Společné stolování novozákonní církve perspektivou kolektivní paměti / Dining together in the New Testament church from the collective memory perspective

Černoch, Petr January 2022 (has links)
Petr Černoch - Dining together in the New Testament church from the collective memory perspective - Abstract The collective memory is a relatively new method of studying early Christianity that was taken from the humanities, especially sociology. This diploma thesis chose it as its method of studying the phenomenon of dining together, especially in the manifestation of the ritual of the Eucharist in the 1st century AD. In the first chapter, right after the introduction, this work briefly discussed the development of the study of memory from the collective memory of Mauritius Halwbachs with its social roots. He influenced contemporary memory studies through Jan Assmann, who developed his collective memory of the cultural and described its connection to New Testament research. By defining Cultural Memory, he showed strong links in religion between identity, myth and ritual. The work tried to define the terms myth and ritual with which it operates The next chapter deals with the linguistic and literary world of books, where the words of the establishment of the ritual of the Eucharist are located, discusses their structure and references to food or dining together. The work tried to show the view of the collective memory and thus shed light on some places of tradition and the origin of the ritual of the...

Mýty české hudební alternativy osmdesátých let / Myths of the czech music alternative in the 1980s

Jonssonová, Pavla January 2013 (has links)
Dissertation "Myths of the Czech Music Alternative in the 1980s" presents an anthropological view of the phenomenon of a parallel culture in a limiting situation. On the basis of biographical narratives, additional interviews and data gained from other types of sources, "myths" are constructed for seven major figures of the Czech alternative scene. This is an insider's ethnomusicological interpretation, based on Mircea Eliade's and Bronislaw Malinowski's concepts of myth as recurrent and exemplary models of behavior. The described personalities, Jazz Section (Prometheus), Miroslav Wanek ("hero's journey") Karel Babuljak ("search for paradise lost"), Pavel Zajíček (Odysseus), Mikoláš Chadima ("Rebel"), Oldřich Janota (Hermes), and Marka Míková (Psyche), represent some of the main trends in creative processes of the Czech music alternative scene with myth being used as a metaphor. The metaphor is understood here in the terms of Timothy Rice, i.e. as an organization principle of our thinking, as well as an illuminating image.

Christa Wolfs Medea und Girards Opfer- und Sündenbocktheorie im Dialog über gewalttätige Frauen, geopferte Knaben und den Mythos von der bösen Zauberin

Kühn, Franziska 21 April 2023 (has links)
Fragen der Mythen- und Legendenbildung zugewandt, ist der anschließende germanistische Beitrag, „Christa Wolfs Medea und Girards Opfer- und Sündenbocktheorie im Dialog über gewalttätige Frauen, geopferte Knaben und den Mythos von der bösen Zauberin“, von Franziska Kühn (M. Ed.). In kritischer Bezugnahme auf die breite Forschung zu Wolfs (zunächst) umstrittenem Roman aus dem Jahr 1996, stellt der Aufsatz einmal mehr die Frage nach der Funktion von René Girards Opfer- und Sündenbocktheorie für die ästhetische Konstruktion und das Sinnpotential von Wolfs Mythenreprise. Diese reduziert sich, so die Argumentation, nicht auf eine bloße Adaption, sondern korrigiert und erweitert auf dialogische Weise Girards ‚gender-neutrale‘ Theorie. Mit der präzisen, detaillierten Bestandsaufnahe von romanspezifischen Aufnahmen, Modifikationen und Zurückweisungen Girard‘scher Theoreme wird so, über die Ausgangsfrage hinaus, ein differenziertes Bild der ‚Mytho-Login‘ Wolf sichtbar, die – auch das im Sinne einer gendersensiblen memoria – mit Girard alt-feministische Täter-Opfer-Stereotype entzaubert, die umgekehrt in Girards ‚Mytho-Logie‘ den vergessenen Medea-Text einschreibt, sie um andere Mythos-Theorien erweitert (Barthes) und Girards Unterscheidung zwischen legitimer, ritueller Gewalt und ‚Mord‘ subvertiert.

`An dem Tag, als die Amazonen kamen, die männergleichen´.

