La présence d'éléments de la tradition classique chez Robert Venturi et Ricardo Bofill origine dans la volonté de doter l'architecture actuelle d'un langage qui lui redonne un pouvoir d'évocation et une richesse sémantique jugés déficients dans la production moderniste. Le langage classique est l'objet chez les deux architectes d'un projet de remise à jour par une transformation physique et sémantique dont le modèle opérationnel est basé sur la sémiotique d'origine linguistico-saussurienne. L'entreprise de Venturi et Bofill est marquée d'insuffisances qui peuvent originer dans la spécificité du langage architectural ou dans les faiblesses du modèle opérationnel d'une sémiotique architecturale encore imparfaite. Ces problèmes n'entachent cependant pas la valeur du but poursuivi, qui s'inscrit dans une longue tradition humaniste concevant l'architecture comme un art au service de l'homme. / Montréal Trigonix inc. 2018

In this essay, I am analysing and discussing the possibility of didactic intention and message in the intertextual analysis. The main focus is to connect the intertextual analysis to the Swedish and English curriculum in the Swedish secondary school. Thus, in the analysis, I have used Stephen King’s novels The Gunslinger (I), The Waste Lands(III) and The Dark Tower(VII), and searched for intertextual citations, allusions, and references to the two poets T.S Eliot and Robert Browning. In conclusion, I have found intertexts to Eliot’s The Waste Land and Browning’s Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came. However, the strongest connection has been found in Eliot, and therefore the intertextual analysis of the novels has its main focus on King’s use of Eliot’s The Waste Land in The Dark Tower-novels, and how these intertexts can be interpreted and used in the Swedish secondary school. The intention of the essay is to encourage the use of more methods whilst teaching literature and hopefully foster students to look at literature with more curiosity. The analysis is made with the prospect of bringing more perspectives to the already scientifically based methods that are used in the Swedish secondary school.

The aim of this study is to examine how the teaching of democracy in social studies has been influenced by generative AI. To achieve the objectives of this study, interviews were conducted with high school social studies teachers who reflected on their experiences with this technology. The theoretical framework of the study is based on Robert Dahl's criteria for a democratic process, from which a selection was made. The study's findings, analyzed using Dahl's framework, led to the study's conclusions. The conclusions indicate a diverse range of opinions among the respondents, with difficulty in reaching a consensus, and often individual teachers are divided in their views on generative AI. Many recognize both the advantages and disadvantages of using generative AI in education, particularly regarding democracy.

Cette étude se veut une analyse de la projection architecturale Le Moulin à images de Robert Lepage et Ex Machina. Créée pour souligner le 400e anniversaire de la ville de Québec, l'oeuvre livre une rétrospective de quatre siècles d'histoire. Ce mémoire propose une lecture du récit offert par Le Moulin à images. J'étudierai la narrativité du spectacle, c'est-à-dire les moyens qu'il emploie pour raconter, à sa manière, l'histoire de la ville de Québec. Les relations entre la forme et le contenu semblent jouer un rôle important sur le propos de la projection architecturale. La part d'histoire qui se dégage des images et la thématique de la communication tout au long de l'oeuvre entretiennent des rapports qui sollicitent la coopération de l'observateur dans le décodage du spectacle. À ces relations thématiques s'ajoute le traitement formel des images qui, à l'instar de la réalisation cinématographique ou de la mise en scène théâtrale, vient dynamiser, rythmer et organiser les images sur la surface de projection que devient la Bunge, terminal céréalier situé dans le Vieux-Port de Québec. L'étude met au jour l'interdépendance manifeste entre les techniques utilisées pour réaliser et actualiser toutes sortes d'image et la thématique, voire la mise en abyme de l'évolution des modes de communication et de représentation de la ville de Québec, d'hier à aujourd'hui. Mais au-delà des technologies qu'il requiert pour advenir, je souhaite démontrer que Le Moulin à images offre en partage une vision particulière de l'histoire de la ville de Québec et, de ce fait, en propose un récit au regard observateur.

In accordance with the notion of the so-called “new musicology” that musicological studies should steer away from the canon of masterpieces, this study concentrates on Robert Fuchs as an example of a Kleinmeister. His Piano Trio in C major, Op. 22, is a demonstration of developing variation, a term coined by Arnold Schoenberg to refer to the technique of motivic development within a musical composition as a whole. According to Schoenberg, the music of Johannes Brahms illustrates the most advanced manifestation of developing variation in that he often starts to develop his motives from the very opening of a piece. The technique of developing variation became one solution to the key problem composers faced in the later nineteenth century, namely how to create large forms from very concise thematic material. The purpose of this study is, firstly, to describe the concept of developing variation, providing** a historical perspective with specific reference to Brahms, and, secondly, to trace the manifestation of developing variation in Robert Fuchs‟s Piano Trio in C major, Op. 22, a work which Fuchs dedicated to Brahms. The empirical section of this study shows that the characteristic feature of the germ cell (G-A-G) that appears at the beginning of this composition, namely a movement away from and a return to the point of departure, manifests on micro- (motivic), meso- (thematic), and macro- (structural) level. On micro-level the germ cell grows teleologically by means of metric displacement, rhythmic changes, augmentation, diminution, intervallic expansion, inversion, retrograde, retrograde inversion, extension, sequential treatment, liquidation and further derivatives of the germ cell until a large form is created: a four-movement work for three instruments. This study also demonstrates how the shape of the germ cell can be found in larger structures as themes and the overall structure of each of the four movements. / PhD (Music Performance), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

This thesis investigates the significance of the Church's experience of transcendence in the theologies of Robert W. Jenson (b. 1930) and Alexander Schmemann (1921-1983). Both theologians emphasize the indispensable role of eschatology for Christian theology, but they offer strikingly different accounts of what that means. Following an introductory chapter, the first half of the thesis (chapters 2-4) clarifies the loss of transcendence by following Jenson's and Schmemann's respective theological diagnoses of the chief problems facing the Church in the late-modern West. Jenson argues that a long hidden error in the ontology of the doctrine of God is the underlying cause of the nihilism pervading Western culture. Schmemann perceives secularism as the pervasive cultural backdrop to Christian faith in the West, identifying the betrayal of the Orthodox Church's liturgical experience of the Kingdom of God as the chief culprit. By placing their critiques in dialog with one another I further trace the mutually diagnosed problem of the Church's debilitated eschatology to underlying problems in received ontologies of transcendence. The second half of the thesis (chapters 5-7) explores Jenson's and Schmemann's theological proposals for rehabilitating eschatology. Jenson revises the ontology of God to more adequately fit the God identified by the gospel. His narratival ontology enables him to conceptualize God's transcendence in terms of triune faithfulness through time rather than in metaphysical immunity to time. Schmemann retrieves a symbolic ontology in order to affirm the sacramentality of the world by which God's transcendence can be mystically experienced in the Church's liturgical worship. I argue that Jenson's theological rejection of timelessness rests upon historicist assumptions which Schmemann's eschatological theory has resources to withstand and that, furthermore, theology should preserve apophatic humility rooted in the aseity of God rather than historicize the doctrine of God as Jenson proposes.
