1	Strife, Balance, and Allegiance : The Schemata of Will in Five Novels of D. H. Lawrence Fiddes, Teresa Monahan 08 1900 (has links) D. H. Lawrence made the final break through the mask of Victorian prudery to gain a full conception of man and his role in the universe. His principal emphasis is on the restoration of man's conception of himself as animal, an animal capable of conceptualizing, but essentially animal all the same. In attempting to restore man to the mindless state of irrational animism, Lawrence did away with the conventional idea of man as the perfection of God's created universe. Lawrence did not conceive of man as being controller of the natural universe; he thought of man as being, like Mellors in Lady Chatterly's Lover, a warden who lives within natural order. He attacks vain intellectual sophistry of the scientific, industrial society and finds man to be a brute spirit caged by the conventions of his puny reason and his self-imposed social customs. Philosophically, he changes the emphasis from being to becoming. strife balance allegiance will novels D. H. Lawrence
2	Collective relationships and the emotion culture of radical feminism in Britain, 1983-1991 Kalayji, Lisa Marie January 2018 (has links) The political tensions between different feminisms, emerging virtually in tandem with the origins of 'second wave' women's movements themselves, continue to present challenges for cooperation and collective action. If flourishing feminist solidarities are to be forged, it is imperative to attend to these divisions, requiring a robust understanding of how they have developed. Though a growing body of research exists on the emotions of feminism, alongside a much more expansive one on emotions and social movements more generally, the emotions of specific feminist movements remain relatively under-explored. This research aims to generate a deeper understanding of radical feminism through a historical examination of its emotion culture during the crucial transition between the development of the 'second wave' of Women's Liberation in the 1970s and the emergence of the 'third wave' in the 1990s. It takes radical feminist writings about the timely and controversial paradigms of medicine and psychoanalysis as a window on the movement's emotion culture in the 1980s. Employing archival documentary methods and a case study approach, the research draws upon the pivotal radical feminist magazine Trouble and Strife as its sole data source. Exploring the text through literary ethnographic analysis and foregrounding a historical lens, it surfaces radical feminism's emotion culture and highlights the way that its development was bound up with the specificities of its historical moment. The movement's emotion culture was fundamentally a relational one, constituted through its specific political lens on the relationships in which radical feminists were entangled. As the 'heady days' of 1970s radical social movements gave way to the British state's turn to neoliberalism, the proliferating reach of its individualist ideological paradigm, and deepening divisions between the evolving strands of the 'second wave', radical feminists were confronted with an array of changing relationships to negotiate. Their uniquely uncompromising stance toward men, their long-established tense relationship with socialist and Marxist feminisms, and their critical view of ascending feminist uptake of psychoanalysis gave rise to an emotion culture which centred around their relationships with each of these. This research contributes to theories of emotions in social movements by focusing on the historically and ideologically specific, rather than emphasising the more general social movement strategic goals which are a common (though not universal) focus in this area. It adds to a small body of work on background emotions, and shows one way that they can be studied empirically. It also contributes to the growing body of work on feminism and emotions, and particularly to research which aims to explain the contentions between feminisms, as feminist researchers move away from the outmoded view of these contentions as simplistic generational divides and seek out explanations through the complex emotionality of feminist relationships.
