Full textAbstract:
Den 1 juli 2011 grips den svenska frilansjournalisten Martin Schibbye och frilansfotografen Johan Persson efter att olovligt tagit sig in i Ogaden, Etiopien tillsammans med gerillarörelsen Ogadens nationella befrielsefront (ONLF). De blir dömda för terrorbrott och för att olovligt tagit sig in i landet och de dömdes till11 års fängelse. Den 10 september 2012 benådas de och den 11 september är de tillbaka i Sverige och möts på ABF i Stockholm av jubel från journalisterna som samlats. Under den här perioden så har de gått från förövare men främst offer till att bli hjältar för det svenska folket. Den här C-uppsatsen utgår ifrån tesen att Schibbye och Persson blev hjältar på grund av mediernas rapportering av de båda samt att det fanns en process som omvandlade Schibbye och Persson från främst offer till hjältar. Genom en analys av texter från Aftonbladet och Dagens Nyheter kan man se vad det var som gjorde att de båda frilansjournalisterna framställdes som offer respektive hjältar samt när de började omvandlas från offer till hjälte. Studien visar på att det sker en förändring desto längre in i rapporteringen man kommer och desto mer man får fram fakta och man ”lär känna” Schibbye och Persson och förstår deras gärning. Anhöriga har också en stor inverkan i att de till slut blir hjältar då de skapar en emotionaliserande bild av Schibbye och Persson. Studien använder sig främst av två olika teorier inom medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap nämligen medielogik och framing. Genom att applicera de här två teorierna på rapporteringen om Schibbye och Persson kan vi förstå varför det blev som det blev. Studien är också en kvantitativ innehållsanalys, vilket innebär att ett större antal artiklar från fyra olika perioder (gripandet, rättegången, frigivningen och efter frigivningen) har kodats efter olika kategorier såsom vem som kommer till tals, hur man laddar texterna, vilken fas de båda frilansjournalisterna återfinns i samt vilket medielogiskt grepp som används. Dessa kategorier kodas då de spelar roll för hur rapporteringen av Schibbye och Persson tolkades.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this essay is to analyze the media coverage of the case with Martin Schibbye and Johan Persson in the four biggest newspapers in Sweden in order to see how social constructions is created through the use of language. It is also of interest to see how nationality is represented in the material. The theory is based on Edward Said’s theory of post colonialism and the prejudices that has developed from the western way of viewing ”The orient”. It is also based on Richard Dyers theory on whiteness and binary oppositions, which shows how ”whiteness” is viewed as the norm and is also never questioned. The method is critical linguistics and based on Norman Fairclough and Michael Halliday. The results from the method in critical linguistics shows how power is used in the media coverage of Martin Schibbye and Johan Persson. It shows how Schibbye and Persson are presented as human beings and as individuals and the other parts as foreign and unknown parts in the conflict.

Full textAbstract:
The idea to this bachelor thesis was born after carefully following the coverage of Johan Persson and Martin Schibbye in Swedish media during their imprisonment in Ethiopia from June 2011 to September 2012. Based on our interest we designed two questions to answer throughout the thesis. These are: (1) How are Johan Persson and Martin Schibbye portrayed as journalists in the discussion about them that has taken place in Swedish media? (2) How is the journalistic profession described in the discussion about Johan Persson and Martin Schibbye in Swedish media? To answer these questions we decided to analyse texts that can be defined as the genre of opinion journalism, which all came from Swedish printed media. We have chosen 16 texts to analyse which show the variety of ways to write about Persson and Schibbye in the chosen genre during the chosen period of time. Opinion journalism is what newspapers use to attract readers, as they want to supplement the news coverage with comments and analysis from “experts”. Persson and Schibbye were imprisoned in Ethiopia in June of 2011, and weren’t released until 15 months later, in September of 2012. To analyse our material we have amongst others used theories regarding social constructionism, representation, discourse, the journalistic identity and the journalistic ideals that exist in Swedish society. The method chosen to carry through our analysis is a critical discourse analysis, according to Norman Faircloughs theory and his three dimensional model concerning text, the discourse practice and the social practice. The results that came from our analysis is that Persson and Schibbye is portrayed in three ways; as journalistic heroes, victims and/or crooks. In those examples that portray Persson and Schibbye as heroes, it is not only them that are praised, but also journalism as a profession and the journalistic assignment. This is also true regarding the texts that portay Schibbye as a crook, since it is Schibbyes earlier engagement in communistic politics that is criticised, not the journalistic profession itself. Persson and Schibbye are also portrayed as victims of the Ethiopian government and abuse of power.

