Les Odes I, 36 et I, 25 d’Horace : des « poèmes modèles »
Authors: Glinatsis Robin
Published: May 2023

Horace’s Odes I, 36 and I, 25 characterize themselves as exemplary ones. Indeed, each of them discloses a precise pattern with a striking completeness. The Ode I, 36 gathers the main features traditionally linked to the banquet scene and deals with its topic in an enunciative distance, turning this poem into a real art of poetry within the Horatian lyrical corpus. As far as the Ode I, 25 is concerned, it brings together the characteristics of the παρακλαυσι ´ θυρον motif while keeping a certain referential indetermination, as if Horace had wanted to offer a classic example away from any clear situation of communication. The study of these two poems demonstrates that Horace is eager to express poetical theory both through explicit developments and writing itself.
Le bon roi selon Virgile
Authors: Loupiac Annie
Published: May 2023

Since the fall of the Tarquins, the Romans had been opposed to monarchy ; how then could they accept its return in the shape of the Augustean regime ? At the end of the 1st c. B. C., both the thinkings of Philodemos of Gadara in «Of the Good King according to Homer » and of Cicero in DeRepublica describe the ideal monarch as one who, for his fair justice and virtues, is a bulwark against civil war. Virgil in his turn considers this ideal in order to offer in the Aeneid a classification of kings ¢ the priest-kings, the founder-kings, the war-kings ¢ Aeneas himself being the combination of them three : the Pius Aeneas thus appears as a model offered to Augustus, meanwhile the poet, through a subtle use of composition, discreetly distances himself from a regime whose reality differs from the myths it claims to embody.
Penser et construire un nouvel apprentissage de la lecture en langues anciennes
Authors: Jottreau-Augé Dominique
Published: May 2023

My research is born from the necessity to define a strategy for the teaching of ancient languages so that learners may be induced to read ancient literature. The grounds of this theory rest upon the contribution brought by the teaching of other disciplines with a view to setting up a theory of learning. Our approach is not so much to apply to the field of ancient languages a pattern borrowed from the teaching of other subjects but to ponder over the specificity of this discipline in order to draw a number of principles and to determine specific teaching skills which include a wide range of modern technologies and which are sufficiently consistent and efficient to enable learners to feel at home with a culture through the learning of a language.
Le motif élégiaque de l’ira : une écriture progressive du passionnel dans le politique (II)
Authors: Delbey Évrard
Published: May 2023

Anger is a motif which Latin Elegy takes back in Homeric Epic and rewrites. This motif is not exclusively psychological. Catullus registers the pathetic anger of Ariadne in the political time which begins when the Golden Age comes to an end. Ovid distingues himself from Tibullus and Propertius by representing passionate angers and the anger of the Princeps. So the question of the exercise of power, important in the Metamorphoses, cannot be dissociate from the one of the double presence of passionate and political anger, in the Ovidian elegies : is it legitimate to exercise power by being dominated by passion ?
Redit memoria... (v. 768) : l’intériorisation du conflit tragique dans Oedipus de Sénèque
Authors: Aygon Jean-Pierre
Published: May 2023

Unlike Sophocles’ portrayal of oedipean tragedy which lays claim to flawless construction, Seneca’s Oedipus is often both misunderstood and the object of negative critique. However, if properly considered, the didactic coherence of Seneca’s tragedy clearly elucidates the quintessential elements that are played out in the dramatic advance of Oedipus’ mercurial states of mind and emotions, i. e. his obsessional fears, blindness, self-contradictions, duplicities etc. Therefore Seneca’s Oedipus is entirely consistent with the Stoic conception of passion, fate and responsibility.
Le personnage d’Oedipe (Oedipe, Sénèque) à la lumière de son modèle grec (Oedipe Roi, Sophocle)
Authors: Paré-Rey Pascale
Published: May 2023

This paper wants to understand how much the Latin Oedipus is original in respect of the sophoclean tragic hero. We look the place and the function of his noun, and the way by which he is designed, then his physic features which make him so exceptional. We are aware of how Latin tragedy is focused on the character’s inner conflict, of which passions are a powerful dramatic motor. These principal psychological features, that is fear and guilt, but also a great determination to understand the origin of his problems, draw the distinction of this protagonist right away overwhelmed by misfortune.
La justice et les procès dans les livres I et II des Annales de Tacite
Authors: Ducos Michèle
Published: May 2023

