During the carnival season of 1700, as some of the entertainments at the court of Louis XIV, there were presented seven mascarades at Marly, a châiteau near Versailles. The mascarade was a small-scale musical production that combined music and dance and was influenced by the ballet de cour and later the tragidie-lyrique. They were composed by André, Anne, and Pierre Philidor who were members of a family dynasty of wind players connected to the French court for several generations. Sources including the music, libretti, descriptive journal and diary entries, costume drawings, and related research allow reconstruction of the mascarades. These sources, especially the survival of the music in this collection, are important in that they display the type of musical/theatrical entertainment occurring at the court of Louis XIV. The thesis includes a modern edition of the music.

The aim of this thesis is to study critically the works of François-Timoléon, abbé de Choisy (1644-1724) against their historical background, and to present this study in the context or the author's life. It consists of an. introduction followed by seven chapters, the first of which is concerned with biography and bibliography, and the last of which forms a conclusion. In the introduction, I point out that I have chosen four works by Choisy, because of the light that they throw on the writer and his times, for more detailed study, but in so doing have also taken into con- sideration the rest or his output.

Onlinespel tillåter spelare över hela världen att interagera med varandra på nya sätt i virtuella världar. Genom att skapa visuella representationer av sig själva kan spelarna nu kommunicera och uttrycka sig bortom den fysiska världens gränser. I denna fenomenologiska studie undersöker vi hur och om HBTQ-personer upplever sig ha möjligheten att uttrycka sexualitet och könsidentitet i online rollspelet Final Fantasy XIV samt om detta påverkas av spelets gemenskap. Med kvalitativa metoder intervjuades spelare från Final Fantasy XIV för att fånga denna upplevelse och med en queerteoretisk lins titta kritiskt på normerna i spelet. Dessa upplevelser analyserades även ur ett dramaturgiskt perspektiv och ett fokus på identitetsteorier. Resultatet från denna studie antyder att spelaren trots begränsningar finner nya och kreativa sätt att uttrycka sexualitet och kön i spelvärlden. Spelarna gör detta genom att konstruera alternativa identiteter och uppträda med sina avatarer på scenen som är den virtuella världen. Gemenskapen är en stor del av detta då den accepterande atmosfären upplevs uppmuntra till öppenhet. / Online games allow players all over the world to interact with each other in new ways in virtual worlds. Through the creation of visual representations of the players they can communicate and express themselves beyond the limits of the physical world. In this phenomenological study we investigate how and if LGBT individuals experience that they can express sexuality and gender identity in the online roleplaying game Final Fantasy XIV and if the game community affects this experience. With qualitative methods players of Final Fantasy XIV were interviewed to capture this experience and through a queer theoretical lens critically examine the norms of the game. These experiences were also analysed from a dramaturgical perspective and a focus on identity theories. The results suggest that the player, despite restrictions, find new and creative ways of expressing their sexuality and gender in the game world. The players do this by constructing alternative identities and perform with their avatars on the stage that is the virtual world. The community is a major part of this as the accepting atmosphere is perceived to encourage openness.

Orientador: Maria Celeste Tommasello Ramos / Banca: Álvaro Luiz Hattnher / Banca: Maria de Lourdes Baldam / Resumo: O presente trabalho faz uma análise do diálogo intersemiótico estabelecido entre a obra literária Il Decameron (1348-1353), de Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375), e o filme homônimo, de Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975), tendo como principal objetivo elucidar a transcriação artística operada por Pasolini, sobretudo no que diz respeito às construções metalingüísticas presentes no texto literário, que são cinematograficamente retomadas pelo cineasta. No texto sincrético, a metalinguagem está intrinsecamente ligada à poeticidade, seguindo os pressupostos teóricos do próprio Pasolini, expostos em Empirismo Eretico (2000). Os conceitos presentes nesse livro, como o famoso cinema de poesia ou a linguagem da realidade, norteiam a nossa escolha de outros teóricos, os quais nos auxiliam na tarefa de comprovar que tanto Boccaccio quanto Pasolini realizam operações metalingüísticas, sendo que as molduras narrativas por eles criadas explicitam a auto-reflexão acerca do fazer artístico, funcionando, desse modo, como marcas autorais. Assim, as duas versões de Decameron não se comunicam apenas pelo tema, mas pelo modo como as narrativas são estruturadas, pois Pasolini constrói a sua obra por meio de soluções cinematográficas que remetem à construção do discurso realizada por Boccaccio / Abstract: The present work does an analysis of the intersemiotic intercourse established between the literary work Il Decameron (1348-1353), of Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375), and the namesake movie, of Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975), regarding as the main objective to find out the artistic transcreation operated by Pasolini, above all, in what touches the metalinguistic constructions present in the literary text that are cinematographically retraced by the film maker. In the syncretic text, the metalanguage is intrinsically bound to the poetical, following Pasolini's own theoretical conceptions exposed in Empirismo Eretico (2000). The concepts in this book, like the famous cinema of poetry or the language of reality, guide the selection of other theorists, who help in the quest to prove that both Boccaccio as well as Pasolini make metalinguistic operations, as the narrative frames created by him expound the introspection of the artistic labour, working, this way, as authorial marks. Thus, the Decameron's two versions do not communicate only through the theme, but through the way their narratives are structured because Pasolini's work is built hereby cinematographic solutions which allude to Boccaccio's discourse construction / Mestre

