Texto completoResumen
This thesis examines the Lebanese-Syrian Orthodox community of Montreal between 1905-1950 primarily through information found in the marriage registers of the two Orthodox churches. The first purpose of this study is to evaluate the importance of the three pillars of this ethno-religious group's culture--religion, family and hometown. The second purpose is to draw a composite of this immigrant community based on the information provided in the valuable source of an immigrant church's records. This study serves as a beginning for further studies of the Lebanese-Syrian Orthodox community in Montreal, this ethno-religious group's largest and founding community in Canada.

Texto completoResumen
Bethlehem is a place constituted by the innumerable movements of its inhabitants and their activities over millennia and, because these lines of movement, the connections produced by them, and the meanings associated with Bethlehem have recently undergone rapid and radical change, some of its inhabitants have experienced a “displacement in situ” indicated, not least, by their narratives. This thesis considers Syriac Orthodox Christians' “self-articulations” in the context of upheaval, “articulation” being suggestive of both connection and narration. Focussing on narrative reveals the dialogic contingency of self-articulation, especially in the situation of uncertainty and change. Out of these narratives emerges a sense of “being Syrian” that resembles participation in a Syrian “body” which persists despite the violence to which it has been subject. This “corporeal” or even “orthodox” logic of connection and belonging is arguably made more likely by active participation in the Syriac Orthodox Qurbono (Eucharist), which is best thought of as a particularly attentive encounter: with present and absent others, who comprise the Syrian body through time; and with the God who animates it. Therefore, for some, this sense of belonging to a Syrian body is refracted through Christological and ecclesiological lenses. A conflict situation reveals that not all Syrians share the same logic of articulating themselves in Bethlehem, however: alongside the corporeal logic suggested by the Qurbono is a more “detached” logic reflective of liberal conceptions of personhood and authority, and “modern” conceptions of society-for-itself. Finally, this thesis proposes that an anthropological focus on the ways in which Christians imagine belonging to “the church”, local and universal, is fruitful for those researchers seeking to incorporate Christian categories into their representations of Christian lives.

Texto completoResumen
"Sur le chemin de Jerusalem" is the comprehensive examination of three unknown mosaic pavements, exhibited in the Museum of Maaret-en-Nouman in Northern Syria. A comparison with other known documents brings together elements of evidence to their provenance, to the type of building they had adorned, and to the underlying links between architectural organization and mosaic ornamental decoration in an ecclesiastic environment. The picture catalogue detailing the size and composition of each of the three mosaics dates the iconographic material from the third quarter of the fourth century to the first half of the fifth century, that period in time which witnessed the Christianization of the North Syrian countryside and a great development of Christian pilgrimages to the Holy Sites of Palestine.The mosaic of Temanaa features the cosmographic representations of late antique Near East. With the mosaic of Beseqla, we find the earliest dated example of a decorated pavement of a paleochristian baptistery. Tell Aar is the fragmentary mosaic of an unusually early example of a five-aisle transept basilica housing apostolic remains.
The exceptional quality of these documents demonstrates how close attention to material history can effectively increase our knowledge of the growth and expansion of early Christianity.

Texto completoResumen
As the war in Syria is about to enter its seventh year, Syrians continue to head towards Europe to seek safety and protection. This challenges European countries to provide urgent relief and services including education for a high number of Syrian refugees every year. However, the journey of Syrian refugees does not end with their arrival to safety. The refugee experience presents many difficulties including issues of wellbeing and self-worth. This qualitative comparative study examines the different platforms and solutions Mobile Learning could offer to refugees. In addition to that, it also discusses the possibility of leveraging Mobile Learning as a mean for Syrian refugees in Europe to achieve a sense of self-worth from the Kantian perspective of agency. The study starts with a comprehensive overview of the meaning of the term ‘refugee’ and the refugee experience, then it moves on to identify Mobile Learning and its impact and relationship to the recent refugee crisis. Then, the study introduces the Kantian philosopher Christine Korsgaard and her idea of agency, action, identity and value. The literature review after that discusses Korsgaard’s philosophy and links it to refugees and Mobile Learning. After viewing the research methods and methodology, the study comparatively analyses and discusses findings drawn from semi-structured interviews of 10 participants pertaining to the use of Mobile Learning platforms for higher education and language learning. The implications of these findings are that Syrian refugees in Europe have access to Mobile Learning platforms that vary in use and quality. However, when these platforms are used successfully, they do have the potential to support refugees’ sense of self-worth. The study then ends with a conclusion and suggestions for future research.

Anouti, Hani. "The Politics of discrimination: a comparative study of the situation of Christian Arab minorities in Egypt and Syria". Doctoral thesis, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/10803/543838.
Texto completoResumen
This thesis investigates the puzzle of why the level of discrimination against religious minorities was higher in Egypt than in Syria, and therefore why the transition from "Arab" nationalism to "re-Islamization" of politics was greater in the first country than in the second (at least prior its civil war). The answer is the different survival strategies used by these dictatorships in front of the emergence of a strong Islamist opposition that questioned the existence of these secular Arab regimes. In addition, these strategies depend on the congruence or not between the religious identity of the ruling elites and the majority of the population. When the elite in power have the same religious identity of the majority combined with an important Islamist challenge, the levels of religious discrimination will be high. When the elite-population identity does not match, or when the Islamist challenge is contained, religious discrimination will be smaller.Esta tesis investiga la paradoja de por qué el nivel de discriminación contra las minorías cristianas árabes fue mayor en Egipto que en Siria, y por tanto por qué el paso del nacionalismo “árabe” a la “reislamización” de la política fue mayor en el primer país que en el segundo (hasta el comienzo de su Guerra Civil). La explicación se encuentra en las diferentes estrategias de supervivencia utilizadas por sus dictaduras ante la aparición de una fuerte oposición islamista que cuestionaba la existencia de los regímenes árabes seculares. La variación de estrategias se debe a su vez a la mayor o menor congruencia entre la identidad religiosa de las élites gobernantes y la mayoría de la población. Cuando la identidad religiosa población-elite coincide y se da un importante desafío islamista, la discriminación será alta. Cuando no coincide, o no se da el desafío islamista, la discriminación religiosa será menor.

