The dissertation underlines an approach towards mission, where the epistemology, hermeneutical key and methodology centre around relationship. This, by tracing trends in the pastoral context, verified through research and an analysis of congregational surveys. The results were then analysed in terms of biblical revelation (the creation narratives, God's covenental relationship with Israel, Christ as the New Israel, Christ's missiological methodology and an understanding of the Holy Trinity). The resulis were then also brought into conversation with recent developments in science, recognising the interdependence of all things, and also exploring recent definitions of mission. The study then grapples with a new way of engaging in theology. This new model simultaneously promotes the symbiotic nature of theologies, while placing them within the framework of relational objectives; using dialogue as medium, Holland and Henriot's Social Analysis and quantifiable relationship goals to engender a theological process accessible to people from all contexts and backgrounds. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Cacilda Tenorio Oliveira Machado.pdf: 747196 bytes, checksum: 4521087d05351f5895a55272c91ba3e2 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-01-24 / The aim of this work is to investigate the existence of relationships among the conceptions of the Mathematic teachers about fractionary numbers and the teaching process of this subject in the 5th level of the fundamental school. Based on the theory of the Conceptual Fields from Vergnaud, we analyzed data by doing the comparison between two situations: how the teacher learned and how does he teaches the concept of fraction. Our exposition was compound by ten Mathematic teachers who teach in the 5th level, that, in the beginning were interviewed through out the DHC–Dialectical Hermeneutical Circle and after they had their fraction concept introductory class observed. Being this research made on a qualitative character, it was utilized the Interactive Methodology, cause of its meaningful contribution to collect and analyze data. The DHC technique made considerably easier the data collection and gave us the opportunity of a better interaction among the interviewed ones and the researcher. The results we found showed that as men as women were capable of carrying out good didactical transpositions, those teachers between 40 and 45 years old, the ones with more general time of teaching, the ones with more experience in the 5th level and those who act only in the Prived School were better in the observed classes. Other important factor to be considered is that the Mathematical Education haven’t influenced conceptions and parctices of teachers differently. We observed that there are teachers with a very well made conceptions about fractions, conscious that the didactical transposition which they are doing in their classes is disconnected from the pupils’ reality and as they know the necessity of a contextualized teaching of this subject, meanwhile they can not be free from old practices. This studying points to future researchers which ones can clarify the incoherence between teachers’ speeching and doing. We confirmed that there is a relationship between the conceptions that the teachers have about the Mathematic Knowledge and the procedures to teach and evaluate adopted by them. The part/all model is the most worked by the collaborator teachers of this research and almost always it is associated to the procedure of double counting which makes the pupils to think about fraction not as numbers to learn, but as part of things. We concluded that many difficulties from the pupils to learn about fraction is a consequence from the model of the Didactical Transposition done by the teacher in the moment of teaching that concept. / O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar a existência de relações entre as concepções de professores de matemática sobre númers fracionários e o processo de ensino desse conteúdo na 5ª série do ensino fundamental. Baseados na Teoria dos Campos Conceituais de Vergnaud analisamos os dados coletados fazendo um confronto de duas situações: como o professor aprendeu e como ele ensina o conceito de fração. A nossa amostra foi composta por dez professores de matemática de 5ª série, que, inicialmente foram entrevistados através do Círculo Hermenêutico Dialético (CHD) e, posteriormente, tiveram observadas as suas aulas introdutórias do conceito de fração. Sendo esta pesquisa de caráter qualitativo, nela foi utilizada a Metodologia Interativa, pela sua contribuição significativa na coleta e análise dos dados. A técnica do CHD facilitou consideravelmente a coleta dos dados oportunizando uma maior interação entre os entrevistados e a pesquisadora. Os resultados encontrados apontam que tanto homens como mulheres foram capazes de realizar boas transposições didáticas, que professores da faixa dos 40 aos 45 anos, os com mais tempo geral de ensino, os com mais tempo de ensino na 5ª série e os que atuavam apenas na rede particular de ensino se saíram melhor na aula observada. Outro fator importante a ser considerado é que a formação em matemática não influenciou diferentemente concepções e práticas dos professores. Observamos que há professores com concepções bem elaboradas sobre fração, conscientes de que a transposição didática que estão fazendo em suas salas de aula está desarticulada da realidade dos alunos e sabedores da necessidade de um ensino contextualizado desse conteúdo, entretanto, não conseguem se desvencilhar de antigas práticas. Este estudo sinaliza para pesquisas futuras que possam esclarecer a incoerência entre o dizer e o fazer dos professores. Não observamos uma relação entre as concepções que os professores têm acerca do conhecimento matemático e os procedimentos de ensinar e avaliar por eles adotados. O modelo parte/todo é o mais trabalhado pelos professores colaboradores desta pesquisa e quase sempre é associado ao procedimento de contagem dupla, o que leva os alunos a pensarem frações não como números, mas, como partes de coisas. Concluímos que muitas das dificuldades dos alunos na aprendizagem de frações é conseqüência do modelo da transposição didática feita pelo professor no momento do ensino daquele conceito.

