英國女劇作家渥坦貝克(Timeberlake Wertenbaker) 筆下著名的《夜鶯之愛》 (The Love of the Nightingale) 在近年來獲得多方批評家的討論。大多數的批評家總以政治及性別的角度探討這部劇作中呈現女性如何成為男性暴力下的受害者。然而，本論文將採用德勒茲 (Gilles Deleuze) 和瓜塔里 (Félix Guattari) 的去疆域化 (deterritorialization)、生成動物 (becoming-animal)、再疆域化 (reterritorialization)、及少數文學 (the minor literature) 的理論概念，重新剖析渥坦貝克如何透過翻譯 (translation)、互文性 (intertextuality)、變形 (transformation) 書寫等寫作策略，彰顯普洛克涅 (Procne) 及菲勒美拉 (Philomele) 如何在受盡錯置及語言喪失的苦痛後，找到越界的可能性。在德勒茲和瓜塔里的理論架構之下，本論文的第一章節將先詮釋普洛克涅及菲勒美拉如何離開父系體制，並藉由逃逸路線 (lines of flight) 展開去疆域化的旅程，並在去疆域化的過程中面臨到未知的危險及機會。再者，論文中也探討普洛克涅及菲勒美拉的動物變形可以被視為她們僭越傳統意識型態束縛的証據。在經歷過生成動物 (becoming-animal) 的過程之後，普洛克涅及菲勒美拉改變了她們對於原生社會及世界的態度及看法。最後，普洛克涅及菲勒美拉的再疆域化帶領她們到另一個新的疆界，釋放女性內心的忿怒及慾望。在新的疆域中，女性們發現到另一個新的出口，重新探索流動性主體的存在，挑戰有機體式的國家體制。 / Timberlake Wertenbaker’s The Love of the Nightingale (1989) is the preeminent play of translation which calls many critics’s attention. Based on the myth of Procne and Philomele, The Love of the Nightingale is always discussed by critics from the political and sexual perspectives to show how women become the powerless victims under the male violence. However, in this thesis, I would like to use Deleuze and Guattari’s concepts of deterritorializaion, becoming-animal, and reterritorialization to analyze how Procne and Philomele find out the possibility of transgression from the suffering dislocation and dispossession of language through Wertenbaker’s dramaturgy of translation, intertextuality, and transformation. Applying Deleuze’s and Guattari’s theories to analyze The Love of the Nightingale, I would first show how Procne and Philomele obtain the chances to leave the patriarchical territory, beginning their deterritorialization to encounter unknown risks and chances via lines of flight. After the deterritorialization, Procne’s and Philomele’s physical metamorphosis could be regarded as the evidence of how they traverse the presupposed ideological system. In the process of becoming-animal, Procne and Philomele change their attitudes and perspectives toward their cultures and the world. Later, they are reterritorialized to another territory, releasing their desire and anger. In the new territory, they could find another way to search fluid identities and to challenge the state apparatus.