Texto completoResumen
‘Thus I beheld, at last, the goal of my journey from Luristan, and was not disappointed. Glorious indeed is this Kurdistan world of mountains, piled up in masses of peaks and precipices, cleft by ravines in which the Ashirets and Yezides find shelter, every peak snow-crested, every ravine flaming with autumn hints; and here, where the ridges are the sharpest, and the rock spires are the imposing, is the latest refuge of a Church once the most powerful in the East’. Isabella Lucy Bird was one of a number of travel writers and missionaries, whose attraction to the allure of the Orient or whose sense of evangelical mission, had led them to traverse the mountainous and largely impervious regions of Northern Kurdistan in the Nineteenth-Century. Her travel diaries, like so many of the accounts of this Kurdish world of mountainous peaks and precipices, would describe a land of ‘antique heritage’, one which had been isolated as a consequence of its physical geography, and insulated from the influences of the Mesopotamian plains by the ‘fierce behaviour’ and ‘lawless habits’ of its marauding Kurdish tribes. Up there in the mountains of Kurdistan was a window into what was perceived to have been a far older Mesopotamia; a landscape which in its antiquity “presented to the eye so many of the aspects of the biblical Eden”. Indeed, to travel through the environs north of the city of Mosul had been like ‘traversing lands of biblical scenes’, to view the mountains of Hakkari ‘like being carried back thousands of years on the wings of time’. This ‘Mesopotamia of the mountains’, would seem to have preserved a rich and evocative landscape for the imaginations of those familiar with the narratives and landscapes of Old Testament narratives, but as Bird and a number of other travellers were to imply, the isolation of this seemingly ‘antique’ landscape had also confined and thus preserved the remnants of an equally antique community, one which had professed a belief in Christ for Fourteen centuries. According to journal entries and missionary reports, those remnants of an antique Christian community among the mountains of Hakkari were ‘a very different people’ to those who had professed a faith in Christ upon the alluvial plains of the Mesopotamian valley; both on account of the nuances which defined their various doctrines, and the seemingly primitive quality of their customs, rituals and speech. Where the promise of association with a European power had converted a large number of those living on the Mesopotamian plains to the doctrines of Catholicism, this forbidding and largely inaccessible landscape of mountain peaks and precipices had seemed to preserve fragments not only of a distinctly Oriental Church, but of a Church which had maintained tangible links to the earliest threads of Christianity in Mesopotamia.5 Bird’s journals would describe largely ‘unintelligible conversations’ peppered with a vocabulary similar to that which had been spoken by Christ, and a variety of customs which had been a ‘touching reminiscence’ of those to be found within Old Testament narratives: the fantastically romanticised accounts of a Victorian orientalist perhaps, but Bird was by no means alone in suggesting that she found there to be ‘something strikingly biblical’ about so many of the customs and rituals of these ‘mountain Christians’. 6 Austin Layard, a contemporary and fellow traveller, would similarly assume that their ignorance of the ‘superstitions of the Church of Rome’ and their ‘more simple observances and ceremonies’, may ‘clearly be traced to a more primitive form of Christianity’; one which in its simplicity, seemed uniquely untouched by the ecumenical councils and creeds which had elsewhere defined the Christian faith during the centuries of its founding. Where the missions of the Catholic Church had been entirely confined to the urban areas of the Mesopotamian plains, particularly Amida or modern day Diyarbakir, the mountains of Kurdistan were seen by those 19th Century missionaries and explorers to be the last refuge of a Nestorian, and Oriental Christianity, one which had preserved links to a more primitive expression of the faith. 6 Bird, (1891), p.242. The same assumptions were also made of those Jewish communities living within the remote and mountainous world of Kurdistan. Owing to the rugged nature of the area, as well as the al constant threat of brigandry on the few and potentially perilous roads which penetrated this otherwise inaccessible world of mountain peaks, the Jews of Kurdistan were assumed to have preserved a primitive, though somewhat debased expression of a more ancient Judaism. Those few Jewish travellers who visited Kurdistan in the 19th Century, such as I. J. Benjamin, would describe their regret at the shallow knowledge expressed by these communities in matters of Jewish Law, especially when compared with their relatively near metropolitan communities of Baghdad and Damascus, but also their excitement at the seemingly ancient practices and customs with which they expressed their Jewish faith. Benjamin writes of his excitement at having witnessed one seemingly biblical custom in particular, suggesting, ‘where I went during harvest time, I found a custom strictly observed by the Jews which brought to my mind the precepts of the bible. Neither the ears of corn, nor the grapes, nor fruits are wholly collected, but the portion of the widows and orphans is always left, it is even allowed to go into a ripe cornfield to break the sheaves, and there and then to boil the corn in water, but the ears of corn must not be cut, neither may they be carried away’. Practices such as these had derived from ancient oral traditions, and had been transmitted from generation to generation, rather than in learned abstract precepts. Theirs was an ancient story - one which spoke of the legacy of a man whose doctrines had rocked the Christian world in the Fifth Century. His name was Nestorius, a Patriarch of Constantinople, whose doctrines had attempted to negotiate some of the provocative questions facing the Christian church in its formative period, quite controversially, how one was to understand the humanity of Christ, and how one was to refer to his relationship to the Virgin Mary. At the first iii Contextualising Syriac Anathema After the lapse of a long history defined by schism, excommunication, Muslim conquest and more recently Catholic mission, here was a Church and a community high up in the mountains of Kurdistan whose ways spoke of the legacy of an entirely independent and ancient Oriental Christian tradition, one which had been born in the theological environment of Late Antiquity, and as a consequence, at least in part, of adhering to the beliefs of a ‘heresy’. Its preservation was deemed to have been nothing less than ‘a matter of wonder’; a story of almost unprecedented ancient Christian survival in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