The aim of this study is to contribute to ongoing studies on the Acts of the Apostles, particularly in the area of the manner in which the NT writer quotes and interprets the OT. Many scholars have studied the use of the OT in the NT, though few have investigated the explicit quotations in Acts. The discussion confines itself to an examination of the nine explicit quotations in Stephen’s speech of Acts 7 which are identified with introductory formulae, i.e.: (7:3 from Gn 12:1; 7:6-7 from Gn 15:13-14; 7:27-28 from Ex 2:14; 7:33-34 from Ex 3:5, 7-8, 10; 7:35 from Ex 2:14; 7:37 from Dt 18:15; 7:40 from Ex 32:1, 23; 7:42-43 from Am 5:25-27; and 7:49-50 from Is 66:1-2). The study first seeks to situate the quoted texts in their original context, after which attention is paid to their appearance in Stephen’s discourse in Acts. Specific attention is given to the question of the presence of a possible independent Lukan Textvorlage which might underlie these quotations. To this end, firstly an overview of the differences between the pertinent OT textual traditions (e.g., MT, LXX, etc), and the NT is provided. This clearly establishes the nature of the changes and modifications present in Luke’s reading of his original material. Secondly and finally, the discussion seeks to provide an assessment of Luke’s theological and hermeneutical framework, reflected within the OT quotations of Stephen’s defense. Through the method referred to above, best depicted as consisting of text-historical, methodological and hermeneutical aspects (Steyn 1995:31-37), this study makes the following observations: Firstly, most of the explicit quotations in Ac 7 are not found anywhere else in the NT, except for the book of Acts. Only the 8th quotation from Am 5:25-27 in Ac 7:42-43 occurs in CD 7:14-15, but the quotation from CD differs from the meaning of the original context. It seems clear that these quotations are attributable to Luke himself via his LXX version - although it is possible that Luke might have used either the LXX or the MT in a few places. Secondly, when Luke relates the quoted texts from his LXX version of the OT to his new hearers, most of the changes that Luke made are likely to be expected within the change in context between that of Luke and the original source of the quotation. That is, the grammatical and stylistic changes were made by Luke, although the possibility of the changes being due to his Vorlage, should not altogether be excluded. Luke’s cautious theological and hermeneutical intention is also to be detected in Stephen’s speech. However, it is true that the original meaning is not significantly altered by these changes. At last, it may be assumed that Luke is the author of the changes to these quotations. Thirdly and finally, Luke’s theological intentions for applying the quotations are revealed as follows: God as the subject of the history has been constantly at work for his people. However, his people repetitively reject God’s servants and go against God’s words given through them. The climax of this pattern is found in the killing of Jesus and Stephen (Ac 7:52, 60). Nonetheless, God continues to be working to accomplish his salvific plan for his people, regardless of the hostile attitude of the Israelites toward God himself as well as his messengers. At last, it results in his salvific activity (endless love) ‘to the ends of the earth’ (Ac 1:8), viz., even to the Gentiles through his numerous witnesses again. This study comprises of seven chapters according to the flow of the narrative, which are designed as follows: the Abraham Story (chapter 2); the Joseph Story (chapter 3); the Moses Story (chapter 4); the Temple (chapter 5); Stephen’s Indictment (chapter 6). In addition, chapter 1 presents the introduction, and chapter 7 describes the synthesis and conclusion. / Thesis (PhD (New Testament Studies))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / New Testament Studies / PhD / unrestricted

