Literary and theological analysis of this sense of perícope demonstrates very patriarchal reports. The goal of this dissertation is to do this analysis, especially demonstrating his "literary movement" or, as it is appropriate to say, his "literary beauty". This research takes the theological and ethi-cal considerations that relates with the other patriarchal traditions of Genesis. It is the study of Genesis 18.1 15 for his literary position in all the patriarchal ac-counts and especially with regard to Abraham. It is in half his life narrated in the text. Until that time, exposed in the text, he just waited for the fulfillment of promises, but nothing actu-ally happened. The end of life approaches with the accumulation of years. When least expec-ted the old promises, behold, the Lord, your God, appears and all is happening. The text is a moment of great expressiveness and narrative raises ethical perspective, using a sign lan-guage. The fundamental hypothesis is the centrality of literary text and its gestural expressi-veness that value the character Abraham, the other cited characters and their actions. The fundamental methodological theoretical aspect was used to read the text careful-ly, synchronous to its movement, always from the grammatical forms and guessing what the fundamental hypothesis suggested its expressiveness. She was always outstanding. The literary analysis of this short text leads to all the patriarchal narratives, especially Abraham cycle as part of the written traditions of Israel identity founders. The gestures of the same characters, often not valued in a theological analysis, are the expression of the beauty of this text. The three mysterious figures visiting the elderly Patriarch leave the divine mark of fulfilment of promises and assurance of joy that the birth of Isaac symbolizes / O texto de Gênesis 18,1 15 é importante dentro do ciclo de Abraão. A análise literária e teológica desta perícope demonstra muito do sentido dos relatos patriarcais. O objetivo desta dissertação é fazer esta análise, especialmente demonstrando seu movimento literá-rio ou, como é oportuno dizer, sua beleza literária . Esta investigação leva a considerações teológicas e éticas que se relacionarão com as demais tradições patriarcais de Gênesis. Justifica-se este estudo de Gênesis 18,1 15 pela sua posição literária no conjunto dos relatos patriarcais e de modo especial no que diz respeito a Abraão. Ele está na metade de sua vida narrada no texto. Até aquele momento, exposto no texto, ele apenas esperou o cumprimento das promessas, mas nada efetivamente aconteceu. O fim da vida se aproxima com o acúmulo dos anos. Quando menos se esperava das antigas promessas, eis que o Senhor, seu Deus, aparece e tudo passa a acontecer. O texto é um momento narrativo de muita expressividade e gera perspectivas éticas, usando de uma linguagem gestual. A hipótese fundamental é a centralidade literária do texto e sua expressividade gestual que valorizam o personagem Abraão, os outros personagens citados e suas ações. O aspecto teórico metodológico fundamental usado foi a leitura sincrônica do texto, com atenção ao seu movimento, sempre a partir das formas gramaticais e supondo o que a hipótese fundamental sugeria: sua expressividade. Ela foi destacada sempre. A análise literária deste pequeno texto conduz ao conjunto das narrativas patriarcais, especialmente ao ciclo de Abraão como parte das tradições escritas fundadoras da identi-dade de Israel. Os gestos dos mesmos personagens, muitas vezes não valorizados em uma análise teológica, são a expressão da beleza deste texto. As três figuras misteriosas que vi-sitam o idoso patriarca deixam a marca divina do cumprimento das promessas e da certeza da alegria que o nascimento de Isaac simboliza

This dissertation examines the interactions between early modern science and traditional Jewish legal scholarship through the life and work of Italian rabbi and physician Isaac Lampronti (1679-1756). Lampronti produced both the first alphabetically organized encyclopedia (the Paḥad Yiẓḥak) and the first periodical (the Bikurei kaẓir) of rabbinic law, which refashioned the traditional rabbinic system according to scientific methodologies and emerging Enlightenment ideas. Unwilling to relinquish the authorities of either science or traditional Jewish law, Lampronti creatively mediated the tensions between the two. The dissertation shows that the intellectual movements of the period not only catalyzed innovation within the realm of religious belief, they transformed religious practice and study as well.

The subject of this thesis is the short story "Карл-Янкель" ("Karl-Yankel") by Russian-Jewish writer Isaac Babel (1894‒1940), published in 1931. The story depicts a trial following the cir-cumcision of a boy against his parents’ will, and thus directly addresses issues of high relevance at the time, namely the transformations of religious life in the early years of the Soviet Union. Firstly, I have analyzed the references to Jewish culture that appear in the story. Further on, drawing on research by other scholars, I have examined the shift of the traditional Jew into a Soviet Jew—a highly secular subject deeply involved in the socialist society and far removed from the traditions of the Pale of Settlement. Lastly, I have studied the narrator’s perspective, which, being far from objective, plays a major role in portraying the trial and is of key im-portance for understanding the transformation of Jewish life that occurred in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. At the end of the story, the narrator deprives the reader of the verdict and gives in-stead his attention to the circumcised boy. I argue that he thus focused on the future rather than on the conflict between tradition and secularism.

