The local political system of the colonels and the legitimacy of its hegemony by the Roman Catholic Church. Thesis in fulfillment of the Master’s degree submitted to the co-ordenating committee of the Religious Sciences’ department, The Catholic University of Goiás. Goiânia, Brazil. 2004. What is proposed in this thesis is the interpretation of the regionalist literary work of Bernardo Élis underscoring the hogemony of the political system of the colonels as legitimated by the Roman Catholic Church. In order to achieve this objective a research bibliography of important authors was composed. The concept of hegemony and reflection on the religious question were investigated in Gramsci showing how the Catholic Church was an ideological instrument of the State. In Maria Isaura P. de Queiroz, Victor Nunes Leal, Francisco Itami Campos, Eul-Soo Pang, Nasr Fayad Chaul, and others views about the political system of the colonels were extracted. Initially, one proceeded in an analysis of the socio-economic and political context of the formation period of Bernardo Élis as an individual in exercize of this citizenship and a committed writer trying to delineate the characteristics of his regionalism, the space that this takes up in the literary milieu, and his dilemma between a religious formation and a Communist ideology. What was sought, in following, was a description of the political system of the colonels, Its structure, its function, and the system of its local manner of execution. What was also investigated in the prose works of Bernardo Élis was his vision of the power of the colonels and the client- colonel relationships which evidence his denouncement of the orders, disorders, and injustices practicised by that land gentry. On the same it was examined how the author potrays religious manifestations while showing his respect for them. Finally, the hegemoniacal structure of the pocitical system of the colonels was discussed as legitimated by the Church which finds itself allied not only to tho local, but also to the national power structure. / NASCIMENTO, Oscalina Maria de Jesus. O mandonismo local e a legitimação de sua hegemonia pela Igreja Católica em Bernardo Élis. Dissertação de mestrado apresentada à coordenação do Mestrado em Ciências da Religião. Goiânia: Universidade Católica de Goiás, 2004. Fazer uma interpretação da obra regionalista de Bernardo Élis, destacando a hegemonia do coronelismo legitimada pela Igreja é o que se propõe neste trabalho. Para o alcance desse propósito, fez-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica de alguns importantes autores. Em Gramsci, buscou-se o conceito de hegemonia e a sua reflexão sobre a questão religiosa, mostrando a Igreja Católica como um aparelho ideológico de Estado. Em Maria Isaura P. de Queiroz, Victor Nunes Leal, Francisco Itami Campos, Eul-Soo Pang, Nasr Fayad Chaul e outros extraíram-se noções sobre coronelismo. Inicialmente, procedeu-se a uma análise do contexto sócio-econômico e político do período da formação de Bernardo Élis como indivíduo no exercício de sua cidadania e como escritor engajado, buscando salientar os traços de seu regionalismo, o espaço que ocupa no meio literário e seu dilema entre a sua formação religiosa e a sua ideologia comunista. Procurou-se, em prosseguimento, descrever a origem do coronelismo, suas características, sua estrutura, sua função, o mandonismo local. Também, investigou-se, na prosa bernardiana, a sua visão do poder dos coronéis, as relações coronel-clientela as quais evidenciam sua denúncia sobre os mandos e desmandos e as injustiças praticadas por esses senhores da terra. Igualmente, examinou-se como o autor apresenta as manifestações de religiosidade, mostrando o seu respeito por elas. Por fim, discutiu-se a estrutura hegemônica do coronelismo legitimada pela Igreja a qual se encontra aliada não só ao poder local mas ao poder nacional.

Dekonstruksie van die Christus-kerk metafoor in pastorale huweliksterapie

Seegers, Jacobus Johannes 30 June 2005 (has links)
The purpose of this research journey is twofold: 1. To deconstruct the Christ-church metaphor in Ephesians 5:21-33 in pastoral marital therapy. To find a more ethical interpretation of this metaphor which can be used as an aid in marital therapy in order to deconstruct patriarchal stereotypes in marriage. 2. To discover the possible value of such an interpretation for marital therapy as well as to describe the journey with a couple who helped to determine the process by which this interpretation could be used as and aid to deconstruct patriarchal discourses in marriage. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / (M.Th.

