Full textAbstract:
La neuromodulation des racines sacrées (NMS) est un traitement de l'incontinence urinaire et fécale proposé aux patients réfractaires aux traitements médicaux. Son efficacité à été démontrée dans le cadre du traitement de l'incontinence urinaire et fécale. Les mécanismes d'action de la NMS restent cependant mal connus. Dans un premier temps, nous avons voulu évaluer l'effet de la NMS sur la sensibilité viscérale dans un modèle de rat sain anesthésié. La sensibilité viscérale était évaluée par mesure de la variation de pression artérielle en réponse à a des distensions colorectales (DCR). La NMS appliquée chez les rats diminuait la variation de pression artérielle en réponse aux DCR. Cet effet était aboli par l'injection intrathécale de naloxone. Nous avons montré par immunohistochimie que la NMS réduisait l'activation neuronale dans des zones impliquées dans la sensibilité viscérale. Enfin, nous avons montré que la NMS augmentait l'internalisation du récepteur Mu opioïde en conditions de DCR. Dans un second temps, nous avons voulu évaluer l'effet de la NMS sur la sensibilité viscérale dans un modèle de sensibilisation croisée vessie-côlon chez le rat anesthésié. Une augmentation de la variation de pression artérielle était observée en comparaison avec des rats contrôles. La NMS diminuait cette variation et l'injection d'un antagoniste des récepteurs Mu opioïdes prévenait cette variation. Une diminution de l'activation neuronale était observée au niveau de la corne dorsale de la moelle épinière sacrée. Enfin, nous avons développé en parallèle un modèle de NMS chronique chez le Rat en réalisant des stimulateurs implantables. La validation fonctionnelle de ce modèle à été faite en mesurant la fréquence de miction après 3 jours de NMS. Une diminution de la fréquence de miction était observéeFecal incontinence remains a therapeutic problem in patients when conservative measures fail and sphincter repair is unsuccessful or inappropriate. Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) is an alternative surgical approach proposed initially to treat urinary incontinence, and has been used for the past decade as a successful treatment of fecal incontinence. Despite its overall efficacy, the mechanisms involved in this symptomatic effect remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of SNS on rat visceral sensitivity. In an anesthetized rat model, mean arterial pressure variation was recorded in response to colorectal distension (CRD) in sham and effective SNS groups. Healthy and cross-organ sensitization models were studied. Characterization of the pathways involved in the effect of SNS was made by injecting pharmacological agents. Central neuronal activation and p-opioid receptor internalization were assessed by immunohistochemistry. In both models, SNS reduced mean arterial pressure variation. This effect was prevented by opioid receptor antagonist. CRD induced a rise in sacral dorsal horn of the spinal cord, parabrachial nucleus and solitary tract nucleus that was prevented by SNS. Finally, SNS induced an increase of p-opioid receptor internalization in a context of CRD. Concomitantly, we developed an implantable stimulating device in order to study chronic SNS on awaken rats. Implantation technique was validated by obtaining tail tremor response and by performing computed tomography imaging. Micturition frequency was assessed in rats undergoing 3 days of bipolar or unipolar SNS. In both groups, SNS reduced micturition frequency

