2	Ten days of Taglit : How emotions work on a Birthright trip in Israel Buisman, Sacha January 2017 (has links) Taglit Birthright is an organization that provides free ten-day diaspora-heritage trips to Israel for young Jewish adults between 18 and 26 years old. Taglit is Hebrew for discovery and this is the ambition of the organization: providing young Jewish people with an opportunity to discover their socio-cultural Jewish heritage. Taglit Birthright aims at ensuring the future of the Jewish people by strengthening the Jewish identity via an educational trip and pursues to foster the understanding and identification of the participants with Israel, its people and the culture. Since its foundation in 1999, over 500.000 young people have partaken in a Birthright trip. This case-study presents empirical data from one particular Taglit Birthright trip to Israel. The objective of this study is to provide insights in how emotions shaped a Taglit group and which emotions are constructed during a ten-day Taglit trip. Theoretically, this study is informed by the work of the post-colonial and feminist scholar Ahmed (2004 and 2013). Emotions are considered as ‘doing things’: collectives, such as a Taglit Birthright group, are constructed through shared emotions. Methodologically, emotional reflexivity will be applied in this research. Related to this positioning, hermeneutic circle informs this research in order to emphasize how temporal distance results in ‘understanding in multiple ways’. Besides, hermeneutic circle embraces reflexivity as it stresses the importance of self-understanding and pre-understanding as informing our understanding. The presented findings are based on participant observation during a Taglit Birthright trip in the summer of 2016. The empirical data consists of audio recordings of group activities, recorded personal reflections and diary entries. Based on this data, the following conclusions are drawn: strong feelings of connectiveness to and with the group derive from an intense ten-day trip in which embodied experiences, embedded in emotions, are shared. Sharing activities, such as circulizing (forming a circle with a large group of people), are tools which provoke strong feelings of ‘being part of something’. On a personal level, it can be argued that expressed emotions, which create feelings of connectiveness within a group, do not necessarily need to be personally felt simultaneously. When personal feelings do not align with the collectively expressed emotions, feelings of ‘not fitting in’ might arise. This study wishes to contribute to the ‘emotionalization of tourism’, which aims at foregrounding the role of emotions in tourism encounters and social relations.

3	O direito de primogenitura no Antigo Testamento, à luz das narrativas sobre Esaú e Jacó (Gn 25.19-34 e 27.1-45) Reginaldo Pereira de Moraes 01 December 2012 (has links) Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Esta dissertação pesquisa o direito de primogenitura no Antigo Testamento à luz das narrativas de Esaú e Jacó, em especial, nos textos de Gênesis 25.19-26; 25.27-34 e 27.1-45. Para isso, optou-se por um delineamento bibliográfico sob um viés exegético. Assim, faz-se um diálogo com a psicologia e a antropologia, de onde se percebe que essa temática é tão presente na antiguidade quanto nos dias hodiernos. Notou-se também que, apesar das convenções praticamente assentadas acerca da hegemonia da primogenitura no Antigo Testamento, não há como saber quais culturas teriam influenciado as outras. Semelhantemente, não se encontrou leis bíblicas que embasassem tal pensamento. Nem por isso, se pode dizer que o primogênito não tivesse sua importância, pois não foram poucos os textos que demonstraram tal relevância. Ainda, a partir das exegeses feitas nas três principais perícopes analisadas, juntamente com uma abordagem, en passant, de outros trechos, pode-se argumentar a favor de uma história real, apesar de vários aspectos literários que poderiam ser usados como contrário. Tais narrativas estão carregadas de conflitos intrafamiliares, que serviram para demonstrar a prática corriqueira da primogenitura na cultura hebraica. Além disso, quanto à definição de Direito de Primogenitura, defende-se uma aplicação que abarcava cinco dimensões: espiritual (a bênção em si tinha uma conotação quase que mágica, de tão forte); religiosa (além do fato do primogênito ser consagrado a Deus, havia sua responsabilidade em cuidar e dirigir o culto ao Senhor); patrimonial (os bens repassados aos filhos também consistiam em terra e/ou domínios, não obstante o período de semi- nomadismo e sua constante transumância); social (a liderança do clã e sua representatividade, junto ao conselho de anciãos, faziam parte da função do primogênito); e, ainda, uma dimensão existencial (o filho mais velho era o responsável por perpetuar o nome de seu pai, vivendo como se fosse a continuidade da vida de seus antecessores). / This dissertation researches the birthright in the Old Testament in light of the narratives of Esau and Jacob, particularly, the texts of Genesis 25.19-26, 25.27-34 and 27.1-45. For this, a design of bibliography was chosen under an exegetical perspective. Thus, a dialogue with psychology and anthropology is performed, from where it is perceived that theme is as present nowadays as it was in ancient times. It was also noted that, despite the conventions almost settled on the hegemony of the birthright in the Old Testament, there is no way of knowing which cultures have influenced others. Similarly, there were no biblical laws that could justify such thinking. But we can not say that the firstborn would not have his importance, after all there are many texts demonstrating such relevance. Still, from the exegeses made in three major pericopes analyzed, along with an approach, en passant, of other passages, one can present an argument in favor of a real story, in spite of several literary aspects that could be used in contrast. Such narratives are full of intra-family conflicts, which served to demonstrate the common practice of birthright in the Hebrew culture. Moreover, regarding the definition of Birthright, an application that included five dimensions is defended: spiritual (blessings had an almost magical connotation, it was very strong); religious (besides the fact that the firstborn was consecrated to God, he had the responsibility to take care of and lead the worship of the Lord); patrimonial (assets transferred to the children consisted of land and or dominions, notwithstanding the period of semi-nomadism and the constant transhumance); social (the leadership of the clan and its representation before the council of elders were part of the responsibilities of the firstborn); and also an existential dimension (the eldest son was responsible for perpetuating the name of his father, living as the continuity of the life of his predecessors).