In the first two books of his Annals, Tacitus describes several trials : prosecution for extorsion, adultery and mostly maiestas. He records charges and sentences, but he is mainly interested in defendants, delators and in Tiberius’s behaviour. Trials are thus a part of his political thought on liberty, justice and principate.
L’influence de la disputatio in utramque partem sur la correspondance de Cicéron
Authors: Aubert-Baillot Sophie
Published: May 2023

The use of antilogy, in its different forms, in Cicero’s correspondence reveals that the author ascribed to this dialectical device a Socratic origin before he distinguished in his philosophical works, thus following Antiochus of Ascalon, an Aristotelian disputatio in utramque partem from a Socratic practice of contra omnia disserere. It also underlines the double origin, both Platonic and Aristotelian, of the word problêma, which is frequently linked to dialectical reasonings such as dilemmas or arguments on both sides.
Les lettres de l’exil dans la correspondance de Cicéron : une thérapie de la douleur ?
Authors: Léovant-Ciréfice Véronique
Published: May 2023

Cicero’s epistolary relationship with Atticus during the exile gave him the means if not to relieve his pain, at least to transformit. By demanding information and reasons to hope from Atticus, by paying tribute to the ueritas of his letters and by treating him as an alter ego, Cicero generated and forced an epistolary tension upon his correspondent, so as to elicit those letters of paramount importance from him, thus creating his own consolation. Though wished for by the exile, those consolations are rejected as soon as they are received. But that very rejection has its purpose, as it brings the consular back onto the tracks of reflection and analysis, diverting him away from pathos. The epistolary relationship kept up with Atticus therefore plays a determining role for the selfpreservation of the exile and the way pain is dealt with.
La leçon d’Atella et quelques regards récents sur les beautés des Géorgiques
Authors: Heuzé Philippe
Published: May 2023

Scholars keep surveying the Georgica to look for possible sources, and orientations of their author’s thought. But, in broad outline, we must never forget that they are, above all, a major work of western Literature. They had the power to marvel their listeners (as we can imagine it was the case in Atella for the first reading). And, two thousand years later, they still have the power to deeply inspire writers and poets.
«... of Cloth-habits and of Soul-habits » : la démonologie et les cinaedi dans les Métamorphoses d’Apulée
Authors: Paul Britt-Sarah
Published: May 2023

Lucius, the protagonist of Apuleius’ novel, the Metamorphoses, after being transformed into a donkey, later finds himself sold into the service of wandering priests of the dea Syria, who are, in actual fact, cinaedi dissimulating their true colours under the guise of religious piety. In spite of the episode’s prototype being found in the pseudo-Lucianic Onos, and the place of the cinaedi in the satiric literary tradition, the passage lends itself easily to a philosophical interpretation based on an aesthetic founded on the principles of an eclectic demonology espoused in Apuleius’ more overtly philosophical treatises, particularly the De Deo Socratis (DDS). The multi-coloured ritual dress of the cinaedi discloses the demonological interpretation of these men as hedonists, a type occurring in the Platonist tradition towhichApuleius belongs, and developed in the novel. Plato’s own works are often the source for Apuleius’ use of the multi-coloured dress. Apuleius’ other works, especially the DPD (De Platone et eius Dogmate) and the Florida, are testimony to the literary entrenchment and elaboration of philosophical ideas inApuleius’ novel, as are passages from other authors writing in the same period and

Cynthia’s ghost in Propertius’ IV, 7 : a re-examination
Authors: Savva Emilia
Published: May 2023

The article discusses the appearance of Cynthia’s ghost in Prop. IV, 7. A comparative approach of literary along with epigraphic evidence regarding Manes enables us to conclude that Propertius’ representation of Cynthia’s ghost only seemingly passes the test of identification with the conventional image of Manes. It has passed unobserved by critics that she intentionally lacks the Manes’ defining characteristic : during her visitation to the poet she doesn’t appear like she was at the particular moment of her death, i. e. when she drank the hemlock. The present study aims at showing that Cynthia’s image is mixed ;
Les guerriers de Jugurtha dans le Bellum Iugurthinum
Authors: Ait amara Ouiza
Published: May 2023

Jugurtha led real wars, at first against his cousins who wanted to usurp the throne, and then, against the Romans, an even more formidable opponent. He had to enroll many warriors, equip and train them. Military exercises and combat training were one of the Numidian traditions. Jugurtha’s warlike qualities, together with his other merits, contributed to his success. But without the bravery and the competences of his fellow warriors, none of his victories would have been possible. His army was made up of fellow countrymen and foreigners. The hierarchy was well established and structured. The fighting units were divided into two categories : one permanent contingent, the Royal guards, and another contingent made up of soldiers recruited for the needs of war and who were then discharged at the end of the conflict. The warriors were divided between infantry and cavalry regiments. Their weapons were mainly shield and spears.

