Full textAbstract:
This study attempts to identify and explore the psychodynamics of Australian
and Korean business encounters in Seoul, Republic of Korea, by describing and
discussing 'Australian-ness' and 'Korean-ness' as representations of what I will call
'National character in-the-mind'. A guiding hypothesis is that in highly charged
emotional settings, like those associated with foreign business encounters, National
character in-the-mind acts as a psychological and emotional container, and a protective
screen to hide more intricate institutional anxieties and defences. The data supporting
the study is drawn from my interviews with 12 Australian and 6 Korean business people
conducted between 3 and 14 June 1996 in Seoul, Republic of Korea. The study also
reflects my experience and role as researcher in the research as a source, creator and
interpreter of data through the exploration of my own introspection. The findings
demonstrate how Australian-ness and Korean-ness appear to represent projections of the
human imagination, willed within the bounds of individual experience and perception.
A model for evaluating Cultural Misunderstanding and Defensive/Adaptive Behaviour
is proposed with the aim of seeking improved understanding of the Australian and
Korean National character. The model applies learning from the research experience
which emphasises the need for Australian and Korean business people to take a more
adaptive approach to the contrary behaviours they encounter. The model also
acknowledges the value of investing time to establish and maintain cross-cultural
business relationships based on access, whereby Australian and Korean business people
see themselves as resources of mutual gain, reducing the potential for
misunderstanding, fear and mistrust and the subsequent invocation of defensive
responses.

What lies beneath Our cultured constructions? The wild lies beneath. The mud and the mad, the bunyip Other, lies beneath. It echoes through our layered metaphors We hear its memories Through animal mythology in wilder places Through emotive imagination of landscape memoir Through mythic archaeologies of object art. Not the Nation, but the land has active influence. In festivals of bioregion, communities re-member its voice. Our creativity goes to what lies beneath. This thesis explores the ways we develop deeper and wilder connections to specific regional and local landscapes using art, festival, mythology and memoir. It argues that we inhabit and understand the specific nature of our locale when we plan space for the non-human and creatively celebrate culture-nature coalitions. A wilder and more active sense of place relies upon community cultural conversations with the mythic, represented in the Australian exemplar of the bunyip. The bunyip acts as a metaphor for the subaltern or hidden culture of a place. The bunyip is land incarnate. No matter how pristine the wilderness or how concrete the urban, every region has its localised bunyip-equivalent that defines, and is shaped by, its community and their environmental relationships. Human/non-human cohabitations might be actively expressed through art and cultural experience to form a wilder, more emotive landscape memoir. This thesis discusses a diverse range of landstories, mythologies, environmental art, and bioregional festivities from around Australasia with a special focus on the Sunshine Coast or Gubbi-Gubbi region. It suggests a subaltern indigenous influence in how we imagine, plan and celebrate place. The cultural discourses of metaphor, memoir, mythology and memory shape land into landscapes. When the metaphor is wild, the memoir celebratory, the mythology animal, the memory creative and complex, our ways of being are ecocentric and grounded. The distinctions between nature and culture become less defined; we become native to country. Our multi-cultured histories are written upon the earth; our community identities shape and are shaped by the land. Together, monsters and festivals remind us of the active land.

Full textAbstract:
L'imaginaire de John Bunyan nous offre un monde éclaté qui va du visible à l'invisible. En m'intéressant à ses structures et à son expression allégorique, j'ai essayé de démontrer le mécanisme de cet éclatement en m'appuyant sur une étude des mythes, des images, des symboles et des synesthésies. Il fallait des lors songer a tout ce qui relie les sensations ou les perceptions a la pensée de l'auteur. Apres avoir balise les sources littéraires et replace John Bunyan dans la littérature anglaise du dix-septième siècle, je me suis penché sur l'étude de la symbolique du mal afin de mieux cerner le tourbillon des contraires qui fondent la psychologie et la théologie de l'auteur. Le paysage de John Bunyan est à la fois un et multiple. Les voix qui y résonnent sont à l'image du discours varie qu'offre le texte. La mise en relation des éléments du discours m'a conduit à étudier dans une troisième partie les structures narratives. Souvenir, mémoire, enchevêtrement du temps, de l'instant et de la durée, autant d'arcanes m'ont poussé à explorer cette sorte de puzzle qui relève d'une vraie pédagogie de la mémoire. Lire John Bunyan nécessite une interprétation de l'écriture, un décryptage dont l'intérêt se situe dans le lien entre l'herméneutique et l'allégorie. Cette opération est rendue possible grâce aux jeux du langage, au truchement des images, des symboles et des paraboles. Le texte de John Bunyan cache d'autres sens qu'il fallait découvrirJohn Bunyan’s imaginary presents a broken-up world which goes from the visible to the invisible, from reality to fiction and from fable to utopia. In taking interest in its structures and its allegorical expression, i've tried to show how the mecanism of ths break-up works, basing my study on myths, images, symbols and sensations. Consequent- ly i had to consider all that links sensations and perceptions to the thought of John bunyan. After marking out the litterary sources and after replacing the author in seventeenth century english litterature i've examined the symbolic system of evil so as to define the hurly- burly of opposites which are the basis of his psychology and theology. John bunyan's landscape is both one and mixed. The voices wich the reader can hear are in the image of the varied discourse we find in the text. The way events and the parts of speech are related leads us straight to the study of the narrative structures in a third part. Remembrance, memory, the confusion of the notions of time instant and duration, all these mysterious items urged us to examine that sort of puzzle worthy of a real pedagogy of memory. We cannot read John Bunyan without interpreting his writing. The interest of such a deciphering lies in the close link between hermeneutics and allegory. This process can be effective only through the devices of language, and the aid of images, symbols and parables. John Bunyan’s text hides many other meanings which are worth finding