Full textAbstract:
Det som studeras i denna undersökning är hur morgontidningarna Dagens Nyheter och Svenska Dagbladet beskrev utrikesminister Carl Bildt kopplat till de fängslade journalisterna Martin Schibbye och Johan Persson. Syftet med undersökningen är att identifiera morgontidningarnas diskurs om Carl Bildt i de olika faserna av rapporteringen kring de fängslade svenskarna journalisterna Martin Schibbye och Johan Persson. Detta kommer att undersökas via en kritisk diskursanalys där vi kronologiskt går igenom morgontidningarnas rapportering av Bildt kopplat till Schibbye och Persson från att de fängslades till tiden efter då de var fria. Som delsyfte vill vi granska och diskutera de resultat vi kommer fram till i diskursanalysen. Detta görs för att kunna presentera och kartlägga hur de eventuellt olika diskurserna skiljer sig. Utifrån syftet och delsyftet kommer vi undersöka följande frågeställningar: Hur såg den dominerande bilden och rapporteringen om Bildt ut före respektive efter journalisternas frigivning? Samt: Skiljde sig morgontidningarnas rapportering om Bildt före respektive journalisternas frigivning, i så fall hur?Det vi kom fram till i undersökningen var att diskursen om Bildt vände i samma stund som förutsättningarna för Schibbye och Persson vände då de frigavs. Diskursen gick från negativ till positiv när fakta om Bildt och hans insats kunde utvärderas i retrospekt. Vår huvudsakliga slutsats är att Dagens Nyheter och Svenska Dagbladet i detta fall fokuserade mer på det sensationella och skandalösa nyheterna om Bildt, snarare än att vara en neutral och objektiv informationskälla.This study is covering the reports on the Swedish minister of foreign affairs Carl Bildt in the Swedish morning newspaper Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet regarding the imprisoned journalists Martin Schibbye and Johan Persson. The purpose with this thesis is to identify the discourse in these two morning newspapers about Carl Bildt in the different phases of the reports regarding the journalists Martin Schibbye and Johan Persson. This will be studied throughout a critical discourse analysis. We will cover the reports in chronological order from the date the journalists were caught to when they were free. An extension of the purpose in this study is to inspect and discuss our results. This will be done in order to see and clarify how the discourse found in the results is different from each other. This purpose is leading us to the questions: What was the dominant picture in the reporting about Carl Bildt in the different phases of the case with the imprisoned journalists? And: Did the reporting on Bildt differ from the phase before the journalists release to the phase after the release, in that case how?The main result of this study is that the discourse regarding Bildt changed the same time the conditions of Schibbye and Persson changed. The discourse went from negative to positive when facts about Bildt and his mission came to light. Our main conclusion is that these two morning newspapers in this case was focusing on the sensational and scandalous news about Bildt rather than being a neutral and objective source of information.

Syftet med denna studie är att jämföra hur Dagens Nyheter respektive Aftonbladet rapporterade om de fängslade svenska journalisterna i Etiopien. Martin Schibbye och Johan Persson greps den 1 juli 2011 i Ogadenregionen i östra Etiopien efter att illegalt ha tagit sig in i landet med hjälp av den terrorstämplade gerillan ONLF. Händelsen fick stor uppmärksamhet i svenska medier. Vi ville med vår undersökning studera om morgontidningar, i vårt fall Dagens Nyheter, tar efter kvällstidningarnas sätt att rapportera om stora händelser. Vi valde ut åtta artikelsidor eller uppslag ur de båda tidningar att analysera och formulerade följande frågeställningar: Hur presenterades nyheterna kring Johan Persson och Martin Schibbyes tillfångatagande, rättegång, dom och frigivning i Dagens Nyheter respektive Aftonbladet, i de artikelsidor och uppslag som vi valde ut? Vad finns det för likheter och skillnader i de artikelsidor och uppslag vi valt ut från Dagens Nyheter respektive Aftonbladet gällande tabloidisering? Utifrån dessa frågeställningar konstruerade vi en kvalitativ textanalys med kvantitativa inslag där vi ställde vi frågor till texterna som vi hade formulerat utifrån begreppet tabloidisering, för att undersöka om texterna var tabloidiserade. Resultatet visade att det fanns klara tendenser till tabloidsering i de sidor och uppslag vi analyserade i Dagens Nyheter. Detta resultat förklarade vi främst med tidningsbranschens ekonomiska situation. Vi fann även att det fanns stora likheter, både text- och bildmässigt i de undersökta tidningarna. Detta resultat förklarade vi huvudsakligen med medielogiken.

Full textAbstract:
John Locke claims both that ‘person' is a forensic term and that personal identity consists in sameness of consciousness. The aim of my dissertation is to explain and critically assess how Locke links his moral and legal account of personhood to his account of personal identity in terms of sameness of consciousness. My interpretation of Locke's account of persons and personal identity is embedded in Locke's sortal-dependent account of identity. Locke's sortal-dependent account of identity provides an important theoretical framework for my interpretation: It makes clear that Locke's account of personhood is to be considered separately from his account of personal identity. My approach gives full credit to Locke's claim that ‘person' is a forensic term, because I argue that persons, according to Locke, belong to a moral and legal kind of being: they are subjects of accountability. On this basis I argue that two components explain why Locke argues that personal identity consists in sameness of consciousness: firstly, his particular moral and legal conception of a person, and, secondly, his particular understanding of the conditions of just accountability and just reward and punishment. Given one accepts Locke's conception of a person and his understanding of the conditions of just accountability, it will be easy to see why Locke regards sameness of consciousness to be necessary for personal identity, but the more challenging question is whether sameness of consciousness is also sufficient. I critically assess this question by considering Locke's account of persons and personal identity within Locke's epistemological, metaphysical and religious views. I will argue that, at least from the divine perspective, the underlying ontological constitution has to be taken into consideration and that it is a verbal question whether Locke's term ‘consciousness' refers not only to phenomenologically given consciousness, but also to the underlying ontological constitution.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to examine the use of famous historical or fictional persons in place branding. It seeks to analyze the images of places that are produced, and the representations of persons that are used in branding practices. Largely this use is located within a tourist discourse, begging the question how tourists take part in the shaping of these cities. In sum, the study aims to examine constructions of the past and the present, as well as representations of gender. The main question is which parts of the history of a city are described and which sites are highlighted. Four cases studies are presented. First, the uses of the heritage connected with author Selma Lagerlöf in and around Sunne are examined, in particular her former residence, Mårbacka, now musealized. Second, Uppsala's and Småland's uses of the Carl Linnaeus heritage are surveyed. Third, the uses of inventor Johan Petter Johansson in Enköping are studied, and fourth the tourist and heritage practices around fictional police detective Kurt Wallander in Ystad are examined. Taken at face value, these examples differ from each other in many ways. The aim of the dissertation is to track these differences, but also the likenesses in practices, meaning production and visualizations. In sum, the aim of this dissertation is to examine how the productions of meaning are influenced through the use of these individuals. How do visitors influence the production on these heritage sites? Is there room for change in descriptions of persons and places? How are ideas of authenticity produced when places are viewed through one individual? What ideas of gender and masculinity are produced?

