n Literêr-inhoudelike analise van Boek 7 van Augustinus se Confessiones : Augustinus se begrip van die bestaanswyse van God en die kwaadDu Plessis, A. F. J. (Anna Francina Johanna) 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Augusine's search for the nature of God's exisistence as well as the origin of
evil, reaches a climax in Book 7 of his Confessions. This study assumes the
position that Augustine strives to find answers to the above mentioned two
questions in the first six books of the Confessions. The answers to both these
questions were vitally important to Augustine, since it would then convince him
to convert to the Christian faith.
Augustine repeatedly thought he grasped the true answer to the existence of
God and the origin and the nature of evil but he was disillusioned time and
again. His quest for an answer started with his reading of Cicero's Hortentius
(Conf. 3.4.7), a book that urged Augustine to search for Truth. Augustine then
joined the Manicheans, a sect claiming that their doctrine was based on reason
and contained the Truth (Conf. 3.6.10). Augustine believed that the Manicheans
could resolve his quest for answers to the existence and nature of both God and
evil. The Manichean intellectual and scientific exposition of the cosmos allowed
Augustine to imagine God and evil as opposing substances. Eventually,
promted by his own intellect, Augustine discovered weaknesses in their theories
(Conf. 5.3.3-5.6.10). Augustine's final break with the Manicheans, after nine
years as an adherent, came when he heard the sermons of Ambrose of Milan.
Not only was Augustine impressed by Ambrose's eloquence but his sermons
also embodied an interpretation of Platonism in Christian terms. Augustine's
reading of the Neoplatonic books in a Latin translation urged him to turn into
himself (Conf. 7.10.16) and search for God there. Once Augustine could
pronounce upon the intelligible existence of God, his inquiry into the origin of
evil resolved itself (7.12.18). / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Augustinus se soeke na die bestaanswyse van God en die aard en onstaan van
die kwaad bereik 'n klimaks in Boek 7 van die Confessiones. In hierdie studie
word daar van die standpunt uitgegaan dat Augustinus onder andere in die
eerste ses boeke van die Confessiones poog om antwoorde te kry op
bogenoemde twee vraagstukke. Antwoorde op beide hierdie vrae was van
kardinale belang, aangesien dit Augustinus sou oortuig om hom tot die
Christelike geloof te bekeer.
Augustinus het herhaaldelik gepoog om die ware antwoorde op die vraag na
bestaanwyse van God sowel as die oorsprong en die aard van die kwaad te
vind. Hy was egter telke male ontnugter. Augustinus se soeke het begin toe hy
in aanraking gekom het met Cicero se Hortensius (Conf. 3.4.7), 'n boek wat
Augustinus aangemoedig het om die Waarheid na te jaag. Gevolglik het
Augustinus by die Manicheërs aangesluit, aangesien dié sekte geglo het dat
hulle leerstellinge gebaseer is op die rede en sodoende die volle waarheid bevat
(Cant. 3.6.10). Augustinus het geglo dat die Manicheërs sy soektog na
antwoorde op die vraag van God en die kwaad se bestaanswyse kon oplos. Die
Manicheërs se intellektuele en wetenskaplike uiteensetting van die kosmos het
Augustinus toegelaat om God en die kwaad as teenstrydige entiteite te beskou.
Ongeveer nege jaar na sy aansluiting by die Manicheërs, aangemoedig deur sy
eie intellek, het Augustinus die swak punte in die Manichese leerstellinge ontdek
(Cant. 5.3.3-5.6.10). Die finale breek met die Manicheërs het gekom toe
Augustinus die preke van Ambrosius in Milaan gehoor het. Nie alleen was
Augustinus ingenome met Ambrosius se welsprekendheid nie, maar sy preke het
ook die interpretasie van Platonisme in Christelike terme beliggaam. Die
Neoplatoniese leerstellinge het Augustinus aangemoedig om na homself, in
homself te draai (Conf. 7.10.16) en vir God daar te gaan soek. Sodra
Augustinus kon verklaar dat God in die vorm van 'n kenbare wese bestaan, het
sy soeke na die oorsprong en die aard van die kwaad dit self opgelos (Cant.
7.12.18).

