دانلود کتاب A study of gelozia ‘jealousy’ in medieval Provencal literature [thesis]

In this study, I establish parallels between the doctrine of fin'amors and the tripartite kinship and social structures in medieval southern France. Using René Girard's concept of triadic desire, in conjunction with Claude Lévi-Strauss' structure of mythological thought, I show that the medieval poet/lover's concept of love is mediated.

In the first chapter, I discuss the parallels to be made between older and more prestigious lords in society and gilos figures in literature, and demonstrate how the poet/lover's desire is modeled on the possessiveness of his elders regards to women.

Chapter II treats the narrative works in which the theme of jealousy is focal: the plight of the gilos reveals a relationship between the transmission of literature and information and the role of women in medieval society.

In Chapter III, I introduce the poetry analysis section and propose that gelozia is essentially intrinsic to the fundamental premises of fin'amors.

Chapter IV focuses on jealous husbands, fathers, and guardian figures, in the lyric poetry. Parallels are drawn between sexual closure (hiding or cloistering women, daughters, wives, etc.), and linguistic closure (the art of trobar), One expression of the poet/lover's imitative desire is the hatred he feels for his model, the gilos; another, his uxorious devotion; yet another, his revulsion for garadors.

In Chapter V, I discuss the roles and functions of rivals and other obstacles within the construct of fin'amors.

In Chapter VI, jealous poet/lovers are the subject: further examples support the thesis that fin'amors and gelozia are closely related. The poet/lover's desire to hide his desire— his lady, his love, her name, their affair, his true meaning or message— is copied, though embellished enough not to appear to be so.

Chapter VII concludes with brief mention of some psychological and anthropological literature dealing with jealousy.
