Rehabilitating the Witch: the Literary Representation of the Witch
RICE UNIVERSITY Rehabilitating the Witch: The Literary Representation of the Witch from the Malleus Maleficarum to Les Enfants du sabbat by Lisa Travis Blomquist A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DEGREE Doctor of Philosophy APPROVED, THESIS COMMITTEE Dr. Bernard Aresu Dr. Elias Bongmba, Professor ofRe · ious Studies Holder of the Harry and Hazel Chavanne Chair in Christian Theology HOUSTON, TX DECEMBER 2011 ABSTRACT Rehabilitating the Witch: The Literary Representation of the Witch from the Malleus Maleficarum to Les Enfants du sabbat by Lisa Travis Blomquist The representation of the witch in French literature has evolved considerably over the centuries. While originally portrayed as a benevolent and caring healer in works by Marie de France, Chretien de Troyes, and the anonymous author of Amadas et Ydoine, the witch eventually underwent a dramatic and unfortunate transformation. By the fifteenth century, authors began to portray her as a malevolent and dangerous agent of the Christian Devil. Martin Le Franc, Pierre de Ronsard, Joachim du Bellay, Fran9ois Rabelais, and Pierre Comeille all created evil witch figures that corresponded with this new definition. It was not until the eighteenth century, through the works of Voltaire and the Encyclopedistes, that the rehabilitation of the witch began. By the twentieth century, Anne Hebert, Jean-Paul Sartre, Maryse Conde, and Sebastiano Vassalli began to rewrite the witch character by engaging in a process of demystification and by demonstrating that the "witch" was really just a victim of the society in which she lived. These authors humanized their witch figures by concentrating on the victimization of their witch protagonists and by exposing the ways in which their fictional societies unjustly created identities for their witch protagonists that were based on false judgments and rumors. -

A Historical Sociology Approach to Iranian Nationalism (1921-1979): an Ir Perspective
A HISTORICAL SOCIOLOGY APPROACH TO IRANIAN NATIONALISM (1921-1979): AN IR PERSPECTIVE A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES OF MIDDLE EAST TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY BY ZELAL ÖZDEMİR IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE PROGRAMME OF AREA STUDIES JUNE 2016 I hereby declare that all information in this document has been obtained and presented in accordance with academic rules and ethical conduct. I also declare that, as required by these rules and conduct, I have fully cited and referenced all material and results that are not original to this work. Name, Last name: Zelal Özdemir Signature : iii ABSTRACT A HISTORICAL SOCIOLOGY APPROACH TO IRANIAN NATIONALISM (1921-1979): AN IR PERSPECTIVE Özdemir, Zelal PhD, Programme of Area Studies Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayça Ergun Özbolat Co-Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Meliha Altunışık June 2016, 232 pages This thesis explores the discourse of Iranian nationalism constructed by the Iranian state between 1921 and 1979. This study unravels the international connections of Iranian nationalism following a framework that sits at the intersection of Historical Sociology, Historical Sociology in International Relations and modernist approaches to nationalism. It argues that the creation and development of the definition of Iranian nationalism is interconnected with the modern state which is itself bound up with the international. In order to understand the nature of the meaning attached to being Iranian/Iranianness/Iraniyat on the part of the state we should look into the specifics of international-domestic interaction, historicise that process and search for multiple causes rather than one single cause. -
