12	ATUAÇÃO DE MULHERES EM MINISTÉRIOS PASTORAIS: REALIDADE PRESENTE EM TEXTOS Marinho, Diane Marcy de Brito 30 March 2004 (has links) Made available in DSpace on 2016-07-27T13:48:50Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Diane Marcy de B Marinho.pdf: 1548900 bytes, checksum: 87be5d34462131714634aea75da5d951 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2004-03-30 / In this research we investigated the women's protagonism in ministerial functions in biblical texts like Rm. 16,1-16 and we commented about challenges faced by women in Churches now a days, that disconsider their participation in the original Christian communities. We evidenced the need of a historical reconstruction of women in cleric positions, so today they can act in Churches with biblical back up. We identified in this investigation that women's ministerial functions stayed occult along the times because, a many times, the church did not make a critical reading of biblical texts, disregarding its androcentric and patriarchal language. To come to this conclusion, we divided this work in three chapters. In the first chapter, we presented a general vision of Apostle Paul's missionary work and we also approached social-economic aspects, Rome's politicians and religious people, trying to discover in what context of the first century the women were inserted. In the second chapter, we developed an exegesis of Rm. 16,1-16 through feminist hermeneutic to detect the ministerial functions carried out by women, with the intention of clarify the androcentric readings contrary to the full ministerial acting by women. In the third chapter, we made a historical-creative reconstruction, discussing on the influence now a days biblical texts cause in women's ministry when they are read outside their context. / Nesta pesquisa investigamos o protagonismo de mulheres em funções ministeriais em textos bíblicos como Rm 16,1-16 e comentamos a respeito de desafios enfrentados por mulheres hoje em Igrejas que desconsideram a sua participação nas comunidades cristãs originárias. Evidenciamos a necessidade de uma reconstrução da história de mulheres em cargos eclesiais, para que elas atuem hoje nas Igrejas como respaldo bíblico. Identificamos nesta investigação que, funções ministeriais de mulheres permaneceram ocultas ao longo dos tempos porque, muitas vezes, a igreja não fez uma leitura crítica de textos bíblicos, desconsiderando sua linguagem androcêntrica e patriarcal. Para chegarmos a essa conclusão, dividimos este trabalho em três capítulos. No primeiro capítulo, apresentamos uma visão geral do trabalho missionário do Apóstolo Paulo e abordamos também aspectos sócioeconômicos, políticos e religiosos de Roma, procurando averiguar em que contexto do primeiro século as mulheres estavam inseridas. No segundo, desenvolvemos uma exegese de Rm 16,1-16 por intermédio de hermenêutica feminista para detectarmos as funções ministeriais desempenhadas por mulheres, com o intuito de desmistificar as leituras androcêntricas contrárias ao pleno desempenho ministerial de mulheres. No terceiro capítulo, fizemos uma reconstrução histórico-criativa, discutindo sobre a influência que textos bíblicos causam no ministério de mulheres hoje quando lidos fora de seu contexto.

13	A representação do \"discreto\": a filha do comendador em el burlador de Sevilla / The representation of \"discrete\": the commandor\'s daughter in el burlador de Sevilla Luciano, Fabio 22 February 2011 (has links) Tomando como referenciais teóricos e críticos autores como Aristóteles, Lope de Vega, Porqueras Mayo, Jaime Cortesão e João Adolfo Hansen e levando em conta os principais aspectos culturais da sociedade espanhola do século XVII, este trabalho tem seu foco de interesse na personagem Dona Ana de Ulloa, Filha do Comendador em El Burlador de Sevilla, que é arrebatada por Dom Juan. Buscou-se entender como o modo de ser discreto se articulava na corte espanhola da época, tentando esclarecer as motivações dessa atitude nas ações da Filha, pois será através dessa poética da moralidade que ocorrerá, ao final da ação dramática, o restabelecimento da ordem social. Para a compreensão da atitude da protagonista, procedeu-se a uma discussão, tanto no âmbito moral quanto no literário, do conceito e das conotações do termo discreto na época. A dissertação se divide em três partes. A primeira focaliza aspectos sociais, culturais e históricos da sociedade espanhola do século XVII presentes em El Burlador de Sevilla, atentando para a atitude discreta como um elemento que diferencia Dona Ana das outras personagens femininas da peça. A segunda procura destacar a Filha do Comendador, interpretando-a pela atitude incisiva e mostrando como ela se choca com o perfil de mulher predominante na época, ou seja, aquela que em geral era tratada pelos homens como objeto e apreciada por sua beleza, sua nobreza e seu preparo para o casamento. Já a terceira parte centra-se no relacionamento entre Dona Ana e as personagens masculinas, no que ressalta a questão da representação do querer e do poder, provocando o desencadeamento de uma dupla justiça: a terrena, posta nas mãos do Rei e reafirmada pela atuação do Comendador, e a divina, que acaba por sugerir um ideal de liberdade católico, personificado no Convidado de Pedra. Assim, a protagonista se debaterá entre preceitos relacionados ora a uma justiça dos homens, ora a uma justiça de Deus. As considerações finais amarram essas análises, concluindo pela universalidade da personagem feminina representada por Dona