Anarquismo en Asturias. 1890-1936Barrio Alonso, Angeles 24 June 1986 (has links)
La historia del anarquismo en España es la de un movimiento heterogéneo, plural y de manifestaciones muy diversas. El anarquismo fue en Asturias un movimiento, igualmente diverso y pluralista, en constante rivalidad con el republicanismo y el socialismo, primero, y con el comunismo, después, desde los orígenes, hasta la Guerra Civil. Fue un movimiento principalmente sindical, de movilización de masas, además de un movimiento cultural y “político” dentro de su apoliticismo doctrinal, que representó una vía específica y caracterizada dentro de la CNT, y de ahí el interés que presenta, más allá de la pura localización geográfica de la Federación de Asturias, León y Palencia. Militantes y dirigentes manifestaron siempre una peculiar percepción de la función del anarquismo en España, que no siempre fue la de la mayoría dentro de la organización nacional. Sin embargo, nunca se plantearon abandonarla, prueba del carácter esencialmente plural y “libertario” de la CNT. / The history of Spanish anarchism rest on a pluralist and heterogeneous movement beyond their ideas or political praxis. In Asturias, the anarchism and the anarchist militants and leaders, were in constant rivalry with republicanism, socialism and communism, from the origins to the Civil War. But, in fact, the asturian anarcosindicalismo, as tradeunion movement, and the asturian anarcosindicalistas were involved on mass mobilization, also than in cultural and political aims. Their specific idea about the role of the anarchism, in general, and the CNT, in particular, on Spanish politics, not always achieved the majority support in the CNT and was the making of a deep crisis in different times. Notwithstanding that, the Federacion Regional de Asturias, León y Palencia didn´t want to think to leave the organization off, because CNT were a pluralist and “libertarian” organization.

La morphologie du pluriel nominal du persan d’après la théorie Whole Word MorphologyFaghiri, Pegah 08 1900 (has links)
Ce mémoire présente une étude de la morphologie de ce qui est généralement appelé
le pluriel nominal du persan (parler de Téhéran) dans le cadre d’une théorie de la
morphologie basée sur le mot : Whole Word Morphology, développée par Ford et
Singh (1991). Ce modèle lexicaliste adopte une position plus forte que les modèles
proposés par Aronoff (1976) et Anderson (1992) en n’admettant aucune opération
morphologique sur des unités plus petites que le mot.
Selon cette théorie, une description morphologique consiste en l’énumération des
Stratégies de Formation de Mots (SFM), licencées chacunes par au moins deux paires
de mots ayant la même covariation formelle et sémantique. Tous les SFM suit le
même schéma.
Nous avons répertorié 49 SFM regroupant les pluriels et les collectifs. Nous
constatons qu’il est difficile de saisir le pluriel nominal du persan en tant que
catégorie syntaxique et que les différentes « marques du pluriel » présentées dans la
littérature ne constituent pas un ensemble homogène : elles partagent toutes un sens
de pluralité qui cependant varie d’une interprétation référentielle à une
interprétation collective non-référentielle.
Cette étude vise la déscription de la compétence morphologique, ce qui ne dépend
d’aucune considération extralinguistique. Nous argumentons notamment contre la
dichotomie arabe/persan généralement admise dans la littérature. Nous avons
également fourni des explications quant à la production des pluriels doubles et
avons discuté de la variation supposée du fait d’un choix multiple de « marques du
pluriel ». / This thesis presents a word-based study of what is generally called the nominal
plural morphology of Persian (Tehrani dialect) within the framework of the Whole
Word Morphology developed by Ford & Singh (1991). This lexicaliste model takes
up a stronger position than that proposed by Aronoff (1976) and Anderson (1992), by
not allowing any morphological operation on units smaller than the word.
According to this theory a morphological description consist of the listing of the
Word Formation Strategies (WFS), each licensed by at least two pairs of words
having the same formal and semantic covariation. All WFS’s follow the same
schema.
We have listed 49 WFS’s of plurals and collectives. We note that it is difficult to
understand the import of the plural nominal as a syntactic category in Persian and
that different “marks of plural” presented in the literature do not make a
homogeneous unity: they all share a plurality meaning but it varies from referential
interpretation to collective and non-referential interpretation.
This study’s aim is to describe the morphological competence, which does not
depend on any extra-linguistic criteria. In particular, we argue against the generally
admitted Arabic/Persian dichotomy. We also provide explanation with regards to
the utterance of double plurals and to the variation assumed since more than one
choice of “plural marks” are available.

