In this sense, it ponders on the dialectical construction of an umbandismo typical from Northern Minas Gerais, formed by the meeting of two types of umbanda in the region: the one from the Southeast and the one from the Northeast. The umbandismo resulting from the shock between the cited trends carries on its rituals and activities elements from the North of Minas Gerais, which denounce the ethos historically constructed in the region, from the cultural meeting between the people from the states of Bahia and São Paulo. We intend to present with this paper that, by following this region's populating process line, the umbanda has suffered and suffers influences, hence translating the hybridization peculiar to the sertanistas and bordering regions. The methodological procedure used in this paper was qualitative, composed by: oral sources with testimony of people who knew and introduced themselves in this religion in the decades of 40, 50 and 60, and of current priests and umbandistas by means of tape recorder and informal conversations; documental survey in public and private heritage; field observation work with the description of rituals; photographs as data source. Thus, from the data crossing obtained in the field, we have come to the following conclusions: the Umbanda Sertaneja translates in its rituals and social relations the axiological issue present in the history of the region, the tension between the good and the evil; the arrival of camdomblé in this region at a posterior time has provoked the introduction of umbandistas priests in this religion without, however, characterizing the abandonment of umbanda; in some temples, this introduction provokes the formation of a religious continuum formed by the triad umbanda, quimbanda and candomblé which signals the emergence of a new religious logic; the figure of Exu presents itself in this new logic as the main personality insofar as it establishes, in the mentioned triad, the role of axis and connection besides revealing aspects of the norte mineiro ethos / O presente trabalho analisa o processo histórico-antropológico da Umbanda na região norte do estado de Minas Gerais a partir de meados de 1940 até a atualidade. Neste sentido, tece reflexões sobre a construção dialética de um umbandismo tipicamente sertanejo formado do encontro nesta região de dois tipos de Umbanda: a do sudeste e a do nordeste. O umbandismo, resultante do choque entre as tendências citadas carrega em seus rituais e atividades, elementos sertanejos que denunciam o ethos construído historicamente na região a partir do encontro cultural entre baianos e paulistas. Pretendemos apresentar neste trabalho que ao seguir a linha do povoamento desta região, a Umbanda sofreu e sofre influências traduzindo desta forma a hibridez própria de regiões sertanistas e fronteiriças. O procedimento metodológico utilizado neste estudo foi o qualitativo, composto por: fontes orais através de depoimentos de pessoas que conheceram e se inseriram nesta religião nas décadas de 40, 50 e 60, de sacerdotes e umbandistas da atualidade com a utilização de gravador e conversas informais; levantamento documental em acervos públicos e privados; trabalho de observação de campo com a descrição de rituais e uso de fotografias. Desta forma, a partir do cruzamento dos dados obtidos no campo, chegamos às seguintes conclusões: a Umbanda Sertaneja traduz em seus rituais e relações sociais, a questão axiológica presente na história da região: a tensão entre o bem e o mal; a chegada na região do Candomblé tem provocado a inserção nesta religião de sacerdotes umbandistas, sem, contudo caracterizar o abandono da Umbanda; em alguns terreiros, a inserção provoca a formação de um continuum religioso formado pela tríade Umbanda, Quimbanda e Candomblé assinalando a emergência de uma nova lógica religiosa; a figura do Exu se apresenta nesta nova lógica como personalidade principal à medida que estabelece na tríade citada, a função de eixo e conexão além de revelar aspectos do ethos norte-mineiro

This thesis is an attempt to analyze the binary oppositions between the &ldquo / rich&rdquo / and the &ldquo / poor&rdquo / as well as the &ldquo / good&rdquo / and the &ldquo / evil&rdquo / in the 1960s&rsquo / YeSil&ccedil / am melodramas. It analyzes the narrative structure of YeSil&ccedil / am melodramas which interweave fiction with certain embedded social values and argues that a number of cooperating and contending discourses interanimate each other in the form of binary oppositions in YeSil&ccedil / am narratives. The cinematic representation of the lower and upper class is analyzed, underlining how the relation between the two was constructed by YeSil&ccedil / am melodramas. The study focuses on the symbolic world established by YeSil&ccedil / am narratives through the use of common meanings attributed to characters (e.g. delikanli and z&uuml / ppe), values (e.g. honesty, modesty, ostentation and artificialness) and places (e.g. meyhane and coffeehouse).