Um dos objetivos desta investigação é apresentar ao leitor o debate entre comunitaristas (holistas) e liberais individualistas (atomistas), esclarecendo os pressupostos defendidos por ambos no que diz respeito às suas visões de pessoa e sociedade. Partindo da reflexão dos elementos centrais da teoria de Rawls, nas obras A Theory of Justice (1971) e Political Liberalism (1993), nós avaliamos a plausibilidade e o grau de sustentação de sua doutrina frente aos seus mais destacados críticos no campo do comunitarismo, entre os quais, Michael Sandel e Charles Taylor, destacando suas principais objeções à obra de Rawls, mais precisamente à concepção moral de pessoa na posição original. Mostramos que a teoria da justiça como equidade é compatível com as exigências ontológicas e epistemológicas das sociedades complexas contemporâneas, afirmando que o agente moral submetido a uma situação de escolha na posição original possui a noção de senso de justiça e empatia em relação aos demais membros da sociedade. A partir da crítica feita à Rawls pelos comunitaristas, procedemos na defesa de seus pressupostos fundamentais, ou seja, na plausibilidade da complementaridade entre uma concepção deontológica e teleológica de sociedade, na qual o justo e o bem podem ser complementares, como forma de superação dos conflitos políticos proporcionando então, a pretendida estabilidade e unidade das instituições sociais. Destacamos, ainda, a importância da noção de pessoa no modelo de representação oferecido por Rawls e conhecido como “posição original” mostrando que o modelo neocontratualista de Rawls não corresponde a uma concepção abstrata ou atomizada de pessoa. O objetivo central dessa tese foi responder se nossas escolhas do que é certo ou errado se dão a partir de uma concepção naturalizada de pessoa (conhecimento inato) ou de uma concepção política de pessoa (cultural), ou, até mesmo, da complementariedade de ambas. Se confirmada a hipótese da complementariedade entre as duas concepções, estaremos aptos a dar uma resposta às críticas endereçadas a Rawls por parte dos comunitaristas, mostrando que sua teoria não é abstrata ou atomista. A partir dessas considerações, analisamos na obra Elements of Moral Cognition, de John Mikhail, sua interpretação do equilíbrio reflexivo rawlsiano e a concepção naturalizada de pessoa, que afirma que os seres humanos possuem um conhecimento inato de uma variedade de regras, conceitos e princípios morais ou até mesmo jurídicos. Na obra Why Political Liberalism? de Paul Weithman, trabalhamos uma concepção política de pessoa, dando destaque para a reformulação da teoria de Rawls a partir da obra Political Liberalism (1993) mostrando a distinção entre o conceito moral de pessoa em A Theory of Justice (1971) e em Political Liberalism (1993).
One of the objectives of this research is to present to the reader the debate between communitarians (holists) and individualistic liberals (atomists), enlightening the assumptions defended by both regarding to their visions of person and society. From the reflection of the central elements of Rawls' theory in The Theory of Justice (1971) and Political Liberalism (1993), we assessed the plausibility and sustainability of his doctrine towards his most prominent critics in the communitarianism area, among them, Michael Sandel and Charles Taylor, highlighting their main objections to Rawls's work, more precisely to the moral conception of person in the original position. We showed that the theory of justice as equity is compatible with the ontological and epistemological demands of contemporary complex societies, asserting that the moral agent when submitted to a situation of choice in the original position owns the sense of justice notion and empathy towards the other members of the society. Based on the criticism on Rawls by the communitarians, we proceeded on the defense of his fundamental assumptions, it means, in the plausibility of the complementarity between a deontological and teleological conception of society, in which the just and the good can be complementary, as a way of overcoming political conflicts, and thus providing the desired stability and unity of social institutions. We also emphasize the importance of the notion of person in the model of representation offered by Rawls and known as "original position" showing that Rawls's neocontractualist model does not correspond to an abstract or atomized conception of person. The main objective of this dissertation was to answer whether our choices of what is right or wrong come from a naturalized conception of person (innate knowledge) or from a political conception of (cultural) person, or even from the complementarity of both. If the hypothesis of complementarity between the two conceptions is confirmed, we will be able to answer those criticisms addressed to Rawls by the communitarians, showing that his theory is not abstract or atomistic. From these considerations, we analyzed the work Elements of Moral Cognition written by John Mikhail, his own interpretation of the rawlsian reflexive equilibrium and the naturalized conception of person, which states that human beings have an innate knowledge of a variety of rules, concepts, and moral principles or even legal ones. In the book Why Political Liberalism? by Paul Weithman, we worked on a political conception of person, highlighting the reformulation of Rawls's theory based on the work political Liberalism (1993), showing the distinction between the moral concept of person in A Theory of Justice (1971) and Political Liberalism (1993).

Philosophiae Doctor - PhDA political arrangement is an arrangement for persons. Political arrangements are assessed in terms of the extent to which they manage the affairs of persons, which includes protecting their interests and entitlements. Political arrangements which are unable to protect the interests of its citizens, or a group of citizens, are deemed unacceptable, and where appropriate, alternative arrangements which do protect the interests and entitlements of its citizens are sought. In this thesis I argue that the political arrangement of John Rawls is unable to protect the interests and entitlements of the severely cognitively disabled who are regarded as full citizens by advanced political arrangements in the world today. I argue that it is the contract nature and conception of the person in Rawls’s system which excludes the severely cognitively disabled. This exclusion goes against our widely-held intuitions about the rights and entitlements of the severely cognitively disabled. I look to the Person Life View of Marya Schechtman, a conception of the person that includes the severely cognitively disabled, to see if a conception of the person that includes the severely cognitively disabled is able to solve the gap in Rawls’s system. I argue that it is not able to do so. I then propose a new way of approaching questions of personhood and appeal to the Aristotelian conception of the soul as the basis, arguing that membership of a type of organism typically considered a person is enough to be a complete member of that type and therefore a person.