The transnational belonging to Jewish collective is produced through particular physical space of Israel through practice of tourism in collective constructed by the programme as a collective of common origin based on "blood ties". I examine participants' tourist bodily experience, performances, emotions and attitudes as a site of production and reproduction of transnational space using a concept of embodiment as ways in which the individual grasps the world around him/her and makes sense of it in ways that engage both body and mind. Transnational space created throughout the programme becomes socially constructed emotional category of "ahavat Israel", "love for Israel" that might conceal its political implications.

7	Essays in immigration economics and political economy Sajons, Jörg Christoph 20 February 2012 (has links) This thesis revolves around two themes. The first is whether granting citizenship to immigrant children at birth affects their parents’ return migration decisions and integration into the host-country society. Evaluating the introduction of birthright citizenship in Germany in 2000, I show in chapter 1 that migrant families are less likely to return to their home countries if their children automatically obtain the German citizenship. Chapter 2 continues the analysis of the same reform and finds that it has different effects across integration dimensions. Finally, chapter 3 is dedicated to the second theme. It examines whether stating the profession of candidates in open-list elections influences voter satisfaction and voting behavior. The results of a field experiment conducted in Barcelona indicate that voters are more satisfied if they know the profession of the candidates and that candidates working in high-skill occupations enjoy an electoral advantage. / Esta tesis estudia dos temas. El primero es si otorgar la nacionalidad a los hijos de inmigrantes afecta las decisiones de sus padres de retornar a su país y la integración en el país de destino. En el primer capítulo muestro que las familias migrantes tienen menos probabilidad de volver a sus países de origen si sus hijos automáticamente obtienen la nacionalidad alemana. El capítulo dos sigue analizando la misma reforma y encuentra que sus efectos varían entre diferentes dimensiones de integración. Finalmente, el capítulo tres se dedica al segundo tema, el efecto de incluir la profesión de los candidatos en elecciones con listas abiertas. Los resultados de un experimento de campo en Barcelona indican que los votantes están más satisfechos si conocen la profesión de los candidatos y que los candidatos que trabajan en ocupaciones cualificadas disfrutan de una ventaja electoral.

8	Nationalité et souveraineté / Nationality and sovereignty Lepoutre, Jules 24 November 2018 (has links) Les présents travaux de thèse se proposent de réévaluer les rapports qu’entretiennent la nationalité et la souveraineté. Le lien entre ces deux notions s’est en effet longtemps exprimé autour de l’idée d’un pouvoir quasi absolu de l’État pour déterminer les individus qu’il tient pour ses nationaux. La nationalité est ainsi souvent citée comme l’exemple même d’une prérogative présentant un très haut (si ce n’est le plus haut) degré de liberté pour l’État. Ce « dogme » de la souveraineté en droit de la nationalité reflète-t-il encore l’état du droit positif ? Pour contribuer à répondre à cette question, cette étude entend interroger à lafois l’étendue de la compétence de l’État, mais aussi la discrétionnarité de son pouvoir, en prenant principalement appui sur le droit français, les droits européens et le droit international. Un résultat se dessine alors : le droit de la nationalité, produit d’une lente évolution historique et de profondes mutations contemporaines, ne peut plus s’exprimer sur le mode de la souveraineté. Le rapport de la nationalité au territoire, sa pénétration dans le champ des droits de l’homme, et la progression des contrôle juridictionnels font en effet reculer – jusqu’à l’effacer – la liberté de l’État pour octroyer, refuser ou révoquer lanationalité. / This work aims to review the relationship between nationality and sovereignty. The bond between these two legal notions has repeatedly expressed itself as an absolute power of the State to determine which individuals it considers to be its nationals. Accordingly, nationality is widely selected to exemplify a State’s power with a high (if not the highest) degree of liberty. However, does this sovereignty “dogma” in nationality law still reflect current positive law? To further contribute to the debate, this thesis needs to examine – through a study of French domestic law, European laws, and International law – both the scope of the State’s jurisdiction and the discretion of its power. Then, results show that nationality law, because ofhistorical developments and contemporary transformation, is no longer able to express itself as a sovereign power. The connexion of nationality with the territory, its integration in the field of human rights, and the growth of judicial review are altogether eroding and erasing the State’s freedom to grant, deny or revoke nationality.