Previous issue date: 2013-12-11 / In the activity of supplying sugar cane to the mills in Brazil, there are governance structures differentiated between plants and also for the same plant. These structures range from the highest level of hierarchy vertical integration, in which the plant produces its own fields in the raw material for its supply to the less of hierarchy spot market, in which the plant gets the sugar cane from outside farmers without contracts or commitments with the following crops. Between these two extreme governance structures have been identified other supply arrangements called hybrids. The main objective of this thesis is to identify the factors that influence the choice of governance structures present in the supply of sugar cane in a given group of mills in the West region of São Paulo/BR State. The specific objectives are to: a) show what determines the representativeness of each governance structure in the mills selected in the West region of the state of São Paulo; b) identify the existence of plural forms; c) analyze the factors that justify the option in the mills for plural or singular forms of governance in the same type of transaction in the region West of the state of São Paulo; and d) compare the supply strategies of the plants of western São Paulo. This analysis was performed under the focus of the New Institutional Economics literature, especially dealing with the characteristics of transactions Transaction Cost Economics. The research is characterized, as the social group as explanatory research. To this end, it was applied an interview to the decision makers for supplying of raw material in the mills that represent a group of ten unities located in the west of São Paulo by competing for suppliers and land . It was observed that the characteristics of the transactions locational and temporal specificity, uncertainty and frequency are not determinative for the choice of governance structures, as recommended by the literature of transaction costs. These same characteristics make plants adopt formal mechanisms, provided for in contracts, and informal control transactions. The characteristics of transactions in supply of sugarcane exclude one of the governance structures observed in the literature the spot market but do not determine the uniqueness of others. The results also indicate that the plurality of transactions that serve the same purpose is common in the units studied and is related to the history of these plants, the need to eliminate some uncertainty in the supply and the balance between risks and disadvantages of singular forms. The singular forms, observed in only one case, appeared only as a function of need for financial restructuring of the company. Finally, it was noted that there is a significant diversity of arrangements for the supply of sugarcane in western São Paulo, hampering the framework of the structures observed in this research that was presented in the literature so far. / Na atividade de suprimento de cana-de-açúcar para a usina, no Brasil, há estruturas de governança diferenciadas entre as usinas e também para uma mesma usina. Essas estruturas variam desde a de maior nível de hierarquia a integração vertical, na qual a usina produz em campos próprios a matéria-prima para seu abastecimento até a de ausência de hierarquia o mercado spot, no qual a usina recebe a cana-de-açúcar de fornecedores externos sem contratos ou compromissos com as safras seguintes. Entre essas duas formas foram identificadas outras formas de abastecimento denominadas de arranjos híbridos. O objetivo geral desta tese é o de identificar os fatores que influenciam a escolha pelas estruturas de governança presentes no suprimento de cana-de-açúcar em um grupo de usinas da região Oeste paulista. Os objetivos específicos desta tese são: a) mostrar o que determina a representatividade de cada estrutura de governança nas usinas pesquisadas na região do Oeste do estado de São Paulo; b) identificar a existência de formas plurais; c) analisar os fatores que justificam a opção da usina por formas plurais ou formas singulares de governança em um mesmo tipo de transação na região Oeste do estado de São Paulo; e d) comparar as estratégias de fornecimento das usinas do oeste paulista. Esta análise foi realizada sob o foco da literatura da Nova Economia Institucional, em especial a que trata das características das transações Economia dos Custos de Transação. A pesquisa caracteriza-se, quanto ao agrupamento social, como pesquisa explicativa. Para tal, foi elaborado um roteiro de entrevista aplicado aos responsáveis pela decisão de suprimento de matéria-prima nas usinas, que compõem um grupo de dez unidades localizadas no Oeste paulista e que concorrem por fornecedores e terras. Observou-se que as características das transações especificidades temporal e locacional, incerteza e frequência não são determinantes para a escolha das estruturas de governança, como preconiza a literatura dos custos de transação. Essas mesmas características fazem com que as usinas adotem mecanismos formais, previstos em contratos, e informais de controle das transações. As características das transações de abastecimento de cana-de-açúcar excluem uma das estruturas de governança observadas na literatura o mercado spot , mas não determinam a exclusividade das outras. Os resultados indicam também que a pluralidade nas transações que atendem a um mesmo fim é comum nas unidades estudadas e está relacionada à história dessas usinas, à necessidade de se eliminar algumas incertezas no abastecimento e ao balanceamento entre riscos e desvantagens das formas singulares. As formas singulares, observadas em apenas um dos casos, surgiram apenas como função da necessidade de saneamento financeiro da empresa. Por fim, notou-se que há uma significativa diversidade dos arranjos no abastecimento de cana-de-açúcar no Oeste paulista, o que dificultou o enquadramento das estruturas observadas nesta pesquisa ao que foi apresentado pela literatura até o momento.

