L’enseignement religieux en Syrie et les droits de l’homme : une étude analytique et critique de la conception et de l’évolution des droits de l’homme et de leur cadre philosophique, politique et juridique dans les manuels scolaires de 2ème secondaire depuis 1963 jusqu’aujourd’hui / Religious Education in Syria and Human Rights : an Analytical and Critical Study of the Conception and Development of Human Rights and their Philosophical, Political and Legal Framework in Textbooks of the Second Secondary Level since 1963 until Today / التعليم الديني في سوريا وحقوق الإنسان : دراسة تحليلية نقدية لمفهوم وتطور حقوق الإنسان وإطارها الفلسفي والسياسي والتشريعي في مناهج الصف الثاني الثانوي منذ 1963 إلى اليوم

Al Zahran, Sohaib 07 February 2013 (has links)
Cette thèse porte sur les représentations des droits de l’homme dans les manuels scolaires religieux en Syrie. Elle interroge la perception islamique des droits humains, notamment au regard de leur origine séculière. Elle analyse aussi la place de l’enseignement religieux dans la conception et la promotion des libertés fondamentales, ainsi que les difficultés occasionnées par la confrontation aux enjeux d’ordre politique, philosophique, juridique et théologique. Une approche comparative est développée dans ce but avec d’une part les textes internationaux portant sur les droits de l'homme, de la Déclaration universelle aux conventions islamiques, et de l’autre, avec les travaux portés par le courant de la réforme et le renouvellement de la pensée islamique. En tenant compte du fait que le contenu des manuels s'inscrit dans un cadre temporel donné, il importe de discuter du positionnement quelque peu paradoxal de ces ouvrages au sein d’un enseignement religieux organisé par un État laïque. Il apparaît que, malgré l’existence de doctrines islamiques élaborées en accord avec l’esprit de la Déclaration universelle, dans la mesure où elles avancent une relecture des textes qui font l’objet de la polémique, les manuels restent fidèles à un courant de pensée traditionnel pour ne pas dire archaïque. Les éditions les plus récentes n'ont pas accompli de progrès notables en la matière et se sont au contraire avérées davantage soumises au carcan d'un régime autocratique. Afin de mieux intégrer et faire appliquer les droits de l'homme, l’enseignement religieux syrien doit relever plusieurs défis, dont l'élaboration d'une véritable citoyenneté, le respect de la diversité de la société et la redéfinition de l’État. / This thesis focuses on representations of human rights in Syrian religious textbooks. It analyzes the Islamic perception of human rights, particularly with regard to their secular origin. It also analyzes the role of religious education in the conception and promotion of fundamental freedoms, and the difficulties brought about by the conflict with issues of the political, philosophical, legal and theological order. To achieve this, there implemented a comparative approach to international instruments on human rights, specifically The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and Islamic conventions on the one hand, and the work carried out by the school of reform of Islamic thought on the other. Taking into account the fact that the content of textbooks is part of a time frame, it is important to discuss the somewhat paradoxical position of these structures in a religious education that is organized by a secular state. It appears that in spite of the existence of Islamic doctrines developed in accordance with the spirit of the UDHR insofar as these doctrines suggest a rereading of texts that are the subject of controversy, textbooks remain faithful to a traditional, not to say archaic, thinking. The most recent textbooks have not made any significant progress in this area, but are instead subject to the yoke of what proved to be more of an autocratic regime. To better integrate and enforce human rights, religious education in Syria faces several challenges, including the development of effective citizenship, respect for the heterogeneity of society and redefinition of the State.

The Politics of Sympathy: Secularity, Alterity, and Subjectivity in George Eliot's Novels

Koo, Seung-Pon 12 1900 (has links)
This study examines the practical and political implications of sympathy as a mode of achieving the intercommunicative relationship between the self and the other, emphasizing the significance of subjective agency not simply guided by the imperative category of morality but mainly enacted by a hybrid of discourses through the interaction between the two entities. Scenes of Clerical Life, Eliot's first fictional narrative on illuminating the intertwining relation of religion to secular conditions of life, reveals that the essence of religion is the practice of love between the self and the other derived from sympathy and invoked by their dialogic discourses of confession which enable them to foster the communality, on the grounds that the alterity implicated in the narrative of the other summons and re-historicizes the narrative of the subject's traumatic event in the past. Romola, Eliot's historical novel, highlights the performativity of subject which, on the one hand, locates Romola outside the social frame of domination and appropriation as a way of challenging the universalizing discourses of morality and duty sanctioned by the patriarchal ideology of norms, religion, and marriage. On the other hand, the heroine re-engages herself inside the social structure as a response to other's need for help by substantiating her compassion for others in action. Felix Holt, the Radical, Eliot's political and industrial novel, investigates the limits of moral discourse and instrumental reason. Esther employs her strategy of hybridizing her aesthetic and moral tastes in order to debilitate masculine desires for moral inculcation and material calculation. Esther reinvigorates her subjectivity by simultaneously internalizing and externalizing a hybrid of tastes. In effect, the empowerment of her subjectivity is designed not only to provide others with substantial help from the promptings of her sympathy for them, but also to fulfill her romantic plot of marriage.

KG Hammar och Rowan Williams : en studie av två ärkebiskopar ur ett postmodernt teologiskt perspektiv

Madfors, Ingela January 2009 (has links)
Denna uppsats består av en jämförande studie av två ärkebiskopar – KG Hammar (Svenska kyrkan) och Rowan Williams (Church of England) - ur ett postmodernt teologiskt perspektiv. Syftet var att söka finna postmoderna influenser hos de båda ärkebiskoparna i såväl teori som praktik och undersöka konsekvenserna av ett postmodernt teologiskt agerande.  Undersökningen visade att båda ärkebiskoparna influerades av postmodern teologi i teorin. Hammar förde också som ärkebiskop fram sina personliga postmoderna insikter, medan Williams av olika anledningar generellt valde att endast föra fram kyrkans åsikt. Båda handlingsalternativen medförde såväl kritik som uppskattning. Båda ärkebiskoparna tog fasta på den postmoderna teologins framhållande av dialog som metod: Dialog kännetecknade allt deras handlande, såväl inomkyrkligt som mot andra religiösa och samhälleliga grupper. Trots dialogen kunde dock inte vissa splittringar undvikas. Samhällsengagemanget visade sig däremot till största delen framgångsrikt och visade en postmodern insikt om kyrkans roll i en sekulär värld. Trots att ett postmodernt förhållningssätt inte helt accepterades, medverkade ärkebiskoparnas agerande till att skapa intresse för framför allt religiös dialog bland många olika grupper. / This essay is a comparative study of two archbishops - KG Hammar (Church of Sweden) and Rowan Williams (Church of England) - from a postmodern theological perspective. The aim was to discover postmodern influences for the archbishops in theory and practice, and to investigate the consequences of acting from a postmodern theological perspective. The study revealed postmodern influences in both archbishops' theory. Hammar chose to act according to his personal postmodern convictions also as archbishop whereas, for various reasons, Williams generally chose to speak only for the whole church. Both strategies were criticized as well as appreciated. Both archbishops were committed to dialogue as described by postmodern theology. This influenced all their actions, within the church as well as with other religious denominations and various groups in society. However, even with dialogue certain schisms proved to be unavoidable. The engagement in society proved more successful and showed a postmodern understanding of the church in a secular world. Even though a postmodern course of action was not totally accepted, the archbishops managed to promote a wide interest especially for religious dialogue.
