Understanding Christian conversion in a black township parish

Hlatshwayo, Bafana Gilbert 11 1900 (has links)
This is a hermeneutical study of an attempt to inculturate a Redemptorist parish mission in a black township parish. The purpose of Redemptorist parish mission is conversion and renewal. This study is influenced by - - the spirit of St. Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787) founder of the Redemptorists - Vatican II (1962-1965) and by - the African Synod (1994); and it uses the systemic stage model of Rambo and the spiral model of Costas, as a framework to understand conversion. The conversion experiences of ten parishioners of St. Peter's parish are used as data for the study. A theological reflection on the ten conversions confirmed the following: that cultural context is important for understanding conversion; that conversion is both a distinct moment and a continuous process; that it is imperative to understand conversion from the perspective of the convert him/herself. For 'mission preaching' to effect genuine conversion it must be inculturated. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / Th. M. (Missiology)

No. of bitstreams: 1 Ambiel_AureaHelenadeJesus_D.pdf: 16067202 bytes, checksum: 62a0b51ee340c1cc3d3ef9f5ccbfd44b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010 / Resumo: Em Musica Poética (1606) , Joachim Burmeister oferece a primeira proposta de análise formal em música . A sua metodologia analítica tem um direcionamento retórico- musical e compreende a divisão em cinco categorias: "(1) investigação do modo; (2) investigação do gênero melódico; (3) investigação do tipo de polifonia; (4) consideração da qualidade; (5) secionamento da peça em afetos ou períodos" (BURMEISTER, ([1606] 1993, p.201). O presente trabalho propõe a análise da obra Lamentationes Jeremiae Prophetae de Orlando Di Lasso, segundo a sua quinta categoria. A sua aplicação nesta obra de Lasso pode revelar o valor da análise. A intenção inicial do autor, antes de mais nada, era pedagógica: ele tencionava ensinar os jovens músicos a compor, utilizando como meio: o estudo, a observação e a imitação dos recursos engenhosos empregados na obra pelos grandes mestres (emulação). A aplicação desta quinta categoria coloca o analista numa posição que diz respeito também ao intérprete: é preciso encontrar nas diversas partes do discurso musical os afetos sugeridos pelo compositor. Através da análise é possível recriar a atmosfera afetiva da obra, oferecendo uma importante ferramenta para a interpretação, com profundidade e acuidade estilística / Abstract: In Musica Poetica (1606) Joachim Burmeister offers the first proposal of a formal analysis in music. His analytical methodology has a rhetoric-musical orientation and includes a five-category division: "(1) investigation of the mode; (2) investigation of the melodic genus; (3) investigation of the type of polyphony; (4) consideration of the quality; (5) sectioning of the piece into affections or periods" (BURMEISTER, [1606] 1993, p. 201). This dissertation aims to analyse Lamentationes Jeremiae Prophetae by Orlando Di Lasso in accordance with Burmeister's fifth category. The application of his fifth category on Lasso's work can reveal the value of this analytical method. Initially the authors's intention was pedagogic. He wanted to teach young musicians how to write music using the study, observation and imitation of inventive resources employed by great masters (emulation). Nowadays the application of this fifth category puts the music analyst on a par with the music performer. It is necessary to find out first the affect suggested by the composer among the several parts of the musical discourse. Through the utilization of this fifth category it is possible to recreate the affective atmosphere of the work. At the same time it can provide the performer an important tool to help in the interpretation of the work with depth and a keener sense of historical stylistic acuity / Doutorado / Doutor em Música

Esta tese teve como principal objetivo um estudo sobre a preparação e a execução desta obra sob a ótica do regente, embasado por um conjunto de pesquisas adjacentes que proporcionassem um suporte teórico, como análise musical, textual e a relação entre ambos, contextualização histórica da obra e do compositor, além do levantamento das dificuldades encontradas durante o processo de execução da obra, partindo da aplicação prática da proposta apresentada. Devido à dificuldade de se encontrar uma edição ideal, foi necessário confeccionar uma nova partitura da obra que pudesse ser utilizada tanto como base para esse estudo como para a sua execução. Assim, o segundo volume apresenta uma nova edição, crítica e revisada, de Lagrime di San Pietro / Abstract: Lagrime di San Pietro is among the most significant works in the huge production of Orlando di Lasso, consisting of a set of twenty Spiritual Madrigals and a Motet. This thesis aimed to a study on the preparation and performance of the work from the conductor's perspective, based on a set of adjacent researches that provide a theoretical foundation and practical implementation of the proposals, such as musical and textual analysis and the relationship between both, a historical background of the work and the composer, and a survey of the difficulties found during the performance of the work, based on the implementation of the proposal. Given the difficulty of finding a right edition, it was necessary to prepare a new score of the work which could be used both as the basis for this study and for its performance. Thus, the second volume presents a new reviewed and critical edition of Lagrime di San Pietro / Doutorado / Praticas Interpretativas / Doutora em Música