Full textAbstract:
La stimulation électrique gastrique et la stimulation des racines sacrées sont deux thérapeutiques récentes proposées dans le traitement de la dyspepsie fonctionnelle et de l'incontinence anale. Toutefois leurs mécanismes d'action demeurent méconnus. L'hypothèse d'un effet moteur a été rejetée devant l'absence de modification de la vidange gastrique dans la stimulation électrique gastrique et de la contraction volontaire du sphincter anal externe dans la stimulation des racines sacrées. L'objectif de nos travaux était de mieux comprendre les mécanismes d'action de ces deux traitements. Dans notre travail chez le rat, nous avons montré que la stimulation électrique gastrique agit à deux niveaux : au niveau du tube digestif en augmentant l'expression de la ghréline gastrique et en activant les plexus myentériques ; au niveau du système nerveux central et particulièrement dans des structures contrôlant la prise alimentaire et les fonctions digestives avec une inhibition dans le noyau du tractus solitaire et dans le noyau paraventriculaire, et une activation dans le noyau arqué de l'hypothalamus associée à l'augmentation de la sécrétion de ghréline. Nos travaux chez le volontaire sain ont montré que la stimulation magnétique lombo-sacrée exerce un effet inhibiteur sur la motricité recto-sigmoïdienne. Dans notre deuxième travail réalisé chez les patients incontinents, nous avons montré que l’origine neurologique de l'incontinence anale pourrait être un facteur prédictif de l'efficacité de la stimulation des racines sacréesGastric electrical stimulation and sacral nerve stimulation are two recent treatments for functional dyspepsia and faecal incontinence. However the mechanisms of these treatments action are unclear. In particular, the hypothesis of a motor effect of these treatments was not validated since the gastric emptying and the contraction of the anal sphincter were not consistently improved. Thus, the aim of our studies was to investigate the mechanisms of action of gastric electrical stimulation and sacral nerve stimulation. In the first project in rats, we demonstrated that gastric electrical stimulation acts at two levels : in the digestive tract by increasing the expression of gastric ghrelin and activating the myenteric plexus ; in the central nervous system including the structures controlling food intake and digestion such as neuronal inhibition in the nucleus of the solitary tract and in the paraventricular nucleus, as well as activation in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus associated with an increased ghrelin production. Our studies in healthy volunteers showed that lumbosacral magnetic stimulation exerts an inhibitory effect on rectosigmoid motility. In our second work in incontinent patients, we observed that the neurological origin of faecal incontinence could be a predictive factor for the success of sacral nerve stimulation

Full textAbstract:
Introduction : Les lésions de la barrière épithéliale intestinale (BEI) sont impliquées dans les pathologies digestives. La neurostimulation digestive peut avoir une influence sur la BEI. Si la stimulation des racines sacrées (SRS) s'est développée en clinique, son effet sur la BEI n'a pas encore été démontré. Objectifs de la thèse : Développer un modèle préclinique porcin de SRS ; évaluer les effets de la stimulation aiguë; mettre au point des techniques de biopsies profondes en endoscopie pour une étude couplée de la BEI et du système nerveux entérique dans les différentes couches de la paroi colique ; évaluer les effets à plus long terme (7 jours) de la SRS; enfin évaluer chez l'homme les effets de la SRS dans la rectite inflammatoire. Résultats : Nous avons montré que la SRS réduisait à court terme (3 heures) la perméabilité para-cellulaire (article 1). Nous avons ensuite montré la faisabilité de la réalisation de biopsies coliques panpariétales en endoscopie (article 2). Nous avons montré que la SRS à plus long terme (7 jours) ne modifiait plus la perméabilité para-cellulaire, mais prévenait l'augmentation de la perméabilité en situation de stress (adjonction d'un agoniste PAR(2) ; absence de diminution de l’expression de ZO-1). Parallèlement la SRS diminuait l'expression de m RNA d'IL-6 dans un modèle de stress ischémique (culture organotypique)(article 3 soumis). La transmission neuromusculaire était également modifiée avec une hyperexcitabilité neuronale. Enfin, dans un cas clinique (article 4 soumis) la SRS avait un effet thérapeutique chez un patient atteint de rectocolite hémorragique (RCH). Conclusion : Notre étude a permis de constituer un modèle porcin de SRS indispensable à l'évaluation de ses effets sur la muqueuse rectale et la BEI. Nous avons montré un renforcement de sa perméabilité à un stade précoce de stimulation, puis à long terme une normalisation de la perméabilité, mais en maintenant une diminution de la sensibilité de la BEI à l'agression. Nous avons rapporté un cas clinique de RCH améliorée par la SRSAims : Although sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) is a validated treatment option for severe fecal incontinence, its mechanisms of action are poorly understood. The aim of our study has been to develop a preclinical porcine model of SNS and to characterize its effects upon the rectal mucosa in acute and chronic period of stimulation in terms of intestinal barrier permeability and inflammatory response. Methods : A total of 34 animals have been included. Successively, acute 3 hour-period (n=18) and a chronic 7 day-stimulation (n=14) periods have been tested. Rectal biopsies were performed before and after 3h / 7 days stimulation. Paracellular permeability, mucosal morphology, inflammatory cytokines and junction protein have been assessed. Moreover, we evaluated feasibility of colonic full thickness biopsies using dedicated device for wall defect closing, to study the enteric nervous system and intestinal barrier. Finally we report the case of distal ulcerative colitis successfully treated with SNS Results : After 3-hour stimulation (article 1), SNS lead to significant decreasing in rectal barrier permeability, mucosal thickness and mucous discharge (p=0. 03). Bilateral stimulation emphasized this effect as compared to unilateral. After 7-day stimulation (article 2) prevented permeability from increasing after in vitro PAR-2 agonist addition, decreased the IL-6 cytokine mucosal expression in organotypic culture model (p=0. 03) and decreased systemic inflammatory response. Full thickness colonic biopsies are feasible, with complete enteric nervous system and intestinal barrier assessment. Conclusion: Our study confirmed that SNS targeted rectal intestinal barrier properties, and lead to reinforcement of intestinal barrier in response to inflammatory stress. Further indications in inflammatory bowel disease must be considered

