La première partie de ce mémoire intitulé Nous étions les nerfs rêvant d’une émeute, propose une suite de poèmes dont le corps est le principal thème exploré. Il s’agit d’un corps mis à mal, remis en cause, mis en danger et en déséquilibre. Le corps est l’élément déclencheur des tensions. Il est détaillé dans son rapport physique à l’autre par le désir et la sensualité. Le corps physique et pensant est dépeint comme étant lui-même un monde entier traversé par les blessures, le temps, la maladie. Le texte devient corps. Les images, comme moyen de dire en résistance à la langue commune, révèlent la relation amoureuse d’une manière à la fois crue et sensuelle. La seconde partie de ce mémoire s’intéresse à l’image du corps dans la poésie de Roger Des Roches, et plus précisément dans les recueils Le Soleil tourne autour de la Terre et Tout est normal, tout est terminé. Ces derniers, qui s’inscrivent dans le paysage de la tendresse, de l’érotisme et du formalisme, explore le corps, surtout celui de la femme, comme moteur d’écriture. On y lit le rêve littéraire, c’est-à-dire la pulsion d’écrire. Chez Des Roches, le corps est écrivant, frontière, idéalisé. Il compare la jouissance sexuelle à la jouissance textuelle. / The first part of this memoir entitled Nous étions les nerfs rêvant d'une émeute, proposes poems with the body as the central theme. A bruised and beaten down body, constantly challenged, put in danger, out of its equilibrium. The body is also the trigger of many tensions. It's being detailed in its physical relationship with the other through desire and sensuality. The physical and thinking body is depicted as being a world by itself, a world marked by injuries, the passage of time and sickness. The text here is the body. The images, as means of saying in resistance with common language, reveals the love relationship in a crude and sensual way. The second part of this memoir analyzes the image of the body in the poetry of Roger Des Roches, more precisely in two books : Le Soleil tourne autour de la Terre and Tout est normal, tout est terminé. Set in a perspective of tenderness, eroticism and formalism, theses books explore mostly the female body as writing vector where we can read the literary dream, namely the drive of writing. In Des Roches poems, the body is a text, a frontier and an ideal. It compares sexual and textual pleasure.

Many anthropological studies have shown the prevalence of the sacred in primitive societies, manifested primarily in significant gestures such as exchanges, rituals, festivals, and the use of time and space. Some studies, in particular those of Roger Caillois and Mircea Eliade, have demonstrated that traces of the sacred, though seemingly displaced, remain present in modern and secular societies. This thesis will examine and bring to light these remnants of sacred behavior in the contemporary settings of the stories of Gabrielle Roy, focusing primarily on food-sharing, gift-giving, and festivals. Each analysis presented will detail how different aspects of the sacred are manifested in contemporary, though fictional, society, and each will permit individuals to identify ways in which modern man, whether religious or secular, is still very connected to sacred practices.

Baseball's Steroid Era put many different high-profile athletes under pressure to explain steroid allegations that were made against them. This thesis used textual analysis of news reports and media portrayals of the athletes, along with analysis of their image repair strategies to combat those allegations, to determine how successful the athletes were in changing public opinion as evidenced through the media. The contexts, media reports, and strategies of Jason Giambi, Mark McGwire, Andy Pettitte, and Roger Clemens were analyzed and revealed important implications involving effective use of image repair strategies. They provided a deeper framework for the success of mortification strategies. An authentic, sincere mortification strategy has more power to change the media's reporting and portrayal of the athlete, while stunted or incentivized mortification strategies provide diminishing results. The four different situations of the players and the different combinations of strategies used provide insight into how much a public persona matters in confronting allegations. They show how ineffective the strategy of minimization is against allegations that involve on-field performance. The situations reveal how the promise of future on-field actions, along with actual on-field success can help repair an athlete's image without a solid rhetorical strategy. They show the amount of information offered, along with the strategies used, influences the amount of persuasion that occurs. The different situations also showed how a complete image repair strategy is successful in ending news coverage of the allegations and not just changing the media portrayal.

