Tal diversidade nos leva a algumas questões que permeiam este trabalho: quais são as ferramentas auditivas e interpretativas de que dispomos para fruição e construção de uma performance das músicas de Nazareth? Tais ferramentas existem em função da obra escrita ou do ambiente, da instrumentação ou do meio social em que a música é tocada? Como era atuação de Nazareth como pianista e compositor? Como era a prática musical dos pianistas desse período? O que nós temos que levar em conta a partir da história da música popular urbana do Rio de Janeiro para abordar essa música? Para tanto, o trabalho analisa a interpretação de quatro músicos: Jacob do Bandolim, na gravação da música Confidências; Carolina Cardozo de Menezes com seu arranjo para Odeon; Hércules Gomes com seu arranjo de Odeon; e Sônia Rubinsky, na gravação de Batuque. Ainda nesta investigação, a presente pesquisa estuda o período em que Ernesto Nazareth compôs suas músicas e a relação do compositor com os grupos de choro. / The present dissertation aims to investigate the diversity of Ernesto Nazareth interpretations, whose music has been performed by classical pianists and choro groups. Such diversity leads us to some questions that permeate this work: what are the auditory and interpretative tools available to us to enjoy and build a performance of Nazareth’s music? Do such tools exist in function of the written music or the environment, instrumentation or social surroundings in which the music is played? How was Nazareth acting as a pianist and composer? How was the musical practice of the pianists of this period? What do we have to take into account from the history of popular urban music in Rio de Janeiro to address this song? Therefore, the work analyzes the interpretation of four musicians: Jacob do Bandolim, on the recording of the song Confidências; Carolina Cardozo de Menezes on her arrangement for Odeon; Hercules Gomes on his arrangement for Odeon; and Sônia Rubinsky, on the recording of Batuque. Still in this investigation, the present research studies the period in which Ernesto Nazareth composed his songs and the relation of composer with choro groups.

No. of bitstreams: 1 danielevelingdasilva.pdf: 2001386 bytes, checksum: caa24e070f534dfc5af28f6529e0ddca (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016 / Esta tese aborda como alguns aspectos da história e da sociedade francesas em fins do século XVIII e inícios do XIX foram representados na obra de Stendhal. O objetivo principal é analisar como Stendhal interpretou quatro tópicos: sua própria biografia, o líder Napoleão Bonaparte, a Sociedade de Corte e a “Aliança Trono-Altar” em seu tempo. Através desses tópicos, a intenção é tentar compreender a visão do autor sobre algumas características da sociedade francesa, em particular, e da europeia, em geral. A opção metodológica foi o cruzamento de obras de diferentes naturezas (contos, crônicas, romances e memórias) buscando identificar como os temas elencados perpassam cada uma delas. A conclusão foi de que alguns temas sofreram importantes variações, enquanto sofreram variações em diferentes momentos da vida de Stendhal. Outro recurso metodológico para compreender a obra de Stendhal foi a interdisciplinaridade entre a história, literatura e psicologia. Mais especificamente buscou-se contextualizar as análises de Stendhal sobre essas problemáticas - políticas, sociais e religiosas da sociedade francesa – em relação a algumas discussões historiográficas sobre a história da França no período. Como outros clássicos, Stendhal já teve inúmeras interpretações. Portanto, a leitura apresentada por essa tese propõe-se a acrescentar às demais alguns aspectos ainda não suficientemente explorados, especialmente no que se refere ao cruzamento de temas e fontes aqui efetuado. / This thesis discusses how some aspects of the history and society of France in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were represented in Stendhal’s work. The main objective is to analyze Stendhal’s interpretation of four topics: his own biography, the leader Napoleon Bonaparte, the Society of Court, and the "Throne-Altar Alliance” in his own time period. Through these topics, the intention is to try to understand the author´s view regarding some aspects of French society in particular, and European society in general. The methodological option was to traverse different kinds of work (stories, essays, novels, and memoirs) seeking to identify how the listed themes pervade each of them. The conclusion was that while some subjects did not undergo major changes, others varied according to different moments in Stendhal's life. The interdisciplinarity between history, literature, and psychology was employed to understand Stendhal´s work. More precisely, to contextualize Stendhal’s analyses on these issues - political, social, and religious, in French society - with some historiographical discussion of the history of France in this period. Like other classics, Stendhal has had numerous interpretations. Therefore, the reading presented by this thesis aims to add to other aspects not sufficiently explored, specifically in what regards the coverage of topics and sources done here.