La recherche d'un statut de l'oeuvre transformatrice. Contribution à l'étude de l'oeuvre composite en droit d'auteur. / Transformative worksLéger, Pauline 14 December 2015 (has links)
Plusieurs initiatives d’origines européenne et nationale ont contribué à l’émergence d’un nouveau concept en droit d’auteur : l’œuvre transformatrice. La récurrence et la persistance des débats en la matière prouvent que ce concept ne traduit pas qu’un phénomène conjoncturel. Ces raisons conduisent en conséquence à lui consacrer une étude afin de déterminer la pertinence de l’admission de ce concept en droit d’auteur. L’étude débute par le constat que certains auteurs travaillent en s’adossant volontairement à une ou plusieurs œuvres originelles créées par autrui, qu’ils intègrent à leur processus créatif, aboutissant ainsi à la création d'une œuvre nouvelle. Ces pratiques d’emprunt créatif à l’œuvre d’autrui ont désormais pris une dimension particulière. Celle-ci s’explique d’une part par le développement du numérique. D’autre part, une partie du public, soit les destinataires des œuvres, souhaite participer activement à la création et revendique le droit d’utiliser les œuvres d’autrui comme autant de moyens d’expression et de création. Le législateur a certes envisagé l’hypothèse dans laquelle une œuvre nouvelle procède d'une œuvre préexistante au travers de la catégorie légale des œuvres composites. Cependant, les dispositions éparses qui lui sont consacrées souffrent d’une terminologie et d’un régime imprécis qui n’ont jamais fait l’objet d’une étude juridique approfondie. L’émergence du concept d’œuvre transformatrice illustre l’importance théorique et pratique de remettre en cause cette catégorie légale des œuvres composites. Aussi, la délimitation du concept suppose, dans un premier temps, une nécessaire remise en cause des catégories traditionnelles qui constituent les piliers du droit d'auteur, ainsi que les impératifs auxquels la constitution de ce monopole doit répondre. Cette lecture renouvelée aboutit à circonscrire la notion fonctionnelle d’œuvre transformatrice. Loin de se cantonner à proposer une nouvelle version de l’œuvre originelle, l’auteur de l’œuvre transformatrice exprime une opinion sur l’œuvre d’autrui, en induisant un décalage avec celle-ci. Bien souvent, il a réalisé son œuvre sans l’autorisation de l’auteur de l’œuvre originelle, et leurs droits entrent alors en conflit. Dans un second temps, l’étude s’attelle à appréhender ce conflit de droits. Le droit positif s’avère limité, de sorte qu’il faut affiner l’analyse juridique du lien unissant ces deux auteurs en l’enrichissant de la comparaison avec des mécanismes extérieurs au droit d’auteur, et d’autres issus du droit comparé. En définitive, c’est par le mécanisme de l’exception au droit d’auteur que l’on trouvera le moyen de concilier de manière pérenne les droits de l’auteur originel et ceux de l’auteur de l’œuvre transformatrice. / Transformative work is a new concept in copyright law that is emerging from several recent initiatives across Europe. The recurring debate on this concept indicates that it is not short-lived and highlights the need for a strategy to define a suitable legal framework. The purpose of this study is to assess the relevance of including the concept of transformative works in French and European Union copyright law. The starting point is authors’ integration of original works created by third parties in their creative process so as to generate new pieces of work. These practices are increasing in occurrence, with the rise of the digital age being one explanation of their prevalence. Furthermore, the public appreciates the value of these works and wishes to maintain the right to use third party works as a means of creative expression. The legislator has envisaged categorising new work inspired from pre-existing work as derivative and composite work. Nevertheless, the scarce arrangements that have been developed lack a proper framework and a detailed legal study has yet to be undertaken. The emergence of the concept of transformative work highlights the practical and theoretical need to challenge the legal definition of derivative and composite work. Far from offering a new derived version of the original piece of work, the author of a transformative work expresses an opinion on the third party work, by inserting a differentiating element. Therefore, the format of expression and content justify the legal analysis between the author of the original piece of work and the author of the transformative work. As such, framing the concept involves in the first instance, questioning the traditional pillars of copyright law and their requirements. This new understudy leads to the framing of the definition of transformative work. Secondly, this study focusses on how several copyright laws can co-exist. The content of positive law is limited and therefore, the study helps develop the concept of transformative work by comparing external mechanisms of both copyright and comparative law.In conclusion, incorporating transformative work into copyright law is based on the exception mechanism of copyright law.