Texto completoResumen
European modernist architectural design and urban planning for suburbs have often been theorized as dystopic creation myths. These narratives focus on the unfulfilled promises of activist designers to deliver equality, overscaled and generic neighborhoods, and contemporary social exclusion. Södertälje offers another view. This dissertation combines history, ethnography, and formal analysis to examine how architects, urban planners, and immigrant residents conflict and collaborate in the production of the city. The Swedish town of Södertälje serves as a lens through which to view these processes: it is both a nexus of high modernist spatial and social planning and the ostensible capital of the diasporic Syriac Christians, who now comprise approximately 26% of the local population. Postwar Swedish designers sought to reduce class differences through home standardization and a blurred public-private divide; this happened just as the country received numerous refugees, including Syriacs, who had left difficult conditions in Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon and quickly concentrated in Södertälje. There, they became active designers of a new urban landscape, first claiming welfare state public spaces but then slightly altering their uses. This suggests that “generic” modernist urbanism was more successful at accommodating difference than has typically been argued. More recently, Syriacs have built a state-of-the-art soccer stadium and colossal churches that – while sited in industrial zones in Södertälje – function as monuments and pilgrimage sites for the diaspora. In new, Syriac-dominated neighborhoods of custom-designed, single-family houses, Syriac participation has exceeded the “voice” that planners typically allocate to immigrants; their architectural displays of difference and affluent forms of segregation generate anxieties for planners trained in the welfare state’s traditions, which have long linked spatial uniformity to social equality. In aggregate, the Syriacs’ discrete projects have changed the way that the city functions, both in space and in the practices of the town’s expert designers, a development that I label “urban design from below.” This justifies a call for new orientations toward modernism, segregation, and participation in space making and suggests future trends for other European peripheries, where immigrants are also using and reconstructing postwar housing projects.

Texto completoResumen
Since the fate of the Syrian/Assyrian minority that has fled Turkey has not received much attention in research, this thesis is made to recognize the group and their experiences as refugees, Christians, and citizens in their old and new countries of Turkey and Sweden. When talking about dual citizenship, in terms of previous research, researchers often argue about how migrants prefer to keep their former citizenship when moving to another country. According to scholars and policymakers, dual citizenship is a benefit since it, for instance, helps immigrants to naturalize into their country of settlement. However, this is not always the case. By interviewing nine Syrians/Assyrians from Turkey, who either hold dual citizenship (Swedish and Turkish citizenship) or only Swedish citizenship (former Turkish citizens), this thesis will focus on how the minority thinks, feels, reasons, and argues about dual citizenship. Because of a history filled with oppression, discrimination, violence, and death (the Syrian/Assyrian genocide in 1915) in Turkey, many Syrians/Assyrians did not want to keep the bond to their country of origin when migrating to Sweden. In the sense of security and safety, belonging, naturalization and integration, and loyalty, this study will focus on what dual citizenship means for the Syrian/Assyrian participants who came to Sweden in the 1970s and if they make use of the possibility to hold more than one citizenship. The main finding is that the minority feels safe and at home in Sweden and not in Turkey. Because of their lack of protection and rights as Christians in their country of origin, Sweden is, as they call it, their new home. Even if some of them hold dual citizenship, while others only have Swedish citizenship, the majority of the Syrian/Assyrian people do not feel any sense of attachment, feeling, or loyalty toward Turkey today. However, there are exceptions. By holding dual citizenship, those Syrians/Assyrians who misses the food, the climate, or the culture can visit their country of origin, whenever they want to, as citizens.

