Dance is the language of the soul. Dance, as a theological source, can remind us of who we are in and with the living perichoresis of the Trinity. Dance, as embodied art, can provide us with a new way of viewing and discussing pneumatology and that we too, in our incarnate reality, participate in perichoresis. Within this work I seek to answer the questions of how dance is a source of theology, why a pneumatology of the body is significant, and how dance provides a framework for a pneumatology of the body. The creation of a pneumatology of the body is a rooting or re-membering of the Spirit and our own spirit in incarnational—skin and bones—reality that includes us in Trinitarian perichoresis. Pneumatology of the body is dancing with the Holy Spirit in our given time and space to retrieve the dignity of our embodied inspirited selves as made in the imago Dei. The gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit are not abstract concepts. Through dance as embodied art we can move from abstract, intellectual concepts of the Spirit to incarnational truth of our flesh and blood, wounds and joys, where the Trinity dwells within and around.Dance as a source of theology can provide a framework for a pneumtology of the body. The Holy Spirit as relationality holding all of life together is our Holy Bridge. Within this work, we re-member our foundational belief in the interconnectedness of body and soul, and that we too participate in the Trinitarian perichoresis as part of God’s dancing revelation. In a world of division and duality, the Spirit as Holy Bridge brings us back home to the core of who we are individually and collectively, while dance provides a space for honoring difference and duality together in harmony. Dance gives expression to situations and things in our lives that are challenging to grasp conceptually and intellectually, while allowing for the embodied witnessing of a person’s and community’s story.A dancing theology as a framework for a pneumatology of the body reminds us that Spirit is our Holy Bridge between body, senses, feelings, challenges, and transformations, between my body soul temple and your body soul temple, and between individual and communal. By dancing with us in our daily lives, the Holy Spirit draws us ever deeper across loving bridges into communion with Trinitarian perichoresis. The Trinity is the Dance of Life in which the Spirit performs the role of empowering the never-ending communion and relational vitality that is God in and with Godself.

"Reflection" is an experiment with what I call"symbolic architecture" i.e. design where the features of the building have a profound meaning or a strong recall to some familiar aspect in our lives. It is a meditation center designed to rejuvenate visitors by providing an ideal environment to practice and teach meditation. The design is inspired by concepts of Hindu philosophy and each element of the building, the light, the materials, the water and the structure is likened to an element of the spiritual being that helps a meditator achieve a connection between the body and the soul. / Master of Architecture

Yes / This study adopted a mixed methods approach, with the quantitative element forming the core component and the qualitative dimension assuming the supplementary component to assess Job Satisfaction (JS)and Organisational Commitment (OC) as mediators in the relationship between Spirit at Work (SAW) and Organisational Citizenship Behaviour(OCB) within the Australian higher education sector. It is expected that by 2025, job satisfaction and burnout will cause large numbers of academic staff to leave Australian universities. Regression and structural equation modelling analysed the study’s quantitative data. NVivo was used to analyse qualitative data. The findings illustrate that SAW significantly affects OCB, JS and OC. Most notably, the results indicate no significant differences between the permanent and casual staff’s level of SAW and none between their JS, OC and OCB levels. This finding contradicts previous research. The overall findings in this article further highlight necessary changes to Australian universities’ current management and leadership approaches to create more satisfied and committed employees.

[pt] Em que sentido pode-se considerar a psicanálise uma ciência? Esta é a questão que norteia este trabalho. Embora saiba-se que Freud, durante toda sua obra, tenha concebido a psicanálise como uma ciência, o estatuto epistemológico da psicanálise permaneceu controverso ao longo do debate filosófico das ciências no último século. Este debate orientou-se, em geral, pela diferenciação entre as ciências humanas e as ciências naturais, originada na segunda metade do século XIX. Contrapondo a teoria positivista das ciências à nova epistemologia proposta por Wilhelm Dilthey em sua Introdução às ciências do espírito, esta dissertação pretende mostrar que a noção freudiana de ciência se aproxima em alguns aspectos importantes da epistemologia das ciências do espírito pensada por Dilthey. / [en] In what sense may we regard psychoanalysis as a science? This is the question which leads this dissertation. Although its known that Freud, during all his works, has conceived psychoanalysis as a science, epistemological meaning of psychoanalysis remained controversial during last centurys philosophical debate on sciences. This debate has been generally oriented by differenciation between human sciences and nature sciences, which origins are to be sought in the second half of nineteenth century. Confronting positivisms theory of sciences and the new epistemology proposed by Wilhelm Dilthey in his Introduction on spirit sciences, this dissertation aims to demonstrate that Freuds notion of science approaches in some main aspects the epistemology of spirit sciences brought out by Dilthey.