The Blue Penguin (Eudyptula minor) is assumed to be declining over much of its range, largely due to introduced predators. Anecdotal evidence suggests that one of the areas of declining population is the West Coast of the South Island. The purpose of this study was to determine the reasons for the assumed decline of blue penguins in South Westland. This was done by studying breeding ecology at several blue penguin colonies to assess the importance of breeding success and adult mortality on the penguin population. Three blue penguin colonies in South Westland, at Five Mile and Three Mile beaches south of Okarito, and at the Wanganui River mouth near Harihari, were monitored throughout the 2008/09 breeding season. During each burrow visit the number of eggs and chicks were recorded as well as the date of laying, hatching or fledging. Five colonies of blue penguin were also monitored in Buller over the same breeding season in a study conducted by the West Coast Blue Penguin Trust, a community trust based on the West Coast. The results of both studies were compared to determine the effect of predator control on breeding parameters, such as breeding success. Of 137 eggs laid in South Westland, 108 chicks survived until fledging, giving an overall breeding success of 78.8%. In Buller, 64 chicks survived to fledging from 101 eggs laid, resulting in an overall breeding success of 63.4%. Breeding success was significantly higher at penguin colonies in South Westland, compared to the Buller colonies. There was no evidence that predator control had an effect on breeding success in South Westland or Buller. The mean number of chicks fledged per pair that produced eggs was 1.55 in South Westland and 1.16 in Buller. The overall proportion of occupied breeding burrows compared to the total number of suitable burrows at the South Westland sites was 73.8% (n = 103). At the Buller sites, only 60.3 % (n = 151) of the total number of burrows was occupied. Road kills are a major threat to blue penguins in Buller due to the proximity of colonies to the state highway. Fortunately, incidences of road death in South Westland are rare and due to the distance from roads, do not pose a significant threat to South Westland blue penguins. Further study of blue penguin colonies in South Westland is needed to learn more about annual variation in breeding productivity and to determine if breeding success is consistently high over an extended time period. If this is the case, then the cause of blue penguin decline on the West Coast is unlikely to be due to problems with breeding as the breeding success during this study is one of the highest recorded for blue penguins. Although there was no apparent effect of predator control on breeding productivity during this study there is evidence from other locations that predators, in particular stoats, have contributed to the decline of blue penguin populations. More research into the impact of predators on penguins over a longer period of time is needed on the West Coast before a change is made to how predators are managed.

La recherche doit d’abord étudier les divisions et subdivisions civiques en Ionie, en Carie, à Rhodes et dans les îles proches du continent à l’époque hellénistique et montrer les évolutions entre la période antérieure à Alexandre et les débuts de la domination romaine. Dans le monde grec, les citoyens étaient répartis en grands groupes héréditaires : les tribus (phylai) et les phratries (phratriai). Ces institutions représentaient le fondement de l’organisation politique. La recherche doit montrer ensuite si la parenté joue encore un rôle dans la répartition des divisions et subdivisions civiques dans les cités d’Asie Mineure de l’époque hellénistique puisque le principe d’affiliation héréditaire semble avoir été la règle, l’affiliation en fonction de la résidence étant semble-t-il un phénomène assez tardif. Les membres de ces tribus considèrent qu’ils descendent d’un ancêtre commun, le plus souvent mythique. Leurs subdivisions sont souvent des phratries qui sont des associations qui regroupent plusieurs familles considérées par ses membres comme apparentées. Il s’agit enfin de montrer les ressemblances et les différences en ce qui concerne les divisions et les subdivisions civiques dans les différentes cités d’Asie Mineure occidentale à l’époque hellénistique. On peut étudier ainsi comment fonctionne le statut de citoyenneté en fonction de l’appartenance aux corps civiques. On peut également se demander comment se fait l’exercice des droits de citoyen, probablement différent d’une cité à l’autre et qui doit même évoluer au cours de la période considérée. Cette étude doit faire la part entre ce qui relève du rôle des divisions et subdivisions civiques dans le fonctionnement des cités et ce qui concerne uniquement l’organisation interne de ces institutions en tant que structures politiques. / Research has first to study civil divisions and subdivisions in Western Asian Minor cities at Hellenistic times and then show the changes between the pre-Alexander time and the birth of Roman domination. In the Greek world, citizens were divided into large groups: the tribes (phylai) and the phratries (phratriai). Those institutions were the basis of political organization. Then research has to show if kinship plays any role in the repartition of civil divisions and subdivisions in Western Asian Minor cities at Hellenistic times, since the principle of hereditary kinship seems to have been the norm; residential affiliation being, so it seems, a late phenomenon. Those tribe members consider they are descended from a common ancestor, most often a mythic character. Their subdivisions are often phratries which are associations that gather together several Families whose members consider they are kins. Last we have to show the similitudes and differences as to civil divisions and subdivisions in the different Western Asian Minor cities at Hellenistic Times. Thus we can study how citizenship status works in accordance to civil bodies. We may also wonder how citizens could exercise their rights, rights which were probably different from one city to the other and that surely developed in the said period. This study has to make allowances for what is from the role of civil divisions and subdivisions in the way cities are run and for what only concerns the inner organization of those institutions in matters of political structures.