Secondly, after a brief presentation of the basic manuscripts and the stemma codicum, the texts and critical apparatuses of F. Préchac (CUF) and L. D. Reynolds (OCT) are examined in parallel. Finally, a list of the most controversial passages of books I-II provides an opportunity for an update with the more recent philological bibliography.
Symmaque dans le Contra Symmachum de Prudence : enjeux et significations d’une mise à mort littéraire
Authors: Herbert de la Portbarré Gaëlle
Published: May 2023

In his Contra Symmachum, probably written in 404, Prudentius, a poet of triumphant Christianism, attacks an emblematic figure of Paganism, senator Symmachus,

famous for his skills as an orator. In the famous Relatio 3 written in 384 and addressed to Emperor Valentinian the 3rd, Symmachus protested against the withdrawal of the Victory’s altar from the Roman curia and the end of some privileges of the Pagan clergy, and especially the Vestals. The aim of this paper is to show that the literary «killing » of orator Symmachus and his speech is at the centre of the poem’s meaning. Prudentius obviously manipulates the figure of Symmachus, probably recently dead, to promote a radical Christianization of the Roman civilization in front of young emperor Honorius and his regent Stilicho. This view is very far from the one given a few months before by Claudian, the culturally Pagan poet of the court of Milan in his De bello Getico.

Ille ego sum lignum qui non admittar in ullum (Ov. Pont. I, 2, 33) ou l’écriture poétique à l’épreuve de l’exil
Authors: Tola Eleonora
Published: May 2023

In his exilic poems Ovid shapes a crisis of his poetic identity by reifying his literary practice with some autobiographical concerns. The poet of metamorphosis metrically associated the narration of his exile to his epistolary and erotic corpus. Tristia and Ex Ponto’s intratextual connections can be read as an invitation to reaffirmthe literary value of Ovid’s writing. From a stylistic approach, I show the crucial role of Ex Ponto in the study of Ovid’s dynamic of self-reception. This last collection simultaneously achieves the poet’s exilic works and his production as a whole.
La Conjuration de Catilina : une réflexion sur la crise de la République romaine
Authors: Salamon Gérard
Published: May 2023

The paper aims to show that the subject of Sallust’s first monograph is not so much Catilina’s conjuration as the crisis of the Roman Republic, for which the conspiracy stands as an illustration. Indeed, nothing is settled nor solved by Catilina’s failure. Actually, Sallust attributes this crisis to the weakening of political uirtus amongst Roman leaders, which he defines as the ability to make the interests of the city prevail over one’s own. In the past, the city was strong enough to compensate for the shortcomings of those who governed it ; but at a time when the institutions themselves are collapsing, the risk is great for Rome to lose its supremacy. Distancing himself from any political discourse,

Sallust calls his contemporaries to save Rome.

Islamic Banking System: Need, Dimensions and Function
Authors: Basheer Dr. Aariefa
Published: May 2023

The Islamic Banks can do the business without being involved in the forward swaps of the exchange dealings. When we move to borrowing and lending activities, the matters become different. Any extra repayment rather than the original principle in any lending-borrowing relation is considered to be usury. Usury in Islam isconsidered to be one of the big sins. In Islam, there is no difference between usury as an excessive interest or the so-called legal interest itself. Therefore depositors who in fact are a lender to the bank cannot be allowed to take interest in the Islamic measures; but he can be an investor. The percentage of profit must not be offered the same conditions applied to other investors by receiving a portion of the profit that comes out of the pool of the investment portfolio managed by the bank. The relation with the user of funds is not a borrowing-lending relation; but it has a different type of contractual arrangement. Therefore this paper examines the structure, function and dimensions of an Interest free Islamic bank.