Full textAbstract:
Master of Fine Arts This novel is a chronicle of the early days of Paul Bunyan, an important figure in American folk culture. While Paul Bunyan is a central figure in the tale, the story itself is told through the eyes of Clay Filinger, a young man from the backwoods of Kentucky who leaves his home on a journey of American exploration. Clay reaches Boston, where he hires on to work for John Patrick, a wealthy merchant headed to Maine in search of pirate treasure. John is travelling with his nephew, Randolph Bunyan. Along with them are two more hired men: Stokes, a foul riverman, and Silas Jefferson, a smooth-talking man with criminal intentions. As they travel up the coast, they encounter a shipwreck with one survivor, a pregnant Irish girl named Muirenn. Muirenn reveals to Clay that she is, in fact several hundred years old, having been trapped as a girl by the King of the Fair Folk. It is this supernatural king who is the father of her child. Clay, not wanting anything to do with these events, flees as soon as possible. He is turned back, however, by threats from a pooka, a mysterious creature. Shortly thereafter, Clay confronts a mysterious and powerful being called Liath Luacra. During the conflict, Muirenn gives birth to a boy named Paul, who is adopted by Randolph Bunyan. She then dies. The men finally find themselves in The Aroostook Valley of Maine. John Patrick continues looking for his treasure, and Clay does what he can to protect Paul. After some months, Silas Jefferson rides into town with a band of armed men, looking for Patrick's treasure. Clay fights him, and Jefferson is killed, but promptly possessed by Liath Luacra. The pooka is forced to become a huge blue ox while Clay and the others flee. Finding themselves on the other side of a river, Clay and his companions eventually are forced into a final confrontation with Constance Jefferson, who came with her brother, and finally with Liath Luacra. With luck and supernatural help, Constance is defeated and Liath Luacra is forced to flee.

Milne, Kirsty. "Vanity Fair from Bunyan to Thackeray : transformations of a trope." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2012. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.560553.
Full textAbstract:
Although Vanity Fair is just one episode in The Pilgrim's Progress, taking up barely a dozen pages in the first edition of 1678, it has had a potent and versatile afterlife. My thesis examines how the Vanity Fair trope is transformed between its appearance in The Pilgrim's Progress and the publication of Thackeray's novel Vanity Fair (1847-1848). Canvassing a range of printed material, from pamphlets and periodicals to canonical texts, my research contributes to literary scholarship in two ways. First, I show how the idea of Vanity Fair, which in Bunyan is a place of trial and terror, was tamed, secularised and feminised, becoming associated with consumption, pleasure and the notion of social life as a performance. Second, by exploring how Bunyan and Thackeray engaged with cultural memories, my thesis sheds light on the relationship between the individual and the collective imagination. Chapter 1 interrogates the critical tradition of interpreting Vanity Fair literally, as an actual fair and a critique of capitalism. Chapter 2 argues that Bunyan challenged and subverted an existing trope - that of the disruptive puritan, familiar from Ben Jonson's Bartholomew Fair. Chapter 3 looks at Vanity Fair in early imitations of The Pilgrim's Progress (including Bunyan's own Second Part). Chapter 4 ranges across the eighteenth century to show how Vanity Fair is appropriated as an idiom for conceptualising public space and leisure. Chapter 5 examines how the trope becomes, in Thackeray's Vanity Fair, an ambivalent memory of a puritan inheritance. My conclusion reflects on how, through the medium of cultural memory, Bunyan's puritan protest became one of the governing metaphors of modern consumerism.

Full textAbstract:
No presente estudo, investiga-se o caráter alegórico do romance No país das últimas coisas (1987), de Paul Auster, tanto através de suas ligações intertextuais com a paródia 'A estrada de ferro celestial' (1843), de Nathaniel Hawthorne, e com o texto alegórico O peregrino (1678), de John Bunyan, como a partir da noção de alegoria presente no pensamento de Walter Benjamin. Faz-se um histórico do uso da alegoria na tradição literária, com o intuito de vislumbrar a possibilidade de uma reavaliação, na modernidade, dessa figura de linguagem. As três obras em questão são analisadas a partir de diferentes níveis interpretativos, percorrendo os sentidos metalinguístico e figurado. A metalinguagem está presente em todos os textos estudados e se liga ao trajeto da alegoria e do romance na literatura ocidental, em um cenário amplo que vai desde a época medieval, passando pelos períodos do Barroco e do Romantismo, e chegando aos dias atuais. O sentido figurado das obras apresenta um viés que é associado à crítica social e às noções de utopia e distopia. Leva-se em consideração o pensamento de Lewis Mumford no que diz respeito à utopia e seu papel na história. Destaca-se também a tendência contemporânea à produção de uma literatura distópica. Através da viagem de aprendizado e crescimento espiritual de cada um dos protagonistas, o sentido figurado indica, ainda, três formas diferentes de peregrinar: a primeira, pela graça divina, a segunda, pela modernidade liberal, e a terceira, pela exposição exacerbada da fragilidade humana.

