Robespierre sul Danubio. Note sul 'transfert' culturale franco-austriaco in "Robespierre. Ein modernes Epos" di Marie Eugenie delle Grazie
No full textThis article investigates a case of French-Austrian cultural migration, devoting attention to the analysis of the transposition mechanisms adopted by Marie Eugenie delle Grazie during the preparation of her epos "Robespierre" (1894). After a brief presentation of the author and her work, the essay reconstructs the sources and discusses the choice of the literary genre as well as the semantic negotiations that gave birth to Robespierre. All this in order to retrace and properly assess the role played by literature in the making of a founding myth of modernity, which is the French Revolution, in the cosmopolitan context of late nineteenth-century Austria

Ansichten vom Irawadi: Die Kapitänsfrau Eugenie Rosenberger berichtet aus Burma, 1893 bis 1897
Full text linkIn the years 1893 to 1897, Eugenie Rosenberger accompanied her husband, a sailing ship captain, on four journeys from European ports to the Irrawaddy delta in Burma (Myanmar). It was the age of the "rice voyages" with sailing ships, which were facing increasing competition in rice transport from the faster steamers. After her last journey, Rosenberger consolidated her diaries and letters and, in 1899, published her book Auf Großer Fahrt. It would become a bestseller. Rosenberger's descriptions of the ports of Bassein (Pathein) and Rangoon
(Yangon) inspired the author of this article to illustrate her literary images with historical photos as well as many he took on the Irawaddy himself in 1988. The text outlines the political and economic situation in Burma in the 1890s. The author describes the water vehicles mentioned by Rosenberger and explains why the water world on the Irawaddy, which he experienced
firsthand in 1988, is comparable to that of the nineteenth century. The concluding section sketches the political and economic history of Burma as well as its economic downfall, as a result of which ancient Asia was still quite discernible there in many places in 1988 - much in contrast to the neighbouring countries
The Mystery of the Past Haunts Again: Jane Eyre and Eugenie Marlitt’s Die zweite Frau
No full textCharlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre is a classic in women’s fiction. When it was published in 1847, it made an immediate impact in mid-Victorian England, partly because it drew on the paradigmatic story of a romance heroine, partly because it interpreted the needs of the women of the time. Since then, the Thornfield Hall attic where Bertha Mason is kept hidden by the master of the house, Mr. Rochester, has become the metaphor of a feminine place of imprisonment and,at the same time, of rebellion against patriarchal rules.About thirty years after Jane Eyre, another woman writer published a book which evokes the haunting atmosphere of the Thornfield Hall theme, i.e., the German writer Eugenie Marlitt, the author of Die zweite Frau ( The second wife, 1874).Interestingly, Marlitt seems to recapture, while rewriting it, the character of Bertha within the context of German domestic fiction. Bothnovels explore indeed the issue of the imprisoned and socially marginalised woman in terms of ethnicity to show how gender roles are inevitably complicit with power relations. In Jane Eyre and Die zweite Frau the house motif is a pivotal element that leads to our understanding of the female characters, but it is above all the mystery that reverberates through the houses of the two novels, represented by two women, the Creole Bertha and the Indian Lotusblume, which, being crucial to the articulation of the discursive thrust underlying the two narratives, discloses the multi-layered construction of femininity
‘Eugenie’ ebbre?
