Les perspectives dites des « cliniques de l’exil » se présentent souvent, dans la littérature psychopathologique et clinique, comme une clinique de ce qui a été perdu, dont le sujet se voit séparé de force. Une clinique de l’objet perdu donc, perçu comme manque ; cette perte est le plus souvent posée comme douloureuse et pensée comme détermination d’un état mélancolique. Or la clinique freudienne de l’objet perdu insiste sur sa construction, son avènement comme toujours déjà perdu et invite à saisir l’exil comme modalité de la séparation d’avec le Wohl primordial. C’est une séparation nécessaire pour advenir comme sujet de l’énonciation. Lacan pointe pour sa part une logique des exils au pluriel. Nos patients d’origine « étrangère » indiquent comment l’exil et le recours à une langue étrangère sont élevés au rang de symptôme et donc à accueillir et soutenir en clinique. Cette clinique « de la vie quotidienne » enseigne que l’exil implique la question de la filiation. Se pose ainsi la question du père. De la tuchè du père, quel automaton ou quelles inventions subjectives pour trouver une place dans le monde ? Cette clinique nous ouvre à des considérations qui nous font relire la littérature de manière renouvelée et repenser la « clinique de l’exil » en « clinique de l’exilé ». / « Exile » is presented in literature as an awful experience where the subject cries desperately after the lost object. Freudian psycho-analysis shows how important it is for the infant to get exiled from the primordial Wohl. The Lacanian definition of « exile » suggests to talk about « exiles », a plural, i.e as a structural disharmony. We have, therefore, wanted to examine the relationship between « exile », foreign langage » and their function for a foreign patient. The other side of our work is to examine the effects of exile upon the next generations. Actually, the main question is in what way both exile and foreign langage are symptoms when the father’s function is inefficient. We have based our everyday work with foreign patients upon a clinical approach which respects the psychic structure, the symptom and the various solutions or subjective inventions looking for a place in this world among men.Key words

Doctor of Philosophy / Department of History / Charles W. Sanders / Americans during the first half of the nineteenth-century were obsessed with expansion. God had bestowed upon them an innate superiority in nearly all things. American settlers were culturally, economically, racially and politically superior to all others. But how accurate are such statements? Did a majority of Americans support such declarations? The purpose of this dissertation is to examine how Americans wrote and read about expansion. Doing so reveals that for every citizen extolling the unique greatness of Americans, one questioned such an assumption. For every American insisting that the nation must expand to the Pacific coast to be successful there was one who disdained expansion and sought to industrialize what territory the nation already possessed. Americans during the first half of the nineteenth century were of many minds about expansion. The destiny of the United States was anything but manifest. Using a wealth of nineteenth century newspapers this dissertation demonstrates that the concept of Manifest Destiny was far less popular than previously imagined. Newspapers were the primary source of information and their contents endlessly debated. Editors from around the country expressed their own views and eagerly published pertinent letters to the editor that further detailed how Americans perceived expansion. While many people have often read John O’Sullivan’s rousing words he was not necessarily indicative of American sentiment. For every article espousing the importance of acquiring Florida to deny it to the British there was one deriding the notion because they felt Florida to be nothing but a worthless swamp filled with hostile Indians. American justification and opposition to territorial expansion followed no grand strategy. Instead, its most fascinating characteristic was its dynamic nature. In the Southwest expansionist proponents argued that annexation would liberate the land from Papist masters, while opponents questioned the morality of such a conquest. Encouraging or discouraging territorial expansion could take on innumerable variations and it is this flexible rhetoric that the dissertation focuses upon. The debate that raged in the public forum over expansion was both heated and fascinating. The voices of both pro and anti-expansionists were crucial to the development of antebellum America.

