This thesis is an exploration of the extent to which Paul�s terminology of Inheritance [(...)] in Romans, and its associated imagery, logic and arguments, functioned to evoke socio-political expectations that were alternative to those which prevailed in contemporary Roman imperial discourse. There are two parts to this study. The first is to take seriously the context of Empire and the claims being made by the Roman Empire in the first century. In particular, what were some of the messages conveyed by the Roman Empire with regard to the structure and purpose, the hopes and expectations, of first-century society? The Christians in Rome were daily exposed to the images and message of Caesar and his successors and there is therefore a need to consider how Paul�s language of Inheritance would have sounded within this environment. Second, this study gives attention to the content of Paul�s use of the word "inheritance" as it occurs in Romans. In order to address this question, three interrelated ideas are explored. First, for Paul, what does the inheritance consist of? The traditional understanding is that the concept is an entirely spiritualised or transcendent reality. This study proposes a more this-worldly, geographical nature to the word. Second, there is the closely related question of the political nature of inheritance. If it is the case that the language of inheritance has to do with the renewal of the land, then who inherits this land? These two questions raise a third issue-how will the inheritance transpire? Paul�s inheritance language contributes to notions of lordship, authority and universal sovereignty for the people of God. Conceivably, the path to this dominion could mirror the hegemonic intentions of imperial Rome which envisages the triumph of one group of people (the strong) over another (the weak). Is this the case with Paul�s inheritance language, or does it somehow undermine all claims to power and control? There are five undisputed uses of [...] and its cognates in Romans-Rom 4:13, 14; Rom 8:17 (three times) and there is one textual variant in Rom 11:1 where the word [...] is used in place of [...]. This study finds that, to varying degrees in each of these texts, the inheritance concept is not only a direct confrontation to other claims to rule, it is also simultaneously a reversal of all other paths to lordship and rule. This study then considers the use of the concept in the two other undisputed Pauline letters where it occurs (Galatians and 1 Corinthians) and also in the disputed letter to the Colossians. The overriding impression is that there is nothing in Galatians, 1 Corinthians or Colossians which significantly challenges the this-worldly, political nature of the language of inheritance in Romans. In these epistles and in Romans Paul employs the language and politics of inheritance in order to subvert the message of Empire.

Cette thèse porte sur l’évolution des cérémonies publiques impériales dans le monde romain tardif, thème qui nous a semblé fondamental pour la compréhension des institutions politiques de l’Empire Romain des IVe-VIIe s. Ces évolutions comptent sans doute parmi les plus importantes mutations qu'a connues le monde romain de l'Antiquité Tardive, puisqu'elles touchent le pouvoir suprême et son aura à l'intérieur de la société. L’objectif majeur du cérémonial est d’exalter l’empereur, de manifester sa gloire triomphale et sa sacralité – voire sa sainteté après l’adoption du christianisme – ainsi que de magnifier et célébrer le pouvoir d’origine divine qu’il détenait. Notre propos sera de montrer comment on passe d’un Empereur, princeps senatus, qui cherche à maintenir une fiction républicaine pour masquer le caractère monarchique de son pouvoir et qui est l’incarnation du passé romain ; à un empereur qui est l’élu de Dieu, affirmant un pouvoir monarchique avec le soutien de l’Eglise. Trois axes ont guidé notre recherche : La centralité du rôle de l’empereur dans l’évolution des cérémonies publiques. L’importance de l’intégration de l’empereur dans le système cérémoniel de l’Eglise et celle de l’intégration du clergé et principalement de l’évêque dans le système cérémoniel de l’empire. L’importance du fait barbare sur le phénomène cérémoniel. Dans l’Antiquité tardive on voit clairement des influences et des acculturations réciproques au niveau des cérémonies, mais aussi des formes de rejet de ces changements caractéristique des évolutions culturelles de la période. / This thesis focuses on the evolution of imperial public ceremonies in the late Roman world, a theme that seemed fundamental to the understanding of the political institutions of the Roman Empire of the fourth to seventh centuries. These developments are without doubt among the most important changes that have taken the world of Late Roman Antiquity, as they reach the supreme power and aura within society. The main objective of the ceremonies is to exalt the emperor, to manifest his triumphal rulership and his sacrality - even his holiness after the adoption of christianism - and to magnify and celebrate the divine power he held. Our purpose is to show how we shift from an emperor, princeps senatus, which seeks to maintain a republican fiction to hide the monarchical nature of his power, and is the epitome of Roman history ; to an emperor who is elected by God. Three axes have guided our research: The centrality of the role of the emperor in the evolution of public ceremonies. The importance of the integration of the emperor in the ceremonial system of the Church and the integration of the clergy and especially the bishop in the ceremonial system of the empire. The importance of the barbars on the ceremonial phenomenon. In Late antiquity we can clearly seen influences and mutual acculturation in the ceremonies, but also forms of rejection of these paradigmatic changes of the cultural evolutions of the period.

