Full textAbstract:
The photographer discusses the work in Exegesis, his Master of Fine Arts exhibition held at Slocumb Galleries, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, Tennessee from October 29 through November 2, 2007. The exhibition consists of 19 large format color photographs representing and edited from a body of work that visually negotiates the photographer's home in East Tennessee.
The formulation of a web of influence is explored with a focus on artists who continue to pertain to Brown's work formally and conceptually. Included are photographers Eugene Atget, Walker Evans, William Eggleston, and Mike Smith as well as the artist Joseph Cornell, the painter Robert Motherwell, and the poet Charles Wright. Other topics include a discussion of place, particularly one's home, as a resource and an envelope for a body of work.
Included are images of the photographer's earlier work and a catalogue of the exhibition.

Full textAbstract:
"This thesis presents a considered artistic statement about how I experience and how I strive to embody, my notion of reality through the process of painting and drawing. It considers the activity of the creation of reality through a synthesis of perceptual and conceptual functioning. The thesis proposes that when a painted surface is viewed, the marks on this plane are arranged by the mind of the viewer to form an image which becomes infused with meaning. The created visual structures, in this way, promote a formerly undiscovered, conceptual reality."Master of Arts

Previous issue date: 2006-08-30The objective of the present dissertation was to compare a Jewish commentary (Midrash Rabbah) and two Syriac commentaries (Ephrem s commentary and an anonymous one) on the book of Exodus, especially on Ex 2,23-3,15. The study revealed some similarities that could be explained by a Jewish origin of some Syriac exegetical elements. But on the whole the Syriac commentaries are very different from the Jewish one. The Syriac exegetes, in the line of the Antiochene litteralist and historicist exegetical tradition, seldom show the same richness as the Jewish commentarist. The latter displays both a deep respect for the text in its tiniest details and much freedom to create new meanings from the text. That difference finds an echo in the modern hermeneutic reflection, which tries to find a balance between the intentio auctoris and the intentio lectoris.
Esta dissertação teve por objetivo de comparar um comentário judaico (Midrash Rabbah) e dois comentários siríacos (comentário de Efrém e comentário anônimo) do livro do Êxodo, e particularmente do trecho Ex 2,23-3,15. Embora tenham aparecido alguma semelhanças que poderiam se explicar por uma origem judaica de alguns elementos exegéticos siríacos, os comentários siríacos são muito diferentes do comentário judaico. Os exegetas siríacos, herdeiros da tradição exegética literalista e historicista antioquena, raramente mostram a mesma riqueza criativa do que o comentarista judeu. Este demonstra ao mesmo tempo um profundo respeito pelo texto, nos seus mínimos detalhes, e uma grande liberdade para criar sentidos novos a partir do texto. Dessa diferença parece fazer eco a reflexão hermenêutica moderna, quando tenta achar um ponto de equilíbrio entre intentio auctoris e intentio lectoris.

Foxall, Gemma. "When autism strikes (an exegesis)." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2020. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/2299.
Full textAbstract:
The structure of this thesis is twofold: a creative work and exegesis. The creative work is a book entitled When Autism Strikes, and documents my family's journey into the world of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the actions taken to reduce the disabling features of my son's diagnosis. The text is supplemented with commentary sections, presenting information gathered from my professional and personal experiences.
The creative work uses the writing genre known as Creative Nonfiction and shares scenes over the course of one year in the characters’ lives. Character development and first person dialogue create an emotive narrative to link together clinical disciplines not usually integrated in published work. Relevant in-text links to academic literature and references are cited at the end of each of the three parts, so that readers are supported to learn more about significant publications. Key features of Autism Spectrum Disorder that underpin the clinical diagnostic terms are incorporated into the story to demonstrate the complexity and broadness of the condition.
Whilst the creative work has implicit discussion points and messages, the exegesis explicitly explores and reviews the issues highlighted in the creative work. The methodology underpinning this research is Practice-based research, and sourced data according to the four perspectives I bring to the project, that of: therapist, researcher, parent and teacher. The evolution of the research design is discussed in the exegesis and how data were presented to produce the creative work. When Autism Strikes communicates information in a new way, thereby creating a novel contribution to the academic community, and pending future publication, the broader audience for whom it is written.