O objetivo desta pesquisa é contribuir para a investigação psicanalítica do Destino. Nesse intuito, acompanhamos os desdobramentos da noção na obra de dois psicanalistas - Sigmund Freud e Fabio Herrmann -, reunindo e retomando suas análises sobre o tema, além de nos arriscarmos a elaborá-las um pouco mais. O argumento se divide em duas partes: I. Versões do Destino em Freud; II. Destino na Teoria dos Campos. A Parte I começa com o exame do termo destino na leitura freudiana de Édipo Rei e do drama de destino presente na atmosfera de invenção da psicanálise (1897-1900). Em seguida, reconstrói o artigo que inaugura o Destino como problema clínico - \"A significação do pai no destino do indivíduo\", de Carl Gustav Jung (1909) - e termina detendo-se na metapsicologia do Destino, articulando as considerações freudianas sobre o assunto, que surgem a partir de 1920. A Parte II se inicia recuperando o espírito norteador da Teoria dos Campos: o resgate do horizonte vocacional da psicanálise. Passa, então, a comentar a definição de Destino que consta no livro Andaimes do real: psicanálise da crença (1998) e, por fim, inclina-se sobre a teoria dos três tempos, formulada por Herrmann (1991, 2001, 2015). O percurso demonstra que há duas concepções opostas de Destino na psicanálise: de um lado, a que nomeamos de Destino compulsivo (em Freud), de outro, de Destino dialogal (em Herrmann). E, na qualidade de proposta original da tese, há o convite para a apropriação do termo grego ?????? (daímon) como conceito metodológico: daímon é o operador da passagem do Destino compulsivo para o dialogal. Conclui-se que esse trânsito define o próprio processo analítico, reencontrado no interior de uma única palavra: Destino. A pesquisa se encerra com alguns estudos complementares, que desenvolvem ideias específicas derivadas das conclusões. / The goal of this research is to contribute to the psychoanalytic investigation of Destiny. In this sense, we follow the unfolding of the notion in the work of two psychoanalysts - Sigmund Freud and Fabio Herrmann -, gathering and resuming their analysis on the subject, and risking to elaborate them furthermore. The argument is divided into two parts: I. Versions of Destiny in Freud; II. Destiny in Fields Theory. Part I begins with the examination of the term destiny in the Freudian reading of Oedipus Rex and the Destiny Drama surrounding the birth of psychoanalysis (1897-1900). It then reconstructs the article that presents for the first time Destiny as a clinical problem - Carl Gustav Jung\'s The Father\'s Significance in the Destiny of the Individual (1909) -, and it ends by dwelling on the metapsychology of Destiny, articulating Freudian considerations on the matter as of the year 1920. Part II begins by recovering the guiding spirit of the Fields Theory: the rescue of psychoanalysis true vocation. It then goes on to comment on the definition of Destiny that appears in the book Andaimes do real: psicanálise da crença[Scaffolding of the Real: Psychoanalysis of Belief] (1998), and finally it leans on the Three Times Theory created by Herrmann (1991, 2001, 2015). The course demonstrates that there are two opposing conceptions of Destiny in psychoanalysis: on one hand, what we call compulsive Destiny (in Freud), on the other, what we call dialogic Destiny (in Herrmann). And according to the original proposal of the thesis, this research invites the reader to consider the Greek term (daímon) as a methodological concept: daímon is the operator of the passage from the compulsive Destiny to the dialogic one. It concludes that this transit defines the analytical process itself, rediscovered within a single word: Destiny. The research ends with a few complementary studies that present specific ideas derived from the main conclusions

This thesis explores Heidegger&#039 / s H&ouml / lderlin interpretations to exhibit Heidegger&#039 / s thoughts on history as a destiny of a people. The feast as the occasion of the encounter of gods and men will be set as the the inception of the history and the time of the balanced destiny. The course of history will be explained as a result of compliance and accordance with destiny, other than being an output of cause-effect chain.