Hallstoos, Brian James. "Windy city, holy land: Willa Saunders Jones and black sacred music and drama." Diss., University of Iowa, 2009. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/371.
Full textAbstract:
My dissertation argues that African Americans in the 20th-century connected lynching and other acts of racial violence with Christ's crucifixion, which in turn fostered hope and even interracial amity by linking his resurrection with racial uplift. To illustrate this dynamic, I focus on musician, dramatist, and church leader Willa Saunders Jones (1901-79) and her Passion play, which she wrote in Chicago during the 1920s. Over the course of six decades, Jones produced her play annually in churches and later large civic theaters. Growing in size and splendor, the play remained intimately tied with the Black church. It also bore the impress of Jones's cultural training in Little Rock, Arkansas and Chicago, the city to which her family fled after a transforming brush with racial violence. The rise of her Passion play depended upon her musical success, most notably as a choral director. By focusing on a single cultural product over time and through several disciplinary lenses, my study contributes new insights into the role of sacred music and drama within the African American community.
Offering a brief overview of Jones and her play, my Introduction also articulates the dissertation's two central organizing concepts: the crucifixion trope and resurrection consciousness. Chapters One and Two explain why Americans, especially of African descent, made a link between the suffering of black men in America and the crucifixion of Christ (the crucifixion trope). Chapters Three and Four indicate why Jones considered sacred music and drama to be agents of racial uplift and interracial amity. The final chapter focuses on the theme of Christ's resurrection as a metaphor that animates certain responses to racial trauma (resurrection consciousness). In addition to a wide range of secondary sources, I draw upon personal interviews, court records, genealogical records, the Black press, visual images, song lyrics, correspondence, autobiographies, plays, playbills, school records, television footage, and church publications of the National Baptist Convention, USA. "Windy City, Holy Land" should be of special interest to scholars in African American Studies, American Studies, History, Religious Studies, Theatre Studies, and Women's Studies.

Full textAbstract:
The #noDAPL movement was an Indigenous-led environmental social movement occurring between 2015 and 2017, in which the Standing Rock Sioux and other American Indian tribes comprising the Oceti Sakowin garnered support to oppose the 1,172-mile Dakota Access Pipeline. Pipeline opponents agreed that the pipeline's construction posed a threat to the health and safety of tribal members and other residents of the area and that the pipeline's path crossed previously-designated tribal treaty boundaries, compromising tribal sovereignty. In this body of work, I utilize Facebook data from the Sacred Stone Camp Facebook page to locate and identify collective action frames and core framing tasks, adhering to social movement framing theory. Further, I provide insight into the movement's most used collective action frames and how their use enabled to movement to maintain occupation at protest camps along the Missouri River, garner resources from participants and gain international social support. I also draw on concepts of pan-Indianism and supratribalism to discuss indigenous collective identity, as well as concepts like relational values and Indigenous traditional knowledge to better assess the nuances of Indigenous environmental activism and how this movement evoked discussions of modern day settler colonialism.

