From the Depths of Despair to the Promise of Presence: A Rhetorical Reading of the Book of JoelBarker, Joel January 2011 (has links)
This dissertation examines Joel through the lens of rhetorical criticism and seeks to demonstrate that Joel is a unified work of prophetic literature that moves from scenes of devastation to promises of restoration through its persuasive evocation of divine and human responses in order to articulate the necessity of calling and relying upon YHWH in all circumstances. This study orients itself in the broader context ofJoel studies before examining rhetorical critical methodologies. This study discusses the model of George A. Kennedy and Karl Moller and proposes modifications so that it will better engage with the rhetoric of Joel. This dissertation then seeks to apply Kennedy's and Moller's model in a detailed study of Joel. The body of this study considers different text units within Joel, discussing how the text constructs the rhetorical situations into which it places its persuasive strategies. This dissertation then considers the potential effectiveness of these strategies in their situations. It traces how Joel uses a series of crises in order to persuade the text's implied audience that its only hope is found in crying out to YHWH amidst desperate circumstances. This leads to the consideration ofthe gap between Joel 2:17, 18, where the tenor of the text changes from devastation to restoration secured by the powerful actions ofYHWH. This study notes how the latter half ofJoel evokes restorative responses from YHWH culminating in the promise ofYHWH's protective presence in Zion, which should further persuade the implied audience that it ought to heed the text's appeal to cry out to YHWH.
This dissertation concludes with a summary ofthe persuasive elements ofthe individual rhetorical units within Joel, while also considering the rhetorical trajectory of Joel as a literary whole. It then offers suggestions for further rhetorical study of prophetic literature. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

A Quest for Coherence: A Study of Internal Quotations in the Book of JobHo, Edward January 2012 (has links)
The book of Job is well-known for its internal tensions. The major challenge of interpreting this work is to provide a coherent reading of the whole narrative while giving the conflicting elements their due. The purpose of this dissertation is thus twofold. First, this study seeks to defend the intrinsic cohesiveness of the book of Job. Second, it attempts to demonstrate that a reading guided by these internal verbal and thematic connections is able to produce a coherent meaning of this literary masterpiece.
This dissertation offers a section-by-section reading of the book of Job. In each section, I conduct a two-phase analysis. In the first phase, I identify the literary connections between the passage under study and those which come before it, and reflect on the way the antecedent texts are being reused. In the second phase, I discern the impact that the insights from the first phase of analysis make upon the reading process of the passage under study and examine how the resulting interpretation contributes to the development of the story up to that point.
In order to facilitate the discussion, I borrow some insights from literary critic James Phelan, who views narrative as rhetoric. Phelan argues that the author of a narrative cultivates the interests of the reader by means of two types of unstable relations. The first, called instabilities, are those occurring within the story, conflicts between characters, created by situations, and complicated and resolved through actions. The second, called tensions, are conflicts ofvalue, belief, opinion, knowledge, expectation between the author and the reader. The development oftensions and instabilities in tum guide the reader to establish a coherent configuration ofthe narrative. This dissertation demonstrates that a satisfactory reading experience of the book of Job can be attained at both the narrative and the rhetorical levels. The analysis reveals that the central problem ofthe book is appropriate religious expressions in the context of suffering. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

LibraryWang, Peilin 27 June 2019 (has links)
The thesis is a study of how architecture brings the fantasy from drawings to the reality as a building. A library is a good choice for me because of the most familiar experience that accompanied with me so far is learning. The key of a library, in this case, should be "sharing the knowledge", it will from book, discovery and discussion. / Master of Architecture

Interactive Electronic Books - Traditional Medium in a New Form Diploma thesis "Interactive Electronic Books - Traditional Medium in a New Form" deals with very current form of printed books. It's another step for an electronic book, which has distinct differences in the possible participation in the creation of such media. My thesis defines the terms of electronic books, digital books, and interactive electronic books. It briefly describes the history and development of the book into its interactive form. An important part of this work is the development and history of the Internet, which is inseparable from the development of electronic books. Thanks to the Internet electronic books are available to all users; the development in this area wouldn't be so fast without its existence. The main part of the thesis was a qualitative analysis (the method of depth interviews) which examines young people's interest in interactive electronic books and their opinion about its potential in the future. The main part of the depth interviews was an evaluation of different forms of various genres of electronic books and their possibilities. The conclusion is about the prognosis of interactive electronic books from various points of views.

AN EVALUATION OF THE READABILITY, COMPLETENESS, AND ACCURACY OF SELECTED DRUG INFORMATION BOOKS FOR THE CONSUMERStratton, Timothy Patrick, 1957- January 1982 (has links)
An increased demand by consumers for more prescription drug information has resulted in many consumer-oriented books on the subject. Fourteen such books were identified and assessed for readability, completeness, and accuracy. Ten drugs were randomly selected for review from among the 225 most frequently prescribed brand name and generic drugs for 1980. The Caylor formula was selected to evaluate readability. The thirteen points from ASHP's "Statement on Pharmacist-Conducted Patient Counseling" served as the basis by which completeness was measured. The United States Pharmacopeia Dispensing Information (USP DI) served as the standard professional reference for counseling patients about their medicines. It was used to test the completeness and accuracy
of each book. Descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations) were selected for the readability and completeness sections. Readability means ranged from ninth grade to college level. The intrabook readability range width ranged from less than one grade level to over four grade levels. Completeness ranged from less than 30% to over 75% of the information provided by the USP DI. All test books achieved a minimum accepatble level of accuracy relative to the USP DI. Finally, the books were rated and ranked by various factors related to their readability and completeness.

Trace timeKambs, Jill Elise 01 May 2013 (has links)
Trace Time is an interdisciplinary book arts exhibit featuring handmade paper installations, one-of-a-kind prints and book objects, and a fine press artist’s book in edition. The theme of this work focuses on the relationship between humans and the rest of the natural world by examining the tension between organic lifecycles and human cultivation, control, and constraint of the environment. By following a system for tracing natural surroundings, I document environmental movement in a series of time-based sequential pieces measuring light, water, and color.