Traça um paralelo entre ambos os protagonistas, observando analogias e contrastes em sua construção e as relações com o contexto sociocultural e a tradição popular. Para tanto, considera os seguintes aspectos: a proposta literária dos dois autores; a presença de substratos medievais na construção dos heróis em análise, denunciando, em ambas as narrativas, a herança de uma tradição popular que dá ênfase a atitudes de coragem, destemor, valentia; a presença da ambiguidade ou ambivalência nos dois protagonistas. Torna-se evidente em Cabeleira a tese rousseauniana do homem naturalmente bom corrompido pelo meio, mas que pode recuperar os bons sentimentos perdidos através do amor e da religião. Malhadinhas, por sua vez, mostra-se um sujeito briguento e astucioso, valendo-se de mentiras e enganos para escapar de situações embaraçosas ou perigosas, mas, ao final, dá sinal de mudanças, passando mesmo a adotar um comportamento religioso, frequentando a Igreja e atribuindo à sociedade a culpa de seus erros. Podemos observar que, apesar de guardarem semelhanças em relação a alguns aspectos, os heróis diferenciam-se em outros. Dessa forma, o estudo, dividido em três capítulos, primeiramente introduz considerações acerca da atuação dos escritores, da recepção crítica de suas obras, de suas respectivas propostas literárias, focalizando o regionalismo. O capítulo seguinte verifica a herança medieval perceptível nas personagens em estudo e, por fim, o último examina a questão da ambivalência, observando o problema do embate entre bem e mal apresentado pelos protagonistas. O trabalho visa, assim, a uma melhor compreensão das ideias e da produção dos autores e da sua importância no quadro cultural e literário em que atuaram.

This essay will examine the youth novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling. The aim of this essay is to find tendencies of how the novel favours non-stereotypical male behaviour and characteristics. Using gender criticism, the novel and its most central male characters are analysed to highlight their gender characteristics. Symbols and metaphors constitute a part of the analysis for a more comprehensive examination. The results of this essay show that the male characters are divided into two factions, the good side and the evil side. It is evident that the male characters on the evil side are characterised by stereotypical male gender behaviour and the male characters on the good side tend to show a lack of stereotypical masculine traits. The Fantasy genre, which dictates a strong good versus evil storyline, extends this polarisation. The stereotypical male gender roles are therefore opposed and non-stereotypical male behaviour is promoted in the narration by favouring male vulnerability and ridiculing stereotypical masculine traits.

Denna studie har fokuserat på villkor, kontroll och reglering av den barnkulturella platsen Schoolforgoodandevil.com och hur den tänkta målgruppen av barn rör sig inom platsen och dess rum. Genom användandet av en netnografisk metod har studien gått i dialog med platsens rum med hjälp av Foucaults heterotopiabegrepp samt barndomsgeografi för att påvisa hur diskursiva praktiker som kretsar kring barnet har påverkat uppbyggnaden av platsen och hur användarna tillåts nyttja dess rum. Anonymisering och censur har varit den främsta taktiken för platsens uppehållande av barnets ”säkerhet”. I analysen används även en social nätverksanalys som är en netnografisk metod för att deskriptivt analysera användarnas dialog för att undersöka förhållning till platsen regler, villkor och kontroll. Studien kommer fram till att målgruppen och positionen av platsen, det vill säga barnet respektive det digitala rummet, var den främsta påverkande faktorn i dess uppbyggnad, regler och kontroll.

This study seeks to examine the precise way it may be said that God takes risks in creating and governing this world. In order to articulate this model of providence various texts of scripture are studied which have either been overlooked or interpreted differently in discussions of divine providence. These texts reveal a deity who enters into genuine give-and-take relations with creatures, a God who is genuinely responsive and who may be said to take risks in that God does not get everything he desires in these relationships. Furthermore, the traditional texts used to defend the no-risk view of providence are examined and shown that they do not, in fact, teach the idea that God is the cause of everything which happens in the world such that the divine will is never thwarted in the leas detail. The biblical teaching of God in reciprocal relations with his creatures is then discussed in theological and philosophical terms. The nature of God is here understood as loving, wise, faithful yet free, almighty, competent and resourceful. These ideas are explicated in light of the more traditional theological/philosophical understanding of God. Finally, some of the implications of this relational model of God are examined to see the ways in which it may be said that God takes risks and whose will may be thwarted. The crucial watershed in this regard is whether or not there is any conditionality in the godhead. The no-risk view denies, while the risk model affirms, that some aspects of God's will, knowledge, and actions are contingent. In order to grasp the differences between the two models the doctrines and practices involved in salvation, the problem of evil, prayer and guidance are examined to see what each model says about them. It is claimed that· .the relational or risk model is superior to the no-risk model both in terms of theoretical coherence and the practice of the Christian life. / Philosophy, Practical & Systematic Theology / Th.

