Greenlee, Christine Lund Koch. "The Constantian orations : a contextual analysis of self-presentation in Libanius' 'Orr.' 59, 11, 61 and 31." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/15923.
Full textAbstract:
A total of sixty-four orations survive from the hand of Libanius. Four of these speeches were delivered under the reign of Constantius II (AD 337-361) and thus form a distinct chronological cluster in the Libanian corpus. The Constantian orations include Or. 59 To Constantius II and Constans (AD 346-9), Or. 11 The Antiochikos (AD 356), Or. 61 Monody on Nicomedia (AD 358), and Or. 61 For the teachers (AD 360-1). This study adopts a diachronic approach and analyses the historical and literary context of each Constantian oration with a particular focus on Libanius' self- presentation. The study suggests that Libanius' self-presentation was characterised by adaptability and versatility; it shows Libanius exploring a range of different genres and communicating with attentiveness to context and audience. The thesis also argues that Libanius' attitude to and engagement with Constantius' court fluctuated significantly from the delivery of Libanius' panegyric in the mid- to late 340s where Libanius supported Constantius after his defeat in the battle of Singara, over Libanius' encomium to Antioch in 356 where Libanius emphasised the strong connection between the Emperor and the city following the devastating reign of Gallus Caesar, to the delivery of For the teachers in 360-361, where Libanius publically voiced his criticism of the Emperor's cultural and religious policies after Libanius himself had lost imperial funding. Furthermore, the study displays the continued importance of oratory in Late Antiquity and emphasises the central role of sophists both as commentators and mediators in society.

Full textAbstract:
Il diritto giapponese dalle prime forme nell’antichità ai codici odierni cambia per molti aspetti. Per questo nonostante il diritto moderno abbia una forma da tratti occidentali spesso nel modo di operare dei giudici e dei procuratori ritroviamo la psicologia del passato in certi aspetti. Il più grande cambiamento del diritto penale risale alla pubblicazione del codice Keiho del 1907 anche se cambiò radicalmente la sua visione nel Giappone post-guerra con l’introduzione dei diritti umani nella riforma costituzionale. Con questi cambiamenti ci fu anche un’evoluzione della società in risposta alla criminalità. Le figure istituzionali volte alla supervisione e al giudizio di chi compie i reati sono attentamente scelte e tendono a portare a termine i casi. Per questo motivo riscontriamo il tasso più elevato di condanna a confronto con altri paesi, a volte però a discapito degli innocenti. Il modus operandi delle forze dell’ordine è cambiato ma ha sempre dei tratti relativi agli usi giapponesi. Questa visione la riscontriamo nell’analisi di un rilevamento relativo all’aumento di criminalità alla fine del 1900 con la risposta pronta del governo per far restare il paese nei primi posti nelle classifiche mondiali in relazione al minor tasso di criminalità.

Full textAbstract:
La tesi è stata scritta durante il mio soggiorno in Giordania, periodo in cui ho prestato servizio di volontariato in collaborazione con Caritas alle famiglie siriane, in particolare nel governatorato di Zarqa e Mafraq. Durante le interviste rivolte alle famiglie nelle comunità ospitanti è più volte emerso che mentre i bambini più piccoli erano iscritti a scuola, il figlio maggiore, di età tra i 13 e i 18 anni, doveva invece lavorare per aiutare il padre a mantenere la famiglia, scegliendo di non continuare il percorso scolastico. Dall’intervista svoltasi con Yumi Matsuda, rappresentante UNICEF ad Amman, il lavoro minorile, insieme al matrimonio delle bambine è il fenomeno più attivo e preoccupante in Giordania, e l’UNICEF ha già iniziato campagne di sensibilizzazione e aiuti alle famiglie per far fronte al problema. Un ruolo fondamentale nella gestione dei rifugiati è svolto dall’UNHCR, per conto del quale ho intervistato Francesco Bert, Senior External Relations Officer ad Amman che mi ha fornito una panoramica generale dei maggiori campi in cui l’agenzia lavora e i servizi che essa offre. L’intervista con lo Zaatari Camp Manager (dal 2014 al 2016) Hovig Etyemezian è stata illuminante per la chiave di lettura che ho deciso di dare alla mia tesi: al di là delle infinite critiche che sono state rivolte al governo giordano, bisogna ammettere che esso, a differenza per esempio dell’Europa, è stato in grado di accogliere un grandissimo numero di rifugiati senza minare la stabilità interna e riuscendo ad evitare il malcontento del suo popolo. Il primo capitolo analizza le relazioni tra Siria e Giordania nella storia, caratterizzate da un alternarsi di rivalità e cooperazione, l’ultima dovuta soprattutto da fattori economici; il secondo capitolo studia la figura del rifugiato nella legge internazionale e l’apparato giuridico che circonda la Giordania nella sua politica di accoglienza dei rifugiati. Infatti, lo stato non è firmatario della Convenzione sui rifugiati del 1951 tuttavia ha ratificato diversi documenti riguardanti la questione, primo tra tutti il Memorandum of Understanding con l’UNHCR. Infine, il terzo e quarto capitolo si focalizzano rispettivamente sul lavoro e sull'educazione in relazione ai rifugiati siriani e sull'influenza che queste ondate migratorie hanno avuto sul mercato del lavoro e sul sistema educativo. La tesi punta ad individuare le strategie per le quali la Giordania è riuscita ad ottenere un equilibrio per il quale non ha smesso di accogliere rifugiati, ma allo stesso tempo non ha trascurato i bisogni della popolazione giordana, tenendo conto anche della limitata disponibilità di risorse e dell’estensione territoriale ridotta. Il Regno Hashemita infatti è il secondo stato più colpito dalla crisi siriana con la seconda quota più alta di rifugiati rispetto alla sua popolazione: la Giordania accoglie circa 762 mila rifugiati.

