Full textAbstract:
t Positioned at the juncture of literature and linguistics, this thesis undertakes a stylistic analysis of the English translation of Gandhi's autobiography The Story of My Experiments with Truth (1940), the most widely read version of the text both within and without India. Despite the continuing scholarly interest in all aspects of Gandhi's life and work, his autobiography has garnered little critical attention. Those few critics who have engaged with the text have largely approached it as a biographical representation, failing to capitalise on the self-reflexivity characteristic of the genre. This thesis employs cognitive and corpus stylistic models to interrogate Gandhi's self-representation. In so doing, it challenges prevalent assumptions of the text's linguistic "artlessness" and endeavours to debunk concomitant myths of the author's psychological "simplicity". It draws upon Catherine Emmott's (2002) cognitive stylistic typology of "split selves" to problematise the textual representation of Gandhi's selfhood. Given the centrality of empathy to Gandhian ideology, theoretical and methodological frameworks of narrative empathy are integrated into a corpus linguistic analysis which probes the presence of potentially empathetic. linguistic markers in the text. It concludes by analysing the text's linguistic and conceptual metaphor use through application of a modified version of Conceptual Metaphor Theory, thereby simultaneously challenging received critical opinion as to the text's literary and linguistic 'simplicity' and exposing its writer- subject's underlying belief-systems. Through the application of corpus and cognitive linguistic models of analysis, this thesis reveals both the linguistic intricacies of Gandhi's autobiography and the psychological complexities of its writer-subject. In so doing, it challenges prevalent, unsubstantiated critical assumptions regarding both text and writer and builds upon nascent scholarship that questions the myth of Gandhi's selfhood.

Previous issue date: 2011-08-23<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>Esta pesquisa se propõe a compreender qual o significado do ministério
feminino e as mútuas relações dos símbolos na comunidade joanina.
O filtro teológico adotado para essa compreensão partiu como
base de João 4, em que surgem, dentro dessa perícope, sinais de uma
comunidade em um processo teológico em diversas fases. É relevante
a exegese porque nos permite entender o contexto histórico, as dificuldades
da comunidade joanina e quais as principais questões discutidas
dentro desse texto. A intenção primária é apresentar o valor
da mulher para a comunidade de João em contrapartida com a opressão
religiosa no mesmo período. Partindo do texto de Jo 4, 4-42, pretendemos
também entender a proposta do redator, que usa os símbolos
como forma de linguagem para classificar os personagens, a qualidade
da missão e a forma de servir ao reino de Deus na perspectiva
joanina.

Simos, Emmanouil. "A sceptical aesthetics of existence : the case of Michel Foucault." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/277823.
Full textAbstract:
A Sceptical Aesthetics of Existence: The Case of Michel Foucault Emmanouil Simos (Hughes Hall) Michel Foucault's genealogical investigations constitute a specific historical discourse that challenges the metaphysical hypostatisation of concepts and methodological approaches as unique devices for tracking metaphysically objective truths. Foucault's notion of aesthetics of existence, his elaboration of the ancient conceptualisation of ethics as an 'art of living' (a technē tou biou), along with a series of interconnected notions (such as the care of the self) that he developed in his later work, have a triple aspect. First, these notions are constitutive parts of his later genealogies of subjectivity. Second, they show that Foucault contemplates the possibility of understanding ethics differently, opposed to, for example, the traditional Kantian conceptualisation of morality: he envisages ethics in terms of self-fashioning, of aesthetic transformation, of turning one's life into a work of art. Third, Foucault employs these notions in self-referential way: they are considered to describe his own genealogical work. This thesis attempts to show two things. First, I defend the idea that the notion of aesthetics of existence was already present in a constitutive way from the beginning of his work, and, specifically, I argue that it can be traced in earlier moments of his work. Second, I defend the idea that this notion of aesthetics of existence is best understood in terms of the sceptical stance of Sextus Empiricus. It describes an ethics of critique of metaphysics that can be understood as a nominalist, contextualist, and particularist stance. The first chapter discusses Foucault's late genealogy of the subject. It formulates the interpretative framework within which Foucault's own conceptualisation of the aesthetics of existence can be understood as a sceptical stance, itself conceived as nominalist, contextualist and particularist. As the practice of an aesthetics of existence is not abstract and ahistorical but the engagement with the specific historical circumstances within which this practice is undertaken, the second chapter reconstructs the intellectual context from which Foucault's thought has emerged (Heidegger, Blanchot, and Nietzsche). The third chapter discusses representative examples of different periods of Foucault's thought -such as the "Introduction" to Binswanger's "Traum und Existenz" (1954), Histoire de la folie (1961), and Histoire de la sexualité I. La volonté de savoir (1976)- and shows in which way they constitute concrete instantiations of his sceptical aesthetics of existence. The thesis concludes with responses to a number of objections to the sceptical stance here defended.