A comparative study of the verb structure in northern, central and southern Khoesan: the case of Ju/’hoansi, Naro and !XóõMotse-Mogara, Budzani Gabana 02 1900 (has links)
Text in English / This dissertation, deals with the verb structure found in Ju/̕hoansi, Naro and !Xóõ, which form part of the Northern, Central and Southern Khoesan respectively. Although previous studies have been conducted on these languages, no study has been done to date involving a detailed comparison of the structures in these languages. Thus, not much has been done in the area of syntax; particularly syntactical comparison. Previous studies ignored comparisons of grammatical categories and structures such as noun class markers, plural formation markers, tense and aspect markers and verbal extensions.
This dissertation consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 covers the language situation in Botswana. Chapter 2 is devoted to the literature review. Chapter 3 deals with the linguistic features found in the three languages. Chapter 4 covers the methodology and the theoretical framework adopted in the dissertation. The theoretical framework is
eclectic in nature, in other words, the study is largely descriptive. However, on occasion, some aspects of lexical functional grammar (LFG) are used. This theoretical framework is appealing as it best handles important aspects of the languages under consideration,
particularly the verb extensions. Chapter 5 describes the noun class system, highlighting the markers found in different noun classes. It also covers tense and aspect markers as well as the verbal extensions found in the three languages. Specifically, it is argued in this chapter that plural formation occurs in three ways; regular plurals, irregular plurals and neutral plurals.
The study reveals a close relationship between tense and aspect and the motion of the events, points of reference and moment of speech encoded in the verbs involved.
Adverbials can co-occur with the relevant tenses. Lastly, it is shown that verbal extensions do not just combine freely; they are subject to different kinds of sequential constraints.
Chapter 6 summarizes the main findings, highlighting the similarities and differences in the three languages. Naro is SOV while Ju/'hoansi and !Xóõ are SVO. Chapter 6 also indicates areas in these Khoesan Languages requiring further research. / African Languages / D. Litt. et Phil. (African Languages)

La Fédération française des Éclaireurs (FFE) : une histoire de jeunes filles et de femmes dans un mouvement scout féminin en France (1911-1970) / The French Girl Guiding Federation : éclaireuses (FFE) : history of girls in the Girl Guiding movement in France (1911-1970)Tobita, Takako 26 June 2018 (has links)
La Fédération Française des Éclaireuses est le premier mouvement du scoutisme féminin en France, créée en 1921 et dissoute en 1964. Notre recherche s’emploie à retracer l'histoire de ce mouvement associatif atypique qui regroupe des membres interconfessionnels protestants, catholiques, juifs et laïques, sous l’angle du pluralisme socioculturel, ce qui était rare par rapport à d’autres mouvements de jeunesse de l’époque. La spécificité du mouvement du scoutisme tient également à sa méthode éducative, forgée sur l’enfant et l’adolescent par son fondateur, Robert Baden-Powell. Nous commencerons par étudier le début du scoutisme en Grande Bretagne et son adaptation en France dans la première décennie du XXe siècle, puis la fondation de la FFE, et sa dissolution vers la reconstruction des mouvements scouts mixtes jusqu'en 1970. / The French Girl Guides Federation, Éclaireuses (FFE), founded in 1921 and disbanded in 1964, is the first Girl Guiding Movement in France. The present focus is to retrace the history of this movement, since the start of the scout movement in Great Britain, which was introduced to France in the first decade of the 20th century, through the development under the form of an association, which brought to gather the members from various about social culture and religion: Protestants, Roman Catholics, Jews and non-religious peoples, etc. We analyse their difficulties to cooperating each other, their decision for break-up in 1964, which resulting in the recreation of a mixed scouts movements until 1970.

