Human and cosmic truth in William Shakespeare’s interpretation

Kolesnyk, Olena 22 July 2014 (has links)
The article is about the mythopoeic idea of unity and interrelation of the human being and the Cosmic life, and its interpretation given in the texts of W. Shakespeare’s works. The human being, as represented in W. Shakespeare’s works, can be considered on three levels: personal, social and cosmic. As a person, a Shakespearean character is defined not only by his / her mind only, but also by the body. In the plays we see individuals of different gender, age, health and appearance. All these characteristics are relevant to the behavior of the individual and the response they get. Shakespeare skillfully shows different affects, and some states that can be explained with the help of the modern notion of hormones. All this was quite revolutionary for his epoch. Thus a human being is described as a creature with the complex psycho physiological constitution. One of the most important words in this context is "heart" that unites both physical and spiritual spheres. It brings to memory Ukrainian tradition of Cordocentrism, especially in P. Yurkevich’s interpretation. The metaphor of "body" is sometimes used in the pays to describe a social unity. Shakespeare was not a revolutionary, or even a political radical. Sometimes he shows the common people as politically deluded and easily lead. But mostly the commoners are portrayed as persons possessing the common scene and the moral standards, that guarantee the return to norm after social and political upheavals. It is important to note, that Shakespeare shows the kings as persons with weaknesses and problems, who must work hard to keep themselves and their country in order. In many plays he makes his monarchs declare the principal equality of human beings, with all the social differences appearing as secondary and transitory characteristics. Moreover, the same can be said about all the differences, underneath which all the humans are basically the same creatures with the same wants. All of them can suffer and thus are worthy of sympathy. There are some hints that animals can also be seen in the same context. This thought foreshadows the contemporary notion of animal rights an human responsibility for the planet. On the Cosmic level, the human beings are shown as the integral parts of the greater whole. In many plays there are statements reflecting the medieval model of the Universe, which goes back to the mythopoeia. The basic concept is the interrelation between the state of a person, of social group and of the world. Both the nation and its ruler were hold responsible for the cosmic state of affairs. The violation of the "Truth of the King" may have lead to turning the country into the Wasteland. This important mythologeme underlies all the plot of "King Lear". Taking this into consideration helps us to understand many obscure points. One of them is the behavior of the protagonist, that was traditionally explained only as the complete unreason of a madman who in the times of crisis asks irrelevant questions. In truth, Lear asks about the cause of the apocalyptical storm, which, on his opinion, was the direct result of some great sin. It is very close to the Greek belief, reflected in Sophocles’ "Oedipus", where the plague was sent by gods to punish the ruler’s crime. This belief also explains why in all Shakespearean plays – again, most noticeably in "King Lear" – there is an obligatory explanation in the finale. All the characters must tell their story and their confessions should be taken as forming the part of one general story. Shakespeare shows that the truth must be known and upheld, whatever the cost. Only thus the normal personal, social and cosmic life can continue. It doesn’t mean that all the plays are what was in the Soviet tradition called the "optimistical tragedies". Sometimes the losses are too great and the future is dubious. But it is the revealing of the human and cosmic truth that makes any future possible. In "King Lear" we also see the non-Aristotelian formula of catharsis, that sums up all the meaning of the suffering and losses: a person must learn compassion to restore or compensate what was destroyed in the blind egotistical strife. All these deeper senses of the plays, revealed by means of applying the principles of culturological hermeneutics, reflect the vestiges of the ancient belief in the human responsibility for the general state of the world. Such ideas, discarded by the Modern European Rationalism, are re-actualized in our times of the global ecological crisis, that demands a new level of awareness and new struggle with the human selfishness on all the levels: personal, social and universal. Taking into consideration these hidden meaning allows us deeper understanding of the Shakespearean tragedy. It can have both theoretical and practical importance, the latter being connected with the outlook-forming role of art. In the post-soviet theatres there is a tendency to turn the tragedies into the absurdist plays. It is an easy way for a director. But now it is more important to show that something can be, and must be done.

Corpos soluveis, corpos emaranhados: escritas performativas em deslocamentos cotidianos