Texto completoResumen
Die vorliegende Dissertation befasst sich mit der Entwicklung, Implementierung, Verifizierung und beispielhaften Anwendung eines thermohygrischen Modells zur Lösung bauklimatisch anspruchsvoller Planungsaufgaben. Als Anwendungsbeispiele dienen zwei Planungsprojekte an kritischen Standorten, ein Sanierungsentwurf für ein Wohngebäude in der warm-trockenen Klimazone (Damaskus) und ein Neubauentwurf für ein Kirchengebäude in der warm- feuchten Klimazone (Latakia).
Die Entwicklung des thermohygrischen Berechnungsmodells wurde auf der Grundlage einer vereinfachten Gebäude- Energie- und Feuchtebilanz vorgenommen. Das Modell prognostiziert den thermischen und hygrischen Raumklimaverlauf in Abhängigkeit des Außenklimas, der Baukonstruktion und der Raumnutzung. Die Validität des Modells konnte in einem ersten Schritt am Beispiel eines Archivbaus am Standort Dresden nachgewiesen werden. In einem zweiten Schritt wurde das Modell in seiner Funktionalität (Eingabeparametervariabilität und -flexibilität) erweitert und in das Programm CLIMT (Climate-Indoor-Moisture-Temperature) implementiert. Die Validität der erweiterten Funktionalität des Programms konnte mit Hilfe von Messergebnissen eines Testhauses am Standort Partwitzer See (Brandenburg) sowie den für dieses Gebäude durchgeführten Simulationsergebnissen (Software TRNSYS) nachgewiesen werden. Die Anwendung des entwickelten Programms CLIMT wurde für zwei gehobene bauklimatische Problemstellungen demonstriert. In beiden Fällen handelt es sich um Gebäude, deren historisch gewachsenes Umfeld und deren bautypologische Traditionen maßgebende Planungsaspekte darstellen. Die Standort- Klimazonen beider Gebäude bringen besondere Schwierigkeiten mit sich.
Für das Sanierungsplanungsbeispiel „Damaszener Wohnhaus“ wurden die Hauptmerkmale der historischen städtebaulichen Einbindung, der Gebäudezonierung sowie der traditionellen gestalterischen und bautechnischen Gebäudeelemente herausgearbeitet. Im Anschluss daran wurde die historisch- bauklimatische Funktionsweise dieses Gebäudetypus mit zahlreichen CLIMT- Variantenrechnungen näher betrachtet. Die besondere klimatische Schwierigkeit des Standortes Damaskus besteht in den permanent hohen Lufttemperaturen von bis zu 42°C, verbunden mit sehr niedrigen Luftfeuchten und Luftgeschwindigkeiten. Es wurden die beiden wesentlichen bauklimatische Funktionsbereiche, deren maßgebende Eigenschaften und deren Wirkungsweise für das Standortklima analysiert. Die Ergebnisse dieser Analyse bilden eine Hilfestellung für die traditionsbewusste bauklimatische Konzeption ähnlicher Gebäudetypen in dieser Klimazone.
Auch für den Anwendungsfall der Neubauplanung eines Kirchenbaus am Standort Al-Rwda (Latakia) wurde eine umfassende bauhistorische Analyse des Gebäudetypus durchgeführt. Es konnten die historisch gewachsenen Hauptmerkmale des byzantinischen bzw. syrischen Sakralbaus in Bezug auf die Gebäudekubatur, Fassadengestaltung, Baustoffwahl und Innenraumgestaltung herausgestellt werden. Die bauklimatische Optimierung des neu zu errichtenden Kirchenbaus wurde mit Hilfe von CLIMT- und DELPHIN- Simulationsstudien vorgenommen. Am Gebäudestandort Latakia bestand die besondere Problemstellung in der Berücksichtigung hoher Luftfeuchten und Temperaturen welche ein erhöhtes Schadenspotenzial für die Außenbauteilkonstruktionen bedingen. Trotz der zahlreichen Randvorgaben der Planung konnten die bauphysikalischen Eigenschaften der gewählten Konstruktionen so weit wie möglich den vorteilhaften historischen Konstruktionseigenschaften angenähert werden so dass Schadensfreiheit gewährleistbar ist und der Energiebedarf weitestgehend minimiert wurde. Auch die Erkenntnisse dieses Kapitels bieten Planungshilfestellungen für den Entwurf ähnlicher Gebäudetypen und sind des Weiteren auf andere Klimazonen, so auch die gemäßigte Klimazone, übertragbar.
Die Dissertation leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Verbesserung des Entwurfsprozesses indem sie ein praxistaugliches aber dennoch exaktes Bewertungsmodell zur Verfügung stellt und dessen Anwendung im Zusammenspiel der zahlreichen Entwurfsaspekte wie z.B. Städtebau, Nutzungsanforderungen, Statik, Liturgie, Baugeschichte und vor allem Bauklimatik, beispielhaft aufzeigt. Die Ableitung bauklimatischer Regeln bzw. Erkenntnisse konnten für zwei bauklimatisch bedeutende Klimazonen, die warm- feuchte und die warm- trockene Zone, an Hand zweier Entwurfsfelder bzw. Entwurfsbeispiele aufgestellt werden. Die erzielten Erkenntnisse beruhen dabei nicht nur auf der Anwendung des thermohygrischen Gebäudemodells sondern auch auf einer theoretischen Analyse der baugeschichtlichen Vorbilder für die Entwurfsbeispiele der jeweiligen Klimazone.

Texto completoResumen
The subject of the present work is the provision of higher literate education in late Roman Syria (c. 350 - c. 450). The difference that Christianity made to literate education has always been in danger of being explained with the introduction and the development of a new kind of instruction provided in monasteries. A rigid dichotomy between secular schools and Christian monasteries, however, finds limited validation in our sources for literate education. While early Christian literature often presented monasteries as providers of education, documentary evidence offers a more blurred picture. On the one hand, studentsʼ papyri show the penetration of Christianity into schools, and, on the other, secular instructional texts have been found in the excavations of early monasteries in Egypt. This thesis presents a neglected corpus of Christian instructional texts that call into question an oppositional understanding of scholastic and monastic education in the Syrian region during late Antiquity. The corpus consists of the Syriac translations of six literary pieces by (or attributed to) Plutarch, Lucian, and Themistius that bring together features of rhetorical education with an interest in Christian asceticism (ch. 2). While the contents and the transmission of the Syriac translations reveal the link to Christianity and Christian ascetic practice (ch. 3), the textual form and the choice of the texts unearths the underlying connection to traditional literate education (ch. 4). These documents, which will be put in relation to instructional literature composed in Greek, Latin, and Syriac in the same period, challenge the existence of a neat line dividing scholastic and monastic education in the Syrian region during late Antiquity. A fresh analysis that is not constrained by a preconceived model of monastic instruction better accounts for the involvement of early Christian leaders in higher education and prompts a new investigation of their conduct on the social scene. Their agency now appears much closer to that of their non-Christian counterparts, sophists in primis, and raises the broader question of the extent to which they owed their considerable success to the implementation of strategies ultimately derived from the world of professional paideia.

Texto completoResumen
During the last decades, the Christian population of Iraq is estimated to have decreased from about 1.5 million people to about 120,000. The historical examples of religious persecution are plenty, and in the last few years, the world again witnessed brutal violence against religious minorities, this time committed by the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). By examining the narrative of the survivors of the persecution and violence, insight can be gained into what becomes meaningful for a person in the darkest situation of violence and threats, and how the available resources can be useful to cope with the situation in a way that makes sense of evil. Through an ethnographic approach, the inner lives of eight Christians from northern Iraq are explored in this thesis. Their personal stories demonstrate how a sense of coherence can be reached through being part of something greater than oneself; activism, nationalism, and most of all; religious faith, practice, and identity.

