Full textAbstract:
This article aims to highlight the representation of Greek mythology in Greek primary textbooks and the educational purpose of this representation, which includes macroscopic rearrangement, modification of individual texts, and addition of ancillary materials. In Greek primary schools, third graders begin to learn mythology in the introductory part of the subject History. The educational aspect of mythology in textbooks focuses on heroes being represented as exemplary models for teaching values to children. The texts reflect modern metanarrative of individualism, which teachers and parents consider important for children to learn. In its entirety, the textbook repeats each hero’s fighting spirit and struggles (macroscopic metanarratives). In addition, each story is modified to manifest only the hero’s individual accomplishments, concealing their negative aspects, and underestimating the influence of social contexts such as gender discrimination (modification of individual texts). Moreover, the pictures and maps, present in the textbooks, create an image of “timeless Greece” as it traces the movements of the heroes. These materials help young students connect the heroes’ world with their own. Activities and questions also help children adopt heroes as familiar role models (paratextual and visual elements). In conclusion, mythology in Greek primary school History textbooks function as an effective tool to teach the value of individualism to children.
Key words: Greek mythology education, metanarratives, heroes, individualism, identification
Resumen
La intención de este artículo es resaltar la representación de la mitología en libros de texto griegos y la intención educativa de esta representación que incluye la reorganización y la modificación de textos individuales y la incorporación de material secundario. En los libros de texto griegos, el alumnado de tercero empieza a aprender mitología en la parte introductoria de la asignatura de Historia. El aspecto educativo de la mitología en los libros de texto se focaliza en los héroes, que son representados como modelos ejemplares para enseñar valores a los niños y niñas. Los textos reflejan metanarrativas modernas individualistas, que tanto el profesorado como las familias consideran importante enseñar al alumnado. En general, el libro de texto repite el espíritu de lucha y prueba (metanarrativa macroscópica) de cada héroe. Por otro lado, cada historia se modifica para manifestar solo los logros individuales del héroe, ocultando sus aspectos negativos y minusvalorando la influencia del contexto social tal como la discriminación de género (modificación de textos individuales). Además, las ilustraciones y mapas presentes en estos materiales crean una imagen de “Grecia intemporal” según se trazan los movimientos de los héroes. Estos materiales ayudan al joven estudiantado a conectar el mundo de los héroes con el propio. Las actividades y preguntas también ayudan al alumnado a adoptar los roles y modelos familiares (elementos paratextuales y visuales). En conclusión, la mitología en los libros de texto griegos de Primaria funciona como una herramienta útil para el aprendizaje del valor del individualismo.

La intenció d’aquest article és ressaltar la representació de la mitologia en llibres de text grecs i la seua intenció educativa que inclou la reorganització i la modificació de textos individuals i l’afegit de material secundari. Als llibres de text grecs, l’alumnat de tercer comença a aprendre mitologia en la part introductòria de l’assignatura d’Història. L’aspecte educatiu de la mitologia als llibres de text focalitza en els herois que són representats com a models exemplars per tal d’ensenyar valors als infants. Els textos reflecteixen metanarrative modernes individualistes que professorat, pares i mares, consideren important d’ensenyar als infants. En general, el llibre de text repeteix l’esperit de lluita i prova (metanarrativa macroscòpica) de cada heroi. D’altra banda, cada història es modifica per manifestar només les fites individuals de l’heroi, tot amagant els seus aspectes negatius i menyspreant la influència del context social tal com la discriminació de gènere (modificació de textos individuals). A més a més, les il·lustracions i els mapes presents en aquests materials, creen una imatge de “Grècia intemporal” segons es delinea els moviments dels herois. Aquests materials ajuden el jovent a connectar el món dels herois amb el propi. Les activitats i preguntes també ajuden a l’alumnat a adoptar els rols i models familiars (elements paratextuals i visuals). En conclusió, la mitologia als llibres de text grecs de Primària funciona com una eina útil per ensenyar el valor de l’individualisme als infants.

