Through small- and large-scale sculpture works based on the house, projected images of family photographs, and drawings based on collected data, I am investigating the connections between place, time, and memory. I am asking the questions: How do we revisit the past in our daily lives? How do we connect our immaterial and ephemeral experiences to the physical world? What can we learn and better understand by investigating these relationships?

[pt] O Concílio de Calcedônia, o quarto Ecumênico da Igreja, ocorrido em 451, professa e define solenemente a plena humanidade e a plena divindade de Jesus Cristo, Verbo eterno encarnado, articuladas em sua única Pessoa. O grande iniciador da controvérsia que levará à convocação do concílio é o sacerdote Êutiques, que objetivando refutar a heresia de Nestório, cai no erro oposto: o monofisismo. É a partir daí que o concílio de Calcedônia produz uma fórmula dogmática ainda hoje atual. Com efeito, a presente dissertação, através de uma abordagem histórico-teológica, discorre sobre o tema da cristologia do concílio de Calcedônia partindo da cristologia que lhe é precedente, passando por sua fórmula dogmática até tratar da atualidade do tema no estudo da cristologia contemporânea. / [en] Council of Chalcedon, fourth ecumenical council of Catholic Church, taken place in 451, professes and defines solemnly the Jesus Christ s wide humanity and wide divinity, eternal incarnated Logos, combined in just one Person. The responsible for all the controversy that will be the key to the Council is the presbyter Eutyches, whose ideas to refuse Nestorian heresy fell in the opposite mistake: monophysitism. From that moment on, the Council creates a dogmatic formula, still current. The present dissertation, throughout a historical and theological approach, developes the Christology theme of Council of Chalcedon, from preceeded Christology, through its dogmatic formula, until the currency of the theme in the analyzation of contemporain Christology.

This thesis sought to explore the lifeways of second-millennium AD inhabitants of Great Zimbabwe through the analyses of material objects housed in museums. Great Zimbabwe comprises walled stone enclosures and non-walled settlements covering approximately 720ha. A number of data acquisition techniques, such as desktop survey, analyses of museum collections, supplementary field survey and excavations, were employed to collect relevant datasets to address the research questions. The sampling strategy adapted for this research enabled the study of material objects from different components making up Great Zimbabwe. The main conclusions drawn from this study are as follows: (i) Within varying temporal scales, the nature and distribution of local and imported objects are largely similar across the site; (ii) chronologically and typologically speaking, there is evidence that different parts of the site were occupied and abandoned at different times; and (iii) based on the similarities in material objects and associated production debris and infrastructure, it is likely that different components were self-sufficient units. This study has underscored the significance of existing collections in developing new interpretations of Great Zimbabwe's past lifeways, thereby motivating for the need for similar work to understand the hundreds of similar settlements scattered across southern Africa.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Esta dissertaÃÃo aborda o comportamento semÃntico-discursivo do Aspecto verbal nas formas simples dos tempos: PretÃrito Perfeito e PretÃrito Imperfeito do modo Indicativo, em um corpus de seis inquÃritos do Banco de Dados PORCUFORT - PortuguÃs Oral Culto de Fortaleza. A fundamentaÃÃo teÃrica deste trabalho retoma algumas das principais pesquisas feitas, anteriormente, a respeito do Aspecto verbal; um estudo que trata da maneira como esta categoria à vista dentro da SemÃntica e do Discurso; alÃm da questÃo da referÃncia desta categoria no discurso e dos elementos lingÃÃsticos que, geralmente, auxiliam na sua caracterizaÃÃo, como: os circunstanciadores temporais e os argumentos do verbo. Na metodologia, apresentamos os fatores de anÃlise, quais sejam: parÃmetros de transitividade, tipos de verbo, figura e fundo e tipos de interpretaÃÃo. Assim, conseguimos perceber que esta categoria verbal possui caracterÃsticas semÃntico-discursivas que sÃo condicionadas nÃo apenas pela forma lexical ou morfÃmica dos verbos, mas tambÃm pelos argumentos que os acompanham e pelo contexto discursivo no qual estÃo inseridos. / This paper approaches the semantic-discursive behavior of the verbal Aspect in the simple forms of the tenses: Perfect Past and Imperfect Past of the Indicative mode, in a corpus of six inquiries of the database PORCUFORT - PortuguÃs Oral Culto de Fortaleza. The theoretical chapters of this work retake some of the main researches made, previously, regarding the verbal Aspect; a study that adopts the way as this category is seen inside of the Semantics and of the Speech; in addition to the subject of the reference of this category in the speech and of the linguistic elements that, generally, that aid in its characterization, like the adverbs of time and the verbs argument. In the methodology, we show the analysis factors, they are: parameters of transitivity, verb types, foreground and background, and interpretation types. Thus, we have noticed that this verbal category possesses semantic-discursive characteristics that are not just conditioned by the morphological or lexical form of the verbs, but also by the arguments that accompany them, and by the discursive context in which they are inserted.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationships among accepting and reminiscing the past, attachment dimensions, and autobiographical memory. University students (N=182) participated to the study (105 women, 77 men). The relationships among attachment anxiety, avoidance, accepting and reminiscing the past, and autobiographical memory were examined within the context of emotionally charged memories and the phenomenological properties of the recalled autobiographical memories, such as the recollection, coherence, and persistence of the reported memories. Results revealed that attachment anxiety significantly predicted the visceral reactions to emotional memories, the vividness and negative valence of the recalled memories, overall the affective aspects of autobiographical memories. Results also indicated that attachment anxiety was a reliable predictor of accepting the past. The interaction between attachment anxiety and avoidance has also a predictive effect on the specifity of memory (specifity of the memory to the person) and vividness, When the patterns of the interaction effect were examined, it was observed that individuals with high attachment anxiety and avoidance (i.e. fearful attachment) reported high scores in specifity, vividness, and cognitive properties of the recalled memories than individuals with low anxiety and high avoidance (i.e., dismissive attachment), suggesting that dismissing individuals repress their memories and fearful hyperactivate them. Attachment avoidance has a significant predictive effect on recollection. Examination of the effect of the accepting the past on the phenomenological properties of autobiographical memory indicated that accepting the past significantly predicted positive and negative valence, perspective, and visceral reactions. Partially supporting the hypotheses, these results suggested that attachment anxiety, but not avoidance has a consistent effect on the affective aspects of autobiographical memory. Findings were discussed on the basis of the literature on both attachment and autobiographical memory.