This dissertation focuses on issues of domestic violence (also known as domestic abuse) against men. It looks into the issue why male victims are not taken seriously by the Czech police forces. Domestic violence against men is less common than domestic violence against women. However those males affected by domestic abuse often struggle to find support in society and in the Czech law. They are often left to deal with the problems on their own. In many cases male victims are not treated seriously by society and police forces. It is very important to highlight this issue in society and find support by the Czech government. Abuse against men should be taken as seriously as violence on female victims. The focus should be on early intervention and prevention.

The issue of the enforcement of judgments in family cases is of a specific nature and differs from the enforcement of other civil law decisions by the specific legal regulation and the nature of the subject matter of the enforcement of decisions, where the subject matter are persons, especially minors, and not thed pecuniary and non-pecuniary performance as in other cases of enforcement. In connection with the recodification of private substantive law, a new Act No. 292/2013 Coll., on Special court proceedings, which contains special legal regulations on the enforcement of judgments in matters of protection against domestic violence and in matters of custody of minors, was adopted. At the same time, Act No. 99/1963 Coll., The Code of Civil Procedure, was novelized and remained a subsidiary act. This thesis deals with special procedures for the enforcement of judgements in family cases, which we find in the second part of the fifth section of the Special court proceedings Act. In the first chapter, the thesis deals with the issue of civil proceedings, the enforcement proceedings and execution of decisions, with emphasis on its development, principles, functions and legal regulations. The second chapter focuses on the enforcement of judgements in family cases and on their specifics. The third chapter...

The dissertation is a critical reflection on the relevance of Franciscan spirituality over eight centuries with special focus on the Third Order Regular. This spirituality is rooted in the life and writings of St Francis and St Clare of Assisi and their experience of the kenotic Christ. The Franciscan charism prevails in the world today as a living response to God’s transforming love which is expressed in a ministry of loving service and solidarity with the poor and marginalised – re-enacting Francis’ radical conversion when he embraced the leper. The Third Order Regular, inspired by Vatican II which called for a return to the charism of religious founders, returned to its roots with the revised Rule of 1982 based on the writings of Francis and Clare and grounded in Sacred Scripture. The Rule’s vision corresponds with the 1996 document Vita Consecrata on consecrated life and its mission to be prophetic witnesses to Christ today. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M.

This measure is one of the sanctions applied to adolescents who have broken the law. The empirical field under analysis was the Assisted Conditional Release Community Program (LAC) developed by the Catholic Church’s organization Pastoral do Menor (PANEM) in the city of Fortaleza, State of Ceara, Brazil. The aim was to identify and evaluate configurations and meanings of that kind of action within a certain area of the Catholic Church; what were the practices and perceptions undertaken by the PAMEN’s agents, mainly by professionals from LAC; how this has an effect on the action and the kind of politics offered to targeted adolescents and other young people by the Program; and what is the role of the government in face of those relations and perceptions. This research has, therefore, an interface with the so-called areas covered by Public Policies for Infancy, Adolescence and Youth as well as Social Policies from the Catholic Church. Both institutions, government and Catholic Church, have their own rules and procedures and are influenced by several political and ideological disputes from which arise conflicts, tensions and negotiations related to the kind of discourse and actions to be adopted. Within this configuration one is to center attention upon the symbolic struggles (Bourdieu, 2003, 2005, 2008) that present hierarchies and connections involving