Full textAbstract:
L’argomento principale di questa tesi è l’analisi della Unione Doganale tra i paesi della Comunità Europea e la Repubblica di Turchia. Tale soggetto risulta interessante essendo la Turchia l’unico paese non membro ad aver stretto un forte rapporto economico con l’Unione, anche a testimonianza della continuità dei rapporti che intercorrono tra le due entità istituzionali.
Iniziando da una contestualizzazione che andasse non solo ad analizzare gli eventi storici, ma anche i climi politici e le situazioni economiche che hanno concorso alla concretizzazione dell’Unione Doganale, l’argomento è stato sviluppato analizzando nel dettaglio la legge, i suoi effetti e punti di criticità.
Si è cercato di riportare non solo gli effetti dell’Unione Doganale sull’economia turca, ma anche le conseguenze sulla sfera politica, legale ed amministrativa dello Stato turco.
Le ricerche si sono basate su articoli apparsi in riviste economiche, di studi politici e di affari internazionali.
Nella prima parte viene presentato un background storico che affonda le radici nel 1963 con la stipulazione del Trattato di Ankara e che ha portato, nel 1996, all’Unione Doganale tra Europa e Turchia come ultima tappa di un importante cammino. Nella seconda parte il Trattato di Unione Doganale viene analizzato dal punto di vista giuridico e legale: vengono riportate le riforme attuate dalla Turchia per armonizzare l’apparato amministrativo, legale e giuridico con i parametri delineati dall’Unione Europea, così come le riforme e gli aggiustamenti ancora incompiuti e necessari. La terza parte considera gli effetti dell’Unione Doganale sull’economia turca, in particolare sul settore dell’industria e sul commercio estero. A conclusione, la tesi prende in esame la situazione attuale sia dei rapporti derivanti dall’Unione Doganale, sia in generale sui rapporti che intercorrono tra Unione Europea e Turchia in un ottica di avvicinamento della seconda alla prima.

Full textAbstract:
Among the diverse fabric of masculinities that prestigious authors such as Pedro Calderon de la Barca, Tirso de Molina and Agustin Moreto weave into their plots, fashion proves to be a common thread and a particularly useful tool. Thus, as I approach the idea of "Fashionable Masculinities" and investigate a few "macho" and/or not so "macho men" in Early Modern drama I hope to go beyond the traditional interpretations, stereotypes and icons often associated with men---in particular, Spanish men in Golden Age drama. This will be achieved by revisiting typical cases and compared through research and documentation of atypical representations of maleness that could be considered displacements and/or subversions of the social matrix. In effect, this study explores how the male ideal is shaped and judged both by the essence of his personality, as well as his physical appearance (i.e.: clothing, hairstyle, mannerisms, discourse and voice). As such, it becomes evident that masculinity is moulded, influenced, enhanced, exaggerated and even muted as it is subject to the whim of different fashions prevalent at a specific moment in time. Moreover, a multitude of social, cultural, racial and historical factors determine the always changing image of the so called "macho man".Therefore, in order to explore distinct representations of masculinity I approach three different comedias by three different playwrights while comparing how the main character's masculinity fared in three very important spaces: physical, social and sexual. I focus my attention on Saber del mal y del bien by Calderon. Secondly, Don Gil de las calzas verdes by Tirso and explored El lindo don Diego by Moreto. Each one the these represents a different degree of palatable male identities given this particular social construct.

Full textAbstract:
Il Giappone, dopo essere uscito distrutto dalla Seconda guerra mondiale, ha avuto una crescita economica impressionante, che lo ha portato ad essere una delle maggiori potenze economiche mondiali. Parallelamente, si è modernizzato anche nell'ambito sociale, riconoscendo una notevole importanza alle questioni della parità di genere. Infatti, dall'inizio della recessione economica del Giappone negli anni Novanta, la forza lavoro femminile ha subito cambiamenti rivoluzionari poiché un maggior numero di donne è riuscito ad avviare una proprio carriera, staccandosi così dallo stereotipo giapponese, che le vuole madri sagge e amorevoli (ryōsai kenbo) e passando dal ruolo di casalinghe, che si occupano principalmente della casa e della famiglia, a donne in carriera, che nella loro occupazione creano nuove identità sociali. Di grande impatto è stata la ratifica della Convenzione contro l'eliminazione di tutte le forme di discriminazione contro le donne (CEDAW) , che ha portato, nel 1986, all'approvazione della legge sulle pari opportunità (Equal Employment Opportunity Law). Nonostante le madri lavoratrici siano supportate e tutelate dalla Legge e dal Governo giapponese grazie ai congedi maternità e ai congedi per l'assistenza all'infanzia e alla famiglia, le aziende, gli stessi colleghi e la società continuano a fare pressione affinché le lavoratrici scelgano un lavoro part-time o addirittura di ritirarsi dal lavoro, rinunciando così alla propria carriera.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis discusses the shadow play in mediaeval Arabo-Islamic societies, and the most outstanding playwright in that genre, Ibn Daniyal (d.710/1310). Despite the lack of other extant plays, it is shown that the shadow play had a long and dynamic tradition in mediaeval Islam, as attested to by various written sources that refer to it through two 'frames' of perception: as allegory and as theatre. These two frames indicate that there is a close link between the intrinsic development of this theatrical genre and the coinage of allegorical expressions geared to the understanding of the cosmological order. The principal features of the shadow theatre are analyzed in the light of theatrical semiotics, focusing on Ibn Daniyal's trilogy Kitab Tayf al-khayal. It is argued that Ibn Daniyal's dramaturgy, emphasizing a collective social experience, relies strongly on the peculiarities of the genre in the process of foregrounding the playwright's ideological concerns. Ibn Daniyal's possible worlds, seeking to harmonize the contending ideologies of Mamluk society, are familiar yet saliently delimited, as the theatrical frame through which they are induced is consciously highlighted.

Full textAbstract:
Esistono delle imprese che, pur essendo legalmente costituite, violano le leggi sugli standard di lavoro e in Giappone gli è stato attribuito un preciso appellativo: quello di black companies. Tali aziende sono definite “nere” in quanto sottopongono i propri lavoratori, soprattutto giovani, a condizioni di sfruttamento lavorativo quali lunghi orari di lavoro, salari bassi, molestie, mobbing ed abusi di potere. L’elaborato indaga i motivi per cui, pur essendoci un sistema che si occupa della tutela dei lavoratori, le black companies riescano frequentemente a mettere in atto pratiche illegali. In tale sistema, infatti, vi sono delle falle e buona parte delle normative sul lavoro è derogabile tramite accordo aziendale. In primo luogo, la ricerca prenderà in esame le caratteristiche e le peculiarità delle aziende nere. In seguito, vi sarà una disamina del sistema legislativo e di controllo per la tutela del lavoratore, con particolare attenzione alle principali leggi che regolano i rapporti lavorativi ed il sistema di ispettorato del lavoro. Si considereranno, inoltre, le misure adoperate dal governo giapponese e da altre organizzazioni per far fronte al problema delle black companies, ed i recenti sviluppi nel diritto del lavoro. L’elaborato passerà poi ad un’analisi delle criticità del sistema legislativo e di controllo, evidenziando le motivazioni per cui questo possa essere inefficace nella prevenzione delle pratiche illegali. Per concludere, si esaminerà il caso particolare dell’azienda Watami, catena di ristoranti che ha fatto scalpore per essere stata nominata due volte consecutive come “l’azienda più malvagia” del Giappone.

