201	Konzeptualismus diesseits und jenseits des Eisernen Vorhangs Schöpp, Manuela 04 March 2013 (has links) Die Dissertation vergleicht die Konzeptkunst in New York und den Moskauer Konzeptualismus am Beispiel zwei ihrer zentralen Vertreter: Joseph Kosuth und Ilya Kabakov. Beide haben unter dem Titel "The Corridor of Two Banalities" 1994 gemeinsam eine Installation realisiert. In Kosuth und Kabakov fanden die Zeitgenossen und Nachfolger sowohl ihr Vorbild als auch Gegenbild. In komparatistischer Perspektive werden Probleme diskutiert (z. B. das der (Selbst-)Referentialität), die die Diskussion über konzeptuelle Kunst begleiten, und konzeptuelle Kunst als Scharnier zwischen Moderne und Postmoderne erscheinen lassen. Konzeptkünstler betrachten kunsttheoretische und -historische Überlegungen in demselben Maße als selbstverständlichen Teil ihrer künstlerischen Arbeit, wie Kunst als universelle Kategorie für sie ihre Selbstverständlichkeit verloren hat. Sie setzen sich mit deren Rahmenbedingungen auseinander, die diktieren, was zu einer bestimmten Zeit und an einem bestimmten Ort als Kunst wahrgenommen wird. Die Dissertation konzentriert sich daher auf die Frage, wie Kosuth und Kabakov die (Konzept-)Kunst diesseits und jenseits des Eisernen Vorhangs selbst konzeptualisieren. Unter Einbeziehung der Rezeptionsgeschichte wird untersucht, welche Vorstellung von Autor- und Leserschaft Kosuth und Kabakov entwerfen, vom welchem Werkbegriff sie ausgehen und auf welche sprachphilosophischen Modelle sie sich dabei beziehen. / The thesis compares the Conceptual Art in New York with the Moscow Conceptualism while using the example of two of their greatest representatives: Joseph Kosuth and Ilya Kabakov. Together, they have created an installation entitled "The Corridor of Two Banalities" (1994). For their contemporaries and successors, Kosuth and Kabakov served as models or just the opposite. In a comparatistical perspective the thesis discusses problems (e.g. the (self-)referentiality) which go along with the debate about conceptual art and which let the conceptual art appear as a link between modernism and postmodernism. For conceptual artists, theoretical and historical considerations of art form an evident part of their artistic work to the same degree as art as a universal category has lost its self-evidence for them. They examine its frame conditions which dictate what is being considered as art at a specific time and in a specific place. Hence the thesis focusses on the question about the ways Kosuth and Kabakov conceptualise the (Conceptual) Art on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Taking into account the reception history it examines which concept of author- and readership Kosuth and Kabakov formulate, which definition of artwork they have assumed and which models of philosophy of language they refer to.