Texto completoResumen
Religion ist für viele Menschen ein wichtiger Bestandteil ihres Seins. Sie identifizieren und definieren sich über ihre Zugehörigkeit zu dieser. Jede konkurrierende Weltanschauung wird dabei meist als Bedrohung angesehen und mehr oder weniger stark in Wort, Schrift oder Tat bekämpft. Besonders die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Islam hat sich in den letzten Jahren drastisch verschärft und führt immer wieder zu heftigen verbalen oder gewalttätigen Angriffen. Das Ringen um Verständigung bzw. Abgrenzung und die damit verbundenen Konflikte und Diskussionen sind jedoch nicht neu, sondern ziehen sich wie ein roter Faden durch die Geschichte. Interessant aus heutiger Zeit ist deshalb die Erschließung der Anfangsdebatte am Entstehungsort des Islams. Auf welche Weise und mit welchen Mitteln setzten sich die unmittelbar von der arabischen Herrschaft betroffenen Christen mit der neuen Religion auseinander? Wie entwickelten sich die Argumentationsmuster in den Anfängen des Religionsdiskurses? Welche hauptsächlichen religiösen Unterschiede wurden wahrgenommen und thematisiert? Anhand einiger Texte des Johannes Damaskenos und des Theodor Abū Qurra soll diesen Fragen auf den Grund gegangen werdenReligion is an important component of her being for many people. They identify and define themselves over her affiliation to this. Besides, every competing world view is mostly looked as a menace and is fought more or less strongly in word, writing or action. Particularly the discussion with Islam has drastically intensified during the last years and leads over and over again to fierce verbal or violent attacks. Nevertheless, the struggle around notification or demarcation and the conflicts linked with it and discussions are not new, but stretch like a red thread through the history. Therefore, interesting from today's time is the development of the beginning debate in the place of origin of Islam.

Texto completoResumen
In recent decades there has been a growing scholarly interest in the representation of women in early Christian texts, with the works of Greek and Latin authors being the primary focus. This dissertation makes an important contribution to the existing scholarship by examining the representation of Armenian women in the fifth-century Christian narratives, which have been instrumental in forging the Christian identity and worldview of the Armenian people. The texts that are discussed here were written exclusively by clerics whose way of thinking was considerably influenced by the religious teachings of the Greek and Syriac Church Fathers. However, as far as the representation of women is concerned, the Greek Fathers' largely misogynistic discourse did not have discernible effect on the Armenian authors. On the contrary, the approach developed in early Christian Armenian literature was congruous with the more liberal way of thinking of the Syriac clerics, with a marked tendency towards empowering women ideologically and providing them with prominent roles in the male-centred society. I argue that such a representation of women was primarily prompted by the ideology of the pre-Christian religion of the Armenians. This research discusses the main historical and cultural factors that prompted a positive depiction of women, and highlights the rhetorical and moralising strategies that the authors deployed to construct an "ideal woman". It further explores the representation of women's agency, experience, discourse, and identity. In particular, women's pivotal role in Armenia's conversion to Christianity and female asceticism in fourth-fifth century Armenia are extensively investigated. It is also argued that women's status in the extended family determined the social spaces they could enter and the extent of power they could exercise. It appears that Iranian matrimonial practice, including polygyny and consanguineous marriages, was common among the Armenian elite, whereas the lower classes mainly practised marriage by bride purchase or abduction. Special attention is devoted to the institution of queenship in Arsacid Armenia and the position of the queen within the framework of power relationships. Finally, this study examines the instances of violence towards women during wars and how the female body was exploited to achieve desirable political goals.

Texto completoResumen
Cette thèse se situe entre l ’ histoire, la politique et les mouvements de population et se place ainsi dans le champ général de la géopolitique. Elle s ’ efforce de proposer une solution au problème de la disparition d ’ une très grande partie des Chrétiens du Liban, notamment les Maronites suite au massacre des Chrétiens du Liban et de Syrie en 1860 et à la guerre civile Libanaise [1975-1990]. La recherche d’ une solution est cruciale pour la survie des Chrétiens et de la Chrétienté au Liban ainsi que pour la survie du système consensuel Libanais basé sur l’ équilibre entre les Chrétiens et les Musulmans, un objectif central dans la Constitution Libanaise de 1926 et dans l’ accord de Taëf en 1989. Il faudrait donc consolider les efforts des Maronites au Liban et dans le monde, notamment au Brésil, et unifier leur message pour diffuser la richesse du patrimoine libanais à travers toutes les Églises, l ’ Ambassade et les Consulats ; renforcer les fondements de l’appartenance au Liban ; préserver et défendre les droits et les intérêts de la communauté Maronite, et la place sociale, culturelle et politique dont elle jouit au Liban et dans le monde ; naturaliser tous les descendants des émigrés Libanais dans le monde, notamment au Brésil, ou se trouve la majorité des descendants des Libanais n’ ayant pas la nationalité libanaise, dont la plupart sont Maronites; œuvrer pour que les Maronites puissent jouir de leur vitalité et occuper la place qui leur revient dans tous les domaines, et ce au sein d’un État de droit qui œuvre pour la sauvegarde de la coexistence, défend l’entente nationale et consacre la justice, la démocratie consensuelle, la liberté et l’égalité devant la loi de tous les citoyens libanais; promouvoir le dialogue Chrétien-Musulman dans le cadre de la communication constructive établie entre les religions, les civilisations et les peuples du monde ; et poursuivre la promotion de la culture arabe dont la renaissance et les exploits ont été possibles grâce au rôle pionnier joué par les MaronitesThis thesis is situated between the fields of history, politics and the shifts of population and is thus placed in the general field of geopolitics. It endeavours to propose a solution to the problem of disappearance of a great part of the Christians of Lebanon, notably the Maronites, further to the massacre of the Christians of Lebanon and Syria in 1860 and the Lebanese civil war [1975-1990]. The search for a solution is crucial for the survival of Christians and Christianity in Lebanon as well as the survival of the Lebanese consensual system based on the balance between Muslims and Christians, a central objective in the Lebanese Constitution of 1926 and in the Taef agreement of 1989. Efforts of the Maronites in Lebanon and the world, particularly in Brazil, must therefore be consolidated and their message unified in order to spread the wealth of the Lebanese heritage throughout all Churches, the Embassy and Consulates, reinforce the foundations of belonging to Lebanon; preserve and defend the rights and the interests of the Maronite community, and the social, cultural and political influence it enjoys in Lebanon and the world ; naturalise all descendants of Lebanese emigrants in the world, in particular in Brazil, where the majority of the descendants of Lebanese persons not having Lebanese nationality are to be found, most of whom are Maronites; work so that the Maronites enjoy their vitality and occupy the place that belongs to them in all fields, in a State of law that works for the safeguard of the coexistence, defend the national understanding and devote justice, consensual democracy, freedom and equality before the law of all Lebanese citizens; promote Christian-Muslim dialogue in the framework of constructive communication established between religions, civilizations, and peoples of the world; and pursue the promotion of the Arab culture whose renaissance and exploits have been made possible thanks to the pioneer role played by the Maronites