Les lésions du système nerveux central, comme la sclérose en plaques, peuvent entraîner des troubles vésico-sphinctériens qui représentent un lourd handicap chez l'Homme. Les mécanismes physiopathologiques sous-jacents sont encore mal connus, mais il est maintenant possible de proposer une stimulation chronique des nerfs sacrés qui permettrait de réduire l'hyperréflexie vésicale. Nous avons utilisé le modèle d'encéphalo-myélite auto-immune expérimentale (EAE) induite chez le rat. Nous avons caractérisé deux états vésicaux distincts. L'hyperréflexie (HR) et l'aréflexie (AR). Nous avons déterminé les caractéristiques, le circuit neuronal et la pharmacologie liés à l'HR. Nous avons montré que l'AR était liée à une sur-inhibition, que nous avons identifiée, au niveau de la corne dorsale. Enfin, la stimulation électrique des afférences sacrées a permis de mettre en jeu un réseau inhibiteur, réduisant l'HR d'une part chez le rat EAE, et d'autre part dans un modèle de douleur (inflammation vésicale)Deseases of the central nervous, as multiple sclerosis, can induce detrusor-sphincter troubles which represent severe disability in Human. Pathophysiologic mechanisms of this troubles are not fully understood, but it is now possible to propose chronic sacral stimulation to decrease bladder overactivity. We used a model of Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induced in the rat. We have characterized two bladder states, detrusor hyperreflexia (DH) and detrusor areflexia (DA). We have determined the characteristics, neuronal pathways and pharmacology of DH. We have shown that DA is associated with over-inhibition, that we have identified in the spinal dorsal horne. Finally, sacral afferent electric stimulation activated an inhibitory pathway in the EAE model, and in a model of pain (bladder inflammation)

Full textAbstract:
The twenty-first century has seen a resurgence of academic interest in biopolitics: the often oppressive political power over human biology, human bodies and their actions that emerges when political technologies concern themselves with and act upon a population as a species rather than as a group of individuals. The publication of new works by theorists including Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Roberto Esposito, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri has furthered academic understanding of biopolitical attempts to ensure an orderly, productive society. Biopolitics bases these attempts upon optimising the majority population’s health and well-being while constructing simultaneously a subrace of unruly, unproductive bodies against which the majority requires securitising. However, despite the still-proliferating and increasingly diverse recent theoretical work on the subject, little material has appeared examining how literature represents biopolitics or how theories of biopolitics may inform literary criticism. This thesis argues for Salman Rushdie’s novels as an exemplary site of fictional engagement with biopower in their portrayal of the increasingly intense and pervasive biopolitical technologies used in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Rushdie has been considered frequently as a novelist who explores political discourses of race and culture. However, analysis of the ways in which he depicts these discourses animating recent biopolitical practices has proven scarcer in Rushdie Studies. This thesis asserts that Rushdie’s novels affirm consistently the desirability of non-racialising polities, but almost always suggest little possibility of constructing such communities. In the process, it will reveal that he represents more numerous and varied forms of racialisation than has been supposed previously. This study considers how Rushdie describes biopolitical racialisation by state and superrace alike, the massacres of subraces that often ensue, how biopower operates and is resisted in space, and the discursive and practical forms this resistance takes. Contrasting Rushdie’s early fiction with his less-studied more recent works, this analysis deploys, critiques and augments canonical theories of biopower in order to chart his generally growing disinclination to depict this resistance’s potential success. This study thus works towards a new biopolitical literary criticism which argues that although the theories of Foucault and others illuminate the ways in which literature represents power and resistance in contemporary politics, narrative fiction indicates simultaneously the limitations of these theories and the practices of resistance they advocate.

Liberation in White and Black studies, respectively, Washington Memorial Chapel (WMC) and The Church of the Advocate (COA), which are two Episcopal parishes in the Diocese of Pennsylvania. This dissertation investigates the ways that the visual culture of these spaces represents and affects the religious, racial and national self-understanding of these churches and their ongoing operations by offering particular and opposing narrative interpretations of American history. These "sacred spaces" visually describe the United States (implicitly and explicitly) in terms of race and violence in narratives that set them in fundamental opposition to each other, and set a trajectory for each parishes' life that has determined a great deal of its activities over time. I develop this thesis by situating each congregation and its development in the context of the entire history of both the Episcopal Church and Philadelphia as related to race, violence and patriotism. WMC is what historian of religions scholar Jonathan Z. Smith calls a "locative" space and tries to persuade all Americans to patriotically covenant with images of heroic "White" freedom struggle. COA is what Smith calls a "utopian" space and tries to compel its visitors to covenant with a subversive critique of the United States in terms of the parallels between biblical Israel and the African American freedom struggle. My analysis draws especially on the theoretical work of Pierre Bourdieu and David Morgan. A major focus of Pierre Bourdieu's work in both Language and Symbolic Power, and The Logic of Practice is the power of group-making. Group-creating power is often exercised through representations that create a seemingly objective sense of group identity and a social world that is perceived as "natural." David Morgan writes that religious visual culture functions as this sort of political practice through the organization of memory among those who are drawn to "covenant" with images. The Introduction of my dissertation lays out the theoretical approaches informing the visual culture analysis of these Episcopal Churches and raises the significant questions. Three main chapters provide: 1) an historical background of patriotism, race and violence in the Episcopal Church and in Philadelphia in particular, and 2-3) a thorough analysis of the history and visual culture of each space in context. A great deal of my analysis will be interpretive "readings" of the visual culture of the aforementioned churches in their larger contexts to explain how the visual culture represents social classifications to affect the constituents religious, racial and national self-understanding, and their ongoing operations by offering particular and opposing narrative interpretations of American history. The project concludes by summarizing the ways that the analysis of these spaces explicates the thesis with thoughts about the implications for the disciplines involved and further research.

