À la suite d'Agrippa, maint sceptique a argué de la pluralité des systèmes pour ruiner toute ambition de vérité philosophique : des systèmes contradictoires ne pouvant être vrais simultanément, leurs prétentions respectives s'annulent. L'argument n'a pourtant de valeur que si la pluralité des systèmes est elle-même irrationnelle. Or plusieurs philosophes ont rationalisé la diversité des systèmes philosophiques, suggérant par là que la raison puisse s'approprier sa propre limite ; notamment Kant, dans l'" Histoire de la raison pure " qui conclut la Critique de la raison pure (1781) ; Hegel, dans les Leçons sur l'histoire de la philosophie (1805-1830) ; Victor Cousin, dans Du Vrai, du beau et du bien (1828) et l'Histoire générale de la philosophie (1863) ; Charles Renouvier, dans l'Esquisse d'une classification systématique des doctrines philosophiques (1885-1886) ; et Jules Vuillemin, dans Nécessité ou contingence (1984).Étudier de manière interne chacune de ces entreprises permet de déterminer quels en sont les critères fondamentaux, la forme mathématique générale, et le but philosophique. L'histoire kantienne de la raison pure, injustement dédaignée, repose sur les concepts fondamentaux du criticisme, structure maint chapitre des trois Critiques, et annonce la paix philosophique perpétuelle dont est porteur le criticisme. Les Leçons de Hegel ne sont ni un résumé empirique ni une histoire biaisée de la philosophie : fondées sur la Logique et la Phénoménologie, elles mettent au jour la dialectique interne des systèmes. La classification de Renouvier n'est pas, comme on le dit parfois, a posteriori, mais repose au contraire sur le jeu a priori d'une table des catégories et d'une théorie de la contradiction. Enfin, la classification vuilleminienne des systèmes, qui s'appuie sur une classification des formes de prédication, généralise la classification kantienne. Seule la classification de Victor Cousin s'avère finalement a posteriori.Ancrées dans les concepts fondamentaux de chacune de ces doctrines, ces classifications montrent qu'un système peut construire l'image des autres et de leurs relations aussi rigoureusement qu'il décrit le monde : les relations entre systèmes ne sont pas moins structurales que les systèmes eux-mêmes.

Using an analysis of the creation of the character Dan Kelly in my play, risk, I argue that fairytale characters work as more than personage representations. They function on a big canvas for the audience; they carry large chains of association. Given this, I then propose that the human response is to infer additional meaning, meaning beyond the scope of plot and immediate character interaction - the audience infers symbolic meaning, ‘amplifying’ what is there into more. They enter a ‘generative empty space’ within the play where they infer or ‘unfold’ more meaning. In creating this ‘greater tale’, they are engaged beyond their personal ‘horizon of understanding’, and so, ‘take in’ the work through a heightened perceptual acuity. Therefore, I pursued the idea of making space for the operation of this process, of leveraging the creation of meaning around a character. My inquiry led me to believe that a powerful way to do this was through absence rather than presence and silence rather than sound; and this had a profound impact on my choice of form for Dan Kelly: he progressed, through a number of stages, from reportage to a digital representation.

Registered nurses are exposed to the risk of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and contracting the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Qualitative phenomenological research was conducted to explore registered nurses' experiences of working in such a high-risk environment and how their experiences influence the therapeutic relationship. A sample of registered nurses who care for HIV-infected persons or persons who suffer from AIDS was purposefully selected. Focus group interviews were conducted. Qualitative data analysis was performed. Frankl's theory of meaning of life served as a theoretical foundation for interpreting the research findings. The research results revealed that registered nurses experience existential frustration due to the intentional and unintentional risks that they are exposed to. This negatively impacts upon their ability to maintain a healthy therapeutic relationship with patients. However, evidence was obtained indicating that some factors support their quest for finding meaning in life in the workplace. / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo central demonstrar, por meio da análise da discografia do compositor e intérprete chileno Víctor Jara, e, mais especificamente, de seu disco La Población, que a subjugação dos movimentos populares, já no imediato pós-golpe civilmilitar chileno de 11 de setembro de 1973, foi tão ou mais importante do que a dos canais propriamente políticos, explicitados na Unidad Popular e no governo de Salvador Allende. Decorrente deste problema geral, verificam-se os mecanismos de Terror de Estado adotados na primeira fase da ditadura chilena (11 de setembro a 31 de dezembro de 1973), apontando seus desdobramentos no marco legal e institucional e atentando para os efeitos de tais medidas na desestruturação dos movimentos populares de então. A partir disso é possível apreender o antagonismo existente entre a visão de mundo que se impôs no Chile a partir do golpe de Estado e a vida e obra deste artista, concluindo que sua execução no Estadio Chile insere-se nos mecanismos centrados no terror como “exemplo” aos setores que apoiavam ou se identificavam com o governo da Unidad Popular. / The aim of this work is to demonstrate, through analysis of the discography of the composer and singer Víctor Jara, Chile, particularly the disc La Población, that the subjugation of popular movements, since the immediate post-coup Chilean civil-military September 11, 1973, was equally or more important than the proper political channels as detailed in the Unidad Popular, and the government of Salvador Allende. Resulting from this general problem, there are the mechanisms of State Terror adopted in the first phase of the Chilean dictatorship (September 11 to December 31, 1973), pointing to its consequences on the legal and institutional framework and paying attention to the effects of such measures on disruption of people's movements. From this we can understand the antagonism between the world idea that prevailed in Chile after the coup and the life and work of Victor Jara, Suggesting that his execution at the Estadio Chile is part of the terror mechanisms as "an example" to the sectors that supported or identified with the government of the Unidad Popular.