Curtin, Amanda. "Ellipsis: a novel and exegesis." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2006. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/337.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis comprises a novel entitled 'Ellipsis' and an exegesis entitled 'Ellipsis: Ambiguous genre, ambiguous gender'. The novel blends archival records and fiction into two woven narratives, one contemporary, one historical. In the contemporary narrative, set in 2004-2005, Willa Samson, flayed by guilt and grieving the loss of her daughter, is a hermit, unable to work, communicating with the world mainly through the Internet. But her desire to research a fragment of local history that has haunted her for years gently forces her back into the world. Willa is convinced that in the story of a nineteenth-century murder she can see an unlikely parallel with her daughter: that, like Imogen, the victim was intersexed. The historical narrative is a speculative telling of the life of the murder victim, known as Little Jock.
Imogen's story, which unfolds through Willa's memories, dramatises the devastating though well-intentioned protocol established by twentieth-century medicine for dealing with intersex births: 'normalising' surgery to fashion the newborn into the sex deemed to be appropriate, followed by hormone treatment, rigid social conditioning and an aura of secrecy to silence any confusion or hint of difference. Imogen grows up suspecting that she is different, but no one will tell her the truth.
Little Jock must also keep bodily truth hidden, for in the nineteenth century intersexuals-then termed 'hermaphrodites'-were often exploited as freaks. After leaving Northern Ireland during the Potato Famine, the child who becomes Little Jock finds, in the tenement slums of Glasgow, a place to disappear. A series of petty crimes results in his transportation to Western Australia-one of the nearly ten thousand convicts plucked from English prisons and sent to the Swan River Colony. The authorities believed all of them were male.
Willa's research leads her to Scotland and Northern Ireland, and finally to Western Australia's South West, helped along the way by genealogists-people who cherish the bonds of family and history. And in the search for Little Jock, she draws closer to understanding what has happened to Imogen.
The exegesis, after outlining the provenance of the novel's research, is structured as two essays linked by the themes of ambiguity and classification. The first, on ambiguous genre, sets out to investigate the framing (that is, in the form of an explanatory note) of hybrid sub genres of fiction, novels that draw directly or indirectly on people, events and issues that are part of the historical record. In considering what authors should say about 'what is real and what is not,' the essay canvasses ethics and reader expectations, the right to speak and the freedom to create, and the ways books are marketed, classified and read. The second essay, on ambiguous gender, draws on historical aspects of the classification of intersexed people, along with gender theory, to consider 'Ellipsis' in terms of the social forces acting on the ambiguous bodies of Little Jock in the nineteenth century and Imogen in the twentieth century, and how these characters survive in bodies that pose a challenge to deeply held cultural norms.

Moor, Sarah Kathryn. "Trace, a novel and exegesis." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 2010. https://eprints.qut.edu.au/32154/1/Sarah_Moor_Thesis.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
Trace concerns writing-walking and walking-writing. The multiple voices of both novel and exegesis assemble a rhizomic map of a walk and create a never-entirely-certain wandering look upon a woman walking, rather than a single cocksure gaze. Trace explores the aesthetics of Western walking literature and the various nostalgias inherent in that tradition. Trace wonders how lost a character can become on a walk and whether a walk is itself a kind of becoming. In the undefined liminal space where the urban bleeds into the rural, Trace challenges the singular perspective of the dominating gaze with a wandering look, which aims to make an original contribution to both the walk in literature and to exegetical form.

Hillier, Richard John. "Baptismal exegesis in Arator's Historia Apostolica." Thesis, Durham University, 1990. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/6077/.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to examine the Historla Apostolica (AD 544) not as an example of 'biblical epic' nor as a literary paraphrase but as a commentary on The Acts of the Apostles, and in particular to signal Arator's concern to explain the text in terms of its baptismal significance. The opening chapter reviews previous approaches to the H.A. and is followed by a survey of Arator's interpretation and interpolation of baptismal material, showing both how those episodes In Acts which deal specifically with baptism are given extended exegetical attention, and how baptismal significance is frequently divined in passages which have no obvious baptismal connection. The central chapters examine in detail the episodes of the poem which are of most baptismal importance. Two deal with Arator's exegesis of explicitly baptismal situations: Simon Magus' failure to receive the Spirit is presented as being prefigured in the failure of the raven to return to the ark, a parallel also drawn by Augustine; the Ethiopian eunuch is presented in accordance with the Ethiopian’ exegesis first formulated by Orlgen. Four more chapters examine episodes which Arator deems of implicit baptismal significance: the ascension is interpreted In terms of the baptism and ascent' of the individual; the healing of the paralytic Is explained as the baptismal healing of the wounds of circumcision; Paul's speech at Antloch becomes an exposition of the typological significance of the crossing of the Red Sea; the name Aquila prompts a digression on the baptismal Implications of the rejuvenation of the eagle. The aim is not to discover indisputable sources for all of Arator's ideas, but rather to place the H.A. in its exegetical context, and to trace the development and popularity of baptismal symbolism in the first six centuries AD.