Full textAbstract:
This study politicizes the mixed relationship in Israeli-Palestinian literature. I examine Arab-Jewish and interethnic Jewish intimacy in works by Palestinian national poet Mahmoud Darwish, canonical Israeli novelist A. B. Yehoshua, select anthologized Anglophone and translated Palestinian and Israeli poetry, and Israeli feminist writer Orly Castel-Bloom. I also examine the material cultural discourses issuing from Israel’s textile industry, in which Arabs and Jews interact. Drawing from the methodology of twentieth-century Brazilian miscegenation theorist Gilberto Freyre, I argue that mixed intimacies in the Israeli-Palestinian imaginary represent a desire to restructure a hegemonic public sphere in the same way Freyre’s Brazilian mestizo was meant to rhetorically undermine what he deemed a Western cult of uniformity. This project constitutes a threefold contribution. I offer one of the few postcolonial perspectives on Israeli literature, as it remains underrepresented in the field in comparison to its Palestinian counterparts. I also present the first sustained critique of the hetero relationship and the figure of the hybrid in Israeli-Palestinian literature, especially as I focus on its representation for political options rather than its aesthetic intrigue. Finally, I reexamine and apply Gilberto Freyre in a way that excavates him from critical interment and advocates for his global relevance.

A presente dissertação visa sistematizar o estudo da orientação jurisprudencial denominada pelos integrantes do Supremo Tribunal Federal de ofensa reflexa ou indireta à Constituição, analisando sua conformidade com o texto constitucional brasileiro de 05 de outubro de 1988. Partindo do problema fundamental da pesquisa consistente no questionamento se é compatível com a ordem constitucional vigente a partir de 1988 a aplicação da orientação jurisprudencial da ofensa reflexa à Constituição de 1988 pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) nos casos de controle difuso realizado por meio do Recurso Extraordinário a pesquisa se desenvolve apresentando preliminarmente a metodologia utilizada após inicia o estudo sobre as competências do STF e sua natureza jurídica. Prossegue adentrando na discussão sobre denominada “jurisprudência autodefensiva” enquanto conjunto de decisões em cuja interpretação os membros do STF reduzem o espectro de incidência de normas constitucionais fundantes do sistema jurídico brasileiro analisando sua ocorrência e sobretudo suas razões. Por fim na parte central do estudo a discussão se volta exclusivamente para a ofensa reflexa ou indireta como destacada forma de jurisprudência defensiva analisando seu surgimento no controle concentrado de constitucionalidade passando a incidir no controle difuso de constitucionalidade e a partir de dados objetivos sobre a capacidade do STF busca analisar o fenômeno decisório de forma razoável avaliando inclusive casos paradigmáticos. Conclui-se de forma crítica mas com a apresentação de propostas para tentativa de solução ou pelo menos mitigação do problema.

