Narrativa sobre narrativas : uma interpretação sobre o romance e a modernidade (com uma leitura da obra de Antonio Lobo Antunes) / Narrative about narratives : an interpretation of the novel and modernity (with a reading of Antonio Lobo Antunes'work

Telles, Luis Fernando Prado 13 August 2018 (has links)
Orientador: Fabio Akcelrud Durão / Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Estudos da Linguagem / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-13T23:14:32Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Telles_LuisFernandoPrado_D.pdf: 2751775 bytes, checksum: 8a0fcc134efdb76f5f2bd139c83bc1f5 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009 / Resumo: Esta tese consiste numa interpretação sobre o discurso teórico e o ficcional. Num primeiro momento, são trabalhados os discursos constitutivos das teorias sobre a modernidade e sobre o romance; num segundo, aborda-se o discurso ficcional da obra do autor português António Lobo Antunes. O ponto em comum que orienta a interpretação nas diferentes frentes diz respeito ao interesse em investigar o estatuto da narrativa no âmbito desses discursos. Pretende-se demonstrar um fenômeno coincidente nos três campos de investigação, que diz respeito ao fato de a narrativa ser colocada em xeque, isto é, de o seu estatuto e a sua validade serem questionados e, concomitantemente, esse mesmo questionamento apontar para um retorno de sua validade e, conseqüentemente, para uma sua permanência. Isto é o que se procurou demonstrar pelo trabalho de interpretação de alguns discursos teóricos que buscaram pensar a passagem da modernidade à pósmodernidade, bem como daqueles que procuraram se constituir enquanto teorias do romance. O questionamento a respeito da possibilidade da morte da narrativa acabou demonstrando, paradoxalmente, um retorno ao narrativo; principalmente pelo fato de os próprios discursos que afirmaram isso acabarem se revelando, eles próprios, como construtos narrativos. Essa investigação de cunho teórico se mostra organizada na primeira parte do trabalho, intitulada A modernidade e a narrativa sobre o romance. Esta parte é composta por dois capítulos. No primeiro, procura-se construir um quadro compreensivo das principais questões pertinentes ao debate sobre a modernidade, o fim da modernidade e a pós-modernidade; em especial, dá-se relevância ao trabalho com as teorias de Gianni Vattimo e de Fredric Jameson. Este capítulo inicial intitula-se Mais uma pequena narrativa sobre o fim das grandes narrativas. O segundo capítulo, intitulado Romance: ou sobre como narrar um "mundo abandonado por deus", configura-se como um desdobramento das discussões apresentadas no primeiro e constitui-se de uma interpretação que se faz a partir da articulação da leitura de alguns dos principais estudos pertinentes à teoria do romance. Esta interpretação deve ser entendida como resultado de um construto narrativo também, tal como o que foi realizado no primeiro capítulo. A segunda parte da tese, intitulada A modernidade e a narrativa do romance, é composta pelo terceiro capítulo, em que se pretende construir uma interpretação sobre as variações formais das narrativas de António Lobo Antunes. Por esta, procura-se demonstrar como o já referido fenômeno paradoxal da negação e afirmação da narrativa ocorre no âmbito do discurso ficcional das obras do autor português, de modos distintos e em diferentes níveis. Nas duas últimas seções desse terceiro capítulo, busca-se uma articulação entre essa interpretação da obra de Lobo Antunes e aquelas realizadas nos dois capítulos anteriores. Não há um capítulo conclusivo / Abstract: This thesis consists of an interpretation about theoretical and fictional speech. In a first part, they are worked out as through several theories of the modernity and novel; after this, the work of the Portuguese author António Lobo Antunes is approached. The common point that guides the interpretation in such different fronts concerns the interest in investigating the statute of narrative in the realm of those discourses. It intends to demonstrate a coincident phenomenon in the three investigation fields, that concerns the capacity of the narrative to keep in check, that is, its statute and its validity they be questioned and, concomitantly, this questionment points for a return of its validity and, consequently, for its permanence. That was she tried to demonstrate for the work of interpretation of some theoretic speeches that looked for think about the passage of modernity to post-modernity, as well as those that sought to constitute as novel theories. The questionment regarding the possibility of the death of the narrative ended up demonstrating, paradoxically, a return to the narrative; mainly for the fact of the speeches that affirmed that ended up revealing theyself, as narrative constructs. This investigation of theoretic stamp is shown organized in the first part of the work, entitled The modernity and the narrative about the novel. This part is composed by two chapters. In the first, it tries to build an understanding picture of the main pertinent subjects to discussion about the modernity, the end of modernity and the post-modernity; specially, it feels relevance to the work with Gianni Vattimo's and Fredric Jameson's theories. This initial chapter is entitled One more little narrative about the end of the great narratives. The second chapter, entitled Novel: or about how to narrate an "abandoned world by god", it is configured as an unfolding of the discussions presented in the first and constituts of an interpretation that is done starting from the articulation of the reading of some of the main pertinent studies to the theory of the novel. This interpretation should be understood as a result of a narrative construct also, as what it was accomplished in the first chapter. The second part of theory, entitled The modernity and the narrative of the novel, is composed by the third chapter, which intends to build an interpretation about the formal variations of António Lobo Antunes' narratives. By this, it tries to demonstrate as the already referred paradoxical phenomenon of the denial and statement of the narrative happens in the extent of the fictional speech of the Portuguese author's works, of different ways and in different levels. In the last two sections of that third chapter, an articulation is looked between that interpretation of Lobo Antunes' work and those accomplished in the two previous chapters. There is no conclusive chapter / Doutorado / Literatura Portuguesa / Doutor em Teoria e História Literária