O objetivo dessa pesquisa é participar da discussão acerca das diferentes concepções de Platão e Aristóteles a respeito da natureza e do estatuto ontológico dos entes matemáticos. Enquanto Platão situa o âmbito ontológico dos entes matemáticos entre dois mundos, o sensível e o inteligível, Aristóteles nega o caráter supra-sensível dos objetos matemáticos e oferece como resposta a sua filosofia empirista da matemática. Aristóteles teria dirigido duras críticas contra Platão e os acadêmicos nos dois últimos livros da Metafísica, M e N, respectivamente. Desde a antiguidade, vários autores sustentam que tais críticas referem-se às “doutrinas não-escritas” de Platão, que seriam cursos por ele ministrados na Academia, cujo teor ele não quis escrever por considerar que somente à dialética oral caberia o ensinamento dos primeiros princípios. Utilizando uma metodologia de pesquisa filosófica e também a história da filosofia e da matemática, foram abordados diversos textos, que vão desde livros e artigos atuais, até as próprias obras de Platão e Aristóteles relacionadas ao tema. Como parte das reflexões finais, o presente trabalho destaca a importância da exegese para uma correta interpretação das filosofias da matemática de Platão e Aristóteles e ainda das relações entre elas.
The research aim is the discussion about Plato and Aristotle’s different conceiving about the nature and the ontological status of mathematical entities. While Plato located the ontological scope of mathematical entities between two worlds, the sensible and the intelligible, Aristotle denies the character “super-sensible” of the mathematical entities and offers in response his own empiricist philosophy of mathematics. Aristotle would have direct harsh criticism to Plato and the academics in two last books of his Metaphysics, M and N, respectively. Since ancient times several authors argue that these criticism refer to “unwritten doctrines” of Plato, that they would be courses that he taught at the Academy, whose contents he did not want to write because he had believe that only oral dialectic should teach the first principles. Using a philosophical methodology of research and also the history of philosophy and mathematics several texts were discussed, like current books and articles as well as works of Plato and Aristotle about the theme. As part of final reflection, the present work highlights the exegesis importance for a correct interpretation of the mathematics philosophy from Plato and Aristotle and even the relationships between them.

Full textAbstract:
Besides providing a biographical sketch of Bint al-Shati', this thesis analyzes her intellectual growth and provides the necessary information about her works relating to Qur'anic studies. The study also surveys al-Khuli's method of Qur'anic exegesis and Bint al-Shati' thinspace's attempts to apply it to her own works. Our analysis focuses on her works on Qur'anic studies such as al-Tafsir al-Bayani li al-Qur'an al-Karim, Maqal fi al-Insan and al-I'jaz al-Bayani li al-Qur'an wa Masa'il Ibn al-Azraq. The distinguishing features of her philological and thermatic approach are discussed and the main results obtained by the practical application of this method are shown to bring refreshing insights into the meaning of the Qur'an.

Galadari, Abdulla. "Spiritual ritual : esoteric exegesis of Hajj rituals." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2013. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=211314.
Full textAbstract:
Religion has a spiritual message embedded, as its purpose is to establish a relationship between the seen and the unseen worlds. However, to allow people to understand its spiritual message, it uses symbolism in such a way that the physical person would try to comprehend the inner meanings of the spiritual message that lies therein. This study is not about ‘how' the Hajj rituals are to be performed, because the answer to that question is trivial and have been thoroughly studied throughout centuries. This study is an attempt to answer the question ‘why.' Why is the Hajj to be performed in a certain way? This study delves into what must be a deeper meaning. Its methodology is through the etymological usage of the terminologies textually and intertextually between Scriptures, including the Qur'an and the Bible. It attempts to explore the polysemous nature of the root words and to resurrect the inner meanings that can be ascertained from the root. This study introduces a new methodology for Scriptural hermeneutics, while comparing the methods used by Biblical and Qur'anic scholars. Once the methodology is established, it is applied to increase understanding of the inner meanings of the Hajj rituals portraying the journey of a dead soul from death, sacrifice of the ego, resurrection into life, and spreading the seeds and Water of Life to other dead souls trying to fight their egos and, likewise, resurrect them into life.