Full textAbstract:
In the Islamic tradition, as in other religious traditions, female saints are relatively few and not much scholarly attention has been given to them. Fatimah, the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, is one such example. It is, however, a point of interest in her case is that in the twentieth century she has captured the attention of writers of Muslim religious literature to such an extent that there now exist at least eleven fairly recent biographies of her in Urdu, English, Arabic and Persian. This is remarkable, given that the earliest sources of Islamic history contain only a minimal amount of information on her. These modern biographies present Fatimah in a manner which interweaves historical information with hagiographic accounts, thus reinforcing her status as a saint.This thesis attempts to identify, from the earliest available sources, the details concerning Fatimah as a historical person but ultimately shows that there is little real evidence for her life and even what facts do exist are the subject of controversy. Following this it examines the growth of the hagiographical tradition which created out of her a true Muslim saint and discusses its significance particularly for the Shi'ah. Finally, the conclusion presents some of the possible reasons for Fatimah's exalted status and for the resurgence of interest in her in the context of the modern Islamic world.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the possible creation of a new categorization of American Literature as presented in the Andean novel El pez de oro: Retablos del Laykhakuy (1957) by Gamaliel Churata. In El pez de oro, Gamaliel Churata presents a strategy for the recuperation of native Andean cultural agency that enables the Andean subject to reclaim traces of their ancestral past under more verisimilar and verifiable terms. Churata argues that through a recuperation of native language and its infusion into the body of the major colonial language, Spanish, the Andean subject is equipped with a new culture producing tool that enables the recuperation of language, agency, history, and, ultimately, representation and inclusion within cultural and political institutional frameworks. By introducing his own function of bilingualism, vernacular language, and mythological infusions into the body of colonial letters, Gamaliel Churata is able to destabilize and disrupt colonial historical and textual authority to the point where the invented concept of America and the colonial product of American identity can be re-examined. Through this examination emerges a new option for the categorization of American identity as an aesthetic construct. Within this new categorization of aesthetic American identity, the Andean subject can begin his own process of self-identification through his native language toward the production of a future Andean American subject.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the study was to examine nineteenth century church music practices. This was done by 1) studying the attitudes displayed in the church periodical of The Wesleyan Methodist Connection (later, Church) of America; 2) locating and analyzing 44 tunes suggested in Miriam's Timbrel, a hymnal published for the Connection in 1853. This church was formed by people who seceded from a number of different denominations over the issue of slavery. It therefore represented the music practices of several American Protestant groups of the time.Findings1. Vocal music dominated music worship practices.2. Congregational singing was emphasized; every worshipper was urged to participate.3. Choirs were permitted but were often criticized and many thought their membership and music should be carefully regulated.4. There was much controversy over instrumental music; from 1845 to 1899 the church Discipline recommended that congregations dispense with its use.5. The history of each suggested tune was studied. Sources were discovered to be primarily European, either by actual composition or by influence.6. The tunes were grouped in categories according to origin: 1) the "better music" school of Lowell Mason and his coworkers, twelve tunes; 2) parlor songs by known composers, twelve; 3) folk song origin, nine; 4) European sacred sources, six; 5) European secular sources, four; 6) early American hymn tune, one.Similar characteristics were discovered among the tunes.The majority displayed:A 6- or 7-tone scaleMelodic range o f a 7th-9thFour or eight line stanzasConjunct melody linesSyllabic or slightly neumatic settings Common duple, triple, or quadruple meters Repetitive rhythmic patternsGenerally slow harmonic rhythm Simple harmonic structuresMajor keys with less than four sharps/flatsNon-traditional poetic meters.The tunes were relatively simple, easily learned, and in the popular styles, sacred and secular, of the nineteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is the first book-length study of Johannes Schiltberger's Reisebuch, the German-language account of the Bavarian crusader's approximately 30-year captivity and enforced travels in the Middle East under the Ottoman sultan Bayezid I (r. 1389-1403), the Turko-Mongolian warlord Timūr (r. 1370-1405) and his successors. It investigates the Reisebuch's representation of the Orient. My reexamination of the manuscript and print transmission from c. 1450 to 1600 has shown that there were various versions of the Reisebuch in circulation, and I base my reading of the work on this basic multiplicity and variety. This variance is pertinent for a literary interpretation of the Reisebuch because the manifest narrative and material transformations go hand in hand with differing thematic foci, narratological and representational strategies, so that one can confidently contend each version of the Reisebuch negotiates a distinct relationship with the eastern 'other'. I argue that the transmission diverges into three strands as (1) an abridged chronicle that emphasises the complexity of political and military relations in the East; (2) a proto-ethnographic account with a focus on religious diversity; and (3) six paratextual reconceptualisations of the Reisebuch as Turcica in early print. In short, my study engages with the transmission and transformation of material, on the one hand, and with the consequences of this creative process for cultural ideas, on the other: it asks what role 'rewriting' - deliberate and inventive adaptation - plays in the Reisebuch's portrayals of the East. My thesis therefore provides not only the first in-depth reading of Schiltberger's Reisebuch as a 'medieval multi-text' (a term coined by Iain Macleod Higgins to indicate the inter-textuality and intra-textuality common to the medieval travel account) but highlights its representational process as multiple, polyvocal and dynamic.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis seeks to evaluate MacIntyre's claim that recourse to the tradition of virtue ethics in the Aristotelian-Thomist sense is the only viable intellectual option, given the alleged demise of the so-called"Enlightenment Project". It raises a twofold question: First, is it coherent to argue that MacIntyre's reappropriation of an ancient moral tradition is possible? Does such a claim duly reckon with the conditions under which meaningful forms are understood? The first claim being defended is that MacIntyre does not sufficiently respect Gadamer's conditions under which understanding occurs. It is also argued that MacIntyre does not provide coherent conditions for rationally choosing between traditions in order to possibly vindicate them. As such, MacIntyre's re-appropriating of the Aristotelian tradition in moral theory is not coherent and convincing. Secondly, does the dichotomy of "Nietzsche versus Aristotle" represent the only viable alternatives for us in our efforts to continue the enterprise of moral theorising? The second claim being defended is that the dichotomy is not a coherent way of moral theorising. The third claim being defended is that Gadamer represents a viable alternative to the ultimatum in that his thought provides the possibility of a more coherent way of moral theorising than MacIntyre's.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis stel ten doel die evaluasie van MacIntyre se standpunt dat die deugde-etiek van die Aristoteliaanse-Thomistiestradisie die enigste blywende opsie is, aangesiendie sogenaamde"Verligtingsprojek" misluk het. Die tesis stel twee kernvrae aan die orde: Eerstens, is dit sinvol om te argumenteer dat MacIntyre se appropriasie van bogenoemde etiese tradisie moontlik is? Verleen so n aanspraak genoegsame waarde aan die kondisies waaronder sindraers verstaan word? Die eerste standpunt wat verdedig word, is dat MacIntyre nie genoeg ag slaan op Gadamer se opvatting oor die kondisies vir verstaan nie. Daar word verder ook geargumenteer dat MacIntyre nie koherente kondisies aandui vir 'n keuse tussen tradisies nie en as sodanig ondermyn dit die koherensie van sy werk. MacIntyre se appropriasie van die Aristoteliaanse tradisie in morele teorie is dus nie koherent of oortuigend nie. Tweedens, is die dichotomie van "Nietzsche of Aristoteles" die enigste moontlike alternatief vir die voortgaande studie van morele teorie? Die tweede aanspraak wat verdedig word, is dat die dichotomie nie 'n koherente wyse van morele argumentasie is nie. Die derde aanspraak wat verdedig word is dat Gadamer 'n werkbare alternatief verskaf vir die dichotomie. Sy denke voorsien 'n meer koherente wyse om met morele teorie om te gaan as die een wat MacIntyre verskaf.

Full textAbstract:
Ovid’s interest in women and their lives is apparent throughout his texts, but is especially so in the Metamorphoses. This study analyses the violation and violence of women in the Roman poet’s epic and sets out to uncover the governing social mores and values that perhaps shaped the representations of women in the text. It examines how Ovid’s narratives may betray his values and attitudes and those of his audience as well as looking at the various ways that the poet and his rape episodes have been read. After surveying the literature on rape in Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Ars Amatoria and the Fasti, a brief historical context for the Metamorphoses is provided; women’s lives in Rome, the rape laws that existed during this time, as well as Roman sexuality are then examined. After this, a close textual analysis of different rape episodes in the Metamorphoses is presented, including the episodes of nymphs as victims, the silencing of rape victims and sexually ‘aggressive’ women, in order to reveal and examine the patterns that emerge. While Ovid’s intentions and attitudes towards women, as they are found in the Metamorphoses, have been read by some as sympathetic, by others as misogynistic and still others as more neutral, it is concluded that, although there is space for various readings, as a poet, Ovid was ‘opportunistic’ in his choice of materia and, above all, he wished to stimulate and delight his audience. While his personal values may not necessarily be reflected in his works and his readers may never know the ‘true’ intentions behind the poem, the Metamorphoses does hold up a mirror to the negative treatment of women and exposes the gender inequalities that existed during Ovid’s time. As a poet, however, Ovid’s conceived role is to entertain his audience and despite his somewhat problematic treatment of women and rape victims, he does just that.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the Portland music scene as a context in which local identity is constructed and communicated in a globalized world. Specifically, neo-localism is utilized as a theoretical lens through which the impacts of globalization were explored. Portland bands (n=8) were interviewed concerning their experiences in the local music scene. The results showed that participants conceptualized local identity as being 1) based in community, 2) culturally saturated and 3) connected to musical production. Further, results showed that participants were increasingly aware of this local identity, were aware of a global perception of this local identity and were aware of other local identities. Overall the results from this study support neo-localism as a useful conceptual lens for understanding local identity for Portland bands.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines Rogier Van Der Weyden's two unique fifteenth century Crucifixions, The Crucified Christ Between the Virgin and Saint John and The Diptych of the Crucifixion, in light of Carthusian beliefs, practices and relevant devotional texts. The specific text used to support this examination is the Vita Christi by Ludolph of Saxony, which in part deals specifically with the Hours of the Passion. Ludolph's text is given visual form in Rogier's paintings and supports the assertion that Rogier and Ludolph were connected by a shared belief and worldview. Key aspects of Rogier's life, supported by original documentation- familial ties, associates, patrons, use of finances, and his close involvement with the Carthusians-- support this assertion. Other models of connections of belief, evidenced through artist's work, are corroborated in the work of Grunewald, Sluter and Durer.