202	(Se) représenter les barrages : (a)ménagement, concessions et controverses / Representations of dams : infrastructures, concessions and controversies Flaminio, Silvia 30 November 2018 (has links) Cette thèse a pour objectif d’étudier les représentations et les récits liés aux aménagements controversés que peuvent être les barrages hydrauliques. Si la fonction symbolique des barrages a souvent été soulignée par la littérature scientifique, peu de travaux sont réellement consacrés à leurs représentations et à leurs trajectoires spatiales et temporelles. En s’inspirant d'études issues de la géographie sociale et culturelle sur les représentations et de la political ecology sur les discours, la thèse confronte différentes sources (presse, entretiens et archives), terrains (France et Australie) et approches méthodologiques (quantitatives et qualitatives) pour retracer l’évolution discursive des infrastructures hydrauliques. Les points de vue de différents acteurs sont aussi considérés: les habitants, les ingénieurs et les institutions hydrauliques, les opposants aux barrages, les administrations en charge de la protection de la nature ou encore les scientifiques qui produisent des connaissances sur l’environnement. D'un point de vue méthodologique, la thèse révèle les biais de certains matériaux et souligne l'intérêt de poursuivre leur croisement. Les résultats montrent l’évolution de waterscapes, d’espaces et de cycles hydrosociaux, par exemple les concessions progressives faites aux environnementalistes aux dépens des hydrocraties ; ils mettent aussi en avant, plus généralement, la production et la circulation de discours, notamment à l’occasion de conflits et de controverses, qui conduisent au délitement du discours prométhéen sur la nature et à la diffusion de représentations concurrentes de l'environnement. / The aim of this PhD thesis is to study representations and narratives on dams, which are often controversial infrastructures. If the symbolic role of dams has been underlined in the literature, few studies actually focus on the perception of dams and their spatial and temporal trajectories. Building on the literature of social and cultural geography on representation, and the writings of political ecology on discourse, this thesis confronts different sources (newspapers, interviews and archives), study areas (in France and Australia) and methodological approaches (quantitative and qualitative) in order to follow the discursive evolution of hydraulic infrastructure. The points of view of various stakeholders are also considered: inhabitants, engineers and hydraulic institutions, opponents to dams, administrations in charge of nature protection and scientists who produce environmental knowledge. From a methodologicial perspective, the dissertation highlights the limits of certain material and illustrates the necessity to consider different sources in parallel. The results show the evolution of waterscapes, hydrosocial spaces and cycles---the gradual concessions made to environmentalists at the expense of hydraulic bureaucracies---but they also illustrate, on a broader perspective, the production and the flow of discourses on the environment---the disaggregation of a Promethean discourse on nature and the multiplication of different and sometimes opposing representations of the environment---particularly during conflicts and controversies.

204	Bränsle för den moderna nationen : Etanol och gengas i Sverige under mellankrigstiden och andra världskriget / Fuelling the Modern nation : Ethanol and Wood Gas as Alternative Fuels in Sweden during the Interwar Years and World War II Ekerholm, Helena January 2012 (has links) This thesis investigate Swedish policy-making concerning promotion of wood gas and ethanol distilled from fermented sulphite lye as domestic fuel alternatives in the Interwar years and World War II. With a departure point in the theories of social constructions of technology (SCOT), the sociology of expectations and Thomas P. Hughe’s socio-technical systems I analyse the measures that were undertaken in these efforts, the arguments put forward for and against the ethanol and wood gas projects and how the efforts turned out. I also investigate how the interpretations of ethanol and wood gas as fuel alternatives changed from the Interwar period on through World War II and what consequences this had for ethanol and wood gas policy immediately after World War II. Source material includes Parliament and Government records, cabinet meeting files, governmental commissions, authority archives, technical evaluations and handbooks and scientific medical publications. Ethanol and wood gas were promoted from a nationalist vantage point. The Interwar debate was imbued with visions of national techno-scientific prowess in a perceived ongoing global contest for technological and scientific advancement, of which achieving autarky, self-sufficiency on important raw materials and industrial products, was an ideal for some. Ethanol and wood gas were also promoted as means for creating a lucrative new market for the forestry industry, which also held a prominent position in nationalist visions of technology. Expectations of a new war also motivated the promotion of ethanol and wood gas as national fuels. Measures for promotion included tax exemptions, sales guarantees and legislation for mandatory ethanol purchase for all petrol importing companies and gasifier loan funds. Political conflicts mainly centred around the principles of free trade as opposed to protectionism, proper use of tax funds and whether the potentials of the fuel alternatives were rhetorically exaggerated. During World War II ethanol and wood gas in particular served as important petrol surrogates. The increased wood gas use led to negative interpretations of wood gas a fuel alternative due to its hazardous, dirty and time-consuming maintenance and the changed driving behaviour it required from its users compared to petrol or ethanol fuelled automobiles. Compared to wood gas, ethanol was appreciated for its socio-technical similarities to petrol, but production was after the war deemed difficult to maintain during wartime. Whereas wood gas remained an important stand-by surrogate during the cold war, Swedish politicians lost interest in ethanol of the kind that was promoted in the Interwar years. / Fuel of the Future?

