In his most popular prose work, Mary Magdalens Funeral Teares (1591), English Jesuit Robert Southwell adapts the Mary Magdalene tradition by incorporating the meditative practices of St. Ignatius Loyola coupled with the Petrarchan language of poetry. Thus, he creates a prose work that ministered to Catholic souls, appealed to Protestant audiences, and initiated the literature of tears in England. Southwell readapts the traditional image of Mary Magdalene for a Catholic Early Modern audience by utilizing the techniques of Jesuit meditation, which later flourished in the weeper texts of Richard Crashaw and George Herbert. His vividly imagined scenes also employ the Petrarchan and Ovidian language of longing and absence and coincide with both traditional and mystic early church writers such as Bernard and Augustine. Through this combination, Southwell’s Marie Magdalens Funeral Teares resonated with Catholics deprived of both ministry and the presence of Christ in the Eucharist. These contributions solidify Southwell’s place as a pivotal figure in the religious and literary contexts of Early Modern England.

Dans notre recherche, le premier volume inclut une composante linguistique comportant une analyse textométrique du corpus afin de compléter la vision d’ensemble dans une optique statistique servant à élargir le regard porté sur le discours de Jules Verne. En nous appuyant sur les possibilités offertes par les nouvelles technologies, nous avons fait un travail détaillé portant sur presque l’intégralité du corpus Verne.Le deuxième volume vise à explorer l’influence de la Franc-maçonnerie dans l’écriture vernienne. À cet égard, nous pouvons dire que depuis quelques années, de nouvelles tendances dans l’interprétation de ses textes viennent ajouter un ingrédient supplémentaire à l’éventail de recettes nous permettant d’interpréter autrement l’écrivain nantais. La critique littéraire pose ses regards sur un Jules Verne différent et dont l’œuvre est influencée par l’ésotérisme, conception bien éloignée de la vision que la tradition lui avait accordée. Nous trouvons capital de signaler qu’une composante philosophique proche de certaines sociétés secrètes imprègne l’œuvre de Verne au point de mériter une étude plus approfondie. / In this work, a first volume includes a linguistic component involving a textometric analysis of Jules Verne’s writings that provides an overview of his work from a statistical perspective; this analysis has allowed us to enhance our vision of his discourse. Taking advantage of new possibilities offered by recent technologies, we have performed a detailed study of nearly all of the corpus of Verne.The second volume explores the influence of Freemasonry on Verne’s work. This volume relates to new trends that have been explored in recent years, providing an additional element that has permitted a new interpretation of the writer. This body of literary criticism has examined Jules Verne under a different light, viewing his work as being influenced by esotericism, a perspective significantly removed from the traditional conception of his writings. It is important to emphasize that a philosophical component, close to certain secret societies such as Freemasonry, permeates the work of Verne and deserves further study. / En nuestra investigación, el primer volumen incluye un componente lingüístico que contiene básicamente un análisis textométrico del corpus, con el propósito de completar el panorama desde la óptica de la estadística a fin de ampliar la imagen que se tiene sobre el discurso de Verne. Sobre la base de las posibilidades que ofrecen las nuevas tecnologías, hemos hecho un trabajo detallado de casi todo el corpus Verne.El segundo volumen explora la influencia de la Franmasonería en los escritura verniana. A este respecto, podemos decir que en los últimos años, nuevas tendencias en la interpretación de sus textos vienen a agregar un ingrediente complementario al abanico de recetas que nos permiten interpretar de otra manera al autor nacido en Nantes. La crítica literaria pone sus ojos en un Jules Verne diferente, autor cuya obra está influenciada por el esoterismo, reception ésta muy alejada de la visión que la tradición le había dado. Creemos capital señalar que un componente filosófico, cercano de algunas sociedades secretas, impregna la obra de Verne como para merecer un estudio más profundo.