Full textAbstract:
For every famous author of the twelfth-century renaissance, there are numerous lesser-known writers. Despite being overshadowed by more brilliant scholars or those closer to the centre of important events, their voices add depth to the study of the intellectual history of this period. A founding member of one of the earliest Premonstratensian houses; a highly-educated and prolific author, much in demand as a hagiographer; and a vigorous defender of the clerical order, Philip of Harvengt is one such writer, and a worthy subject for study. This thesis examines two bodies of Philip’s works – his letters and his hagiographical writings – analysing the predominant and recurrent concerns and ideals expressed in them, and the means by which they are expressed. The letters are carefully crafted works, examples of the literary labour which Philip writes is incumbent upon the cleric. The first part of this thesis approaches these letters in chapters on four themes: the role of the ecclesiastical prelate; the importance of learning; the relationship between religious orders; and Philip’s use of the motif of friendship. His hagiographical works, too, are examples of literary artistry, to move as well as to educate the audience. In the second part of the thesis, these will be discussed individually, with the first chapter analysing his vita of Oda, a nun attached to his own house, whom he portrays as a martyr. The succeeding chapters consider Philip’s rewritings of earlier vitae, and show how he managed his sources in order to produce vitae depicting their subjects according to his ideal model of sanctity. Philip’s letters express concerns shared by contemporaries, reflecting anxieties surrounding roles and ideal forms of living in a period immediately following the first fervour of religious renewal. His hagiographies articulate ideals of sanctity, clarifying these when they are not made sufficiently explicit in earlier works, for the better edification of an audience pursuing this vita perfecta. Both letters and hagiographies are designed to exhort and instruct the reader or listener: above all, Philip is a teacher.

Full textAbstract:
Drugs, Danger, Delusions (and Deleuzians?) opens up a philosophical investigation into a series of ‘extreme’ mind and body films drawn from different historical contexts. Through two sections and four distinct chapters, cinema is explored as an agent of becoming that allows viewers to think and feel in an affected manner. Investigating a broad spectrum of extreme narratives focusing on drugs, hooligan violence, insomnia and madness, the project provides a focused historical understanding of the films’ affective regimes and aesthetic agendas. The different lines of flight and escape explored on-screen all somehow appear to spiral around the same issues, concepts, ideas and philosophies. Utilising the cinematic theories of Gilles Deleuze along with his philosophical work co-authored with Félix Guattari, the thesis aims to investigate a range of related films, that in the extreme, reveal underlying models of an integrated or parallel mind and body and immanently embedded identity; wherein the concept of a stable and fixed being is replaced by that of a fluid becoming. All chapters investigate how immanently embedded characters embark upon extreme or dangerous lines of escape, where the reinvention of living and thinking is explored and made visible. The first section investigates a range of ‘head-films’ that take the mind as their theme, but are found to plicate and expand consciousness into the parallel body. The second section investigates extreme body films that push the sensory-motor schema to its limits so that thought, perception and consciousness become affected. The two interrelated sections investigate how the films and filmmakers employ different regimes of mind and body cinema to aesthetically convey and relay these concepts to the spectator. The project thus strives to develop Deleuzian paradigms beyond their original scope to explore parallel-image regimes and sequences that allow spectators to think and feel the films’ underlying philosophical concepts and positions.