[ES] El presente estudio se centra en abordar aquellos aspectos relacionados con la "belleza" que pasan desapercibidos en la visión clásica y que tampoco son reconocidos o apreciados en su plenitud en las perspectivas internacionales. En este análisis proponemos una visión alternativa a los cánones actuales nombrada "belleza intangible" para distinguirla del sentido de la belleza racional y visible. Para ello hemos examinado una serie de conceptos culturales y enfoques estéticos relacionados con la expresión del espíritu abstracto y el tiempo en las culturas de Asia Oriental, China y Japón, encontrando asimismo expresiones similares en la perspectiva de Occidente. En el proceso de observación documental también hemos profundizado en la comprensión de algunos conceptos estéticos como: el Yijing, lo vacío, Wabi-sabi, Y¿gen, Mono no aware, las ruinas y la nostalgia. Por otra parte, hemos estudiado la propia naturaleza de las imágenes fotográficas y sus expresiones particulares asociadas a esta connotación estética. El conocimiento del tiempo, el espacio y la belleza que transmiten estas expresiones artísticas son aspectos característicos de las distintas culturas que nos acercan a los planteamientos estéticos de los demás. Este trabajo analiza la manifestación práctica de dichas nociones a través de un estudio de caso de imágenes fotográficas de los artistas orientales y occidentales: Lang Jingshan, Yang Yongliang, Yamamoto Masao, Wolfgang Tillmans, Albarrán Cabrera y Sally Mann. Con todo ello, hemos logrado desvelar y contemplar dicha belleza relacionada con la expresión del espíritu abstracto y el tiempo al que apunta el objetivo del estudio. Por ultimo, en esta investigación se ha llevado a cabo un proyecto de experimentación artística para verificar la revelación y percepción de la belleza intangible a través de imágenes fotográficas. / [CAT] El present estudi se centra en abordar aquells aspectes relacionats amb la "bellesa" que passen desapercebuts en la visió clàssica i que tampoc són reconeguts o benvolguts en la seua plenitud en les perspectives internacionals. En aquesta anàlisi proposem una visió alternativa als cànons actuals nomenada "bellesa intangible" per a distingir-la del sentit de la bellesa racional i visible. Per a això hem examinat una sèrie de conceptes culturals i enfocaments estètics relacionats amb l'expressió de l'esperit abstracte i el temps en les cultures d'Àsia Oriental, la Xina i el Japó, trobant així mateix expressions similars en la perspectiva d'Occident. En el procés d'observació documental també hem aprofundit en la comprensió d'alguns conceptes estètics com: el Yijing, el buit, Wabi-sabi, Y¿gen, Mono no aware, les ruïnes i la nostàlgia. D'altra banda, hem estudiat la pròpia naturalesa de les imatges fotogràfiques i les seues expressions particulars associades a aquesta connotació estètica. El coneixement del temps, l'espai i la bellesa que transmeten aquestes expressions artístiques són aspectes característics de les diferents cultures que ens acosten als plantejaments estètics de els altres. Aquest treball analitza la manifestació pràctica d'aquestes nocions a través d'un estudi de cas d'imatges fotogràfiques dels artistes orientals i occidentals: Lang Jingshan, Yang Yongliang, Yamamoto Masao, Wolfgang Tillmans, Albarrán Cabrera i Sally Mann. Amb tot això, hem aconseguit revelar i contemplar aquesta bellesa relacionada amb l'expressió de l'esperit abstracte i el temps al qual apunta l'objectiu de l'estudi. Per ultime, en aquesta investigació s'ha portat a cap un projecte d'experimentació artística per a verificar la revelació i percepció de la bellesa intangible a través d'imatges fotogràfiques. / [EN] The present study focuses on addressing those aspects of "beauty" that are underestimated in the classical view and which are either unrecognised or underappreciated in their plenitude in international perspectives. In this analysis, we propose an alternative vision to the current canons called "intangible beauty" to distinguish it from the rational and visible sense of beauty. For this purpose we have examined a number of cultural concepts and aesthetic approaches related to the expression of abstract spirit and time in the East Asian cultures of China and Japan, as well as finding similar expressions in Western perspectives. In the process of documentary observation we further deepened our understanding of some aesthetic concepts such as: the Yijing, emptiness, Wabi-sabi, Y¿gen, Mono no aware, ruins and nostalgia. On the other hand, we have studied the proper nature of photographic images and their particular expressions associated with this aesthetic connotation. The knowledge of time, space and beauty conveyed by these artistic expressions are characteristic aspects of different cultures that bring us closer to each other's aesthetic approaches. This work examines the practical manifestation of these notions through a case study of photographic images by Eastern and Western artists: Lang Jingshan, Yang Yongliang, Masao Yamamoto, Wolfgang Tillmans, Albarrán Cabrera and Sally Mann. With all this, we have managed to unveil and contemplate such beauty related to the expression of the abstract spirit and the time to which the aim of the study is directed. Furthermore, during this research, an artistic experimentation project has been carried out to verify the revelation and perception of intangible beauty through photographic images. / Xiu, K. (2023).

