La pudeur au secret de la littérature : pour une autre lecture du "péché originel". Marguerite Duras, Violette Leduc / Shameful secrets of literature : for a new reading of "original sin". Marguerite Duras, Violette LeducFrantz de Spot, Anaïs 23 September 2010 (has links)
La thèse rend compte d’une tentative de repenser le rapport entre la pudeur et la littérature : non pas la pudeur dans la littérature ou une littérature de la pudeur mais le geste littéraire comme un geste de pudeur. Pour cela, la première partie de la thèse s’emploie à découvrir la pudeur (en français, en Occident), c’est-à-dire à tomber le voile des discours dogmatiques qui forgèrent le mythe d’une « pudeur féminine » depuis l’interprétation canonique de l’épisode biblique du « péché originel », pour mettre en évidence la nudité textuelle du sujet auctorial (du latin augeo qui signifie « augmenter » et qui donne le nom d’« auteur » en français). L’hypothèse est que sous le couvert d’une interdiction sexuelle et du voile posé sur le « féminin », la « pudeur féminine » dissimule une complexité générique : il s’agit de l’articulation problématique dont la littérature transporterait le secret entre les genres biologiques (humain-animal), les genres grammaticaux (masculin-féminin) et les genres du discours (religieux ou philosophique-littéraire). Dans une deuxième partie, la thèse examine les effets de la pudeur auctoriale à partir d’un corpus constitué de textes de Marguerite Duras et de Violette Leduc relevant des genres littéraires de l’intime mais dont la reprise fictionnelle est assumée par les auteurs : l’autobiographie (La Bâtarde et, dans une certaine mesure, L’Amant de la Chine du Nord), le journal et la lettre (Aurélia Steiner et L’Affamée). Cette étude est sous-tendue par deux axes de lecture qui mettent en évidence la déconstruction de « l’intérieur » à laquelle œuvre la pudeur : une responsabilité poétique et une franchise littéraire. / This thesis is an attempt to rethink the relationship between pudeur (a sense of shame) and literature : it is not about shame in literature or about the literature of modesty but about the literary act as an act of pudeur. The first part of the thesis is a discovery of modesty (in French, in the occident) ; in other words it is a dropping of the veil of the discourses which, since the canonical interpretations of « original sin » in the Bible, have forged the myth of a « female modesty ». This will highlight the textual nudity of the auctorial subject (« auctorial » : from the latin augere, meaning « to increase » which is at the root of the word for « author »). Under a covert sexual interdiction and a veil wrapped round the « feminine », female modesty dissimulates a generic complexity : the problematic articulation between species (human-animal), genders (male-female), and genres (religious or philosophical-literary) of which literature might hold the secret. In its second part the thesis examines the effects of pudeur auctoriale as revealed in a series of texts by Marguerite Duras and Violette Leduc. Among the intimate genres that these authors revisit in fiction there are : the autobiography (La Bâtarde and, to a certain extent L’Amant de la Chine du Nord), the diary and correspondence (Aurélia Steiner and L’Affamée). This study underlines the deconstruction from the inside towards which pudeur tends : a poetic responsibility and a literary honesty.

The Sins of Boromir : Representations of Sin in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the RingsBerg, Daniel January 2018 (has links)
In this essay, Ralph C. Wood's religious-philosophical interpretation of LotR has been analyzed, with emphasis upon his conclusions about evil and sin in LotR. Some of Wood's claims about evil and sin in LotR have been applied upon the character Boromir, in order to show how sin is manifested as truth-transgression, pride, avarice, and misdirected love. A theoretical section is presented in order to define the concepts of sin, mimetic desire, and evil. The literary analysis focuses upon the character Boromir; the relevant works of literary scholas Ralph C. Wood and René Girard have been chosen as points of reference in this analysis. Attention is also given to an article by the historian Stephen Morillo, in the analysis of Norse pagan and Christian interpretations. It has been argued that a Christian reading of LotR, contrary to Morillo's standpoint, is possible.

Baptism and Original Sin in the Early Church : contributions of TertullianAsue, Daniel Ude January 2014 (has links)
This study examines the baptismal practices of the early Christian community using Tertullian’s ethical text on baptism in relation to his other writings to dialogue with the Roman Catholic understanding of baptism, original sin and grace. Tertullian referring to the sacramental form of baptism that is done with water, held that baptism is indispensable for salvation because it imparts the grace that washes away original sin and makes someone a Christian; and capable of attaining a matured Christian life.
At the moment, the Roman Catholic Church does not confer baptism of water on polygamists, and subsequently fails to admit them to her sacramental life because of their polygamous relations. This raises a question regarding the salvation of these polygamous families. How do they receive baptismal grace and become part of the church?
This study argues that church and baptism were inseparable right from the beginning of Christianity in the New Testament. People became members of the church by the fact of their baptism. This study does a hermeneutical retrieval of the early church’s teaching on baptism and original sin in the light of Tertullian as the pillar of western theology. The study concludes by invoking pastoral consideration to baptize polygamous families (husband and wives) who married before converting to the faith. They are not to enter into any new marriage after baptism since they have received Christ in their state. “Go and sin no more,” says Christ. / Dissertation (MA Theol)--University of Pretoria, 2014. / gm2014 / Church History and Church Policy / unrestricted

