General Knowledge? The Roles of the New Zealand University in a Knowledge SocietyReid, Grant Horace John January 2006 (has links)
This thesis examines the roles of the New Zealand university in a knowledge society. Gaps in the literature of the New Zealand university in a contemporary context mean that the enquiry is informed by European and North American discussions of the educational requirements of a knowledge society. As the notions of the knowledge society and a liberal university education are both problematic and central to this enquiry, they are interrogated, in the second chapter, in some depth. A second review examines the work, recommendations and subsequent legislative outcomes of the Tertiary Education Advisory Commission (TEAC) policy process of 1999 to 2003. The principles of critical theory and critical policy scholarship inform these interpretative textual analyses. The two review chapters, which follow the introductory chapter, comprise the first part of the thesis. A description of the methodological framework employed throughout the project and a report of the findings of a survey of stakeholders follow. The discussion chapter comprises the third and final part of the thesis. The thesis seeks to distinguish the notion of the knowledge society from that of the neo-liberal approach to social and economic management. I argue that the notion of the knowledge society is viable in a range of socio-economic conditions. I suggest that the educational requirements of a knowledge society are better addressed when the scope of a university education is framed by holistic individual, social, and economic determinants, rather than rigid ideological imperatives such as those characteristic of neo-liberalism. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies is employed. Primary data are gathered by way of a postal questionnaire. The perceptions of three cohorts of stakeholders of the New Zealand university are analysed using both statistical and interpretative tools. Data gathered through a review of the literature of the university in relation to the notion of the knowledge society in New Zealand, North America, and various European contexts are analysed using a combination of critical and interpretive approaches. The major finding to emerge from the enquiry is that stakeholders of the New Zealand university associate an effective university education with breadth of learning. The notion of a liberal university education, with its attendant beyond-vocation curriculum assumptions, is not considered anachronistic by the majority of stakeholders surveyed during this project. Public and private sector employers and university students strongly associate a liberal university education with effective preparation for participation in a knowledge-intensive environment. Year 13 secondary students are less certain. A secondary finding is that most stakeholders consider that the research activities of the university academic should continue to inform university teaching, but that the teaching role is of growing importance, and therefore worthy of greater emphasis, in the context of a knowledge society. The project is intended to provoke further discussion around the relationship between the New Zealand university and the knowledge society. To date there has been little academic consideration of this relationship. The contribution of this thesis, relative to this gap, is therefore significant.

Zločin v románové tvorbě C. E. Gaddy v kontextu dobového diskursu o subjektu a intersubjektivitě / Gadda's Crime Novels in the Context of the Contemporary Debate on Subject and IntersubjectivityRichterová, Daniela January 2019 (has links)
(in English): The main aim of this thesis is to focuse on the two of C. E. Gadda's most famous novels in their comparative interpretations based on the perspective of the debate on subject and intersubjectivity by philosophers E. Husserl, M. Heidegger and L. Wittgenstein. After a short intoduction dedicated to life and work of the author, we analyse both novels in which we witness the shift of attention from the problem of the subject to the problem of the intersubjectivity seen as socially anchored truth that gives rise to antidetective novel. In conclusion we emphasise once again the epistemological level of meaning in Gadda's novels - their insights into the essence of truth and the character of human knowledge in general which emerge especially with the crime fiction against the background of questions regarding conscience and justice.

[en] OTHER NAMES FOR A ROSE: ZELDA SAYRE FITZGERALD IN TRANSLATION / [pt] OUTROS NOMES PARA UMA ROSA: ZELDA SAYRE FITZGERALD EM TRADUÇÃOMARCELA LANIUS 08 July 2021 (has links)
[pt] Outros nomes para uma rosa: Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald em tradução
toma como objeto de pesquisa a obra literária de Zelda Fitzgerald, colocando em
posição de destaque Scandalabra – a única peça teatral completa que sobrevive da
autora. Tradicionalmente considerada uma curiosidade literária escrita logo após a
tépida recepção crítica e o relativo fracasso comercial de Save Me the Waltz, ou
então como uma fonte de conflitos dentro de um período conturbado do
casamento dos Fitzgerald, Scandalabra permanece um texto que foi pouco
estudado e analisado pela crítica. Uma leitura mais atenta desse texto e sobretudo
de suas rubricas e indicações cênicas, no entanto, revela que ali se esconde um
exercício fascinante e mesmo inovador da escrita dramática. Além disso, uma
leitura mais contextualizada da peça também pode acenar para um esforço
concreto da própria autora em aperfeiçoar sua escrita, uma vez que é possível
verificar o desenvolvimento de temas e recursos técnicos e estilísticos que vinham
sendo exercitados desde os primeiros contos escritos no início da década de 1920.
Esta tese, portanto, parte das muitas identidades públicas e autorais construídas
por e para Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald para investigar a obra literária dessa mulher tão
famosa, tão presente no imaginário popular e, ainda assim, tão estigmatizada e
pouco estudada. Ao propor um recorte que considere como objeto de pesquisa os
doze contos, o romance Save Me the Waltz e Scandalabra, este estudo almeja uma
análise integrada desse conjunto de escritos já publicados em inglês e traduzidos
apenas parcialmente em português – uma análise que não é exaustiva e tampouco
total, mas que é inédita na medida em que compõe o primeiro estudo da obra de
Zelda Fitzgerald ancorado nos Estudos da Tradução. A tese apresenta também
uma tradução comentada de Scandalabra, texto até então inédito em português. / [en] Other Names for a Rose: Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald in Translation
foregrounds Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald s literary works, putting Scandalabra —the
only complete and surviving play the author wrote— at the center of its analysis.
Traditionally dismissed either as a minor literary curiosity that followed the
lukewarm critical and commercial reception of Fitzgerald s only published novel,
Save Me the Waltz, or as a source of domestic conflict during a turbulent,
contentious time in the Fitzgeralds marriage, Scandalabra has not yet been
subjected to proper study or commentary. A closer reading of it, however, reveals
that this forgotten piece offers a fascinating, and even innovative, exercise in
dramatic language, especially in its use of stage directions. Moreover,
contextualized reading of the play can also point to a conscious effort in Zelda
Fitzgerald s development as a writer, as it provides an assessment of the author s
development in her craft. This study first discusses the many public identities built
by and for Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald and then investigates Fitzgerald s literary
works, focusing specifically on her twelve short stories, Save Me the Waltz and
Scandalabra, to propose an integrated analysis of this set of writings, published
integrally in English and only partially translated into Portuguese. Although
neither exhaustive nor total, this study is unprecedented insofar as it composes the
first study of Zelda Fitzgerald s work that is anchored on the field of Translation
Studies. This thesis also presents an annotated translation of Scandalabra, which
had never been translated into Portuguese.