Žena Bible ve spektru civilizací : Role ženy pohledem českých křesťanek / Woman of the Bible in the Spectrum of Civilizations - How Czech Christian Women View Womanhood

WINSTED, Margareta January 2012 (has links)
This thesis concerns scientific, philosophical and religious views of womanhood. Its main focus is the nature of biblical womanhood, based on the papal apostolic letter Mulieris dignitatem and contemporary studies of American biblists, concerning biblical manhood and womanhood. The practical section consists of qualitative research among Czech Christian women. It examines how Christian women view their role and practically implement principles of biblical womanhood in their family, society and church. The aim of this thesis is not to evaluate controversial issues, such as women?s ordination, homosexuality, or other questions regarding womanhood. Nevertheless, it seeks to explore biblical womanhood in practice, as well as the concerns and struggles of real Christian women. Of no less importance, this research tries to identify how Christian women, who are a minority in the Czech Republic, develop their views on biblical womanhood, the sources from which they draw, as well as the models, which influence them.

Understanding the harm of rape

Kelland, Lindsay-Ann 19 April 2013 (has links)
The aims of this thesis are twofold: to provide an account of the lived experience of the harm of male-on-female rape in patriarchal societies and, on the basis of this account, to generate suggestions that could be of use in the recovery process for survivors of this type of rape. In order to reach these aims my thesis is divided into three parts. In the first part, I propose a phenomenologically based account of women’s situation as a group under patriarchy, according to which women as a group are subjugated to the hegemonic rule of patriarchal ideology. I argue, further, that the meaning, place and pervasiveness of sexual objectification in the lives of women under patriarchy typically results in women’s alienation from their bodies and creates an atmosphere of threat under which women qua women are especially vulnerable to rape. In the second part, I explore the lived experience of the harm of rape; focusing, first, on the reflexive process whereby a survivor attempts to understand how she has been harmed and, second, on providing explanations based on shared features in the lives of women for two phenomena reported to be experienced by rape victims in the aftermath of the trauma, which I call ‘shattering’ and ‘fragmentation'. My discussion of the lived experience of the harm of rape is meant to supplement existing accounts in the contemporary literature that, I argue, are limited to a thirdperson, objective point of view and so fail to provide a link between the harms they describe and the victim’s actual experience of these harms. Finally, I defend two suggestions for the building up of the survivor’s agency and personhood in the aftermath of rape—the deliberate therapeutic use of feminist consciousness-raising and the use of narrative understanding. / Adobe Acrobat 9.53 Paper Capture Plug-in

François, l’ami désenchanté : La figure de Huysmans et l’altruisme dans Soumissionde Michel Houellebecq