3	O Morro da VitÃria: um estudo socioantropolÃgico de agÃncias constitutivas no calor de um conflito. Igor Moreira de Sousa Pinto 06 February 2017 (has links) nÃo hÃ / Esta pesquisa aborda a ocupaÃÃo que deu origem Ã comunidade Morro da VitÃria, prÃximo ao Farol Novo do Mucuripe, Fortaleza-Ce. Estuda o contexto sÃcio-espacial e polÃtico do acontecimento, as prÃticas, estratÃgias e aÃÃes de agentes individuais e coletivos em meio Ã luta. Analisa a constituiÃÃo da âcomunidade polÃticaâ do Morro da VitÃria, alÃm da sua criaÃÃo sÃcio-espacial, a criaÃÃo da âComissÃoâ e do âBarracÃoâ e suas agÃncias confrontadoras e mediadoras junto ao Estado, a organizaÃÃo da comunidade e articulaÃÃo desta com seus aliados, a constituiÃÃo do âgrupoâ fundador da associaÃÃo (e outras formas organizativas) e a instituiÃÃo da âlideranÃa comunitÃriaâ. Trata de uma sÃrie de acontecimentos desencadeados no inÃcio de 2001, que resultaram num grande conflito fundiÃrio, apÃs a ocupaÃÃo de quadras no âmorroâ que estavam destinadas Ã construÃÃo de um conjunto habitacional, no bojo de um projeto de âurbanizaÃÃoâ que implicaria remoÃÃo de famÃlias de Ãreas prÃximas da praia para o cimo do campo de dunas, em torno ao farol. Com isso, hÃ um intenso processo de transformaÃÃes e produÃÃo do espaÃo, de relaÃÃes sociais e legitimidades polÃticas. No contexto de conflitos sÃcio-espaciais na regiÃo pesquisada, uma peculiaridade: por que no caso do Morro da VitÃria, alÃm de ocupar, pessoas decidiram resistir Ãs tentativas de despejo? Levando em conta que as ocupaÃÃes na regiÃo se caracterizam muito mais como prÃticas discretas de resistÃncia e que quando hÃ reaÃÃo repressiva os ocupantes saem sem muita resistÃncia ou veem esta frustrada, por que decidiram resistir e como conseguiram vencer? Para entender tal fenÃmeno, a pesquisa mobiliza teorias sociolÃgicas sobre prÃticas e estratÃgias, agÃncia individual e aÃÃo coletiva, bem como analisa a emergÃncia da dimensÃo moral de luta por reconhecimento. Tais cotejamentos teÃricos dialogam com narrativas colhidas atravÃs de uma pesquisa relacional e afetiva que, alÃm dos relatos, busca impressÃes, anÃlises e noÃÃes dos agentes envolvidos a partir de anos de convivÃncia e da realizaÃÃo de entrevistas em profundidade, numa abordagem antropolÃgica da polÃtica onde os ânativosâ, alÃm de informar, participam do processo de teorizaÃÃo a respeito dos acontecimentos, das agÃncias e das instituiÃÃes envolvidas. ocupaÃÃo Acontecimento Luta Moradia PolÃtica Etnografia urbana Occupation Happening Strife Housing Politics Urban ethnography SOCIOLOGIA
4	The causes of victory and defeat in the light of chapter eight of the Holy Qur'an al-Mushawwah, Khalid bin Addallah 30 November 2002 (has links) The present study covers the causes of victory and defeat in the light of chapter eight of the Holy Qur'an. It has been prompted by the current situation facing Muslims in many parts of the world, which is characterized by despair, reversals and loss, This study is thus reflexive in nature. In order to obtain a satisfactory response to this predicament, the relevant text in addition to several of its commentaries were scrutinized. The latter search remained unsatisfactory since their focus of inquiry was merely exegetical and failed to reveal any didactic element, which is crucial for obtaining guidance. This work has successfully managed to deduce this aspect from the text which amplifies the importance of extensive sacrifice for gaining glory. / Religious Studies and Arabic / M.A. (Islamic studies) Victory Quran Jihad Hadith Jurisprudence Divine reliance Patience Endurance Sincerity Preparations / Precautions Divine invocation Defeat Strife Retreat Infedelity War spoils 297.1226

6	A Cross-National Study of the Correlates of Civil Strife in Middle Eastern Nations, 1960-73 Ganji, Ghorbanali 05 1900 (has links) The main objective of this research is to test some of the hypotheses linking economic development, social mobilization, legitimacy, and the coerciveness of the regime with internal political conflict. Each proposed hypothesis is to be tested across sixteen predominantly Islamic Middle Eastern nations for data from two time periods, 1960-66 and 1967-73. To check for the consistency and strength of the hypothesized relationships the test results for each hypothesis for the first period data will be compared with those of the second period. internal politcal conflict civil strife economic development social mobilization coerciveness of the regime

Yet what is lacking is a contemporary analysis that concentrates on the current multipolar system in which the importance of economic alliances and power surpass military power, and how this affects weak states' foreign policy behavior and trade opportunities. This research therefore offers an empirical analysis on great power geopolitical competition between Russia and China over Turkmenistan's economic allegiance, specifically regarding its natural gas export, and seeks to explain how this geopolitical competition has affected Turkmenistan's foreign energy policy behavior as a weak state vis-á-vis these great powers. Additionally, this research seeks to examine how Turkmenistan has even instrumentalized this competition to further its national interest of energy export diversification. More specifically, this research shows that great power competition has played a...
