We sought to verify the consistency of the relationship between the Kingdom of God and the victims of history. To answer this question we traveled, by biographical analysis, to the Author s theological thought. We did this in three chapters. In the first chapter the attention turns to the matrix that originated the sobriniano thought, with the central concern of understanding its theological proposal to overcome the victims suffering reality in the history. The second chapter seeks to understand how this theologian focuses on the Kingdom of God s category on his theology, and what is its originality. The third chapter seeks to point out the implications that the Kingdom of God demands in the work with the victims of history, as well as explain the degree of consistency between the Kingdom of God and the victims / Esta disserta??o reflete sobre o tema O Reino de Deus e as v?timas da hist?ria na cristologia de Jon Sobrino. Buscamos averiguar a consist?ncia da rela??o entre Reino de Deus e as v?timas da hist?ria. Para responder tal indaga??o, percorremos, atrav?s da an?lise biogr?fica, o pensamento teol?gico do Autor. Fizemos isso em tr?s cap?tulos. No primeiro cap?tulo, a aten??o volta-se para a matriz origin?ria do pensamento sobriniano, com a preocupa??o central de compreender sua proposta teol?gica para superar a realidade de sofrimento das v?timas na hist?ria. No segundo cap?tulo, busca-se entender como esse te?logo enfoca a categoria Reino de Deus em sua teologia, e em que consiste a sua originalidade. No terceiro cap?tulo, procura-se apontar as implica??es que o Reino de Deus exige na atua??o junto ?s v?timas da hist?ria, bem como explicitar o grau de consist?ncia existente entre o Reino de Deus e as v?timas

Jon Stewart, the anchor and purveyor of “fake news,” has catapulted television's The Daily Show into prominence. The show functions as both a source of political humor and a vehicle for political commentary. This thesis explores how the program visually and rhetorically problematizes the hegemonic model of traditional television news, and how it tips the balance between what is considered serious news and what has become cliché about the broadcast industry.

Abstract To tell the nonfiction biography of Christopher McCandless in Into the Wild Jon Krakauer uses a plethora of references to Henry D. Thoreau. In this thesis I study how Krakauer uses Thoreau while balancing on the fine line that differentiates the historian from the storyteller. Through an analysis of Krakauer’s use of Thoreau’s economic ideas, liberal ideas, and view of nature and wilderness I argue that Krakauer blurs a pragmatic understanding of Thoreau and uses techniques of fiction to characterize McCandless as a late Thoreauvian transcendentalist. By doing so, Krakauer explains and defends the protagonist’s actions from criticism making him appear as a character whose story is exceptional. However, the characterization of the protagonist as a follower of Thoreauvian ideals by means of a partial and romantic interpretation of Thoreau is misleading and does not provide us with a better understanding of the life of McCandless. Moreover, the romantic image of Thoreau advanced by Krakauer reflects Krakauer, or at least his times; particularly, it reflects Krakauer’s own view of wilderness and his concern for its impending demise. Consequently, I conclude that Krakauer’s version of McCandless’s story is perhaps too biased to amount to a strong historical narrative and be considered proper nonfiction. Nevertheless, the romanticized characterization of McCandless aids Krakauer to write a more appealing story.