Full textAbstract:
Without doubt, John Rawls's A Theory of Justice is one of the most important statements of Anglo-American political philosophy in the twentieth century. Through a revival of the social contract device, Rawls formulates a set of principles of correct political association ("the right") that he argues must be considered as prior to any conception of the good. These principles apply to all persons as free and equal beings in society, but more importantly they assume some things about the nature of persons in that society. On the institutional aspect of his theory, Rawls conceives of the state as a neutral arbiter of the good. This, coupled with a conception of persons as individuals that affirm the values of autonomy and equality, has drawn extensive critical fire from philosophers within and without liberalism. One such group of critics, the communitarians, claim that Rawls's idea of the person is too abstract or "groundless" to account for shared values, and thus fails to appreciate the extent to which we understand ourselves as embedded within our culture. Michael Sandel has thus argued that Rawls's person so conceived is too abstract to be of any theoretical let alone practical use, while Alasdair Macintyre has argued that such a conception of persons is incoherent: liberal "persons" do not know themselves, and so they cannot know what is right or what is good. This thesis analyzes the liberal-communitarian debate by comparing and contrasting some terms used by both sides in the debate. By analyzing the terms, I will present a liberal conception of the person as properly understood in Rawls's theory. ' Rawls has not been idle since the publication of A Theory of Justice. He has defended his theory in a series of articles and lectures that have developed his position in response to these and other criticisms. Specifically, by positing his theory within liberal-democratic culture, by acknowledging individual formative conceptions of the good, and by emphasizing and relying upon a modus vivendi view as the basis for political liberalism and a liberal culture, Rawls has answered the communitarian objections by incorporating and responding to those pertinent criticisms. I will argue that Rawls's recent emphasis on a theory of political liberalism successfully accounts for his idea of persons because it accords with our considered moral principles, it treats persons as free and equal beings worthy of respect, and it incorporates the only coherent construction of the social embeddedness thesis to a greater degree than communitarians acknowledge or appreciate. Rawls's political liberalism thus surpasses this aspect of the communitarian critique.

Full textAbstract:
The overall aim of this thesis is to critically assess the concept of the person in Macmurray's philosophy. This exploration requires a general examination of Macmurray's published and unpublished writings owing to the lack of any full length study of his ideas. In particular, this thesis is broadly sympathetic to Macmurray's thought and seeks to reveal the relevance of its for today. Whilst certain details of his theory are contentious and inadequate, they are not beyond redemption. Religion is important for Macmurray, but he is primarily a philosopher, and the content of this thesis reflects this. In the first chapter, Macmurray's antagonism towards traditional mind-body dualism is discussed in connection with his definition of the Self as an embodied agent. It is in this sense that his concept of the person represents an holistic account of the individual. Whilst speculation surrounds Macmurray's influences, some comparisons are drawn and the ensuing criticisms are examined. As a direct result of the postulation of the Self as agent, the existence of the Other is both confirmed and deemed necessary. Chapter two explores the interaction between the Self and the Other from the perspective of the human infant. It asserts the importance of relationships for the growth of the individual. Then, with reference to the ethical implications of the related agent, chapter three examine the composition of societies, paying particular attention to Marxist analysis, and seeking to extricate Macmurray's transferable ideas from those conditioned by his era. Finally, chapter four claims that communities are necessary for the full expression of the person, whilst criticising Macmurray's dubious employment of religious terminology in this respect. In essence, this thesis argues that the insights of Macmurray's theory have been needlessly neglected, and that the person must be understood from the perspective of agency and relationships.

Thesis, Karlstads universitet, Institutionen för språk, litteratur och interkultur, 2015. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kau:diva-35183.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract The purpose of this essay is to show that John Irving uses differentiating sexuality in his novels as a means of promoting sexual tolerance. This is done by using Jonathan Dollimore’s theoretical framework called sexual dissidence, which stems from a deconstruction of the Freudian usage of perversion, and applying this framework to The World According to Garp (1978), The Hotel New Hampshire (1981) and In One Person (2012). The results show that, in these novels, Irving uses sexual dissidence through exaggeration and normalization, thereby promoting tolerance of differentiating sexuality. In conclusion, while the usage of sexual dissidence is present in all three novels, In One Person must be considered the so far clearest example of Irving's usage of sexual dissidence.Sammanfattning Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att visa att John Irving använder icke-normerande sexualitet i sina romaner för att gynna sexuell tolerans. Detta görs genom användandet av Jonathan Dollimores teoretiska struktur kallad sexuellt oliktänkande, vilken har sitt ursprung i demonteringen av den Freudianska användningen av termen perversion, och applicerandet av denna struktur på Garp och hans värld (1978), Hotell New Hampshire (1981) och I en människa (2012). Resultatet visar att det finns bevis för att Irving använder sexuellt oliktänkande genom överdrift och normaliserande och därigenom gynnar sexuell tolerans. Uppsatsen drar slutsatsen att medan användandet av sexuellt oliktänkande är närvarande i alla tre romanerna måste I en människa betraktas som det hittills tydligaste exemplet på Irvings användande av sexuellt oliktänkande.