Texto completoResumen
The subject of this thesis is the theology of the late 13th- early 14th century churchman 'Abdisho' bar Brikha. Better known by modern scholars for his poetry and canon law, he is far less recognised as a religious controversialist who composed works in Arabic as well as Syriac to answer Muslim criticisms. My overall argument contends that 'Abdisho''s hitherto neglected theological works are critical to our understanding of how anti-Muslim apologetics had by his time become central to his Church's articulation of a distinct Christian identity in a largely non-Christian environment. 'Abdisho' wrote his apologetic theology at a time when Christians experienced increasing hardship under the rule of the Mongol Ilkhans, who had officially converted to Islam in 1295. While the gradual hardening of attitudes towards Christians may well have informed 'Abdisho''s defensive stance, this thesis also demonstrates that his theology is built on a genre of apologetics that emerged as early as the mid-8th century. Our author compiles and systematises earlier debates and authorities from this tradition while updating them for a current authorship. In doing so, he contributes to the formation of a theological canon that would remain authoritative for centuries to come. My analysis of 'Abdisho''s oeuvre extends to three doctrinal themes: the Trinity, the Incarnation, and devotional practices (viz. the veneration of the Cross and the striking of the church clapper). I situate his discussion of these topics in a period when Syriac Christian scholarship was marked by a familiarity with Arabo-Islamic theological and philosophical models. While our author does not engage with these models as closely as his better-known Syriac Christian contemporary Bar Hebraeus (d. 1286), he nevertheless appeals to a literary and theological idiom common to both Muslims and Christians in order to convince his coreligionists of their faith's reasonableness against centuries-long polemical attacks.

The Purpose of this essay is to seek an answer to whether or not a conflict exists between priests of the Assyrian Church, the Syrian Orthodox Church and the Coptic Church in contemporary Swedish society, as well as to examine the environment between the three. The theological dissimilarities will be studied (from a historical standpoint), along with the interviewed participants views on the division in Christianity which will be presented also. I choose to interview six priests/chorbishops who live and work in Sweden, and the result was analyzed according to the senior professor of peace- and conflict, Peter Wallensteen’s theories on conflict and conflict resolution, where important issues are laid out to identify the core problem, and theological differences are discussed and compared from a union perspective. The result of the interviews illustrate a clear response that the participants experience a lack of functioning collaborations (from the Assyrians Church view, a collaboration is absent from the Syrian Orthodox Church and the Coptic Church, and vice versa) and most of the participants experience negative consequences from the divide in churches, as they strive for unity in Christianity as a whole. The theological differences between the churches proves not to be as significant as expected, the actual predicament lies partly in language-and phrase division along with a general rejection of each other’s interpretations. In many instances all the churches mean to express the same things, but it is the explanation of expressions that vary and cause misunderstandings. Consequently it is imperative for these churches to develop functional communication to (amongst other issues) solve their interpretations. If not to unify, then to develop an acceptance for each other and the different understandings.

Texto completoResumen
The county of Tripoli (Lebanon) was one of four “crusader states” established in the Levant after the First Crusade (1095-99). Compared to the other states, the county of Tripoli has suffered from a disproportionate level of historiographical neglect. What has been produced has taken an institutional and Eurocentric approach to the subject and its sources. The present thesis jettisons this in favour of a post-institutional methodology, approaching the county from the perspectives of geography and demographics, which together ensure that it is treated within its proper Syro-Lebanese context. Chapter one looks at the role of local geography in shaping the political frontiers of the county of Tripoli and its neighbours, arguing that topography was more important than the agency of the European settlers. Chapter two continues to challenge traditional assumptions regarding European influence, arguing that the specifically southern French origins of many of the county’s settlers were of little significance. Chapter three analyses the use of Arabic by the Frankish government of the county, informed by an awareness of diglossia. It argues that the Franks were more likely to know spoken Arabic than written, but remained reliant upon local intermediaries when ruling over Arabophones. Chapter four looks at popular religion, arguing that the cross-fertilisation of religious beliefs and practices was widespread but poorly understood by the contemporary intelligentsia, upon whose sources historians rely. As a whole, the thesis argues that the county’s inhabitants lacked a distinctive culture, identity, religion or language. The sole justification for viewing the county as an integrated unit is geographical.

Texto completoResumen
Religion ist für viele Menschen ein wichtiger Bestandteil ihres Seins. Sie identifizieren und definieren sich über ihre Zugehörigkeit zu dieser. Jede konkurrierende Weltanschauung wird dabei meist als Bedrohung angesehen und mehr oder weniger stark in Wort, Schrift oder Tat bekämpft. Besonders die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Islam hat sich in den letzten Jahren drastisch verschärft und führt immer wieder zu heftigen verbalen oder gewalttätigen Angriffen. Das Ringen um Verständigung bzw. Abgrenzung und die damit verbundenen Konflikte und Diskussionen sind jedoch nicht neu, sondern ziehen sich wie ein roter Faden durch die Geschichte. Interessant aus heutiger Zeit ist deshalb die Erschließung der Anfangsdebatte am Entstehungsort des Islams. Auf welche Weise und mit welchen Mitteln setzten sich die unmittelbar von der arabischen Herrschaft betroffenen Christen mit der neuen Religion auseinander? Wie entwickelten sich die Argumentationsmuster in den Anfängen des Religionsdiskurses? Welche hauptsächlichen religiösen Unterschiede wurden wahrgenommen und thematisiert? Anhand einiger Texte des Johannes Damaskenos und des Theodor Abū Qurra soll diesen Fragen auf den Grund gegangen werden.Religion is an important component of her being for many people. They identify and define themselves over her affiliation to this. Besides, every competing world view is mostly looked as a menace and is fought more or less strongly in word, writing or action. Particularly the discussion with Islam has drastically intensified during the last years and leads over and over again to fierce verbal or violent attacks. Nevertheless, the struggle around notification or demarcation and the conflicts linked with it and discussions are not new, but stretch like a red thread through the history. Therefore, interesting from today's time is the development of the beginning debate in the place of origin of Islam. In which manner and with which means did the Christians immediately affected by the Arabian rule argue with the new religion? How did the argumentation patterns develop in the beginnings of the religious discourse? Which principal religious differences were perceived and picked out as a central theme? With the help of some texts of Johannes Damaskenos and Theodor Abū Qurra should become to these questions on the reason gone.