Schwarz, Kristin 02 May 2023 (has links)
Der germanistische Beitrag von Kristin Schwarz (M. A.) „An dem Tag, als die Amazonen kamen, die männergleichen“. – Die Transgression von Geschlechtergrenzen in Heinrich von Kleists Penthesilea, fokussiert die Zeit um 1800 als Gründungszeit der historischen Moderne, um in ihrer traumatisch erfahrenen politischen, sozialen, ideologischen und epistemischen Krisenhaftigkeit die genderdiskursive wie ästhetische Transgressivität von Kleists berühmter Tragödie von 1808 zu begründen. ‚Grenzüberschreitung‘ wird so zur Meistertrope eines textspezifischen Verfahrens- und Strukturprinzips, das zum einen Kleists synkretistische ‚Arbeit am Mythos‘ und (im Sinne Aristoteles‘) ‚verbotswidrige‘ Plot-Manipulationen erfasst – hier ins-besondere die amazonischen Initiationsrituale, Penthesileas Regression in der Begegnung mit Achill und den Zivilisationsbruch seiner ekstatischen Tötung. Zum andern eignet, so die Verfasserin, dieses Konstruktionsprinzip auch Kleists ‚exzessivem‘ und ‚transgressivem‘ Gebrauch sprachlicher Standards, jenseits des Sag- und Darstellbaren, mit steten ‚Grenzverletzungen‘ und ‚Grenzverwischungen‘ zwischen konkreter und metaphorischer Wortbedeutung, zahllosen Perspektiv-, Bild- und Stilbrüchen und anderen Techniken poetischer Komplexierung. Für Schwarz hat die hieraus resultierende Verrätselung von Text und Identität der amazonischen Protagonistin sowohl genderkritische wie methodische Relevanz: Erscheint in ihrer ‚queeren‘ Lesart die weibliche Hauptfigur doch als hybride und ambigue Konstruktion, die nicht nur jegliche (damalige, heutige und künftige) geschlechtlichen Identifizierungs- und Differenzierungslinien unterläuft, sondern die zugleich ein attraktives Beispiel für die ‚unbegrenzte‘ Dialogfähigkeit historischer Gegenstandsfelder und modernster gendertheoretischer Zugänge darstellt.

On Historical Missions and Modern Phenomena: A Comparison of Germany and the USA on their Way towards the Second World War.

Nowak, Steve 08 May 2010 (has links) (PDF)
There are surprisingly detailed similarities between Germany and the USA on their way towards the Second World War. In this paper, I have compared the nations' expansionist philosophies, their encounter with racism, and the internal conflicts between authoritarian leadership and democracy. I began with an overview of Manifest Destiny and the German myth of the East. Next, I summed up the deep changes that the First World War caused for both societies and how they went into the Great Depression. I examined the rise of scientific racism as part of the international eugenics movement and the emergence of populist leaders during the economic crisis. It became clear that neither expansionism nor racism were genuine German ideologies. In fact, the American Manifest Destiny served as a role-model for German plans in the East. Even the racist concepts of the Third Reich were strongly influenced by American scientists. The main difference seems to be the experience with the First World War and the diversity of American protest during the crisis.

The Indigenismo of Emilio "El Indio" Fernández: Myth, Mestizaje, and Modern Mexico

HILL, Mathew J. K. 10 August 2009 (has links) (PDF)
As one of the major directors of Mexico's Golden Age of Cinema (1936-1956), Emilio “El Indio” Fernández (1904-1986) created films which for many came to express the official vision of Mexican identity. Part of this identity was based on the ideology of indigenismo, which posited that the pre-Columbian past held the basic kernel of Mexico's national essence while advocating the incorporation of modern Indian groups into mainstream society. El Indio's films reflect the paradox of indigenismo: praise for indigenous cultures and a simultaneous effort to make them disappear. The following study examines three of his indigenista films, Marí­a Candelaria, Rí­o Escondido, and Maclovia, to see how Fernández created representations of Mexico's indigenous populations that contributed to and deviated from indigenista policies in post-Revolutionary Mexico. This representation relies on the formation of a national myth based on a static, aestheticized Indian which incorporates all Mexicans into official state history.