Text in German / Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht die christologischen Schwerpunkte im Leben und Denken von Frère Roger Schutz von Taizé und zeigt Querverbindungen zu unterschiedlichen theologischen Ansätzen. Dabei werden dogmatische Berührungspunkte zu den Vätern der alten Kirche, zur lutherischen, katholischen und orthodoxen Christologie dargestellt und untersucht. Als Basis der systematisch-theologischen Forschungsarbeit dienen die theologischen Studien, Tagebücher und erbaulichen Schriften, die Roger Schutz zwischen 1943 und 2005 geschrieben hat, sowie die liturgischen Hefte und Gebetsbücher von Taizé, die auf ihren christologischen Gehalt untersucht werden. Die poetische Sprache von Frère Roger erfordert eine literarische und theologische Interpretation, die mit zwei Brüdern der Gemeinschaft in Taizé besprochen wurde. Die Entwicklung der christologischen Ansichten von Roger Schutz wird durch alle Phasen seines Lebens hindurch untersucht, sodass am Schluss der Arbeit drei wichtige Thesen dargestellt werden können, die für die Zukunft von Taizé und für die christologische Diskussion im ökumenischen Umfeld interessant sind. / This present dissertation researches the christological key factors in the life and thinking of Frère Roger Schutz of Taizé and shows specific connections to different theological theories. We find several points of reference to the church fathers, the lutheran, catholic and orthodox Christology which are categorized and evaluated. As a base of this systematic research, I use the theological reflections, the diaries and the devotional books which Roger Schutz wrote between 1943 and 2005 as well as the liturgical sheets and prayer books in Taizé center. The poetic language of Frère Roger needs a literally and theological interpretation which I discussed with two Brothers of the community. The development of the christological thinking of Roger Schutz is analysed through all phases of his life, so that at the end of my research I conclude with three final observations which are interesting for the future of the community in Taizé as well as for the christological discussion in the ecumenical context. / Systematic Theology & Theological Ethics / M.

This dissertation concerns itself with the period of the 1920's and 1930's in French intellectual history. Three prominent figures have been chosen from French culture of this period--Nobel Prize-winning author Roger Martin du Gard, cubist painter George Braque, and Christian existentialist Gabriel Marcel--to illustrate the thesis that this era witnessed a major breakdown in the "romantic style." This latter term is employed to describe the prevailing culture of the West dating from the eighteenth century. It is the view of this study that beyond the catastrophic wars and destruction that afflicted the West during this time, there was an underlying crisis taking place in this "romanticism" that caused as much, as was caused by, the events. Hence, the theme of this dissertation is cultural despair and illness. The subjects are used to portray this illness in the state it had reached by the 1920's and 1930's. It is concluded that basic inherent weaknesses that were latent to romanticism came to the surface in the twentieth century because that era was marked by a culmination of historical crises which exposed the hidden cultural one. The study deals with all the general tendencies of romanticism in a critical manner. The intention is to point out the dangers of some of these tendencies, and in what manner they were dealt with by the three subjects, whose approaches to romanticism were varied.

Besides that, a sort of theoric concern that also configurated itself as one of the outlines on which was delineated the agricultural practices at the end of XVIII century and beginning of the XIX century, aiming the thecnincal development. Humphry Davy, who during his his career developed several studies with latent practical concerns, starts in 1802 one cycle of lectures about agricultural chemistry, supported by the Board of Agriculture, which extended until 1812, culminating with the publication of the book Elements of Agriculture in 1813. Davy, is usually known by his works with eletriciy and the posterior identification of several chemical elements. In his researchs, showed great interest towards nature and the composition of the matter, what was not different on agricultural researchs. Under the light of current historiography of science, this work intends to analyze how Humphry Davy used to explain the phenomena linked to vegetation, besides of the relevance of his books to agricultural practices / A agricultura, atividade de fundamental importância para o ser humano, é uma via de acesso à aplicação do conhecimento químico à prática. Além disso, uma certa preocupação teórica também se configurou como um dos contornos em que se delineava a prática agrícola do final do século XVIII e início do século XIX, com vistas ao melhoramento técnico. Humphry Davy, que durante sua carreira desenvolveu vários estudos com latente preocupação prática, inicia em 1802 um ciclo de palestras sobre química agrícola, apoiadas pelo Board of Agriculture, que se estenderam até 1812, culminando com a publicação do livro Elements of Agriculture em 1813. Davy é normalmente conhecido por seus trabalhos envolvendo eletricidade e a posterior identificação de vários elementos químicos. Em suas pesquisas, manifestava grande interesse em relação à natureza e à composição da matéria, o que não se mostrou diferente nas pesquisas agrícolas. À luz da atual historiografia da ciência, este trabalho pretende analisar como Humphry Davy explicava os fenômenos ligados à vegetação, além da relevância do seu livro às práticas agrícolas