Texto completoResumen
Cette thèse interroge la vision essentialiste qui désigne les chrétiens orientaux comme des communautés immobiles situées hors de l’histoire en mettant l’accent sur l’émergence des nouvelles dynamiques sociales des Syriaques orthodoxes d’Istanbul en Turquie contemporaine. S’appuyant sur les données historiques ainsi qu’ethnographiques, elle tend à déconstruire le discours communautariste identitaire des fidèles et avance que ce qu’on nomme aujourd’hui l’identité Syriaque orthodoxe contemporaine dans le contexte turc, s’est construite dans une longue durée et est en train de se construire par le biais des interactions continuelles avec les identités environnantes, c’est-à-dire l’identité turque musulmane, kurde, arménienne, catholique latine et protestante. Cette identité se construit beaucoup par contact, opposition et mimétisme avec l'identité nationale turque dominante, les autres identités chrétiennes, et l'identité musulmane majoritaire. A ces facteurs, l’influence du nationalisme assyrien diffusé par des réseaux transnationaux s’ajoute et ceci grâce à l’expansion radicale des mouvements de personnes et des développements technologiques, entraînés par le processus de mondialisation. Dans la présente thèse, nous suggérons également que l’identité syriaque contemporaine ne présente plus un aspect monolithique qui se caractérise par une mentalité traditionnelle et rurale. Au sein d’une métropole diversifiée et un terrain diasporique comme Istanbul, marquée par la multiplicité des cultures, on constate chez les fidèles l’émergence des nouveaux bricolages en terme religieux ainsi que des différentes modalités de croire, liées à une modernité qui se traduit par l’individualisme et le transnationalThis thesis questions the essentialist vision that identifies Eastern Christians as unchanging communities located outside of history by emphasizing the emergence of new social dynamics among Orthodox Syriacs from Istanbul in contemporary Turkey. Based on historical as well as ethnographic data, this thesis intends to deconstruct the communitarian identity discourse of the faithful and argues that what is now called contemporary Syrian Orthodox identity in the Turkish context has been built over a long period of time and through continuous interactions with surrounding identities, i.e., Muslim, Kurdish, Armenian, Latin Catholic and Protestant Turkish identities. This identity is constructed much by contact, opposition and mimicry in relation to the dominant Turkish national identity, other Christian identities and the majority Muslim identity. An additional factor is the influence of Assyrian nationalism spread by transnational networks as a result of the radical expansion of the movement of people and technological developments driven by the process of globalization. In this thesis, it’s also suggested that contemporary Syriac identity no longer has a monolithic aspect characterized by a traditional and rural mentality. Within a diversified metropolis and diasporic terrain like Istanbul marked by a multiplicity of cultures, one can see among the faithful the emergence of new bricolages in religious terms as well as the different modalities of believing, which is linked to a modernity finding its expression in individualism and transnationality

Texto completoResumen
The Sermo antequam iret in exilium and the Sermo cum iret in exsilium are two homilies allegedly pronounced by John Chrysostom in Constantinople at the end of summer 403, some time between the verdict of the Synod of the Oak and the day he left the city for his first exile. The aim of the thesis is to demonstrate that a new critical edition of these texts is needed before any study of their literary and historical value can be conducted. Chapter one sketches the historical background to which the text of the homilies refers and a concise survey about previous scholarship on the homilies on the first exile, from the time of Montfaucon’s edition until our days. The problem of the authenticity occupies the last part of the chapter. Chapter two investigates the history of the texts and takes into account both the direct and indirect traditions. It discusses the existence of double recensions hitherto unknown and provides the prefatory material for the new critical edition of recensio α of Sermo antequam iret in exilium and of the Sermo cum iret in exsilium. Chapter three comprises the Greek editions of the two homilies, as well as a provisional edition of the Latin version of the Sermo antequam iret in exilium. Chapter four is divided into two parts, each presenting a philological commentary on the text of the new editions. Systematic analysis of all the most important variant readings is offered. The final chapter summarizes the new findings and assesses the validity of previous criteria used for discerning the authenticity of the homilies on the exile.

Texto completoResumen
Since the 1970's, more attention has been paid to the early cult of the Mary, as well as to empresses in the Eastern Roman Empire. The Empress Pulcheria (399-453 C.E.), who was the granddaughter of Theodosius the Great, has been portrayed as the earthly image of Mary. This portrayal was in the context of the controversy over the title of Mary the Theotokos, or birth-giver of God, and was due to reports made by the Patriarch Nestorius and those sympathetic to him that Pulcheria had said that she had given birth to God. This study investigates the reported claim in order to establish whether it represents the patristic teaching of giving birth to Christ. I will do this by providing a survey of the cult of Mary up to the early fifth century; second, examining the theological trends and socio-religious climate from the mid-fourth to early fifth centuries; third, considering the foundational spiritual traditions of the empress Pulcheria; fourth, reviewing the development of the mystical teaching of giving birth to Christ, through Eastern Syrian, Cappadocian-Alexandrian and Constantinopolitan theologians. The thesis demonstrates that the mystical teaching of giving birth to Christ was indeed followed by male and female ascetics, wives and mothers who took Mary for their model. The practice was Christ-centered and reflected an individualistic spirituality and also a collective solidarity with women, the sick, suffering and the enslaved. The report that Pulcheria had given birth to God, specifically reflects the burgeoning conflict over the Theotokos title.

