Cette thèse propose une contribution théorique et méthodologique pour l’étude de la constitution de l’identité dans les organisations. Elle présente le développement d’une conceptualisation originale du problème de la durée des identités, qui s’incarne à travers la tension stabilité-changement. L’identité, vue soit comme une réalité qui évolue au fil des changements, ou alors comme quelque chose qui perdure, est abondamment étudiée en communication organisationnelle. En effet, plusieurs auteurs mettent l’accent sur la dimension performative de l’identité au détriment de sa dimension stable et fixe. Je propose, dans cette thèse, que ces deux dimensions de l’identité sont l’objet d’une tension dialectique, et que la configuration et l’interprétation de narratifs identitaires par les individus en interaction permet d’effectuer la médiation entre ces deux aspects de l’identité (Ricoeur, 1990). La thèse s’efforce de montrer que la mise en tension des dimensions temporelles de l’identité permet par ailleurs de regarder la construction concomitante des identités personnelles, collectives et de l’organisation. À partir d’une méthode d’analyse élaborée à partir de la théorie de l’identité narrative de Paul Ricoeur (1990) et inspirée de l’analyse de conversation, je réalise une étude minutieuse de narratifs identitaires produits lors d’entrevues de groupe. Cette méthode a permis d’analyser simultanément et comme un tout le contenu textuel des narratifs ainsi que leur performance en contexte. Les données analysées proviennent d’un travail de recherche de terrain que j’ai réalisé en 2007 et 2008 auprès des employés de la division québécoise de la Gendarmerie royale du Canada. / This dissertation makes theoretical and methodological contributions to questions of identity construction in organizations. It does so by developing an original conceptualization of the problem of temporal dimensions of identity, made visible through the dialectical tension between stability and change. In the organizational communication literature, identity is either seen as something that evolves or as something that is stable through time. For instance, many authors adopt a performative stance to study identity, which makes it difficult to take into consideration fixity of identity. I postulate that these two dimensions of identity are in a dialectical tension and that the process of configuration and interpretation of narratives makes their mediation possible. Moreover, I demonstrate that keeping in tension temporal dimensions of identity through narratives makes it possible to study the concomitant construction of individual, collective and organizational identities. Using an analytical method drawn from Ricoeur’s theory of narrative identity (Ricoeur, 1995) as well as inspired by conversation analysis, I analyzed data drawn from group interviews with employees of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police conducted in 2007 and 2008. This method allowed me to simultaneously analyze textual and contextual aspects of identity narratives

In order to develop this theme, in first place, we seek to localize this study within the religion studies. We propose that hermeneutics can be a mediator among philosophy, theology, religion studies, and their respective approaches to religion. Next, we present exemplary how the discussions of philosophy, theology, and religion studies occur inside literature. We show also, briefly, how the problem of evil is placed as a theme of interest for philosophy and theology. At the end of this part, we present C. S. Lewis, the author whose work Out of the Silent Planet is the object of our study, and we expose the methodology of this thesis. In the second chapter, we discuss panoramically the problem of evil in philosophy and theology. Then, we present a panel with the major studies that examine the interface between the problem of evil and the works of C. S. Lewis. At the end of the chapter, we list the main categories/aspects of the problem of evil which are articulated in the apologetic approach of Lewis in The Problem of Pain, and that echoes in the fictional narrative of our object of study. The main categories/aspects of the problem of evil, which relate to the first volume of the Space Trilogy are: divine omnipotence, the fall of man, the human pain and the animal pain. In order to study the problem of evil in the literature, we seek in the literary philosophical hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur a model of analysis. We abstract from the work Time and Narrative the Ricoeurian triple mímesis as an itinerary for the study of Out of the Silent Planet. At last, we apply the resulting model to the analysis of the first volume of the C. S. Lewis’s Space Trilogy. In mímesis I, we study the fiction environment and the characters of the story. In mímesis II, we locate the chapter in the work where the narrative can be seen as a whole. Then, we describe how the categories/aspects of the problem of evil are articulated in this part of Out of the Silent Planet, we verify how the narrative shares elements of the literature body of the time in which it was produced, and how it breaks from this tradition. In mímesis III, we approach the values and the ethical practical implications that can be verified in the reading of the book. C. S. Lewis proposes in his narrative a theodicy from a theist Christian standpoint, using fiction to transmit his way of understanding the problem of evil and its implications. / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo estudar o problema do mal através da literatura com o auxílio da hermenêutica filosófica literária.