Cependant, le mécanismeresponsable de la sensibilisation du tube digestif et de l’appareil urinaire n’a jamaisété étudié.

However,the mechanism responsible for sensitization of the gastrointestinal tract and theurinary tract has never been studied. Given the common innervation of these twoorgans, it is likely that this mechanism involves long-term phenomena of neuro-glialplasticity at the common levels of integration of pelvic sensitivity.The overall objective of this work was to establish and characterize an animalmodel of bladder / colon cross-sensitization, acute and chronic, to better understandthe mechanisms involved in cross-visceral hypersensitivity

Full textAbstract:
Philosophiae Doctor - PhDSouth African society is regulated by inequality and discrimination based on race. Fundamental human rights and privileges have been extended only to a small sector of the population. The majority of South African citizens remain constrained within a context of imposed inferiority in every aspect of their lives. Inequality, entrenched in political and economic apartheid structures, is also reflected in educational provision for Black citizens. Decades of apartheid schooling have resulted in a large population of illiterate, low-literate and educationally disadvantaged adults. Educational, political and economic discrimination all contribute to relegate Blacks to the lowest socioeconomic strata of South African society. Since numerous Blacks, particularly Africans, are restricted from effectively learning in South African schools, there is an escalating need for compensatory adult education Segregation and unequal educational provision have always characterized education in South Africa. The system of apartheid schooling was formalized by the government in 1953 when different education systems for distinct population groups were introduced. Inequalities in the structural features of apartheid schooling were evident in the discriminatory allocation of funds for public education. In 1953 government funds allocated for the education of each White child were approximately R128 (Rands), for every Indian and Coloured child R40, and for every African child R17 (a 7:1 ratio between the 'White and the African allocations). In 1976, the year of uprising by school children in Soweto, the discrepancy in allocation of educational funds had widened to a 10:1 ratio with the White allocation rising to R724, Indian to R357, Coloured to R226, and Africans to only R71 (Horrell, 1982, p. 115). At that time White, Indian and Coloured children were provided with at least ten years of free compulsory schooling. Nonetheless, the unequal distribution of educational funds afforded White children better educational facilities and better qualified teachers than those provided for other racial groups. The deliberate system of uneven educational provision for the various population registration groups was reinforced in the early 1960's with the progressive extension of free and compulsory schooling to Coloureds and Indians. This was done through the Coloured Person's Education Act of 1963 and the Indian Education Act of 1965. Africans, who constituted the majority of the population and who could least afford to pay for education, were not granted free and compulsory education until almost 20 years later. Not unexpectedly, failure and drop out rates among Africans within this system were very high, with the majority of school goers not staying beyond primary school (seven years) (Christie, 1986). Until the 1970's approximately 70 percent of Africans attending schools were attending primary school, and less than 1 percent of Africans were in Matric, the final year of formal schooling in South Africa (Christie, 1986, p. 56).In the late 1970's the White-controlled government was forced to make changes in Black education. In 1976 Black South African school children throughout the country demonstrated to the world their intolerance of the apartheid education system by rising up in protest. Continued school unrest into the 1980's not only revealed the need for an immediate and critical assessment of South African schooling, but also demanded an examination of the whole spectrum of education in South Africa. The immediate government response to these protests took the form of violent repression, student expulsions, school closures, teacher and student arrests, and the banning of 18 Black consciousness groups. Only in 1981 did the government react to the educational crisis in a more conciliatory manner with the establishment of the De Lange Commission of Inquiry. The proposals made by the Commission challenged the fundamental structures of apartheid society. The Commission recommended a single, unitary department of education for all South Africans and a changed school structure. After dragging its feet for two years, the government officially rejected the Commission's recommendation for a unitary education system for all South Africans.

