This dissertation examines the preaching ministry of George Whitefield as a precursor to presuppositional apologetics in relation to the cultural shift of the Enlightenment. The presupposition of the authority of the Word of God is the concept that bridges Whitefield’s preaching and presuppositional apologetics. Chapter 1 presents the research questions narrowing the topic. This section also presents background information as well as methodology of this work. Chapter 2 describes the biographical information of Whitefield. The cultural influences marked his life from an early age, but it was the influence of John and Charles Wesley that guided his faith. Chapter 3 outlines the thought of the Enlightenment period. Specifically, rationalism as a means to discerning and living by truth. Philosophical influences such as Locke, Newton, Hume, Descartes, and Kant are overviewed. The First Great Awakening was the result of many cultural and theological ideas boiling over simultaneously. People were craving truth, direction, and a sense of authority. The Awakening highlighted the movement of the Holy Spirit theologically and a resurgence of biblical truth culturally. The work of John Wesley and Jonathan Edwards is also detailed in regards to their efforts to combat rationalism as sole priority in worldview thinking. Chapter 4 highlights the apologetic within the polemic of Whitefield. His Calvinistic theology is identified and connected to the Articles of faith for the Church of England. This leads to the idea of presuppositional apologetics found within his preaching. Cornelius Van Til, the father of presuppositional apologetics, is also overviewed to show the distinct connection between Whitefield’s thoughts in holding a high view of Scripture and what becomes presuppositional apologetics. Chapter 5 examines the sermons of Whitefield for specific content related to evangelical pushback against Enlightenment thought. Key propositions of the Enlightenment regarding authority, morality, and ultimate truth are answered within the preaching of Whitefield. Each are examined thoroughly. Chapter 6 presents a conclusion regarding the apologetic of Whitefield in his preaching towards the Enlightenment. It reveals connections between the presupposition of the authority of the revelation of God and his polemic. Other connections between the reformer John Calvin and the father of presuppositional apologetics, Cornelius Van Til, are also noted.

Walking through the fields of Cultural History, the Historical Culture and specialized historiography of tiles art, focusing on Paraíba, this work intends to establish a comparison of others panels of this craftsman with the same theme, some of them preserved in Lusitanian Atlantic islands and in Portugal itself, tracing its author style trajectory, trying to identify the iconographic sources of his work and also discusses the movement of iconographic models in Portuguese America. / Esta dissertação pretende analisar a circulação de imagens lusitanas no Além-mar, através do silhar de azulejaria lusitana que trata da saga de José do Egito, cuja autoria é atribuída por especialistas portugueses ao mestre azulejar Teotónio dos Santos – atuante em Lisboa na década de 1730 – e que se encontra instalado no convento franciscano erguido na sede da Capitania da Paraíba durante o período colonial, entre os séculos XVII e XVIII. Percorrendo as searas da História cultural, da Cultura Histórica e da historiografia especializada sobre a arte do azulejo mundo, com foco na Paraíba, pretende-se estabelecer uma comparação da dita obra com outras do mesmo artífice, algumas delas preservadas nas ilhas lusas do Atlântico e no próprio Portugal, traçando a trajetória do estilo de seu autor, ao mesmo tempo em que tentamos abarcar as fontes iconográficas de seu trabalho e, desse modo, perceber de forma mais aprofundada a circulação de modelos iconográficos pela América portuguesa.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the Gothic novel, a much neglected and misunderstood school, as a unified literary cycle. Attention has been centred on the domains or sub-systems of the novel where cultural models and generic traits are particularly important and distinguishable: character, plot (with the necessary evocation of a fictional world), theme and symbol. No apology is offered for the many quotations: far too little recourse is made to the texts in most discussions of the Gothic novel and this has all too frequently led to misapprehensions and unfounded generalizations. The opening section places the genre in a historio-literary context, and centres attention on the major novels, while the final section opens additional perspectives on the cycle, suggests the importance of the Gothic school for modern times, and illustrates the inevitability of its central vision of evil.

