From Epic to Romance: the Paralysis of the Hero in the Prise D'orange
Minnette Grunmann-Gaudet From Epic to Romance: The Paralysis of the Hero in the Prise d'Orange N HIS Essai de poétique médiévale, Paul Zumthor attempts to establish a basic structural model for the Old French epic, (Schema I I).1 He bases his schema upon a typological classification of the principal characters of the chanson de geste proposed by Pasqualino in 1970. On the primary horizontal axis we find an opposition between good and bad characters, or in socio-religious terms, between Christians and pagans. This axis is broken by secondary diagonal axes which gauge whether individuals change, becoming good by repentance or conversion to Christianity, or bad by political treason or renouncements of the Christian faith. This model clearly illustrates the moral polarities inherent in works such as the Oxford Roland and the Chanson de Guillaume, but does not account for a great number of gestes in which the conflict is between lord and vassal, uncle and nephew, husband and wife, or even two friends. Schema I 'Paul Zumthor, Essai de poétique médiévale (Paris: Éditions du Seuil, 1972),p. 326. 22 Grunmann-Gaudet / Paralysis in the Prise d'Orange 23 In a more recent endeavor to define the structure of the Old French epic, P. Van Nuffel develops a similar but more elaborate schema, based upon the Greimasian model for determining deep structures (Schema II).2 Schéma II defense of Christianity defense of Muhammedanism betrayal of Muhammedanism betrayal of Christianity Here the horizontal axes represent the axes of contraries (defense of Christianity vs. defense of Muhammedanism; betrayal of Muhammed- anism vs.

Diverse peoples acquired economic and political hegemony, they imposed laws, customs and artistic models which merged with pre-existing backgrounds and styles which then expanded throughout Northern European and African countries. Ideas from the East, such as science, religion and artistic models, ﬁl- tered throughout the Mediterranean. Nomadic populations reached Mediterranean shores and so cultures and customs were brought to- gether for several centuries in a relatively small circle. It was on the edges of the Mediterranean where the two fundamental ideas of gar- den design, the formal and the informal, were created and confronted each other. Here, the garden became the idealization of a perfect and immutable world, the mimesis of nature.

MEDIA INFORMATION 2019 Schloss Hof Estate Idyllic Summer
MEDIA INFORMATION 2019 Schloss Hof Estate Idyllic summer palace and hunting domicile of Prince Eugene and the Viennese Court in Marchfeld. Only about an hour’s drive from Vienna and stretching across more than 70 hectares of the eastern Marchfeld we find the Baroque synthesis of the arts that is Schloss Hof Estate. The former imperial rural seat was one of the most magnificent palaces in the Habsburg Empire. Built in 1725 for the legendary military commander Prince Eugene of Savoy, it was extended and remodelled under Maria Theresa into the largest rural palace and estate in Austria. A stately, aristocratic residence, an artistically conceived terraced garden and a tranquil estate farm comprise an ensemble today that uniquely combines imperial splendour and pastoral idyll. The Palace In 1725, Prince Eugene of Savoy purchased a four-wing castle dating from the seventeenth century and had it extended by two more wings. Maria Theresa acquired the rural seat thirty years later, in 1755. Between 1773 and 1775 she had the palace raised by one storey and the rooms on the first floor remodelled. These rooms on the bel étage with their historical accoutrements were designed to display the owners’ exquisite taste, wealth and status and are open to visitors for viewing. The tour starts in the north wing with Prince Eugene’s former residential apartment, which was remodelled for Emperor Joseph II. The rooms in the east wing look over the resplendent gardens and are devoted to a detailed view of life and career of Prince Eugene of Savoy, famed both as a military commander and also as an art lover and connoisseur.

At the same time, infrastructure construction has allowed the public to use this space rationally, without endangering the park's precious natural and landscape resources. The site, managed by the Collserola park Consortium, is a diversified spectrum of natural Mediterranean environments, where forest areas predominate. There are also a few agricultural areas. The park's highest point is on the Tibidabo mountain (512 m). It has a typically Mediterranean climate.
