Show moreDans cette dissertation, je me propose d'analyser quatre oeuvres pour en tirer les themes communs et divergents. La methode utilisee est celle de la comparaison par dyades. Je vais montrer que ces femmes refusent d'accepter le code social qui les assujettit et qu'elles luttent pour garder leur identite. Nous avons trouve qu'il y a beaucoup de semes qui sont communs aux quatre oeuvres. Par exemple, cage, feu, amour, mariage, mort, religion et liberte (voir tableau en appendice). Parmi les quatre heroines, la princesse de Cleves et Therese ont trouve leur liberte en dehors du mariage. Madame de Cleves reste veuve apres la mort de son mari malgre sa passion pour le Duc de Nemours. Therese, apres un attentat semi-conscient sur son mari, se retrouvera seule a Paris. Cependant, Silvia a trouve sa liberte dans le mariage parce que son futur mari, Dorante, va l'aimer en depit de l'habit de soubrette qu'elle porte. En ce qui concerne Lotus, elle a trouve sa liberte apres la mort de son fiance, Georges, et a consacre le reste de sa vie a instruire des enfants pauvres. Georges, comme Dorante, aime Lotus et l'a aide a s'aimer elle-meme et gagner confiance en sa propre personne.

Show moreLe but de ce mémoire est de traiter des aspects majeurs du vaudou utilisés par René Depestre dans Hadriana dans tous mes rêves. Il se peut que ce roman soit la meilleure des œuvres de Depestre puisque c'est dans ce roman que Depestre a cristallisé tous ses usages du vaudou en tant que principe unificateur des différents thèmes qui y sont abordés. Dans ses premières œuvres en vers, on remarque que Depestre a déjà utilisé le vaudou comme un outil sociopolitique. Par exemple, dans Un arc-en-ciel pour l'occident chrétien, le vaudou est un moyen pour bouleverser le statu quo raciste dans le Sud des Etats-Unis. Après sa rupture avec le parti communiste et son exil de Cuba, Depestre est devenu déçu avec le marxisme et n'importe quelle autre machine politique. A la suite de cette rupture il a produit son premier roman, Le mât de cocagne. Ici, le vaudou devient un outil utilisé par le gouvernement pour contrôler l'esprit du peuple, un opium pour les gens simples, sans instruction. Ensuite, dans ses œuvres suivantes fictives en prose, le vaudou est lié désormais à une dimension érotique chez Depestre qui a proclamé lui-même qu'il a abandonné la politique. Par conséquent l'expression politique ne s'exprime guère dans ces œuvres. Enfin, plus tard dans sa carrière, la façon humoristique dans laquelle Depestre s'est exprimé atteint un sommet avec ses œuvres fantastiques en prose, surtout avec Hadriana dans tous mes rêves. Cependant, en ce qui concerne cette étude, on va essayer de montrer ce qu'on appelle les différents aspects ou plutôt avatars du vaudou qui se trouvent dans Hadriana. C'est-à-dire le vaudou dans ses rapports avec la vie politique, la dimension érotique et l'humour. Depestre s'est exprimé le mieux comme auteur complet et complexe en utilisant et combinant tous ces aspects du vaudou dans Hadriana.

Title: Elemens de musique, theorique et pratique, suivant les principes de M. Rameau by Jean Le Rond d'Alembert: an annotated new translation and a comparison to Rameau's theoretical writings.
Creator: Elsberry, Kristie Beverly
Abstract/Description: Jean le Rond d'Alembert's (1717-1783) treatise on music theory entitled (')Elemens de musique was a popular, concise summary of Jean-Philippe Rameau's (1683-1764) theories. It appeared in two editions, 1752 and 1762, and six printings. Between the two editions, Rameau and d'Alembert experienced differences of ideas brought on by Rameau's criticism of the music articles (several by d'Alembert) in the Encyclopedie.