The Use of Music Elements in the Lessons by Teachers of Students with Mental Disabilities and Their Music-Based Competencies
Authors: Sağırkaya Burak
Published: May 2023

The field of special education for people with mental disabilities is a discipline that is constantly evolving and changing as well as being inclusive. Teachers working in this field are guiding the way as long as they improve their professional qualifications. Even if special education processes are under state guarantee, it is always a lifelong process that brings a financial obligation for families. Therefore, the field teachers should be a complementary element for the student in many areas such as development, change, education and rehabilitation. Music elements also find a prominent place among these complementary elements. However, the field teacher can only support this process on the basis of music to the extent that he/she realizes his/her own music-based competence professionally. In this direction, it was aimed to determine the music-based competencies of field teachers and their utilization of music elements in their lessons and the data were collected for this purpose. Because music is present in all areas of special education. However, it is not possible to employ a music professional for every special education institution. Therefore, the field teacher is expected to handle the process within the framework of inclusiveness. Within the framework of this idea, the study was conducted with 10 volunteer teachers who were reached during the 2021-2022 academic year. In order to obtain the data, 26 three-point Likert-type instructions were prepared and online interviews were conducted with each participant teacher. This study is a case study. The data were described on the axis of interpretive paradigm and categorized in the findings section. The validity and reliability of the instructions were ensured in line with the opinions of special education experts. As a result, it was found that the field teachers who participated in the study have music-based competence and consciously utilize music elements in their lessons. However, it was also seen that field teachers need music-based professional development. Therefore, it is an evident that they need professional development trainings on how to use music elements more effectively for non-musical purposes. It is essential to conduct this study with a group of more participants. Nevertheless, it is believed that the findings obtained have a quality that will pave the way for new researchers.
Using Shadowing Technique to Measure B1 Level Learners’ Attitudes towards their Speaking Skills
Authors: Burak Ev Mehmet , Sarıçoban Arif
Published: May 2023

Speaking has been stated as being one of the most challenging skills by EFL learners in Turkey. A combination of psychological factors such as anxiety or fear of being criticized and linguistic incompetence has led to this problem. Although initially emerged as a tool to assist learners in listening skills, shadowing technique has also proven to be useful in improving learners’ speaking skills as well. The aim of the present study was to see if shadowing technique was efficient enough to help B1 level EFL learners develop positive attitudes towards their speaking skills. Furthermore, the study set out to see if learners get rid of their speaking anxiety and could take active part in communicative activities in the future classes. For this ultimate purpose, a Likert scale consisting of seven questions and interview questions were used. After taking the required permission from the ethics committee, the study was conducted for four weeks, in which participants listened to and repeated the tracks from the podcasts chosen in accordance with their language levels. 31 participants took part in the study. The participants were asked to carefully watch the recordings by paying attention to the pronunciation, stress and intonation. The results from the study were analysed through content analysis and a descriptive research design was used. According to the results, it was observed that the majority of the participants developed positive attitudes towards speaking skills and felt more willing to express themselves in communicative activities. Further studies with more participants are recommended to see if shadowing technique is also applicable in different contexts and groups.

Impact of Racism in Ralph Waldo Ellison’s novel Invisible Man
Authors: Roopinika S , Srija D
Published: May 2023

Invisible Man is a novel by Ralph Ellison published by Random House in 1952. Ellison was an American writer best known for his novel Invisible man which won the ‘National Book Award’ in 1953. This novel is a milestone in American literature which deeply discusses the social problem of racism in America. This novel is a Bildungs roman novel where the narrator (main character) begins as a bright high school student, is intelligent, and matures into a man who understands the nature of the world in the later part of his life. It is also considered to be a Universal novel as it is based on a quest to know oneself. This paper focuses on how racism impacts the narrator’s identity and his struggle to find himself in society among whites. Racism does not affect the narrator in particular but also the whole society in general at both physical and psychological levels. Existentialism is also implied in this novel as the narrator struggles to find his identity. Racism evolved in America not only after the immigration of Blacks but also after the slave era and colonial era. Black people were brought to the USA for slavery. Slave trade had happened and they suffered a lot from hunger, disease, etc. In 1865, after the civil war, Black slavery was abolished in the USA, but its legacy is going on still.
Amitav Ghosh’s The Glass Palace and Orhan Pamuk’s My Name is Red: A Comparison
Authors: Keerthi Rajalakshmi V , Sankar K
Published: May 2023

