Theo-dramatic ethics| A balthasarian approach to moral formation

Kuzma, Andrew J. 06 May 2016 (has links)
<p> What role does beauty play in our moral formation? What difference does the perception of beauty make to the way we live our lives? In order to answer these questions, I look to the twentieth-century Catholic theologian, Hans Urs von Balthasar. Relatively little has been written about Balthasar&rsquo;s ethics. He is, perhaps, best known for his retrieval of beauty as a transcendental property of being. Balthasar, though, never set down an extended account of his ethics or moral theology. While he had no explicit ethic, he certainly thought that his theology could be lived. The <i>Theo-Drama,</i> for instance, discusses the implications that the perception of beauty has for Christian life. </p><p> I do not intend to present &ldquo;Balthasar&rsquo;s ethics.&rdquo; Instead I will offer a &ldquo;Balthasarian ethic.&rdquo; Drawing from his theological aesthetics and dramatics, I will outline the morality implicit in his theology: a Balthasarian theo-dramatic ethics. We can see this kind of ethic at work, I contend, in some of Balthasar&rsquo;s lesser-known works on Christian life. I will then go beyond Balthasar to consider how we might put this moral formation into practice in the possibility of living out Christian pacifism in the nation-state and in our treatment of non-human animals. </p><p> This dissertation points to the convergence of method and performance. The method of theo-dramatic ethics can never be distilled to a set of abstract rules or terms. We can do so artificially in order to better express what makes performances of the good beautiful. But it is the performance, not the method, of theo-dramatic ethics that we find enrapturing. Being formed by performances of beauty better enables us to recognize and express new forms of beauty. My thesis is that recognizing beauty as the foundation of moral formation affirms the formational power of the Christian tradition as well as that of new experiences and practices because in both cases we are responding to beauty.</p>

A HERANÇA DO ESQUECIMENTO: SABERES DOCENTES NAS NARRATIVAS DE FORMAÇÃO / THE INHERITANCE OF FORGETFULNESS: KNOWLEDGE OF TEACHING IN NARRATIVES ON TRAINING

Pedroso, Eliana Regina Fritzen 21 August 2015 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The present work fits the Research, Training, Knowledge and Professional Development (LP1) area, of the Postgraduate Program on Education of the Education Center, at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM) and seeks explore the influences to the field of Education Philosophy on current teachers training in Brazil, approaching the research on this area and strengthening a process that is still recent, of thinking about the ethical and asthetical potential of the teaching knowledge. The need for this study is justified by the concern manifested in documents such as the National Curriculum Guidelines for the Undergraduate Course in Pedagogy (Brazil, 2006) and also by the theoretical and literature review, according to a critical-theoretical conception of education, in which the idea that the present time is substantially marked by the inheritance of forgetfulness underlies. The study was developed by means of a documental analysis of internship reports from the Pedagogy course of UFSM, following a qualitative approach and a hermeneutics-reconstructive understanding, outlining the present reports in the internship reports as training narratives. Therefore, the question is: how is the sensitivity in the training of teachers being developed for understanding of the remains of babarism in a time that is the heir of forgetfulness? Hence, the main objective of this research is to investigate the possibility of aggregating the asthetical-ethical horizon to the teaching knowledge, by means of the notion of experience, thematizing the narratives reverberated by the teachers under training in the time os forgetfulness. So, thinking about contributions about the pedagogical self-enlightenment of teaching provokes concern with the teaching rationality that circulates in the pedagogical environment. Within the work in question, this implies to assert how the practical-epistemological rationality, inserted in the syllabus of teachers training with some notion of knowledge and experience, limited to cognitiveness, contributed for the perpetuation of forgetfulness in the social sphere. / O presente trabalho de dissertação enquadra-se na Linha de Pesquisa Formação, Saberes e Desenvolvimento Profissional (LP1), do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação, do Centro de Educação, da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM) e busca lançar problematizar as influências do campo da filosofia da educação sobre a atual formação de professores no Brasil, abordando as pesquisas dessa área e fortalecendo um processo que é ainda recente, de pensar acerca do potencial ético e estético dos saberes docentes. A necessidade deste estudo se justifica, pela preocupação manifestada em documentos como as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para o Curso de Graduação em Pedagogia, licenciatura (BRASIL, 2006) e ainda pelo levantamento teórico-bibliográfico realizado, segundo uma concepção teórico-crítica de educação, na qual subjaz a ideia de que o tempo presente está marcado substancialmente pela herança do esquecimento. A pesquisa desenvolveu-se por meio de uma análise documental de relatórios de estágio do curso de Pedagogia Licenciatura Plena da UFSM, seguindo uma abordagem qualitativa e uma compreensão hermenêutica-reconstrutiva, delineando os relatos presentes nos relatórios de estágio como narrativas de formação. Diante disso, questiona-se: Como está sendo desenvolvida a sensibilidade no campo da formação de professores para compreensão dos vestígios da barbárie num tempo herdeiro do esquecimento? Desse modo, o objetivo central da pesquisa é investigar a possibilidade de agregar aos saberes docentes o horizonte ético-estético, por meio da noção de experiência, tematizando as narrativas repercutidas pelos professores em formação sob a influência de um tempo marcado pelo esquecimento. Assim, pensar contribuições acerca do autoesclarecimento pedagógico da docência provoca uma preocupação com as racionalidades docentes que circulam no ambiente pedagógico. No âmbito do trabalho em questão, isso implica perquirir como a racionalidade epistemológico-prática, inserida no currículo da formação de professores com uma noção de saber e experiência, limitada ao cognitivo, contribuiu para que se perpetue na esfera social a herança do esquecimento.