the several agents and institutions in relation to the treatment given or that should be given to the these adolescents in their trajectories. / A presente pesquisa trata da execução da medida socioeducativa liberdade assistida, prevista no Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente. Tal medida é uma das sanções direcionadas aos adolescentes em conflito com a lei. O campo empírico analisado foi o Programa Liberdade Assistida Comunitária (LAC), pertencente à Pastoral do Menor (PAMEM) – organismo vinculado à Igreja Católica – no município de Fortaleza, no estado do Ceará – Brasil. O objetivo foi perceber e analisar quais as formas e os significados desse tipo de ação em um determinado setor da Igreja Católica; quais as práticas e percepções movidas pelos agentes que compõem a PAMEN, em especial, os profissionais da equipe do LAC; como isso influencia na atuação e no tipo de política ofertada aos adolescentes e jovens a quem o Programa se propõe atender; e quais as relações e percepções referentes ao poder público. Esta pesquisa possui, portanto, interface entre os chamados campos das Políticas Públicas para Infância, Adolescência e Juventude e o das Políticas Sociais da Igreja Católica. Ambos possuem regras e funcionamentos próprios e são formados por diversas disputas político-ideológicas, nas quais existem conflitos, tensões e negociações sobre os tipos de discursos e ações a serem adotados. Nesse contexto, ressalta-se que as lutas simbólicas (BOURDIEU, 2003, 2005, 2008) em relação ao tratamento dado ou que deveria ser proporcionado aos referidos adolescentes possuem hierarquias e conexões entre os diversos agentes e instituições envolvidos em suas trajetórias.

Fundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / Representados aualmente por apenas duas espécies: Latimeria chalumnae e L. menadoensis, os celacantos (Infraordem Actinistia) já foi muito mais numeroso, prolífico desde os tempos de seu surgimento no Devoniano Inferior. Dentro de Actinistia a família Mawsoniidae se destaca por abranger as maiores espécies do grupo, algumas atingindo até três metros de comprimento. A entrada de Mawsoniidae no continente Gondwana se deu durante o Jurássico superior, período o qual é atribuído a espécie Parnaibaia maranhoensis da bacia do Parnaíba (Maranhão). No cretáceo a família se ramificou em dois outros gêneros Mawsonia (com conhecidas ocorrências brasileiras e africanas) e Axelrodichthys (gênero brasileiro com alguns indícios de presença na África). Este trabalho teve por objetivo realizar uma redescrição e comparação de seis espécies do ramo gondwânico da família Mawsoniidae: Parnaibaia maranhoensis, Axelrodichthys araripensis, Mawsonia gigas, M. minor, M. lavocati e M. brasiliensis. Os espécimes estão depositados em oito instituições: três nacionais e cinco internacionais. Após uma criteriosa descrição anatômica dos exemplares caracteres foram selecionados para a realização de uma análise filogenética restrita ao grupo. Os resultados das observações anatômicas revelaram diversas estruturas ainda não descritas na literatura, incluindo o primeiro elemento medial do esqueleto apendicular de Mawsoniidae a ser observado, além de diversas diferenças e afinidades entre as seis espécies. P. maranhoensis apresentou um conjunto de caracteres plesiomórfico que foram interpretados como sendo o resultado de um evento de neotenia, algo inédito na literatura de celacantos. Todas as espécies do gênero Mawsonia apresentaram características diagnósticas que validam sua separação em espécies distintas. A análise filogenética resultou em duas árvores igualmente parcimoniosas. Ambas concordam com a posição de Parnaibaia na base do grupo. Mas diferem com relação à posição de A. araripensis e as espécies do gênero Mawsonia. Conclui-se que Parnaibaia é o gênero mais plesiomórfico do grupo, estando na base do ramo gondwânico da família. Axelrodichthys representa a ligação deste com as demais espécies do gênero. / Represented at the present with only two species: Latimeria chalumnae and Latimeria medadoensis, the coelacanth (Infraorder: Actinistia) were once a very numerous and prolific group since their dawn in the Lower Devonian. Amongst the Actinistia, the family Mawsoniidae stands out for harboring the biggest species in the group, some reaching three meters in length. The entry of the Mawsoniidae family on the Gondwana continent happened during Upper Jurassic, period attributed to the