Pátá křížová výprava 1213 - 1221: Svatý stolec a boj proti nevěřícím / The Fifth Crusade 1213 - 1221: The Holy See and the fight against the Muslims

Rusová, Dita January 2016 (has links)
This dissertation is devoted to the preparation and process of the Fifth Crusade, i.e. the stage from 1213, when it was declared by The Pope Innocent III. to 1221. It investigates the way of recruiting crusaders and the attitudes of the official representatives of the Church structures during the Crusade in relation to secular rulers. Their actions confronts with activities of other actors - from the Christian perspective primarily with the actions of Francis of Assisi. The dissertation evaluates benefit of his activities for the Crusade movement and for the future of the Franciscan order. The dissertation is also attempting to demonstrate the characteristic of the crusade given a Muslim environment including the Muslim perspective of Francis's actions and sermon. The epiloque describes the Crusade of Frederick II as the continuity of the Fifth Crusade. In the end there is a valorization of the results of the Crusade movement.

No. of bitstreams: 1 gilbertodeoliveirapaulino.pdf: 1030430 bytes, checksum: c2acae9f06608fb88e3c67868f785c33 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-08-24 / Este trabalho tem a finalidade de propor uma sequência didática, com abordagem histórico-filosófica, utilizando-se de experimentos e demonstrações históricas na introdução de conceitos do eletromagnetismo no Ensino Médio. Através desta sequência didática, apresenta-se aos estudantes do Ensino Médio o conceito de ondas eletromagnéticas, numa dinâmica histórica que inclui discussões a respeito da natureza da ciência. O experimento histórico escolhido didaticamente como central é o experimento demonstrativo de Oliver Lodge, que projetou um sistema efetivo de recepção das ondas eletromagnéticas cuja principal inovação foi o emprego do coesor no lugar da antena de Hertz. Nessa dissertação, assume-se uma perspectiva pedagógica que se aproxima da Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica (PHC) na medida em que considera a difusão dos conteúdos, vivos e atualizados e a transmissão de conhecimentos historicamente acumulados pela humanidade, tarefas centrais da Educação. Constatamos uma afinidade entre a PHC e o ensino de ciências e concluímos que o referencial da PHC pode subsidiar o uso da História e da Filosofia da Ciência no ensino de ciências. Por fim, apresenta-se um relato e avaliação do desenvolvimento e aplicação efetiva da sequência didática proposta em sala de aula. O Produto Educacional desenvolvido neste trabalho de mestrado consiste na sequência didática e sua descrição, dos textos e questionários utilizados nas aulas e do texto de apoio ao professor. / This work has the goal of proposing a didactic sequence, with historical-philosophical approach, using experiments and historical demonstrations in the introduction of electromagnetism concepts in High School. Through this didactic sequence, the students of high school are presented to the concept of electromagnetic waves, in a historical dynamic that includes discussions about the nature of science. The historical experiment chosen didactically as central is the Oliver Lodge's demonstrative experiment, which designed an effective system for receiving electromagnetic waves whose main innovation was the use of the coesor instead of the Hertz’s antenna. In this dissertation, is assumed a pedagogical perspective that approaches the Historical-Critical Pedagogy (PHC) insofar as it considers the dissemination of live and up-to-date contents and the transmission of knowledge historically accumulated by humanity, central tasks of Education. We verified an affinity between the PHC and the Science Teaching and we concluded that the PHC referential can subsidize the use of History and Philosophy of Science in Science Teaching. Finally, a report and evaluation of the development and effective application of the didactic sequence proposed in the classroom is presented. The Educational Product developed in this master's work consists of the didactic sequence and its description, in the texts and questionnaires used in the classes and in the text to support the teacher.