205	Martin Bucer und die Einheit der Christenheit : ein theologiegeschichtlicher Beitrag zur Ökumene-Debatte im modernen evangelikalismus unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Lausanner Bewegung für Weltevangelisation / Martin Bucer and the unity of Christendom : a theological historical contribution to the ecumenical debate in modern Evangelicalism with special reference to the Lausanne Movement for World Evangelisation Klöckner, Thomas 11 1900 (has links) German text / Die ökumenische Bewegung weltweit steht nicht erst seit kurzem vor großen Herausforderungen, nicht nur an der Basis. Kirchenpolitische Interessen, kulturelle Barrieren und in der Tat theologische Differenzen fragen nach dem Kern christlicher Einheit. Vor dieser Aufgabe steht auch und insbesondere die evangelikale Bewegung mit ihrer spezifischen Prägung und Fragestellung im Kontext der weltweiten Christenheit. Innerhalb dieser global betrachtet expandierenden Bewegung begegnet man dem ökumenischen Anliegen mit geteilter Aufmerksamkeit, offener Kritik und völliger Abstinenz. Mithilfe der Darstellung der Unionsbemühungen des Reformators Martin Bucer, insbesondere seiner theologischen Motive, wird ein hoffentlich weiterführender Gesprächsbeitrag für die Ökumene-Debatte im modernen Evangelikalismus geliefert. / World-wide ecumenicism has to challenge big issues for a long time now. Church-political interests, cultural frontiers and, of course, theological differences search for the center of christian unity. Especially evangelicalism as a part of world-wide christianity has to face this challenge with its specific character. Within this expanding movement, a variety of viewpoints exist with regard to ecumenicism: divided attention, open criticism and neglection. Martin Bucer as ecumenical pioneer in the period of reformation elaborates a fresh approach towards the evangelical ecumenicism-debate. His theological motives build the center of this dissertation. / Philosophy and Systematic Theology / M. Th.

206	Framing the DREAM Act: An Analysis of Congressional Speeches Koo, Yilmin 05 1900 (has links) Initially proposed in 2001, the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act (DREAM Act) continues to be relevant after nearly 20 years of debate. The year 2010 was significant because there seemed to be some possibility of passage. This study investigated the ways in which the DREAM Act discourse was framed that year by supporters and opponents. Selected Congressional speeches of three supporters and three opponents were analyzed using the approach to frame analysis developed by Schön and Rein. Accordingly, attention went to each individual's metacultural frame (i.e., culturally shared beliefs), policy frame (i.e., identification of problem and presentation of possible solution), and rhetorical frame (i.e., means of persuading the audience). Attention also went to the shared framing among supporters and the shared framing among opponents as well as differences in framing across the two groups. Although speakers varied in framing the issue, there were commonalities within groups and contrasts between groups. For supporters, the metacultural frame emphasized equity/equal opportunity, fairness, and rule of law; for opponents, the metacultural frame stressed rule of law, patriotism, and national security. For supporters, the policy frame underscored unfairness as the problem and the DREAM Act as the solution; for opponents, the policy frame emphasized the DREAM Act as the problem and defeating the DREAM Act as the solution. Rhetorical frames also differed, with the supporters making much use of testimonial examples and the opponents making much use of hyperbole. The study illustrates (1) how the same named values and beliefs can have dramatically different interpretations in metacultural framing, as were the case for rule of law and American dream in this discourse; (2) how the crux of an issue and its intractability can be seen by looking at how the problem is posed and how the solution is argued, and (3) how speakers strengthen their claims with particular kinds of rhetorical devices. Through descriptions of political positioning on the DREAM Act, the study contributes to understandings of ongoing issues regarding the lives of undocumented young people who have received and are receiving education in the U.S. DREAM Act frame analysis text analysis discourse frames framing naming undocumented immigration Congressional speeches metacultural frame policy frame rhetorical frame rule of law American dream equity intractable controversy Education, Curriculum and Instruction Education, Language and Literature Language, Linguistics Political oratory -- United States.

