Peter's faith in the context of Jesus's epiphany on the sea. Analysis of an excerpt from the gospel according to Matthew 14, 22 - 33 with respect to the experience of faith of the Apostle Peter. The study deals with the analysis of an excerpt from the gospel of Matthew about Jesus's epiphany on the sea (Mt. 14, 22 - 33) with regard to actions of the Apostle Peter. The first part is dedicated to the text of the pericope itself, its origin, placement and function in the gospel of Matthew. Literary and textual analysis is performed mainly by comparison with analogical excerpts from other gospels, especially the gospel of Mark. Due to this, the unique message of Matthew's gospel, which is Peter's behaviour as the answer of faith to the manifestation of Jesus's divinity, is revealed. The evangelist thus unravels a vast composition about the church. The figure of the Apostle Peter, his role and meaning within the whole text of the gospel is the subject of the second part of the thesis. The picture of the first disciple is characterized not only by an exemplary faith, but also by a failure and an example of human weakness. This fact leads to the question about what was the goal that the evangelist followed by describing the negative aspects of Peter's actions. The third part deals with the fundamental...

Diploma thesis focuses on the selection of suitable HW solution for parallell processing of multiple audio sources. Compares several different platforms based on architectures ARM, x86 and Epiphany, compares their performance in serial and parallel data processing, their energy consumption and price.

This thesis consists of three short stories in very different genres but tied together by a intensely personal look at the lives of its protagonists culminating in epiphanies. One of these epiphanies is intended solely for the reader, but in two cases, the reader and character gains the insight. “The Tears of Angels” looks at the effect one person in a moment, even a stranger, can have on the protagonist’s life. “Climbing Heaven and Gazing on Earth” focuses on the haunting power of history and the need we as humans can feel to share a story, to make sense of it, no matter how personal. In “To Set It Right,” I take history in a different direction, giving it a voice and a power to reach from the past. In all of the stories, the epiphanies serve to point towards meaning and enlightenment in different ways

This dissertation examines the nature of epiphanic discourse in three of Robert Browning's religious poems, namely, 'Christmas- Eve', 'Easter-bay' and 'La Saisiaz'. Chapter 1 investigates epiphany from religious, historical and theoretical perspectives, followed by a discussion of Browning's developing Christian beliefs. Chapters 2 and 3 explore the epiphanic moment in the companion poems, 'Christmas- Eve' and 'Easter-Day'. Chapter 4 explores how the double epiphany initiated from Browning's personal experience recounted in 'La Saisiaz', finds its resolution in 'The Two Poets of Croisic'. Browning's 'good minute' or 'infinite moment' originates in Romanticism and reverberates into the twentieth century mainly in the writing of James Joyce, who first used the word 'epiphany' in its literary sense. Because Browning's faith allowed continual interrogation of Christian doctrine, his experience and reading of epiphanic moments avoid any attempt at closure. Thus they offer the reader both a human image for recognition and a coded legend for individual interpretation / M.A. (English Studies) / M.A. (English)

When ancient people entered a temple or other sacred space, how did the art and architecture of the site work upon their senses as mediators of divine presence? This thesis demonstrates that the ancient perception of the deity's actual presence in visual images created a tension that was intensified by the spatial environment and the theatricality of ritual performance. Visual representations acted in concert with cultic ritual to manipulate the visitor through a revelatory experience and create the phenomenon of epiphany. Epiphany, from the Greek word epiphaneia, is the visible manifestation of the deity. Epiphany in the ancient world could manifest as miracles, signs and natural phenomena; however, my thesis will focus primarily on visual epiphany of deity. My aim is to describe how the elements of the built environment and performative ritual combined to create not only the expectation but the actualization of an epiphanic experience for the beholder. The phenomenon of visual epiphany has been largely overlooked until relatively recently. Scholarly examination of temples and other ritual spaces has focused more on archaeological description, formal analysis, mythic narrative, and social and political structures. There has been very little exploration of the actual ritual and neuro-phenomenological experience of religious participants as it relates to the visual environment. With this work my aim is to contribute to the scholarly knowledge of the ancient viewer's experience of epiphany as it was shaped by sacred space and mediated by religious ritual in the ancient world. / text