Com base em um referencial teórico que incluiu a história da arte e do design, a semiótica e estu-dos da cor na cultura, esta tese defende a ideia de cor como linguagem e construção cultural, observando seu uso em diferentes sistemas de significação, no design e, especialmente, no design de embalagens. O trabalho parte da evolução da linguagem visual da embalagem, observada en-tre o final do século XIX e o início do século XXI, expondo as mudanças ocorridas no design como expressão dos diferentes momentos da sociedade e da cultura visual ocidental, e resgatando a importância histórica das cores para a comunicação. Num segundo momento revisam-se funda-mentos da semiótica, transpondo-os para a abordagem da cor como signo e para a investigação da linguagem cromática como um sistema. Para explicitar os princípios estruturais dessa lingua-gem, os significados atribuídos às cores e aos atributos cromáticos são revisados por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica. Através de estudo empírico, esta tese examina a linguagem cromática do design de embalagens contemporâneo, a partir de um corpus de embalagens de alimentos co-mercializados no Brasil. Os resultados mostraram que o sistema de significados da cor no design de embalagens se apoia tanto nos campos associativos gerados pelos atributos de matiz, clarida-de e saturação das cores, quanto nas oposições cromáticas e semânticas que tais características criam. A abordagem do estudo foi além da análise estrutural, envolvendo simultaneamente aspec-tos sintáticos, semânticos e pragmáticos da cor, buscando explicitar sua utilização como instru-mento para a difusão de ideias e valores. Foi observado que as cores assumem funções visuais, icônicas, indiciais e simbólicas na comunicação da embalagem. No nível simbólico, os sentidos mais frequentes assumidos pelas cores corresponderam a diferentes discursos que orientam as práticas alimentares contemporâneas. A pesquisa mostrou que o design dialoga com outros sis-temas de significação e resgata, difunde e reelabora o simbolismo das cores para construir ima-gens de qualidade, pureza, bem-estar, saúde, ecologia e feminilidade, entre outras, refletindo concepções ideológicas e culturais que têm lugar na vida contemporânea. / Based on a theoretical referential which included art and design history, semiotics and cultural studies of color, this thesis supports the idea of color as language and cultural construction, observing its use in different systems of signification, in design and, particularly, in packaging design. The work starts from the evolution of visual language of packaging, observed between late 19th century and early 21st century, showing the changes occurred in design as an expression of the different moments of western society and visual culture, and bringing back the historical importance of colors in communication. Secondly, the work reviews the fundamentals of semiotics, transposing them to the approach of the color as a sign, and to the investigation of color language as a system. In order to explain the structural principles of this language, the meanings of colors and chromatic attributes are reviewed through bibliographical research. Through an empirical study, this thesis examines the chromatic language of contemporary packaging design, from a corpus of food packaging commercialized in Brazil. The results showed that the system of significations of color in packaging design leans both on the associative fields generated by the attributes of color -- hue, brightness and saturation -- and on the chromatic and semantic oppositions that such characteristics create. The study approach went beyond the structural analysis, involving simultaneously syntactic, semantic and pragmatic aspects of color, trying to explain its use as a tool for the diffusion of ideas and values. It was observed that the colors assume visual, iconic, indexical and symbolic functions in the packaging communication. In the symbolic level, the most frequent senses assumed by the colors corresponded to different discourses which guide the contemporary food practices. The research showed that design communicates with other systems of signification and rescues, spreads out and reconstructs the color symbolism to construct images of quality, pureness, welfare, health, ecology and femininity, among others, reflecting ideological and cultural conceptions which have their place in contemporary life.

Title of the thesis: Analysis of the work of Romain Gary Keywords: dialogue, motiv of meeting, morality of relationship, identity, crisis of identity, alienation, symbology, "unspeakableness" (impossibility to expresse an experience having an intime or an extreme character), novel, figure of "the third", Jewry Abstract: The principal objective of this thesis is to show the ideological relationship between the ideas of Romain Gary, the french writer of Russian origin, and the philosophy of dialogue, that was founded by Martin Buber and elaborated by Emmanuel Lévinas. We want to reach this aim on the one side through the interpretation and the confrontation of the several philosophical thoughts and on the other side through the analysis of the novel work. This thesis is separated into four main chapters. In the first head we try to approach the effect of the economic development and the all-society transformation, that France passed through at the turn of the 19th and 20th century and especially after the First World War, that it had on the cultural life and the philosophical atmosphere. In the second head we want to define the basic thesis of the philosophy of the dialogue. The third part is dedicated to familiarization with the personality of Romain Gary and his publication. And the last part belongs to the...

The core thesis is an attempt to contextual interpretation of fairy tales K. J. Erben from the perspective of theological anthropology. And in the context of the overall issue of fairy tales then they found values that can be picked up and interpreted in this way. Own interpretation precedes five theoretical chapters where first discuss the issue of fairy tales, their typology, origin and development. And about the specifics of time and formation by K. J. Erben. Homer and J. R. R. Tolkien become the inspiration for subsequent interpretation. Both works have been interpreted by Christian. Integrative and reconstructive theory and is shown in the interpretation of two great works of world literature. Odyssey, a work whose creation is not much known, is a model for integrative theory. The Lord of the Rings introduces reconstructive theory, because here it is the opposite. From the peculiar structure of the classic fairy tale, then based on its own interpretation. Its core is the study of the morphology of fairy V. J. Propp. Fairytale Firebird and Foxy Fox is an introduction to the interpretation of other fairy tales. First, its symbols are analyzed and presented in the context of the fairy happening. Later, finding the core at a time when there was not a fairy tale. And that its structure is given in connection with the initiation ritual. Consequently, there are elaborated some aspects of man: man as "soulful dust", sinner and image of God. Continuously to and in relation to other fairy tales, this topic is distributed to more general plane fatality, life, death, good and evil. Question the value is processed in the chapter on aesthetics and symbolism, with an emphasis on symbolism symbol, myth and ritual.

The thesis deals with the questions, how the Christians in the Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom remind themselves the history of salvation and how they make the history of salvation present (i. e. anamnesis of the history of salvation) trough the symbols followed by the word. In the first part the author deals with the Christians symbolic acts in the liturgy as the symbolic acts express their relation to God. In the next part he pays attention to the process of the celebration of the liturgy of Saint John Chrisostom. These themes that describe symbolic acts of celebration are followed by the chapter that deals with the spiritual aspects of the liturgy. For a better orientation in the next text he closes the introductory part with the theological conception of the selected authors of the liturgical commentaries. In the main part of the thesis the author focuses on the history of the liturgy and on the liturgical commentaries of the selected authors of the Orthodox Christianity, who influenced the development of the Byzantine liturgy. Further, he focuses on the analysis of the present text of the liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom, where he searches for the ways the anamnesis of the history of salvation is reached. In the final part of the work he presents the results of the analysis and concludes that the Jesus life is really reminded and made present in the particular parts of the Byzantine liturgy.