Klingenheim, Bettina January 2020 (has links)
Ce mémoire interroge la place qu’occupe le personnage historique, Joris-Karl Huysmans (1848-1907) dans le roman Soumission (2015) de Michel Houellebecq. Située en France en 2022, l’histoire met en scène François, spécialiste de Huysmans. Afin de cerner le rôle de Huysmans dans l’histoire, nous nous sommes intéressée à l’amitié que François exprime pour lui, leurs affinités et leurs divergences. Les polémiques suscitées lors de la parution du roman nous ont poussé à également considérer la moralité de l’histoire. L’aspect temporel du roman, situé dans un futur proche, est important car il laisse supposer une comparaison. Ainsi, notamment la notion de politique-fiction - anticipation de faible amplitude -, ainsi que des concepts narratologiques empruntés à Genette - transtextualité, voix et mode -, ont fourni des outils d’analyse. De même, la recherche de Viard sur la vision politique de Houellebecq, et sa conception comtienne de la religion, a servi de guide. En premier lieu, nous avons ainsi montré que Houellebecq a créé l’illusion d’une réalité possible dans un cadre familier aux lecteurs, puis, en deuxième lieu, nous avons constaté que le narrateur est autodiégétique et la focalisation interne, ce qui nous a permis de faire le rapprochement entre le héros et la vie et l’oeuvre de Huysmans. Plus loin, l’association des caractéristiques de la politique fiction avec les fonctions testimoniale et idéologique du narrateur ont fait apparaître la figure de Huysmans comme plus largement le représentant de la décadence de la modernité. La vision antilibérale et critique exprimée par François rappelle donc le désenchantement dans la littérature « fin de siècle » dont Huysmans était un grand représentant. De plus nous avons constaté que si François et Huysmans ne partagent pas la même vision de la religion, ils partagent le même idéal conservateur de la femme et du couple. Enfin, ces éléments réunis, nous en sommes arrivée à la conclusion que plutôt que nihiliste, la moralité exprimée serait altruiste. / This essay interrogates the part played by the historical figure, Joris-Karl Huysmans (1848-1907) in Michel Houellebecqs novel Submission (2015). The story, set in France in 2022, revolves around François, specialist in Huysmans. In order to establish Huysmans role, we have focalized on François’s friendship, expressed by him, their affinities and their differences. The polemics brought on when the novel was published has also made us consider the moral of the story. The temporal aspect is important since it underscores a comparison between a plot set in the future and a historical figure. Here especially one notion of political fiction – speculation in a nearby future – has proven useful. It was furthermore the case of concepts in the field of narratology developed by Genette, intertextuality and metatextuality, voice and mode. Moreover, we have been guided by Viards theory regarding Houellebecqs political view as well as his vision on religion, inspired by Auguste Comte. Considered all together, this shows that Houellebecq has created an illusion of reality taking place in a familiar environment to which readers can relate. Further on, the narrator being homo-diegetic with an internally focalized perspective, makes it possible for us to conciliate the life of the hero with the life and works of Huysmans. We have also seen that the notions of political fiction, combined with the testimonial and ideological functions of the narrator, relates to the character of Huysmans as a representant of the decadency of modernity. Moreover, François’s anti-liberal and critical vision of France has a clear affinity with the disenchantment expressed in the 19th century, fin de siècle literature, of which Huysmans was a principal figure. We argue that although François and Huysmans don’t share the same vision of religion, they share the same conservative ideal of femininity and the couple. This all together has led us to the conclusion that the moral of the story rather than nihilistic is altruistic.

Lhůty při správě daní / Time limits in tax administration

Alexa, Karel January 2013 (has links)
Time limits in tax administration Time limits have an irreplaceable role in law. They are of a crucial importance especially in situations where a certain act (exercise of a right or a fulfillment of obligation) is limited by time so that after a certain time expiration it is possible to state that such an act was not performed and thus to draw legal consequences hereof. The main purpose of a time limit is the demarcation of the state of uncertainty as to whether the act will be performed or not and thus to determine either the legal consequence of the performance of the act or the consequences of the default of time. It is clear that the tax proceedings legislation also needs its time limits. Quite frequently it is necessary to set a certain time period for the performance of an act. This time period is set by a time limit. Otherwise it would be only possible to state that an act has already been performed or not yet been performed. It would however not be possible to state that the act was supposed to be performed, i.e. if a person who could have acted or was supposed to act, in fact did not act, the whole process of administration of taxes would come to a deadlock. The aim of this thesis is, firstly, to generally analyze the concept of time limits. The legal sciences deal with the general...