Full textAbstract:
RESUMEN: Esta tesis doctoral es una edición crítica del libro X de las Metamorfosis de Ovidio acompañada de un comentario crítico-textual. Se han tenido en cuenta más de 160 manuscritos, que el autor ha colacionado personalmente, ya sea en la correspondiente biblioteca o mediante reproducciones fotográficas. Cabe añadir que algunos de esos testimonios se han colacionado por primera vez y, muchos de ellos, no habían sido leídos desde los tiempos de Nicolaus Heinsius. Asimismo, se han considerado 78 ediciones, desde las principes de 1471 hasta la de Tarrant de 2004 (la edición crítica más reciente). Naturalmente, se han considerado todos los comentarios y toda la bibliografía secundaria de que he tenido noticia. Por lo tanto, la presente tesis se puede considerar el trabajo crítico más completo que se ha elaborado hasta la fecha sobre el libro X de las Metamorfosis de Ovidio.
El objetivo fundamental es ofrecer a la comunidad científica y al lector especializado todo los datos relativos al establecimiento del texto desde los más antiguos manuscritos hasta las ediciones y trabajos críticos más recientes. Se hace, de todos modos, especial hincapié en los esenciales y completísimos datos amasados por Heinsius y Burman en sus respectivas ediciones. Evidentemente, el autor no renuncia a ofrecer un posicionamiento razonado sobre cada uno de los problemas textuales que se comentan. Así, acaba distanciándose en alrededor de 40 pasaje del texto de la edición de Tarrant (2004).
Dado que el texto ha sido transmitido de forma horizontal y que el fenómeno de la contaminación afecta ya a los testimonios manuscritos más antiguos, se emplea el llamado método ecléctico. No es, pues, la procedencia de una lección o su presencia en una fuente u otra, sino el uso y el sentido lo que permite evaluar la plausibilidad de cada opción. En ese sentido, se tratan de reconciliar distintos lemas que, muchas veces, se oponen y contradicen entre sí: 1) Como se trata de una tradición abierta y contaminada, la lección auténtica puede haber sobrevivido en prácticamente cualquier combinación de códices, incluso en unos pocos recentiores; 2) Algunas lecciones atractivas con un pobre apoyo manuscrito pueden responder a intentos (antiguos) de corrección o mejora del texto. 3) El grado de interpolación de los códices ovidianos es seguramente elevado, de modo que la enmienda conjetural puede ser necesaria incluso allí donde el texto transmitido por los manuscritos es aceptable.
Como líneas de investigación futuras, se apunta la necesidad de explorar mejor los mss. más recientes (s. XIV y XV), puesto que algunos de ellos parecen estar vinculados con la tradición de algunos de los mss. más antiguos (aunque no de forma directa). En algunos de esos mss. afloran
de nuevo lecciones que no están documentadas (o lo están de forma muy limitada) en lo que podríamos denominar “vulgata medieval”. Son, quizá, pues, esos códices recientes los que podrían deparar algunas sorpresas.ABSTRACT: This dissertation is a critical edition of Ovid’s Metamorphoses Book X with a textual commentary. The text is based on more than 160 manuscripts, which I have collated personally, either in the library or by photographic means. Some of these witnesses have been collated for the first time and many of them had not been collated since Nicolaus Heinsius’ time. Moreover I have read 78 editions from the two principes of 1471 until the latest of 2004 by J. R. Tarrant (which is also the immediate reference to my text). Additionally every single commentary and critical bibliography at my disposal has been dully considered. Accordingly this dissertation can be considered the most complete critical work ever produced on Metamorphoses Book 10. The main aim of the dissertation is to offer to scholars all the data concerning the establishment of the text from the oldest manuscripts until the most recent editions and critical articles. Special attention is given to the huge amount of information gathered by Heinsius and Burman in their editions. Likewise, the author tries to offer a reasoned account of every textual problem discussed and tries to motivate his choices (he differs in about 40 places from Tarrant’ s text). Since the text has been horizontally transmitted and contamination and interpolation can already be detected in our oldest manuscripts, the so-called ‘eclectic method’ has been used. No acritical preference is given to readings present in our oldest manuscripts (not even to those manuscripts traditionally seen as boni or optimi) nor to any other specific source. It is sense and usage what allows to assess the plausibility of every option. The author has tried to reconcile some the following, and often conflicting, principles: 1) In an open and contaminated tradition the authentic reading may have survived in almost any combination of witnesses, even in just a few recentiores; 2) Some attractive readings with poor manuscript support could actually be (ancient) attempts to correct or embellish the text. 3) The degree of interpolation of the Ovidian paradosis is probably very high. So conjectural emendation might be required even where the text transmitted by the manuscripts is acceptable. Lastly, it is suggested that further inquiries should focus on manuscripts of the XIV and XV centuries. Some of those manuscripts seem to be related, although not directly, to some of our oldest and best witnesses. Readings not attested (or very poorly attested) in the so-called ‘ medieval vulgate’ re-emerge in some of those late witnesses. Maybe some unexpected findings could turn out in those late copies.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses selected paintings and aspects of life of the Italian Renaissance in terms of the aesthetic properties of sadistic and masochistic symptomatologies and creative production, as these have been explored by philosophers such as Michel Foucault, Roland Barthes, Marcel Henaff, and Gilles Deleuze. One question which arises from this analysis, and is considered in this thesis, is of the relation between sexual perversion and history, and in particular between experiences of violence, (dis)pleasure and desire, and historically specific forms of discourse and power, such as legislation on rape; myths and practices concerning marriage alliance; the depiction of such myths and practices in art; religion; and family structures. A second question which this thesis explores is the manners in which sadistic and masochistic artistic production function politically, to bolster pre-existing gender ideologies or to subvert them. Finally, this thesis considers the relation between sadism and masochism and visuality, both by bringing literary models of perversion to an interpretation of paintings, and by exploring the amenability of different genres of visual art to sadism and masochism respectively.

La thèse exploite, pour la première fois, d’exceptionnels manuscrits de l’office cistercien. Comprenant la liturgie cistercienne d’origine messine copiée vers 1136/1140, ces documents ont servi, quelques années plus tard, de brouillons à la réforme liturgique et musicale de Bernard de Clairvaux. Ils ont été partiellement biffés et grattés de façon à correspondre aux nouvelles normes cisterciennes.La principale liasse d’épreuves bernardines, constituée des quelque 185 folios de l’antiphonaire 12A-B de Westmalle, constitue le socle de la thèse et la matière du tableau liturgique général présenté dans l’annexe 3. Cette table distingue les pièces de première main de celles écrites par les correcteurs bernardins. Les autres épreuves, l’antiphonaire 6 de Tamié (Savoie) et les fragments de la Fille-Dieu (Suisse), ont été reproduites dans l’annexe 2. Avec les folios de Westmalle 12A-B, elles sont les seules à conserver une part importante des mélodies originelles, à révéler les corrections et les procédures bernardines. Les analyses codicologique et paléographique des documents, mises en relation avec les données historiques, ont permis de dégager deux phases de corrections et de situer l’achèvement de la réforme bernardine, vraisemblablement à Hautcrêt vers 1143.
Le répertoire de l’hymnaire a été revu (chapitre IV) et celui de la messe, réexaminé à la lumière des reliquats du premier graduel cistercien, jusqu’ici inexploités. Ces bribes intactes ont été confrontées aux équivalents de la deuxième réforme et ouvrent (chapitre III) l’étude comparative des chants de l’office du premier et du deuxième Cîteaux (chapitres VII à X).
Au fil de l’analyse, des échantillons tirés du graduel ou de l’antiphonaire sont présentés dans les tableaux synoptiques rassemblés dans l’annexe 1. Chacun d’entre eux comprend, quand c’est possible, la première version cistercienne originelle reconstituée, la version bernardine et, selon les besoins, un panel plus ou moins important de référents grégoriens (décrits au chapitre VI), destinés à replacer chaque liturgie cistercienne dans son contexte culturel et à en établir les sources.
Ce travail tend à modifier l’image de la réforme bernardine, censée avoir appauvri la tradition grégorienne par l’application stricte des règles musicales. Elle montre que de nombreuses pièces introduites par les correcteurs sont issues de la tradition clunisienne et parfois spécifiquement de la tradition de l’abbaye de Molesme d’où sont issus les pères fondateurs de Cîteaux. Les reliquats de la liturgie molesmienne notée, reproduits en fac-similé (annexes 2) et inconnus jusqu’ici, ont permis d’établir l’existence d’une chaîne de tradition musicale reliant Molesme aux monastères de sa tradition (Montier-la-Celle et Marmoutier) ;et de faire ressortir les liens qui unissent la tradition des premiers moines blancs à de nombreuses corrections bernardines. L’examen du bréviaire Paris 3241, sorti de l’anonymat en 2007 et exploité ici pour la première fois, a en particulier permis de conclure au transfert de pièces et formulaires entiers de la tradition molesmienne vers le deuxième Cîteaux.
Bien plus que la théorie musicale, réputée si importante, mais en réalité modérément appliquée, ce sont la raison pratique, le souci de l’authenticité et de la bonne articulation du texte latin, l’esthétique et la culture mélodique du terroir bourguignon qui ont guidé les choix des réformateurs bernardins. La liturgie messine, adoptée à Cîteaux entre 1108 et 1143, était porteuse de variantes dialectales que les Bernardins ont abandonnées pour se réapproprier leur patrimoine ancestral, marqué par des segments musicaux expressifs et des idiomes caractéristiques du domaine latin.
L’interprétation musicale de spécimens du premier et du deuxième Cîteaux, mis en regard, illustre ce basculement culturel de l’ensemble liturgique « est » vers celui de l’« ouest ». La pochette musicale comprend aussi quelques unica et emprunts traditionnels ciblés qui illustrent la richesse de l’esthétique du deuxième Cîteaux.