207	Les enjeux controversés dans le cadre de l’enseignement de l’histoire au secondaire : énoncés théoriques d’une synthèse des connaissances Larocque, Stéphanie 12 1900 (has links) Ce mémoire vise à produire des énoncés théoriques par une synthèse des connaissances sur les enjeux controversés dans le cadre de l’enseignement de l’histoire au secondaire. Nous posons au corpus de la recherche les questions suivantes : Comment le contexte influence-t-il le traitement scolaire des enjeux controversés ? Comment se manifestent les différentes approches pédagogiques et quels sont leurs effets sur les élèves ? Notre synthèse révèle que le traitement des enjeux controversés est limité par différents facteurs contextuels, comme la mémoire collective, la pression normative et la pression sociale. Puis, elle révèle aussi que les discussions sur des enjeux controversés contribuent au développement des habiletés intellectuelles, des compétences citoyennes et des connaissances lorsqu’elles s’opèrent selon certains critères. / The purpose of this thesis is to produce theoretical statements by gathering the available knowledge from the existing body of research on the teaching of controversial issues in high school history classrooms. We ask the following questions: How does context influence the school treatment of controversial issues? What are the possible approaches and how do they affect students? Our work reveals that school treatment of controversial issues is limited by contextual factors such as collective memory, normative pressure and social pressure. It also reveals that discussions of controversial issues contribute to the development of intellectual abilities, citizenship skills and knowledge when they follow certain criteria. enseignement de l'histoire pensée historienne pensée historique enjeux controversés questions socialement vives questions vives histoire difficile discussion débat délibération controverse histoire enseignement history teaching history teaching historical thinking controversial issues difficult history socially acute questions debate discussion controversy
208	Shakespeare and soteriology: crossing the Reformation divide Anonby, David 07 December 2020 (has links) My dissertation explores Shakespeare’s negotiation of Reformation controversy about theories of salvation. While twentieth century literary criticism tended to regard Shakespeare as a harbinger of secularism, the so-called “turn to religion” in early modern studies has given renewed attention to the religious elements in Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Yet in spite of the current popularity of early modern religion studies, there remains an aura of uncertainty regarding some of the doctrinal or liturgical specificities of the period. This historical gap is especially felt with respect to theories of salvation, or soteriology. Such ambiguity, however, calls for further inquiry into historical theology. As one of the “hot-button” issues of the Reformation, salvation was fiercely contested in Shakespeare’s day, making it essential for scholarship to differentiate between conformist (Church of England), godly (puritan), and recusant (Catholic) strains of soteriology in Shakespearean plays. I explore how the language and concepts of faith, grace, charity, the sacraments, election, free will, justification, sanctification, and atonement find expression in Shakespeare’s plays. In doing so, I contribute to the recovery of a greater understanding of the relationship between early modern religion and Shakespearean drama. While I share Kastan’s reluctance to attribute particular religious convictions to Shakespeare (A Will to Believe 143), in some cases such critical guardedness has diverted attention from the religious topography of Shakespeare’s plays. My first chapter explores the tension in The Merchant of Venice between Protestant notions of justification by faith and a Catholic insistence upon works of mercy. The infamous trial scene, in particular, deconstructs cherished Protestant ideology by refuting the efficacy of faith when it is divorced from ethical behaviour. The second chapter situates Hamlet in the stream of Lancelot Andrewes’s “avant-garde conformity” (to use Peter Lake’s coinage), thereby explaining why Claudius’s prayer in the definitive text of the second quarto has intimations of soteriological agency that are lacking in the first quarto. The third chapter argues that Hamlet undermines the ghost’s association of violence and religion, thus implicitly critiquing the proliferation of religious violence on both sides of the Reformation divide. The fourth chapter argues that Calvin’s theory of the vicarious atonement of Christ, expounded so eloquently by Isabella in Measure for Measure, meets substantial resistance, especially when the Duke and others attempt to apply