This dissertation analyzes the discourse of three infotainment television shows built around their hosts – characters who have gained considerable importance and influence in their respective countries: American Jon Stewart (host of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart); British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen (the actor who incarnates the popular characters Borat, Bruno, and Ali G in the Da Ali G Show), and Peruvian Jaime Bayly (host of the Peruvian TV show El Francotirador/The Sniper). These three shows responded to their specific national, cultural, social, and political contexts, while simultaneously demonstrating important similarities: they parody journalistic genres while questioning traditional journalism authority and arbitrary media norms; they use humor to develop political, social, and cultural critiques; and they revolve around a talented character who is a media celebrity. Drawing upon theory and literature related to media spectacle, infotainment, tabloidization, celebrity, and the carnivalesque, this research analyzes the three media characters’ discourse and critiques within their respective national and cultural contexts in order to understand their role in those societies and how they negotiate discursive power in the public sphere. This analysis also seeks to reveal how Stewart challenges the mainstream news media by exposing the difficulties of debate in the U.S.; how the subaltern voices of Ali G, Bruno, and Borat position Sacha Baron Cohen to confront hegemonic culture and identity; and how ambiguity and contradiction allow Bayly to be a transgressor in a society where entertainment has a particular political history. This research establishes commonalities and differences among these three representative cases in relation to the broader, global phenomenon of satiric infotainment, and introduces the notion of “critical infotainment” to characterize this satiric trend that combines entertainment, comedy, journalism, popular culture, and politics to develop social critique. Critical infotainment is interpreted as a result of and a transgressive reaction to the process of tabloidization and the cult of celebrity in the media spectacle era. Finally, this dissertation includes recommendations for future critical infotainment experiments to fill the gap left by the traditional press in today’s mediascape. / text

The idea of poor of God's Sacrament has been transmitted for a long tradition. This tradition appears again in the Prophetic Christianism of the Theology of Libertation, especially in Jon Sobrino. We tried to put some aditional informations for a new hermeneutic of "poor" not as a sociological category, but as a Sacrament. The symbolic reason, in Jon Sobrino, is characterized for the gratuity; his symbolic fight tries to change the categories of observation and cares of the social world, the cognitive and evaluates structures. This work is based in four moments. The first one has the focus on some questions about methodology and theory of research, mainly in the Theory of symbolic power, social space and symbolic violence in Pierre Bourdieu, that will be used to understand the "poor" in Jon Sobrino. In the second moment we will check as many as possible the word "poor" in the symbolic theory of domination according to Pierre Bourdieu. In the third moment, we will try to analyze the representations about poverty based on some representants of Theology's Libertation, in Latin America, connecting them with Jon Sobrino. Finally, we will check the semantic transformation of the word "poor" in Principle on Mercy / Examinamos, neste trabalho, o sentido do termo "pobre" na obra O princípio misericórdia de Jon Sobrino, a partir do pensamento do sociólogo Pierre Bourdieu. A ideia do pobre como sacramento de Deus vem sendo transmitida por longa tradição. Essa tradição volta a aparecer no cristianismo profético da teologia da libertação especialmente em Jon Sobrino. Procurei inferir subsídios para uma nova hermenêutica do pobre, não mais como uma categoria sociológica, porém como sacramento. A razão simbólica em Jon Sobrino se caracteriza pela gratuidade, sua luta simbólica tenta mudar as categorias de percepção e apreciação do mundo social, as esruturas cognitivas e de avaliação. Quatro momentos dão estrutura a esta dissertação. O primeiro enfocará as questões de ordem teórico-metodológica da pesquisa, especificamente a teoria do poder simbólico, espaço social e violência simbólica em Pierre Bourdieu, que serão utilizadas para compreender o conteúdo da categoria "pobre" em Jon Sobrino. O segundo momento verificará os possíveis sentidos do termo pobre a partir da teoria da dominação simbólica em Pierre Bourdieu. No terceiro momento, analisaremos as diversas representações sobre a pobreza, na produção de alguns teólogos da libertação na América latina, articulando com o sentido dado por Jon Sobrino. E, por fim, no quarto momento, verificaremos as transformações semânticas do termo pobre em O Princípio Misericórdia