This study focuses on preschool and home cooperation in a Swedish context. Both Swedish and international reports and research emphasize this subject as an important matter for Early Childhood Education. However, several factors such as diversity in society and preschool, different people’s interpretations, and different individual and societal conditions such as resources show that it is a complex topic to approach. The aim of the thesis is to examine how preschool teachers interpret the content and the implementations based on the preschool and home section in the newest revision of the Swedish curriculum (Skolverket, 2018). There are two research questions examined. How do preschool teachers interpret the content in the parent and home section in the Swedish curriculum? How do preschool teachers interpret the implementations of the parent and home section in the Swedish curriculum? Preschool and home cooperation is examined through semi-structured interviews with preschool teachers. The theoretical framework for this thesis is curriculum theory and the collected data is interpreted through thematic analysis. The results show that the preschool teachers found the topic important for a well working practice despite it not being a prioritised matter to discuss on a regular basis. Different factors such as consensus in the work team, diversity in the parent groups build up a complex system with several factors that need to work to create good relationships and cooperation with all families. The discussion addresses how the curriculum theoretical aspects of formulation, norms and values impact the preschool teacher’s interpretation and implementations concerning preschool and home cooperation based on the preschool and home section of the curriculum.

In chapter one the question is asked: Is something like the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ really non-negotiable? To come to an informed understanding of this question, hermeneutical, epistemological and exegetical approaches, underlying the resurrection debate, is analysed in five scholars with divergent interpretations. They are William L. Craig (1); Gary R. Habermas (1), Gerd Lüdemann (2), A.J.M. (Sandy) Wedderburn (3) and N.T. (Tom) Wright (1). In chapter two, their views on the resurrection are briefly stated. Then their hermeneutical presuppositions are discussed, which indicate that group (1) believes God can intervene in nature, and number (2)&(3) deny it. Group (1) believes that the Bible is a divine book giving credible witness to the resurrection, while numbers (2)&(3) see it as a purely human book with highly contradictive resurrection evidence. In chapter three crucial texts in 1 Cor. 15, which give the earliest New Testament evidence, are analysed. The texts and interpretations are: Verse 4 - kai oti etafh (he was buried) - For group (1) this phrase refers to Jesus’ empty tomb. For number (3) this phrase only allows for that possibility, but rejects it eventually. For (2) this phrase excludes an empty tomb. Verse 6 - pantakosioi~ adelfoi`~ ([he appeared also to] 500 brethren) – For group (1) this phrase is historical. For (2)&(3), this phrase is a redactional addition. Verses 8-11 - Paul the escaton (last) to see Jesus - For group (1) Paul saw Jesus in bodily form. For number (2) Paul had a hallucination and number (3) affirms that possibility. Verse 44 - swma pneumatikon (supernatural body) - For group (1), this phrase indicates that Christians will arise from the dead with a tangible glorified body. For numbers (2)&(3) it indicates no bodily resurrection. Verse 50 - sarx kai aima (flesh and blood [cannot inherit the kingdom of God]) – For group (1) this phrase refers to a typical Semitic expression. This means the resurrected body will be without sin and glorified. For numbers (2) &(3) this phrase indicates no bodily resurrection. In chapter four a summary of their exegetical results is given. Furthermore their hermeneutical presuppositions and epistemologies are critiqued. In the case of group (1) critical realism is shown to be a helpful tool, but with reservations. Forthwith, number (3) is discussed and indicated that his “reverent agnosticism” is the result of (a) 19th century liberal theology and (b) his “historical Jesus”. He then expresses faith through (c) existentialism combined with (d) mysticism. At this stage number (2) is discussed. He concurs with number (3): (a)&(b)&(c). He then utilizes Wilhelm Herrmann’s version of (c). Eventually however, he renounces Christianity all together. Numbers (2)&(3) are then discussed together to indicate the similarities. Furthermore it is argued that (a)&(b)&(c) represent a deviation from the foundational meta-narratives of the Christian faith. It is then stated that the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ is a foundational Christian meta-narrative which is indispensable. In the conclusion it is argued that Christian churches should have the courage to confess unashamedly the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, particularly now, in the 21st century. / Dissertation (MTh (New Testament Studies))--University of Pretoria, 2006. / New Testament Studies / MTh / unrestricted