Secret agonies, hidden wolves, leper-sins: the personal pains and prostitutes of Dickens, Trollope, and Gaskell

Carly-Miles, Claire Ilene 10 October 2008 (has links)
This dissertation explores the ways in which Charles Dickens writes Nancy in Oliver Twist, Anthony Trollope writes Carry Brattle in The Vicar of Bullhampton, and Elizabeth Gaskell writes Esther in Mary Barton to represent and examine some very personal and painful anxiety. About Dickens and Trollope, I contend that they turn their experiences of shame into their prostitute's shame. For Gaskell, I assert that the experience she projects onto her prostitute is that of her own maternal grief in isolation. Further, I argue that these authors self-consciously create biographical parallels between themselves and their prostitutes with an eye to drawing conclusions about the results of their anxieties, both for their prostitutes and, by proxy, for themselves. In Chapter II, I assert that in Nancy, Dickens writes himself and his sense of shame at his degradation and exploitation in Warren's Blacking Factory. This shame resulted in a Dickens divided, split between his successful, public persona and his secret, mortifying shame. Both shame and its divisiveness he represents in a number of ways in Nancy. In Chapter III, I contend that Trollope laces Carry Brattle with some of his own biographical details from his early adult years in London. These parallels signify Carry's personal importance to her author, and reveal her silences and her subordinate role in the text as representative of Trollope's own understanding and fear of shame and its consequences: its silencing and paralyzing nature, and its inescapability. In Chapter IV, I posit that Gaskell identifies herself with Esther, and that through her, Gaskell explores three personal things: her sorrow over the loss of not one but three of her seven children, her possible guilt over these deaths, and her emotional isolation in her marriage as she grieved alone. In her creation of Esther, Gaskell creates a way both to isolate her grief and to forge a close companion to share it, thus enabling her to examine and work through grief. In Chapter V, I examine the preface of each novel and find that these, too, reflect each author's identification with and investment of anxiety in his or her particular prostitute.

A dynamics theory of justice : Nietzsche, Holmes, and self-organizing criticality

Braithwaite, Murray James 05 1900 (has links)
Problem: Although Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. transformed American jurisprudence into critical self-awareness, there is no consensus on the nature of his legal theory. Holmes imperfectly represents each of several incompatible approaches. Commentators presume Holmes lacked any original or coherent theory of justice. Friedrich Nietzsche is likewise presumed a critical philosopher without a coherent theory of justice. Nietzsche wrote esoterically, but there is no consensus on the content of his esoteric agenda. Nietzsche's attitudes toward women appear misogynistic, but his philosophy paradoxically appeals to many feminists. Method: By re-conceptualizing Holmes and Nietzsche in terms of the principles of self-organized criticality, their understandings of causation and developmental dynamics become coherent. This thesis re-conceptualizes common-law legal reasoning as exploiting principles of self-organized criticality to build knowledge inductively. This reveals that Holmes and Nietzsche's genealogical critique of idealism rests on the computational implausibility of assuming there always exist microlevel rules to achieve desired macro-level goals. The legal-reasoning model shows that justice entails an inexhaustible open-system dynamic of applying limited resources to accommodate better an ever-broadening matrix of conflicting values. Nietzsche assesses psychological and social conditions that foster this collective creativity and decadent conditions that inhibit the growth of justice. Nietzsche identifies problems specific to institutions that require special safeguards that he esoterically conceals. Using Nietzsche's exoteric accounts of psychology and rhetoric based on principles of self-organized criticality, Nietzsche's esoteric techniques can be inferred, including his syncretism of pagan myths, which reveals his esoteric content. Conclusion: Holmes and Nietzsche applied a coherent theory of justice based on principles of causation and dynamics not widely accepted until the late twentieth century but having roots in ancient myths and isolated prior thinkers. Nietzsche defines justice as pursuing robust community growth without sacrificing the future for the present. Both Holmes and Nietzsche accord pursuit of justice with the good life whereby individuals promote their own development for greater sacrifice for the community. Nietzsche's esoteric solution to his problem of institutions was matriarchy. Nietzsche's matriarchy follows from his identification of the root of the institutional problem as male windfall opportunism, an evolved unconscious male tendency resulting from uncertainty over genetic parentage.

Charles Dickens and Mark Twain, the English and American Perspective on Child Heroes Portrayal

MACKOVÁ, Vanda January 2015 (has links)
This diploma thesis deals with the portrayal of child heroes in English and American literature, in works of Charles Dickens and Mark Twain. The chosen novels are Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. These novels are analysed in the themes of child labour and poverty, racism, religion, the view of the world by children in contrast to the adult perspective, upbringing and education. The last chapter deals with the humour of both novelists. Thus the emphasis is put on the social aspect of the literary output of Dickens and Twain. The main aim of the thesis is to depict these child heroes and their acting in the literature of the 19th century, and to reflect the life experience of both authors.