Hacia Cervantes : confluence of the “Byzantine” and the chivalric literary traditions in the Quijote

Meierhoffer, Lynn Vaulx 22 June 2011 (has links)
Miguel de Cervantes’s novel El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha Part One (1605) and Part Two (1615) has delighted readers for centuries. The literary criticism analyzing just this one product of Cervantes’s literary genius is voluminous. In particular, the novel’s structure has received significant scrutiny, and discussions regarding its unity, or lack thereof, abound. This debate rages today with Cervantine experts still espousing various theories. Puzzling over this quandary and asking why a truly convincing explanation regarding the structure has not emerged, we arrive at a partial answer. We believe that there is unity in the Quijote and that Cervantes created a unified work by ingeniously taking full advantage of the elements of both the “Byzantine” and the chivalric literary traditions, combining them in a harmonizing synthesis. Moreover, he resolved the problem of unity within variety by establishing thematic consistency throughout. The purpose of our study is to explore the confluence of the “Byzantine” and chivalric literary traditions in works that precede Cervantes and to examine how Cervantes innovatively worked with this element in the Quijote of 1605. We present a panoramic view of works written between the thirteenth and the mid-sixteenth centuries, which reveal writers’ efforts to combine, consciously or unconsciously, the various characteristics of the “Byzantine” and chivalric literary traditions. For this project, we look at six representative works written in Spanish or Italian that represent significant antecedents to the Quijote and Cervantes’s unique method of synthesizing the traditions: Libro de Apolonio, Libro del caballero Zifar, Orlando innamorato, Orlando furioso, Palmerín de Olivia, Los amores de Clareo y Florisea y los trabajos de la sin ventura Isea. We investigate each author’s approach at coupling the two traditions and determine his/her degree of success in merging them artistically to produce a coherent whole. Our analysis reveals that not only does Cervantes systematically integrate the two literary traditions in his parody, but he also skillfully devises a way to unify thematically the delightful variety in his work. To wit, Cervantes embraces the theme of literature (fiction) and life (reality) and explores the need for distinguishing judiciously between them. / text

Food, fantasy, and the spectacle: the role of food and illusion at the wizarding world of harry potter

Unknown Date (has links)
Each year over 300 million people visit theme parks, making them the major vacation destination worldwide. Theme parks are known for their elaborate spectacle, the creation of artificial realities through intricate immersive experiences including costumed characters, stage shows, and extravagant decor. Though many aspects of the theme park experience have been reviewed, little focus has been given to the role of food in the overall immersion, particularly how food extends the spectacle into a fantastical created reality. This study examined the function of food within a highly immersive theme park setting, and how it contributed to the overall illusion and immersion of the fantasy environment. Research was conducted from December 2014 to March 2015 at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Universal Orlando Resort themed food served three overarching functions: (1) it operated as an experience, (2) it functioned as a conduit to authenticity, and, (3) it extended sensory perceptions. Food immersed tourists in the themed experience, though visual cues remained the primary sensory stimulus. However, guests considered the location to be more authentic when coupled with a themed food item, as opposed to the generic food choices found in other parks. Themed food functions as an extension of the spectacle by maintaining the illusion and contributes to the overall exhibition of the themed space. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015 / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Counterpoint, 'fuge', and 'air' in the instrumental music of Orlando Gibbons

Oddie, Jonathan J. January 2015 (has links)
This thesis develops an analytical approach to the instrumental music of Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625) based on close readings of historical theory sources, primarily by Thomas Morley, John Coprario and Thomas Campion. Music of the early seventeenth century can be difficult to analyse, since it falls between the more extensively studied and theorised practices of classic vocal polyphony and common-practice tonality. Although English music theory of this period is recognised as strikingly modern in many respects, innovative aspects of English compositions from the same period receive little attention in standard accounts of the seventeenth century. I argue that concepts taken from this body of historical theory provide the basic terms of a technical vocabulary for analysis, which should be further refined through application to real compositions. Successive chapters deal with common counterpoint models or patterns, imitative invention and disposition, cadential progressions, and overall tonal structure. I argue that these analyses show Gibbons's music to be a contribution to new ways of conceiving of instrumental polyphony and tonal structure, which deserves re-evaluation in the context of broader seventeenth-century trends. In particular, Gibbons's use of extended cadential expectations as an expressive element, fascination with sequential progressions, and sectional structuring by harmonic area have clear parallels with later practices. At the same time, early seventeenth century style allows the composer considerably more freedom of harmonic procedures and implications than the musical styles which immediately followed it. Analysis grounded in historical theory provides the best approach to understanding and appreciating this unique musical language.