Dans un second temps, une approche consistant à mettre en correspondance de façon automatique le trajet de ponction échographique dans des images de fluoroscopie est décrite puis valisée sur fantôme et Il patients. 2. La ponction des trous sacrés dans le but de placer précisément une aiguille au contact des racines sacrées. Nous décrivons une approche consistant à fusionner des images scanner et échographiques. 3. La reconstruction d'images 3D anatomopathologique de prostate et leur recalage avec des images IRM ainsi que la localisation des biopsies de prostate par voie endorectale afin d'en améliorer la réalisation qui est un geste essentiel au diagnostic de cancerUrology particularly lends itselfto the development Computer Aided Surgery (CAS). Lndeed, the whole of the bodies in which it is interested can be visualized in echography which does not present any side effect and whose last developments make it possible to obtain a voluminal image in real time. This thesis de scribes three clinical applications: 1. The puncture of the kidney : the aim is to reach by percutaneous way a target inside the kidney. A registration between ultrasound and CT -scan images is described firstly by mapping two groups of dots and secondly by an iconic approach. These data are validated on phantom and a healthy subject. Ln the second time, an approach consisting in putting in correspondence in an automatic way the ultrasound puncture tract into fluoroscopy images is described, test on phantom and use with II patients. 2. The puncture of the holes S3 with the aim ofprecisely placing a needle in contact with the crowned roots. We describe an approach consisting in registering CT-scan and ultrasound images. 3. The rebuilding of images 3D anatomopathologic of prostate and their fusion with images IRM as weil as the localization of prostate biopsies in order to improve realization which is a gesture essential for cancer diagnosic

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyzes the colonization and traditional spiritual practices of the Ioway people to show that their traditions have survived the effects of colonization also known as white settlers. I focus on issues of cultural traditional exhibition dance and that complicates the question of the nation-state’s exclusively trying to dissemble the Native Ioway Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska of colonization and the effects on the Ioway people past and present. I use personal experience of being a tribal member to discuss how the tribes’ oral history allows for the preservation of Ioway cultural identity and religious traditions.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores how representations of the Holy Land shaped nineteenth-century Americans' conceptions of racial identity in the emerging United States. In the nineteenth century, Americans physically encountered Palestine for the first time, exploring, mapping, and essentially inventing the Holy Land during a century of U.S. nation-building, expansion, and imperialism. "Sacred Geographies" reveals how the Holy Land provided a durable and fertile resource for writers wrestling with the place of race in the burgeoning nation. Analyzing a variety of "national" writings, including frontier romances, Gothic tales, slave narratives, and domestic novels, I demonstrate U.S. writers' engagement with a rapidly growing Holy Land industry. Attention to this often overlooked fascination with the Holy Land highlights the interdependence of racial and religious histories in U.S. culture. By examining the Holy Land's fundamental impact on U.S. perceptions of racial and national belonging, "Sacred Geographies" exposes the flexibility of the racial categories used to constitute U.S. culture, and it demonstrates the vital role religious identity played in the development of U.S. racial ideologies.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis looks at the reality of the situation of the Tasmanian Aborigines using the theme of the 19th Century genocide of the Tasmanian Aborigines and the Sacred wound in the context of the law and spirituality. The methodology of the lived experience of the author is drawn upon for a legal and spiritual analysis of cases lived by the author, which provide a backdrop to the handing back of certain Aboriginal lands in Tasmania as well as reflecting on the intersection of Aboriginal lore and the legal system. The meaning of these cases goes beyond a rational legal analysis as the idea that genocide is still continuing is a difficult one for Australians to understand due to compartmentalisation between spirituality and the law in the context of modern Australia. The High Court case of Mabo poses a dilemma for Aborigines as it contains an opportunity to move beyond terra nullius thinking, but at the same time it limits claims in a way that continues dispossession and may in certain circumstances disallow aspects of Aboriginal self determination. Within this apparent standoff lies the possibility for a development of the law that can embrace or incorporate the Aboriginal spiritual attachment to the land, ancestors and artefacts. There is no word in the English language that can describe the multifaceted, inside and outside, perspectives required to carry out the required discussion that could bring the law more into tune with the people, the land and the original inhabitants. The spiritual direction of Australia, however, could be affected by the turning away from a material, logical rational perspective to the embracing of connection as a value in itself: to spiritual values and a personal sense of calling. The Sacred wound is the meditation around which the discussion of all these themes of lived experience, the law and spirituality moves and ultimately rests.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