Bayes, Chantelle Jasmin. "Writing Urban Nature: A Novel and Exegesis." Thesis, Griffith University, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/10072/366592.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is comprised of a novel and exegesis which explores how contemporary fiction can contribute to understandings of nature and culture, questioning oppositional dualisms and ultimately re-placing the human within nature. The exegesis discusses how fiction writers might engage with nature in their writing, by concentrating on the potential of urban environments – places where nature and culture co-exist. I argue that through fiction, writers can re-imagine cities in ways that extend contemporary ideas of place, nature, urban experience and ecologies.
I use several methodologies in the creation of this novel and exegesis including practice-led research, eco-criticism, reflection, and embodied experience. My aim is to develop a method of writing-practice based on the hybrid role of doctoral candidate as creative writer/researcher and nature writing as a hybrid of poetic and scientific expression. I walk the boundary between real and fictional, natural and cultural, self and other. I seek to extend understandings of nature through the concepts of ‘situated knowledges’ and lived experiences with reference to Estelle Barrett and Donna Haraway. By questioning the binary set up between theory and practice, situated knowledge allows engagement between theoretical and creative inquiry and results in a more complex understanding of the creative-practice/research relationship.
I argue that the definition of nature writing can be broadened to include fiction, urban areas and narratives that contribute a range of knowledge (poetic, scientific, personal, relational, and mythical). I consider the way language and meaning might play a role in understanding place and non-human nature. By re-conceptualising the way landscape, terroir, wilderness, country and nature are used and understood, I find new ways to think about nature/culture relationships. Eco-criticism, particularly through a social ecology lens has provided me with a critical frame to negotiate my own use and understanding of these conceptions.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Papas, Maria. "Familiar places — (Re)creating “home”: an exegesis." Thesis, Curtin University, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11937/2376.
Full textAbstract:
My thesis — a novel and an accompanying exegesis — addresses the question: what is ‘home’? What are the ways in which it has been and can be understood? And in particular, how can it be represented in narrative fiction so as to take into account its many intricate facets? Framed by my understanding of the relationship between mental inscapes and outward landscapes, I propose that ‘home’ is not so much a geographical space as it is an interpretation of that space, and that, in prose, this interpretation is based on the subjective viewpoint of a narrative focaliser.This said, in my creative practice I explore experiences of ‘home’ through two alternate focalisations. I represent ‘home’ in several ways: as the tension point between nurture and neglect; as a space of transience and fluidity; as an experience of familiarity; and as part of the everyday process of the creation of self. Drawing upon the landscape, culture and community of the places I have lived in — Bunbury, Albany and Perth — and the years I have spent traversing the roads within and between, this is a novel in which the sense of home (or the homelike moment) is constructed out of movement, communication and sociality. This is a novel in which ‘home’ is not just a place; it is an activity.Relative to my creative practice, my exegesis details how the construction of my novel was based on a triangulate relationship between personal experience, theoretical readings and the exemplar of fiction. Each chapter examines ‘home’ from a certain theoretical point of view, and in turn the representational applications of these points of view are studied via a close reading of Thea Astley’s A Descant for Gossips and in my own work. Finally, it is this understanding — point of view, perception, focalisation — that forms the basis of both my creative and theoretical work.