Previous issue date: 2009Este trabalho propõe analisar o fenômeno da terceirização desenvolvido ao longo das duas últimas décadas em Bio-Manguinhos. Trata-se de um estudo de caso realizado na unidade de produção de vacinas e reagentes para diagnóstico da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Inicialmente foi realizado um estudo de cenário, analisando a política de gestão do trabalho desenvolvida pelo Estado brasileiro para as instituições públicas. A seguir, a análise passou a verificar a inserção da Fiocruz nessas políticas, desde a sua criação e no decorrer de vigência de diferentes formas de contratação, alternando da extrema rigidez para a total flexibilidade sempre com foco na gestão do trabalho, e, como essas políticas se refletiram no desempenho de Bio-Manguinhos. Baseado no contexto da conformação do Estado e na análise do desempenho da unidade, o trabalho critica a falta de planejamento e de prospecção dessas políticas, que favoreça a inovação de processos, produtos e procedimentos e o desempenho pleno de uma unidade de produção de insumos para a saúde, tão necessários ao atendimento das necessidades da população brasileira. Critica também, a ausência de um modelo de Estado consolidado que sirva de arcabouço à formulação dessas políticas. Devido às fortes críticas dos órgãos de controle acerca da extrapolação dos limites da terceirização praticada nas últimas duas décadas e à falta de definição clara desses marcos legais, o trabalho apresenta uma metodologia baseada nas atribuições dos cargos do plano de carreiras da Fiocruz e culmina com a apresentação de uma matriz de atribuições passíveis de serem realizadas por contratação indireta. Conclui pela necessidade de convivência de dois quadros de trabalhadores: um permanente formado por servidores, estáveis e de carreira e outro flexível, executado por contratação indireta, de caráter eventual, temporário ou de apoio às atividades relacionadas à missão de Bio-Manguinhos. O trabalho ainda sugere a aplicação da mesma metodologia às demais unidades da Fiocruz e que a instituição afirme, frente aos órgãos de controle, quais atividades que ela precisa manter no quadro de servidores permanente e quais ela quer delegar a terceiros sem contudo, ferir a legislação vigente. Por fim, constata-se que a metodologia apresentada ameniza, mas não resolve o problema, dessa forma, recomenda-se à Fiocruz buscar mecanismos que altere o modelo de gestão pelo qual está submetida a fim de viabilizar as duas formas de incorporação de mão-de-obra.

This thesis endeavors to examine Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake from a more scientific angle, proposing that Atwood actually criticizes the biological reductionism prevailing in the contemporary society by writing Oryx and Crake. This thesis is divided into four chapters. In the first chapter, I will present a brief introduction to Margaret Atwood, her latest novel Oryx and Crake, and their relationship to science. I will also offer the concise reviews and summaries of the academic critiques of this novel, and the motivation and argument of my thesis. Moreover, a condensed account of what scientific reductionism is will be given, too. In Chapter Two, I will trace the origin of the biological reductionism prevailing in the present days. I will illustrate how the discovery of genes and DNA structure in the beginning of 20th century influences the development of biology, including evolutionary theories, which formulate the mainstream of biological reductionism. Then, I will introduce two biological concepts that are often criticized for their biological reductionism: one is genetic reductionism, or gene myth in Ruth Hubbard and Ted Peters’ term, and the other is sociobiology founded by Edmund O. Wilson. Lastly, I will prove how Crake, the main scientist in Oryx and Crake, displays these two reductionist biological notions and hence becomes the representative of biological reductionism. In addition, I will also clarify why the Crakers created by Crake are the reification of Crake’s reductionist view of biology. In Chapter Three, I will firstly explain how Jimmy, the best friend of Crake, symbolizes the humanist conception that stresses the difference between humans and other creatures as well as the uniqueness of human beings to resist and criticize Crake’s biological reductionist attitude. Then, I will demonstrate how Atwood reveals her criticism and objection to extreme biological reductionism through subverting the Crakers’ features predestinated by Crake. I will discuss the emergence of curiosity, speculating ability, and deductive reasoning of the Crakers as well as the appearance of religion, art, and leadership among them that are all unforeseen by Crake. The last chapter will elucidate how the end of Oryx and Crake implies Atwood’s relatively optimistic attitude to human crisis of being reduced by reductionist view of biology. Through the open ending of the novel, Atwood provides more possibilities instead of the only absolute future determined by Crake, and hence enunciates her criticism against the extreme biological reductionism and scientific reductionism, which impels her readers to reflect seriously on this issue, too.