La présente recherche porte sur Healing Our Spirit Worldwide (HOSW), un mouvement autochtone de guérison international. Les rassemblements HOSW, qui se déroulent à un intervalle variable dans différents pays, sont des lieux de célébration de la résilience des peuples autochtones et contribuent à l’émergence d’un sentiment de communauté et de solidarité entre les participants. Une description brève du mouvement, notamment vis-à-vis de son historique, son mandat et sa structure, est complétée par l’exemple du sixième rassemblement qui s’est déroulé à Honolulu, Hawai’i en septembre 2010. Celui-ci est mis à profit pour illustrer plus clairement la nature du mouvement et mettre en relief les discours des conférenciers lors de cet événement sur les thèmes de la guérison et de l’autochtonéité qui sont au cœur des intentions de recherche. La recherche met en lumière la dimension relationnelle de la guérison et de l’autochtonéité telles qu’elles sont décrites au sein du mouvement HOSW. / This research examines Healing Our Spirit Worldwide (HOSW), an international indigenous healing movement. HOSW gatherings, which take place every few years, each time in a different country, are spaces in which the resilience of indigenous peoples is celebrated; these events contribute to the emergence of a feeling of community and solidarity between the participants. A brief description of the movement, relating to its history, mandate and structure, is completed by the example of the sixth gathering which took place in September 2010 in Honolulu, Hawai’i. This event illustrates more clearly the nature of the movement and provides relevant context to the analysis of the discourses of speakers of this gathering on the themes of healing and indigeneity which are at the heart of this research. This research highlights the relational dimension of healing and indigeneity as they are described within the HOSW movement.

The Kingdom of God is wherever the Triune God is worshipped as Lord. It exists beyond time and place, but breaks into our time and place wherever creation worships the Triune God as Lord. The local church, in its present time and geographical place, is the microcosm of the Kingdom of God. As such, the local church contains within it all the resources necessary for the Kingdom of God to be established. Therefore, the local church is called to lead creation to worship the Triune God as Lord. It does this by fulfilling three specific works as specified in Scripture: the work of evangelism; the work of discipleship and the work of reconciliation. The modern day church must start a revolution to discover afresh these works and become what Scripture describes as the ecclesia of the hodos: the local church extending the Kingdom of God. / Systematic Theology & Theological Ethics / M.Th.