The study unpacked the meaning and the value of intonjane in traditional Xhosa communities. It also provides a critical analysis and interpretation of the intonjane custom and in particular its impact on the upbringing of a Xhosa traditional girl child. It investigates the value of this practice, especially in relation to where it is still being performed, even in our modern times. I researched closely into all aspects of how the girls were brought up, and with what social values. The data collection has been conducted through interviews with the Philakukuzenzela group when they were in Grahamstown Art Festival in July 2011 who come from a place called Centuli, and other people (abaThembu) who practice and have knowledge of the different aspects of the intonjane process and observation during the actual ceremonies in O. R. Thambo district, and in Gemvale near Port St Johns in the Province of the Eastern Cape. Interviews were conducted in Xhosa and translated into English. This Visual Narrative investigates and contributes to the debate regarding the value of traditional African thought and how it can enrich our contemporary belief system. The objective was to investigate the essence and merit of the knowledge imparted by elderly women to young girls during the initiation period of intonjane within Xhosa traditional communities. This study provides a foundation and springboard for my practical artworks which utilized symbols and metaphors to express my understanding of the important events and stages associated with this traditional ceremony. Clay medium was used as the medium of expression, applying different techniques such as throwing, press mold, slab building, coiling, engraving, sewing and inlaying, with press mold being the main technique utilized. My artworks are of three different types, which are symbolic of the three aspects or stages, of liminality, namely: pre-liminal, liminal and post-liminal. / Art history, Visual arts and Musicology / M.A. (Visual Arts)

Atonement theories have great implications for the soteriological paradigms associated with them, but their significance has not always been recognized in the formulation of theological systems, the lack of dogmatic definition by ecumenical council encouraging diversification and isolation from other doctrinal loci. The strongest coherence between an atonement model and soteriology can be seen in the reformed tradition, and its theory of penal substitution has become the standard accepted by many non-reformed protestant groups, including classical pentecostalism. Tensions persist in the theological system of pentecostalism because of its pairing of penal substitution with the soteriological paradigm of its foundational symbol of faith, the full gospel of Jesus as savior, sanctifier, baptizer with the Spirit, healer, and coming king. This vision of salvation is broader than that of protestant orthodoxy, which through its atonement theory deleteriously separates the death of Christ from his work in life and strictly limits the subjects and nature of salvation, specifically to addressal of elect individuals’ sins. It is proposed that this tension within the pentecostal system be relieved not through a reduction of its soteriology but a retrieval of the Christus victor model, the atonement theory of the ancient and Eastern church. As reintroduced to the Western church by G. Aulén, this model interprets the saving work of Christ along two lines: recapitulation, the summing up and saving of humanity via the incarnation, and ransom, the deliverance of humanity from the hostile powers holding it in bondage. In a contemporary, pentecostal appropriation of this model, aid is taken from K. Barth’s concept of nothingness to partially demythologize the cosmic conflict of the Bible, and pentecostalism reinvigorates the Eastern paradigm of salvation as theosis or Christification via the expectation of the replication of Christ’s ministry in the Christian. The study shows Christus victor can give a more stable base for a broader soteriology that is concerned with the holistic renewal of the human person. To demonstrate the developed model’s vigor and applicability beyond pentecostalism, the study closes by bringing it into conversation with the concerns of three contemporary theological movements. / Philosophy and Systematic Theology / D.

Elected as a privileged field of analysis, three significant films of this recent production: Casa da vovó, Cidade Desterro and Supermemórias. In common, the films deal with aspects of the lives of filmmakers, however, each in its own way, is able to mobilise unique reflections that problematize the documentary field: the dilution of boundaries between subject and object, the dialogue with the contemporary visual arts, the relationship with the city, the essayistic character, more fluid narrative as oppose a sensorimotor model, learning process that is tied to the arts. This is not a production sample of Ceara, but some artists chosen work that potentially stimulate a fruitful thinking about life and work, subjective processes, memory composition, affections. / A pesquisa se debruça sobre o documentário produzido no Ceará, na última década, cuja vida do realizador está no centro da obra. Elegemos, como campo privilegiado de análise, três obras fílmicas significativas dessa produção recente: Casa da vovó, Cidade Desterro e Supermemórias. Em comum, os filmes tratam de aspectos da vida dos realizadores, porém, cada qual, a seu modo, é capaz de mobilizar reflexões singulares que problematizam o campo do documentário: a diluição dos limites entre sujeito e objeto, o diálogo com as artes visuais contemporâneas, a relação com a cidade, o caráter ensaístico, instâncias narrativas mais fluidas que se contrapõem a um modelo sensoriomotor, influências de um processo de formação que se constitui atrelado ao campo das artes. Não se trata de uma amostragem da produção cearense e, sim, de obras escolhidas a partir do que podem potencializar de pensamento acerca da vida como obra, dos processos de subjetivação, da composição da memória, dos afetos.