Para promovermos tal comparação baseamonos na presença de temas que, de forma imbricada, perpassam as duas obras, nas formas da epifania, o que nos levou a estender a discussão para a reação das personagens diante do impacto do mundo sensível, o tempo e a memória (forma de rememoração). Acontecimentos aparentemente banais, anódinos, ao serem apreendidos pelos sentidos (audição, paladar, tato, visão, olfato), assumem uma complexidade que, percebida somente por instantes, confere-lhes o caráter de revelação. Tanto o narrador-personagem proustiano quanto Joana, a protagonista de Perto do Coração Selvagem, são arrebatados por esses momentos reveladores, que muitas vezes desencadeiam processos de rememoração. O tempo é um elemento de importância fulcral para os romancistas em questão; procuramos analisá-lo no âmbito da interioridade das personagens, tomada por nuances afetivas, existenciais, estratificada no labirinto da memória dos protagonistas e representada de maneiras diferenciadas. Para aprofundarmos nossa visão acerca da idéia de epifania, nós a associamos à questão da experiência estética, perspectiva que nos possibilitou uma compreensão mais aprofundada das obras referidas. / Our research of Master's degree has as purpose to compare Perto do Coração Selvagem, first published novel of Clarice Lispector, and O Tempo redescoberto, the novel that ends one of the most important literary accomplishments in the last times, the work Em busca do tempo perdido concludes, of Marcel Proust. For us to promote such comparison we based on the presence of themes that, in an associated form, exists in the two works, in the forms of the epiphany, what took us to extend the discussion for the characters' reaction before the impact of the sensitive world, the time and the memory (remembrance form). Events seemingly banal, inoffensive, apprehended by the senses (audition, palate, touch, vision, sense of smell), they assume a complexity that, only noticed by instants, it checks them the revelation character. So much the narrator-character proustiano as Joana, the protagonist of the Perto do coração Selvagem, they are rapturous for those developing moments, that a lot of times unchain remembrance processes. The time is an element of central importance for the novelists in subject; we tried to analyze it in the ambit of the characters' mind, taken by nuances affective, existential, stratified in the maze of the protagonists' memory and represented in differentiated ways. For us to deep our vision concerning the epiphany idea, we associated it to the subject of the esthetic experience, perspective that gave to us the possibility to a deepened understanding of the referred works.

Readings were made seeeking to emphasize the processivity of the play that navigates between permanence and change. The study starts with a social context of the community, in dialogue with the life history of the owner of the epiphany, Raimundo Mil?: strong figure who, along with his family networks, as well as networks of patronage and friendship, struggles for the resistence of the play. The description of the ceremony of Kings, with its constituent parts, punctuates the remarkable character of Cip? community epiphany. This detailed understanding of the play favors the understanding of some of the social vines that serve as the basis for the warp of this cultural practice: modernization vine, where we explore the general motivation of Cip? community epiphany transformations - modernity; family and community exchange vine, which describes the scheme that holds the permanence of the play; masculinity vine, explains the strong gender system that crosses Cip? community epiphany; reinvented tradition vine, where we locate the uniqueness of Cip? community epiphany tradition and its dialogues with modern dynamism; conflict between generation vine, depicts the differences between generations and how they contribute to the dialogue between the traditional and the new; theatrical spectacle vine, describes the play as a performative activity. Thus, we build a social scheme that analyzes the play of Kings of Cip? community as a whole, where change and continuity plan a cultural plot on their own / Esta pesquisa estuda a tradi??o do reisado da comunidade Cip? de Baixo, do munic?pio piauiense de Pedro II.

[pt] O rito tem seu lugar preponderante na liturgia da Igreja. Ele pertence ao mundo das mediações ativas da atitude religiosa, que abarcam desde o gesto mais simples à mais complicada celebração. Os ritos são, portanto, todas as ações orientadas à expressão religiosa, e na sua gênese está o sagrado, o divino, aquilo que é apontado como mistério. A irrupção de Deus na história, através da encarnação e ação redentora de seu Filho, o Cristo Jesus, possibilitará ao rito litúrgico cristão um elemento diferenciador de toda outra forma ritual. Esse elemento faz sempre referência a uma realidade plena, isto é, a um evento que já se efetuou. O rito é estruturado, apropriadamente, como a imagem e semelhança daquele evento, de modo que o liga a ele, trazendo o sinal da realidade a que se refere. A partir da teologia litúrgica da Constituição sobre a Sagrada Liturgia Sacrosanctum Concilium, procuramos compreender como o rito litúrgico, na sua precípua função de anunciar e realizar, torna-se o lugar da epifania do Mistério Pascal de Cristo. Nele, o mistério de Cristo se manifesta de forma clara e luminosa, proporcionando à Igreja uma profunda experiência. / [en] The rite has its preponderant place in the liturgy of the Church. It belongs to the world of active mediations of religious attitude, ranging from the simplest gesture to the most elaborate celebration. Rites are therefore all actions oriented to religious expression, and in its genesis is the sacred, the divine, that which is pointed out as a mystery. The irruption of God in history through the incarnation and redemptive action of his Son, Jesus Christ, will enable the Christian liturgical rite to be a differentiating element of every other ritual form, that of always making reference to a full reality, that is in level of event which has already been effected, and he is aptly the image of that event, in the very likeness that binds it, brings the sign of the reality to which it refers. From the liturgical theology of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium, we try to understand how the liturgical rite, in its prime function of announcing and realizing, becomes the epiphany of the Paschal Mystery of Christ. In him, the mystery of Christ manifests itself in a clear and luminous way, giving the Church a profound experience.