West, Emma Kuliana. "Bald truths : living and coming to terms with alopecia areata hair loss." Thesis, University of Essex, 2010. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.537953.
Full textAbstract:
This research set out to enhance our understanding of what it means to live with hair loss diagnosed as alopecia areata (AA), exploring how individuals adapted over time. This was achieved through depth interview with 33 persons (19 women; 14 men) living with various levels of hair loss severity and duration. There is a growing body of quantitative evidence indicating that the condition can be emotionally, psychologically and socially devastating. This investigation explored the issue qualitatively, directly from the perspectives of those affected, so as to gain a fuller perspective on negative outcomes for men and women. Results revealed how a great deal of uncertainty accompanied the early AA career and much effort was invested as individuals attempted to make sense of their experiences and exert control over the condition. As hair loss worsened and physical appearance became increasingly `different', questions of identity and self came to the fore, causing those affected to feel that the essence of their personhood was under threat. Over time some adapted more successfully than others, although those most zealous in their efforts to keep it hidden from others undoubtedly led the most restricted lives. Both men and women expressed negative feelings about their hair loss, particularly from the head and around the eyes. However, there were also clear gender differences in meanings according to hair loss in particular body areas. Moreover, women invested more in `normalising' their appearance. I have argued that simplistic assumptions regarding the heightened threat for women undermine the gravity for men and contribute towards the difficulty many men experience in seeking and gaining support. This research represents a preliminary step towards a fuller understanding of the experience of living with AA. It is anticipated that these findings will enable professionals to improve the planning and delivery of health care for A. A.

(Synopsis to introductory statement): An introductory statement to five documentary films made by Ian Lang in Australia between 1981 and 1997 exemplifying a 'democratising' model of sustainable and ethical documentary film production. This document critically reflects on the production process of these films to accompany their submission for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Publication at Griffith University. It finds that a contemporary tendency towards 'post-industrial' conditions allows an observational film-maker to negotiate a critical inter-dependence rather than a romantically conceived 'independence' traditional to the genre.

Full textAbstract:
The problem that is studied is formulated in chapter 1. It boils down to the
fact that nowadays, also in churches with 'mainly white congregations, there
are different viewpoints on living together. It varies from a direct rejection to
a de facto acceptance. In view of this research is done for the purpose of
assessing cohabitation according to Scriptures.
In chapter 2 the essence and purpose of the Christian marriage are
portrayed. It becomes clear that it is God's will that sexual intercourse may
only take place inside the marriage.
In chapter 3 the main reasons for cohabitation are examined. It is found that
if all the causes are considered in their close relationship with each other, a
favourable infrastructure for living together is created and people are
strongly influenced to live together.
The practice of cohabitation is evaluated in chapter 4 by using 8 of the 9
social ethical norms formulated by Heyns in the light of Scriptures and
applied by Steensma as normative viewpoints. It is found that cohabiting is
at variance with all eight social ethical norms. It is also found that living
together doesn't always result in marriage, and if it results in marriage, there
is no guarantee that the marriage will succeed and will not end up in at court
of divorce.
In chapter 5 a summary is given of the problem identification and the results
of the previous 4 chapters. Then a conclusion is made about cohabitation in
the light of Scriptures, namely that it is in conflict with the will of God. In the
third section guidelines are given for the purpose of pastoral guidance
towards people who cohabit or plan to do so. The role of the government
and topics for further studies about cohabitation are also given.<br>Thesis (Th.M. (Ethics))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2005.

