Abstract:

Negative attitudes towards atheists are hardly a new trend in our society. However, given the pervasiveness of the prejudices and the lack of foundation for them, it seems warranted to explore the underlying elements of these attitudes. Identifying these constitutive elements may help pick apart the different contributing factors and perhaps mitigate or at least understand them in the future. The present study was designed to identify which myths or stereotypes about atheists are most influential in these attitudes. A Lexical Decision Task was utilized to identify which words related to popular stereotypes are most related to the label atheists. The labels Atheists, Christians, and Students were compared to positive words, negatives words, words or interests, neutral words, and non-word strings. Analyses revealed no significant differences among the participants' reaction times in these various comparisons, regardless of religion, level of belief in god, level of spirituality, or being acquainted with atheists. Possible explanations for these results are discussed in this thesis.

Abstract:

This study examines secular mommy bloggers, a group of women who blog about the difficulties of being a nonbeliever parent in a predominantly religious society. In this study, I explore the rhetorical dimensions of four separate blogs by investigating how each mother builds identity within her personal blog and how her sense of identity enables her to construct individual ethos. Furthermore, I illustrate how the individual ethos of each blogger contributes to a group ethos representing the entire secular parenting community. Ultimately, I show how these mothers rhetorically set themselves apart from other nonbeliever/secular groups.

Abstract:

A museum on a historical site that follows the history and evolution of the city of Athens by exploring the underground levels while creating cultural and leisure spaces for the community on its ground floor. Several pavilions on the ground floor with references on classical architecture act as connectors between past and present; Some of those pavilions house activities for the community and some act as vertical circulation and light shafts between today (park level) and history (underground). Both past and present are incorporated into a both vertical and horizontal journey from light-towards darkness-towards light.

Full text

Abstract:

Public and private actors have suggested using the community land trust (CLT) model as a remedy for a number of housing related issues. This is based primarily upon the documented successes of CLT homeownership programs. Some caution that the growth of CLTs and the increased use of the CLT model beyond homeownership may stretch organizations beyond their capacity or force them to consider how to provide stewardship and community control. The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) has been used by a handful of CLTs and there are reasons to believe that more CLTs may utilize it in the future. This thesis explores the opportunities and challenges that using LIHTC may present for CLTs through case studies with two different types of organizations--a grassroots CLT in Athens, GA and a nonprofit housing developer with a CLT program in Park City, UT--that have used it as a funding source.

Thesis, KTH, Skolan för arkitektur och samhällsbyggnad (ABE), 2020. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-279999.

Full text

Abstract:

Food and City Project is about investigating the role of the food cycle and the food dependencies from the periphery that appear in contemporary city centers. Food as a multidimensional network can have a significant impact spatially, by mapping the food miles that the food is traveling, in terms of values when there is knowledge about the value of the product that is consumed. Also, socially by highlighting important social issues such as inequalities, public health or diet issues, and environmentally, through climate change or resource depletion. Therefore, food can create new geographies by changing relations between cities with different scales and their food provisioning systems. The case study of this project is Athens, in Greece which is 0% food self-sufficient and that makes it dependent on the region of Attica or other regions which shifts the problem to the city-region scale. To be more specific, the food cycle in this project includes the investigation of the networks-flows and provides solutions for new production scapes, new consumption spaces, distribution flows, and waste management, at the regional, municipal, and local levels. Elaionas, an area only 2 km away from the Acropolis hill, an almost deprived and partially abandoned area with some cores of residential and industrial units but with many significant elements and potentialities, is being transformed into a new production site. Taking back his historical character as agricultural land but enhanced with different qualities (multi-scale production sites that perform as public spaces, circularity of the system) and involvements of different actors, becomes a complementary centrality of the periurban which acts internally but also has an external impact on the city.

Abstract:

A presente dissertação procura narrar, testemunhar e dar a conhecer quem foram os 38 mártires da Albânia, beatificados em 2016, bispos, sacerdotes diocesanos e religiosos, um sacerdote ortodoxo, um seminarista, uma postulante e três leigos, e a forma do seu martírio tendo como fonte a obra do Padre Zef Pllumi, Vive somente para contar. O estudo não se limita aos 38 mártires, mas evoca tantos outros mártires e confessores, em sentido estrito e alargado, que professaram a sua fé na Albânia sob o regime comunista, entre os anos 40 a 90 do século XX. A partir destes “testemunhos” pretendemos recolher as linhas mestras de uma teologia do martírio para os dias de hoje, em tempos em que se volta a falar de cristianofobia. Partindo do paradoxo entre uma ideologia que quis “calar” a fé e a parresia dos que teimaram confessar a fé, faremos da narração a chave de leitura e de reflexão teológica. Para isso, não podemos deixar de nos situar no contexto histórico em que os factos se desenrolam, para, num segundo momento, melhor entendermos o significado dos fatos narrados.
This master dissertation aims to show, testify, and make known who were the 38 martyrs of Albania, beatified in 2016: bishops, diocesan priests and religious, an Orthodox, a seminarian, a postulant and three laic people, and the form of their martyrdom, having as a source the work of Father Zef Pllumi, live only to tell. This study is not only limited on the 38 martyrs but it evokes so many other martyrs and confessors, in the narrow and broad sense of it, whom professed their faith in Albania under the Communist regime between the 40s and 90s of the XX century. From these "testimonies" we intend to collect the main lines of a theology of martyrdom into the present day, in times when again Christianophobia is being discussed. Starting from the paradox of an ideology that sought to "silence" the faith and parresia of those who professed to confess their faith, we will make "narration" the key of reading and theological reflection. In order to do so, we cannot fail to situate ourselves in the historical context in which the facts unfold, so, that at the next moment, we can better understand the meaning of the narrated facts.