Procurou-se abordar a Luta Antimanicomial numa perspectiva crítico-dialética, percorrendo-se um caminho teórico analítico a partir da Pesquisa Bibliográfica e da Análise Documental, no qual, primeiramente abordaram-se os seguintes temas: a Modernidade, enquanto o contexto sócio histórico de emergência da cidadania e do desenvolvimento de suas distintas concepções, dentre elas a liberal, a marxista e a pós-moderna; o Pós-modernismo; os novos movimentos sociais e os limites da política de identidades; a trajetória sócio-histórica da Luta Antimanicomial; as concepções teórico-políticas que influenciaram e influenciam o movimento; e as várias concepções referentes à cidadania e à “cidadania do louco”. A análise documental deu-se a partir dos relatórios dos encontros dos movimentos que compõem a Luta Antimanicomial. A partir de um balanço analítico entre as concepções de cidadania adotadas pelos intelectuais e pela Luta Antimanicomial - em relação às concepções de cidadania liberal, pós-moderna e marxista - foi possível identificar a mudança na concepção de cidadania presente na Luta ao longo desses 20 anos de militância, bem como sua tergiversação à concepção inicial que norteava a Luta. / This essay has analyzed the citizenship conception defended by the Antimadhouse Struggle in Brazil, since its beginning in 1987, with the 2nd National Congress of the Mental Health Workers, until the late meetings of the movements that compose the Struggle, realized in 2007. It has been approached the Antimadhouse Struggle in a critical-dialectical perspective, covering a theoretical analytical way from the Bibliographical Research and the Documental Analysis, in which, firstly it has been approached the following themes: Modernity, while a social historical context of citizenship emergency and of the development of its distinct conceptions, among them the liberal, the Marxist and the post-modern ones; the Post-modernism; the new social movements and the limits of the identity politics; the social historical trajectory of the Antimadhouse Struggle; the theoretical-political conceptions that have influenced and influence the movement; and the several conceptions referring to citizenship and “mad people citizenship”. The Documental Analysis was done from the reports on the meetings of the movements that compose the Antimadhouse Struggle. From an analytical balance among the citizenship conceptions adopted by intellectuals and by the Antimadhouse Struggle – in relation to the liberal, post-modern and Marxist citizenship conceptions, it has been possible to identify the change on the citizenship conception presented by the Struggle along these 20 years of militancy, as well as its tergiversation towards the initial conception that led the Struggle.

Orthodox mission methods : a comparative study

Hayes, Stephen Tromp Wynn 06 1900 (has links)
After a barren period between about 1920 and 1970, in which there was little or no mission activity, the Orthodox Church has experienced a revival of interest in mission. This thesis is an examination of how Orthodox theology and worldviews have affected Orthodox mission methods, and account for some of the differences between Orthodox methods and those of Western Christians. A starting point for the study of the Orthodox theology of mission is the ikon of the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, which shows the apostles gathered in the upper room with the world in their midst. Orthodox soteriology, which sees Christ as the conqueror of evil and death, rather than as the punisher of sin, has led Orthodox missionaries to have a more open approach to other cultures. A historical survey of ways in which the Orthodox Church grew in the past includes martyrdom, mission and statecraft, monastic mission, and in the 20th century, the missionary significance of the Orthodox diaspora. Even in the fallow period, however, there was mission in the sense that various groups of people were drawn to Orthodoxy, sometimes through the ministry of irregularly ordained bishops. The collapse of communist regimes in the Second World has created many new opportunities for orthodox mission, but has also brought problems of intra-Christian proselytism, nationalism and viole:1ce, and schism and stagnation in those places. As the Orthodox Church prepares to enter the 21st century, its worldview, which has been less influenced by the modernity of the West, may enable it to minister more effectively to people involved in postmodern reactions against modernity. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D.Th.