Le "vir bonus" apparaît à de nombreuses reprises dans les sources littéraires. Néanmoins, le"vir bonus" n’est pas seulement un idéal éthique, mais il est un critère herméneutique qui permet d’interpréter et de compléter des actes juridiques. C’est dans ce sens technique que les jurisconsultes y ont recours, au moins dès le IIe siècle av. J.-C.Le vir bonus doit être encadré dans le phénomène plus large de l’arbitrage à Rome et il doit être distinct de l’"arbiter ex compromisso". Il est surtout employé dans le domaine du droit des obligations et du droit des successions. Il est donc utilisé pour les actes juridiques bilatéraux et unilatéraux. Parfois le renvoi à l’homme de bien implique la présence d’un tiers qui est appelé à décider comme le ferait un "vir bonus" ; il a toutefois souvent une valeur objective.Dans cette hypothèse, le jugement de l’homme de bien (arbitratus boni viri) a une valeur abstraite. Si un lien existe entre les concepts de "vir bonus" et de "bona fides", le critère herméneutique de l’homme de bien est utilisé aussi dans des actes juridiques qui sont sanctionnés par une action "stricti iuris". L’emploi de l’"arbitratus boni viri" permet de rendre plus flexible le jugement sans pour autant remettre en cause la nature de droit strict de l’action. / The “vir bonus” is often mentioned in the sources. However, the “vir bonus” is not only an ethical ideal, but also a hermeneutic criterion that allows us to interpret and integrate the legal acts. This is the technical meaning given to it by the jurisconsults, at least starting from the II century a.C..The “vir bonus” should be replaced in the general context of Roman arbitration and distinguished from the “arbiter ex compromisso”. In particular, the “vir bonus” is used the field of obligation and inheritance rights. Therefore, it is used in bilateral as well as unilateral judiciary stores. At times, speaking of the “vir bonus” a third party is implied, called into question through the role and actions of a “vir bonus”; however, this third party often has an objective value. In this hypothesis, an honest man’s judgment (“arbitratus boni viri”) has an abstract value. Even though there is a link between the concepts of “vir bonus” and “bona fides”, the hermeneutic criterion of the “vir bonus” is also used in the actions that are “stricti iuris”. The use of the “arbitrates”“boni viri” allows judgment to be more flexible without questioning the “stricti iuris” nature of the action.

The starting question was: what makes it possible to make relevant statements about the Law? It was observed as the dissertation hypothesis, if the judicial decision presents transgressions of validity allowing for an interpretative discretion, then it may reveal a greater propensity to be an activist. In order to answer the initial question, the study was based on the following methodology: from the contribution of the hermeneutical turn in the approach to the analysis of the ADPF 187 decision, which makes it an activist legal decision; from the Heideggerian phenomenological method, by developing a three-step approach: (1) the phenomenological reduction, which promotes the shift from the perspective of the being towards the being; 2) the deconstruction of traditional concepts, which promotes masks in phenomena; 3) and construction, which shows itself as an appropriation of what has been forgotten, in which the access to the being is sequenced and the definition of its modes of being from the being. After the development of the methodology, the development of the Dworkin aesthetic hypothesis was elaborated from the Schools of Legal Hermeneutics, in which, throughout the historicity of this discussion, the first criterion resided in the will of the legislator, although this is a body disempowered; the will of the law is also not enough, because the law has no will, and it can be attributed to it; the legally protected interest can be considered a criterion of validity, which depends more on the conflicting reading of Law than on Law itself; normativism assigns either a policy decision or a recognition rule the interpretation validity, which, in a way, seeks outside the Law a criterion of validity for interpretations, or because it resides within a metaphysically conceived frame based on a hypothetical norm, or based on the recognition of all; finally, the dependence on the recognition of a legal proposal by the courts was added. None of these validity criteria is conceived from the Law itself, they generally attribute the