O ISS e a sua incidência na importação de serviços

Dantas, Leticia B. Tourinho 13 October 2010 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-26T20:19:28Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Leticia B Tourinho Dantas.pdf: 1597174 bytes, checksum: 5c44043243b574409da20f7947520f9b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-10-13 / The objective of this work is to study the rules that deal with the impact of the tax services (ISSQN) in situations that characterize the import of services in order to verify its compatibility with positive legislation. The research has as its starting point the analysis of the constitutional text, seeking to build content, meaning and scope of prescriptive statements that impact directly on the legal regime of the ISS. In this plan, we focus the study of standards of competence of the ISS and what constitutes it and other infraconstitucional enunciations, through studying the role of supplementary law on the conformation of the legal system of the ISS. Traced the boundaries of both substance and form that define the institution of Tax Services at the constitutional level, the archetype of this constitutional duty is achieved, partly to investigate these prescriptive statements introduced in the legal system from the LC 116/03, analyzing the limits of positive law, each of the criteria of the rule of taxation possible from the ISS by building their semantic content, focusing on those that can trigger further discussions in relation to the tax in imports of services, namely the substantive test, the space and subjective criteria. We concluded that neither the constitutional legislator nor complement legislator, the determination of the substantive (conjugation of the verb with the complement), limited, both vehicles sheaths to address the possible materiality of the tax as the provision of services. On the space criterion, closely related to the principle of territoriality, we verify the possibility of adopting the principle of origin, as well as the destination on the taxation of services, being indispensable to the location of taxable activity the existence of evidence of connection to the Brazilian legal system, in order to legitimize the tax. Regarding the subjective criterion, especially on the topic of passive submission, we note that the legislature has the freedom to choose those which are responsible for compliance with the tax liability within the prescribed limits, may choose different person from the one who gets the economic benefit arising from activity of service provision, provided that there is another rule that permits restitution (reimbursement or retention). That done, we begin the analysis of rule of tax incidence of the incident ISS on the import of services covered by the same method in the previous steps, proving its compatibility with the Brazilian legal system / O objetivo do presente trabalho é estudar as normas que dispõem sobre a incidência do Imposto sobre Serviços de Qualquer Natureza nas situações que caracterizam a importação de serviços, a fim de verificar a sua compatibilidade com o ordenamento jurídico-positivo. A pesquisa tem como ponto de partida a análise do Texto Constitucional, buscando construir o conteúdo, sentido e alcance dos enunciados prescritivos que influem diretamente no regime jurídico do ISS. Neste plano, as atenções se voltam para o estudo da norma de competência do ISS e dos seus integrantes constitutivos como os princípios e demais enunciados infraconstitucionais, passando pelo estudo do papel da lei complementar na conformação do regime jurídico do ISS. Traçados os limites de fundo e de forma que delimitam a instituição do Imposto sobre Serviços no plano constitucional, alcança-se o arquétipo constitucional deste imposto, parte para a investigação dos enunciados prescritivos introduzidos no ordenamento jurídico a partir da LC n. 116/03, analisando dentro dos limites do direito positivo, cada um dos critérios integrantes da regra-matriz de incidência tributária possível do ISS, a partir da construção dos respectivos conteúdos semânticos, enfatizando aqueles que podem provocar maiores discussões em relação à incidência do imposto na importação de serviços, a saber o critério material, o critério espacial e o critério subjetivo. Conclui que não houve por parte, seja do legislador constitucional seja do legislador complementar, a determinação do critério material (conjugação do verbo com o complemento), limitando-se, ambos os veículos introdutores, a tratar da materialidade possível do imposto como sendo a prestação de serviços. Quanto ao critério espacial, intimamente relacionado ao princípio da territorialidade, verifica-se a possibilidade de adoção do princípio da origem, tanto quanto do destino na tributação da prestação de serviços, sendo indispensável para a localização da atividade tributável a existência de elementos de conexão com o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, de modo a legitimar a tributação. Em relação ao critério subjetivo, em especial no tópico da sujeição passiva, constata-se que tem o legislador liberdade para a escolha daquele a quem incumbe o cumprimento da obrigação tributária, dentro dos limites previstos, podendo escolher pessoa diversa daquela que obtém o benefício econômico decorrente da atividade de prestação de serviço, desde que exista uma outra norma, que autorize a restituição (retenção ou reembolso). Feito isso, tem início a análise da regra-matriz de incidência tributária do ISS incidente na importação de serviços, pelo mesmo método percorrido nas etapas anteriores, concluindo pela sua compatibilidade com o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro

Penser le mal moral, une généalogie de la volonté moderne / Thought about evil a genealogy of modern will