Figura rerum : 'the pattern of the glory' : the theological contributions of Charles Williams

Blair, Paul S. January 2014 (has links)
This thesis seeks to show that Charles Williams makes a significant contribution to theology, and it demonstrates the nature of that contribution. A pattern of theological themes centering on the Incarnation, emphasizing the humanity of Christ, is repeated throughout his works. For Williams, human beings are images of the coinherent Godhead. His theological anthropology further develops through his understanding of imaging, as shown for instance in the Incarnation, and in Dante's characterization of Beatrice as a God bearer. His view of images is built from Coleridge's understanding of the nature of a symbol. This picture of imaging is widely applied, first and foremost to relationships of love, seen as potential incarnate images of grace. Williams seeks to extend his picture to all relationships and, further, to whatever man must do to go beyond himself to an encounter with God. He believes that man is responsible for his brother, in practice by bearing his brother's burdens, with substitutionary acts of vicarious love. A further part of his thinking then views people as living in coinherent relationships, and the universe as a web of coinherent relations. He draws his examples of natural coinherent relations from the world of commerce with its exchange and substitution of labors and from the child living within its mother, and builds a picture of what he calls the City, a broader coinherent society. Coinherence begins and flows from the Trinity and the Incarnation and then is found in relationships between God and man: in the Church, in the future City of God, and in all Creation. The Fall brings about the breakdown of the coinherence of God and man and man and man, and that breakdown is a central characteristic of sin. Williams believes that a regenerated coinherence in Christ brings about a renewal of mankind.

L'imputabilité en droit pénal / Imputability in penal law

Gomez, Elisabeth 17 November 2017 (has links)
Après une intrusion chaotique dans la théorie de la responsabilité pénale, l’imputabilité peut aujourd’hui apparaître comme une donnée d’essence classique. Elle répond à une définition subjective faisant consensus en doctrine et supposant l’addition du discernement et d’une volonté libre de l’agent. Dans le prolongement, elle est unanimement entendue comme constituant le fondement de la responsabilité pénale. Cependant, la cohabitation entre les différentes conditions de la responsabilité pénale, en particulier entre les concepts de culpabilité et d’imputabilité, n’est peut-être pas aussi pacifiée qu’il n’y paraît. En réalité, la question de l’indépendance des notions n’a jamais été clairement résolue, car leurs composantes respectives participent des conditions subjectives à l’engagement de la responsabilité pénale. Pourtant, la question est loin d’être anecdotique, en particulier si l’on considère certaines institutions fondamentales du droit pénal, au rang desquelles figurent les notions d’infraction et de complicité. Il apparaît ainsi, à l’analyse, que la définition traditionnelle de l’imputabilité mérite quelques ajustements, conduisant à une reconfiguration du champ de la condition de liberté relevant de l’imputabilité. Cette recherche vise aussi à établir que l’imputabilité est une donnée étrangère à l’infraction concrètement commise. Cette place spécifique au sein de la responsabilité pénale, mettant en évidence le lien entre l’imputabilité et la sanction infligée en rétribution de l’infraction commise, permet d’adopter une vision plus large du concept, susceptible d’affronter le bouleversement consécutif à l’entrée du droit pénal dans l’ère de la post-modernité. Cette dernière, que l’on pourrait associer au néopositivisme pénal du début du siècle, s’est accompagnée d’une résurgence des concepts de risque et de dangerosité. L’impact de cette évolution sur l’imputabilité peut apparaître radical : rupture du caractère unitaire de la notion, émergence du concept d’imputation à l’égard des personnes morales, voire même effacement pur et simple de l’imputabilité à l’égard des personnes physiques. Pourtant, des modalités de restauration de l’exigence d’imputabilité seront envisagées sur les terrains substantiel, par le truchement de l’imputabilité comprise comme capacité pénale, et processuel – par des propositions concernant les procédures pensées en considération de la psychologie de l’agent. Au bout du compte, il apparaît que l’imputabilité est de nature à jouer un rôle décisif dans l’organisation d’une cohabitation raisonnée avec le concept de dangerosité, en condamnant la prise en compte de la dangerosité seulement hypothétique sans exclure la possibilité d’une rétention après la peine. / After a chaotic intrusion in the theory of penal liability, imputability can today appear as a classical notion. The general doctrinal consensus is that it depends on a subjective definition, implying the offender’s discernment and free will. Moreover, the notion of imputability is unanimously considered as the basis of penal liability. However, cohabitation between the various conditions of penal liability, particularly between the concepts of guilt and imputability, may not be as steady as it seems. Indeed, the independence of these notions has actually never been clearly demonstrated, for their respective components represent the subjective conditions creating penal liability. Nevertheless, this topic is far from being anecdotal, specifically among several fundamental institutions of criminal Law, in which the notions of infraction and complicity are involved. Thus, the definition of imputability may deserve some adjustments, and imply, consequently, a reworking of the release condition coming under imputability. This study also aims at proving that imputability is an irrelevant element to the concretely committed offence. This specific part in penal liability, highlighting the link between imputability and the penalty imposed in response to the committed offence, enables a wider vision of the concept that could help facing the upheaval resulting from the entry of criminal Law in the post-modernity era. The latter, that one could associate with the beginning of the century’s penal neopositivism, also implied the resurgence of the concepts of risk and dangerousness. The impact of this evolution about imputability may seem radical : end of the unitary aspect of the notion, emergence of the concept of imputation towards legal entities, and even total erasure of imputability towards natural persons. And yet, some solutions to the reconstitution of the exigence of imputability will be developed, not only in a substantial approach, where imputability will be understood as penal capacity, but also in a procedural approach – thanks to suggestions of procedures taking the offender’s psyche into account. In the end, imputability seems to play a major part in the organization of a balanced cohabitation with the concept of dangerousness, by condemning a strictly hypothetical consideration of dangerousness, without excluding a potential reservation after the penalty.