The lecture was given on July 27th, 1981. The discussion dealt with two anonymous eighteenth-century works: a Symphonia, Anon. 32b in D for two trumpets, two oboes, two violins, viola and bassoon; and a Concerto, Anon. 3 in D for trumpet, three oboes, and two bassoons. Both works are from part-books, originally owned by the Prussian General Georg von Lilien (1652-1726), which are now part of the "Sonsfeld Collection" housed in the Bibliotheca Furstenbergiana at Schloss Herdringen, W. Germany. The lecture included an examination of the origin of the manuscripts, the historical background for the works, and aspects of mixed style in the music. It also contained an analytical discussion of each work. Both works were then performed. In addition to the lecture recital three other recitals of music for solo trumpet were given. The first recital was given on November 21, 1977 and included the Concerto for Trumpet by Johann Nepomuk Hummel, and works of Henry Purcell, Halsey Stevens, and Eugene Bozza. The second recital was presented on July 3, 1978. It featured the Concerto in A('(FLAT)) by Alexander Arutunian along with works of Georges Enesco, Jean Rivier, and Allen Molineux. The third recital included works of Ernest Bloch, J. G. B. Neruda, Alexander Goedicke, and Fischer Tull. It was given on March 3, 1980. All four recitals were recorded on magnetic tape and are filed, along with the written version of the lecture materials, as a part of the dissertation, at North Texas State University library.

As Aventuras de David Simple, primeiro romance de Sarah Fielding publicado em 1744, foi redescoberto pela crítica anglo-saxã nos anos 60 através da adoção de perspectivas que buscavam questionar as abordagens canônicas no que se refere ao romance moderno como gênero. Neste trabalho, procuramos compreender a contribuição, dentro da história do romance, dos principais estudos acerca de David Simple, e propor uma análise crítica que, aproximando-se do material narrativo, visa a expor como se formulam, no nível da fatura, algumas das questões fundamentais da vida socioeconômica e literária da Inglaterra neste período / The Adventures of David Simple, Sarah Fielding\'s first novel published in 1744, was rediscovered by Anglo Saxon critics in the 1960\'s who employed new perspectives that aimed at questioning earlier canonical assumptions regarding the modern novel as a genre. The aim of this research is to understand the contributions, to the history of the novel, of the main studies concerning David Simple, and also to propose a critical analysis that, approaching the narrative material, aims at exposing how the novel formulates, in the managing of its structure and themes, some of the fundamental issues in socioeconomic and literary English life in this period

Between the 1720s and the 1750s, the defence of the mines of Goiás touted indigenous settlements as true barracks, which served as shelter for the pacified indigenous that were used as soldiers in attacks against the region s indigenous. At that point, it interested organizing the closing of territory, a phenomenon that joined the concentration of fiscal activities under Royal Road, the prohibition of navigation of the Tocantins and Araguaia rivers and fighting against smuggling. However, since the early years of the 1750s, new issues emerged within what was meant by defending the of Goiás. The idea of settlement of the captaincy, now conceived as a more efficient way to defend the royal possessions, articulated the creation of new settlements, now understood as unities of population, evidence of portuguese presence along the full territory extension. Moreover, the creation of roads linking the camps, the opening of communications with others Colony s Captaincy and the franchising of rivers navigation integrated mechanisms triggered in defending territory. Therefore, the aim of this work is the distinction between these two ways of thinking about territory defense. / Este trabalho é um estudo do problema da defesa do território na Capitania de Goiás no século XVIII, e de como é preciso perceber que a lógica que animava seu funcionamento não era de natureza econômica, mas obedecia a princípios concebidos no interior de um dispositivo político particular. Entre as décadas de 1720 e 1750, a defesa das minas de Goiás agenciava os aldeamentos indígenas como verdadeiros quartéis, que serviam de abrigo a indígenas pacificados e utilizados como soldados nas investidas contra os indígenas da região. Àquela altura, interessava organizar o fechamento do território, um fenômeno que unia a concentração das atividades fiscais sobre a Estrada Real, a proibição da navegação dos rios Tocantins e Araguaia e o combate ao contrabando. No entanto, já nos primeiros anos da década de 1750, emergem novas questões no interior daquilo que se entendia por defesa do território de Goiás. A ideia do povoamento da Capitania, agora concebida como meio mais eficiente de defender as possessões reais, articulava a criação de novos aldeamentos, agora entendidos como unidades de povoamento, marcas da presença portuguesa por toda extensão do território. Além disso, a criação de estradas de ligação entre os arraiais, a abertura de comunicações com outras Capitanias da Colônia e o franqueamento da navegação dos rios integraram mecanismos acionados na defesa do território. A distinção entre essas duas formas de pensar a defesa do território, o objetivo deste trabalho.