the soteriological principle of substitution to the domains of sexuality and law. The ethical failures that result from an over-realized soteriology indicate that the play corroborates Luther’s idea that a distinction must be maintained between the sacred and secular realms. The fifth chapter examines controversies in the English church about the (il)legitimacy of exorcising demons, a practice favoured by Jesuits but generally frowned upon by Calvinists. Shakespeare cleverly negotiates satirical source material by metaphorizing exorcisms in King Lear in a way that seems to acknowledge Calvinist scepticism, yet honour Jesuit compassion. Throughout this study, my hermeneutic is to read Shakespeare through the lens of contemporary theological controversy and to read contemporary theology through the lens of Shakespeare. / Graduate / 2023-11-20 Shakespeare Shakespeare and religion soteriology Reformation Hamlet The Merchant of Venice Measure for Measure King Lear Reformation controversy salvation gospel justification by faith justification by works faith atonement grace sacraments sanctification Luther Calvin Erasmus Robert Southwell Lancelot Andrewes Samuel Harsnett Richard Hooker church of England recusant martyrdom exorcism discernment of spirits Molinism avant-garde conformity agency predestination Middleton Marlowe Cyril Tourneur George Whetstone Renaissance drama early modern religion anti-Judaism free will Arminianism Calvinism
209	Too foul and dishonoring to be overlooked : newspaper responses to controversial English stars in the Northeastern United States, 1820-1870 Smith, Tamara Leanne 30 September 2010 (has links) In the nineteenth century, theatre and newspapers were the dominant expressions of popular culture in the northeastern United States, and together formed a crucial discursive node in the ongoing negotiation of American national identity. Focusing on the five decades between 1820 and 1870, during which touring stars from Great Britain enjoyed their most lucrative years of popularity on United States stages, this dissertation examines three instances in which English performers entered into this nationalizing forum and became flashpoints for journalists seeking to define the nature and bounds of American citizenship and culture. In 1821, Edmund Kean’s refusal to perform in Boston caused a scandal that revealed a widespread fixation among social elites with delineating the ethnic and economic limits of citizenship in a republican nation. In 1849, an ongoing rivalry between the English tragedian William Charles Macready and his American competitor Edwin Forrest culminated in the deadly Astor Place riot. By configuring the actors as champions in a struggle between bourgeois authority and working-class populism, the New York press inserted these local events into international patterns of economic conflict and revolutionary violence. Nearly twenty years later, the arrival of the Lydia Thompson Burlesque Troupe in 1868 drew rhetoric that reflected the popular press’ growing preoccupation with gender, particularly the question of woman suffrage and the preservation of the United States’ international reputation as a powerfully masculine nation in the wake of the Civil War. Three distinct cultural currents pervade each of these case studies: the new nation’s anxieties about its former colonizer’s cultural influence, competing political and cultural ideologies within the United States, and the changing perspectives and agendas of the ascendant popular press. Exploring the points where these forces intersect, this dissertation aims to contribute to an understanding of how popular culture helped shape an emerging sense of American national identity. Ultimately, this dissertation argues that in the mid-nineteenth century northeastern United States, popular theatre, newspapers, and audiences all contributed to a single media formation in which controversial English performers became a rhetorical antipode against which “American” identity could be defined. / text Actors Acting Alabama claims Anglophobia Astor Place Riot Audience Audiences Bowery Boys Burlesque Citizenship Class Controversy Democratic Party Kean, Edmund Forrest, Edwin England Femininity Feminism Gender Great Britain Rynders, Isaiah Jewish American identity Jews United States Identity Journalism Thompson, Lydia Masculinity Media Media formations Melodrama Walsh, Mike Noah, Mordecai National Advocate National identity Nationalism New York New York Herald New York Tribune Newspapers Nineteenth century Northeastern United States Logan, Olive Performance Popular culture Popular press Mass print media Republican Party Revolution, 1848-1849 Rhetoric Scandal Shakespeare Spirit of the Times Suffrage Nativism Theatre Touring stars Whig Party Macready, William Charles Richard III (play) Merchant of Venice Shylock