Lewis, o autor cuja a obra Além do planeta silencioso é o objeto do nosso estudo e expomos a metodologia dessa dissertação. No segundo capítulo, discutimos panoramicamente o problema do mal na filosofia e na teologia. Em seguida, apresentamos um painel com os principais estudos que examinam a interface entre o problema do mal e as obras de C. S. Lewis. Ao final do capítulo, elencamos as principais categorias/aspectos do problema do mal que são articuladas na abordagem apologética de Lewis em O problema do sofrimento e que ecoam na narrativa ficcional do nosso objeto de estudo. As principais categorias/aspectos do problema do mal que se relacionam com o primeiro volume da Trilogia cósmica são: a onipotência divina, a queda do homem, o sofrimento humano e o sofrimento animal. Para estudar o problema do mal na literatura, buscamos na hermenêutica filosófica literária de Paul Ricoeur um modelo de análise. Abstraímos da obra Tempo e narrativa a tríplice mimese ricoeuriana como roteiro para o estudo de Além do planeta silencioso. Por fim, aplicamos o modelo resultante à análise do primeiro volume da Trilogia cósmica de C. S. Lewis. Em mímesis I, estudamos a ambientação da ficção e os personagens da história. Em mímesis II, localizamos o capítulo da obra onde a narrativa pode ser vista como um todo. Então, descrevemos como as categorias/aspectos do problema do mal são articuladas nessa parte de Além do planeta silencioso, verificamos como a narrativa compartilha elementos do corpo literário da época em que foi produzida e como ela rompe com essa tradição. Em mímesis III, abordamos os valores e as implicações éticas práticas que podem ser verificadas na leitura do livro. C. S. Lewis propõe em sua narrativa uma teodiceia desde um ponto de vista teísta cristão, utilizando-se da ficção para transmitir sua maneira de entender o problema do mal e suas implicações.

Die Arbeit geht einem Rezeptionsgeschehen zwischen Theologie und Philosophie im 20.Jahrhundert nach, das nach dem Verhältnis von Sprache und Wirklichkeit fragt. Rudolf Bultmanns Kerygma und Martin Heideggers Ereignis versuchen zu beschreiben, wie Sprache auf die Wirklichkeit und die Existenz wirkt. Ernst Fuchs und Gerhard Ebeling gehen in ihrer Hermeneutischen Theologie von einer christologischen Verhältnisbestimmung aus: Weil Gott im Wort wirkt, ist der Mensch sprachlich bestimmt. Ihr Konzept Wortgeschehen verbindet die sprachliche mit der existentialen Ebene, um das Wort Gottes als dynamisch und rechtfertigend wirkmächtig zu interpretieren. Der Philosoph Paul Ricœur rezipiert diese theologische Verhältnisbestimmung. Er versucht mit seiner Hermeneutik des Symbols, der Metapher und des Textes, existentiale Strukturen und Wirkweisen von Sprache zu beschreiben und setzt sich dazu auch mit dem Wortgeschehen auseinander. Allerdings weist Ricœurs Rezeption des theologischen Konzeptes auf strukturelle und hermeneutische Probleme hin. Ricœurs eigener Entwurf eines hermeneutischen Prozesses bezieht Struktur und Bedeutung des Textes, sowie Kritik und Glaube des Verstehenden in den Interpretationsvorgang ein und öffnet sich für bibelhermeneutische Überlegungen. Der Philosoph Ricœur wird daher theologisch vielfach rezipiert. Eine konkrete Schnittstelle stellt die Gleichnisdiskussion ab den 1970er Jahren dar, an der Ricœur sich beteiligt und in der seine Hermeneutik theologisch rezipiert wird. Gleichzeitig vertieft diese Diskussion das Konzept Wortgeschehen, weil sie sprachliche Mechanismen und deren existentiale Wirkung genauer beschreibt. Nachdem das Wortgeschehen philosophisch wie theologisch weiterentwickelt wurde, erweist es sich in der Frage nach einer Hermeneutik des Wortes Gottes als dienliches Konzept, weil es die sprachliche Ebene des Wortes Gottes mit hermeneutischen und theologischen Begründungen seiner existentialen Wirkung verbindet. / This dissertation investigates a mutual reference between theology and philosophy in the 20th century dealing with the issue of the relation between language and reality. Rudolf Bultmann‘s Kerygma and Martin Heidegger‘s Ereignis try to describe, how language effects reality and existence. In their Hermeneutical Theology, Ernst Fuchs and Gerhard Ebeling define a christological relation: Because God acts through the word, human existence is defined through language. Their concept Wortgeschehen relates linguistic to existential layers of meaning in order to interpret the word of God as dynamic and justifying. The philosopher Paul Ricœur refers to this theological relation. In his hermeneutics of symbols, metaphors and texts, he tries to describe existential structures and effects of language and concerning this question also discusses the Wortgeschehen. Yet, Ricœur‘s reference to the theological concept points out structural and hermeneutical problems. Ricœur‘s own concept of a hermeneutic process integrates structure and meaning of a text, as well as the critical and faithful understanding into the process of interpretation. His position is open for hermeneutics of the Bible. Thus, there are several theological references to the philosopher. The discussion on parables in the 1970s represents a concrete intersection of both disciplines, involving Ricœur and the theological reception of his hermeneutics. At the same time the discussion elaborates the concept Wortgeschehen describing language mechanisms and existential effects more precisly. Through its continuing philosophical and theological development the Wortgeschehen proves a helpful concept concerning the question of hermeneutics of the word of God, because it connects the linguistic layer of the Word of God to hermeneutic and theological reasons of its existential effect.