Davies, Michael T. "Grace-ful reading : theology and narrative in the works of John Bunyan." Thesis, University of Leicester, 1997. http://hdl.handle.net/2381/30261.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis challenges the literary tradition of reading Bunyan's narrative works separately from the theology that fundamentally informs them. It argues that a full understanding of texts like Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners and The Pilgrim's Progress is possible only through a more accurate appraisal of Bunyan's religious doctrines, and a critical practice that pays due attention to Bunyan's Nonconformist poetics. 'Grace-ful Reading' regards Bunyan's theology in terms very different from those of the abhorrent Calvinism that studies often emphasise. Bunyan's narratives are understood here as propounding a doctrine of Law and grace that is essentially accommodating and comforting. Moreover, in terms of the experimental nature of Bunyan's theology, this thesis aims to demonstrate that his narrative works are constructed according to a specific purpose - to teach the reader about reading the self and the Word in terms of a faith that is experimental rather than rational. Consequently, 'Grace-ful Reading' views Bunyan's narrative works as attempting to elicit a specifically doctrinal reader-response, one that foregrounds spiritual understanding over anything knowable and reasonable. Indeed, Bunyan's texts teach about grace, faith, and spiritual perception by frustrating the reader's rational expectations of them as narratives. Hence, Bunyan's textual procedures are considered as essentially anti-narrative, his spiritual autobiography and spiritualised allegories effectively curtailing any 'historical' interest in them as moralistic or imaginative fables. 'Grace-ful Reading' offers a more detailed and contextually situated understanding of Bunyan's doctrines while exploring the textuality of his writings through a contemporary, even postmodernist narrative discourse. This study is organised into six chapters. Chapter 1 specifically addresses Bunyan's theology while Grace Abounding and The Pilgrim's Progress receive extensive analysis in chapters 2 and 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Chapter 6 assesses The Life and Death of Mr. Badman, The Holy War, and The Pilgrim's Progress, Part II as sequels to Bunyan's most popular allegory.

Full textAbstract:
Les puritains interdisaient généralement de s'exprimer dans un style imagé et exigeaient que la Bible soit interprétée littéralement. Bunyan, écrivain puritain lui aussi, était en revanche en faveur de l'expression spirituelle et de la métaphorisation du texte biblique, convaincu que ce style était celui des Écritures. Cette thèse propose d'étudier ce paradoxe en essayant de comprendre la raison de cette crainte à l'égard des images littéraires, de la part des puritains, et la raison de leur utilisation par Bunyan, notamment dans " The Pilgrim's Progress ". La première partie examine la relation des puritains à la Bible dans trois chapitres. Le premier chapitre traite de la position des puritains face à l'Église Établie et la monarchie. Le deuxième chapitre analyse l'autorité de la Bible chez les écrivains puritains. Le troisième chapitre retrace les étapes scripturaires que Bunyan a traversées, avant et après sa conversion. La deuxième partie, composée de trois chapitres, étudie l'importance de l'image littéraire chez Bunyan. Le premier chapitre traite de la définition du terme " image " pour dissiper la confusion entre celui-ci et les autres figures du style. Il propose aussi au lecteur un bref historique de l'image littéraire et plastique depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'à l'époque de Bunyan, et des débats théologiques que le mot " image " a suscité. Le deuxième chapitre analyse comment et pourquoi l'auteur s'est servi de l'image comme support pédagogique dans l'édification de ses coreligionnaires. Le troisième chapitre traite des matériaux qu'il utilisa pour construire ces images dans " The Pilgrim's Progress ". Enfin, la troisième partie analyse en détail deux images bibliques, le chemin et le lion, que Bunyan utilise dans " The Pilgrim's Progress ". Elle explique les nuances de ces images, leurs origines bibliques, et leur portée théologique, le tout dans le cadre de la foi protestante et puritaine qui était celle de Bunyan.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (M Sport Sc (Sport Science)--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this exploratory study was to assess the fascia alignment in kinetic muscle chains and to determine the relationship between these results and selected biomotor abilities in rugby players. It is suggested that restrictions in the fascia along the kinetic chains inhibit muscle function and therefore influence movement patterns, such as those required by skilled rugby players. The isometric Bunkie-test was used to assess fascia alignment in ten kinetic chains related to movement patterns. Standard functional tests were used to assess agility, speed, speed endurance, lower body explosive power and upper body muscle endurance. The relationship between fascia alignment and injury occurrence was also determined. The subjects (n = 121) were all elite-level rugby players from three rugby academies. They participated voluntarily in a once-off assessment, consisting of the Bunkie-test, an Illinois agility test, a 10m sprint test, a 40m sprint test, a repeated sprint test, a vertical jump test and a maximum pull-ups test. Subjects also completed an injury questionnaire regarding all previous and current injuries. No intervention was applied and the statistical analysis was based on this assessment. Numerous significant relationships (p < 0.05) were found between the results of the Bunkietest and results of the performance tests. Players performing better on the Bunkie-test demonstrated better biomotor abilities. Very few significant findings (p < 0.05) were found when comparing the results of the Bunkie-test to injury occurrence. The conclusion was made that restrictions in the fascia of kinetic chains, as determined by the Bunkie-test, could influence a rugby player’s ability to perform biomotor movements optimally. Whether restrictions in the fascia resulted in an increased injury occurrence could not be shown. The Bunkie-test might be a tool for coaches and rehabilitation therapists to identify weaknesses and imbalances in the kinetic chains of athletes. Addressing these problems could then lead to improvements in sport performance.