Durante o século XIX as chácaras tornaram-se uma opção de morar entre as classes dominantes. Resultante de um período próspero devido à riqueza ocasionada pela cultura do café, esse novo estilo de moradia passa a representar em determinados locais sinônimo de luxo e status. Em Jacareí, não foi diferente. É a partir dessa premissa que tomou-se objeto de estudo a Chácara Xavier, uma das poucas propriedades desse padrão que ainda conserva várias de suas características enquanto exemplar daquele período. Tendo testemunhado vários acontecimentos, esse local tinha ainda muito a mostrar. Dessa forma, a cultura material recuperada através dos métodos e técnicas utilizados pela arqueologia, aliada a uma série de opções oferecidas pela Arqueologia Histórica como estudos documentais, levantamentos arquitetônicos, história oral, entre outras, acabou revelando parte desta história, bem como algumas transformações ocorridas não só no espaço, mas principalmente no modo de vida de uma sociedade que começava a se esboçar / During XIX century, the rural residences became a living option among dominant classes. Result of a prosper age caused by the coffee culture\'s richness, this new life style was going to represent, in some places, splendour and status. In Jacareí, it was not different. Starting from this premise, Chácara Xavier was taken as object of study: being one of the few properties with such standart wich conserves several self-characteristics while a sample of that age. Confirming several events, this local still had a lot to show. In that way, the material culture that was recovered by methods and technics used by archaeology, plus series of options offered by Historical Archaeology, like documental studies, architetonical risings, oral history, among other things, was about to reveal part of this history, including some transformations that occours not only in this place, but mainly in the way of living of a society that begans to plot out

Dans l’ensemble des recherches consacrées au vêtement, la mode enfantine française reste peu étudiée. Pourtant le vestiaire enfantin occidental du 18e siècle à nos jours, est abondamment présent dans les collections des musées de mode, d’ethnologie ou d’arts décoratifs. En partant de l’étude de ces fonds majoritairement inexploités et en les croisant avec des archives de la confection et des témoignages d’usagers, notre thèse analyse la relation de l’enfant à son vêtement. S’il possède des capacités à parler, à manipuler et à vouloir, l’enfant quand il nait n’est pas imprégné des usages qui fondent nos vies en société. L’éducation de l’enfant consiste, dans un rapport de dépendance constant à l’adulte, à socialiser le petit d’homme pour le faire entrer dans l’histoire. En prenant en compte la capacité du vêtement à habiller les identités et à investir le porteur d’un statut particulier, notre étude l’envisage comme un outil essentiel d’imprégnation dans les mains de l’adulte. Parallèlement, système technique manipulable, ensemble de sensations, objet d’envies et de fantasmes, le vêtement est utilisé par l’enfant à sa manière. Afin de sortir d’un regard purement adulte, nous avons cherché à déconstruire ce processus de socialisation en analysant l’appropriation du vêtement par l’enfant. Ainsi, croisée avec des données historiques, sociologiques ou ethnologiques, l’étude des vêtements d’enfant issus des collections muséales française apporte un autre éclairage à l’histoire de l’enfant et montre l’apport de la culture. / Despite the abundance of children’s clothes in the collections of French Fashion, Applied Arts and Folk Museums, Children’s Fashion is not a major topic in Fashion History. Crossing a corpus of artefacts with ethnographical, historical and sociological testimonies and archives from the Fashion Industry, this research intends to analyse the relationship between the child and its clothing. Despite its abilities to talk, manipulate and desire, the child is not imbued by the habits defining social beings. Therefore, in a constant interdependence with the adult, the child’s education consists in its socialisation to bring him into history. Through the analysis of the capacity of Fashion to dress the identities, this research approaches clothing as an education tool in the hands of the adults. In parallel, as a technical handling kit, a set of sensations and an object of desire, clothing is an adoptable system by the child who dresses up itself as it wants. In order to avoid an adult focus, this study looks also at the deconstruction of this socialisation process by analysing the appropriation of fashion by children. Finally, this study of children’s clothing provides another approach to Childhood History and shows the essential contribution of the study of the Material Culture to a Childhood Sociology, source of knowledge of the mechanisms of our society.