South African studio pottery of the later Twentieth century and its Anglo-Oriental epithet

Watt, Ronald 11 1900 (has links)
South African studio pottery of the later twentieth century has consistently been described as ‘Anglo-Oriental’, because it was perceived to adhere to the standard forms of utilitarian wares in plain or subdued colours and decorations, as promoted by the Anglo-Oriental tradition of studio pottery. This dissertation investigates the validity of such an epithet, based on evidence that the pioneer South African studio potters and their successors were exposed to broader pottery influences, and that the oeuvres which they developed reflect what they borrowed, adapted and re-interpreted from such influences. The studio pottery careers and influences of the pioneers Esias Bosch, Hyme Rabinowitz and Bryan Haden are discussed, and the oeuvres of the second generation of studio potters are also investigated. Attention is given to both the ethics and aesthetics of their studio pottery practices. The dissertation further explores whether the era’s studio potters contributed towards the creation of a distinctive South African pottery identity. / Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology / M.A. (Art History)

Habermas e Foucault: entre o universal e o particular: um debate ético filosófico da contemporaneidade / Habermas and Foucault: between universal and particular: an debate ethical philosophical contemporary

Bonin, Joel Cesar 30 June 2008 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2017-07-10T18:26:19Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Joel Cezar Bonin.pdf: 1028514 bytes, checksum: c126bc1a253eb207fa298b746a9eff65 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-06-30 / This study aimed to examine the works of Michel Foucault and Jürgen Habermas, the views that each author has, on contemporary ethics. The two thinkers have points of reference and thought very different. Foucault addresses through the History of Sexuality and how a person can be as thinkers and protagonists of an ethics focused on subjectivity, directed to a personal care of themselves. His texts refer to greek life and the possibility of a life guided by an aesthetic of existence, where universal precepts don t have chance. Habermas, however, part of a different paradigm and almost antagonistic. He believes that the living world was colonised and was alienated by a systemic world, where money and the State are their most expressive bulwarks. The output for this colonization is, to Habermas, the communicative action, which by means of language, the person interact and seek through the use of rationality argumentative, the consensus. This exercise is rational, according Habermas, the most appropriated option for the balance between objectivity and subjectivity of the human beings in the world. Indeed, communication is an intersubjective action, which takes into account the inclusion of other, the acceptance of the argumentation of others and the intent of the search for harmonization between the private and public sphere. The problem of Habermas lies in his desire to make the communicative action a universal action, valid for all. Habermas, therefore, develop an ethical theory that regards any act of speech has a claim to validity. The act of saying has an intention, a purpose. If this act of speech is valid or not, will depend on the analysis of the community in which the man is posed to discuss, it will depend on the strength of the argument and the acquiescence of the better argument. This act of putting under discussion is what will validate or not the argument. According Habermas, what matters is that this discussion should be free from coercion or domination. Something that Foucault understand how impossible, as every speech itself has power. It is not something that can be discarded or forgotten. In other words, according Foucault, the speech itself is power, whoever speaks. With this, we can see that Habermas and Foucault have very different points of view on what it means to be ethical. This work, in the end, shows that Foucault attempts to show that taking care of themselves is a free opportunity to be ethical, where through personal techniques, the subject search to know and meet themselves, with their bodies and their sexuality as a focus of this process. / Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar nas obras de Michel Foucault e Jürgen Habermas, os pontos de vista que cada autor tem, sobre a ética contemporânea. Os dois pensadores possuem pontos de referência e de pensamento bastante divergentes. Foucault aborda através da História da Sexualidade como que os sujeitos podem se constituir como pensadores e protagonistas de uma ética voltada para a subjetividade, direcionada para um cuidado pessoal de si. Seus textos nos remetem à vida grega e à possibilidade de uma vida pautada em uma estética da existência, onde preceitos universais não têm vez. Habermas, em contrapartida, parte de um paradigma diverso e praticamente antagônico. Ele acredita que o mundo vivido foi colonizado e instrumentalizado por um mundo sistêmico, onde o dinheiro e o Estado são seus baluartes mais expressivos. A saída que Habermas encontra para esta colonização é o agir comunicativo, onde por meio da linguagem, os sujeitos interagem e buscam através do uso da racionalidade argumentativa, o consenso. Este exercício racional é, segundo Habermas, a possibilidade mais adequada para o equilíbrio entre a subjetividade e a objetividade dos sujeitos que vivem no mundo. No fundo, a comunicação é uma ação intersubjetiva, que leva em conta, a inclusão do outro, a aceitação dos argumentos alheios e a intencionalidade da busca de harmonização entre a esfera privada e a esfera pública. O problema de Habermas reside em sua pretensão de tornar a ação comunicativa uma ação universal, válida para todos. Habermas, para isso, desenvolve uma teoria ética que considera que todo ato de fala possui uma pretensão de validade. O ato de dizer possui uma intenção, uma finalidade. Se esse ato de fala será válido ou não, dependerá da análise da comunidade na qual o sujeito se põe a discutir, dependerá da força argumentativa e da aquiescência ao melhor argumento. Esse ato de pôr em discussão é que validará ou não o argumento. Segundo Habermas, o que importa também é que esta discussão deve ser isenta de coação ou dominação. Algo que Foucault compreende como impossível, pois todo discurso possui em si poder. Não é algo que pode ser descartado ou esquecido. Ou seja, segundo Foucault, o próprio discurso é poder, independentemente de quem discursa. Com isso, podemos ver que Habermas e Foucault possuem pontos de vista bastante diversos sobre o que significa ser ético. Este trabalho, ao final, apresenta que Foucault tenta demonstrar que o cuidado de si é uma possibilidade livre de ser ético, onde através de técnicas pessoais, o sujeito busca encontrar-se e descobrir-se, tendo seu corpo e sua sexualidade como foco deste processo.