In this thesis I address the problem of the commentators' interpretations regarding Hume's philosophy of mind. Precisely what theory of mind Hume articulates is the subject of much debate among the commentators although a definitive view has, as yet, not been attributed to Hume. The issue Is, of course, complicated by the fact that Hume says so many things about mind, and these numerous and often conflictlng assertions entirely elude the commentators' endeavours to systematize them into a coherent theory. Through and examination of what I take to be three representative readings, viz., those of R.F. Anderson, C.V. Salmon, and John Bricke, I show that each interpretation cannot but fail as a systematization of Hume's views about mind into a theory, since a positive reading of Hume's philosophy of mind cannot be accomplished without either abandoning aspects of Hume's metaphysics, acknowledging that a preferred interpretation Is unable to account for certain views that Hume propounds, alleging a deeply rooted inconsistency, or all of these possibilities together. Why Hume's work eludes the commentators In this way is a problem that is examined by considering his intentions in A Treatise of Human Nature (and the Enquiries); that is, more specifically, the aim of his sceptical critique of metaphysical concepts and doctrines, his conviction as an epistemologist that our knowledqe claims are confined to the realm of experience, and his project, viz., to set the sciences on a new foundation. The whole discussion calls attention to the difficulty that is encountered in the interpretation of Hume's views about mind and its importance, for Hume scholarship, lies precisely in the endeavour to bring these problems to light via a critique of the accepted readings. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)

The word 'myth' appears frequently in contemporary theological and exegetical writing. Unfortunately, it is used with a variety of meanings by different authors, and this gives rise to the layman’s general misunderstanding of what is really a technical term. This thesis is an essay in the clarification of the notion of myth, through the use of the techniques of logical analysis of language. / Thesis / Bachelor of Divinity (BD)

The object of this study will be to call attention to the gradually developing interest in the poem and the varying interpretations of it.

The Christian doctrine of original sin has ever since the Reformation been a central part of Lutheran theological understandings of human beings. Therefore it is of vital importance to see how this doctrine can be understood in a plausible way, with regards to contemporary society, 500 years after Luther is said to have nailed his 95 thesis to the door of the church in Wittenberg. The present study explores what contemporary issues different interpretations of the doctrine must interact with, and suggest a way of evaluating the plausibility and Lutheran identity of such interpretations. Two expositions of the doctrine of original sin published by Lutheran theologians in the 2010s are then evaluated: Utanför paradiset by Eva-Lotta Grantén (ethicist, Uppsala) and In Adam’s Fall by Ian A. McFarland (professor of Divinity, Cambridge). Particularly four aspects of their interpretations are analysed: the relationship to human experience, the integration of contemporary science and culture, the internal coherence and their narrative’s Lutheran authenticity. Even though both interpretations have their flaws, they can largely be seen as both plausible and Lutheran. Grantén gives a wholly existential picture of the original sin, while McFarland tends to see it in ontological terms. In order to avoid the pitfalls in their interpretations, a further developed understanding of the doctrine is proposed, integrating both the ontological and existential aspects.

This study looks at Laleh Bakhtiar´s ambitions when it comes to The Sublime Quran, her English translation of the Quran. It also contains a look at how it was received in English and American media, and how Bakhtiar and her like-minded defend her interpretation and translation against critics, focusing on verse 4:34.