Eyvind Johnson publicerade romanen Molnen över Metapontion 1957. Romanen är en komposition av sammanvävda berättelser, där minnen och erfarenheter från olika tider - Antiken och 1900-talet - försöker gestalta vad det innebär att vara människa. Men hur fångar man både sina egna erfarenheter och sin samtids utmaningar genom att skriva en historisk roman? Nobelpristagaren Eyvind Johnson är en författare som i det historiska berättandet kom att se möjligheter - möjligheter att, genom den narrativa operationen, både bearbeta och gestalta sina egna och sin samtids upplevelser och minnen. Hur kom då Eyvind Johnson fram till sin komplexa tidsgestaltning i romanen Molnen över Metapontion där han sammanför historiska och samtida minnen? Det försöker denna uppsats söka svar på genom att studera ett urval av Eyvind Johnsons egna brev och dagböcker, för att undersöka vad som där framträder från Johnson själv om hans författarskap. På samma sätt som Eyvind Johnson ägnat minnen - sina egna och historiens - stort utrymme, så har den franske filosofen, Paul Ricoeur, ägnat en stor del av sitt liv åt att försöka ringa in berättandets möjligheter att gestalta människans historiska minnen. I sina djuplodande analyser av texter från den västerländska civilisationens olika tidsepoker visar Ricoeur mångfalden av aspekter kring fenomen som berättande och temporalitet, vilket hänger samman med begrepp som minne och glömska. Ricoeurs studie av minnet som fenomen utgör teoretiskt underlag för en del av uppsatsens analys.

<p>This dissertation applies Paul Ricœur’s theory of narrative identity to Chaucer’s poetry. The idea of a narrative subjectivity addresses gaps and synthesizes key movements in Chaucer studies, engaging with key scholars such as George Lyman Kittridge, Carolyn Dinshaw, A.C. Spearing, and Mary Carruthers. Using Ricœur’s hermeneutic phenomenology, the chapters articulate how narrative is necessary to the construction and expression of both individual and collective identity and experience. Each chapter focuses on a key element of Ricœur’s narrative hermeneutic phenomenology and how that modality of narrative is used to construct a particular kind of identity. I argue for a self-in-relation: the self as constituted through relations to others, or intersubjectively, which is expressed in and as narrative. Ricœur’s hermeneutic distills several of Chaucer’s key interests: time, history, fictionality, and poetics; selfhood and alterity; the significance of language and of fidelity to one’s word; and agency, passivity, and suffering. By applying that heremeneutic, we can consider the extent to which Chaucer’s poetry may use narrative to represent or resolve those interests and their connection to identity.</p> <p>Chapter 1 explores the identity construction of three Chaucerian women by identifying patterns of yielding discursive authority that either subvert or redirect narrative structures of masculine authority. I argue that women like Criseyde have more control over their own lives and a more positive subject-position than previously recognized. In Chapter 2, I argue that racialized narratives shared by the Canterbury pilgrims structure their community by defining what kind of identity is acceptable—in this case, a white Christian identity, shared by all the pilgrims, that reproduces a Western hegemonic whiteness. In chapter 3, I argue that in Chaucer’s talking-animal poetry, the recognition and response that narrative facilitates results in an ethic of care that is invested in principles of solicitude and friendship. In Chapter<b> </b>4, I argue that Chaucer’s dream visions represent narratives of poetic subjectivity that are embedded in issues of memory and sociality that take shape in and as space. Finally, in conclusion I tie these arguments back to a question asked of the fictional representation of Chaucer himself: Who are you? This question animates much of Chaucer’s poetry and I have endeavored to show how Chaucer answers that question with and in narrative. </p>