8	Der Stand der Demokratisierung und der Herausbildung einer Zivilgesellschaft in Ägypten am Beispiel des Diskurses über die autochthone christliche Minderheit der Kopten Macêdo, Martina Bolz de Jesus 19 October 2009 (has links) Die Meinungen über die Chancen einer Demokratisierung im Nahen und Mittleren Osten sind geteilt. Diese Arbeit versucht für Ägypten eine Einschätzung zu geben. Als bevölkerungsreichstes und eines der politisch bedeutsamsten Länder der Region könnte es eine Vorbildfunktion einnehmen. Die Dissertation untersucht an einem Fallbeispiel, den Ausschreitungen zwischen Muslimen und Christen in einem oberägyptischen Dorf 1999/ 2000, in welcher Form und in welchem Ausmaß sich staatliche Akteure, religiöse Institutionen und die Bürger zum heiklen Thema der Gefährdung der Rechte von Minderheiten im öffentlichen Diskurs zu Wort melden und dabei das Kriterium des Pluralismus, im Sinne von Toleranz und Ablehnung von Gewalt, erfüllen. Pessimistische Stimmen versagen dem Nahen und Mittleren Osten insbesondere wegen der dort vorherrschenden Religion eine Reformierbarkeit der politischen Kultur und stigmatisieren den Islam als Demokratisierungshindernis. Diese Arbeit beobachtet jedoch, dass es empirisch bereits einige Merkmale gibt, die auf eine Zunahme von Pluralismus in der ägyptischen Gesellschaft hindeuten. Sie zeigt die Anzeichen für die Herausbildung einer freien Öffentlichkeit und einer Zivilgesellschaft auf, die langfristig auf die Konsolidierung von Demokratie und nicht auf deren Zerstörung hinarbeitet. Gleichzeitig ist diese Arbeit eine Art in Szene gesetztes, lebendiges „Who is who?“ der gegenwärtigen Minderheiten- und Menschenrechtsbewegung in Ägypten. 1 / The current status of democratization and civil society development in Egypt through the example of the discourse on the indigenous Christian minority of the Copts. Opinions regarding the chances of democratization in the Middle East are divided. The thesis attempts to give an evaluation in the case of Egypt. As the most populous and one of the politically most influencing countries of that region Egypt could take the function of a role model. The dissertation investigates, on the basis of a case study – the clashes between Muslims and Christians in an Upper Egyptian village in 1999/ 2000 - in what form and to what extent state actors, religious institutions and citizens take a stand in public discourse on the sensitive issue of endangering the rights of minorities and thereby meet the criteria of pluralism in the sense of tolerance and rejection of violence. Pessimistic voices deny the Middle East a reformability of its political culture particularly with regard to the predominating religion there and stigmatize Islam as an obstacle to democratization. This study however, shows empirically that there are already some indications that point towards an increase of pluralism in Egyptian society and towards the development of a free public sphere and a civil society that in the long term can lead to the consolidation of democracy and not to its destruction. At the same time this study is a kind of status report and “Who’s who?” of the current minority – and human rights movement in Egypt.