Full textAbstract:
Os Evangelhos canônicos de Mateus, Marcos, Lucas e João constituem o cerne do Novo Testamento bíblico e correspondem aos textos fundadores do mito cristão. Utilizando-se de estratégias de manipulação, convidam o leitor a crer na fé que apresentam, cujo centro de referência é a figura de Jesus. Ao narrarem suas ações e discursos, mobilizam o leitor a acreditar em seu teor e no conjunto de valores por eles transmitidos, os quais são tratados pela semântica discursiva como eufóricos, em detrimento dos valores a que são contrários e, por isto, disfóricos. Dentre estes, estão as estruturas constituídas de poder, tanto o religioso quanto o político, enquanto se constituem meios para tolher a liberdade humana e impedir a convivência pacífica e integral dos seres humanos entre si e com seu Criador. O leitor, uma vez inserido no universo de crenças proposto, é direcionado a realizar um programa narrativo a exemplo do programa realizado nos textos por Jesus: uma série de ações que culminam na conjunção da vida eterna como objeto de valor. A vida eterna é alcançada por Jesus, de acordo com os textos, após oferecer-se em sacrifício pela expiação dos pecados da Humanidade. Da mesma forma, ao leitor é proposto um sacrifício, não idêntico ao de Jesus, mas identificado como o abandono de valores prejudiciais à própria Humanidade, como a injustiça, a soberba e o orgulho. Tendo cumprido esta ação, da mesma forma lhe é dada a ressurreição e, com ela, a vida eterna. A ressurreição e a vida eterna correspondem, por sua vez, à realização, nos textos, em níveis mais profundos, do fazer emissivo e da continuidade da continuidade, equivale à síntese dialética, após a série de transformações por que passa o sujeito. O mito cristão, portanto, constantemente promove a mobilização do sujeito, levando-o a uma constante reavaliação do seu modo de vida e à transformação para que se adéquem aos valores propostos nos Evangelhos. Os cristãos católicos, ortodoxos e anglicanos, por sua vez, bem como alguns outros grupos, podem experimentar a ressurreição no sacramento da Eucaristia, o qual se apresenta como um microcosmo das narrativas dos Evangelhos. Esta vivência sacramental visa, ao lado da leitura das Escrituras, colocar os cristãos em contínua reflexão sobre suas ações para que possam verificar, ainda durante a realização de seu programa narrativo, a sanção que lhes seria dada pelo destinador figurativizado pela divindade. Este trabalho visa, portanto, analisar os textos dos Evangelhos canônicos acerca da paixão, morte e ressurreição de Jesus, conforme a tradução da Bíblia de Jerusalém (2002) numa perspectiva da Teoria Semiótica Greimasiana, como proposta no Dicionário de Semiótica (GREIMAS e COURTÉS, 2008) e seus posteriores desenvolvimentos realizados por Fontanille e Zilberberg (2001), Panier (2010) e Zilberberg (2006a, 2006b, 2011). As reflexões acerca do mito são dadas principalmente por Campbell (2002, 2008b), Eliade (2010) e Lévi-Strauss (1976, 1985). Por sua vez, as reflexões teológicas e exegéticas dos textos tem como base, principalmente, Boff (2012a, 2012b), Grün (2009, 2011a, 2011b, 2012a e 2012b) e Leloup (2000, 2007).The canon of the New Testament, by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, constitutes the core of the biblical New Testament, and corresponds to the founding texts of the Christian myth. Utilizing manipulation strategies, these texts invite the reader to believe in the faith they present, whose referential center is the figure of Jesus. By narrating their actions and speeches, the texts mobilizes the reader to believe in their contents and in the set of values communicated by them, values that are treated as euphoric by the discursive semantics, to the detriment of opposite values which are, therefore, dysphoric. Among these values, there are the established power structures both religious and political , while they represent means to hamper human freedom and hinder thorough and peaceful coexistence of human beings with each other and their Creator. Once inserted in the presented universe of beliefs, the reader is directed to perform a narrative program, similar to that performed by Jesus in the texts: a series of actions that culminate in the conjunction of eternal life as a valuable object. Eternal life is reached by Jesus, according to the texts, after His self-sacrifice for the absolution of humanitys sins. Equally, a sacrifice is proposed to the reader; this sacrifice is not identical to Jesus, but it is identified as the abandonment of values that are harmful to humanity itself, as injustice, presumption and pride. Having completed this action, in the same form, the reader is given resurrection and, with it, eternal life. In the texts, resurrection and eternal life thus correspond to the accomplishment, in deeper levels, of emissive doing and of continuity of continuity, and equals to dialectic syntax, after a series of transformations which the subject suffers. The Christian myth, therefore, constantly promotes the mobilization of the subject, leading him/her to a constant revaluation of his/her lifestyle and to the transformation to meet the values proposed in the Gospels. The Catholic Christians, both Orthodox and Anglican, as well as some other groups, may experience resurrection in the sacramental rite of Eucharist, which presents itself as a microcosm of Gospels narratives. This sacramental experience, paired with the reading of the Gospels, aims at putting Christians into continuous reflection in order to verify, while still performing their narrative program, the sanction that would be given to them by the destinator represented by the deity. This research therefore aims to analyze the texts of the canonical Gospels on the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus, as the translation of the Jerusalem Bible (2002) perspective Greimasian Semiotics Theory, as proposed in Semiotics Dictionary (Greimas and Courtes, 2008) and its subsequent developments made by Fontanille and Zilberberg (2001), Panier (2010) and Zilberberg (2006a , 2006b, 2011). The reflections on the myth are mainly given by Campbell (2002, 2008b) , Eliade (2010) and Lévi- Strauss (1976, 1985). In turn, the theological and exegetical reflections of texts is based mainly Boff (2012a, 2012b ), Grün (2009, 2011a, 2011b, 2012a and 2012b) and Leloup (2000, 2007).