The Sacrament Of Violence: Myth And War In C.S. Lewis's Ransom Trilogy

Engelhardt, Tanya 01 January 2012 (has links)
My primary aim for this study is to illuminate the Ransom trilogy's inherent psychological and spiritual themes, as well as demonstrate how these themes clarify Lewis's philosophical and political goals for the text. Specifically, by investigating Lewis's mythic imagery and suffering motifs in light of psychoanalytic and theological literary criticisms, I elucidate the reasoning behind Lewis's unique—and at times, horrific—portrayal of fear, violence, and death. I also investigate how Lewis integrates his theology with the horrors of personal and intrapersonal suffering, as well as how he utilizes imagination and myth to explicate the practical (or political) implications of his theodicy. As a whole, I present a systematic study of the relationship between the Great War, myth, and the three Ransom novels, one which reveals how Lewis manipulates his personal traumatic experiences to fashion a romantic Christian understanding of evil and violence in the modern world

Массовое искусство и национальный миф: проблема взаимовлияния (на материале кинематографа США) : магистерская диссертация / Popular art and national myth: problem of interaction (movies by USA as an example)

Gudova, Iu., Гудова, Ю. В. January 2014 (has links)
MA paper is devoted to the researching of interaction between national myths and popular arts in American movies. The philosophical Ideas of G. Bodriyar, M. Kastels, E. Said, A. Kostina, K. Razlogov, and E. Shapinsky are in the basic of methodology. And anthropological ideas of Levi-Strouss, Ealiade, Meletinsky and Zhuladze are in the methodological foundation too. The paper consists from three parts. The specialty of contemporary cultural and social situation is analyzed in the first part of paper. The conceptual approaches to the definition of interaction between national identity and popular art are recovered in the second part. The third part of the paper is rewired the content and function of American’s myths in the American popular movies. The author gives conclusion that popular art represents national myths and therefore national identity is constructed by popular art. / Магистерская диссертация сосредоточена на взаимовлиянии национального мифа и массового искусства на примере кинематографа США. В качестве методологии исследования используется философско-культурологическая методология, представленная идеями Ж. Бодрийяра, М. Кастельса, А.В. Костиной, К.Э. Разлогова, Е.Н. Шапинской, Э. Саида, и других; культурно-антропологическая методология, выработанная К. Леви-Стросом, Е.М. Мелетинским, М. Элиаде, А. Цуладзе и другими. Работа состоит из трех глав. В первой главе рассматривается характеристика современной социокультурной ситуации, в которой существует массовое искусство. Во второй главе анализируются концептуальные походы к определению механизма взаимовлияния национальной идентичности и искусства. В третьей главе исследуется содержание американских национальных мифов и то, как они функционируют в американском массовом кино. В конце работы делается вывод, что массовое искусство репрезентирует национальные мифы и тем самым конструирует национальную идентичность.

Миф и образ Венеции в романе Иэна Макьюэна «Утешение странников» : магистерская диссертация / The Myth And The Image Of Venice In The Novel By Ian Mcewan, “Comfort Of The Strangers”

Калистратова, М. А., Kalistratova, M. A. January 2016 (has links)
The dissertation is devoted to the study of myth and image of Venice in the novel by Ian McEwan, “Comfort of the Strangers.” The paper provides a classification of cities in the realm of semiotic studies and “locates” Venice in the existing classifications. Additionally, the work traces the evolution of the image of Venice in British literature. The specificity of the original image depicted in the novel by Ian McEwan is analyzed by comparing Venice in “Comfort of the Strangers” to one of the first literary texts of Venice – the comedy “The Merchant of Venice” and the tragedy “Othello” by William Shakespeare. The given study of the image opens up prospects for its further consideration as part of contemporary literary tradition in general, and British literature in particular, as well as to further exploration of Ian McEwan’s oeuvre. / Диссертация посвящена исследованию мифа и образа Венеции в романе Иэна Макьюэна «Утешение странников». В работе приводится классификация городов в рамках семиотических учений и указывается место Венеции в существующих классификациях. Помимо этого, в работе прослеживается эволюция образа Венеции в британской литературе. Специфика образа Венеции в романе Иэна Макьюэна анализируется путем сравнения Венеции в «Утешении странников» с одними из первых художественных текстов о Венеции, – комедии «Венецианский купец» и трагедии «Отелло» Уильяма Шекспира. Исследование образа Венеции открывает перспективы для дальнейшего его изучения в рамках современной литературы вообще и британской литературы в частности, а также для дальнейшего изучения творчества Иэна Макьюэна.