Valeria Susana LeÃn VÃsconez 00 November 2018 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Percorrer a cidade com a ponta dos dedos; TraÃar com o pà o contorno do mar; Escutar o comeÃo e o fim de uma onda; Organizar as sementes da PraÃa da EstaÃÃo; Criar um Jardim na CalÃada; Coletar espumas de mar; Devir Duna. A relaÃÃo entre corpo, ambiente, tempo e experiÃncia, presente na prÃtica performativa como metodologia de pesquisa-criaÃÃo, me levou ao encontro de conceitos, pensamentos, criaÃÃes, apresentados neste livro-dissertaÃÃo. Exigindo uma âleituraâ e âescutaâ atenta do ambiente na qual està inserida, a prÃtica performativa como pesquisa, propÃe um estado presente de corpo, de conexÃo com e no lugar, de solubilidade no ambiente, e de sentimento de pertencimento a um sistema autopoietico maior: o Cosmos. Ã, a partir destas sensaÃÃes corporais no ambiente, que podem emergir ideias e sentimentos âem lugar inesperadoâ (SLOTERDIJK: 2006). E assim, surgiu em minha pesquisa o conceito e procedimento artÃstico: Jogo. Neste jogo, que segundo Flusser està permanentemente em recriaÃÃo, parti da criaÃÃo para os conceitos, e dos conceitos para a criaÃÃo. Conceitos-obras apresentados em diversas escritas: mapas, diagramas, desenhos, textos, fotografias, performances. Escritas poÃticas criadas como forma de registro e produÃÃo de pensamento sensÃvel. Este, à um livro de artista, um livro-dissertaÃÃo. Um registro e tentativa de conceptualizaÃÃo de experiÃncias performativas vivenciadas em paisagens brasileiras, sobretudo, em Fortaleza, entre os anos de 2016 e 2017.

Zoroastrianism, Cosmology, and Chaos: A Detailed Analysis of the Musical Composition, Druj Aeterni

Trelease, Andrew T 28 March 2013 (has links)
Druj Aeterni is a large chamber ensemble piece for flute, clarinet, French horn, two trumpets, piano, two percussionists, string quintet, and electric bass. My composition integrates three intellectual pursuits and interests, ancient mythology, cosmology, and mathematics. The title of the piece uses Latin and the language of the Avesta, the holy book of Zoroastrianism, and comments upon a philosophical perspective based in string theory. I abstract the cosmological implications of string theory, apply them to the terminology and theology of Zoroastrianism, and then structure the composition in consideration of a possible reconciliation. The analysis that follows incorporates analytical techniques similar to David Cope’s style of Vectoral Analysis.

Modelování a řízení mechatronických soustav v SolidWorks a NI LabVIEW / Modelling and control of mechatronic systems with SolidWorks and NI LabVIEW

Fridrichovský, Jan January 2009 (has links)
When designing a Mechatronics system should be the management implemented into the mechanism of technological products. It is therefore necessary to create a connection tool for the management design and tools for the CAD of the management mechanism. The company responded that the need for the issuance of National Instruments toolkit to connect the NI LabVIEW with SolidWorks CAD tool. This link allows the NI LabVIEW environment to control the simulation on the virtual model in the SolidWorks/COSMOS Motion and back to obtain the results of dynamic analysis. The aim of this work is to evaluate the possibility of linking development tools and CAD system and evaluate its use in the design of Mechatronics system.

COSMOS next generation - A public knowledge base leveraging chemical and biological data to support the regulatory assessment of chemicals

Yang, C., Cronin, M.T.D., Arvidson, K.B., Bienfait, B., Enoch, S.J., Heldreth, B., Hobocienski, B., Muldoon-Jacobs, K., Lan, Y., Madden, J.C., Magdziarz, T., Marusczyk, J., Mostrag, A., Nelms, M., Neagu, Daniel, Przybylak, K., Rathman, J.F., Park, J., Richarz, A.-N., Richard, A.M., Ribeiro, J.V., Sacher, O., Schwab, C., Volarath, P., Worth, A.P. 29 March 2022 (has links)
Yes / The COSMOS Database (DB) was originally established to provide reliable data for cosmetics-related chemicals within the COSMOS Project funded as part of the SEURAT-1 Research Initiative. The database has subsequently been maintained and developed further into COSMOS Next Generation (NG), a combination of database and in silico tools, essential components of a knowledge base. COSMOS DB provided a cosmetics inventory as well as other regulatory inventories, accompanied by assessment results and in vitro and in vivo toxicity data. In addition to data content curation, much effort was dedicated to data governance - data authorisation, characterisation of quality, documentation of meta information, and control of data use. Through this effort, COSMOS DB was able to merge and fuse data of various types from different sources. Building on the previous effort, the COSMOS Minimum Inclusion (MINIS) criteria for a toxicity database were further expanded to quantify the reliability of studies. COSMOS NG features multiple fingerprints for analysing structure similarity, and new tools to calculate molecular properties and screen chemicals with endpoint-related public profilers, such as DNA and protein binders, liver alerts and genotoxic alerts. The publicly available COSMOS NG enables users to compile information and execute analyses such as category formation and read-across. This paper provides a step-by-step guided workflow for a simple read-across case, starting from a target structure and culminating in an estimation of a NOAEL confidence interval. Given its strong technical foundation, inclusion of quality-reviewed data, and provision of tools designed to facilitate communication between users, COSMOS NG is a first step towards building a toxicological knowledge hub leveraging many public data systems for chemical safety evaluation. We continue to monitor the feedback from the user community at support@mn-am.com.