[en] FROM HEURISTICS OF FEAR TO THE LOVE PRAXIS: MORAL-THEOLOGICAL STUDY ABOUT THE IMPERATIVE OF RESPONSIBILITY IN HANS JONAS / [pt] DA HEURÍSTICA DO TEMOR À PRÁXIS DO AMOR: ESTUDO TEOLÓGICO-MORAL SOBRE O PRINCÍPIO RESPONSABILIDADE EM HANS JONASWALDIR SOUZA 20 May 2010 (has links)
[pt] Da heurística do temor à práxis do amor. Estudo teológico moral sobre O princípio responsabilidade em Hans Jonas. A ética da tecnologia não deve ser considerada simplesmente em função da fase aplicativa, mas também em sua insuficiência radical, em sua ambivalência teleológica e em sua dinâmica de saber-poder, que aumenta cada vez mais e, portanto, também em sua fase elucidativa. Dessa forma, a tecnologia exige ser completada e ter sua referência numa antropologia global, na qual possa encontrar o seu papel ao lado das outras dimensões do ser humano - essencialmente humano, com as ambivalências e oposições características do mistério de sua liberdade, a que pertencem às experiências de fortúnio e infortúnio, prazer e dor, bem e mal, nas quais se desdobra a epopéia humana em sua história. A preservação de tal essência constitui o dever basilar da ética e da teologia ao tratar da responsabilidade e da vida. Aqui se encontra a justificativa para a reflexão teológico-moral a que esta tese se propõe. O tema a ser abordado por esta tese quer analisar o impacto dos avanços da tecnociência, da biotecnociência diante do novo agir humano. Desta forma, as reflexões de Hans Jonas se apresentam como elementos de aproximação desta realidade. A partir dos elementos centrais de sua reflexão se fará um estudo teológico-moral. Eis aí o grande desafio para um estudo que detecte os impasses, as possíveis alternativas e os desafios que a boa nova cristã oferece para um mundo historicamente novo: fazer a passagem urgente, porém consciente, da heurística do temor à práxis do amor. / [en] From heuristics of fear to the love praxis. Moral-theological study about The Imperative of responsibility in Hans Jonas. The ethics of technology must not be considered simply according to its applicative phase but also according to its radical insufficiency, its teleological ambivalence, its dynamics of knowledge-power that increases more and more, and therefore, also according to its elucidative phase. Thus technology demands to be completed and to have its reference in a global anthropology wherein it can find its role besides the other dimensions of human being – essentially human, with the properly ambivalences and oppositions of the mystery of its liberty of which is part the experiences of fortune and misfortune, pleasure and pain, good and bad wherein the human epic unfolds in its history. The preservation of such essence constitutes the main duty of ethics and of theology to deal with responsibility and life. Herein is the justification to the moral-theological thinking that this thesis intends. The topic of this thesis wants to analyze the impact of tecnoscience and biotechnoscience progresses before the new human action. So Hans Jonas’ thinkings arise as outline approaches of this reality. From the main outlines in his thinking a moral-theological study will be done. Here is the great challenge to a study that detects the impasses, the possible alternatives, and the challenges that Christian good-news gives to a historically new world: make an urgent transition but very conscious, from the heuristics of fear to love praxis.