Full text linkLa révision du matériel mis au jour lors des fouilles de P. Orlandini dans le sanctuaire extra-urbain de Bitalemi à Géla dans les années 1960 conduit à s’interroger sur les pratiques rituelles accomplies en ce lieu et sur la fonction de la céramique qu’on y a trouvée. L’attention se porte sur un certain nombre de cratères, dont la fonction principale est le mélange de vin et d’eau. Mettant en doute la consommation de vin durant les Thesmophories célébrées dans le sanctuaire, on s’interroge sur la nature du breuvage le mieux adapté à des fidèles rassemblées en l’honneur de Déméter et qui pourrait avoir été préparé dans les cratères. Puisque les abeilles et le miel jouent un rôle central en relation avec les eugeneis gynaikes (les épouses légitimes et les mères qui participent à la fête), l’article fait l’hypothèse que, durant cette fête, les cratères ont pu être utilisés pour le mélange de l’hydromel, une boisson de tradition ancienne, composée d’eau et de miel, et au pouvoir enivrant.The analysis of the material unearthed in the excavations carried out by P. Orlandini in the extraurban sanctuary of Bitalemi at Gela in the 1960s led the author to address the ritual practices that took place there and the uses of the pottery. The paper pays particular attention to the discovery of a certain number of craters, containers mainly intended for the mixing of wine with water. Regarding the consumption of wine during the celebration of Thesmophoria, which took place in the sanctuary, the author wonders what might have been the most suitable drink for the worshippers gathered there in honor of Demeter, a drink that could have been prepared in those same craters. Since bees and honey play a central role in relation to eugeneis gynaikes (married women) and mothers participating in the celebrations), it is assumed that, during the festival, craters were used for pouring hydromeli, an ancient traditional drink made of water and honey, and carrying an intoxicating power
Poetics and 'kultura': A study of contemporary Slovene and Croat puppetry
No full textBy placing both their professional and amateur theaters in the context of the broader cultural arena, this study investigates the scope and significance of contemporary Slovene and Croat puppetry. It examines the intersection of a once marginal art with both official cultural policy and parallel social movement. At the core of my analysis is the belief that Slovene and Croat puppetry serves a dual role: as cultural communicator and social commentator. Through textual analysis, interviews, and observation of performance and festival activity, I focused on the central aesthetic, social, structural, and ritual properties which inform Yugoslav puppet theater. I propose that these properties cut across the continuum of Slovene and Croat societies, and that, far from existing in a vacuum, puppetry has become an integral part of contemporary culture. Slovene and Croat puppetry function on numerous levels at once: they reflect basic cultural ideals and values, they serve as ethnic markers, they manifest state policy, and they provide a vehicle for artistic innovation and social action. Finally, because of the meaning of its symbolism and its own use as a cultural symbol, puppetry provides insight into the fundamental dynamics of cultural tradition and change.Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 52-03, Section: A, page: 9800.Advisors: Ruth Landman.Ph.D. American University 1991.Englis

Lors de sa publication en 1847, le roman eut un impact immédiat sur l’Angleterre victorienne, d’une part parce qu’il racontait l’histoire paradigmatique d’une héroïne de romance et d’autre part parce qu’il se faisait l’interprète des désirs des femmes de l’époque. Depuis, le grenier de Thornfield Hall où le maître de maison cache Bertha Mason, est devenu la métaphore d’un lieu féminin de l’emprisonnement en même temps que celle de la rébellion contre les règles patriarcales. Trente ans environ après la parution de Jane Eyre, une autre femme a publié un roman évoquant l’atmosphère obsédante de Thornfield Hall, à savoir l’écrivaine allemande, Eugenie Marlitt, auteur de Die zweite Frau (The Second Wife, 1874). Marlitt semble se réapproprier, tout en le réécrivant, le personnage de Bertha dans le contexte de la fiction domestique allemande. Les deux romans explorent en effet la thématique de la femme emprisonnée et marginalisée sur le plan social en termes d’ethnicité afin de montrer comment les rôles féminins et masculins sont inéluctablement liés aux relations de pouvoir. Dans Jane Eyre et Die zweite Frau, le motif de la maison est un élément central qui favorise la compréhension des personnages féminins, mais qui souligne surtout le mystère qui émane des maisons des deux romans, représentées par deux femmes, la Créole Bertha et l’Indienne Lotusblume, ce qui, au cœur de l’articulation de l’idée maîtresse des deux récits, révèle la construction à plusieurs facettes de la féminité