Bare nouns among and beyond creoles / a syntactic-semantic study of Kriyol Bare Noun Phrases based on a crosslinguistic comparison and the theoretical implicationsTruppi, Chiara 10 August 2015 (has links)
Die vorliegende Dissertation ist dreiteilig: i) deskriptiv, ii) komparatistisch, und iii) theoretisch. Nach einer allgemeinen Diskussion über die Geschichte und Grammatik des Guinea-Bissau Kreol (GBK) und einer Übersicht über die Herangehensweisen an artikellose Nominalphrasen (Bare Noun Phrases; BNPs), bietet die vorliegende Arbeit eine ausführliche Beschreibung der Distribution und Interpretation von BNPs in GBK. Sie können als Argumente und nicht-Argumente erscheinen. Bei Subjekten, indirekten Objekten, bei Topikalisierung, “dislocation” und “clefting” ergeben sie definite Interpretationen. Artikellose direkte Objekte können alle möglichen Interpretationen haben, ausgenommen eine pluralisch-spezifische Lesart. Die Interpretation von BNPs wird von kontextuellen Zusammenhängen als auch von Aspekt und Prädikattyp bestimmt. Perfektive und kontinuativ-imperfektive Kontexte lösen definit-spezifische Lesarten für artikellose Objekte aus. Artikellose Objekte in habituell-imperfektiven Kontexten ergeben eine indefinite, nicht-spezifische Lesart. Artikellose Subjekte von “stage level”-Prädikaten ergeben eine existentiale Interpretation, indeterminierte Subjekte von “individual level”-Prädikaten dagegen leiten definit-generische Lesarten ab. Die vorliegende Arbeit beinhaltet auch einen interlingualen Vergleich zwischen Kreol- und Nicht-Kreolsprachen: i) Cape Verdean Creole, Santome, Papiamentu und Brazilianisches Portugiesisch; und ii) Mandarin Chinesisch, Vietnamesisch und Gbe Sprachen. Die Distribution und Interpretation von BNPs ist sehr homogen. Alle erlauben sowohl singularische als auch pluralische Lesarten für BNPs: BNPs sind bezüglich Numerus unspezifiziert. Das führt uns zur theoretischen Diskussion über Numerus: ausgehend von Depréz’s (2007) Plural Parameter und seinen grundlegenden Annahmen (BNPs sind unspezifiziert für Numerus, und die grundlegende Denotation von Nomen ist Art vom Typ e), wird ein neues Modell sowie eine konsequente Sprachtypologie entwickelt. / The nature of the present dissertation is threefold: i) descriptive, ii) comparative, and iii) theoretical. After a brief general discussion on the history and grammar of Guinea-Bissau Creole, and after an extensive review of various approaches on BNPs, both from the semantic and syntactic perspective, the present work will offer an exhaustive description of the distribution and interpretation of Bare Noun Phrases in GBC. They may be found in both argument and nonargument positions. The general tendency for BNPs in GBC is to yield a definite reading (subjects, recipient objects, in topicalizion, dislocation and clefting). One difference is that bare patient objects may yield any possible interpretation, except from the specific plural. BNPs interpretation is driven by contextual factors as well as by aspect and predicate type. Perfective and continuous imperfective contexts trigger definite specific readings for bare objects. One difference is that bare objects in habitual imperfective contexts yield indefinite nonspecific interpretations. As for predicate types, bare subjects of stage-level predicates yield existential readings, whereas bare subjects of individual-level predicates derive definite generic readings. The present work also undertakes a crosslinguistic comparison between creoles and noncreoles: i) Cape Verdean Creole, Santome, Papiamentu and Brazilian Portuguese; and ii) Mandarin Chinese, Vietnamese and Gbe languages. It turns out that BNPs distribution and interpretation are quite homogeneous. Importantly, BNPs in any of these languages may yield both singular and plural readings: BNPs are thus unspecified as for Number. This leads us to our theoretical discussion on Number: starting from Depréz’s (2007) Plural Parameter and its basic assumptions (e.g. BNPs are unspecified as for Number, and the basic denotation of nouns is kind of type e), a new model, and the consequent linguistic typology, is developed.