The paper aims to form a comprehensive and in-depth study of the theme of multiculturalism as portrayed within the selected novels of Orhan Pamuk and Amitav Ghosh. The reputed Indian novelist Amitav Ghosh has carved a distinct segment for himself within the world of fiction even as Orhan Pamuk who writes exquisite novels won the Nobel award. Pamuk’s work often touches on the deep rooted tensions of spiritual conflict between East and West, tradition and modernism or secularism. Loss of identity occurs in an alien land within the novel owing to the colonial impact within the postcolonial context. These are the ideas that involve relationship between individuals belonging to the identical or to different communities that sometimes transgress and transcend the shadow lines of political borders. Depicting meticulously the lives of Indian diaspora in Burma, this novel has taken a lot of time for Ghosh, travelling between the boundaries of south Asian countries as to incorporate the events of this novel. Ghosh tells the story of colonizer-colonized relationship through the temporal and spatial journeys of his characters. Pamuk and Ghosh talkabout the national identity, oppression, diaspora, exile and a host of such factors which influence the construction of a nation. Both as novelists deals with culture, nationality, tradition, the conflict between the east and the west, communication, defending individual’s rights of expression and belief and arguing against religious and nationalism.
Genealogy and Cultural Versatility in Amit Chaudhuri’s A New World
Authors: Aruna G , Punitha Jothi E.D
Published: May 2023

The paper attempts to critically analyse the representation of cultural versatility about tradition, rituals, family, class and identities through the lens of Amit Chaudhuri’s novel A New World. By shedding light on culturally significant locations like Kolkata’s streets and markets as well as cultural components like cuisine and music in Bengali society, he hopes to study and re-examine the city’s past while portraying its present. The Indian immigrant Jayojit Chatterjee and his son Bonny’s hybridised sense of identity, dislocation, and alienation would be further discussed in Genealogy and Cultural Versatility. A New World does not substantively explore the struggle to conquer life in his new world. Instead, the novel is a celebration of the old world Jayojit has left behind.
Early Settlements of the Europeans and Establishment of English Domination in Madras Presidency

The fall of the Vijayanagar kingdom was reverberated the whole of South India in a state of political chaos and consequent economic distress. From 1757 the British had used their control over South India to promote their own interests. But it would be wrong to think that the basic character of their rule remained the same throughout. It passed through several stages in its long history of nearly 200 years. The nature of British rule and imperialism, as also it policies and impact, changed with changing pattern of Britain’s own social, economic and political development. To begin with ever before 1757, the English East India Company was interested only in making money. It wanted a monopoly of the trade with India and the East,so that there would be no other English or European merchants or trading companies to compete with it. The Company also did not want the Indian merchants to compete with it for the purchase in India or sale abroad of Indian products.
Spectroscopic Investigations, Computational Studies and Molecular Properties of Naphthalene Derivatives

Published: May 2023

Theoretical studies have been carried out on bio active molecules such as Naphthalene (npa) and its derivatives naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid (nsa) and 1-nitroso-2-naphthol (nnol) using both Ab initio HF and DFT-B3LYP methods with 6-311++G(d,2p) basis sets. The geometrical parameters, molecular properties and vibrational spectra of nsa, nnol and npa were calculated and analyzed. Geometrical optimizations of the nsa, nnol and npa molecules were done by Density Functional Theory (DFT) using the B3LYP function and Hartree-Fock (HF) level with 6-311++G(d,2p) basis set. The optimized molecular geometry and computed vibrational spectra are compared with experimental results which show significant agreement. DFT and HF global chemical reactivity descriptors (chemical hardness, total energy, electronic chemical otential and electrophilicity) are calculated for the title molecules and used to predict their relative stability and reactivity.
An Economic Study of Migrant Labourers

Published: May 2023

Due to globalization and the opening up of the international borders for economic activities, the movement of the people from one place to another had become more frequent and rapid. Internally, urbanization, industrialization and better transportation facilities had become more frequent and rapid. Internally, urbanization, industrialization and better transportation facilities had provided a greater momentum to the migration of people from the rural to the urban areas. The causes for migration varied from place to place. Both in-migration and also out-migration bring about vast changes in an economy in its socio-economic and demographic aspects. The findings of such micro studies and the primary data collected are of much importance for framing policies and programmed for planning and development. Hence this study had been undertaken. This study has shown that all the respondents were undecided on the economic problems of migration. The study is different and unique in that it did not show the factors affecting migration and its effects like several previous studies but also revealed the perception of the non migration on benefits and problems of migration. The study has demonstrated that perception of non migrants on benefits to begained and problem to be faced from migration is influenced mainly by the marital circumstances and length of residence of the non migration. Therefore, any measures seeking to influence the process of migration should meet the people’s perception of benefits of migration.