species Parnaibaia maranhoensis from the Parnaíba basin (Maranhão). During the Cretaceous, the family branched into two distinct genus: Mawsonia (known from Brazil and Africa) and Axelrodichthys (a Brazilian genus with unconfirmed African occurrences). The goal of this work was to make a redescription and comparison of six species of the Gondwana branch of the Mawsoniidae family: Parnaibaia maranhoensis, Axelrodichthys araripensis, Mawsonia gigas, M. minor, M. lavocati e M. brasiliensis. The specimens are located in eight institutions: three nationals and five internationals. After a thorough anatomical description of the specimens, characters were selected for a phylogenetic analysis, restricted to the group. The results of the anatomical observations revealed several structures not described in previous literature, including the first medial element of the appendicular skeleton of the Mawsoniidae family ever to be observed, aside from differences and affinities between the six species. P. maranhoensis presented a set of plesiomorfic characters that were interpreted as being the result of a neotenic event, something not yet described in the specialized literature. Every species of the genus Mawsonia showed diagnostic characters that validate their respective status as a distinctive species. The phylogenetic analysis resulted in two trees equally parsimonious. Both agreed with the position of Parnaibaia, at the base of the group. However, differ in relation to the position of Axelrodichthys as a genus separate from Mawsonia. It is concluded that Parnaibaia is the most plesiomorfic genus of the group being at the base of the Gondwana branch of the family. Axelrodichthys represents the link of Parnaibaia and the other species of the group.

This dissertation provides a comprehensive account of Martin Luther’s Hebrew translation in his academic mid-career. Apart from the Psalms, no book of the Hebrew Bible has yet been examined in any comprehensive manner in terms of Luther’s Hebrew translation. Moreover, research to date has predominantly focused on either ascertaining Luther’s personal Hebrew skills, or on identifying his sources for Hebrew knowledge. This dissertation furthers the scholarly understanding of Luther’s Hebrew by examining his Minor Prophets translation, one of the final pieces of his first complete translation of the Hebrew Bible. As part of the analysis, it investigates the relationship between philology and theology in his Hebrew translation, focusing specifically on one of the themes that dominated his interpretation of the Prophets: his concept of Anfechtung. Chapter 1 establishes the context of Luther’s academic mid-career Hebrew, providing a brief sketch of the history of his Minor Prophets translation, followed by an overview of the Hebrew resources in and around Wittenberg which he had to draw upon. Chapter 2 examines the role of the obscurity of the Hebrew text in his translation, and how this obscurity led to various types of contradictions and vacillations in his interpretations. Chapter 3 investigates the role that Luther’s sense of the semantic intensity of the Hebrew language played in his translation. Chapter 4 examines Luther’s use of “inner-biblical interpretation” – i.e. biblical quotations and references – to support, and moreover, to build his translations of the Hebrew texts. Finally, Chapter 5 examines the influence of Hebrew on Luther’s exploitation of the mystical tradition in his translation of the Minor Prophets. This dissertation, in short, shows that by mid-career, the impact of Hebrew on Luther’s Bible translation was immense and very diverse, more so than has been appreciated. It expands the frame of reference with which scholars can understand Luther’s Hebrew. It provides detailed analyses of many examples of his Hebrew translation which have never before been discussed or examined in any depth, and it provides hundreds of examples of his methodological handling of Hebrew translation issues. And it includes one of the most exhaustive analyses to date of three key philological challenges that confronted him in translating the Bible: Hebrew figures of speech, the Hebrew trope of repetition, and Hebrew transliteration. This dissertation also includes as an Appendix a substantial body of refined data from Luther’s Hebrew translation, which further illuminates the examples in this study, and facilitates additional analysis for future research.