Full textAbstract:
OBJETIVOS: Esta tesis se enmarca en el ámbito de la Pervivencia de la Mitología Clásica y el objetivo es investigar sobre el tratamiento e influencia que la leyenda de Andrómeda y Perseo ha tenido a lo largo de tres periodos histórico-musicales en la ópera: barroco, clasicismo y siglo XX. El origen de este trabajo es la lectura de la leyenda de Andrómeda y Perseo en la versión canónica de Ovidio en las Metamorfosis, 4.604-803 y 5.1-235. Nuestro objetivo es examinar la proyección de este mito en la ópera a través del análisis de la producción literaria y musical de los siguientes autores: Ovidio, Pierre Corneille, Philippe Quinault, Giambattista Varesco, Michael Veber-Nino- y Salvatore Sciarrino, en la parte literaria; y Jean-Baptiste Lully, Johann Michael Haydn, Jacques Ibert y Salvatore Sciarrino en lo musical. METODOLOGÍA: El proceso de investigación se ha articulado en tres fases con la siguiente metodología: Partimos de la observación de la leyenda en Ovidio así como en otros autores que han difundido también este mito, ya sea basándose en Ovidio directamente o no. A continuación analizamos el tratamiento literario del mito en los libretos de las cuatro óperas elegidas, encuadradas dentro de diferentes estilos y épocas musicales. Y finalmente, estudiamos los recursos musicales utilizados por los compositores en sus óperas para la interpretación del mito clásico de Andrómeda y Perseo. Las tres fases citadas anteriormente nos acercan a los objetivos de este trabajo. La primera, nos sitúa en el objetivo de estudio de la investigación; la segunda nos lleva a conocer el objetivo de estudio en su contexto y sus características; y la tercera nos plantea la finalidad de la investigación en el contexto de la adecuación música-texto. CONCLUSIÓN: A lo largo de la historia siempre han estado unidas las diferentes artes, una vez más literatura y música han sido fuente de inspiración en la historia de la ópera. La propia evolución estética, literaria y musical han sido las responsables de las numerosas diferencias conceptuales a la hora de plasmar la leyenda del mito de Andrómeda y Perseo en las óperas de Lully, Haydn, Ibert y Sciarrino. A través de las cuatro óperas analizadas podemos observar cómo Lully, Haydn, Ibert y Sciarrino, ya sea por medio del bajo continuo, arias virtuosísticas, armonías impresionistas y textos silábicos u orquestación electrónica han interpretado aquella antigua leyenda recogida en las Metamorfosis de Ovidio, en la Andromède de Corneille o en las Moralidades legendarias de Laforgue. La relación más cercana con respecto al mito clásico ovidiano que se da en Lully o Haydn no lo es tanto en Ibert y menos en Sciarrino, por el final trágico que inventa el italiano en su ópera. En la presente tesis se estudia la significación del texto y la profunda relación entre éste y la música, que a través de multitud de lenguajes y procedimientos compositivos, y una vez interrelacionados y ensamblados magistralmente por el compositor hacen que la inspiración en la leyenda mitológica ovidiana se convierta en verdaderas obras de arte.OBJECTIVES: This thesis is defined within the continued existence of Classical Mythology and its objective is to hold a research on the treatment and influence that the story of Perseus and Andromeda has had on opera over three periods of the history of Music: Classicism, Impressionism and the twentieth century. This piece of work originates in Ovid's approach to the legend of Perseus and Andromeda in the canonical version of the myth found in "Metamorphoses", 4.604-803 and 5.1-235. Our objective is to examine the impact of this myth on opera by evaluating the literature production and musical work of the following authors: Ovid, Pierre Corneille, Philippe Quinault, Giambattista Varesco, Michael Veber-Nino- and Salvatore Sciarrino as for literature; and Jean-Baptiste Lully, Johann Michael Haydn, Jacques Ibert and Salvatore Sciarrino for their musical work. METHODOLOGY: The research process has been performed in three phases according to the following methodology: The starting point of this study is the evaluation of Ovid's legend, as well as other authors' who have also spread this myth, whether basing their work on Ovid's directly or not. Then, we analysed the literary treatment of the myth found in the libretti of the four operas chosen within different music styles and periods. Finally, we studied the musical resources used by the composers in their operas to interpret the classical myth of Perseus and Andromeda. The three phases mentioned above bring us closer to the objectives of this research. The first one pictures the objective of this study; with the second one, we get to know the context and characteristics of the objective; and the third one sets out the purpose of this research work within a music and text adaptation context. CONCLUSION: Through history, the different Arts have always been linked together and, once again, literature and music have been of great influence in the history of opera. In fact, the aesthetic, literary and musical evolution have been responsible for the wide range of conceptual differences that arise when interpreting the story of Perseus and Andromeda in Lully, Haydn, Ibert and Sciarrino's operas. Through the four operas analysed, we can see how Lully, Haydn, Ibert and Sciarrino, either by using a continuous bass, virtuosistic arias, impressionistic harmonies and syllabic texts or electronic orchestration, they all have interpreted the ancient legend of Ovid's Metamorphoses, in Corneille's Andromède or Laforgue's Moralités Légendaires. Those who relate the most to the classical Ovidian myth are Lully or Haydn, whereas this closeness is less obvious in Ibert's work and gets even further away from the legend in Sciarrino's, specially due to the tragic end that the Italian composer adds to his opera. In this thesis, the meaning of the text and the profound connection between text and music via a wide variety of languages and composition processes, once masterfully interrelated and assembled together by the composer, make the influence of the Ovidian myth turn into true masterpieces.

