Abstract:
The aim of this essay is to provide an answer to the question "What is the Meaning of Meaningless sex in Dystopia?". It will show that meaningful concepts such as sexual satisfaction, pleassure, passion, love, bonding, procreation and family are handled as threats in dystopian societies described in well-known novels as We, Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty-Four . It will explain how the conflict between the collective and the individual influences peoples' sexuality. It will also show how leading powers in the three dystopian societies use different methods to remove the significanse and fu

Abstract:
What distinguishes a meaningless utterance from a meaningful term?  While one might say that, within the context of Ruth Millikan\'s teleosemantics, it is a term\'s having a proper function that distinguishes it from a meaningless utterance, I propose that the distinction can be made with reference to the history of the term.  Using evolutionary game theory, I offer a way to clarify the distinction between the meaningless and the meaningful.  I reject the possibility of correlating meaning with an evolutionarily stable strategy as this does not seem to be consistent with how communication work

Abstract:
This thesis employs the literary folklorist methodology to explore personal narratives. Personal narratives told by Elizabeth (Beth) Wyatt Winn were analyzed. It was discovered that these narratives provide an eyewitness account of history, reveal world views, and encapsulate experiences into values and personal meanings. The depth of meaning found in Elizabeth (Beth) Wyatt Winn's personal narratives illustrates the importance of personal narratives in historical research and historical re-creation and simulation. Appendices include several oral interviews containing personal narratives.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the concepts of ‘crime’, justice and punishment through the narratives of male ex‐prisoners. I adopt a critical criminological perspective and seek to humanise those who have been made monstrous by their status as ex‐prisoners by allowing their stories to be heard. I provide a unique examination of ex‐prisoners’ identities and argue that if we allow those who have experienced prison to tell their stories, new theories and counter discourses about prisons and justice can develop. By hearing these stories we are forced to confront the ex‐prisoner ‘other’, and must explain ou

Abstract:
Little is understood about the process by which individuals maintain or lose a positive sense of wellbeing in the face of a chronic disabling condition such as stroke (Clarke, 2003). It appears that the impact of residual impairments and disabilities can pose significant problems for wellbeing in older adults, but the presence of such sequelae is not necessarily correlated with subjective wellbeing – some adapt well while others are devastated by minor sequelae (Clarke, 2003). Additionally, little is known about recovery in stroke survivors in relation to normal ageing processes (Green & King,

The concept of home is integral to much research in the field of refugee studies, which has looked at the settlement of refugees in the new home of exile, return to the lost home and, more recently, a negotiation between two or more homes through transnational practices.

Abstract:
Esta pesquisa analisa, através de uma investigação teórica e a elaboração de um arquivo de memória virtual, as “narrativas de sentido e sem sentido”1 ou as práticas discursivas e simbólicas que elaboram familiares de vítimas designadas por “falsos positivos”2 na Colômbia– considerados como tal pela legislação colombiana, pelos coletivos de vítimas e pelas associações de direitos humanos– como uma procura de cura, memória, “justiça, verdade, reparação e promessa de não repetição”. Estes são aspectos fundamentais que os familiares das vítimas e os defensores dos direitos humanos consideram neces

Abstract:
This thesis interprets and describes older men’s experience of retirement using hermeneutic phenomenology and narrative analysis. The experiences and narratives of nine retired men who all participated in a hobby or enthusiast group were recorded and analysed in order to determine what makes a ‘good’ retirement and the impact of being active in an enthusiasm has on adjusting to retirement. The study is informed by the philosophical phenomenology of Heidegger and the hermeneutics of Gadamer. Narrative analysis was used to uncover some of the meanings the men attached to their current circumstan

Abstract:
This study involves listening to illness narratives embedded in in-depth life review processes. The method of multiple interview and multi-modal analysis and reflective responding utilised in the study aims to add to the existing field of research by expanding the understanding of what it is like to be heard or not heard, for people who are either patients, or family members. The study also aims to demonstrate how self-aware ,compassionate and reflective listening, particularly in healthcare relationships, can allow meaning to emerge from within the illness experience, thus enriching the wellb

Abstract:
My interest in the process and effects of the witnessing act guides the purpose of this study. Here, I initiate a deeper understanding of the vicarious witnessing experience from the perspective of the witnessing participant. My central question is: How do individuals make sense of vicariously witnessing trauma through narrative, visual, and evidence-based representations of traumatic events in the concentration camps of Europe? Vicarious witnessing begins with abstract representations of the event. The evidence is witnessed firsthand, but the event itself is represented through various

Abstract:
This study investigates how young children (five-year-olds) describe and represent their understanding of experience, identity, relationship and place through oral and visual stories that engage them with the real and imaginary worlds. Narrative inquiry enabled me to uncover unrecognized and taken for granted experiences of young children. Through narrative inquiry, children’s experiences were unearthed and translated into stories that led me to inquire about who they are and where they are. The analysis presented in this study was drawn from narratives in play and artworks of five-year-old ch

Abstract:
This qualitative research project is a narrative inquiry into the loss experiences of four bereaved individuals who have lost an immediate family member; one of them is myself. In particular, the meanings assigned to the losses and how those meanings impacted the grieving process were explored by listening to in-depth narratives of the participants’ experiences of loss and grief. A narrative methodology was used, based on a constructivist epistemology that describes a human tendency to put events in narrative forms in order to give them a sense of continuity and meaning.