Texto completoResumen
Die vorliegende Dissertation befasst sich mit der Entwicklung, Implementierung, Verifizierung und beispielhaften Anwendung eines thermohygrischen Modells zur Lösung bauklimatisch anspruchsvoller Planungsaufgaben. Als Anwendungsbeispiele dienen zwei Planungsprojekte an kritischen Standorten, ein Sanierungsentwurf für ein Wohngebäude in der warm-trockenen Klimazone (Damaskus) und ein Neubauentwurf für ein Kirchengebäude in der warm- feuchten Klimazone (Latakia).
Die Entwicklung des thermohygrischen Berechnungsmodells wurde auf der Grundlage einer vereinfachten Gebäude- Energie- und Feuchtebilanz vorgenommen. Das Modell prognostiziert den thermischen und hygrischen Raumklimaverlauf in Abhängigkeit des Außenklimas, der Baukonstruktion und der Raumnutzung. Die Validität des Modells konnte in einem ersten Schritt am Beispiel eines Archivbaus am Standort Dresden nachgewiesen werden. In einem zweiten Schritt wurde das Modell in seiner Funktionalität (Eingabeparametervariabilität und -flexibilität) erweitert und in das Programm CLIMT (Climate-Indoor-Moisture-Temperature) implementiert. Die Validität der erweiterten Funktionalität des Programms konnte mit Hilfe von Messergebnissen eines Testhauses am Standort Partwitzer See (Brandenburg) sowie den für dieses Gebäude durchgeführten Simulationsergebnissen (Software TRNSYS) nachgewiesen werden. Die Anwendung des entwickelten Programms CLIMT wurde für zwei gehobene bauklimatische Problemstellungen demonstriert. In beiden Fällen handelt es sich um Gebäude, deren historisch gewachsenes Umfeld und deren bautypologische Traditionen maßgebende Planungsaspekte darstellen. Die Standort- Klimazonen beider Gebäude bringen besondere Schwierigkeiten mit sich.
Für das Sanierungsplanungsbeispiel „Damaszener Wohnhaus“ wurden die Hauptmerkmale der historischen städtebaulichen Einbindung, der Gebäudezonierung sowie der traditionellen gestalterischen und bautechnischen Gebäudeelemente herausgearbeitet. Im Anschluss daran wurde die historisch- bauklimatische Funktionsweise dieses Gebäudetypus mit zahlreichen CLIMT- Variantenrechnungen näher betrachtet. Die besondere klimatische Schwierigkeit des Standortes Damaskus besteht in den permanent hohen Lufttemperaturen von bis zu 42°C, verbunden mit sehr niedrigen Luftfeuchten und Luftgeschwindigkeiten. Es wurden die beiden wesentlichen bauklimatische Funktionsbereiche, deren maßgebende Eigenschaften und deren Wirkungsweise für das Standortklima analysiert. Die Ergebnisse dieser Analyse bilden eine Hilfestellung für die traditionsbewusste bauklimatische Konzeption ähnlicher Gebäudetypen in dieser Klimazone.
Auch für den Anwendungsfall der Neubauplanung eines Kirchenbaus am Standort Al-Rwda (Latakia) wurde eine umfassende bauhistorische Analyse des Gebäudetypus durchgeführt. Es konnten die historisch gewachsenen Hauptmerkmale des byzantinischen bzw. syrischen Sakralbaus in Bezug auf die Gebäudekubatur, Fassadengestaltung, Baustoffwahl und Innenraumgestaltung herausgestellt werden. Die bauklimatische Optimierung des neu zu errichtenden Kirchenbaus wurde mit Hilfe von CLIMT- und DELPHIN- Simulationsstudien vorgenommen. Am Gebäudestandort Latakia bestand die besondere Problemstellung in der Berücksichtigung hoher Luftfeuchten und Temperaturen welche ein erhöhtes Schadenspotenzial für die Außenbauteilkonstruktionen bedingen. Trotz der zahlreichen Randvorgaben der Planung konnten die bauphysikalischen Eigenschaften der gewählten Konstruktionen so weit wie möglich den vorteilhaften historischen Konstruktionseigenschaften angenähert werden so dass Schadensfreiheit gewährleistbar ist und der Energiebedarf weitestgehend minimiert wurde. Auch die Erkenntnisse dieses Kapitels bieten Planungshilfestellungen für den Entwurf ähnlicher Gebäudetypen und sind des Weiteren auf andere Klimazonen, so auch die gemäßigte Klimazone, übertragbar.
Die Dissertation leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Verbesserung des Entwurfsprozesses indem sie ein praxistaugliches aber dennoch exaktes Bewertungsmodell zur Verfügung stellt und dessen Anwendung im Zusammenspiel der zahlreichen Entwurfsaspekte wie z.B. Städtebau, Nutzungsanforderungen, Statik, Liturgie, Baugeschichte und vor allem Bauklimatik, beispielhaft aufzeigt. Die Ableitung bauklimatischer Regeln bzw. Erkenntnisse konnten für zwei bauklimatisch bedeutende Klimazonen, die warm- feuchte und die warm- trockene Zone, an Hand zweier Entwurfsfelder bzw. Entwurfsbeispiele aufgestellt werden. Die erzielten Erkenntnisse beruhen dabei nicht nur auf der Anwendung des thermohygrischen Gebäudemodells sondern auch auf einer theoretischen Analyse der baugeschichtlichen Vorbilder für die Entwurfsbeispiele der jeweiligen Klimazone.

A historic resume of the situation of the metropolis Antiochia in Syria in the 4th century AD is followed by an analysis of some important aspects of the worldview of its inhabitants. A short account of the life and work of John Chrysostom is given and followed by an analysis of four of his homilies of the Gospel of Matthew. These are compared with own exegetical points of view of the same texts. The focus is directed to some topics where the influence of worfdview makes itself felt. In the last chapter some observations in connection with the influence of worldview on biblical interpretation ensue. The thesis closes with a short discussion of some missiological and hermeneutical consequences