Participants’ experience of the Bishop Lavis Rehabilitation Centre stroke groupDe la Cornillere, Wendy-Lynne 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil (Interdisciplinary Health Sciences. Speech-Language and Hearing Therapy. Centre for Rehabilitation Studies))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. / Current emphasis for rehabilitation in South Africa remains on individual intervention within the
move towards primary health care. Primary health care is the strategy that has been adopted by the
South African department of health to bring access and equity in health care services. Even so, the
burden of providing effective rehabilitative services with limited resources requires innovative
strategies, such as the use of therapeutic groups, to address certain aspects of rehabilitation. These
strategies must be proven effective. There is a paucity of literature detailing the uses of group
therapy in physical rehabilitation, and particularly the use of interdisciplinary group work in stroke
rehabilitation. Furthermore, evidence shows that stroke survivors feel ill equipped to return to their
communities despite rehabilitation. Stroke is a major cause of death and disability in South Africa,
and is a condition shown to benefit from rehabilitation. These factors led to the selection of the
Bishop Lavis Rehabilitation Centre stroke group as the setting for this study, which aims to describe
the range of experiences relating to attendance or non-attendance of those referred to this
programme.
This descriptive study, employing quantitative means (to describe the demographic details of the
participants) and qualitative means (to describe the experiences of participants), was conducted with
twenty participants. Data was collected by means of an administered questionnaire. Following that,
a focus group discussion involving six participants was used to gather in-depth information.
Quantitative data was analysed with the assistance of a statistician, utilising the computer program,
Statistica. The Chi-Squared, Kruskal-Wallis and ANOVA tests were used, with p>0.05 showing
statistical significance. Qualitative data was thematically analysed, whereby data was categorised
by means of an inductive approach.
The study population consisted of 20 participants, with an average age of 59 years, of whom 15
were female and five male. The stroke group provided meaning to participants on two levels. On a
psychosocial level, the phenomena of universality (identifying with others in a similar position),
development of socialising techniques, imparting information and cohesiveness emerged strongly. On the level of meaning related to stroke recovery, improvement in ability to execute activities of
daily living, mobility and strength were most frequently mentioned. Transportation issues were
most commonly mentioned as factors negatively influencing attendance. Staff attitude and
activities of the programme were most often cited as positive factors.
Given the positive response of study participants, and the programme’s ability to sustain
intervention with limited resources, it was concluded that this programme has a valid place within
stroke rehabilitation in Bishop Lavis.
Recommendations in terms of the group programme included investigating methods of providing
transportation, providing childcare facilities and expanding the content of educational sessions.
Further recommendations were to maintain the positive attitude of staff and the current activities of
the programme. Frequency of group outings should also be increased and compensatory strategies
for inclement weather must be explored.

Formations du sujet lyrique dans les écrits d'Elizabeth Bishop / The Shapings of the Lyrical Subject in Elizabeth Bishop's WritingsMollet-François, Lhorine 14 November 2009 (has links)
Ce travail présente la manière dont le regard d'Elizabeth Bishop appréhende le monde en refusant toute illusion de familiarité. Il étudie les diverses stratégies de défamiliarisation qui invitent le lecteur à redécouvrir les surprises que peuvent réserver l'ordinaire et le quotidien, ainsi que le rapport qui s'instaure entre le sujet lyrique et le monde dans ces conditions. Il s'agit d'analyser comment l'affleurement de l'étrange ou de l'informe dans le familier et l'intime permet d'accéder à une reconnaissance du soi plus ample et plus authentique. L'écriture de Bishop remet inlassablement en question la stabilité de la réalité, y compris celle du sujet, ainsi que toute notion d'acquis, ou d'acquisition dans le temps. C'est ainsi que sa voix – sa signature – se singularise et qu'elle se démarque de ses pairs, mais aussi de la société à laquelle elle appartient. Ce qui s'affirme au travers de son écriture n'est paradoxalement fait que d'incertitude et de vulnérabilité. Le sujet qui s'y forme se construit sur de l'éphémère, sur ses propres limites ; il ne peut s'appuyer que sur la découverte de l'aliénation exogène mais également endogène à laquelle il est confronté. Simultanément, cette écriture cherche des moyens de maintenir le sujet, par la résonance d'échos, par le foisonnement, la prolifération, autant de techniques qui le ramènent incessamment au manque, au vide, à la faille qu'elles sont supposées masquer. Cette thèse propose d'interroger le rapport entre perte et création dans l'œuvre de Bishop, la manière dont la création se nourrit de la perte, et dont elle entraîne le lecteur dans cette transaction, l'incluant par là-même dans le processus créatif. / This study examines the way Elizabeth Bishop's writings probe the world's seeming familiarity, how through various strategies of defamiliarization they reveal to the reader the hidden surprises of the ordinary, and how the lyrical subject relates to the world. As the strange and the shapeless surface within the intimate and the familiar, the persona gains access to a better and more authentic understanding of his-her own self. Bishop's writing relentlessly questions the stability of reality, including that of the self. It seems that the only knowledge available is that of uncertainty and contingency. Her voice is therefore necessarily singular and isolated, being itself in perpetual mutation. In order to maintain itself, her subject is constrained to rely on its own ephemeral and limited nature, as well as on external and internal alienation. Echoes and techniques of proliferation are construed to achieve that aim. Yet those techniques keep ! bringing the subject back to the lack, the absence, the gaps they are meant to bridge and cover up. Finally, this analysis explores the relationship between loss and creation: how creation is fueled by loss and how the reader is drawn into Bishop's writing thus ensuring the persistence of creation.