Abstract In studying the interaction between the three monotheistic religions in South Africa it is important to note that each of them functions as a metanarrative in that they all attempt to provide a more-or-less coherent perspective on reality. The different, but also overlapping, metanarratives of Islam, Judaism and Christianity furthermore each has a complex relationship with their respective authoritative Scriptures, communities of faith, contemporary societies and each other. It is therefore necessary to investigate the manner in which each religion’s metanarrative functions within the spheres of the academy, faith community and broader society. This contribution describes one of the projects of the envisioned Centre for the Interpretation of Authoritative Scriptures (CIAS) that is in the process of being established at Stellenbosch University. The focus of this project will be on the relationship between the metanarrative contained in the Christian canon, a specific faith community (the Dutch Reformed Church) within South African society in the period 2009–2019.

Full textAbstract:
Este artigo discute a relação entre ética e estética na filosofia de Jean-François Lyotard. Influenciado por Wittgenstein, Lyotard argumenta que a cultura contemporânea é caracterizada por vários jogos de linguagem localmente legitimados, o que impossibilitaria o uso de uma linguagem universal e unificadora. De acordo com Lyotard, metanarrativas tais como a autonomia do sujeito oprimiriam a diversidade. Por causa disso, as metanarrativas deveriam ser substituídas pelos vários jogos. Assim, o artigo também pretende mostrar que essa caracterização de pós-modernidade abrange uma posição ética cética e relativista que torna impraticável uma análise crítica da cultura. Uma das consequências disso é a associação entre a filosofia pós-moderna e a defesa das sociedades capitalistas.[This paper discusses the relation between ethics and aesthetics in the philosophy of Jean-François Lyotard. Influenced by Wittgenstein, Lyotard argues that contemporary culture is characterized by several locally legitimated language games, which would precludes the use of a universal and unifying language. According to Lyotard, metanarratives such as the autonomous subject could oppress diversity. Because of this, the metanarratives should be replaced by several games. The paper also intends to show that this characterization of postmodernity embraces a skeptical and relativist ethic conception that makes impractical a critical analysis of culture. One consequence of this is the link between postmodern philosophy and defense of capitalist societies.]

Full textAbstract:
Objective: We address the problem of how researchers investigate the actual or potential causal connection between interruptions and medical errors, and whether interventions might reduce the potential for harm. Background: It is widely assumed that interruptions lead to errors and patient harm. However, many reviewers and authors have commented that there is not strong evidence for a causal connection. Method: We introduce a framework of criteria for assessing how strongly evidence implies causality: the so-called Bradford Hill criteria. We then examine four key “metanarratives” of research into interruptions in health care—applied cognitive psychology, epidemiology, quality improvement, and cognitive systems engineering—and assess how each tradition has addressed the causal connection between interruptions and error. Results: Outcomes of applying the Bradford Hill criteria are that the applied cognitive psychology and epidemiology metanarratives address the causal connection relatively directly, whereas the quality improvement metanarrative merely assumes causality, and the cognitive systems engineering metanarrative either implicitly or explicitly questions the feasibility of finding a direct causal connection with harm. Conclusion: The Bradford Hill criteria are useful for evaluating the existing literature on the relationship between interruptions in health care, clinical errors, and the potential for patient harm. In the future, more attention is needed to the issue of why interruptions usually do not lead to harm, and the implications for how we approach patient safety.

Full textAbstract:
Patriarchy has always been a dominant metanarrative among different societies, hence controlling all other power centered notions too. The ones affected, for instance, women started retaliating against dominance but postmodernism gave them a platform. Roqqeya Sakahwat Hussein in 1905 wrote a short story Sultanas Dream A qualitative based study, utilizing textual analysis has been done to look at Sultanas dream through the lens of Postmodernism based on Lyotards theory of Incredulity towards grand and metanarratives. The analysis shows Husseins (1905) rejection of grand narrative, i.e gender here, in her short story Sultas Dream. She presented a land where women are assigned roles based on power, logic and reasoning. They are rulers, scientists and educationists and males were not even visible in the story. They were barbarious, and bound to stay in boundaries. It is thus highlighted that Hussein (1905) has shown incredulity towards the power center and metanarrative, which is gender here.