validity of interpretations to facts. Next, the view is taken that the contributions on the Law validity unfold in the debate on the interpretative positions of the constitutional courts. Such an appeal is made for the purpose of avoiding moral or political correctness of the law. It discusses the multiple concepts of judicial activism, considering it as a contested and highly controversial concept, and then analyzes the assumptions of such concepts. Therefore, a study of the validity of the reading assumptions that support the comprehension of the validity of the reading of freedom of expression in its instrumental or constitutive bias was sought, based on the study of ADPF 187 (marijuana march) decision. This theoretical research constituted a critique of uncritical legal interpretation. He presented as a means of showing the forgetfulness of being-thus, the means of knowing the foundation and meaning of this being-thus. / Este trabalho teve como objetivo identificar, ao longo da historicidade das práticas interpretativas, critérios de avaliação para análise de uma decisão jurídica, utilizando como critério de aplicação da construção elaborada a ADPF 187 (marcha da maconha). A pergunta de partida foi: o que torna possível realizar afirmações relevantes sobre o Direito? Observou-se como hipótese da dissertação, se a decisão judicial apresenta transgressões de validade possibilitadoras de uma discricionariedade interpretativa, então ela pode revelar uma maior propensão de ser ativista. Para responder a pergunta de partida, o estudo valeu-se da seguinte metodologia: a partir do contributo do giro hermenêutico na abordagem da análise da decisão da ADPF 187, o que faz ser uma decisão jurídica ativista; a partir do método fenomenológico Heideggeriano, desenvolvendo-se uma abordagem em três passos, sendo: 1) a redução fenomenológica, que promove o deslocamento da perspectiva do ente em direção ao ser; 2) a desconstrução dos conceitos tradicionais, que promove encobrimentos nos fenômenos; 3) e a construção, que se mostra como uma apropriação do que ficou esquecido, em que se sequencia o acesso ao ser e a definição dos seus modos de ser a partir do ente. Após o desenvolvimento da metodologia, elaborou-se, a partir das Escolas de Hermenêutica Jurídica, o desenvolvimento da hipótese estética de Dworkin, na qual, ao longo da historicidade desta discussão, o primeiro critério residiu na vontade do legislador, embora seja este um ente despersonificado; a vontade da lei também não é suficiente, pois a lei não tem vontade, podendo-se atribuir vontades a ela; o interesse juridicamente protegido pode ser considerado um critério de validade, que mais depende da leitura conflitiva do Direito do que propriamente no Direito; o normativismo atribui ora a uma decisão de política ou a uma regra de reconhecimento a validade de uma interpretação, o que, de certa forma, busca fora do Direito um critério de validade para interpretações, ora porque reside dentro de uma moldura metafisicamente concebida baseada em uma norma hipotética, ora com base no reconhecimento de todos; acrescentou-se por último a dependência do reconhecimento de uma proposição jurídica pelos tribunais. Nenhum desses critérios de validade é concebido a partir do próprio Direito, geralmente atribuem a fatos a validade das interpretações. Em seguida, defende-se o ponto de vista de que os contributos sobre a validade do direito desdobram-se no debate sobre as posturas interpretativas das cortes constitucionais. Tal apelo é feito com a finalidade de evitar a correção moral ou política do direito. Discutem-se os múltiplos conceitos sobre ativismo judicial, considerando-o como um conceito contestado e altamente controverso, e logo se analisam os pressupostos de tais conceitos. Para tanto, se buscou, a partir do estudo da decisão da ADPF 187 (marcha da maconha), realizar um estudo da validade dos pressupostos de leitura que sustentam a compreensão da validade da leitura da liberdade de expressão em seu viés instrumental ou constitutivo. Esta pesquisa de base teórica constituiu uma crítica à interpretação jurídica acrítica. Apresentou como meio de mostrar o esquecimento do ser-assim, o meio de conhecer o fundamento e o sentido deste ser-assim.

