Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this study is the exciting period of French overseas exploration directly following the stagnation caused by the Wars of Religion. The book examines the early period of French involvement in Northeastern America through readings of key texts, principally travel and missionary accounts. Among the works examined are travel writings by Marc Lescarbot (Histoire de la Nouvelle-France) and Samuel de Champlain (Voyages), and missionary works by Gabriel Sagard (Dictionnaire de la Langue Huronne, Histoire du Canada), Jean de Brébeuf, and Paul le Jeune (early Relations de Jésuites). Through a careful examination of these texts, the author discerns a French "rewriting of the self" in relation to the American other, represented by both land and people. America, Brazeau argues, allowed a consolidation of past markers of identity, and forced a radical rereading of others, due to the difficulties presented by the Canadian wilderness and its natives. Writing a New France, 1604-1632 sheds fresh light on a significant moment in French colonial history while providing an innovative contribution to the understanding of early modern French identity and cultural contact.
Download or read book Syntagmatia written by Dirk Sacré and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 825 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collective volume has been dedicated to two distinguished scholars of Neo-Latin Studies on the occasion of their retirement after a long and fruitful academic career, one at the Université catholique Louvain-la-Neuve, the other at the internationally renowned Seminarium Philologiae Humanisticae of Leuven University. Both the rich variety of subjects dealt with and the international diversity of the scholars authoring contributions reflect the wide interests of the celebrated Neo-Latinists, their international position, and the actual status of the discipline itself. Ranging from the Trecento to the 21st century, and embracing Latin writings from Italy, Hungary, The Netherlands, Germany, France, Poland, the New World, Spain, Scotland, Denmark and China, this volume is as rich and multifaceted as it is voluminous, for it not only offers studies on well-known figures such as Petrarch, Lorenzo Valla, Erasmus, Vives, Thomas More, Eobanus Hessus, Lipsius, Tycho Brahe, Jean de la Fontaine and Jacob Cats, but it also includes new contributions on Renaissance commentaries and editions of classical authors such as Homer, Seneca and Horace; on Neo-Latin novels, epistolography and Renaissance rhetoric; on Latin translations from the vernacular and invectives against Napoleon; on the teaching of Latin in the 19th century; and on the didactics of Neo-Latin nowadays.

Download or read book Ordering Customs written by Kathryn Taylor and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-12 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ordering Customs explores how Renaissance Venetians sought to make sense of human difference in a period characterized by increasing global contact and a rapid acceleration of the circulation of information. Venice was at the center of both these developments. The book traces the emergence of a distinctive tradition of ethnographic writing that served as the basis for defining religious and cultural difference in new ways. Taylor draws on a trove of unpublished sources—diplomatic correspondence, court records, diaries, and inventories—to show that the study of customs, rituals, and ways of life not only became central in how Venetians sought to apprehend other peoples, but also had a very real impact at the level of policy, shaping how the Venetian state governed minority populations in the city and its empire. In contrast with the familiar image of ethnography as the product of overseas imperial and missionary encounters, the book points to a more complicated set of origins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Héritières de l'Académie de Platon et de la réflexion de Pétrarque sur le loisir lettré, cénacles d'érudits et d'artistes sous la protection de puissants mécènes, les premières académies italiennes et françaises constituent l'un des cadres privilégiés du renouveau philologique, artistique, philosophique et scientifique qui va transfigurer l'Europe de la Renaissance. Les Académies dans l'Europe humaniste forment le premier ouvrage d'une telle envergure sur le sujet ; il pose un regard neuf sur le mouvement académique en Europe jusque vers 1600, notamment les premières académies italiennes (académie romaine de Pomponio Leto, académie napolitaine du Panhormite, puis de Pontano, académie florentine de Careggi, avec Marsile Ficin), les Académies royales françaises du règne des Valois (Académie de Poésie et de Musique, Académie du Palais) sans oublier d'autres organisations contemporaines moins connues. Des recherches documentaires présentent le personnel des divers groupes et les œuvres où s'expriment leurs idéaux. L'observation des rapports qu'elles entretiennent permet de définir la forme et les activités de chaque institution ainsi que la nature de leur contribution à l'extension des savoirs : enrichissement de la philologie classique, de la poétique, de la rhétorique, constitution de dictionnaires ou de répertoires linguistiques, archéologiques ou iconographiques, réflexion sur les arts à la lumière des traditions chrétienne ou néo-platonicienne, ambitions pédagogiques ; se dégage aussi le rôle majeur de la musique dans plusieurs académies. L'étude des liens matériels et idéologiques entre ces sociétés et les Grands (papes, rois, mécènes) donne enfin de mesurer la « liberté » dont jouissent les académies, particulièrement dans leur vocation encyclopédique et européenne.