[spa] Este trabajo de investigación histórica versa sobre el Hospital de San Juan de Dios de Palma de
Mallorca, Islas Baleares desde 1955 hasta 2015. En este trabajo se detallan las diferentes
evoluciones de esta institución, iniciando con el trienio precedente a su inauguración, con
especial énfasis en el contexto sanitario balear y en las epidemias de poliomielitis acontecidas
en ese período.
Este trabajo se ha basado en la recopilación y análisis de fuentes primarias, como documentos
originales de la Orden de San Juan de Dios y archivos del propio hospital, junto a otros
procedentes de otras instituciones oficiales y particulares. Además, se han desarrollado
entrevistas a personas que han participado de manera directa en diferentes etapas del hospital,
contribuyendo todo ello a la configuración de un texto que refleja no sólo los acontecimientos
históricos sino también los valores de hospitalidad característicos de la Orden de San Juan de
Dios.
Fruto de este trabajo, en esta tesis se recogen de forma sistemática las distintas etapas del
Hospital de San Juan de Dios: el funcionamiento como sanatorio infantil desde 1955 a 1974; el
cambio hacia un hospital de adultos, desde 1975 a 1997; la conversión del centro en un hospital
geriátrico, entre 1998 hasta 2006 y finalmente la fase actual, desde 2007 a 2015, en la que el
Hospital de San Juan de Dios evoluciona hacia una institución especializada en la promoción de
la autonomía de la persona. El origen y desarrollo del Hospital de San Juan de Dios ha estado
relacionado con la salud en cada época, decantándose especialmente hacia la patología del
aparato locomotor y la rehabilitación, por lo que también se incluye un análisis del desarrollo
temporal de ciertos aspectos de la cirugía ortopédica durante este período.
Se incluye en el estudio no sólo la labor asistencial del Hospital de San Juan de Dios, sino también
su labor formativa, educativa y social: la creación de las Escuelas de Ayudantes Técnicos
Sanitarios y de Fisioterapia, previo al desarrollo de la Enfermería y la Fisioterapia en la educación
superior; las relaciones con la sociedad civil mallorquina y balear, así como la obra benéfica; las
relaciones y acuerdos con otras instituciones sanitarias baleares externas a la Orden y con la
Universidad de les Illes Balears.
En conclusión, el Hospital de San Juan de Dios ha sido y es una institución sanitaria
imprescindible en el contexto sociosanitario balear, habiendo pasado por diferentes etapas
desde su constitución, adaptándose a las necesidades que en cada momento demandaba la
sociedad balear siendo fiel a su carisma y a los principios y valores de hospitalidad.[cat] La present treball d’investigació versa sobre l’ Hospital de Sant Joan de Déu de Palma de Mallorca, a les Illes Balears, des del 1955 al 2015. En el text es detalla l’ evolució que ha sofert la institució, iniciant l’estudi en el trieni previ a la inauguració, fent especial èmfasi en el context sanitari balear i en les epidèmies de poliomielitis existents en aquell període. El treball està basat en la recopilació i anàlisi de fonts primàries recollides en documents originals de l’Orde, en arxius institucionals, oficials i de l’hospital. A més a més, s’han dut a terme entrevistes a persones que participaren de forma directa en les diferents etapes de l’hospital; contribuint en general a configurar un text que reflecteix no solament aconteixements històrics, sinó adhuc valors d’hospitalitat característics de l’Orde Hospitalari de Sant Joan de Déu. Aquesta tesi registra sistemàticament les diferents etapes de l’Hospital de Sant Joan de Déu: la primera fase com a sanatori infantil des de l’any 1955 al 1974; el canvi cap a un hospital d’adults operant des de 1975 a 1997; la conversió en un hospital geriàtric entre 1998 i 2006 i finalment la fase actual, des del 2007 al 2015, en la que l’hospital evoluciona cap a un centre sanitari especialitzat en la promoció de l’autonomia de la persona. L’origen i el desenvolupament de l’Hospital de Sant Joan de Déu ha estat sempre relacionat amb l’estat de salut de cada època, especialment amb el vessant de la patologia de l’aparell locomotriu i la rehabilitació, motiu pel qual s’inclou una anàlisi temporal del desenvolupament de certs aspectes de la cirurgia ortopèdica durant tot el període. S’inclou a l’estudi realitzat, no només la labor assistencial de l’hospital, sinó també la seva tasca formativa, educativa i social: la creació de les Escoles d’Ajudant Tècnic Sanitari i de Fisioteràpia, prèviament al desenvolupament de l’Imfermería i la Fisioteràpia dins l’educació superior; les relacions amb la societat civil mallorquina i balear, així con la labor benèfica; les relacions i acords amb altres institucions sanitàries balears alienes a l’ Orde i els lligams establerts amb la Universitat de les Illes Balears. En conclusió, l’Hospital de Sant Joan de Déu ha sigut i continua essent una institució sanitària imprescindible dins el context sociosanitari balear, havent passat per diferents etapes adaptantse a les necessitats que en cada moment exigia la societat balear i mantenint-se sempre fidel al seu carisma constitucional i als seus principis i valors d’hospitalitat.
[eng] This historical research work was carried out on the Saint John of God Hospital in Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain from 1955 to 2015.