Ana, que é recriada em autores de diversas tradições culturais, bem como de épocas distintas. / Using as theoretical and critical references authors like Aristotle, Lope de Vega, Porqueras Mayo, Adolfo Jaime and John Hansen and taking into account the main cultural aspects of the Spanish society during the seventeenth century, this work focuses on the character of Dona Ana Ulloa, daughter of the Commendator in El Burlador de Sevilla, a lady who is seduced and carried out by Don Juan. Its purpose was to understand how the concept of discreet was sustained in the Spanish court at that time, trying to clarify the motivations of this attitude in the protagonists actions, once the social order will be restored through this kind of morality poetics at the end of the dramatic action. For the understanding of the main characters attitude, a discussion both morally and literarily was carried out about the concepts and also the connotations of the word discreet at that age. This work is divided into three parts. The first one focuses on social, cultural, and historic aspects of the Spanish society during the 17th Century that are present in El Burlador de Sevilla, being alert to the discreet as the aspect that differentiates Dona Ana from the other female characters in the play. The second one tries to detach the Commendators daughter, interpreting her through her incisive attitude and showing how she conflicts with the predominant female profile at that epoch, that is to say, the woman who was treated as an object by men and appreciated because of her beauty, her nobility, and her readiness for marriage. Finally, the third part deals with the relationship between Dona Ana and the male characters, through which arises the problem of the representation of wanting and being allowed to, resulting in a double justice: a terrestrial one, administered by the King and reaffirmed by the role of the Commendator; and a divine one, a kind of justice that suggests a catholic ideal of liberty which is personified in the stone guest. So, the protagonist will be struggling between precepts related to a justice of men or a justice of God. The final considerations bind these analyses and conclude for the universality of the female persona that Dona Ana represents, once she is re-created by authors from diverse cultural traditions, as well as diverse epochs.

15	Wait, I'm him now? : Identification and choice in games with more than one protagonist Siri, Åhman January 2018 (has links) This study examines correlations between player choice and identification in a multiple protagonist video game, seeking to determine whether a player’s identification with one or more player characters affects the way they make choices while playing. It discusses various definitions and types of identification as well as ways to create a successful narrative with multiple protagonists. The artefact created for the study is a text-based game with a branching narrative, where the player is required to make choices for three different characters, and a qualitative research method based on interviews with a small group of participants. The results show that players seek to identify with the player character even when there are more than one, and often use this as a basis for the choices they make, either by imagining themselves in the situation of the main character or by imagining that they are the main character. They do not usually base their choices while playing as a character on their identification or lack thereof with another, and regardless of how they made choices, most players made more or less the same ones. However, it did show that lack of identification made making choices more difficult for that character, which lessened their enjoyment of that storyline. / <p>Artefakten som användes i arbetet utvecklades i samarbete med Amanda Thim</p> video games narrative interactive story multiple protagonists identification player choice Interaction Technologies Interaktionsteknik Literary Composition Litterär gestaltning

17	Šiuolaikinis Lietuvos dokumentinis kinas: tarp realybės ir vizijos (herojus, struktūra, novatoriškumas) / Contemporary lithuanian documentary film: between reality and vision (hero, structure, innovation) Kaminskaitė, Jūratė 09 July 2011 (has links) Magistro darbo objektas – šiuolaikinis Lietuvos dokumentinis kinas. Darbo tikslas – darbo objektą išanalizuoti komunikaciniu bei kultūriniu aspektais. Pagrindiniai darbo uždaviniai – nustatyti dokumentinio filmo definiciją, ištirti dokumentinį kiną herojaus vaizdo vaidmenimis, įvardinti lietuviškų dokumentinių filmų struktūrų bei novatoriškumo tendencijas. Naudojantis kino bei fotografijos teksto kokybinės analizės metodu bei pasirinktomis komunikacijos ir kultūrų teorijomis, prieita prie išvados, kad senoji dokumentikos kaip tikrovės atspindžio definicija nebeatitinka reiškinio empirikos, todėl teikiamas naujas apibrėžimo variantas; taip pat, – kad tam tikri protagonistų vaidmenys yra būdingi tik tam tikriems dokumentikos žanrams; ir kad mūsų dokumentikos specifiką sąlygoja nacionalinis kūrėjų charakteris bei kultūrinis pagrindas. Atlikus tyrimą nustatyti trys pagrindiniai komponentai: žanrinis lietuvių dokumentinio kino laukas, jo struktūrinės sąrangos bei jame veikiančių herojų tipai. Naratyvai suskirstyti į dvi – uždarojo ir atvirojo pobūdžio struktūras. Toks struktūravimas patvirtino prielaidą, jog pasirinktas filmo naratyvas lemia vaizduojamųjų vaidmenis, jų santykį su tikrove, verbaliką. Išsiaiškinta, jog lietuvių dokumentikos kontekste tarp kitų figūruoja du žanrai: publicistika bei poetika; pirmasis jų suvokiamas sklandžiai, nes primena televizinį produktą, antrojo percepcija yra kur kas sudėtingesnė dėl nekonvencionalaus turinio, todėl jam priimti būtina speciali... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / The paper deals with the analysis of contemporary Lithuanian documentary film in the field of communication and culture theories, where “contemporary” film is considered to be made more or less in the last ten years. It analyses the object in the terms of innovation of definition, iconography of the protagonist and structures of narratives. The definition of documentary film is examined on the one hand from the journalistic point of view, characterizing it as a fact-based film that depicts actual events and persons; on the other hand, in the film theory sight it is considered to be a manipulative narration of the story, taken out of reality. A central question is if characteristics of factuality is remaining the main one talking about the documentary film, as the examples of Lithuanian poetic documentaries are far-off exposing of reality. That is why this study suggests a new definition of the object, putting a director’s role in the narrative above actual reflection of factuality: a documentary is called here a director’s viewpoint (in the case of Lithuanian poetic genre – a meditation) on the phenomena of the objective reality. Qualitative film text analysis and the communicational approaches of John Fiske, Marshall McLuhan and Jean Baudrillard’s ideas provide the theoretical framework for the study. Documentary films are analyzed as the object of science of communication. It is focused on reading the communicational codes and conventions in different genres of documentary...

19	Bloody women : a critical-creative examination of how female protagonists have transformed contemporary Scottish and Nordic crime fiction Hill, Lorna January 2017 (has links) This study will explore the role of female authors and their female protagonists in contemporary Scottish and Nordic crime fiction. Authors including Val McDermid, Denise Mina, Lin Anderson and Liza Marklund are just a few of the women who have challenged the expectation of gender in the crime fiction genre. By setting their novels in contemporary society, they reflect a range of social and political issues through the lens of a female protagonist. By closely examining the female characters, all journalists, in Val McDermid’s Lindsay Gordon series; Denise Mina’s Paddy Meehan series; Anna Smith’s books about Rosie Gilmour; and Liza Marklund’s books about Annika Bengzton, I explore the issue of gender through these writers’ perspectives and also draw parallels between their societies. I document the influence of these writers on my own practice-based research, a novel, The Invisible Chains, set in post-Referendum Scotland. The thesis will examine and define the role of the female protagonist, offer a feminist reading of contemporary crime fiction, and investigate how the rise of human trafficking, the problem of domestic abuse in Scotland and society’s changing attitudes and values are reflected in contemporary crime novels, before discussing the narrative structures and techniques employed in the writing of The Invisible Chains. This novel allows us to consider the role of women in a contemporary and progressive society where women hold many senior positions in public life and examine whether they manage successfully to challenge traditional patriarchal hierarchies. The narrative is split between journalist Megan Ross, The Girl, a victim of human trafficking, and Trudy, who is being domestically abused, thus pulling together the themes of the critical genesis in the creative work. By focusing on the protagonist, the victims and raising awareness of human trafficking and domestic abuse, The Invisible Chains, an original creative work, reflects a contemporary society’s changing attitudes, problems and values.
20	La représentation de la violence faite aux femmes dans 'Un dimanche à la piscine à Kigali' de Gil Courtemanche et 'Je m’appelle Bosnia' de Madeleine Gagnon Thach, Thida January 2014 (has links) La violence faite aux femmes est une réalité encore très présente, surtout dans les sociétés patriarcales, même après des décennies de lutte féministe. C’est aussi un thème privilégié en littérature. La présente thèse propose justement une analyse de ce thème à travers deux romans assez récents qui mettent tous deux de l’avant des aspects particuliers de la question : Un dimanche à la piscine à Kigali de Gil Courtemanche et Je m’appelle Bosnia de Madeleine Gagnon. Nous tenterons de cerner les différentes formes de violences à l’œuvre dans les deux narrations : la violence faite aux filles, celle faite aux femmes, et enfin la violence spécifique qu’engendrent les conflits armés avec le viol comme arme de guerre. Nous proposerons une analyse intersectionnelle de ces formes de violences afin de mesurer les représentations et les répercussions des notions de classe et de race eu égard aux toiles de fond différentes des deux romans : le génocide chez Courtemanche, le nettoyage ethnique chez Gagnon. Nous aborderons aussi les narrations sous l’angle de l’agentivité. Dans des sociétés fondamentalement patriarcales, quel pouvoir peuvent espérer avoir les personnages féminins sur leur destin personnel et collectif? Y a-t-il pour ces femmes fictives des stratégies possibles pour atteindre une liberté d’action, si mince soit-elle?
