La discipline scolaire Français a comme spécificité à la fois de faire pratiquer la langue en situations de lecture et de production orale et écrite et de la prendre comme objet d'observation et d’étude dans ses diverses dimensions : grammaire, orthographe, lexique, morphologie verbale, etc. Depuis une cinquantaine d’années, les directives générales des différents pays de la francophonie affirment que, outre la construction d’une représentation de la langue comme système, l’enseignement de la langue est (ou devrait être) au service de la lecture et de l’écriture. Mais comment se réalise cette double finalité ? Comment penser et concrétiser les articulations que cel...
Nonnus of Panopolis in Upper-Egypt is the author of the 48 books of the last large scale mythological epic in antiquity, the Dionysiaca. The same author also wrote an epic poem on the life and times of Jesus Christ according to St John’s Gospel. Nonnus has an outstanding position in ancient literature being at the same time a pagan and a Christian author, living in a time when Christianity was common in the Roman empire, while pagan culture and traditional world views were still maintained. The volume is designed to cover literary, cultural and religious aspects of Nonnus’ poetry as well as to highlight the social and educational background of both the Dionysiaca and the Paraphrasis of the Gospel of St. John.
The last full commentary on The Sack of Troy was published by Wernicke in 1819 and even the most recent analyses of the poem tend to see it as a quick halt in the evolution of epic poetry on its way towards Nonnus of Panopolis. This book offers a complete treatment of The Sack of Troy for its own sake. The introduction gathers all the information we have about Triphiodorus and his work, focusing on the reasons behind the election of topic, the outline of the poem, different forms of allusion, the use of the characterisation of individuals and groups to sustain plot development, the nature of the narrator and the value of speeches. This part is followed by a detailed analysis of Triphiodorus�...
Nonnus of Panopolis (fifth century CE) composed two poems once thought to be incompatible: the Dionysiaca, a mythological long epic with a marked interest in astrology, the occult, the paradox and not least the beauty of the female body, and a pious and sublime Paraphrase of the Gospel of St John. Little is known about the man, to whom sundry identities have been attached. The longer work has been misrepresented as a degenerate poem or as a mythological handbook. The Christian poem has been neglected or undervalued. Yet, Nonnus accomplished an ambitious plan, in two parts, aiming at representing world-history. This volume consists mainly of the Proceedings of the First International Conferen...
La reformulation est essentielle à l'acte pédagogique, aussi bien dans l’élaboration du savoir à enseigner que dans la préparation de ses cours par l’enseignant, dans le discours de l’élève ou dans les interactions au sein de la classe... La reformulation, qu’elle soit orale ou écrite, qu’elle concerne un énoncé écrit ou oral, est une nécessité pour faire vivre au sein d’une classe, dans un contexte constamment renouvelé, les savoirs et les discours. Cette livraison de Recherches veut interroger les différentes formes de reformulation que la classe de français fait vivre : il s’agit, en somme, de décliner la reformulation et d’en montrer toutes les facettes. Dans les activités proposées dans ce numéro, la reformulation est un moyen d’entrer dans les textes et dans les activités de la classe.
Dosso Dossi has long been considered one of Renaissance Italy's most intriguing artists. Although a wealth of documents chronicles his life, he remains, in many ways, an enigma, and his art continues to be as elusive as it is compelling. In Dosso's Fate, leading scholars from a wide range of disciplines examine the social, intellectual, and historical contexts of his art, focusing on the development of new genres of painting, questions of style and chronology, the influence of courtly culture, and the work of his collaborators, as well as his visual and literary sources and his painting technique. The result is an important and original contribution not only to literature on Dosso Dossi but also to the study of cultural history in early modern Italy.
Nonnus of Panopolis (5th c. AD), the most important Greek poet of Late Antiquity, is best known for his Dionysiaca, a grand epic that gathers together all myths associated with Dionysus, god of wine and mysteries. The poet also authored the Paraphrase of St. John’s Gospel which renders the Fourth Gospel into sophisticated hexameter verse. This volume, edited by Filip Doroszewski and Katarzyna Jażdżewska, brings together twenty-six essays by eminent scholars that discuss Nonnus’ cultural and literary background, the literary techniques and motifs used by the poet, as well as the composition of the Dionysiaca and the exegetical principles applied in the Paraphrase. As such, the book will significantly deepen our understanding of literary culture and religion in Late Antiquity.
