Vzkříšení a svobodná vůle z pohledu křesťanské gnóze / The Ressurection and free will from the gnostic viewKOZÁKOVÁ, Barbora January 2010 (has links)
The thesis describes the relationship between the ancient Gnosticism as we know it from the Nag Hammadi library and as it is described in the works of early church fathers and New Testament. It outlines basic topics similar to all versions of a classical cosmogenic Gnostic myth. The subject of the faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and its relationship to the establishing a Church structure is discussed. Another topic is the problem of human free will and that of good and evil and its consequences for human morale. The ways of different understanding to it are presented, based on Old Testament story of Adam and Eve as reffered to in the book of Genesis.

Educação e preceitos da fé : o Colégio do Salvador (Aracaju/SE, 1935-1959)Silva, France Robertson Pereira da 02 May 2016 (has links)
The brazilian education, between the decades 1930 and 1940, experienced several transformations, for example the expansion of elementary school and secondary school, associated with the expansion of private schools. In this context, the Colégio do Salvador was founded, an elementary teaching institution administered by women, members of a catholic family originating from the city of Santo Amaro da Purificação, in Bahia, who developed educational processes based on their faith. This thesis aimed to analyse the process of foundation and operation of the first twenty-four years of the school, located in the city of Aracaju - Sergipe. The theoretical framework of the our research starts in 1935, when the Colégio do Salvador was founded, until 1959, when the institution started to offer the secondary education in its first class, like this, our study focused particular attention in the School Culture and School Material Culture. For this research were used: newspapers and magazines of that time; sources and archives of the school; interviews with former students, teachers and principals; photographs; record books among others, and also bibliographic research. As categories of analysis we prioritize: History (LE GOFF, 2003); Memory (LE GOFF, 2003; HALBWACHS, 2006; BOSI, 2013); School Culture (JULIA, 2001). We expect with this study contribute to the education history in Sergipe. / A educação brasileira, entre as décadas de 1930 e 1940, passou por várias transformações, a exemplo da expansão do ensino primário e ginasial, associado à ampliação das escolas privadas. Nesse contexto, foi fundado o Colégio do Salvador, instituição de ensino primário, administrado por mulheres, membros de uma família católica, oriunda da cidade de Santo Amaro da Purificação, no interior da Bahia, na qual, desenvolveram processos educativos baseados na fé que professavam. Esta dissertação teve como objetivo analisar o processo de criação e o funcionamento dos primeiros vinte e quatro anos desse colégio, localizado na cidade de Aracaju-SE. O marco que delimita a nossa pesquisa inicia-se no ano de 1935, data da sua fundação, até 1959, quando o Colégio passa a oferecer o curso ginasial. Conferindo suporte a esse estudo, enfocamos a Cultura Escolar e a Cultura Material Escolar, subsídios importantes que serviram para mostrar a relevância desse colégio no período estudado. Para a realização desta investigação utilizamos: jornais e revistas da época; fontes e arquivos existentes no Colégio; entrevistas com ex-alunos, ex-professores e diretores; fotografias; cadernetas, entre outros, além de pesquisa bibliográfica. Como categorias de análises priorizamos: História (LE GOFF, 2003); Memória (LE GOFF, 2003; HALBWACHS, 2006; BOSI, 2013); Cultura Escolar (JULIA, 2001). Espera-se, com esse estudo, contribuir com a historiografia educacional sergipana.

”Den vita volontärens börda” : En kritisk diskursanalys av svenska volontärresebyråers framställning av mottagare och volontärer / The White Volunteer´s burden : a critical discourse analysis of Swedish volunteer travel agencies'descriptions of recipients and volunteersPlöen, Johanna January 2021 (has links)
This study critically examine what discourses are found on five websites of Swedish volunteer travel agencies and whether they reflect postcolonial and racialized structures between the global north and the global south. Thus, the study aims to focus on the relationship between whites and non-whites to shed light on potential unequal racial power relations. Furthermore, the portrayal of the volunteers and recipients has been analyzed in accordance with van Dijk's critical discourse analysis, inspired by intragroup discourse about others. The study identified three overarching discourses, discourses about the representation of the recipients, discourses about the representation of the volunteers and discourses about the representation of the countries. The result identified an unequal power relationship characterized by colonial and racial logics. A postcolonial distinction between “us and them” was demonstrated through the ways the volunteer was presented as superior to the inferior recipient. Furthermore, this study shows through analysis of the With Savior Industrial Complex, that the recipients' needs where emphasized to recruit inexperienced volunteers. Thusly, showing that the travel agencies benefit from the notion that the recipients in the global south needs “the white savior”.