Hamlet's tragedy is constructed as a perspective of matter that is destined for decay, and this "objective," or "object-focused," mode of viewing the material world enhances theatrical and theological understandings of the play's props, figurative language, and characters. Hamlet's "objective mode" evokes early modern materialist philosophies of vanitas and memento mori, and it is communicated in theatre through semiotic means, whereby material items stand for moral ideas according to an established sign-signified relation. Extending an objective reading to Hamlet's characters reveals their function as images, or two-dimensional emblems, in moments of slowing narrative time. In the graveyard scene (5.1), characters and theatrical props cooperate to materialize the objective perspective. As a prop, Ophelia's corpse complicates the objective mode through its semantic complexity. Thus, she stands apart from other characters as one that both serves to construct and to deconstruct the objective mode. Hamlet's tragic outlook, which depends upon an understanding of matter as destined for decay, and of material items as ends in themselves rather than vehicles for spiritual transformation, is an early modern notion concurrent with theological debates surrounding the Eucharist. Drawing upon art-historical, linguistic, feminist, theological, and theatrical approaches, this thesis contributes to concurrent discourse on Hamlet's tragic genre.

La céramique à paroi fine est un groupe de vaisselle romaine parmi les plus représentés sur les sites archéologiques. Un échantillonnage important (environ 25000 fragments) a été mis au jour dans les différents secteurs fouillés de la cité étrusco-romaine de Musarna (territoire de Tarquinia). Son étude a permis d'identifier cinquante-huit formes de vases et de retracer leur évolution technique. Leur comparaison avec le matériel provenant des sites voisins, de l'Étrurie, de toute la péninsule italique, et des territoires conquis a conduit à l'identification de plusieurs zones de production. Divisés en six phases chronologiques, leur datation s'étend entre le dernier tiers du IIe siècle av. J.-C. et le IIe siècle ap. J.-C. / The Thin-walled ware is one of the most represented class of vessel ceramic found on roman archaeological sites. An important batch (around 25000 shards) has been found in the various areas explored in one of the etrusco-roman cities of Tarquinia's territory: Musarna. The study of that Corpus allowed us to identify fifty-eight forms of vases and to trace their technological evolution. The parallels found with the material coming from others sites in Etruria, in the whole Italy and in the conquered territories have evidenced the existence of several productions areas. The Thin-walled ware from Musarna can be divided in six chronological phases, distributed between the last third of the II century B.C. and the II century A.D.

Prejjem is a style of guitar music that is practiced in the Maltese islands and its diaspora as part of the għana folksinging tradition. Although għana has been studied by a number of ethnomusicologists, anthropologists, sociologists and linguists, its guitar aspect has been almost entirely overlooked by academia. Emerging in Malta over a century ago, prejjem is analogous to the guitar component of flamenco or fado. It, too, is a complex improvised guitar tradition that serves to accompany and complement a vocal tradition and which simultaneously exists as a separate instrumental ensemble practice. Guitarists maintain a close-knit association with the għana community, but they also engage in a set of activities and behaviours with one another that are unique to their position within it. In this thesis, I examine both the social and musical attributes of prejjem and its communities of guitarists, employing a range of methodologies and theories drawn from a number of disciplines to reveal the totality of the practice as it exists in Malta and its diaspora (specifically Australia). Drawing extensively upon ethnographic fieldwork research that I have undertaken in Malta and Australia, I explore the material culture of prejjem, its musical forms, its history, its performance environments, the sociability of its participants and the means by which performers develop musical ability. These topics are bound together as a holistic investigation into how knowledge about prejjem exists in the għana community, how social factors shape the forms of this knowledge and, most importantly, how this knowledge is transmitted and transformed as it passes between members of this community.