Gender a média v éře postmodernity: Odkrývání genderových stereotypů v současném českém reklamním diskurzu / Gender and Media in the Age of Post-Modernity: Revealing Gender Stereotypes in the Contemporary Czech Advertising Discourse

Olbertová, Martina January 2011 (has links)
ENGLISH SUMMARY The main objective of this thesis was to provide a complex perspective on the mutual relationship of gender and media in the age of post-modernity with a special attention to the stereotypical gender portrayal presented to us by the contemporary Czech advertising discourse. We chose to demonstrate this problematics through the methods of semiotic analysis on the analytical sample of 5 advertisements (consisting of selected TV commercials) representing various aspects of stereotypical gender images appearing in the today's Czech advertising contents. We then subjected these selected advertisements to the analytical methods in pursuit of finding the answers to the questions related to the media image of men, women and our society that the stereotypical gender depictions contained in these advertisements help to construct. Although many of these advertisements appear to be openly sexist or even misogynic on the first sight, using the mechanisms of semiotic analysis we came to a rather opposite conclusion proposing the analyzed contents are rather pro-feminine tending toward an extensive masculine critique. This result, however, is based mainly on the mechanisms of oppositional reading of the subjected texts. On the other hand, it is presumable that the "average media consumer" not having access...

Divine authority and covenant community in contemporary culture

Billingham, John January 2014 (has links)
The question I address is: how might a theology of authority be conceived in the light of questions raised by what is termed 'post-modernity'? Is it possible to articulate a theology of authority coming to the church community 'from God' that avoids an oppressive and alienating heteronomy? The thesis explores the question of authority as of vital importance in the sociological dimension of religion, calling for legitimisation (in light of claims made for itself) and as obligatory in the theological sphere. For this reason the project involves two methodologies (theological and sociological/ethnographic). While this investigation is relevant to all sections of the Christian church, particular attention is paid to Baptist churches in the UK, since they hold a concept in their tradition that I suggest is valuable in answering the question of the thesis, namely that of covenant. Within the Christian tradition there is an inner 'problematic' relating the personal authority of Christ to the forms of institution (church) and text (scripture). I explore this with a brief survey of theological authority as found in the fourfold foundation of scripture, tradition, reason and experience. From this is developed a brief theological and Christological reflection on divine authority and covenant theology as found in Karl Barth and his response to the 'inner problematic'. Within contemporary culture I view authority through the lens of so-called 'postmodernism', identifying four challenges to the notion of 'external authority' (all of which exemplify a move from the external to internal, and objective to subjective approaches to authority). This is further explored by means of qualitative research with one-to-one interviews conducted in a Baptist church in York. This data is reflected upon by means of ethnography and 'judicious narratives', especially in dialogue with material from Guest ('congregational study'), Heelas and Woodhead ('subjectivised-self') and Healy ('theodramatic horizon' and 'practical-prophetic ecclesiology'), providing an intersection between the language of theology and sociology. The concept of church as covenant community is explored in Baptist and (more briefly) Anglican traditions, leading to a constructive proposal that both the inner-church 'problematic' and the 'postmodern' challenge to authority might begin to be resolved with the notion of covenant. It is within this context of relationship, human and divine, that the authoritative and revelatory Word of God, the story that is Christ, is found in community and praxis. Here is a 'triangulating' relationship between authority, story and covenant revealing divine authority in a non-coercive way and relevant to contemporary culture.