Imaginative space and the construction of community : the drama of Augustine’s two cities in the English RenaissanceMinton, Gretchen E. 11 1900 (has links)
This thesis traces the development of Augustine's paradigm of the two cities (the
City of God and the earthly city) in the cultural poetics of the English Renaissance.
Although scholars have studied the impact of Augustine's model on theology, historical
consciousness, and political theories in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, little attention
has been paid to the genealogy of the more specifically "literary" aspects of the idea of
the two cities. My line of inquiry is the relationship between Augustine's model of the
two cities and the idea of drama. More specifically, this project explores the ways in
which the idea o f the two cities spoke to various communities—of readers, of
worshippers, and ultimately, of playgoers.
Augustine's view of drama is divided; on the one hand, he speaks at length about
the evil influence of Roman spectacles, but on the other hand, he acknowledges that the
world itself is a theatre for God's cosmic drama. However, this employment of drama is
limited in Augustine's writing, because his greater commitment is to the idea of
Scripture. This interplay between drama and Scripture, I suggest, is an integral part of
the two-cities model that is related to his theology of history.
The tension between the idea of drama and the idea o f the book is evident in
English Reformation appropriations of Augustine's model, such as those of John Bale
and John Foxe, who changed the terminology to "the two churches." The second section
of my thesis shows how these Reformers contained their own "dramatic" adaptations of
the two cities within an even narrower theatre than Augustine's—a theatre constituted
and contained by the Word.
Shifting the focus to secular drama, the final section concerns Shakespeare's use
of some facets of the two-cities model in his Jacobean plays, and examines the effects of
removing this construct from its religious context. The result, I argue, is a theatre that
celebrates its own aesthetic power and flaunts its sheer physicality, resisting the
presumed stability of the written word.

Elizabeth Bishop in Brasil: An Ongoing AcculturationNeely, Elizabeth 08 1900 (has links)
Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979), one of the foremost modern American poets, lived in Brasil during seventeen-odd years beginning in 1951. During this time she composed the poetry collection Questions of Travel, stand-alone poems, and fragments as well as prose pieces and translations. This study builds on the work of critics such as Brett Millier and Lorrie Goldensohn who have covered Bishop’s poetry during her Brasil years. However, most American critics have lacked expertise in both Brasilian culture and the Portuguese language that influenced Bishop’s poetry. Since 2000, in contrast, Brasilian critic Paulo Henriques Britto has explored issues of translating Bishop’s poetry into Portuguese, while Maria Lúcia Martins and Regina Przybycien have examined Bishop’s Brasil poems from a Brasilian perspective. However, American and Brasilian scholars have yet to recognize Bishop’s journey of acculturation as displayed through her poetry chronologically or the importance of her belated reception by Brasilian literary and popular culture. This study argues that Bishop’s Brasil poetry reveals her gradual transformation from a tourist outsider to a cultural insider through her encounters with Brasilian history, culture, language, and politics. It encompasses Bishop’s published and unpublished Brasil poetry, including drafts from the Elizabeth Bishop Papers at Vassar College. On a secondary level, this study examines a reverse acculturation in how Brasilian popular and literary communities have increasingly focused on Bishop since her death, culminating in the 2013 film, Flores Raras (Reaching for the Moon in English). Understanding this extremely rare and sustained intercultural junction of Bishop in Brasil, a junction that no American poet has made since, adds a crucial angle to twentieth-first century transnational literary perspectives.