Full textAbstract:
Libertação, Conversão e Catequese em Jo 9 tem o propósito de identificar o
itinerário percorrido por uma pessoa cega de nascença para confessar sua adesão
de fé, publicamente, a Jesus, como o Filho do homem, em tempos de exclusão da
sinagoga. A libertação das normas e leis que não estão em defesa da vida e, que,
por isso, não são de Deus, exige coragem, a partir da abertura dos olhos e da
mente, frente a uma situação que exclui. O primeiro capítulo aborda o evangelho
segundo a comunidade joanina como um todo, evidenciando suas principais
características, sua relação com as festas judaicas e o sábado. O segundo capítulo
aprofunda o estudo da narrativa da cura do cego de nascença, para evidenciar como
a libertação, conversão e catequese aparecem no texto. Essa narrativa apresenta o
processo de adesão a Jesus como o Filho do homem e, como, para isso, Ele precisa
ser visto perfeitamente como Ele é. Para tal, é necessária a abertura gradativa da
visão, mesmo em tempo de punição e exclusão, por parte dos judeus fariseus, a
quem nEle confessa sua fé. O entendimento a respeito de quem é Jesus dá-se a
partir do fazer o que ele manda; enfrentar com coragem os interrogatórios do grupo
dos judeus fariseus e não temer mostrar opinião contrária a eles, mesmo que isso
resulte em uma punição. O cego curado é modelo para a comunidade ao se deixar
iluminar por Jesus. O terceiro capítulo aprofunda como a catequese pode ser feita a
partir do texto de Jo 9. Estuda a forma como a comunidade joanina desenvolveu o
seu processo catequético, o da comunidade judaica e da comunidade cristã
primitiva. Com base no itinerário de libertação e conversão, realizado pelo cego
curado, apresentamos alguns elementos indicativos para a catequese de adultos em
nossos dias.Liberation, Conversion and Catechesis have the purpose, in John 9, to identify the itinerary of a person born blind in order to profess publicly his adhesion of faith to Jesus, as the Son of Man, in a time of exclusion from the synagogue. The liberation from laws and rules not directed towards defending life and, therefore, not according to the will of God, with regard to an excluding situation, takes courage after having opened eyes and mind. The first chapter considers the gospel according to the community of John as a whole, pointing out its main characteristics, its relation to the Jewish Feasts and the Sabbath. Chapter two deepens the study of the narration about the healing of the man born blind so as to make clear how liberation, conversion and catechesis become evident in the text. The narration presents the process of adhesion to Jesus as the Son of Man, showing how, accordingly, Jesus has to be seen exactly like he is. Therefore, the person who professes faith in Him, even in times of punishment and exclusion by the Jews and Pharisees, needs having his eyes gradually opened. The understanding of who Jesus is begins with doing what he orders, confronting courageously the questionning by the group of Jews Pharisees and not fearing to express an opinion contrary to theirs, even at the risk of punishment. The man born blind now healed, who lets himself be illuminated by Jesus, is a model for the community. Chapter three shows how the text of John 9 can be used for catechesis and how the community of John, the Jewish and the ancient Christian communities developed their catechetical process. Based on the itinerary of liberation and conversion made by the man born blind now healed, indicative elements for the catechesis of adults in our days are presented.

Full textAbstract:
Transnational corporations are playing an important role in the global economy of today. Many of these corporations have great economic resources and have the possibility of contributing to the development of societies in developing states. At the same time, in their search for profit, the activities of TNCs have proven fatal to some of the individuals employed by them, or otherwise in contact with their activities. Within the international legal framework, corporations are not traditionally treated as subjects and if a TNC allocates its production to a state with lax human rights protection, no binding international standards exist to regulate the conduct of the corporation. In my thesis I will assess the position of TNCs under the present core human rights instruments and soft law initiatives. I will also analyze a draft treaty text produced by the Intergovernmental Working Group on Business and Human Rights, released in July 2018, to reach a conclusion on whether such an instrument would affect the international legal status of TNCs and provide a more robust protection of international human rights.

Full textAbstract:
This research into Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) presents the results of 60 first-person psycho-phenomenological interviews with 30 New Zealand women. The participants were recruited from the Canterbury and Wellington regions, 10 had recovered. Taking a non-dual, non-reductive embodied approach, the phenomenological data was analysed semiotically, using a graph-theoretical cluster analysis to elucidate the large number of resulting categories, and interpreted through the enactive approach to cognitive science.
The initial result of the analysis is a comprehensive exploration of the experience of CFS which develops subject-specific categories of experience and explores the relation of the illness to universal categories of experience, including self, ‘energy’, action, and being-able-to-do.
Transformations of the self surrounding being-able-to-do and not-being-able-to-do were shown to elucidate the illness process.
It is proposed that the concept ‘energy’ in the participants’ discourse is equivalent to the Mahayana Buddhist concept of ‘contact’. This characterises CFS as a breakdown of contact. Narrative content from the recovered interviewees reflects a reestablishment of contact.
The hypothesis that CFS is a disorder of action is investigated in detail.
A general model for the phenomenology and functional architecture of action is proposed. This model is a recursive loop involving felt meaning, contact, action, and perception and appears to be phenomenologically supported.
It is proposed that the CFS illness process is a dynamical decompensation of the subject’s action loop caused by a breakdown in the process of contact.
On this basis, a new interpretation of neurological findings in relation to CFS becomes possible. A neurological phenomenon that correlates with the illness and involves a brain region that has a similar structure to the action model’s recursive loop is identified in previous research results and compared with the action model and the results of this research. This correspondence may identify the brain regions involved in the illness process, which may provide an objective diagnostic test for the condition and approaches to treatment.
The implications of this model for cognitive science and CFS should be investigated through neurophenomenological research since the model stands to shed considerable light on the nature of consciousness, contact and agency.
Phenomenologically based treatments are proposed, along with suggestions for future research on CFS. The research may clarify the diagnostic criteria for CFS and guide management and treatment programmes, particularly multidimensional and interdisciplinary approaches.
Category theory is proposed as a foundation for a mathematisation of phenomenology.

This dissertation examines the use of personae, the rhetorical artifices by which an author creates different voices, in John Gower's Confessio Amantis. I argue that the Confessio attempts to expose how discourses of sexual desire alienate subjects from their proper place in the political world, and produce artificial personae that only appear socially engaged. The first three chapters consider the creation of the personae in the context of medieval Aristotelian political thought and the Roman de la Rose tradition. The last three chapters examine the extended discourse of Gower's primary personae in the Confessio Amantis, drawing upon Gower's other works and the history of Gower criticism.