<p>This dissertation examines the thought of Jean-Luc Marion in light of his treatment of divine revelation and in connection to the hermeneutic phenomenology of Paul Ricoeur. It argues, first, that Marion’s thought bears within itself significant ambiguities that are determined by the legacies of the key concepts which organize his work: ‘givenness’ (<em>donation</em>) and saturation. Secondly, it also argues that even if a way can be found to resolve these ambiguities the resultant proposal does not meet the criticism raised by Paul Ricoeur in reference to phenomenologies of religion that remain determined by a ‘Husserlian idealism.’ As a result, the dissertation offers a study of Ricoeur’s hermeneutics of revelation in an effort to displace Marion’s account and offer an alternative proposal. Specifically, it treats the connection of Ricoeur’s proposed transformation of phenomenology through hermeneutics, the idea of a hermeneutics of testimony that is generated as a result of that transformation, and Ricoeur’s notion of revelation as being articulated in reference to the ‘world of the text.’ By focusing on the notion of ‘anteriority’ throughout the analysis, the dissertation argues that not only does Marion’s work remain limited by its formal commitments to pure apparition, but it fails to access the sort of radical anteriority that it seeks. This is so because it remains tied to a philosophy of consciousness which is blocked from accessing the pre-reflective level of belonging that is made accessible by Ricoeur’s hermeneutic phenomenology. By making this argument, the dissertation provides a critical analysis of Marion’s work from the perspective of divine revelation and, furthermore, brings that work into conversation with Paul Ricoeur. This important engagement between Ricoeur and Marion has not been adequately addressed in the current secondary literature and this dissertation fills that gap.</p> / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Diante disso, o enfoque da Pedagogia do Texto (PdT) se propõe como um enfoque inovador crítico que procura a apropriação interdisciplinar dos saberes, principalmente por meio de textos como produtos semiotizados do desenvolvimento cultural da humanidade. No entanto, a interpretação científica dos diversos produtos culturais deu origem a diferentes escolas hermenêuticas. Umas pleiteiam a compreensão do texto em relação ao seu contexto, ou à do autor em relação à sua obra, ou à de ambos em relação com a época. Outras questionam a redução da hermenêutica a uma teoria do conhecimento e propõem um fundamento ontológico da mesma. Em diálogo com as diversas tradições, estabelecendo vínculos claros entre vários níveis e campos disciplinares, Ricoeur realizou contribuições significativas para a teoria da compreensão, na qual o texto joga um rol fundamental. Esta situação não tem passado desapercebida a propostas educativas que retomam seu pensamento para fundamentar inovações pedagógicas de acordo com os desafios do contexto e dos avanços epistemológicos das respectivas áreas. Por isso, nesta investigação de caráter monográfico-bibliográfico, dou conta dos seguintes eixos: a) o desenvolvimento histórico da teoria da interpretação como hermenêutica, b) sua concreção em Ricoeur na interpretação dos símbolos, a teoria do texto, a teoria da ação, da história e de si mesmo, e c) a possível contribuição da obra ricoeuriana para a fundamentação e desenvolvimento da PdT

In order to understand Politics as an activity based on coexistence, we should recognize concepts such as power, sovereignty, violence, as permanent features in the task of stabilization of life in common. Thus, we should revisit some philosophical works that illustrates this unique capacity of men. This work discusses Paul Ricoeur s political paradox concept, which was first brought to light in 1957, in the article he wrote analyzing the Hungarian Revolution. Focusing on Ricoeur s work, this text intends to clarify the political paradox concept, as well as to explicit political power problems such as its relative autonomy with respect to social-economic relations. The Hungarian events illustrate such problems, but this work also demonstrates how Ricoeur s analyses unfolded into a universal reflection about the political realm. Ricoeur discussed some of Hannah Arendt s papers; according to the later, Politics is the source of meaning for human life and a long-term political project is the only possibility of historical immortality for us, mortals. Some of these discussions brought up at the end of this dissertation, aim to shed light on the reflection about the political paradox and the problematic of power / Paul Ricoeur preocupou-se, em seus textos políticos, com uma filosofia da ação voltada para a vontade de coexistência dos homens. Para entendermos a política como a atividade estabelecida na convivência entre os homens, somos convocados a reconhecer conceitos tais como poder, soberania, violência, como traços permanentes da tarefa de estabilização dessa vida em comum. Para tanto, devemos revisitar as obras filosóficas que reflitam essa capacidade singular dos homens. Este trabalho apresenta reflexões em torno do conceito que Ricoeur chama de paradoxo político , um conceito cunhado e discutido pela primeira vez em 1957, num artigo seminal, referindo-se aos eventos da Revolução Húngara. À luz da filosofia política desse autor francês, busca-se esclarecer o paradoxo político, explicitando os problemas do poder político e sua relativa autonomia em relação ao econômico-social. Os eventos húngaros ilustram a abordagem dos problemas enunciados, mas o trabalho demonstra como, a partir daquele estudo, a reflexão se desdobrou em uma reflexão universal sobre o político. Ricoeur analisou alguns textos de Hannah Arendt, para quem a política é a fonte de significado da vida humana e o projeto político de longa duração é a única medida de imortalidade histórica que é possível a nós, homens mortais. Algumas dessas análises constam no final desta dissertação, e têm o intuito de iluminar a reflexão sobre o paradoxo político e a problemática do poder