Full textAbstract:
The incredulity towards metanarratives in the postmodernist era holds serious implications for historiography. Two "historiographic metafictional novels" (Hutcheon's term), one Flemish and one Afrikaans, are discussed in this article. There is a significant difference in the way these two texts react to ontological doubt. On the one hand there is a celebration of the loss of metanarratives in Het beleg van Laken (Walter van den Broeck). On the other hand this loss is used in a very serious way to undermine existing metanarratives in Kroniek uit die doofpot (John Miles). The joyous humour and celebration in Het beleg van Laken is absent in Kroniek uit die doofpot. It is concluded that some historiographic metafiction frivolously celebrates decentring and the incredulity towards metanarratives. In other historiographic metafiction ontological doubt manifests without humour or celebration and serves to undermine metanarratives. It might he true that the celebration belongs to a late capitalist Western culture whereas it is unsuitable for a developing country.

Full textAbstract:
Madagascar has experienced various episodes of conflict since the colonization period. Despite the solutions local and external actors implemented, conflict recurs. Metanarratives such as socialism, communism, capitalism, and liberalism greatly impacted the conditions explaining the dynamics behind such recurrences. How did metanarratives contribute to the creation of more peaceful (de-escalating roles) or conflict situations (escalating roles)? With the help of Qualitative Comparative Analysis, this article identifies and studies the metanarratives influencing and being influenced by the following: a) conflict dimensions, b) the framing of the conflicts by the actors involved, c) the construction of the images of the self/the other, d) the accommodation policies (the solutions implemented to address the incompatibilities between the actors), and e) the repertoires of action. It argues that metanarratives play significant roles in transforming a conflict in both constructive and destructive ways.

Full textAbstract:
The global crisis has not invalidated everything about macroeconomics. However, it has highlighted some of mistakes of the discipline's dominant intellectual framework. Post-macroeconomic thinking recommended in this paper should not be understood as another metanarrative of the end of metanarratives. The use of the prefix post here suggests and emphasises much more than temporal posterity. Post-macroeconomics should follow from macroeconomics more than it follows after macroeconomics. The theorising of post-macroeconomics is therefore neither systematically oppositional, nor hegemonic. It does not advocate a "dialectic opposition" between macroeconomics and post-macroeconomics. Rather, it suggests that the latter builds on the former and goes beyond it.

Full textAbstract:
Culturally shared beliefs about societies and humanity play a prominent part in world events, from beliefs about the histories and destinies of nations to beliefs about the appropriate relationship between humanity and the natural world. Many of these beliefs are "metanarratives," simplified representations of past and future societal trends, which often have narrative elements, such as goals, dramatic features, a sense of suspense for group members, and affective judgments about the passage of events over time.
In this exploratory study, lifelong residents of the United States (N = 299 undergraduate students and 88 members of a web sample of older adults) indicated their degree of agreement with 73 metanarrative statements. Factor analysis of the students' personal belief scores for the 73 metanarratives revealed a pattern of clustering into six factors, indicating that people tend to believe in families of metanarratives. The six factors were Traditional Religion, American Secular Values, International Cooperation, Eco-Romanticism, Anti-Government Cynicism, and Rational Progress. The web sample largely replicated this structure, but with only four factors. The factors were highly correlated with political party affiliation and other psychosocial and demographic variables, including religiousness, Saucier "isms" factors, and MFQ moral foundations.
Participants were also asked about the extent to which some of their strongest beliefs were reflected in their personal activities: career choice, leisure time, spending money, voting, joining groups, reading and viewing, and discussion. The 73 metanarratives were coded for several narrative features: evaluative schema (such as Progress or Looming Catastrophe), presence of standard story elements (context, problem, outcome), presence of goals, and presence of references to cognitively exceptional elements (circumstances beyond the ordinary), such as the sacred, transcendental, unique, or extreme. For both samples, metanarratives with an evaluative schema indicating two possible paths were more motivating than those with only one outcome (e.g., stability or a cycle of recurring ups-and-downs). Further, those with goals were more motivating than those without, and for the web sample, those with cognitively exceptional elements were more motivating than those without. Further study of metanarratives should help to better illuminate the factors leading to individuals' decisions to participate in their larger societies.