Liturgisk textil och modernitet : En undersökning av sakrala textilier i en modernistisk kyrkorumskontext år 1960.Nilsson Polet, Maarit January 2023 (has links)
A need for new churches arose in Sweden during the 1950’s when modern suburbs for the growing urban population were developed around the Swedish cities. Four architects, Peter Celsing, Sigurd Lewerentz, Hans Borgström and Bengt Lindroos, who were known for their profane modernist architecture, were commissioned to design three churches in Stockholm's new districts: S:t Tomas kyrka in Vällingby, St. Markuskyrkan in Björkhagen and Söderledskyrkan in Farsta and all were inaugurated in 1960. The purpose of the essay is to investigate how the sacral textiles of the three modernist churches look like in the year of inauguration and how they related to their respective contexts in the form of the modernist church rooms 1960. The investigation is done with the help of the questions: How do the sacral textiles look like in the modernist neighborhood church? Why do they look the way they do? What has influenced their appearance and design? The questions are answered with the support of the theories Material Culture and the performativity theory, and the investigation is carried out using Material Culture as a method and the textile science documentation method. In order to be able to determine what modernity was in the contemporaneity of the sacral textiles, whimsical terms have been operationalized, which are taken from the contemporary literature that speaks about what the modern can be or not be. This is a theoretical starting point from which the investigation into modernity starts. The result of the investigation shows that the sacral textiles in their newly manufactured parts was influenced by the modernist church context. It appears in the essay that the influencing factors were several and they appeared in the context of the church ́s liturgy, the architect ́s visions and the designers’ artistic signature in expression. These gave effect in different ways to the appearance and design of the sacred textiles.

The reception of Chinese painting in Britain, circa 1880-1920 : with special reference to Laurence BinyonHuang, Michelle Ying Ling January 2010 (has links)
The British understanding of Chinese painting owed much to Laurence Binyon (1869-1943) who enriched the British Museum’s collections of Oriental painting, and for almost forty years, published widely and delivered lectures in Britain and abroad. Binyon’s legacy is to be found in several archival resources scattered in Britain, America, Japan and China. This dissertation is a study of the reception of Chinese painting in early twentieth century Britain, and examines Binyon’s contribution to its appreciation and criticism in the West. By examining the William Anderson collection of Japanese and Chinese paintings (1881), I illuminate Anderson’s way of seeing Chinese pictorial art and his influence on Binyon’s early study of Oriental painting. I argue that the early scroll, The Admonitions of the Court Instructress, which Binyon encountered in 1903, ignited his interest in the study of traditional Chinese painting, yet his conception of Chinese pictorial art was influenced by Japanese and Western expertise. To reveal the British taste and growing interest in Chinese painting around 1910, Binyon’s involvements in major acquisitions and exhibitions of Chinese paintings at the British Museum, including the Sir Aurel Stein collection (1909) and the Frau Olga-Julia Wegener collection (1910), as well as his visits to Western collections of Chinese art in America and Germany, will be investigated. In order to understand the relevance and values of Chinese painting for the development of early twentieth-century British art, I also scrutinize how the principle of “rhythmic vitality” or qiyun shengdong, as well as the Daoist-and Zen-inspired aesthetic ideas were assiduously promoted in Binyon’s writings on Chinese painting, and how Chinese art and thought kindled British modernists to fuse art with life in order to re-vitalize the spirit of modern European art with non-scientific conceptions.