In this essay Jon Fosse’s novel Trilogien is explored through the lens of Sigmund Freud’s well-known paper titled “Das Unheimliche”. Fosse has a significant style of writing, which is argued to have a vital influence on the content, specifically the characters and the time. The reading of Freud’s text helps to illuminate the ways in which Fosse’s story is operating on multiple levels at once. The first chapter of the analysis concerns the characters of the book, and how they can be understood by the motif of the double brought from Freud’s essay. It seems that the subject's whole being, and the story alike, is gliding. Subjects aren’t fixed in the world of Trilogien, and with the double motif we understand how that is contributing to the uncanniness felt when reading the book. Time is also not truly reliable here, it is more relative and elastic than the external world. Occurrences keep happening over and over, which are analyzed through Freud’s motif of repetition. When applied, we can see how the legacy of the family and the trauma of experience gives an explanation of how time functions in Trilogien. Lastly, the chapter of form is connected to both of the earlier chapters. Just like subjects and time are repeated, so is the text in itself with sentences being almost circular rather than linear. The story is having a hard time getting through all the worldly repetition, which seems to spill over into the content itself, creating a holistic being whose parts are drifting into each other.

This study integrates three independent subjects-translation theory, Mandarin aspect, and Greek aspect-for the purpose of formulating a working theory applicable to translating the New Testament. Aspect is treated here as a grammatical category-as opposed to Aktionsart-and is described as the locutionary agent's subjective viewpoint expressed morphologically by a verb. The primary objectives are defined in terms of grammatical translation of Greek aspect into Mandarin aspect at the discourse level. However, major Bible translation issues pertaining to lexical, phonological, formal, and functional elements, as well as translating conditional statements and figurative speech, are also considered. A historical overview of the Chinese Bible is provided as a way of introducing major issues related to linguistic, conceptual, and logistical challenges. Porter's tripartite model of aspect in Greek, defined in terms of the binary oppositions [±perfective], and [+imperfective] vs. [+stative], is adopted. Aspect in Mandarin closely resembles that in Greek, except that the privative opposition [±remote] does not exist in Mandarin. Also, unlike the tense-forms in Greek, morphologically expressed aspect morphemes (e.g. -le, IDVCs) are largely optional in Mandarin. Thus, notions of markedness and grounding become pertinent when the 0 morpheme is used instead of morphologically expressed aspect morphemes to translate all five tense-forms in Greek: the more heavily marked disyllabic verbs are preferable in translating the present and imperfect, whereas the less heavily marked monosyllabic verbs are preferable to translate the aorist. The most heavily marked four-character set phrases are utilized to reflect both the stative aspect and discourse function ofthe perfect and pluperfect as frontgrounding tense-forms. It is argued that morphologically expressed perfective and imperfective aspect morphemes are preferable to the 0 morpheme. The more heavily marked two-morpheme aspect compounds (e.g. zai...-zhe) are employed to reflect the foregrounded prominence indicated by the present and imperfect tense-forms. The proposed theory provides the translator with a powerful tool, which is tested in the two sample passages in John 18-19 and 1 Corinthians 15. Provided also are critical reviews of over sixty Chinese Bible versions, Nestorian, Manichaean, Catholic documents, and a translation written according to the proposed theory. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

M.A. University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Humanities, 2012. / Humanity’s relationship with nature has, in recent years, undoubtedly been one of contention and turmoil, an issue whose drama is gaining popularity in popular culture and, especially, film. In this dissertation I examine how these challenging human-nature relationships play out in Terrence Malick’s The New World, Werner Herzog’s Grizzly Man and Encounters at the End of the World, Sean Penn’s Into the Wild, and the Jon Krakauer book, of the same title, upon which Penn’s film is based. As one’s views on nature (like all else) are mediated through language, using ecocritical principles slanted towards filmic, as opposed to written, texts, I provide a close examination of the ways in which these artists portray the relationship between language and nature, and the impact this has on our cultural and individual identities. I will also show how these primary texts make use of centuries-old Romantic aesthetics in order to humanise nature for moral ends. The primary texts agree that a large part of the problem in the poor relationship between humanity and nature is due to inadequate metaphors with which humanity views the earth. Thus, each artist promotes a certain kind of anthropomorphic understanding of nature which he believes is pivotal in encouraging better interconnections between humanity and nature. As a result, I provide a critique of the kinds of metaphors used by each respective artist, where some metaphors of nature may support or contradict a certain artist’s aims in his portrayal of human-nature relationships.