This study presents a work of theatre art in the form of an autobiographical monodrama, supported by three exegeses: a review of informing literature, one of the writing process, the third of the critical reactions to the play at different stages of its development by readers and audiences. The thesis considers the two questions, How can theatre depict my autobiography? and How can monodrama be used to express this autobiography? The first question implies an examination of the process of writing and producing an autobiography for the theatre. The second question is answered through the process that developed in this study towards the choice of the form of a monodrama. The methodology emerged as the play was written and a journal recorded. At times the approach, particularly as it affected the writing of the play, was more like action research in which the play was reacted to and then amended in a cyclical manner, the writer also developing new understandings in the process. The reflective process was used to help in understanding the development that was taking place. A survey, and interviews with audience members were conducted as part of the investigation once the artwork was presented. In addition, after the piece had been developed to the point of presentation, it was subjected to critical evaluation, The data from the audience assisted in the development of the artwork as well as developing an understanding of the research question and the possible answers or further questions. The Generic Exegesis arose out of the reading, and developed as an exegesis accompanying the writing of the play once the form of the play had clearly become a monodrama. The Generic Exegesis is designed to show background reading that has informed directly the writing and performing of the play, 'The Changeling'. A principal objective for writing the play developed from a desire to help others to understand something of the conflicts and dilemmas facing adoptees towards the search for self identity and its relationship to acting. Part of the conflict for an adopted person was crystallised in Derridas concept of erasure and the use of the trace to recognise the coexistence of both sides of a binary, which rationalised the splitting of the central character into the two traces, Dominic and Frank. My need for control of the outcome affected the selection from the autobiography, the development of some scenes, and was one of the reasons for the use of fiction. The data for the Process Exegesis came from the journal that was kept during the writing, production, performance and rewrites of the play. The role of the audience had emerged in the interview data and one of the interview questions asked what kind of audience the respondent thought the play suitable for. The Process Exegesis shows that part of the answer to the research question is arrived at through the systematic recording and analysis of the processes that were involved in the writing of the autobiographical play. These have shown that artistic worth was increased as a factor of the distance achieved. The Critical Exegesis showsthat the issues that the play addressed such as adoption and a search for identity were also perceived as important by the readers and the audience. Significant contributions to the development of the play were made by the Dramaturg (Dl) and some cogent points were made by a second dramaturg. The respondents who were interviewed reacted to the content of the play, namely adoption, identity and the issues associated with them, as well as the performance. This study investigates the processes of the development of an autobiographical performance from the generation of the script to the public presentation. It shows that theatre can artistically depict an autobiography and that the perceived appropriate contemporary theatre formis the monodrama. The main issue to be recognised as arising out of the play and the process is that the whole project has been a search for identity. That identity is defined in the range of characters portrayed in the play as well as the process of writing it. The outcome of the investigation was a piece of dramatic performance text that I had written and performed, accompanied by a critical commentary on the creation, production and reception processes.