This paper will propose a generative analysis of McDavid's dialect verb forms. The concepts of Chomsky and Halle as presented in SPE form the framework for this study.

This thesis dealt with the English pluperfect in the Czech-English direction of translation. The aim of this thesis was to identify indices/motives leading to the use of the past perfect in the English translation, which could be found in the underlying Czech clauses. 200 examples and their English translational equivalents were analysed. Intercorp was used for excerption. It is an online parallel corpus tool made and run by Český národní korpus (Czech National Corpus). After the examples were excerpted, the complete parts of the Czech texts (used for excerption) were analysed. I tried to assess the constructions that should be translated by the past perfect myself. This should help to identify the Czech indices/motives leading to the use of the pluperfect in the English translation. My accuraccy in assessing the Czech constructions translated by the pluperfect was 38.5% (I managed to identify 77 out 200 examples found in the corpus). The examples found in the corpus were later classified according to the supposed reason for the use of the past perfect in the English translation, found in the Czech original. The groups were as follows: An adverbial or another lexical device contributing to specification of temporal relations (72 examples, 36%), Hypothetical past meaning (11 examples, 5.5%),...

Student Number : 0318263P - MA research report - Faculty of Humanities / This is an historical documentary about an individual’s remarkable journey, one which starts in Durban in 1957 and ends with the protagonist’s arrival in London later the same year before he would subsequently move to Oslo in 1961. The documentary is intended primarily for a South African television audience. As such, it is a history to be apprehended visually rather than in writing, and to a large and heterogeneous, though primarily South African audience. The documentary is actually about two journeys: the physical overland African passage to Europe with its various episodes, and the journey of an ambitious young adult from a humble and disadvantaged background with only a primary school education. It culminates with him gaining acceptance for study of medicine at a Norwegian university, where he would eventually qualify as a doctor and later as a psychiatrist. Though set against the backdrop of the emerging political opposition to apartheid, the documentary is a somewhat depoliticised personal history – the biographical narrative of an old man who accomplished something in his youth which altered his whole life. It is not primarily a political history, nor is it a narrative about the experience of exile. The documentary attempts to locate a historical and spatial context from where the protagonist emerged, but does not attempt to portray the history of South African Indians as a racial or cultural group, per se.

Literature has shown that assessment has various purposes in education, ranging from establishing the starting point, to monitoring and evaluation, while the role of assessment in supporting learning is yet to be explored. In this study I explore the influence of assessment on teaching in the Lesotho junior certificate science curriculum. I achieve this by exploring the nature tools of summative assessment, teachers’ views on these tools and how teachers engage the tools once they have served the summative assessment purpose. In exploring the nature of tools of assessment I conducted a documentary analysis of junior certificate science papers written over three years, and obtained teachers’ views on the papers and their uses through a questionnaire and a focus group interview. The study is predominantly qualitative and interpretive and is informed by three theories; curriculum theory; which explains the cyclic relationship of the curriculum elements, Bloom’s taxonomy which guides the drawing of educational objectives and construction of tools of assessment and social theories explaining reflection on and understanding of one’s social practices. Analysis of the past examination papers showed that they are relatively valid for the syllabus for which they are designed, though there are some discrepancies. Teachers find the questions in the examination papers appropriate for use in teaching, though they need to be simplified at times. The question papers also assess the understanding of science in the context of life around the learner. The uses to which teachers put past examination papers range from planning to testing and the most common uses are teaching and testing. According to the findings, past examination papers do have an influence on what teachers select for teaching and how they approach what they have selected. Further recommendations that I can make on the basis of this study are; that teachers can derive themes for action research from which they can build pedagogical content knowledge for various topics. Finally, they can also be used as a source of a variety of tasks for learners.