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie ondersoekende studie was om die belyning van die fascia in kinetiese spierkettings te evalueer, asook om die verhouding tussen hierdie resultate en geselekteerde biomotoriese vermoëns in rugbyspelers. Daar is aanduidings dat beperkings in die fascia van enige spierketting spierfunksie kan inhibeer en dus ook die effektiwiteit van bewegingspatrone kan beïnvloed. Die isometriese Bankie-toets is gebruik om die fascia belyning in tien spierkettings te evalueer. Hierdie spierkettings is belangrik vir die uitvoer van algemene bewegingspatrone. Standaard funksionele toetse is gebruik om ratsheid, spoed, spoed-uithouvermoë, eksplosiewe krag van die onderste ledemate en spieruithouvermoë van die bolyfspiere te bepaal. Die verwantskap tussen fascia belyning en die aantal beserings in rugbyspelers is ook bepaal. Die proefpersone (n = 121) was almal elite-vlak rugbyspelers verbonde aan een van drie rugby akademies. Alle spelers het vrywillig deelgeneem aan die studie. Toetsing is eenmalig gedoen en het bestaan uit die Bankie-toets, die Illinois ratsheidstoets, ‘n 10m spoedtoets, ‘n 40m spoedtoets, ‘n herhaalde-spoed toets, ‘n vertikale sprong toets en ‘n maksimale optrektoets. Spelers het ook ‘n vraelys aangaande huidige en vorige beserings ingevul. Geen intervensie is in hierdie studie gedoen nie en die statistiese analise was dus op die bogenoemde gebaseer. Verskeie beduidende verwantskappe (p < 0.05) is gevind tussen die resultate van die Bankietoets en die resultate van die funksionele toetse. Spelers wat beter resultate in die Bankie-toets verkry het, het ook beter biomotoriese vermoëns getoon. Min beduidende resultate (p < 0.05) is gevind tussen die resultate van die Bankie-toets en die voorkoms van beserings. Die gevolgtrekking is gemaak dat beperkinge in die fascia van spierkettings, soos deur die Bankie-toets bepaal, wel ‘n rugbyspeler se vermoë om biomotoriese bewegings optimaal uit te voer kan beïnvloed. Of beperkinge in die fascia ook aanleiding gee tot ‘n toename in aantal beserings kon nie met hierdie studie vasgestel word nie. Die Bankie-toets kan moontlik ‘n instrument vir afrigters en rehabilitasie-terapeute wees. Die doel daarvan sal wees om beperkinge en wanbalanse in spierkettings van atlete te bepaal. Indien hierdie probleme aangespreek word, behoort sportprestasie te verbeter.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the symbolic-mythological imaginary of seventeenth century Puritan Protestantism, based on the work of John Bunyan, The Pilgrim. The study was developed within the Graduate Program in Sciences of Religions at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), in the research line Religion, Culture and Symbolic Production, by Research and Study Group in Anthropology and the Imaginary (GEPAI). The objective is to identify the mythical and imaginary roots of the Christian imaginary which are present in such work. The historical context in which such work was produced with all religious, philosophical and political conflicts are described. The approach offers elements to realize the mythic-ideological dimension present in John Bunyan s speech. He was a preacher of the Gospel (pastor), forged in an atmosphere of great tension, representative of Protestantism dissent known as Puritan . He used the resource of allegory as a support for the metaphors. The work narrates the trajectory of a Christian towards the Heavenly City. The symbolic-mythological element is present in all the work. This paper aims to bring near the allegory present in the work to the Christian Protestant imaginary. The work was originally published in 1678. The author was in prison for twelve years, and it was during this time that he wrote this, which is his masterpiece. The plot of this novel mingles to the symbolic interpretation. The theoretical analysis adopted is the Theory of the Imaginary by Gilbert Durand. The cultural imaginary consists of a dynamic system, organizer of images, mixture of mythical fragments generated by the human imagination and does not constitute of a secondary element of man s thinking, but in the very matrix of this thought. As a second Theoretical reference is Joseph Campbell, with his work about The Hero Adventure. The proposal is to identify the pilgrim journey in the work of Bunyan with the thesis of the conception of the mythological hero in Campbell. The myths are manifested in the symbolic acts, whose function is to put the man in a relationship of meaning with the world, with the other self and with his own self. There is a logic in all the imaginary mythological building process, in such a way that its phenomenology can be investigated and explained. Methodologically, the research consists in a descriptive and bibliographical study, associated with the studies of the imaginary according to Durand, and the hero adventure according to Campbell. The experience described by Bunyan illustrates our own experience. To tell the truth, all of us are pilgrims in this world, all of us walk in the direction of what is there and beyond, in one way or another, may it be in the plurality of how we feel, perceive and believe, may it be in the singularity of our inner beliefs.