Memoria para optar al título de Geógrafo / En la presente investigación se estudia la producción social de espacios en la Región de Aysén desde una perspectiva cartográfica, durante el periodo que abarca desde el siglo XIX hasta el presente. La finalidad de este estudio es indagar si los mapas, en distintos periodos del tiempo, han influido de alguna forma en la producción social de espacios de esta región. Metodológicamente, este trabajo responde principalmente a una investigación de carácter cualitativa, la cual se desarrolló mediante un análisis de mapas desde un enfoque hermenéutico y un análisis contextual-descriptivo de estos de acuerdo a los períodos definidos en la investigación, con la finalidad de identificar y definir discursos cartográficos e imaginarios geográficos. Respecto a los resultados obtenidos, estos han permitido establecer que los mapas pueden y han sido utilizados como estrategias de producción social de espacios cuando han sido elaborados con la finalidad de instaurar una mirada o perspectiva determinada del territorio. Por lo que a partir del análisis interpretativo de mapas se ha logrado revelar una nueva forma de entender los procesos constitutivos de los espacios, permitiendo al mismo tiempo entender, proponer, reafirmar y complementar ciertas percepciones y discursos sobre el territorio de Patagonia-Aysén. / In the present investigation the social production of spaces in the Region of Aysén and Patagonia is studied from a cartographic perspective, during the period from the 19th century to the present. The purpose of this study is to investigate if the cartographic production, in different periods of time, has influenced in some way the conformation of the social space of Patagonia-Aysén. For its realization, a qualitative methodology was used, which consists in the analysis of maps from a hermeneutic approach and a contextual-descriptive analysis in relation to the periods defined in the investigation, with the purpose of identifying and defining cartographic discourses and geographical imaginaries. Regarding the results obtained, these have allowed to establish that the maps can and have been used as strategies of social production of spaces when they have been elaborated with the purpose of establishing a perspective or determined perspective of the territory. So from the interpretative analysis of maps it has been possible to reveal a new way of understanding the constitutive processes of the spaces, allowing at the same time to understand, propose, reaffirm and complement certain perceptions and discourses about the Patagonia-Aysén territory.

Most current studies of suffering are based upon an existential approach which focuses on suffering itself. Theodicy has mainly been concerned with people's attitudes and communication within themselves and with others about religious symbols and ideas. Particularly, this study examines the Korean attitude to suffering using its cultural dimension in a contextual hermeneutics. The researcher was interested in two notions: personal identity in its cultural dimension and the hermeneutics of suffering. The research questions addressed were as follows. a) How to define Korean personhood? b) What is cultural identity? c) How do people create personal identity? d) How does a person cope with suffering? The chief findings were as follows. a) A study of Korean self-understanding can be accomplished by exploring their lifeworld to describe and understand this people's language for daily communication, popular cuJtural myths, and spirituality. b) Cultural identity in this thesis means indigenous Korean self-understanding using the socio-cultural framework in its own terms and ideas. This self-knowledge mediates history, culture, and language. c) Personal identity is constructed by a narrative identity. d) Suffering can be coped with by communication with and through oneself, others, and God. / Practical Theology / D.Th.

Most recent studies of Cassian and his writings have examined the monk’s historical contexts, the theology expressed in his texts or his role in the development of monasticism. This dissertation examines the spirituality of Cassian and assesses its value to contemporary Christian communities. By applying a hermeneutical approach to the study of Cassian’s texts, the investigation distinguishes between the spirituality of Cassian, the historical person; the spirituality Cassian conveys in his writings; and Cassian’s spirituality as lived experience. The dissertation argues that Cassian’s spirituality as lived experience, as elicited by Gadamer’s hermeneutical model of conversation between text and interpreter, is valuable to contemporary Christian communities. It offers a spiritual ‘route map’ that can inspire, encourage and guide members of such communities on a spiritual journey that leads to greater intimacy with, and faithfulness to, Christ. The hermeneutical process necessary to appropriate the spirituality of Cassian as lived experience has the potential to dismantle prejudgements and attitudes of superiority and triumphalism often displayed by Christian communities and encourage fresh engagement with the history, traditions and Scriptures of the Church. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / M.