Leo VI (886-912) is an emperor who has suffered from a hostile and inadequate press. He has been portrayed as a weak and careless emperor, known mainly for his dubious parentage and marital exploits. This thesis questions these popular perceptions of Leo, and attempts to present a more realistic account of the emperor and the politics of his age. The aspects of the reign tackled focus on essential elements of Leo's life and rule, presented in a rough chronological framework, and the themes of personal relationships and political ideologies are recurrent. Chapter One examines Leo's relationship with Basil I and his attitude to his Macedonian heritage. Chapter Two considers the fate of the monumental figure of Photios at the emperor's hands. Chapter Three deals with the position and role of the 'all powerful' Stylianos Zaoutzes during the first half of the reign. Chapter Four ponders the origin and meaning of Leo's 'wise' epithet. Chapter Five focuses on the emperor's four marriages. Chapter Six turns to the course of foreign affairs during the reign, concentrating on Bulgaria and the Arab navy, and considers the emperor's attitude towards these military problems. Chapter Seven examines the emperor's relationship with his senatorial officials, focusing on two distinct groups, eunuchs and the generals who originated from families of the eastern frontier. Finally Chapter Eight addresses the tense relationship that existed between Leo and his brother and co-emperor Alexander. What emerges from a consideration of these aspects of Leo and his reign is that this is an emperor who does not deserve the popular perceptions that still persist about him. He was an emperor who forged a 'new' and distinctive imperial style, a style that should not deceive us; he may have been literate, sedentary and city-based, but he was also forceful, strong-willed and conscientious.

O trabalho foi realizado na Fazenda Experimental Lageado, no Departamento de Engenharia Rural, pertencente à Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas da Universidade Estadual Paulista “Júlio de Mesquita Filho”, FCA/UNESP, campus de Botucatu/SP. O experimento foi conduzido de junho a dezembro de 2016, todo o ciclo em casa de vegetação. Foi utilizado o delineamento inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 2x2x3. O primeiro fator foram dois tipos de água para irrigação, potável (P) e residuária (R), o segundo duas cultivares de feijão sendo uma de ciclo precoce IAC imperador (C1) e uma de ciclo normal TAA Dama (C2), e o terceiro foram os regimes hídricos empregados: a) Testemunha: onde as plantas foram irrigadas diariamente, durante todo o ciclo, mantendo-se o solo na capacidade de campo, cujo valor foi -10kPa, correspondente ao teor de água no solo, obtido da Curva Característica de Água do Solo; b) Estresse 1: com deficiência hídrica na fase vegetativa; e c) Estresse 2: deficiência hídrica na fase reprodutiva, perfazendo um total de doze tratamentos com seis repetições. Cada repetição e/ou unidade experimental foi representada por um vaso, totalizando setenta e duas unidades experimentais, que foram identificadas. Foi avaliado o desenvolvimento da planta, caracteres de produção, eficiência do uso da água e alterações químicas na planta, grão e solo. Com base nos resultados e de acordo com as condições experimentais pode-se concluir que: Os três fatores influenciaram o desenvolvimento do feijoeiro, principalmente no fim do ciclo. Quanto à questão nutricional, a água residuária se destacou nos teores no tecido vegetal e grão. O solo sofreu mudanças na sua fertilidade com o uso da água residuária. Não houve interação dos fatores para os caracteres de produção avaliados. Os estresses hídricos nas fases vegetativa e reprodutiva influenciaram em praticamente todas as avaliações, interferindo de forma negativa no desenvolvimento, nos caracteres de produção do feijoeiro e no teor de nutrientes. A eficiência do uso da água pela cultura, sofreu efeito dos estresses hídricos resultando em decréscimos na produtividade. / The objective of this work was to study the effect of the water deficit applied on two bean cultivars, in the vegetative and reproductive phases, associated with the use of wastewater. The work was carried out at the Lageado Experimental Farm, in the Rural Engineering Department, belonging to the School of Agriculture of the Sao Paulo State University "Júlio de Mesquita Filho", FCA / UNESP, campus of Botucatu / SP. The experiment was conducted from June to December 2016, the whole cycle in a greenhouse. A completely randomized design was used in a 2x2x3 factorial scheme. The first factor was two types of water for irrigation, potable (P) and residuary (R), the second two bean cultivars being an early cycle IAC emperor (C1) and one of normal cycle TAA Dama (C2), and the third were the water regimes used: a) Witness: where the plants were irrigated daily, throughout the cycle, maintaining the soil in the field capacity, whose value was -10kPa, corresponding to the water content in the soil, obtained from the Curve Soil Water Characteristics; b) Stress 1: with water deficit in the vegetative phase; and c) Stress 2: water deficit in the reproductive phase, making a total of twelve treatments with six replicates. Each replicate and / or experimental unit was represented by a vessel, totaling seventy-two experimental units. Plant development, production characteristics, water use efficiency and chemical changes in plant, grain and soil were evaluated. Based on the results and according to the experimental conditions it can be concluded that: The three factors influenced the development of the bean, mainly at the end of the cycle. Regarding the nutritional question, the residual water stood out in the contents of the plant tissue and grain. The soil has undergone changes in its fertility with the use of residuary water. There was no interaction of the factors for the evaluated production characters. Water stresses in the vegetative and reproductive phases influenced practically all evaluations, negatively interfering with development, bean production characteristics and nutrient content. The efficiency of water use by the crop has been affected by water stresses, resulting in decreases in productivity. / CAPES: 1491332

