This research explores the method and theological content in Stephen Charnock's discourses on the attributes and the existence of God with the intention to determine whether this material is structured upon the influence of the scholastic method. This is accomplished (1) by locating Charnock within his own academic and historical context and by interpreting his works according to the theological genre to which they belong, (2) by identifying the conceptual and methodological presuppositions that framed the discourses, (3) by examining and accounting for the order of exposition found in the discourses, and (4) by performing a descriptive analysis of the material seeking to identify traces of the scholastic method and style of argumentation. The findings of this investigation indicate that Charnock's discourses are theological sermons primarily intended for homiletical purposes and yet organised and reasoned per the scholastic method.

Southern Illinois University’s Department of Theater presented Children of Eden on the McLeod Theater stage in October of 2016. This Thesis is an examination of the process of designing the costumes for the production from the early play analysis, through the design, to the performances. Stephen Schwartz and John Caird’s Children of Eden is a musical exploration of the first nine chapters of the book of “Genesis.” Our production of Children of Eden focused on creating a global exploration of the familial themes. The first chapter of this document contains an in-depth analysis of this script. Chapter Two covers the designing of the show. The third chapter discusses the production process. Chapter Four offers an overview of the tech rehearsals and performances of the show. Finally, the fifth chapter examines the original goals set for myself and the execution of each goal. The visual process for each character’s design can be found in the Appendices, including rough sketches, renderings, fitting photos and production photographs.

Pressupomos que a personagem segue modelos de representação do feminino, tradicionalmente difundidos pela literatura, especialmente nas obras naturalistas, em que se elege a fallen woman como protagonista de diversas histórias de degradação e morte. Por meio do estudo feito sobre a mulher prostituta na literatura, fomos capazes de refletir a respeito da condição feminina, no século XIX, observando a incapacidade da personagem de se integrar socialmente, entre outros problemas acarretados pela vida degradada que experimenta. Moradora de cortiços, está retratada por Crane em um ambiente selvagem, nesse caso, na cidade de Nova York, em pleno desenvolvimento industrial. Apesar de ser personagem protagonista, o autor acentua o aspecto frágil e ingênuo da personagem, apresentando-a como se fosse intelectual e moralmente inferior, incapaz de atuar contra a fatalidade já predeterminada, realizando uma crítica da situação da mulher trabalhadora naquele contexto. Sabemos que o autor assume postura antagônica a de seus predecessores, românticos, e, por essa razão, caracteriza Maggie enfatizando os conceitos românticos na construção da personagem, no intuito de se opor às regras formais e ideológicas do Romantismo. A característica fundamental de Crane é a ironia presente na narrativa, em que as circunstâncias se mostram mais contraditórias revelando valores morais, do mesmo modo, conflitantes. Analisamos a representação da mulher marginal na literatura, bem como procuramos esclarecer alguns... / The thesis examines the image of the prostitute in Maggie: A Girl Of The Streets of Stephen Crane, published in 1896 focusing the concepts of feminist criticizes assumed to read and interpret the character Maggie Johnson. It reading from the female experience of interpretation, giving new meaning with this new reading. We assume that the character follows models of representation of women, traditionally widespreaded in the literature, especially in naturalistic works. They elect a fallen woman as the protagonist of several stories of degradation and death. Through the study on women prostitutes in the literature, we were able to reflect on the condition of women in the nineteenth century, noting the inability of the character to integrate socially, among other problems caused by life experiences that degraded. Resident of slums is portrayed by Crane in a wild and degrading environment, in this case, the city of New York, in full industrial development. Despite being the protagonist character, the author highlights the fragile and naive aspect of the character, presenting it as if it was morally and intellectually inferior, unable to act against the already predetermined fate, with a critical situation of working women in that context. We know that the author takes an antagonistic stance of his predecessors, romantics, and, therefore, characterizes Maggie emphasizing romantic concepts in building character, in order to oppose the ideological and formal rules of Romanticism. A key feature of Crane's irony in this story, which conditions are more revealing conflicting moral values, similarly conflicting. We analyze the representation of women in marginal literature and seek to clarify some stereotypes that served to represent the woman

Rite of passage is a term that is used widely and uncritically in the field of outdoor education. This hermeneutic research project explores how a third-generation Canadian outdoor educator explores how rites of passage are understood in outdoor education. On this hermeneutic journey I set out to provide a more complex understanding of rites of passage in outdoor education. In exploring the literature of rites of passage in outdoor education, I noticed that there is a lack of discussion on non-Indigenous practitioners’ cultural heritage and how to address the desire many practitioners have for ritual. I used Stephen Jenkinson’s texts as a foundation for the hermeneutic conversations that I had with rites of passage in outdoor education. The research journey shifted from focusing on rites of passage to how outdoor educators could build a ritual skillset. I propose five propositions of ritual that may help practitioners develop their own ritual sensibility. / Graduate

Cette etude porte sur la difficulte de la traduction culturelle et plus specifiquement sur celle de la poesie. On etudiera les problemes intrinseques de la traduction de ce type de litterature en meme temps que les insuffisances des theories traductologiques contemporaines face a ces problemes. A cette fin, on analysera la traduction du poeme «Romance sonambulo» de Federico García Lorca par Stephen Spender et Joan Lluis Gili. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)