Full textAbstract:
Critics of the English novel, arguing that it is underpinned by liberalism, frequently claim that the crisis of realism disclosed in the work of many contemporary writers derives from a concomitant crisis of liberalism. Liberalism's dissolution is thus seen to prefigure the death of the novel. This dissertation contends that realism cannot be equated with liberalism and that the contemporary crisis of representation signals a broader crisis of metanarratives.Focussing on selected novels of five post-war English novelists--B. S. Johnson, Doris Lessing, John Berger, Iris Murdoch, and Angus Wilson--I argue that their different responses to the crisis of representation show that it is not a crisis of liberalism alone. Johnson rejects realism for epistemological reasons; Lessing and Berger question it on political grounds; Murdoch and Wilson combine its strengths with a self-reflexive awareness of its weaknesses. I suggest that Murdoch's and Wilson's novels, which argue that fiction does not reflect reality but endows it with meaning and which are at once representational and metafictional, offer the most fruitful ways of acknowledging the crisis of representation while refusing to be paralyzed by it.

Full textAbstract:
The Appalachian studies tradition ascertains that Appalachian people politically, socially, and academically represent a heterogeneous minority group of our own. In post-capitalistic America, however, the Appalachian region serves as a hotspot for media misrepresentation and tourism that perpetuate through works of fiction, nonfiction, and scholarship both negative and positive stereotypes in the overall American consciousness. Twenty-first-century Appalachian authors, I contend, are reinventing Appalachia from its postmodern rubble through fictionalized reconceptualizations of our region’s history, shifts in our collective consciousness from anthropocentric to ecocentric, and subversions of the heteronormative discourse of our internal colony through explorations of the psychosexual. The contemporary Appalachian texts that exemplify these abilities are Ron Rash’s The Cove, Barbara Kingsolver’s Prodigal Summer and Jeff Mann’s Loving Mountains, Loving Men because each represents a paradigm shift within their own aesthetic metanarratives in Appalachian literary history.

Full textAbstract:
Numerous studies have pointed to the historiographic and metafictional aspects of Ian McEwan’s and Graham Swift’s fiction, although few have examined the connections between McEwan and Swift. This study develops from that work by proposing that McEwan’s and Swift’s fictions explore similar themes, beyond those of just history and metafiction. By situating McEwan and Swift as postmodern writers who are strikingly intertextual, in the sense initially coined by Julia Kristeva, this study will show that both authors are deeply concerned with the violence of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, and the role that violence has played in the failure of metanarratives, as well as the resulting terror subjects face as they seek replacements for the personal authenticity, legitimacy, and meaning once provided by totalizing metanarratives. This study also illustrates that McEwan and Swift recognize the persistence of the metanarrative of science, as well as the psychic violence inherent in trying to replace metanarratives with received literary traditions. By developing on these ideas, this thesis argues that McEwan and Swift are actively engaged not only in exploring the anxiety subjects face as they realize there is nothing left upon which they can base their personal legitimacy, but also that the authors are suggesting there is no easy replacement for the lost, albeit fictitious, authenticity once situated in metanarratives and received genres. Finally, this paper will demonstrate that while these two contemporary novelists significantly problematize narrative and narrative frameworks, McEwan and Swift ultimately convey only one sure method to cope with the mourning and terror of the postmodern condition: continue writing.