Full textAbstract:
As both a philosopher and a Christian, John Macmurray (1891-1976), spent his life attempting to show that we are truly called to a life of unity with one another. He makes a strong philosophical case that to be properly human is to seek and to intend communion with others, and in his analysis of the nature of the human person he offers uS a way of understanding that the call to Christian unity is not simply a matter of pastoral effectiveness but one that expresses the deepest truth of our human being, that we are most fully ourselves when we are in communion with one another. The call to unity among the Christian Churches is one that has largely shaped pastoral and theological concerns over the last hundred years or more. The efforts of the World Council of Churches and the writings of many eminent theologians have pushed the question of ecumenism to the forefront of Christian consciousness. It is now generally recognised among Christians of all traditions that the failure of the Churches to give practical expression of the unity for which Christ prayed is itself a major obstacle to the proclamation of the Good News, and one that inhibits the message of Jesus from being properly heard and accepted by many who are seeking meaning in their lives. In terms of how best to achieve the unity that so many desire, there has long been a divide between those who argue that unity should come about through doctrinal agreement and those who say that, while doctrine tends to divide Christians, unity can be best achieved through a shared commitment to practical efforts to make the world a more peaceful, just and loving place. Something, however, that has been largely overlooked in the whole ecumenical question is the need to find an appropriate philosophical basis for unity among peoples and among the Churches. Without such a philosophical underpinning, the call to unity can easily be seen as simply a practical pastoral tool for the effective proclamation of the Gospel or as nothing other than emotive rhetoric. In the writings ofJohn Macmurray we· are able to find an approach to the question of ecumenism that provides us with just such a philosophical basis for unity. This dissertation engages in a close reading of both Macmurray's philosophical and religious views, and suggests that, despite some inconsistencies in his own approach, Macmurray offers the whole ecumenical project a significant philosophical basis for the notion that in seeking unity among the Christian Churches we are being faithful to our nature as human beings. While not denying the sincerity of the countless numbers of those who have committed themselves to the call for unity among Christians, the desire for unity needs to be fortified by an appropriate understanding of human nature. It is. argued that the ecumenical movement can be greatly enhanced by the kind of perspective that Macmurray brings to the whole question of unity. His voice still needs to be heard.Thesis (M.Th.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2002.

Full textAbstract:
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)Joan Didion, a native of Sacramento, California, is the author of many acclaimed collections of journalism and memoir, the first of which were Slouching Towards Bethlehem (1968) and The White Album (1979). Eve Babitz, a lifelong resident of Los Angeles, has produced two such volumes: Eve’s Hollywood (1974) and Slow Days, Fast Company: The World, The Flesh, and L.A. (1977). While much critical ink has been spilled over Didion’s oeuvre, Babitz was, until the recent reprinting of the aforementioned titles, known best as an artist and muse. Perhaps due to this disparity in recognition and renown, no extant critical piece serves to compare the nonfiction of Didion and Babitz, despite their close geographic and social proximity. In viewing their early work side by side, the Golden West of the 1960s and ’70s emerges as the clearest point of comparison; however, the ways in which Didion and Babitz use place and time in their work often differ due to the marked contrasts in the identities they convey. In characterizing herself as a journalist and an observer, Didion offers a perspective that feels objective but is, at turns, wry and cool. Babitz, writing in a manner that was, at one time, considered autofiction, positions herself as the freewheeling focal point around which Hollywood’s dizzying cultural landscape unfolds. By manipulating the constructs of place and persona, these writers are better equipped to tell the story at hand and analyze their places within it, cementing their work in California’s literary canon.

Full textAbstract:
John Peel holds a unique place in British broadcasting history. During his almost 40-year career as a DJ on the BBC’s Radio One and Radio Four, he not only introduced innovative music—including psychedelia, reggae, punk, hip hop, grunge and electronica—into the British mainstream, but championed hundreds of musicians whose work might otherwise have gone unnoticed. Using Peel as a case study, this research focuses on the role his persona played in three distinct aspects of his success: (1) his ability to attract audiences across several generations; (2) his longevity at the BBC, a bastion of conservative bureaucracy; and (3) his impact on the programming on BBC’s Radio One and on British popular music in general. Drawing on the theories of persona developed by Horton and Wohl (1956) and Goffman (1971, 1981), the study offers a rhetorical analysis of Peel’s broadcast talk to explicate the role of persona in his success.
By creating a persona based on selection, omission and emphasis of contradictory traits, Peel presented himself as an Everyman able to pull listeners onto his public platform while placing himself simultaneously in their worlds. Far from the artificial and static persona conceptualized by Horton and Wohl (1956), Peel’s on-air persona was paradoxical and flexible—traits that enhanced his credibility and help explain his unprecedented tenure as a DJ on Radio One and appeal as the host and writer for a talk program on Radio Four. The study ends with a discussion of the conditions required and extent to which it is possible for a single individual such as Peel to have a significant impact on social and cultural change.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the theology and social ethics of John Howard Yoder with a view toward how creation and redemption are related in his theology. The first chapter examines Yoder's aversion to certain construals of creation and argues that he is not inherently hostile to creation as such, but is cautious with respect to the possible abuse of creation as a theological and ethical category. The second chapter evaluates the nature of the state in Yoder's theology, examines his view of the Powers in this context, and argues that his view of redemption can be seen as a restoration of an eschatologically open creation. The third chapter compares Yoder's theology and social ethics with those of J. Richard Middleton, arguing that there may be a potential for interconnection between Yoder's Anabaptistic focus on the politics of Jesus and Middleton's Reformational emphasis upon the goodness of the power of creation seen in the imago Dei of Genesis I.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis proposes that developing NT theology for the Asian context is important
because of the cultural and multi-religious background of the people. The text of the
Bible must be the source of theology and must be applied systematically to the Asian
context.
John the Baptist has been instrumental in preparing the way for Jesus Christ. His
theological significance needs to be considered at the beginning of NT theology and
also in his contribution to the Asian context. Jesus Christ is the center and unity of NT
theology. Consideration has been given to the person of Jesus Christ, his mission, his
ministry, and the community of his followers. Jesus Christ has been unique in many
ways especially when compared to the life and teaching of Buddha.