La thèse est centrée sur l’étude de l’image noire de Louis XIV dans l’iconographie de trois puissances européennes : la France, les Provinces-Unies et l’Angleterre. Le corpus repose sur des sources variées : estampes, médailles, ou bien encore cartes à jouer, confectionnées entre le début de la guerre de Dévolution (1667) et la mort du roi, en 1715. Cette imagerie critique et satirique réagit aux offensives militaires françaises ainsi qu’à la politique intérieure menée depuis Versailles, notamment en matière religieuse.Dans un premier temps, nous nous proposons d’examiner la genèse de cet imaginaire en établissant son contexte de création, en identifiant artistes et commanditaires et en précisant à quels marchés il se destine. Ensuite vient l’examen des oeuvres. Victime de ces attaques graphiques, Louis XIV est décrit comme un tyran sanguinaire aux ambitions de monarchie universelle et aux moeurs dépravées. Une perspective diachronique permet d’observer l’évolution des griefs lancés au souverain et de montrer le rapport intime que les sources entretiennent avec l’actualité. Enfin, l’analyse s’intéresse à la rhétorique employée par les détracteurs et se penche sur les visées et les effets de ces images infamantes.Élaborées au moment où émerge le pouvoir de la presse et relayées par des pamphlets et des chansons subversives, ces créations constituent des réponses piquantes au déferlement d’images célébrant la gloire du Bourbon et témoignent d’une politisation de plus en plus accrue des Européens de la fin du Grand Siècle à l’aube des Lumières. / This doctoral dissertation studies the dark image of Louis XIV in the iconography of three European powers: France, United Provinces and England. The corpus rests on diverse sources : prints, medals, and even playing cards, all produced between the outset of the War of Devolution (1667) and the king’s death in 1715. These criticism and satire through imagery come as a reaction to the French military offensives as well as to the domestic policy led from Versailles, especially regarding religious affairs.First, we will analyse how this iconography started, by setting the context, identifying artists and sleeping partners, and by stating the targeted market. Then, we will focus on specific art works. As the target of these graphic attacks, Louis XIV is described as a bloody tyrant craving for a universal monarchy and as a follower of devious morals. A diachronic view allows us to observe the evolution of the accusations cast towards the king and to show the close relationship between sources and current affairs. Finally, we will analyse the rhetoric used by the accusers and focus on the aims and impacts of these defamatory images.Produced while the power of the press was emerging and then passed on through pamphlets and subversive songs, this iconography represents cutting remarks against surging images glorifying the Bourbon, and proves the growing politicization of Europeans at the end of Great Century and the dawn of the Enlightenment.

This study explores gender modeling specifically in avatar creation tools through the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV. The design of systems is often limited by the experiences of those who build them. In the video game industry; this means that systems are often designed by white, cisgender, heterosexual men. This demographic does not represent the wealth of people who play games and are subjected to these systems. The needs of marginalized communities, especially queer communities, in terms of affordances and representation tend to be overlooked or forgotten. This issue is apparent in avatar creation tools which define the types of bodies and identities that are allowable in the world of the game. Using Brenda Laurel’s research driven design tactics, modifications to Final Fantasy XIV’s current system were realized through a paper prototype and constant input from a group of self-identifying queer players. Both the feedback from these queer players and the modifications made to the prototype were condensed into a series of suggestions for the creators of these tools. Ultimately, I discovered that there are three key features which vastly improve the affordances of character creators for queer players; the inclusion of pronoun identification, the identification of gender identity, and the separation of both of these options from the character’s physical appearance. Designers who implement these findings in their work will contribute to creating environments that support queer identities.