Full textAbstract:
Memorial do convento (1982), História do cerco de Lisboa (1989) e O homem duplicado (2002) são as obras de José Saramago (1922 - 2010) sobre as quais se debruça esta tese. Os romances pertencem a dois diferentes momentos da produção literária do autor, e a eleição deles se justifica pela tentativa, empreendida por este estudo, de estabelecer um panorama comparativo que permita analisar as diferenças e as semelhanças de recursos que compõem a retórica narrativa empregada por Saramago. A metanarratividade e as inserções dramáticas, exercitadas por um narrador todo poderoso e pluralizado, são observadas e analisadas, durante o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa, como dois dos principais estratagemas que são comuns aos romances de Saramago e que contribuem para o estabelecimento temático-estrutural de um conflito constantemente explorado nos romances do autor: aquele entre Eu/Outro/Mesmo. Utilizando-se da metanarratividade, o narrador de Saramago se insere e se posiciona criticamente em uma tradição narrativa frequentemente evocada e deteriorada. Os romances do escritor português não se constituem senão em um diálogo crítico contínuo com as narrativas que os precederam, sejam elas historiográficas ou ficcionais. Ao mesmo tempo em que onisciente, uma vez que passeia pela cabeça das personagens e pelo passado/presente/futuro narrativos, o narrador saramaguiano se corporifica dentro do universo ficcional, simulando, já que cerceado pelo sensível, a sua própria limitação diante de um encadeamento de acontecimentos mais largos do que aqueles que o narrador é capaz de acompanhar por meio da visão/audição. A observação e a analise das manifestações metanarrativas e das inserções dramáticas são demonstradas, durante o desenvolvimento deste estudo, como os estratagemas pelos quais se confrontam: Vida e Narrativa, História e Ficção, Passado e Presente. As fricções entre essas categorias e a identificação crítica de suas semelhanças revelam a sombra do Mesmo, da impossibilidade de serem singulares e, por esse motivo, principalmente no que diz respeito à História, da impossibilidade de serem apreendidas como veiculadoras de verdade única e incontestável. A retórica de persuasão impressa nos romances de José Saramago, fundada em um narrador consciente do papel de sua narrativa e paradoxalmente onisciente e limitado, fabrica e sugere a sua própria retórica de leitura, em que se absorve para o universo crítico-ficcional o seu Outro: o leitor.Memorial do convento (1982), História do cerco de Lisboa (1989) and O homem duplicado (2002) are José Saramagos (1922 - 2010) works on which this thesis focuses. The novels are from two different moments of the authors literary production and their choice is justified by this study attempt to establish a comparative panorama that allows an analysis of the differences and similarities of resources that compose Saramagos rhetoric narrative. The metanarrativity and dramatic insertions, exerted by a powerful and pluralized narrator, are observed and analyzed, throughout this research development, as two of the main stratagems common to Saramagos novels and which contribute to the thematic-structural establishment of a conflict constantly exploited in the authors novels: the one among I/Other/Same. By using metanarrativity, Saramagos narrator inserts and positions himself critically in a narrative tradition frequently evoked and deteriorated. The Portuguese writers novels constitute a continuous critical dialogue with the narratives that preceded them, whether they are historiographic or fictional. While omniscient, once he is aware of the innermost thoughts and feelings of all characters as well as the past/present/future narratives, Saramagos narrator embodies himself in the fictional universe simulating, since he is curtailed by the sensitive, his own limitation in the face of a chain of events broader than those the narrator is able to follow through vision/hearing. Both the observation and the analysis of the metanarrative manifestations and of the dramatic insertions are demonstrated over this study as the stratagems by which they confront themselves: Life and Narrative, History and Fiction, Past and Present. The frictions between these categories and the critical identification of their similarities reveal the shadow of the Same as the impossibility of being singular and for this reason, especially with regard to History, the impossibility of being apprehended as carriers of a single and undeniable truth. The rhetoric of persuasion imprinted in José Saramagos novels, based on a narrator who is aware of his narrative role and is paradoxically omniscient and limited, makes and suggests his own reading rhetoric in which the critical-fictional universe absorbs the Other: the reader.

