341	La perception de la Nature dans Le Roman de Tristan et Iseut : Étude écocritique comparative entre la composition de Joseph Bédier et ses sources médiévales Hedenmalm, Li January 2019 (has links) Ce mémoire est une analyse comparative écocritique entre Le Roman de Tristan et Iseut, composé par Joseph Bédier en 1900, et ses sources médiévales principales : les poèmes du XIIIe siècle de Béroul, de Thomas d’Angleterre, d’Eilhart d’Oberg et de Gottfried de Strasbourg. L’objectif principal de notre étude est de chercher à savoir si la perception de la Nature dans le roman de Bédier diffère de celle des textes médiévaux. Pour atteindre ce but, nous dirigeons notre attention sur les descriptions des paysages sauvages et sur les épisodes où les forces de la Nature semblent influencer le déroulement des évènements du récit. Nous analysons ces passages, et nous les comparons avec les descriptions correspondantes tirées des sources de Bédier. Nos résultats montrent que, même si la représentation de la Nature est chez Bédier loin d’être unilatérale, elle témoigne généralement d’une vue plus positive de la nature sauvage par rapport aux textes médiévaux. De ce fait, le roman de Bédier s’éloigne de la tradition médiévale, qui consiste à voir les environnements sauvages comme étant inhospitaliers et périlleux, et s’approche plutôt de la tradition romantique qui célèbre les merveilles de la Nature. / This essay is a comparative ecocritical analysis of The Romance of Tristan and Iseult, composed by Joseph Bédier in 1900, and its principal medieval sources: the thirteenth-century poems of Béroul, Thomas of Britain, Eilhart von Oberge and Gottfried von Strassburg. The overall aim of the study is to investigate how the perception of Nature in Bédier’s work differs from that in the medieval texts. To meet this aim, we turn to the textual descriptions of wild landscapes and the episodes where the forces of Nature seem to have a powerful influence on the unfolding of the events in the story. These passages are analysed and compared with the corresponding descriptions in Bédier’s sources. Our results show that, while Bédier’s portrayal of Nature is by no means one-sided, it generally displays a more positive view of Nature and wilderness than the medieval texts. In this regard, Bédier’s novel moves away from the medieval tradition of imagining wild environments as inhospitable and perilous and approaches the romantic tradition of celebrating the wonders of Nature.

343	Can mindfulness enhance connectedness with nature? The case of in-depth nature experiences with adolescents McCloskey, Jake A. 03 May 2018 (has links) This thesis is an exploratory look into the use of mindfulness practice on in-depth nature experiences to determine if the practice has benefit to the participant, their outdoor experience, and overall connectedness with nature. An original research project examined three groups of adolescents from St. Michaels University School Outdoor Education program in Victoria, BC, Canada, as they hiked the Juan de Fuca trail. Two of the three groups undertook a simple mindfulness protocol to explore the outcomes. Based on participant-observation and interviews, mindfulness practice was determined to be a useful practice towards alleviating stress and anxiety associated with aspects of in-depth outdoor experiences, such as morning preparations. Participants who practiced mindfulness on the trip asked fewer questions about the future and remained present more often than those who did not practice mindfulness. A further finding was that there are aspects of mindfulness inherent in in-depth nature experiences, such as sitting around a fire. These inherent mindfulness moments should be encouraged as they provide benefit to trip experiences, and potentially towards greater connectedness with nature. Overall, this qualitative study suggests that mindfulness is a useful tool for the benefit of human well-being and nature connection. However, more research is needed to further identify the magnitude and mechanisms of the benefit. / Graduate mindfulness meditation sit spot mindfulness practice nature nature experience nature connection connectedness with nature human/nature connection nature association association with nature CWN nature affiliation biophilia nature deficit disorder attention restoration theory biophilia hypothesis psycho-evolutionary theory adolescent outdoor education nature education wilderness therapy adventure therapy qualitative nature experience in-depth nature experience stress-reduction anxiety reduction campfire hiking backcountry outdoor outdoors nature Mindfulness-based stress reduction MBSR
344	The Third World evangelical missiology of Orlando E. Costas Tippner, Jeffrey E. January 2013 (has links) This thesis examines the missiological writings of Orlando E. Costas (1943-1987), particularly The Church and Its Mission: A Shattering Critique from the Third World (1974); Theology of the Crossroads in Contemporary Latin America (1976); Christ Outside the Gate (1982); and Liberating News: A Theology of Contextual Evangelization (1989). From the early 1970s until his death in 1987 he wrote over 130 articles and 12 books in both Spanish and English that addressed key missiological concerns. A careful reading of a selection of Costas's texts oriented around a hymn, a gospel song, a psalm, and a poem provides the shape of this thesis. This thesis argues that Costas formulated a Third World evangelical missiology. Chapter one investigates what Costas's autobiographical material expressed about his positions on conversion, Protestant evangelicalism, missiology, and those living on the ‘periphery' of life. Chapter two recognises his commitment to the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean in particular and the Third World in general. Chapter three explores Costas's analysis of the Latin American Protestant Church in a revolutionary situation in the continent and chapter four examines his survey and critical appraisal of Latin American liberation theology. Chapter five recognizes the pastoral shape of Costas's missiology. Chapter six explores his critical interaction with two more conservative evangelical missiological positions, the Church Growth Movement and Peter Beyerhaus and the Frankfurt Declaration, and chapter seven surveys the discussion within the international evangelical community regarding the relationship between evangelism and social responsibility. Chapter eight examines Costas's Liberating News as an expression of Third World evangelical missiology. Chapter nine considers the theological issue of penal substitutionary atonement and his missiology. The thesis concludes with an appraisal of the issues and contributions of Costas's Third World evangelical missiology to current missiological discussion. 269.2