Plurale Weltinterpretationen / Plural World Interpretations. The case of the Tyvans of South Siberia. / Множественныe интерпретации мира. Пример тувинцев Южной Сибири.Oelschlägel, Anett C. 04 March 2013 (has links) (PDF)
Plurale Weltinterpretationen praktizieren wir täglich, meist ohne uns darüber bewusst zu sein. Zustande kommen sie durch die gleichzeitige und gleichwertige Existenz verschiedener Modelle der Weltinterpretation. Sie sind Produkte menschlicher Schöpferkraft und stehen als parallele Realitäten einander ergänzend und einander widersprechend nebeneinander. Das Buch führt am Beispiel der Tyva Südsibiriens in zwei Modelle der Weltinterpretation und in die Praxis des Umgangs mit ihnen ein. Es zeigt, wie einzelne lokale Akteure zwei von mehreren Modellen flexibel zum Einsatz bringen, um Situationen zu deuten und in ihnen zu handeln. Es wird deutlich, welchen Regeln die Tyva dabei folgen, welche Gründe sie leiten und welche Folgen sie zu tragen haben. Das Ergebnis ist ein Bild zeitgenössischer Kultur, das der gegenwärtig gegebenen Flexibilität und Pluralität des menschlichen Deutens, Handelns und Verhaltens gerecht wird. / Plural World Interpretations are part of our everyday lives, even if we are not aware of the fact. They result from the simultaneous existence of different but equal models for interpreting the world we live in. These models are the product of human constructivity and co-exist as parallel realities, complementing and contradicting each other. Based on fieldwork among the Tyva of southern Siberia, the book discusses the practice of dealing with this multiplicity of world interpretations and shows how individual actors oscillate flexibly between two of many possible models for interpreting specific situations and act on them. The rules Tyvans apply in varying contexts, the reasons behind their choices and the consequences they have to deal with, are analysed. The result is an account of contemporary culture that explores the flexibility and plurality of human interpretation, action and behaviour. / Мы используем множественные интерпретации мира (нем. plurale Weltinterpretationen) ежедневно и, в большинстве случаев, неосознанно. Осуществляется это за счёт одновременного и равноценного сосуществования различных моделей мировоззрения. Они являются продуктом творческой деятельностей человека и сосуществуют в качестве параллельных реальностей, дополняя и, одновременно, противореча друг другу. На примере тувинцев Южной Сибири данная книга знакомит с двумя моделями мировоззрения, а также с практикой их применения. Показывается, как локальные акторы гибко применяют две из существующего множества моделей: и для того, чтобы действовать в складывающихся ситуациях, и чтобы толковать их. Станет понятным, каким правилам при этом следуют тувинцы, какими мотивами руководствуются и какие это имеет последствия. Результатом явится картина современной культуры, которая будет отвечать имеющимся на данный момент запросам гибкости и многообразия в мировоззрении, действиях и поведении человека.

Paulus in gemeinschaft seiner Mitarbeiter: eine Untersuchung der Kollegialmission im Corpus Paulinum und in der Apostelgeschichte (Paul in the fellowship of his co-workers: a survey of Paul among his co-workers in the Corpus Paulinum and in Acts)Drews, Alexander 30 April 2006 (has links)
This dissertation attempts to illuminate the significance of what has been called the "coworkers"
for Paul's mission. At the same time it revises the traditional portrait of Paul as a
"lone ranger", not properly understood and appreciated by others. Thus the focus is on the
way in which Paul together with his co-workers as his missionary partners achieved the
various tasks of early Chrisian mission, namely the proclamation of the gospel and the
consolidation of churches. This phenomenon is best described with the German term
Kollegialmission, i.e. a mission carried by a team of colleagues.
A survey of research is followed by a detailed analysis of this phenomenon in the letters
commonly recognised as written by Paul himself. In additon to explicit statements on the
co-workers, attention is also given to implicit references, e.g. verb forms in the first person
plural which appear in some letters and contribute to understanding this Kollegialmission.
Then the same methodological procedure is applied to the disputed letters of Paul. A final
chapter examines the portrait of Paul and his co-workers in the Book of Acts.
This dissertation demonstrates that this understanding and practice of Kollegialmission
was a central point in Paul's mission and self-understanding. His co-workers receive their
commission and authority from God, to whom they are responsible. The gospel constitutes
the foundation for this cooperation between Paul and his co-workers. Thus the co-workers
perform the same duties as Paul himself, though his special apostolate remains in place.
The picture of the Kollegialmission in the Deuteropauline letters differs only slightly from
that of the letters generally recognised as Paul's own. As the author of Acts is mainly
interested in the person of Paul, his co-workers appear increasingly on the backstage as the
story unfolds. This examination closes with an application of some principles of Paul's
Kollegialmission to present day congregational ministry and mission work. / Theology / M.Th.