Although levee deposits make up a significant part of modern and ancient deep-marine slope systems, details of their internal lithological composition and stratal architecture remain poorly documented. At the Castle Creek study area, strata of the Neoproterozoic Isaac Formation (Windermere Supergroup) crop out superbly in a kilometre-scale section through a sinuous deep-water channel-levee system (ICC3). Levee deposits near the outer bend of the channel consist of sandstone-rich (sandstone-to-mudstone ratio of 68:42), medium- to thick-bedded turbidites interstratified with thinly-bedded turbidites. Structureless sandstone (Ta), planar laminated sandstone (Tb), non-climbing ripple cross-stratified sandstone (Tc) and massive and laminated siltstone (Td) are common. Thick beds generally thicken and then thin and fine laterally over about 300 m. Thin-bedded strata, in contrast, thin and fine negligibly over similar distances. In the distal part of the outer-bend levee (up to 700 m laterally away from the channel) strata consist predominantly of thin-bedded Tcd turbidites with a much lower sandstone-to-mudstone ratio (35:65). On the opposite side of the channel, inner-bend levee deposits are mudstone-rich, locally as low as 15:85, and consist mostly of thin-bedded, Tcd turbidites, although thicker-bedded, Ta-d turbidites are more common in the lower part of the section. Lateral thinning and fining of beds is more rapid than their outer-bend counterpart. Levee deposits of ICC3 comprise three stacked decametre-scale upward-thinning and -fining successions. Each is interpreted to record a depositional history consisting of lateral channel migration, levee deposition, channel filling, and distal levee deposition. During the early stage of increasing levee relief it is proposed that the termini of individual beds progressively backstep towards the channel margin resulting in an overall lateral thinning of the stratal profile. This interpretation notably contrasts the common assumption that levee morphology is the result of the vertical stacking of beds that dip. In addition to field studies, laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the depositional threshold of non-climbing ripple cross-stratification, which is common in levee strata of ICC3. It was determined that non-climbing ripples form when bed aggradation rates are less than 0.015 cm/sec, and most probably in flows made up of poorly sorted sediment.

L'acquisition, la gestion et la préservation de nouveaux savoirs apparaissent comme une obsession universelle et intemporelle des sociétés évoluées. Les façons d'y parvenir sont nombreuses et les projets ponctuent la grande histoire de la connaissance. De la célèbre Bibliothèque d'Alexandrie, détruite par les flammes, à l'Encyclopédie de Diderot et d'Alembert, symbole de l'idéal rationaliste des Lumières, l'ambition et la démesure de ces entreprises enflamment l'imagination du publIc et des créateurs. A l'origine de l'encyclopédisme se trouvent la pulsion de conservation et la crainte de la perte qui motivent un désir de complétude, de totalité: le savoir absolu. Mais la totalité peut également être terrifiante: comment s'y retrouver? Ces questions ont inspiré de nombreux auteurs de tous les pays, de tous les genres littéraires, de tous les statuts institutionnels et les ont poussés à s'interroger davantage sur la place du savoir dans la société et dans l'imaginaire. Si l'encyclopédie tente de refléter le monde, les encyclopédies imaginaires en promettent d'autres. Dans le cadre de ce mémoire, certaines oeuvres d'auteurs très différents sont analysées dans cette perspective encyclopédique de totalisation des savoirs (concept qui inclut celui de bibliothèque totale). Il s'agit de deux nouvelles de l'auteur argentin Jorge Luis Borges, «Tlön Uqbar Orbis Tertius» et «La Bibliothèque de Babel »; le roman Foundation de l'auteur américain d'origine russe Isaac Asimov; et finalement, Les Fourmis, écrit par l'auteur français contemporain Bernard Werber. Différentes approches théoriques sont utilisées selon les fonctions du discours encyclopédique dans la fiction littéraire: thématique, narrative, discursive, sémiotique. Pour ce faire, les théories épistémocritiques telles que développées notamment par Michel Pierssens (Le savoir à l'oeuvre) et Jean-Francois Chassay (Imaginer la science) servent à l'analyse des savoirs et de leur effet sur les textes. Les théories sémiotiques de la lecture d'Umberto Eco concernant l'encyclopédie de référence du Lecteur modèle (Lector in fabula), ainsi que celles développées par Richard Saint-Gelais à propos du concept de xénoencyclopédie (L'Empire du pseudo) qui permet la lisibilité des textes de science-fiction, sont également essentielles à l'analyse de l'encyclopédie imaginaire en tant que stratégies discursives didactiques. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Encyclopédie imaginaire, Encyclopédisme, Xénoencyclopédie, Bibliothèque totale, Gestion des savoirs, Epistémocritique, Jorge Luis Borges, Isaac Asimov, Bernard Werber, Science-fiction, Sémiotique de la lecture.