A proposta desta pesquisa consiste em investigar o imaginário simbólico-mitológico do protestantismo puritano do século XVII, tomando como base a obra O peregrino de John Bunyan. O estudo foi desenvolvido dentro do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências das Religiões da Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), na linha de pesquisa Religião, Cultura e Produção Simbólica, do Grupo de Estudo e Pesquisa em Antropologia do Imaginário (GEPAI). O objetivo é identificar as raízes míticas e imaginárias do imaginário cristão que estão presentes na referida obra. O contexto histórico da produção da referida obra com todos os seus conflitos religiosos, filosóficos e políticos são descritos. A abordagem oferece elementos para se perceber a dimensão mítico-ideológica do discurso de John Bunyan. Era um ministro do evangelho (pastor), forjado num ambiente de grande tensão, representante da dissidência protestante conhecida por puritana . Usa o recurso da alegoria como suporte para as metáforas. A obra narra a trajetória de Cristão rumo à Cidade Celestial. O elemento simbólico-mitológico está presente em toda a obra. Este trabalho procura aproximar a alegoria da obra e o imaginário cristão protestante. A obra foi publicada originalmente em 1678. O autor esteve na prisão por doze anos, tendo nesta época escrito esta sua obra prima. O enredo da obra mescla-se à interpretação simbólica. A fundamentação teórica adotada para a análise é a Teoria do Imaginário de Gilbert Durand. O imaginário cultural consiste de um sistema dinâmico, organizador de imagens, formado pelo amálgama de fragmentos míticos gerados pela imaginação humana e não se constitui num elemento secundário do pensamento do homem, mas na própria matriz deste pensamento. Como segunda referência teórica está Joseph Campbell, com o seu trabalho sobre A aventura do herói. A proposta é identificar a jornada do peregrino da obra de Bunyan com a tese da concepção do herói mitológico de Campbell. Os mitos são manifestos nos atos simbólicos, cuja função é colocar o homem em relação de significado com o mundo, com o outro e consigo mesmo. Há uma lógica em todo o processo de construção do imaginário mitológico, tanto que a sua fenomenologia pode ser pesquisada e explicada. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa consiste de um estudo descritivo e bibliográfico, associado aos estudos do imaginário segundo Durand, e da aventura do herói segundo Campbell. A experiência descrita por Bunyan ilustra a nossa própria. Na verdade, todos somos peregrinos neste mundo, todos caminhamos na direção do que está ali e além, de um modo ou de outro, seja na pluralidade dos modos de sentir, perceber e crer, seja na singularidade das convicções internalizadas.

Cette thèse a pour objet les éditions illustrées anglaises et britanniques de The Pilgrim's Progress de John Bunyan publiées jusqu'à la fin de l'époque romantique. Elle vise à analyser le développement de la tradition iconographique de l'œuvre, et en particulier l'impact que ses illustrations a pu avoir sur sa lecture. Une partie historique examine l'entrée des images dans le livre et envisage la formation du corpus à la lumière de son contexte de production. Une partie littéraire se penche sur le traitement de The Pilgrim's Progress par ses illustrateurs et sur les effets réciproques entre la réception de l'œuvre et sa mise en images. Enfin, une partie plus théorique étudie la complexité des rapports entre le texte de The Pilgrim's Progress et ses illustrations au sein du livre illustré. L'objectif de cette recherche est de démontrer que The Pilgrim's Progress n'aurait sans doute pas eu une carrière éditoriale et critique aussi extraordinaire s'il n'avait été abondamment illustréWorking with the English and British illustrated editions of John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress up to the end of the Romantic era, this study examines the allegory's iconographic history through its editorial one, in particular how its illustrations influenced its reading by the public. Part one, a historical inquiry into the gradual inclusion of illustrations in the book, studies their transformation in light of contextualised book and engraving practices. Part two is a literary exegesis of the treatment of The Pilgrim's Progress by its many illustrators, which aims at showing the reciprocal influence between its iconographic and critical traditions. A third and final part examines the interplay between the text of The Pilgrim's Progress and its illustrations within the illustrated book. This study's objective is to demonstrate that The Pilgrim's Progress might not have enjoyed its extraordinary editorial career (nor canonised status) had it not been so copiously illustrated

Full textAbstract:
The thesis focuses on two major aspects. Firstly, it offers a discussion of the evolution of the notion of 'historicity' in the thought of various Russian thinkers and cultural historians with particular reference to the ideas of Berdiaev, Bakhtin and Likhachev. It also addresses the problem of the contribution made to the twentieth-century humanities by the 'Slavonic Renaissance' of the early part of the twentieth century. Secondly, the work examines various views on the issue of historical time and its perception and representation in artistic work, focusing primarily on the specificity of artistic time in the prose of Ivan Bunin. The discussion of this issue is based on four of Bunin's substantial works (The Shadow of the Bird, The Life of Arsen 'ev The Emancipation of Tolstoi and Dark Avenues), examining the problem of historical time from semantic and formal points of view. The analysis of the novel The Life of Arsen 'ev emerges as central to the whole discussion since it approaches the problem of the notion of 'path through life' and its significance both for an understanding of Bunin's work and in relation to the discursive practice of the 1920s and early 1930s in Russia. Moreover, for Bunin this category proves to be both a feature of artistic thinking and of generic significance, extending the boundaries of understanding and portrayal of historical time in its various aspects.