O Logos em João Principais interpretações cristãs acerca de Jesus / The logos in John: Christianinterpretation about jesus

Reis, Eduardo José dos 02 April 2012 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-08-03T12:19:21Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Eduardo Jose dos reis.pdf: 829041 bytes, checksum: 3107b1d88b150adc0320518423f22c15 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-04-02 / This thesis seeks to understand the relationship of logos with the creation of the universe from pre-Christian philosophy, its insertion into the narrative of the New Testament by the early Christians, and finally, his divinization and humanization of the idea as the apostle John Therefore, and a philosophical reflection about the early Christian and logos. This paper also proposes a reading of the prologue of the Fourth Gospel about the logos and its religious value to the community. Thus, this exegetical approach in question sheds light on the face of the mythical logos in John, who exudes life/light, in contrast to the darkness/death, and his fascinating incarnation, with the name of Jesus, the glorious begotten of Yahweh. / Esta dissertação procura compreender a relação do Logos com a criação do universo a partir da filosofia pré-cristã, sua inserção na narrativa do Novo Testamento pelos primeiros cristãos e, finalmente, sua divinização e humanização de acordo com a ideia do apóstolo João. Para tanto, além de uma reflexão filosófica e cristã primitiva acerca do Logos, propõe-se também uma leitura do prólogo do quarto Evangelho acerca do Logos e seu valor religioso junto à comunidade cristã. Assim, esta abordagem exegética em questão lança luz sobre a face mítica do Logos em João, de quem emana vida/luz, contrapondo às trevas/morte e sua fascinante encarnação com o nome de Jesus, o glorioso Monoguenês de Javé.

Typologie et analytique des espaces dans la peinture européenne de la Renaissance / Typology and analytic of spaces in the european picture of the Renaissance

Lee, Jiyeon 30 April 2014 (has links)
Le but de cette thèse est d’examiner comment les artistes de la Renaissance, dits humanistes, ont proposé des interprétations nouvelles de la vision du monde au moment où les découvertes récentes de la cosmologie ont lieu, et également dans quelle mesure la force suggestive des images va de pair avec les conceptions de l’univers, lequel est d’ailleurs considéré par E. Panofsky, historiquement et logiquement comme la première œuvre d’art et le prototype de toutes. C’est pourquoi il importe de reconstituer, sous l’angle d’un certain prisme spéculatif, les fluctuations de la configuration spatiale dans les peintures de la Renaissance européennes. / The aim of this study is to examine how the artists of the Renaissance, known as the humanists, have proposed some news interpretations of the vision of the world when the recent discoveries oh the cosmology have happened, and equally how much the suggestive force of images go hand in hand with the conceptions of the universe, which is moreover considered by E. Panofsky, historically and logically as the primary work of art and the prototype of all. It is therefore important to reconstitute, in terms of a certain speculative prism, the fluctuations of the spatial configuration in artistic picture of the European Renaissance.

La notion de cosmos dans l'oeuvre de Philippe Jaccottet / The notion of "cosmos" in the work of Philippe Jaccottet

Yuan, Ning 20 January 2017 (has links)
La notion de « cosmos » occupe une place centrale dans toute l’oeuvre de Jaccottet, moins en tant qu’abstraction conceptuelle que sous forme de « traits épars », diffusés partout dans ce monde-ci. La conception jaccottéenne du cosmos s’inscrit dans la lignée de la cosmologie grecque, notamment dans celle de Pythagore qui assimile le mot « cosmos » à la triade ordre-monde-parure des femmes. Notre première partie s’organise ainsi autour de cette triple signification du « cosmos », dont la première dimension s’avère tout particulièrement significative, puisque l’ordre est à la source de la perception esthétique chez l’homme, alors que le monde n’est possible qu’étant ordonné. Le travail que mène le poète à la poursuite d’un ordre qui transparaît à travers les paysages et les choses acquiert alors un sens existentiel et ontologique, notamment aux temps modernes où le monde humain s’approche plus du « chaos » que du « cosmos », c’est-à-dire d’un ensemble beau, ordonné et uni. Se conduisant en « élève du monde », le poète se laisse guider par la lumière des choses dont la vie, à l’opposé de celle de l’homme, s’inscrit dans la belle ordonnance du cosmos / The notion of the « cosmos » takes a central place in the work of Jaccottet, less as the conceptual abstraction than as the form of the “sparse traits” disseminated in this world. The Jaccottet’s conception of the cosmos takes part in the Greek Cosmology and especially in the Pythagoras Cosmology that assimilates the word of “cosmos” with a triad: order-worldwomen looks. The first part of our study is organized around that triple significance of “cosmos”, whose first dimension is particularly full of significance due to the fact that the order is at the source of esthetic perception for a human being, and the world is not possible without order. The project that undertakes the poet in the research of an order that shows through the scenery and the objects, acquire then an existential and ontological meaning, especially in the modern times in which the human life approaches more to the “chaos” than to the “cosmos” that represents an altogether of beauty, order and union. As an “apprentice of the world”, the poet lets himself be guided by the light of the things whose life, contrary to the human’s life, is registered in the beautiful order of cosmos.