A Imagem Aparecida, em todos os casos, é o seu grande referencial. Etnograficamente ela não pode ser definida apenas pela religião, pela economia ou pela política porque as três categorias lhes são insuficientes. Aparecida é um nome polivalente e essa dissertação tem por objetivo explorar as potências antropológicas de seus espaços, suas imagens e seus sentidos / Abstract: Located in the state of São Paulo ¿ Brazil, the city of Aparecida is famous not only for its catholic Basilic of Our Lady Aparecida, but also for its great commercial importance. In any case, the main reference to the city remains the "Aparecida Image" ¿ a famous clay sculpture found in a river. On an ethnographic point of view, it is insufficient to define it based only on Religion, Economics or Politics. Aparecida has a multivalent name, and therefore this dissertation has the objective to explore all the anthropological potencies of this spaces, images and meanings / Mestrado / Antropologia Social / Mestre em Antropologia Social

The subject of this work is the study of the position of Levý Hradec in the process of the formation of the development of the early medieval Přemyslid domain. The description of the current state of the art of the study of written and archaeological sources leads to a new specification of the settlement area of Levý Hradec. The core of this thesis critically evaluates the cemeteries of Žalov-Na Panenské, Žalov-cihelna A and Žalov-cihelna B, Žalov-Levý Hradec and Levý Hradec-St Clement's Church with regard to other burials in the cadastre of Žalov. The analysis of the burial rite and the material culture aims to specify the cultural and chronological frames, which it will be possible to utilise in the study of early medieval burial grounds not only in Bohemia but in Central Europe in general. The study of the social aspects of burying allows to track the differences in the dating and social setting of various communities, to deal with correspondences and differences between the inhabitants of Levý Hradec, of the Prague agglomeration and of the Mělník District, as well as the differences between individual hillforts. This way it is possible to prove that the cemeteries turn out to be a valuable source for the study of the development of the Central Bohemian Přemyslid domain. The introductory part...

(in English): This thesis solves the fundamental questions in research on castles and factual example in the form of Týřov. It deals with the history and architectural development of the castle, including a discussion of the origin of architectural traditions, which in previous works considered for the import of French architecture. A substantial part is dealing with the castle in the landscape, where the emphasis is on natural conditions, which give structural form of the castle. Another aspect that has been solved in this work is to establish a castle on the local infrastructure and major traffic junctions, or obstacles (fords, etc.), Including a link to the village maids and raw materials. In the studio castles are often accentuated features of the castle. In addressing this issue we must address its structural form, infrastructure, facilities, raw material and inventory of the castle, which reports on the social status of its inhabitants. The last part is the processing of the selected file material. This process yielded pottery dating the 13th century, which still missing in the region. The processed material is also evidenced by the daily life of the inhabitants of the castle.

Název: Everyday life of the medieval farmstead. Evidence of the material culture in Central Europe. Master 's thesis deals with a summary of knowledge about material culture of deserted high- and late-medieval villages in the Czech Republic and assessing their interpretive possibilities for understanding the everyday life of the medieval farmstead. Attention is focused on the metallic component of the material culture. Basis of the thesis consists of the summary and critical evaluation of archaeological objects discovered during researches of deserted medieval villages, especially since the second half of the 20th century until today (Pfaffenschlag, Konůvky, Bystřec, Mstěnice, Svídna, Potálov, Kravín and Spindelbach). Part of the work is an analysis of finding and spatial context at the discussed archaeological sites. The findings are in the end compared with the selected foreign deserted medieval village (Hard in Lower Austria). This thesis evaluates how a study of the material culture contributes to economic issues and the socio-economic structures of a medieval village. Keywords deserted medieval village - farmstead - everyday life - material culture - metal artifacts - middle ages - Bohemia and Moravia - Austria

Anotation The archeology of a town house in the Old Town of Prague is one of the most complex themes of medieval research. Rescue archaeological research of 1992, on the area of the parcel no. 690 in Rybná street revealed a large number of serious medieval finds and artifacts of material culture that indicate the change of the early medieval Prague settlement agglomeration of the 12th century in the legally constituted town of the Middle Ages. With the help of detailed analyzes of these archeological situations and artifacts, we are able to give insight into the everyday life of a medieval citizen in the outskirts of the city district, taking into account the previously unknown facts. Keywords Middle age - town - town house - construction relics - material culture - socio-topografic analysis.