The Seven Deadly Sins of Prostitution: Perceptions of Prostitutes and Prostitution in Eighteenth-Century LondonSteinberg, Jessica January 2015 (has links)
This thesis examines perceptions of lower-class female prostitutes and prostitution in eighteenth-century London. It reveals that throughout the Hanoverian period perceptions of prostitution were shaped by sensibilities about morality, the social order, and sin. To explore attitudes towards prostitution in eighteenth-century London, this dissertation evaluates how governing elites, ecclesiastical authorities, contributors to the newspaper press, and popular commentators discussed prostitution. This dissertation engages with two main assumptions about prostitution in eighteenth-century London. First, it demonstrates that there is more continuity in perceptions of prostitution than historians have recognized; attitudes towards prostitutes did not shift from hostility to sympathy in a straight-forward manner. Second, this dissertation reveals that prostitution was regarded by Augustan and Hanoverian Londoners as a significant social problem because it embodied and encapsulated the seven deadly sins – lust, avarice, pride, envy, gluttony, sloth, and wrath. This thesis suggests that prostitutes’ excessive lust and avarice were not seen as disparate issues, but were often discussed together. Paradoxically, discussants recognized that financial considerations drove some women into prostitution, but these women were regarded as abnormally greedy and corrupt because they resorted to deceptive tactics. Pride and envy were associated with prostitution because Hanoverians believed some prostitutes bought extravagant clothes and cosmetics to conceal their lowly status and enhance their appearance to emulate elites. Hanoverians regarded these prostitutes with trepidation because they threatened to undermine their hierarchically ordered society. Prostitutes’ proclivities towards drunkenness and idleness were associated with gluttony and sloth. Commentators feared that drunken and idle prostitutes would encourage men to engage in these dissolute activities, leading to greater disorder. Wrath was closely associated with prostitution because of its association with violence. Although prostitutes were both the victims and perpetrators of assault, incidents in which prostitutes were assailants were reported more frequently, suggesting that Britons regarded prostitutes as disorderly, sinful criminals. Each chapter also brings attention to concerns regarding prostitutes’ lack of self-control and their apparent ability to cause men to lose self-control; how double standards of morality influenced discussions of prostitution; the consequences of prostitutes’ criminality and ability to deceive Londoners; and the various institutions, organizations, and suggestions proposed and established to reform prostitutes and eradicate sin from society.

Perceptions of agency: Beliefs of four adolescent girls in high school as revealed through literature discussions.Curtis, Joan Scott 08 1900 (has links)
Published research suggests that cultural practices and institutional structures influence adolescent girls' engagement and achievement in school. This study was an attempt to further investigate that claim by describing the perceptions of agency held by four adolescent girls in high school. Members of the same English class, the girls volunteered to participate in three lunchtime meetings to discuss Evelyn Coleman's (2001) Born In Sin. Analysis of classroom observations, transcripts of audio recordings of the book discussions, and individual interviews yielded a more precise definition of agency than those used in previous research, including a view of agency as dialogic. In addition, four major themes describe these girls' agentic moves: (1) a temporal orientation, which connects the past, present, and future; (2) responsibility for positive and negative events; (3) strategic decision making; (4) negotiating with people in power. Implications of this study inform both teaching decisions and future research related to adolescent girls.

Propuesta de mejora del rendimiento sobre la inversión en inventarios para una empresa de bebidas no alcohólicasChávez Cabanillas, Karina Raquel, Cruz Luján, Luis Antonio de la, Rodas Risso, Sylvia Karina 02 1900 (has links)
La presente tesis parte de la evaluación de la empresa Arca Continental Lindley, que en adelante será llamada AC Lindley, del sector de bebidas en Latinoamérica y en Perú. En este sentido, cabe resaltar, que se trata del mayor fabricante de bebidas no alcohólicas en el Perú y empresa líder del sector. Se realizó un análisis estratégico de la compañía, examinando las cinco fuerzas competitivas del entorno según Michael Porter (1979) e identificando estrategias de crecimiento y de mejora en la productividad según el desarrollo de FODA cruzado. Además, se llevó a cabo una comparación con el actual plan estratégico hasta el 2021. Por otro lado, basados en los estudios sobre la situación del Supply Chain Management en el Perú -que clasifican a las cadenas de suministros de empresas en función a dos factores: el nivel automatización en la gestión de inventarios y la percepción de la eficacia en la operación- se identificó que AC Lindley se ubica en el nivel pragmático. Es decir, tiene bajo nivel de automatización en la gestión de inventarios y una alta percepción de la eficacia en su operación. Asimismo, con el uso de las herramientas del modelo SCOR, se realizó el diagnóstico de la cadena de suministros de AC Lindley partiendo, previamente, de la descripción y análisis de los elementos, procesos y actividades de su cadena de suministros. Con este fin, se utilizaron los indicadores de dicho modelo para hacer un benchmarking con la empresa Backus, calificada con la mejor cadena de suministros del Perú.