Após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, o Imperador do Japão perdeu sua soberania e passou a ser símbolo da nação e da união do povo japonês, de acordo com a Constituição promulgada em 1947, sendo suas funções basicamente cerimoniais e diplomáticas. Pensando nesse Imperador enquanto símbolo e no futuro da instituição imperial no Japão, a presente dissertação objetivou principalmente analisar que imagem o Imperador Akihito cria de si por meio de suas alocuções. Tais alocuções se encontram disponíveis no sítio eletrônico da Agência da Casa Imperial, tanto no original em japonês quanto em inglês. Dessa forma, considerando que a disponibilidade dos textos em japonês pressupõe coenunciadores nipônicos e a dos textos em inglês pressupõe a comunidade internacional como coenunciadores, analisaram-se as imagens criadas nos dois casos, buscando indícios de possíveis diferenças na criação do etos de Akihito em cada uma das versões de suas alocuções. Além disso, buscou-se também pensar as relações de poder, segundo Foucault (1995, 2010), no córpus de pesquisa. Como arcabouço teórico, utilizaram-se conceitos da Análise do Discurso de base enunciativa, mais precisamente o conceito de etos na leitura de Maingueneau (1997, 2001b). O material de análise coletado abrange conferências de imprensa realizadas por ocasião da comemoração de dez e vinte anos de reinado de Akihito, nos anos de 1999 e 2009, respectivamente. A metodologia de pesquisa, por sua vez, consistiu em se analisar de forma comparativa os textos em japonês com aqueles em inglês, tendo como foco as ocorrências do verbo japonês omou, que expressa sentimento e julgamento, recorrente nas alocuções do Imperador. Analisaram-se também as ocorrências de modalidades deônticas em ambas as versões do texto, acreditando-se que a pouca ocorrência dessas também contribui para se pensar a imagem do Imperador. Como resultado, verificaram-se diferenças significativas entre as duas versões das alocuções. O etos de Akihito nas alocuções em japonês sugere um Imperador amigo e próximo do povo, de tom moderado e amenizado, criando identificação entre ele e o povo. O etos apreendido na versão em inglês, por sua vez, sugere um Imperador mais firme em suas convicções, ora enfatizando mais seus sentimentos e opiniões, ora menos, conferindo-se certa ocidentalização de sua imagem. Pensando-se em termos de relação de poder, que caracteriza controle e divulgação, também se concluiu que, sendo o Japão o maior aliado capitalista no Oriente e seu Imperador, representante simbólico desse país, parece pertinente que suas alocuções estejam disponíveis de forma tal que possibilite um controle constante por parte da comunidade internacional, garantindo a ordem capitalista / After the Second World War, the Emperor of Japan lost his sovereignty and became symbol of the nation and of the unity of the Japanese people, according to the Constitution promulgated in 1947, being his functions basically ceremonials and diplomatics. Thinking of this Emperor as symbol and of the future of the imperial institution in Japan, the present dissertation tried to analyze what image Emperor Akihito creates of himself through his allocutions. Such allocutions are available on Imperial Household Agencys website in both Japanese and English. Therefore, considering that the availability of the texts in Japanese predicates Japanese coenunciators and that of the texts in English predicates the international community as coenunciators, the images created in both cases were analyzed, searching for signs of possible differences in the creation of the ethos of Akihito in both versions of his allocutions. Furthermore, one also tried to think the power relations, according to Foucault (1995, 2010), in the research corpus. For theoretical basis, concepts of the enunciative Discourse Analysis were used, more specifically the concept of ethos in Maingueneaus view (1997, 2011b). The collected material of analysis comprehends press conferences occurred in the occasion of celebrations for ten and twenty years of the enthronement of Akihito, in the years of 1999 and 2009, respectively. The methodology of research consisted in analyzing in a comparative way the texts in Japanese with the ones in English, focusing the occurrences of the Japanese verb omou, which expresses sentiment and judgment, recurrent in the Emperors allocutions. One has also analyzed the occurrences of deontic modalities in both versions of the text, considering that their few occurrences also contribute to think the Emperors image. As a result, significative differences between the two versions of the allocutions were observed. The ethos of Akihito in the allocutions in Japanese suggests an emperor that is friend and closer to the people, with a soft and moderate tone, in a way that creates identification between people and him. The ethos apprehended in the English version, on the other hand, suggests an Emperor who is stronger in his convictions, sometimes emphasizing more his feelings and opinions, sometimes less, leading to some westernization of his image. Thinking in terms of power relation, which characterize control and disclosure, one has also concluded that, being Japan the biggest capitalist ally in the East and its Emperor, symbolic representative of this country, it seems relevant that his allocutions are available in such a way that it becomes possible for the international community to exercise continuous control, ensuring the capitalist order