When creating a current work, artists cannot ignore the images that have preceded theirs. The history of a medium and the related history of subject matter is vital to the meaning of a new art work. Each sign and symbol has a connotation out of the artists’ control. The developed meaning of a symbol is inseparable for the viewer regardless of the acknowledgment of that meaning by the artist. To work with imagery and not address it’s historical context is to perpetuate it’s meaning. The only way to not state what has already been stated is to critically engage with the preexisting meaning of the imagery. An artist can combine symbols to create dual meanings or juxtapositions of meaning, or present the imagery in a way that complicates what it already signifies. “Apparent Fate,”my combined negative, photographic mural, uses imagery from Yosemite National Park to comment on photography’s function or purpose in history and in the current economic, political, environmental, and social conditions in California and society’s current stance on Manifest Destiny. How have the ideas of innate rights over people and places changed over time in American culture?

<p>The paper examines the philosophical themes of Free Will as opposed to Determinism/Predestination and how they are portrayed in the seven books about Harry Potter. It is discussed whether the character of Harry Potter, but also the world itself in which he acts, seem to be governed primarily by forces of Free Will and/or Determinism. The author concludes that though Harry is indeed strongly tempted to believe in Determinism, influential figures around him direct him towards a different choice - making himself believe in Free Will instead.</p>

Para tanto, verifica a concepção de homem em Homero, buscando mostrar o homem como unidade capaz de realizar ações e analisa a concepção divina associada às ideias de vontade de Zeus e de Destino, que afetariam a noção de responsabilidade na ação humana. Portanto, desejamos mostrar que as decisões próprias do homem não alteram o curso dos acontecimentos, uma vez que, na Ilíada, deparamos com a mentalidade mítica na qual divindade e homem se completam através de oposições / This study analyzes the relationship between the human and the divine in the context of the actions carried out by men, and the responsibility that they would have on them or not, in the Iliad. To do so, it verifies the conception of man in Homer, trying to show the man as a unit capable of performing actions and analyzes the divine conception associated with the ideas of will of Zeus and Destiny, which would affect the notion of responsibility in the human action. Therefore, we wish to show that the man's own decisions do not change the sequences of events, once, in the Iliad, we faced with the mythical mentality in which divinity and man complete each other through opposition

The paper examines the philosophical themes of Free Will as opposed to Determinism/Predestination and how they are portrayed in the seven books about Harry Potter. It is discussed whether the character of Harry Potter, but also the world itself in which he acts, seem to be governed primarily by forces of Free Will and/or Determinism. The author concludes that though Harry is indeed strongly tempted to believe in Determinism, influential figures around him direct him towards a different choice - making himself believe in Free Will instead.

The foundational hypothesis to this study is that congregations which have a healthy perception and a greater understanding of conflict will develop more effective responses to conflict that will translate into more effective conflict resolution and reconciliation. The process and sustainability of the development of a missional church, the context of the study, is pregnant with potential conflict. Untamed conflict has the propensity to retard, jeopardise or even destroy the development of a missional church. When conflict arises, it must be understood and dealt with theologically. The inherent problem is that conflict appears to be neither understood nor appreciated sociologically and theologically. This knowledge and praxis vacuum has the potential for conflict to translate into inappropriate or ineffective responses that do not always make for effective resolution and reconciliation. The research focuses mainly on an empirical study based on the four practical theological questions of Osmer (2008). Participants for this study were randomly selected from specific sectors of Methodist congregations in the wider Pretoria area. The research explores congregants’ perceptions, understanding and views of conflict; their responses to conflict; and some felt and observed outcomes of conflict. The presupposition is that the development of the local missional church would be more effective and efficient when the management and process of conflict resolution and reconciliation are well led and well managed. This study confirmed that conflict, despite its normalcy and necessity, carries a negative undertone and is mostly avoided in congregations. This is compounded by the evidence that there is little, if any, theological or scriptural understanding of conflict. There is also no indication that churches intentionally and purposefully educate their members to appreciate and understand conflict. In so doing, churches are harming their innate calling as the glory and manifestation of God’s divine grace through faith communities for the transformation of all peoples. Yet, the church understands the dangers of unhealthy conflict, and on occasion even expects conflict to arise, although deeming it inappropriate. Practical theological discernment is sought as to why this may be so and remedial action is proposed to address the problem of conflict within congregations. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2017. / Practical Theology / PhD / Unrestricted