Full textAbstract:
The original contribution of this thesis is an examination of how the concept of metanarrative can be used to illuminate shifts in popular thought in the Information Age. There is disagreement over what Information Age paradigms signify, and whether a metanarrative can exist. The postmodern dismissal of metanarrative requires re-examination in the face of understandings that have accompanied contemporary technological advancements. Information technology will be used in this study to explain the movement in globalised culture towards metanarrative understandings as technology is the most broadly visible indicator of human advancement. Branching out from a core literature of media and cultural theorists and internet researchers, I also employ analogous understandings of such a phenomenon from tangential theory including philosophy, psychology and natural science.
Observations have been made of a pattern of increased self-referral over recent decades occurring in various disciplines, indicating shifts in the contextualisation of understandings. Our paradigms are becoming more selfconscious as narratives. As humankind’s ideas and capacity to harness understandings of the world continue to develop, we are increasingly engaging with further levels of self-awareness that provide us with the
perspective needed for epistemological shifts. This thesis explores the way in which our advancement brings us closer to a meta-textual awareness. I will argue that this constitutes a shift in our perception towards an initial oneness of cultural narratives. An examination of convergence paradigms in the Information Age can be demonstrated to speak of an underlying metanarrative that fundamentally shapes our constructed narratives.
The institutions constructed by our conscious theorisations are becoming seen as conceits, as the Information Age is illustrating for the public that our notions of discrete concepts are constructed from narratives. The dream world offered by the virtual is ingraining us with the idea of a potential for any narrative to emerge and shape the collective consciousness. I conclude from this investigation that we increasingly have a self-awareness of the narratives we inhabit as constructions, creating a popular conceptualisation of everyday interactions as narratives being acted out.

This work aims to present global history as a subfield of history. It constituted itself in the three last decades incorporating the great issues of the final years of the twentieth century, and seeking to understand also the significance of the events of the 2000s. Therefore, the object of analysis is the global historiography produced between 1990 and 2010. The first chapter will seek to analyze a set of works of this trend in order to present his outlines: tasks, sources, methods, periodization and the strategies of narrative construction that capture and explain globalization; thus exposing thematic preferences of the authors. The second chapter asks about historiographical antecedents that led to the formation of this trend, and traces the history of the tension between cosmopolitanism and parochialism in several historiographical traditions, underlining the first’s suppression since the nineteenth century and its return in the second half of the twentieth century in the current of world history, from where global history emerges. The third chapter addresses the modernity/postmodernity debate documenting how it was present in the formation of global studies in the 1980s and of global history itself in the 1990s. By exposing the debate and analyzing its constitutive role in the trend of global history, it will be possible to show how the latter overcame the dichotomies of the first, incorporating: the critique of eurocentrism and of the nation-state – from postmodern thought; and fundamentally the metanarrative as the mode of writing the history of humanity – from modern thought. Thus this subfield of history recovers and actualizes a modern element through postmodern experience, the result of which is a global metanarrative, more prepared to face the dangers of Eurocentric and nation-state discourse, and more adequate to provide historical meaning in a globalized world.
Trata-se de apresentar a história global como um subcampo da ciência histórica. Ela se constituiu nas três últimas décadas, incorporando as grandes questões dos anos finais do século XX, e buscando compreender também o significado dos acontecimentos dos anos 2000. Portanto, o objeto de análise é a historiografia global produzida entre 1990 e 2010. O primeiro capítulo buscará analisar um conjunto de obras dessa corrente a fim de apresentar seus contornos: tarefas, fontes, métodos empregados, a periodização e as estratégias de construção narrativa que apreendem e explicam a globalização; expondo assim as preferências temáticas dos autores. O segundo capítulo pergunta pelos antecedentes historiográficos que levaram à formação dessa corrente, e traça a história da tensão entre cosmopolitismo e paroquialismo em diversas tradições historiográficas, sublinhando a supressão do primeiro desde o século XIX e seu retorno na segunda metade do século XX na corrente da história mundial, de onde a história global emerge. O terceiro capítulo aborda o debate modernidade/pós-modernidade, documentando como ele esteve presente na formação dos estudos globais, na década de 1980, e da própria história global, na década de 1990. Mediante a exposição do debate e a análise de seu papel constitutivo na corrente da história global, será possível evidenciar o modo como esta última superou as dicotomias do primeiro, incorporando: a crítica do eurocentrismo e do Estado-nação – do pensamento pós-moderno; e, fundamentalmente, a metanarrativa como modo de escrita da história da humanidade – do pensamento moderno. Assim, este subcampo da história recupera e atualiza um elemento moderno através da experiência pós-moderna, cujo resultado é uma metanarrativa global, mais preparada para enfrentar os perigos do discurso eurocêntrico e do Estado-nação, e mais adequada para fornecer sentido histórico num mundo globalizado.