Il pensatore scolastico viene indicato come fonte di primaria importanza per lo sviluppo dell'ontologia heideggeriana matura attraverso alcuni elementi chiave: l'univocità del concetto di essere, la razionalità di principio dell'individuo, la ricerca di un linguaggio descrittivo adatto alla filosofia. Carl Braig risulta uno degli autori il cui contributo determinò maggiormente in Heidegger l'interesse per i problemi dell'ontologia scotista.<br>The young Heidegger’s relationship to Duns Scotus is analysed with particular reference to the thesis on “Duns Scotus’s Doctrine of Categories and Meaning” (1916). The scholastic thinker is shown to be a source of primary importance for Heidegger’s mature ontology by the means of some key features: the univocity of the concept of Being, the basic intelligibility of the individual, the search for a descriptive language suitable for philosophy. Carl Braig turns out to be one of the authors who contributed the most to determine Heidegger’s interest in the problems of scotist ontology.

Full textAbstract:
Often considered to be apolitical playwrights, Samuel Beckett and Tom Stoppard each dedicated dramatic works to dissident Czech playwright (and later President) Václav Havel in the late 1970s and early 1980s—during his imprisonment for his role in writing and distributing the dissident document Charter 77. These dramatic works, with a few others, collectively mark simultaneous, parallel shifts in Beckett’s and Stoppard’s careers toward uncharacteristically explicit political engagement. This report examines these works—Beckett’s Catastrophe and What Where, and Stoppard’s Every Good Boy Deserves Favor and Professional Foul—through the lens of Havel’s political philosophy, especially as expressed in his 1978 essay “The power of the powerless.” This report argues that Havel’s model of apolitical resistance to injustice, a model he calls “living in truth,” expresses humanist values that these playwrights had long affirmed in their art. Their shared moral vision, along with sympathy for Havel’s plight under a totalitarian regime that distorted language as a tool of oppression, was the catalyst for their new, direct involvement in political matters. The report establishes the historical context of the Soviet-dominated Communist regime in Czechoslovakia, along with relevant biographical and professional narratives for each figure. It then examines closely this selection of Beckett’s and Stoppard’s dramatic works and their shared thematic concerns, and demonstrates how they artistically embody and communicate Havel’s model of “living in truth.”<br>text

What is the Meisner Technique? This research aim to investigated that. The originator of Meisner Technique is Sanford Meisner, Meisner Technique is one of the technique that very popular in modern times of the America, meanwhile, Sanford Meisner, Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg, each of them represented three systems of realism in America, also there has another voice which included Uta Haguen formed as the four systems of the realism.
The source of Meisner Technique was from the Constantin Stanislavski, the artist of acting in Russia which founded the Method Approach in system of acting which derived the Meisner Technique. That has significant effect for the actor in instant reaction on acting, therefore, in America, acting before the camera in every institution of school that most training is related with this technique, however, and yet, it is not well known in Asia, as a result of that, the purpose of the research is going to make the theory of performance with practicality which developing more extensively and continually, that will created more value to us on the theory of performance as reference.
As a researcher, I participated the course of Number One Theatre Laboratory in Hong Kong, to discovered the idea of Meisner’s process of acting technique, like how to presents it on the stage in specifically, according to the workshop of Meisner Technique on acting which transformed the research paper into acting with the Meisner’s acting technique, as a reference, that was the reality in combination of the theory and practice. Besides, the record of ensemble rehearsed and take the experienced in personal which all made me to explore the Meisner Technique with its individual thought.I was reviewed in the history of the path on learning how to act which contrasted with the technique in recent years and the integration with experience of acting that it is also can be a feedback to acting students through the theory.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis deals with a metaphor and its place in philosophy. It engages in a concept of metaphor as a transference with a help of Aristotle, Nietzsche, Ricoeur, and others, and explores consequences which follow from such a concept in the perspective of truth conditions. Firstly, it focuses on an exploration of a nature of the metaphor with a relation to an earlier philosophical tradition. Secondly, it examines categories of similarity, reference and imagination as fundamental constituents of metaphorical utterances. Furthermore, it also re-evaluates the distinction between literal and figurative meaning and living and dead metaphors to uncover the metaphor as a creative principle of language, which is characteristic by its actualizing and approaching power.