This study explores the stages of the hero’s journey in Ella by Laura Danielle Laughlin MacDonald using Joseph Campbell’s monomyth theory as well as the role of gender using Judith Butler’s theories on gender and gender performance. The study seeks to determine whether or not a female hero performing predominantly feminine gender roles can successfully complete the stages of a traditionally male-oriented hero’s journey. A literary analysis of Ella proves that the predominantly feminine gender performance of the hero, Ella, in no way interferes with her success as a hero proving that the traditional structure of the hero’s journey is unnecessarily gendered. The only stages not present in Ella are missing due to the structure of the fantasy world or the nature of the quest and not the hero’s gender.Arts, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
The current research focuses on the spectral nature of sound, its timbre manipulation and contribution to the overall syntax of a composition. It describes the compositional thinking that emerged in the early 20th Century, and further recognized by the spectralists, which acknowledges timbre as an autonomous phenomenon and an agent of music creation. It also describes the spectral composers’ technological advancements and influences from the early electronic studios and the adaptation of electronic techniques in the acoustical domain. Furthermore, it includes my methodology and preoccupations concerning the creation of compositional models and the reliance on dynamic analysis techniques for the fabrication of material that serve as a guide for formal structures.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is in two parts. The first part consists of translations of five medieval commentaries on the Book of Lamentations composed by Rashi, Yosef Kara, and Abraham ibn Ezra. While the Rashi and ibn Ezra commentaries are available in translation, the two written by Yosef Kara are not. These two Kara commentaries contain transliterated Medieval French dialects that are difficult to translate, at least in part, because the copyists did not appear to understand what they were copying. The translation of these texts has, therefore, begun the long task of trying to develop a system by which Kara's Medieval French explanations may be understood. The initial findings are recorded in the translations. The second part of this work concerns the development of a method by which these translations may be better understood. A comparison of eight verses from the Book of Lamentations was made, and a method based on sociolinguistic and literary theory was applied, to attempt an explanation of the use of peshat method of exegesis as a function of meaning.

Betegh, Gábor. "Cosmology, theology, and exegesis in the Derveni papyrus." Paris, EHESS, 1999. http://www.theses.fr/1999EHES0086.
Full textAbstract:
Le papyrus de derveni, trouve en 1962, et date entre 340-320 avant j. -c. , est considere par les papyrologues et par les historiens de la philosophie grecque comme la trouvaille plus importante de la deuxieme moitie de xxe siecle. Malgre l'interet incontestable du document et l'accumulation constante des resultats partiels, le papyrus n'est pas encore integralement edite et on n'a pas encore offert une analyse systematique du texte. A l'exception de quelques articles plus recents, les etudes sur le papyrus examinent le document de differentes points de vue restreints, sans donner une vision comprehensive du texte. Le but ultime de la these est de presenter le papyrus dans une perspective unifiante. Cet objectif a egalement necessite une revision de la methodologie que l'on utilise d'ordinaire dans les travaux sur le papyrus. Au lieu de mener une etude comparative, le travail de reconstruction commence par une lecture interne du texte. C'est seulement apres une analyse intrinseque que on procede a une analyse comparative, aussi bien dans l'examen de la reconstruction du poeme que dans le cas des doctrines de l'auteur de derveni. Le premier chapitre est consacre a la reconstruction du poeme orphique. Le deuxieme chapitre essaie d'explorer les idees theogoniques et cosmologiques exprimees dans le poeme. Le troisieme chapitre traite le systeme d'identification allegorique, du moyen par lequel l'auteur de derveni definit son divinite cosmique. Le quatrieme chapitre se focalise sur le cote physique de la cosmologie de l'auteur, en examinant aussi l'ontologie sous-jacente. Finalement, le cinquieme chapitre examine les doctrines de l'auteur par rapport a certains philosophes presocratiques, notamment a anaxagore, a diogene d'apollonie et a heraclite. La these comporte le texte grec du papyrus, accompagnee d'un apparat critique, d'une traduction anglaise et d'un index verborum complet.

Full textAbstract:
How should Christians live so as to set them apart in manner of life from Jews? This is one of the first questions asked by early Christian exegetes as Christians sought separation from Judaism. 1 While it may seem like a simple and obvious question, it caused heated controversy from the second century well into the present. This struggle for orthodoxy, or an orthodox doctrine, connects to both Christianity within the teachings of Jesus, the Pauline epistles and pseudo-Pauline writings, as well as to the culture and philosophy of the East and West. Much of the debate finds itself being addressed in the broad question "how should a Christian live?" Out of this question came the development of asceticism, marking the beginnings of monasticism.