Thesis (DTh)--Stellenbosch University, 2000 / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation is a theological-ethical study of suffering and God in relation to the war in Sudan. It examines historical, political, socio-economic and religious factors behind one of the longest wars of Africa. Over the last forty years, Sudan, the largest country in Africa has intermittently been at war with itself. This bitter conflict, pitting the predominantly Moslem north against Christian and animist south, has devastated communities, families as well as basic socio-economic infrastructure and has turned this potentially rich land into one of the most impoverished and heavily indebted countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. From 1983 to the present, this war of attrition has claimed nearly two million lives and displaced double that figure of people from their homes, scattering them all over the globe. But in the midst of this human catastrophe, the church has grown enormously. It has one of the fastest growth rates in Africa today. In its struggle with faith and the reality of suffering, the church in Sudan variedly interprets its predicament if only to make sense of this sordid experience. In that regard, it interprets suffering as divine judgement and as a direct result of a cosmic conflict between God and the forces of evil. At the same time, the church pleads with God for his intervention and deliverance. Thus, the image of God as Judge-Deliverer largely dominates the theology and worship of the suffering church in the war-torn country. This seems to be the major theme of more than 1 500 Bor Dinka new songs, composed in the war. To place the suffering of the church in Sudan in the larger context of Christian theology, this dissertation briefly looks at the problem of evil and suffering in 'classical theology', examining the thought of Augustine, Luther and Calvin as well as the paradigm shift in the optimism of the Enlightenment. Similarly, this dissertation takes a brieW look at 'alternative theodicies' that followed the collapse of the fine edifice of the Age of Reason and the dereliction of the world wars and natural disasters. In this category is to be found the dialectic theology of Karl Barth and Ji.irgen Moltmann. The praxis of Liberation Theology is also briefly explored as a response to suffering. GC Berkouwer's 'believing theodicy' is examined as a theological and Biblical critique of the whole project of theodicy as a wrongheaded enterprise vainly trying to justify the ways of God to man instead of the reverse. The African traditional view of suffering and evil is explored as a sharp contrast to the Western view. Looking at the Scripture, this work identifies five ways the Bible addresses the problem of evil and suffering. In the Bible, suffering may come as a punishment for sin or as a disciplinary measure from God or as a test of faith or faithfulness or as a price of choosing to follow Jesus or simply as innocent as in the case of Job. Admitting to the apparent mystery and insolubility of the problem of evil, this dissertation, finally, proposes the cross, community, character and hope as the only viable framework of transcending and transforming suffering. It argues in that regard that the incarnation is the distinctively Christian answer to the problem of evil and suffering in which that transcending and transforming can be effected. Within the framework of the cross, community, character and hope suffering can be transcended and transformed into the highest good possible in this life. The cross reminds those who suffer that God has done and will do something about suffering and that he does not abandon us in suffering. The community absorbs suffering and helps the victim through the ordeal. Character is formed and toughened as the sufferer chooses to respond appropriately to suffering. Hope tells us that suffering shall be ultimately overcome and a new order of things shall be ushered in, thus spurring us on to participate in the present as we anticipate that bright future. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie proefskrif is 'n teologies-etiese studie van lyding en God in verhouding tot die oorlog in Soedan. Dit ondersoek die historiese, politiese, sosio-ekonomiese en godsdienstige faktore agter een van die langdurigste oorloe in Afrika. Soedan, die grootste land in Afrika, is oor die afgelope veertig jaar ononderbroke in oorlog met sigself gewikkel. Hierdie bittere konflik, waarin die hoofsaaklik Moslem Noorde die Christen en animistiese Suidelike deel van die land teenstaan, het gemeenskappe en gesinne verwoes, sowel as die basiese sosio-ekonomiese infrastruktuur, en het sodoende hierdie potensieel ryk land omskep in een van die armoedigste lande, met een van die swaarste skuldelaste, in Afrika benede die Sahara. Vanaf 1983 tot op hede het hierdie uitputtingsoorlog amper twee miljoen lewens geeis, terwyl dit tweemaal sovee! mense van hul tuistes verplaas en hul wereldwyd versprei het. Ter midde van hierdie menslike katastrofe het kerklidmaatskap ontsaglik toegeneem. Die groeitempo is inderdaad tans een van die hoogstes in Afrika. In sy worsteling met die geloof en die realiteit van lyding interpreteer die kerk in Soedan sy toestand op 'n verskeidenheid van wyses, in 'n poging om sodoende van hierdie haglike omstandighede sin te maak. Lyding word interpreteer as die strafgerig van God, en as 'n direkte gevolg van die kosmiese konflik tussen God en die bose magte. Gelyktydig pleit die kerk met God vir sy ingryping en verlossing. Die siening van God as Regter- Verlosser is dus oorheersend in die teologie en aanbidding van die lydende kerk in 'n oorloggeteisterde land. Dit blyk die hooftema te wees van die meer as 1 500 Bor Dinka liedere wat ontstaan het gedurende die oorlog. Om die Iyding van die kerk in Soedan binne die groter konteks van die Christelike Teologie te plaas, word die probleem van die bose en Iyding in die klassieke teologie in hierdie proefskrif kortliks behandel. Die denke van Augustinus, Luther en Calvyn, sowel as die paradigmaverskuiwing wat gepaard gegaan het met die optimisme van die Verligting, word ondersoek. Hierdie proefskrif beskou ook kortliks die alternatiewe godslere wat gevolg het op die ineenstorting van die agttiende eeu se "Age of Reason" asook die verwaarlosing and ontwrigting van die wereldoorloe en verskeie natuurrampe. In hierdie kategorie vind ons die dialektiese teologie van Karl Barth en Jurgen Moltmann. Die praktyk van die Bevrydingsteologie word ook kortliks ondersoek as reaksie op Iyding. GC Berkouwer se 'believing theodicy' word ondersoek as teologiese en Bybelse kritiek op die hele projek van godsleer as 'n aweregse onderneming wat vergeefs probeer om die werkwyse van God te regverdig vir die mens, in plaas van die teenoorgestelde. Die tradisionele Africa-siening van lyding en die bose word ook ondersoek, as skerp kontras met die Westerse siening. Vanuit die Skrif, identifiseer hierdie studie vyf wyses waarop die probleem van die bose en lyding in die Bybel aangespreek word. In die Bybel is lyding In straf vir sonde, In tugmaatreel van God, In toets van geloof oftrou of die prys wat geeis word vir die keuse om Jesus te volg. Andersins, kan die mens heeltemal onskuldig wees, soos in die geval van Job. Hierdie proefskrif erken dat die probleem van die bose raaiselagtig en skynbaar onoplosbaar is. Die kruis, die gemeenskap, karakter, en hoop word uiteindelik voorgestel as die enigste gangbare raamwerk vir die transendering en transformasie van lyding. Daar word geredeneer dat in hierdie verband die opstanding die kenmerkende Christel ike antwoord op die probleeem van die bose en lyding bied, waarbinne hierdie transendering en transformasie kan geskied. Binne die raamwerk van die kruis, die gemeenskap, karakter en hoop, kan die mens lyding transendeer en dit transformeer tot die hoogste moontlike goed in hierdie lewe. Die kruis herinner die lydendes dat God reeds iets gedoen het, en nog sal doen omtrent lyding, en dat Hy ons nie in ons lyding sal verlaat nie. Die gemeenskap absorbeer lyding, en help die slagoffer deur die beproewing. Karakter word gevorm en geslyp soos die lydende kies om op geskikte wyse te reageer op die lyding. Die hoop verkondig die uiteindelike oorwinning oor lyding, en die begin van In nuwe bedeling; dus word ons aangespoor om deel te neem aan die aksie van die hede terwyl ons op daardie helder toekoms wag.