9	Healing writes : restoring the authorial self through creative practice : and Birthright, a speculative fiction novel Parv, Valerie January 2007 (has links) Writing the speculative fiction novel, Birthright, and this accompanying exegesis, led me to challenge the validity of the disclaimer usually found in the front matter of most novels that the story is purely imaginary, bears no relationship to reality, with the characters not being inspired by anyone known or unknown to the author. For the first time in my career, I began to consider how writers including myself might frequently revisit themes and ideas which resonate with our lived experiences. I call this restorying, an unconscious process whereby aspects of one's life history are rewritten through one's creative work to achieve a more satisfactory result. Through personal contact, studying authors' accounts of their creative practices, and surveying current literature on narrative therapy, a case is made that, far from being generated purely from imagination, writers' creative choices are driven by an unconscious need to restory ourselves. alienation author authorial self authorship birthright catharsis creativity creative writing hindsight idea lived experience narrative therapy psychology romance writing storytelling writing David Alexander Sherman Alexie Aristotle Foucault Freud Harlequin Mills & Boon Stephen King Anne Lamott Charles Mauron Valerie Parv Plato Gene Roddenberry Silhouette Books Star Trek Virginia Woolf
10	Geschwisterrivalitäten im Buch Genesis : Eine literaturwissenschaftliche Analyse ausgewählter Geschwisterrivalitäten / Sibling rivalries in Genesis : a literary analysis of selected sibling rivalries Martella, Immanuel Matthäus 11 1900 (has links) Genesis ist ein Buch von Familiengeschichten, welche durchgehend von Konflikten geprägt sind. Insbesondere gilt dies für Rivalitäten zwischen Brüdern. Häufige Vertauschungsepisoden und weitere Katalysatoren entfachen Konflikte, die die familiäre Kontinuität stets gefährden. Die Geschwisterriva-litäten wurden in der Forschung ausgiebig behandelt, doch die Analyse verbindender und wiederkeh-render literarischer Motive zwischen den Erzählungen wurde bisher nicht ausreichend erforscht. Daher untersucht die vorliegende Studie drei Hauptrivalitäten zwischen Brüdern in ihren literarischen Verbindungen: Kain und Abel, Jakob und Esau sowie Josef und seine Brüdern. Dabei werden beson-ders die Abschnitte analysiert, die den Ausgangspunkt, die Eskalation und die Auflösung dieser Kon-flikte behandeln. Als Ergebnis der Studie werden lexikalische und thematische Motive, sowie Motive im Handlungsverlauf zwischen den Erzählungen erarbeitet. Die beschriebenen Motive stellen ein dicht verwobenes literarisches Netzwerk zwischen den Erzählungen dar. Sie zeigen einen narrativen Span-nungsbogen auf, der vom urgeschichtlichen Brudermord zur Bruder-Vergebung geht und sich im Verlauf stets am Rande eines Brudermords bewegt Genesis is a book of family histories which are marked throughout by conflict. This applies in particular to rivalry between brothers. Frequent episodes of reversals and other catalysts ignite conflicts which continually endanger family continuity. Although sibling rivalry has been extensively addressed by the academic research, the analysis of interconnected and recurrent literary motifs among the stories has not yet been sufficiently explored. Therefore, the present study investigates the literary connections among three principal rivalries: Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau and Joseph and his brothers. This includes, in particular, the analysis of those texts which deal with the origin, escalation and resolution of these conflicts. As a result of this study, lexical and thematic motifs, as well as motifs of plot development among the stories are worked out. These motifs present a tightly interwoven narrative network among the stories. They reveal a narrative arc of suspense which ranges from the primeval fratricide to fraternal forgiveness, teetering continually on the brink of fratricide / Genesis is a book of family histories which are marked throughout by conflict.