Tauty, Anne-Charlotte 20 September 2016 (has links)
Le mal est par sa nature un scandale car il se définit par ce qui ne devrait pas être à l’opposé du bien qui se présente comme ce qui doit être. Cette affirmation, qui relève de la tautologie, marque la réalité éprouvée face au mal. Il a d’abord été une évidence criante : comment réagir face aux maux de l’existence humaine ? Ainsi le mal est inscrit dans l’histoire de la pensée et commence pour notre travail avec le platonisme. Avant la conceptualisation platonicienne, le mal est une donnée factuelle de la vie avec laquelle il faut composer. Les figures divines sont ambivalentes à l’image des hommes et alternent vices et vertus. Platon postule une entité divine unique, omnisciente, omnipotente et bienveillante. Ce dieu devient intelligence, calcul et raison : le monde devient une création parfaite, belle et ordonnée et non plus le théâtre d’un affrontement entre les diverses passions des dieux. Le mal se transforme alors en un enjeu métaphysique : comment concilier cette perfection avec l’émergence du mal ? Il faut désormais expliquer et tenter de justifier la violence et les crimes. S’il est possible de proposer une théodicée qui rende le mal physique et métaphysique nécessaire, légitimer la méchanceté se révèle plus ardu. Les penseurs du platonisme, du néoplatonisme et du stoïcisme vont tenter d’apporter une première réponse au mal moral. Dans leur sillage, une rupture conceptuelle advient et révolutionne le concept : le christianisme invente le péché. En devenant péché, le mal se retrouve désormais sous la responsabilité de l’homme coupable. Le mal entre dans le giron de la liberté : il est voulu, consenti. A la suite des penseurs chrétiens, certains philosophes continueront ce travail d’élucidation de la volonté du mal. L’objectif est de retracer l’histoire de ces systèmes conceptuels qui s’entremêlent et se répondent les uns aux autres. Le mal moral se construit dans cette progression qui a des conséquences anthropologiques importantes : l’homme se pense à travers le mal. La méchanceté n’est donc pas seulement un problème à résoudre, elle devient le paradigme à travers lequel définir l’homme. Notre problématique est de montrer comment la question de la méchanceté est à la base du problème de la morale et comment elle conditionne notre représentation de la nature de la volonté humaine. Cette évolution s’est nouée lors d’étapes clés de la pensée philosophique. En effet, si dans toute philosophie morale, le concept du mal est évoqué, il n’est pas en général le centre de l’argumentaire. Le premier moment est celui de la pensée antique. Platon fait naître Dieu et le monde dans l’histoire des concepts puis se retrouve face l’énigme de nos crimes. La théodicée mise en place et qui sera reprise par Plotin et les Stoïciens ne cessera de nier l’existence d’un instinct pervers. Le mal voulu est une absurdité. L’irruption de la faute chrétienne bouleverse la donne. Saint Augustin en sera le théoricien le plus investi affectivement. Ayant expérimenté une double conversion dans sa vie spirituelle, il théorise une méchanceté issue de notre faiblesse, de notre faute première. Le mal est voulu car il n’est plus possible de vouloir autre chose. Saint Anselme reprend également le dogme de la chute mais lui apporte une dimension logique et sémantique en proposant une méchanceté égoïste. Le mal est certes voulu mais par dédain du bien. Notre dernière étape est kantienne. Le mal radical est le concept qui permet enfin de penser une volonté normale qui voudrait le mal simplement parce qu’elle a en elle cette possibilité et la liberté fondamentale de le choisir. Nous pourrons donc constater le chemin parcouru entre notre point de départ et notre point d’arrivée et comment cette problématisation du mal fait apparaître une généalogie de la volonté. Au fil de la pensée, elle passe de l’ombre à la lumière, n’étant jamais aussi présente que quand elle se retrouve confrontée aux obstacles. Penser le mal moral c’est faire l’archéologie de la volonté. / Evil provokes scandal by nature because it is what it should not be unlike good which is what it has to be. This tautological assertion expresses our feelings toward evil. It was first perfectly obvious : how must we face human pain ? Evil is a part of thinking’s history : our study starts with Platonism. Before his work, evil is just a fact of life you have to live with. The gods of Antiquity are like men : good or bad. The God of Plato is the one, omniscient, all-powerful and kindly. God is just intelligence, calculation and reason : the world he created is beautiful, ordered and perfect and it is no longer the place for the vices of ancient gods. Evils turns into a metaphysical issue : how can be the world perfect despite evil ? We have now to explain, to justify violence and crimes. Theodicy can justify pain and illness. It does not work with wickedness. Platonism, Neo-Platonism and Stoicism tried to answer this question. Following them, a conceptual break happens : Christendom invented sin. When evil became sin, man became liable and guilty. It is now a matter of liberty : man wants evil. After them, some philosophers will keep to work on the subject of the bad will. Our purpose is to find the story of these concepts and to connect thoughts between themselves. Evil has been made by this story and brings many anthropological consequences : man understands himself through evil. Wickedness is not just a matter to solve, wickedness becomes a way to define mankind. We want to show that wickedness issue is the foundations of morality and how it makes us see and think human will. Several stages occurred in this philosophical evolution. Every ethic deals with evil, not all put it at the heart of their system. Our first stage is Antiquity. Plato brings the ideas of God and perfect world in philosophy but faces the riddle of our crimes. His theodicy adopted by Plotinus and Stoics will always refuse pervert instinct in man. A man who want evil is nonsense. Christian sin appearance changes everything. Augustine will be his strongest defender. By living a double spiritual conversion, he understands wickedness as weakness due to original sin. Man want evil because he is no longer able to will something else. Anselmus follows the dogma of the fall but puts logical and semantic dimension in it and presents a self-interested wickedness. Man wants evil not for itself, man does not want enough good. Our last stage is Kant. Radical will is the first concept which allows to conceive a normal bad will which would evil just because it is one of his options and it has the liberty to do so. We can see the difference between our starting point and our arrival. We see now how the concept of will has grew up and changed. Little by little, will comes from darkness to light. The more will faces obstacles, the more it is obvious. Thinking on evil is the archaeology of the will.