Neste trabalho buscou-se estudar a Inquisição portuguesa em dois períodos distintos. Primeiramente, objetivou-se compreender o período, a partir de 1720, no qual ocorreram os picos da repressão do Santo Ofício português em relação a práticas de feitiçaria, sendo justamente os feiticeiros o objeto do estudo. Pretendeu-se analisar a visão e os procedimentos da Inquisição no tocante a esse tipo de práticas e crenças. O segundo objetivo do trabalho consistiu em analisar o período de declínio da instituição inquisitorial, após a década de 70 do século XVIII, interessando, por um lado, o esforço de manutenção da Inquisição e, por outro, a descrença em relação às atuações dos feiticeiros e seus poderes. Pretendeu-se apreender diálogos existentes entre a autoridade oficial (católica) e o lado extra-oficial (feiticeiros), bem como entender o posicionamento da Inquisição posta entre esses que contatavam o sagrado sem o intermédio eclesiástico e os ilustrados, cujas luzes da razão vinham se desenrolando ao longo dos Setecentos. / This work aimed to study the Portuguese Inquisition in two distinct moments. In a first moment, it aimed to understand the period starting at 1720, in which occurred the peaks of the Holy Offices repression to practices of sorcery, being sorcerers the object of study. It was intended to analyze the points of view and procedures of the Inquisition concerning such practices and beliefs. The second objective was to assess the period of decline of the inquisitorial institution, after the 1770s, interesting, on one hand, the Inquisitions effort to maintain herself and, on the other hand, a disbelief concerning the actions of sorcerers and their powers. It was intended to capture the dialogues between the official (Catholic) and unofficial (sorcerers) sides, as well as to understand the positioning of the Inquisition put between those who contacted the sacred without the ecclesiastical intermediate, and the enlightenment men, whose lights of reason had been unfolding along the 18th century.

A dissertação analisa a trajetória social dos libertos de Mariana (MG) na segunda metade do século XVIII, período caracterizado pela reorganização da economia local, após o auge da mineração. Ao longo do século formou-se, naquela sociedade, um contingente significativo de egressos do cativeiro. O trabalho procura demonstrar, por meio do exame de diversos repertórios documentais (registros de óbitos, testamentos, inventários e ações cíveis), que o aspecto central daquelas trajetórias sociais foi a obtenção da liberdade. Ainda que a maior parte desses libertos contraísse dívidas e morresse na pobreza, a alforria representava o ponto de inflexão decisivo em suas vidas. / This work analyses the social trajectory of the freedmen in Mariana (MG) in the second half of the eighteenth century, a period characterized by the reorganization of the local economy, after the mining peak. Throughout the century, a significant contingent of people released from captivity was formed in that society. This work aims at demonstrating, through the exam of several documents, death records, testaments, inventories e civil actions, that the central aspect of such social trajectories was the conquest of freedom. Although most of the freedmen obtained debts and died in poverty, the manumission represented the turning point in their lives.