House, George David Capability. "Pastoral eschatological exegesis in Burchard of Worms' Decretum." Thesis, University of Exeter, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10871/19524.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the relationship between Western eschatological traditions and Bishop Burchard of Worms' extended exegesis on the subject of ‘speculative theology’ within Decretum, Liber Vicesimus (c. 1012-1025). Its purpose is to explore the influence of eschatological theology upon the composition of canon law and its relationship with the administration of pastoral care in the early eleventh century. This will be achieved by investigating the authorities Burchard employed, and the unique ways in which he structured his interpretation of the subject. Chapter one reviews the scholarship on early medieval eschatological exegesis, canon law, and penance, alongside that on Burchard of Worms. Chapter two provides an overview of the history of early medieval western eschatological exegesis (c. 33-1050) and the general conditions that contemporary ecclesiastics would have experienced in relation to the study and construction of eschatological texts. Chapter three considers the historical context for the composition of the Decretum and the manuscript traditions of the Liber Vicesimus. Chapters four, five, and six, extensively analyse the structures and contents of the Liber Vicesimus: Burchard and his team of compilers are shown to have drawn extensively and developed their interpretation of eschatology from Gregory the Greats’ exegetical works, as well as identifying other unique influences. Consequently the thesis demonstrates how Gregory’s exegetical works played a central role in building the textual foundations which shaped the theological parameters governing the eschatological thoughts, beliefs, and writings, of many ecclesiastics during this period. The thesis concludes that Gregory’s work provided churchmen with an authoritative moral framework and rhetoric for the discussion of eschatological phenomena that could be utilised in a variety of ways. It also suggests new ways in which historians should interpret the written traditions that shaped the structure and content of orthodox eschatological texts in this period.

Full textAbstract:
My novel, A Beggar’s Garden, and its accompanying exegesis, ‘Reading in A Beggar’s Garden: being without shadow’ are offered as sites of confluence where the political, the personal, the poetic and the polemic meet, blend, separate, reform and reconfigure. I hope the work rings with the ‘sociological poetics’ described by Paul Dawson – a poetics which recognises the ‘aesthetic or craft-based decisions of a writer are always the result … of ideological or political choice: the choice to employ social languages and the ideologies they embody … the choice to position a literary work in these languages, as an active intervention in the ideological work they perform’ (Dawson 2005: 211, emphasis in original). Critically and creatively I am telling stories that resonate in a contemporary register and with the tone and timbre of the language of affect which has here been derived from what Mark Davis describes as ‘the logic of affect since … this is the logic of contemporary politics and the public sphere’ (Davis 2007: 26-27). I use language as critique and explore through creative, critical and political idioms the intersections where these languages collide to produce the vernacular that positions, forms and informs subjectivity. The images, ideas, historiography and politics embedded in everyday languages are too often violent and proscriptive. I appropriate the violent tendencies laced through everyday languages and use them towards their opposite effect, towards compassion, belonging and dignity for the outcasts, outsiders and outriders of the community.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Adédínà, Fémi A. "Death's laughter (novel) and crafting a novel (exegesis)." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2011. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/388.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis consists of a creative component, a novel, Death’s laughter and an exegetical essay, Crafting a novel. The novel centres on a true Nigerian story: a Pentecostal pastor, who died in a plane crash, was a government official found out to have amassed large sums of money and assets that were far greater than could be accrued from his modest salary. In addition, he was accused of bigamy because he had two wives who did not know each other in two different cities within the country. This basic story serves as the nucleus of the novel. The novel tells the stories of various characters who were created with the intention of telling their own stories and, in doing this, giving the readers a montage of the pastor who was passive but ever present in the novel. Though the pastor dies in Chapter One of the novel, each character -- who is related or has a relationship with the pastor -- tells their own stories and together builds a picture of what happened to the pastor and the kind of person he was. Pastor Jude Akanmu Babajide in the novel represents the Pastor Femi Àkànní, who was the character in the true Nigerian story. This novel does not paint a picture based on the research into the Nigerian pastor, it creates a fictional account of the pastor and of the various characters who populated the novel. As the reader goes through the various tales he/she is given an insight into Nigerian society and an introduction to some Yoruba cultural concepts.

Full textAbstract:
This Exegesis and the Portfolio document referred to herein report on the outcomes of my research towards a PhD in education (by Project) between mid 2001 and July 2005. The Portfolio contains a collection of ten papers written during the research and also a summary of the key tools and processes resulting from the research. This Exegesis contains the major theoretical arguments leading to the development of the research outcomes, the methodology employed and a description of the organisational context operating during the study. It also draws links between the various data sets as presented in the Portfolio. The research began with a consideration of a major change project at RMIT University: the Implementation of the Distributed Learning System (DLS). The problems associated with this project highlighted the need for holistic organisational approaches to change and the uncertain nature of radical change projects. This led into a consideration of broader questions to do with organisational change and managing uncertainty. The generalisability of the research findings was enhanced by the wide ranging literature review and data from a range of stakeholders. This ultimately led to the development of a