Secure electronic tendering

Du, Rong January 2007 (has links)
Tendering is a method for entering into a sales contract. Numerous electronic tendering systems have been established with the intent of improving the efficiency of the tendering process. Although providing adequate security services is a desired feature in an e-tendering system, current e-tendering systems are usually designed with little consideration of security and legal compliance. This research focuses on designing secure protocols for e-tendering systems. It involves developing methodologies for establishing security requirements, constructing security protocols and using formal methods in protocol security verification. The implication is that it may prove suitable for developing secure protocols in other electronic business domains. In depth investigations are conducted into a range of issues in relation to establishing generic security requirements for e-tendering systems. The outcomes are presented in a form of basic and advanced security requirements for e-tendering process. This analysis shows that advanced security services are required to secure e-tender negotiation integrity and the submission process. Two generic issues discovered in the course of this research, functional difference and functional limitations, are fundamental in constructing secure protocols for tender negotiation and submission processes. Functional difference identification derives advanced security requirements. Functional limitation assessment defines how the logic of generic security mechanisms should be constructed. These principles form a proactive analysis applied prior to the construction of security protocols. Security protocols have been successfully constructed using generic cryptographic security mechanisms. These protocols are secure e-tender negotiation integrity protocol suite, and secure e-tender submission protocols. Their security has been verified progressively during the design. Verification results show that protocols are secure against common threat scenarios. The primary contribution of this stage are the procedures developed for the complex e-business protocol analysis using formal methods. The research shows that proactive analysis has made this formal security verification possible and practical for complex protocols. These primary outcomes have raised awareness of security issues in e-tendering. The security solutions proposed in the protocol format are the first in e-tendering with verifiable security against common threat scenarios, and which are also practical for implementation. The procedures developed for securing the e-tendering process are generic and can be applied to other business domains. The study has made improvements in: establishing adequate security for a business process; applying proactive analysis prior to secure protocol construction; and verifying security of complex e-business protocols using tool aided formal methods.