Mustafa, Mentor. "From the ashes of atheism: the reconstitution of Bektashi religious life in postcommunist Albania." Thesis, 2015. https://hdl.handle.net/2144/15668.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is an historical and ethnographic account of the postcommunist reconstitution of Albanian Bektashi Sufi practices and community life in the aftermath of a state-based program of radical atheistic secularism. The study is based on 12 months of intensive anthropological fieldwork (9 months in 2007 and shorter research trips between 2005 and 2011) and archival research. The Bektashi Muslims were once closely associated with and supported by the Ottoman state. Since then they have suffered many reversals in fortune. The most severe attack on the Bektashi occurred in communist Albania. Public manifestations of religion and its institutions were entirely dismantled and many spiritual leaders killed or exiled. Nonetheless, survivors now claim that Bektashi devotees secretly believed in and revered the sacred shrines despite efforts by the authoritarian state to do away with all expressions of religious life. Providing both historical and cultural context, the thesis uses ethnographic fieldwork data based on observation, interviews and life histories collected from within the Bektashi community. These document and explore the group's various efforts at community building and regaining legitimacy. In particular, it describes the rebuilding of devastated Bektashi lodges (tekke), the configuration and management of sacred spaces, the ways of becoming Bektashi as reflected in conversion narratives, and the emergence of new saintly authority figures. The penultimate chapter is about religious observance, investigating in depth how the present community of leaders, followers, and guests interact within sacred spaces during pilgrimages, paying special attention to the ambiguities of spiritual authority in the postcommunist setting. The study of present-day religious observance and community building shows that despite their efforts, the Bektashi today are experiencing difficulty establishing order within their own ranks and in winning real support in Albanian society as a whole. The small gains in reclaiming lost authority and access to their now lost economic estates reflects the legacy of atheist secularism and corruption, which coincides with wide spread suspicion of authority figures, including religious authorities. Albanian postcommunist religiosity coincides with a more "Western European" pattern of secularism that is generally characterized by a much diminished level of religious observance.

Full text

Abstract:

In 'Political Atheism vs. The Divine Right of Kings,' I build on Thompson and Scrivener’s work analysing John Thelwall’s play 'The Fairy of the Lake' as a political allegory, arguing all religious symbolism in 'FL' to advance the traditionally Revolutionary thesis that “the King is not a God.” My first chapter contextualises Thelwall’s revival of 17th century radicalism during the French Revolution and its failure. My second chapter examines how Thelwall’s use of fire as a symbol discrediting the Saxons’ pagan notion of divine monarchy, also emphasises the idolatrous apotheosis of King Arthur. My third chapter deconstructs the Fairy of the Lake’s water and characterisation, and concludes her sole purpose to be to justify a Revolution beyond moral reproach. My fourth chapter traces how beer satirises Communion wine, among both pagans and Christians, in order to undermine any religion that could reinforce either divinity or the Divine Right of Kings.
A close reading of an all-but-forgotten Arthurian play as an allegory against the Divine Right of Kings.

Abstract:

American jurisprudence currently applies two incompatible validity standards to determine which laws are enforceable. The natural law tradition evaluates validity by an uncertain standard of divine law, and its methodology relies on contradictory views of human reason. Legal positivism, on the other hand, relies on a methodology that commits the analytic fallacy, separates law from its application, and produces an incomplete model of law. These incompatible standards have created a schism in American jurisprudence that impairs the delivery of justice. This dissertation therefore formulates a new standard for legal validity. This new standard rejects the uncertainties and inconsistencies inherent in natural law theory. It also rejects the narrow linguistic methodology of legal positivism. In their stead, this dissertation adopts a pragmatic methodology that develops a standard for legal validity based on actual legal experience. This approach focuses on the operations of law and its effects upon ongoing human activities, and it evaluates legal principles by applying the experimental method to the social consequences they produce. Because legal history provides a long record of past experimentation with legal principles, legal history is an essential feature of this method. This new validity standard contains three principles. The principle of reason requires legal systems to respect every subject as a rational creature with a free will. The principle of reason also requires procedural due process to protect against the punishment of the innocent and the tyranny of the majority. Legal systems that respect their subjects' status as rational creatures with free wills permit their subjects to orient their own behavior. The principle of reason therefore requires substantive due process to ensure that laws provide dependable guideposts to individuals in orienting their behavior. The principle of consent recognizes that the legitimacy of law derives from the consent of those subject to its power. Common law custom, the doctrine of stare decisis, and legislation sanctioned by the subjects' legitimate representatives all evidence consent. The principle of autonomy establishes the authority of law. Laws must wield supremacy over political rulers, and political rulers must be subject to the same laws as other citizens. Political rulers may not arbitrarily alter the law to accord to their will. Legal history demonstrates that, in the absence of a validity standard based on these principles, legal systems will not treat their subjects as ends in themselves. They will inevitably treat their subjects as mere means to other ends. Once laws do this, men have no rest from evil.