Dans la solitude, bounine approfondit alors apr l'ecriture un ideal de verite et de beaute detache de toute polemique sociale. Les preoccupations subjectives d'ordre metaphysique et esthetique ont remplace l'inspiration realiste de jadis. Avec une exigeante rigueur formelle, bounine explore plusieurs genres - journal, tableau miniature, biographie, autobiographie, roman, cycle de nouvelles - ou il developpe, entre aveu et retention, une quete existentielle toute personnelleThe russian revolution of 1917 represented a complete break for bunin both in his life and in his work. During the thirty-three years of exile spent in france he reconstructed his personal and professional identity on an entirely different basis. Thus in his solitude bunin gave depth through his literary work to an ideal of truth and beauty dissociated from all socialconsiderations. His former realism gave way to subjective preoccupations of a metaphysical and aesthetic nature. With an exacting formal rigour, bunin undertakes a new approach to several literary genres : the diary, the miniature portrayal, the biography, the autobiography, the novel, the cyclic short story. In these he develops a spiritual pursuit of his very own, poised betwwen revelation and restraint

Full textAbstract:
La création littéraire de I. A. Bounine, poète et prosateur russe, représente un phénomène esthétique extrêmement original et dont la dimension n'est pas toujours reconnue à sa juste valeur. Son œuvre est souvent réduite à une somme d'influences provenant de la tradition classique. Or, la véritable spécificité de la poétique de Bounine est liée à sa vision nostalgique. La nostalgie ne peut pas être interprétée comme un thème parmi d'autres, ni comme une simple tonalite psychologique de l'œuvre bouninienne. Elle représente le principe même de sa vision poético-philosophique. Le dépassement de la fonctionnalité socio-psychologique s'accomplit précisément à travers "la nostalgisation" : le réel est défonctionnalisé, arraché au temps, il commence à exister dans sa valeur esthétique propre. La vision nostalgique s'exprime à tous les niveaux de l'univers poétique de Bounine (caractères, sujet, style)I. A. Bounine is a Russian poet and prose writer whose literary creation shows an extremely original aesthetic phenomenon the importance of which is not always appreciated as it should be. His work is often reduced to a certain number of influence coming from the classical tradition. Indeed, the specificity of Bounine's poetic is linked with his nostalgic vision. Nostalgia can be interpreted neither as a theme among others nor as a common psychological tone in Bounine's works. It is the very principle of his poetico-philosophical vision. The overstepping of the socio-psychological functionality is precisely achieved through "them nostalgisation": the real is defunctionalised, pulled out of time, it starts existing in its own aesthetic value. The nostalgic vision expresses itself in all the levels of Bounine's poetical universe (characters, subject, style)

Full textAbstract:
During the 1630s, congregations began to separate from the established Anglican Church forming new autonomous groups. This study examines separatist and Baptist women s writings from this period, as they struggled under the persecution of the religious authorities and under the increasingly strict rules of their congregations. These women s writings could not have been imagined without the proliferation of these new congregations, but, as well as providing a platform for women to publish, these groups imposed their own rules on what women could express in public. Considering separatist and Baptist women as part of their congregations is integral to an understanding of their work, and it is on this that this study focuses. Although their writings relate and analyse their own relationship with God, this is always presented as a sign of the progress of God s people as a whole. Through an analysis organised along doctrinal and congregational lines, this study draws attention to women who have received little or no literary critical (or indeed historical) attention, by considering the genres they utilised as part of their membership. Women writers of conversion narratives, in particular, have not received as much critical attention as more remarkable women who prophesied or who were associated with male writers. The voices of little-studied women like An Collins, Sarah Davy, Deborah Huish, Sara Jones, Susanna Parr, Katherine Sutton, Jane Turner, Anne Venn, the anonymous speaker of Conversion Exemplified and the contributors to the collections of John Rogers and Henry Walker deserve to be heard alongside the reported words of Mary Allein, Anne Harriman, Dorothy Hazzard, and Elizabeth Milbourne, and better known writers such as Anna Trapnel and Agnes Beaumont. The study will also draw on works that are not currently widely available, which have therefore received very little critical attention. Often compared to Deborah, the biblical Mother in Israel (Judges 5:7), women in these gathered churches were instrumental in bringing forth joy to their metaphorical children of Israel, by prophesying ways in which enemies of their congregations would face retribution and by continually strengthening church practices in time for the second coming of Christ. This study explores the various ways in which these mid-seventeenth-century women worked to strengthen their congregations through their writings, believing that they had been divinely inspired to edify those whose practice was wanting, and vindicate rightful walking in his name.