Show moreJean le Rond d'Alembert's (1717-1783) treatise on music theory entitled (')Elemens de musique was a popular, concise summary of Jean-Philippe Rameau's (1683-1764) theories. It appeared in two editions, 1752 and 1762, and six printings. Between the two editions, Rameau and d'Alembert experienced differences of ideas brought on by Rameau's criticism of the music articles (several by d'Alembert) in the Encyclopedie. The 1762 edition was chosen as the basis for this study since it incorporates some of d'Alembert's newer theoretical ideas. An English translation by Thomas Blacklock (1721-1791) of this 1762 (')Elemens appeared as part of the "Music" article in Encyclopaedia Britannica, second edition (1784). Seven other encyclopaedias printed the Elements in part or in full. On examination of the first translation, archaisms of language, numerous errors, and the omission of d'Alembert's "Response to Rameau" reveal the need for a modern, accurate, and complete translation. The new translation is annotated by the present writer with d'Alembert's sources from Rameau's Traite, Nouveau systeme, Generation harmonique, Demonstration, Nouvelles reflexions . . . sur sa Demonstration, and Code. The commentary is divided into three portions: (1) the historical context of (')Elemens with a short biographical sketch of d'Alembert and an outline of d'Alembert and Rameau's professional relationship; (2) the two theorists' differences and similarities in theoretical concepts; four parties--Esteve, Tartini, the Encyclopedists, and Bethizy--besides Rameau may have contributed to changes between the two editions; and (3) a discussion of Rameau's principles "clarified, developed, and simplified" by d'Alembert. The majority of (')Elemens is a fairly successful summary of Rameau's theories despite d'Alembert's lack of knowledge of musical practice. D'Alembert does exclude Rameau's use of numbers and of string multiples to explain musical phenomena. He develops a common partials principle to justify or reject harmonic movement and chord formation. In conclusion, d'Alembert selects, tempers, and develops Rameau's ideas.

Show moreThis thirteenth-century epic comes from the manuscript 2.0.1. of the Peterhouse College at the University of Cambridge. It has been written in an Old French dialect and contains 9608 verses which constitute 246 rimed laisses (two other manuscripts can be found; one at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, XIII$\sp{\rm th}$ century and the other at the Bibliotheque de la Faculte de Medecine of Montpellier, XIV$\sp{\rm th}$ century). This epic narrates the life of Maugis, knight, enchanter and soothsayer, who not only fights the Sarrasins before Toledo, Milan or Palermo, but also leads ruthless feudal battles against the emperor Charlemagne. The hero, instructed by an old magician Baudri, soon becomes a fearful conjurer due to his brilliant sense for artfulness. Throughout his numerous audacious feats of skill, the magician is helped by the "fairy-horse" Bayard as well as the famous sword Froberge., The introduction of this bilingual translation analyzes the main characters, Maugis, Charlemagne, Espiet and the emir Vivien, through a variety of different themes such as the feudal relations between vassals and king, crusades against the pagans, conversions of muslims to christianity and of course, love between knights and sarrasin princesses. The "merveilleux" or supernatural, is the predominant characteristic of this work, and the growing influence of the "matiere de Bretagne" is here, subtilely combined with the traditional rhetoric of the epic., In conclusion, this epic will be reinserted into the cycle to which it belongs, the rebel cycle, in order to understand better the frequent allusions to other epic heroes such as Girart de Roussillon, Renaut de Montauban ou les quatre fils Aymon.

Show moreThe purpose of this study is to compare three concepts of the theme of "metamorphosis" in twentieth century literature, namely in three selected novels by Kafka, Butor and Garc(')ia Marquez respec- tively. The search for the "Metamorphosis of the Metamorphosis" is divided in two parts: the history of metamorphosis from the Biblical creation through the Greek myths and finally to modern literature. The second part will focus on the analysis of the three works., The Die Verwandlung (1915), by Franz Kafka, exemplifies the external aspect of a regressive change, from a human being to a cockroach. The "metamorphosis" in Kafka's novel reveals a day- dream, a psychic wound inflicted by the first World War on the individual and society in general. La Modification (1957), by the French New Novelist Michel Butor, emphasizes the process of internalized metamorphosis on the subconscious level, the modify- ing myth of a modern descent to Hades. This inner modification leads to an aborted quest for a manly God, to a wrong "Change of Heart." The Colombian novel Cien anos de soledad (1969), by Gabriel Garc(')ia Marquez, both combines and explains our three thematic views of "metamorphosis," "modification," and "alchemy" as an endless inward movement inevitably making its way back to nothingness--mental alienation and self-destruction. The solitary cycle of progress and regression in the biological and the spiritual dimensions of man in the Columbian novel is expressed in the apocalyptic return to a Zero Degree., This study concludes by focusing on multiple novelistic, artistic and cinematographic devices in the twentieth century leading to a pessimistic view of society. Most of the authors and artists who use the theme of metamorphosis after the traumatic Nietzsche's proclamation of the death of God and the genetic experience of "mutation" caused by atomic bombs show a cyclic regression, a spiritual disease: the aspiration of contemporary man to be God, which makes man a beast.