Full textAbstract:
The encounter between Spain and the New World --the Americas-- is one of the distinctive historical events of the 15th century. So it is surprising that there is very little reference to the Americas in the many plays remaining from the Spanish Golden Age theatre. This thesis studies six plays centering on the Arauco wars in Southern Chile and the figure of one of the first governors of that country, don Garcia Hurtado de Mendoza. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate to what extent the literary elaboration of the topic contributed to the vision of the New World held by the Spanish public.
The dramatists that dealt with this theme did not have any direct contact with the Americas, therefore their representation of that world was based on oral accounts and literary sources available at the time. Among the latter are the letters of a conqueror, two chronicles, two epic poems and a panegiric text. The first part of this thesis consists of the textual analysis of this literary corpus. The main focus of the analysis is the influence of these sources on the dramas and how the characteristics of each genre contributed to their creation. The analysis of the dramatic works with Araucanian content (five plays and one auto sacramental) forms the second part of this thesis. The approach centers particularly on the representation of the Indian world as the "Other" opposed to the Spanish world. The analysis of these texts shows the subtle evolutionary process by which the treatment of the historical fact --Arauco and the Conquest-- in the theatre contributed to create the "idea" of America held at the time in Spain. Also, the re-elaboration of characters and motives indicates the emergence of native mythical figures which have become part of the historic and cultural patrimony of Chile today.

Full textAbstract:
The Arabian Nights is the most famous Medieval Arabic collection of tales that brings together stories from different literary traditions, mainly Indian and Persian. It is a masterpiece of world literature, and there is an extensive body of scholarly work on it. Following its “rediscovery” by the French orientalist A. Galland in the 1700s and the publication of the printed Arabic editions in the 1800s, the collection became subject to prolific criticism. The best-known narrative of the Arabian Nights is the frame story of the collection, and since the late 1970s, a new line of critical scholarship has emerged, providing multiple interpretations of this element of the text. Perhaps inspired by the rewritings of the frame story in modern and contemporary fiction, this new criticism has proposed topical readings which have been inspired by feminist and gender approaches (Grossman, 1980; Malti-Douglas, 1991; Sallis, 1990), psychoanalytic theories (Beaumont, 2002; Clinton, 1985), and sociocultural and postcolonial perspectives (Mernissi, 2001; Shamma 2017). The main subject of these readings falls within the realm of otherness, and specifically of “sexual and gendered otherness”, i.e., the representation of the other and the relationship with the other sex. This research project identifies in the question of otherness the starting point from which to undertake the scrutiny of the academic literature on the frame story and offer a documented and critical overview of the main trends in modern and contemporary scholarship. In order to achieve this goal, this study proposes an innovative methodology which first compares the various versions and translations of the opening narrative of the Arabian Nights, and then investigates the critical readings, comparing them with the version(s) and/or translation(s) of the frame story they have taken into consideration. This preliminary phase of research sees its continuation in a more substantial discussion about how the readings have presented the question of the relationship with the other sex in the opening narrative of the AN. This study is also the first attempt to offer an annotated outline of the modern and contemporary criticism of the frame story concentrating on both English (i.e., written in English) and Arabic (i.e., written in Arabic) scholarship.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis I argue that Cormac McCarthy's 1985 novel Blood Meridian serves as a critique of the American Western mythos by collapsing aspects of myth, ideology, and the sublime into the question of violence's relationship to language. In explicating the novel, I demonstrate how the ironies staged between the character of the kid and the novel's narrator and the ironies represented in the language and characterization of Judge Holden reveal McCarthy's critique by pointing toward the violence inherent in the language of myth. Along with this discussion of myth and ideology, I also analyze how the figuring of violence as sublime in the novel gets coupled with moments where characters exhibit either an unconscious desire for language or a marked absence of language. The significance of these moments, I contend, extends McCarthy's critique of the American mythos by undermining the Western genre's trope of the stoic hero while also exposing the ways in which the novel draws together the nature of language and the nature of violence. Blood Meridian thus serves not as a libratory revisionist critique that seeks to re-write the American mythos but as a much darker meditation on the ubiquity of violence—a violence that manifests itself all too often in textual form.Graduation date: 2012

Full textAbstract:
Christopher Smart's prose journalism has been absurdly neglected in scholarship. Until very recently, Smart's journal The Midwife, or, the Old Woman's Magazine had rarely been granted any extensive research or scholarly exploration. Min Wild's 2008 publication, Christopher Smart and Satire: 'Mary Midnight' and the Midwife, was the first book to look at the journal in detail, while Smart's other journals, including the Student and Lilliputian, remain rarely read or studied in any depth. This thesis seeks to redress that neglect through a literary reading of the Midwife, and an historical contextualisation. The thesis investigates the work thematically and discusses some themes that have been neglected in scholarship on the Midwife. Where they overlap, or provide additional information, Smart's work in the Student, the Lilliputian, and the Universal Visiter are also considered. If possible I have suggested attributions for anonymous articles and correlated themes with Smart's better known works. In Chapter One, I have given an overview of the four journals with which Smart was associated as editor during the limited period of 1750-1753. I discuss the contributors and co-authors, as well as the publisher, John Newbery. In Chapter Two, I explore the influences on the creation of Mary Midnight, the purported editor of the Midwife, including her beginnings in the Student. Chapter Three discusses politics and gender in the Midwife, including the foreign politics within Richard Rolt's contributions. Chapter Four explores the Midwife's views on social issues of the time, and social justice. Overall, the thesis aims to open up the world of Mary Midnight and to understand the Midwife in relation to the culture in which it has a provenance.

Full textAbstract:
Bibliography: leaves 289-298Source-criticism of the Pentateuch suggests that the priests (Source P) alone authored the Holiness Code – the premise being that Source P forms one religious, literate and elite group of several. Through the endeavor to redefine Israelite identity during the Neo-Babylonian Empire of 626–539 BCE and the Achaemenid Persian Empire of 550–330 BCE, various ideologies of Israelite identity were produced by various religious, literate and elite groups. Possibly, the Holiness Code functions as the compromise reached between two such groups, these being: the Shaphanites, and the Zadokites. Moreover, the Holiness Code functions as the basis for the agreed identity of Israel as seen by the Shaphanites and the Zadokites. Specifically, in Leviticus 19:1-19a – as being the Levitical decalogue of the Holiness Code, and which forms the emphasis of this thesis – both Shaphanite and Zadokite ideologies are expressed therein. The Shaphanite ideology is expressed through the Mosaic tradition: i.e., through the Law; and the Zadokite ideology is expressed through the Aaronide tradition: i.e., through the Cult. In the debate between the supremacy of the Law, or the Cult – i.e., Moses or Aaron – the ancient Near Eastern convention of the ‘rivalry between brothers’ is masterfully negotiated in Leviticus 19:1-19a.
