This dissertation investigates whether there is a theme of future hope in Proverbs. Chapter 1 surveys scholarship on this point. Most scholars who believe Proverbs is only concerned with this present world do not read Proverbs in its canonical context. This dissertation argues that in its canonical context the Book of Proverbs functions to explain how Solomon trains the Davidic prince to be the ideal king who through wisdom - living life under the covenant - establishes an eternal, righteous kingdom in the land. The failure of Solomon's sons (the Judahite monarchy) contributes to the future hope for a Son of David who fulfills this picture. Chapter 2 analyzes debated passages in Proverbs to see if a future hope arises. It argues that there is a future hope for retaining the land (2:1-22), posterity for the Davidic line (24:13-20), and an eternal Davidic Kingdom (29:14). Chapters 3 through 5 place Proverbs in its canonical context to see if it is connected to the future hope of the Old Testament. Chapter 3 argues that Proverbs presents a similar future hope as that of the Writings, for a Davidic King who is faithful to Torah, defeats Israel's enemies, establishes Israel in the land and sets up an eternal kingdom. Chapter 4 argues that Proverbs connects with the future hope of the Torah for a king, obedience to the law with a new heart, dwelling in the land, and an eternal kingdom. Indeed, Proverbs argues that wisdom is obedience to the Torah. Chapter 5 argues that the failure of the Davidic kings to live up to the ideal of kingship in the Torah and Proverbs led to a future hope in the prophets for a king who embodied wisdom and set up an eternal dynasty. Chapter 6 concludes that Proverbs does have a future hope for a wise David who will establish an eternal kingdom in the land. The New Testament presents this as ultimately fulfilled in Jesus.

This dissertation explores the subject of gender inequalities as reflected in Zulu proverbs. The most notable examples are those proverbs that comment on the role and position of Zulu men in society, on women's behaviour, on marriage and on the morality of the Zulu society. The dissertation explores how language is used in the proverbs to help shape the behaviour of women, from childhood up till the time they assume the responsibilities belonging to omakoti (brides). This study was undertaken in order to gain greater insight and understanding into why Zulu women are expected to play a submissive role in their society, unlike their dominant male partners. The study provides a case study of Zulu proverbs so as to gain an in-depth understanding of how patriarchy is reflected through language, and how proverbs help to construct the woman's identity in Zulu society. Through the use of research participants, the dissertation concludes that Zulu proverbs about women are associated with ukuhlonipha, a custom where omakoti, once married, adopt new names for items they use on daily basis because they reflect the names or syllables of in-laws. This study adopts a qualitative research methodology. Primary data was collected through interviews and several books on proverbs, whilst secondary data was collected from a wide selection of books, theses, dissertations and journal articles. Interviews which were carefully conducted with nineteen females (thirteen females between the ages of 16 and 35, and six females over the age of 35) and fourteen males (eight males between the ages of 16 and 35, and six males over the age of 35), all who are from KwaZulu-Natal. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2010.

O assunto que alinhava esta idéia é a busca de uma genealogia para o tema em questão, tratado neste contexto como um desdobramento da paisagem com edifício, como um desenvolvimento deste gênero. Na intenção de tornar lícita a busca de uma genealogia para o conjunto de imagens escolhidas, procuro explorar tanto o desenvolvimento do tema quanto as razões retóricas deste desdobramento da paisagem, além de evidenciar afinidade das ruínas estabelecida na gravura em metal a partir de meados do século XVIII. A fim de tornar compreensível a construção de uma poética por intermédio deste tema optei por associar as referências históricas à minha produção, enunciadas por uma associação expressiva e tipológica. Desta monta a tese se encontra dividida em duas abordagens: uma de caráter particular, ou de portfólio do autor, e outra, geral, que compreende os pressupostos históricos e a análise de procedimentos técnicos associados às idéias e ao contexto em que surgiram / Abstract: In this study I consider the circumscription and analysis of my etchings and woodcuts produced between 1989 and 2011 whose model was the ruins.The subject that tacks this idea is dealt with as an unfolding the landscape with building, as a development of this theme. In the intention to become allowed the search of a genealogy for the set of chosen images, I look for a way to explore the development of the subject inside the rhetorical reasons of this expansion from the landscape, beyond evidencing affinity of the ruins established in the engraving since middle of eighteenth century. In order to become understandable the construction of a poetical project worked under this theme (the ruins) I opted to associating historical references to the portfolio, enunciated for an expression and typological association.Of this sum the thesis was divided in two boarding: one of particular character, or portfolio of the author, and another, one that I tried to understand the historical meanings, with analysis of the procedures technician, ideas and the context where they had appeared / Doutorado / Artes Visuais / Doutor em Artes