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores the development of prose fiction continuations from Sir Philip Sidney’s Arcadia to the novels of Samuel Richardson. Examining instances in which a text was continued by someone other than its original author, I ask precisely what this distinction means historically: what factors create a system of literary value in which certain continuations are defined as ‘spurious,’ and how does the discourse surrounding these texts participate in changing attitudes toward authorship, originality, and narrative closure? My work thus contributes to recent critical efforts to historicise authorship and literary property, using prose fiction examples that have not previously been discussed in this context. Analysing the rhetorical strategies found within paratextual materials such as prefaces, dedications, and advertisements, I establish how writers of continuations discuss the motivations for their works, how these are marketed and received, and how the authors of the source texts (or their representatives) respond to them. Through close reading, the dissertation traces the development of persistent metaphors for literary property across these texts, focusing on images of land, paternity, and the author’s ‘spirit.’ The introductory chapter addresses these metaphors’ significance, defines the main elements of continuations, and situates them within the historical context of a growing print marketplace and developments in copyright law. The dissertation then presents a series of case studies of the most documentarily-rich instances of continuation across the period. Starting with The Countess of Pembroke’s Arcadia, published posthumously in an incompletely-revised form, Chapter 2 shows how its gaps allowed other writers to continue the story, while Chapter 3 studies the metaphorical approaches to authorship taken in the continuations’ paratexts. Chapter 4 examines two Restoration texts, The English Rogue and The Pilgrim’s Progress, which combine the Arcadia continuations’ concern about the author’s honour with issues of commercial competition. The intersection of profit, reputation and copyright protection brought out in this chapter is reflected in the subsequent discussion of the career of Samuel Richardson. Chapter 5 shows him responding to public challenges to his authorial control following the success of Pamela, whereas Chapter 6 explores the more private assertions of authority taking place within Richardson’s correspondence during the publication of Clarissa and Sir Charles Grandison. Finally, my conclusion summarises the subsequent legal and critical privileging of original over continuation, emphasising the historical contingency of this process. The broad chronological scope of the dissertation allows the frames of all these texts to inform each other for the first time, crossing the established critical boundary between the ‘romance’ and the ‘novel.’ This approach reveals continuities as well as differences, enabling me to construct a more nuanced picture of Early Modern approaches to prose continuations and authorial ownership. In establishing links between law and literature, the project also provides an important historical context for contemporary debates about copyright, fanfiction, and literary property.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to find the virtue ethics John Bunyan presents in Pilgrim´s Progress part 1, compared with the virtues Max Weber presents, and then try Weber´s theory on the empirical data, Pilgrim´s Progress. When I compare the virtues in Weber´s theory with the virtues in Pilgrim´s Progress, I interpret Weber´s theory as limited. From Weber´s theory emerges the puritan virtues: fulfillment of duty, struggle, self-control and live simply. He also mentions gratitude to God and helpfulness to other people, but this is shown through work in the society. These virtues can also be found in Pilgrim´s Progress. The fulfillment of duty in Weber´s theory is mainly focused on work-ethic, while I interpret the fulfillment of duty in Pilgrim´s Progress more focused on the struggle with the Belief in God. The virtues self-control and to live simply is clearly seen in both sources, which strengthens this part of Weber´s theory. The most interesting thing is that I found several virtues in Pilgrim´s Progress, which Weber did not attributed any significant. These are: forgiveness, help, spiritual communion, and gratitude to God.

Full textAbstract:
In this essay I’ve been looking to extend the knowledge regarding the construction as someone as “the other”. The aim is to examine if it is possible to depict and find a general picture of ”the other”, as he/she is described in the media. I’m not alone in examining this, and I present several works which are somewhat similar to this essay. My work is special however, in that I’ve decided to examine the picture of “the other" by examining how four different Swedish newspapers wrote about the first Russian and the first Chilean Nobel prize winner in literature, Ivan Bunin (1933) and Gabriela Mistral (1945). To be more specific, I’ve been asking the following thematic questions, to find answers to my initial question: Is “the other” portrayed differently, as a result of the winners’ native countries? Is "the other” portrayed differently, as a result of the winners’ social class or gender? Is it possible to distinguish any interesting differences and similarities in how “the other” is constructed, in diverse political schools? Through my findings I’ve discovered that the term “the other” isn’t a homogenous one, as it varies from situation to situation. In Bunin’s case the political aspect of the term tended to outweigh the ethnical one. In other words, the fact that Bunin, in the reporting, is constructed as someone who can represent the political views of the magazine (or is otherfied, as someone who’s representing deviating views), was considered more interesting than portraying a picture of Russia as “the other”. In Mistral’s case the newspapers tended to focus more on her otherness, as a female, in contrast to how the maleness is considered to be normal. There’s also a view of South American people as a whole – as embodied in Mistral – as something different and “other” compared to the Swedish.