Implementación de un sistema web business intelligence para la gestión de indicadores en la empresa Crea+ a través de la plataforma PentahoRosales Barreto, Ciro, Cruz Palacios, Jessy 06 January 2015 (has links)
The present project "Web System for decision-making of Crea+" is developed in the course "Taller de Proyecto 1 y 2" and is in charge of the virtual enterprise ITExpert (Virtual Enterprise specializing in analysis, design and implementation of innovative solutions and services in technology information) belonging to the UPC (Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas). In recent decades the information management in companies has taken a high-level importance. This is because the transformation of data into information can be a critical difference between the survival of the company or decommissioning. This report will analyze and model the process "Indicator Management" of the organization nonprofit Crea+ focusing on the different component activities and aligning the current work that the organization performed in order to implement a web information system that helps decision making. The Management information systems allow data collection of the activities in the organization in order to analyze and obtaining valuable information. This information will support the decisions made by executives which will affect positively or negatively to organizational development. Also, because of the importance of these decisions the information systems have evolved and improved the way to organize and present data for easy analysis. One of the tools used for decision-making is the Balanced Scorecard becouse the complexity when handling large amounts of information generates the need to know what happens in the organization. In this sense, the organization Crea+ has seen the need to organize their information in one of these management information systems for which has been seen as a better alternative to implement a Business Intelligence web system. In this way each member of the relevant area of the organization can access to the information contained in the web system and view the status of the company based on the data collected so they can generate reports for senior executives of the organization Crea+. / El presente proyecto está a cargo de la empresa virtual ITExpert, empresa virtual especializada en análisis, diseño e implementación de soluciones y servicios innovadores en tecnología de información perteneciente a la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias aplicadas (UPC). En las últimas décadas el manejo de la información en las empresas ha tomado una importancia de alto nivel. Esto se debe a que en el proceso de gestión de la información la transformación de los datos recopilados en información pueden ser un diferencial crítico que puede definir la subsistencia de la empresa o el cierre definitivo de la misma. Esta memoria analizará y modelará el proceso de Gestión de Indicadores de la organización sin fines de lucro, Crea+, enfocándose en las diferentes actividades que lo componen y alineándose al trabajo actual que la organización realiza con la finalidad de implementar un sistema de información web que ayude a la toma de decisiones. Asimismo, debido a la importancia de estas decisiones, los sistemas de información han ido evolucionado y mejorando la manera de organizar y presentar los datos para su fácil análisis. Una de las herramientas utilizadas para la toma de decisiones es el Balanced Scorecard, ya que cada vez la complejidad al momento de manejar grandes cantidades de información genera la necesidad de tener un cuadro de mando integral que reúna toda la data lo cual en los últimos días es exigido por los gerentes. En este sentido, la organización Crea+ se ha visto en la necesidad de organizar su información en alguno de estos sistemas de información gerencial y para lo cual se ha considerado como mejor alternativa implementar un sistema web de Business Intelligence. De esta manera, cada miembro del área pertinente de la organización, podrá acceder a la información contenida en el sistema web y conocer el estado de las actividades de Crea+ en base a la data recopilada, y así poder generar reportes para los altos mandos ejecutivos de la organización Crea+. / Tesis

Sin and human accountability in second temple JudaismNamgung, Young 08 1900 (has links)
i
Sanders (1977:114) contends that “[s]in comes only when man actually disobeys; if he were not to disobey he would not be a sinner.” This thesis was thus motivated to critique Sanders’s contention in relation to sin and human accountability in Second Temple Judaism. Before delving into various understandings of sin and human accountability of Second Temple Judaism, in Chapter 2, I deal with the Weltanschauung of Second Temple Judaism. It was observed that Israel’s covenantal history is far from discontinuous with creation at a time of severe theological, sociological, and political plights in spite of the presence of sin and evil. In Chapters 3, I deal with how the authors of 1 Enoch and Jubilees understood the presence of sin and evil. Even though the Watcher story in these Enochic traditions serves to attribute the origin of sin to the fallen angels, it was observed the Watcher story cannot quench Second Temple Jews’ uneasiness in relation to the presence of sin and evil. In Chapter 4, I deal with Qumran literature. By focusing on the term yetzer ra both in pre-Qumran and in Qumran writings, it is worth noting that Qumran literature shows a tendency to realize the severity of the sinfulness of humanity in a complicated and radicalized manner. When looking at first century Jewish (4 Ezra and 2 Baruch) and early Christian (Romans and James) literature in Chapter 5, it was observed that the authors of 4 Ezra and 2 Baruch came to develop further pessimistic anthropologies distinct from their predecessors in the Second Temple period. However, for them, a possibility is open for the few righteous remnants to obey divine commandments. It can be said that their understandings of sin and human accountability appear to be synergistic. For Paul and James, however, the paradigm of the relationship between divine agency and human agency is shifted from synergism to monergism in terms of the Jesus Christ event. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2017. / Old Testament Studies / PhD / Unrestricted

The Prodigal Daughter: An Edition of an Anonymous TextDeans, Paige 01 January 2019 (has links)
The Prodigal Daughter (1736) is a poem that, on the surface, appears to be an approachable text that was likely geared towards a children’s audience during New England’s first Great Awakening, within the approachable format of a chapbook. However, when explored further, The Prodigal Daughter reveals a complicated textual history during a time of theological and social revival in New England. This thesis considers the historical context of The Prodigal Daughter’s narrative, as well as the poem’s publication history. The text’s transmission is carefully examined and encapsulated in this edition—giving the reader a transcription that is the result of collating twenty-eight surviving witnesses of The Prodigal Daughter. This thesis serves as a critical edition of The Prodigal Daughter, with an introduction which includes a careful consideration of gendered theology, homiletics, the literary marketplace, and the role of the devil in the female conversion narrative during New England’s first Great Awakening.