The Castle/Nikki Heat Phenomenon: A Detailed Examination of Female Representation in Entertainment MediaSkinner, Katharine Virginia 12 1900 (has links)
As entertainment reflects a culture's ideology, it is important for researchers to study its messages and subsequently its potential meanings. Entertainment has the power to inform and persuade, creating models for behavior with which the public interacts. The entertainment texts for the purpose of this study are the Castle television series and the Nikki Heat novels. Together, they create a unique multi-layer fictional world. By using postmodern, feminist, communication, and entertainment theories, the results of this study provide a tightly focused lens which views a narrow aspect of entertainment media. Each text was thoroughly examined using textual analysis, Feminist Poststructuralist Discourse Analysis, and conversation analysis. Contrary to expectations, the results indicated that the Castle and Nikki Heat texts support hegemonic ideology, particularly through the use of exaggerated stereotypes, strict gender roles, imagery, and narrative choices that help perpetuate rape culture. The discussion outlines how these results can be interpreted through the dominant messages presented in the texts. This research is intended to serve as a foundation for future research regarding entertainment media.

Decolonizing mission partnerships: evolving collaboration between United Merthodists in North Katanga and the United States of AmericaDenyer, Taylor W. 12 1900 (has links)
This thesis asks “What would a decolonized partnership look like between North Katangan and American United Methodists?” Guided by the 7-point mission praxis matrix developed in the missiology department at the University of South Africa, it explores a series of subquestions. First, the terms “mission,” “partnership,” and “decolonize” are defined, and literature applicable to these concepts is discussed. In Chapter 3, the historical relational power structures and culture of the Luba and Lunda Kingdoms are summarized. Chapter 4 provides a historical overview of American and North Katangan United Methodist (UM) collaborations and describes the dominant relational dynamics and mission models of each time period. This chapter draws heavily from memoirs, reports, and articles published by United Methodist agencies. Chapter 5 explores the psycho-affective dimension of these interactions, focusing on identifying issues of guilt, shame, grief, trauma, and racial biases at play. Chapter 6 documents the responses to in-depth interviews with North Katangan UMs and American collaborators about their memories and beliefs about a twenty-year period (approx. 1994-2014), during which a shift took place in the how North Katangan (DR Congo) church leaders viewed their own capacities relative to those of the American United Methodists they encountered. The final section compares the theological reflections of interview participants, explores the ways in which Methodist doctrine and praxis can be used in furthering the decolonization and healing process through the partnerships, and explores pathways forward. The interviews conducted reveal areas of tension in the partnership, differing missiologies (e.g. mission as outreach vs. mission as relationship), and visions of the future of the partnership. The responses show that the partnership is currently on a trajectory towards decolonization, but that more needs to be done in the areas of healing and self-awareness--both on the individual and collective level. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D.

The Medieval Reception of Firdausī's Shāhnāma: The Ardashīr Cycle as a Mirror for PrincesAskari, Nasrin 02 August 2013 (has links)
Based on a broad survey of the reception of Firdausī’s Shāhnāma in medieval times, this dissertation argues that Firdausī’s oeuvre was primarily perceived as a book of wisdom and advice for kings and courtly élites. The medieval reception of the Shāhnāma is clearly manifested in the comments of medieval authors about Firdausī and his work, and in their use of the Shāhnāma in the composition of their own works. The production of ikhtiyārāt-i Shāhnāmas (selections from the Shāhnāma) in medieval times and the remarkable attention of the authors of mirrors for princes to Firdausī’s opus are particularly illuminating in this regard.
The survey is complemented by a close textual reading of the Ardashīr cycle in the Shāhnāma in comparison with other medieval historical accounts about Ardashīr, in order to illustrate how history in the Shāhnāma is reduced to only a framework for the presentation of ideas and ideals of kingship. Based on ancient Persian beliefs regarding the ideal state of the world, I argue that Ardashīr in the Shāhnāma is represented as a Saviour of the world. Within this context, I offer new interpretations of the symbolic tale of Ardashīr’s fight against a giant worm, and explain why the idea of the union of kingship and religion, a major topic in almost all medieval Persian mirrors for princes, has often been attributed to Ardashīr. Finally, I compare the Ardashīr cycle in the Shāhnāma with nine medieval Persian mirrors for princes to demonstrate that the ethico-political concepts contained in them, as well as the portrayal of Ardashīr, remain more or less the same in all these works.
Study of the Shāhnāma as a mirror for princes, as this study shows, not only reveals the meaning of its symbolic tales, but also sheds light on the pre-Islamic roots of some of the ethico-political concepts presented in the medieval Perso-Islamic literature of wisdom and advice for kings and courtiers.