Ribonuclease T1 oligonucleotide fingerprint (ONF) analysis was used to study genomic stability of La Crosse virus (Bunyaviridae) during vertical and horizontal transmission in the laboratory. No RNA genomic changes were detected in vertebrate cell culture-propagated virus isolated (following oral ingestion and replication) from the natural mosquito host, Aedes triseriatus. Genomic changes were not detected during transovarial passage of virus through two generations of mosquitoes or in virus isolated from suckling mice infected by transovarially infected mosquitoes. These results demonstrate that the La Crosse virus genome can remain relatively stable during transovarial transmission (TOT) in the insect host and during transfer between insect and vertebrate hosts. ONF analysis was used to demonstrate TOT of reassortant California serogroup bunyaviruses in Aedes treiseriatus. Mosquitoes were simultaneously inoculated with temperature sensitive mutants of La Crosse and Snowshoe hare viruses able to replicate at 33°C but not at 40°C. Putative reassortants, selected by replication at 40°C, were isolated from progeny mosquitoes and mice infected by these mosquitoes. ONF analysis confirmed that they were reassortants. Approximately 75% of the M segment and 25% of the L segment nucleotide sequences of Inkoo virus (Bunyaviridae) were determined by Sanger dideoxynucleotide sequencing of cDNA clones. Comparison of the M segment nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences with those of four other bunyaviruses, representing two serogroups, revealed greater conservation of nucleotide than of amino acid sequence between serogroups. Areas of the sequences representing nonstructural protein(s) were less conserved than glycoprotein regions. The L segment nucleotide sequence begins with the known 3' end of the viral L segment and contains an open reading frame encoding the amino terminal 505 amino acids of the viral L protein. The amino acid sequence contains the glycine-aspartate-aspartate motif which is conserved in many RNA-dependent RNA polymerases. Comparison of the L segment sequences with those in the GEN Bank Data Base revealed no significant similarities with any other sequence.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis I combine 40Ar/39Ar geochronology and tectonics to investigate porphyry and epithermal deposits along the northern collisional margin of the Australian continental lithosphere using case studies on the islands of New Guinea and Sulawesi. The tectonic evolution of these islands reflects the effects of progressive northward movement after rifting off from Gondwana, with this movement involving interaction with multiple subduction zones and several accretion events. The island of New Guinea contains a number of world-class porphyry deposits forming the New Guinea copper-gold belt, including the world’s largest gold producer Grasberg. In comparision, the island of Sulawesi hosts multiple small and medium sized deposits but no major porphyries like New Guinea. The work reported here established the age of the hydrothermal system at the Yandera porphyry, located in the northern highlands of Papua New Guinea. The 3 Ma age obtained is younger than lithologies observed in drill core, or at the surface, suggesting that mineralisation in Yandera is genetically unrelated to the Yandera Porphyry suite of intrusives, making Yandera a detached/wallrock porphyry. Argon geochronology using step heating diffusion experiments was shown capable of identifying the age of hydrothermal overprinting, and providing an age for mineralisation U-Pb geochronology from an earlier study showed the porphyry suite to be 6.3-7.1 Ma. The age of ductile fabrics, interpreted to be related to an extensional shear zone, and metamorphism in the Bundi Fault Zone, north of the Yandera deposit, was established to be 8-13 Ma, which is coeval with the emplacement of the Bismarck Intrusive Complex and smaller satellite intrusives. These ages were much older than the mineralisation at Yandera. Thus the surface geology, except for younger fauts, was largely irrelevant to the formation of the deposit, except in respect to ground preparation. Geochronology of the Tombulilato, Tapadaa and Gunnung Pani deposits on the North Arm of Sulawesi also produced very young ages ranging from 5.5-1.8 Ma. Similar to Yandera,the Tapadaa porphyry deposit was also found to be hosted in an igneous intrusion that was older than the age of mineralisation, placing Tapadaa in a similar time period to the nearby epithermal deposits in Tombulilato. This thesis also reports the analysis of earthquake hypocenters and seismic tomography datasets, used to interpret the geometry and structure of subducted lithosphere beneath the areas of interest. The Yandera deposit and deposits in the North Arm of Sulawesi were found to be located above portions of subducted lithosphere adjacent to slab tears. Deposits were also found to be associated with structures and processes that should allow the fast ascent of magmas through the crust such as major strike-slip faults and uplift. Formation of the deposits of Tombulilato and Tapadaa was interpreted to occur as a result of north-directed subduction and rollback of the Molucca Sea Slab. Formation of the Yandera deposit was interpreted to occur due to tearing of subducted lithosphere as the result of oblique collision with the Finisterre terrane. The formation of these deposits was proposed to coincide with initiation of movement on nearby major strike-slip faults. (U-Th)/He geochronology showed that the Yandera deposit formed during a period of rapid denudation/exhumation of the New Guinea Highlands. Analysis of published ages conducted in this thesis for deposits in the Southwest Pacific indicates that the temporal distribution of these deposits is not random, suggesting region-scale controls on the formation of such deposits. This implies large scale tectonic and/or mantle processes play a part in the formation of such deposits. Possible geodynamic scenarios are discussed in the final chapter.
