Full textIn Food, four graduate students, all to varying degrees perverse, come together in a cabalistic union. Bored and desperate, they begin to transgress a series of taboos, eventually performing communal acts of aggression, murder, and even cannibalism. Frank West, one of the students, is the novel's narrator and questionable moral center. It is through his confession that the four's "monstrous deeds" are filtered through.
Thematically, Food examines the potential for evil in individuals, as well as the group dynamics which encourage such acts of violence to erupt.
The required critical afterward looks at cannibalism as a literary trope in Food and Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, discussing how the athropophagous act can be read as a symbolic one, simultaneously creating and destroying boundaries between various dichotomies (such as eater/eaten or self/other) related to notions of identity.

Full textThis thesis consists of a study of Neil Gaiman’s American Gods in the light of its connections to other texts as well as the punctual insertions of various texts from other works in the novel’s prose. The proposed reading of Gaiman’s text employs the concepts of intertextuality and archetypes in order to further analyze the relation of the plot of American Gods to the various uses of texts - that were not originally written by the book’s author – which are inserted (or alluded to) in the novel’s prose. Although the object of study is generally seen as a book that is hard to brand within a certain genre, this thesis’ approach to the novel demonstrates that movement and the continuous flow of speeches (texts) and styles in the novel’s prose comprises an outsider’s view of America and how the country came into existence – that is, that it is the geographical conflux not only of many peoples, but also of many beliefs and cultures, which in some way or other brought their gods with them. This examination of the use of intertexts, intratexts and archetypes in the novel is structured in three main chapters: The first chapter contextualizes the myths that appear in the novel and discusses the issues of genre and the concept of America in Gaiman’s text. The second chapter analyzes Gaiman’s use of myths in relation to other works – the original manuscripts of ancient beliefs as well as modern instances of myth and allegory – along with the connections between American Gods and Gaiman’s other works according to Affonso de Sant’Anna’s concept of intratextuality. Finally, the third chapter focuses on the punctual uses of intertexts in the novel, breaking them down into literary allusions, references to pop culture and the conflict between the digital era and the age of religious faith, and the use of archetypes and appropriation in the novel’s prose. At the end of the work, I aim to assert my belief that the intertextual nature of the novel is essential to its plot and setting, and re-defines the concept of late-90’s/early 2000’s America as a multicultural, dynamic mythical space.

Full textThis thesis is an exploration of the transformation of body and mind through Haitian dance from depth and liberation psychological perspectives. More personally, it focuses on the author’s transformational experience while being part of a Haitian dance community in Brooklyn, New York. Haitian dance is ingrained in Haitian culture, which embodies the history of Haitian people, mythology, gods, music, rituals, and ceremonies. This hermeneutic research examines Haitian dance as a way to access the somatic unconscious and support psychological healing and individuation. The research describes the somatic experience of archetypal energies, embodied consciousness, and myths through Haitian dance and how this enhances healing. In addition, this thesis explains how the author’s Haitian dance class provides healing for both individuals and a community from a liberation psychology perspective. Through dance, dialogue, and activism, participants gain deeper understandings of themselves and each other’s history and experiences.

Full textVivemos um momento histórico ímpar, no qual, apesar da aparente consolidação de um sistema de produção e seus eventuais reflexos na super-estrutura sócio-jurídica, os indivíduos não encontram certezas, apenas vagos referenciais. Os questionamentos em todas as áreas do saber humano se desdobram em miragens e, especialmente nas ciências sociais, a busca pelas respostas às indagações existenciais passa necessariamente pela interdisciplinaridade. Confiando ser esta tendência a melhor opção a ser tomada, objetivando analisar as organizações - sua estrutura, personagens, interação e conflitos - esta pesquisa recorreu a conceitos da Antropologia Cultural, Semiótica, Lingüística e Psicologia . A abordagem da cultura e estrutura organizacional foi parametrizada pelo papel da linguagem e do poder, sua interelação e conflito, dentro das organizações.

The basic tools used to analyze the organizations´ cultural features were language and power.

Full textCe mémoire explore le shamanisme de l'esprit animal (chuma xian) tel qu'il existe en tant que phénomène dans la province de Liaoning dans la République Populaire de Chine. Les aspects de cette forme de shamanisme qui sont discutés et analysés incluent ses origines, son développement et ses pratiques spécifiques, ses liens avec le shamanisme Manchu et le culte Han du renard ainsi que ses implications avec le Bouddhisme, le Daoisme et d'autres cultes mineurs. L'histoire et les caractéristiques de la pratique chuma xian sont étroitement reliés aux questions de pouvoir et reflètent certains aspects de la théorie du pluralisme du pouvoir de Michel Foucault. Cette thèse soutient que la pratique chuma xian est le produit de particularités historiques et ethnographiques locales et qu'elle est un moyen, pour la population de Liaoning et spécialement au sein de groupes socio économiquement défavorisés, d'exercer des croyances religieuses.

Full textThis study begins by recognising the religiously plural context in which the Christian churches currently exist. It discusses the various forces that impel the churches towards recognition of and dialogue with those of other faiths, as well as factors that hinder this process. It mentions a variety of ways in which theology - in particular, the theological understanding of the relationship between the Christian churches and other faith communities - is influenced by its context. In an attempt to identify a model within the Judaeo-Christian tradition that will provide a basis for inter-faith dialogue, the study proposes an exploration of the relationship between Yahweh and the gods of the nations as reflected in the the prophetic writings known as Deutero- and Trito-Isaiah, writings that almost certainly emerged from two particular periods in the history of the people of lsrael: the Babylonian exile and the early post-exilic period in Palestine. The study outlines historical developments within these two periods. It explores the various religious beliefs - Babylonian, Palestinian and Persian - that together formed the multi-faith context for Deutero- and Trito-Isaiah.

Full textVid transporter av farligt gods är informationen en avgörande faktor. Att rätt information vid rätt tidpunkt finns tillgänglig är väldigt viktigt vid händelse av olycka. Informationen utgör även en viktig faktor vid transportuppdrag som omfattas av flera olika transportslag i en dörr till dörr transport. Ett transportslag som i hög grad är beroende av andra transportslag för att utföra den här typen av transportuppdrag är sjöfarten. Sam-tidigt som internationella krav ställs på ökad säkerhet vid sjötransporter är Sjöfartsverket i hög grad intresserade av att effektivisera sjöfarts-näringen. Sjöfartsverket har avsikten att utveckla ett nationellt informationssystem för sjöfarten där bland annat informationsutbytet som rör farligt gods ska ske elektroniskt genom en sjöfartsportal. Med anledning av det har en kravspecifikation för en sjöfartsportal tagits fram.
Med tyngdpunkten på sjötransporter beskriver det här arbetet hur informationsflödet sker vid transporter av farligt gods där även väg- och järnvägstransporter ingår i transportkedjan. Genom intervjuer med involverade aktörer har det informationsflöde som genereras i samband med transporter av farligt gods kartlagts. Kartläggningen baseras på det informationsflöde som uppstår i samband med sjötransporter av farligt gods via Norrköpings hamn och har även resulterat i att ett antal problemområden identifierats.
Kartläggningen visar även att det ställs ett flertal olika krav på att rapportera och anmäla en transport av farligt gods. Kartläggningen har därefter legat till grund för att utvärdera vilken inverkan den framtagna kravspecifikationen för Sjöfartsportalen kan få på det kartlagda informationsflödet. Vid utvärderingen har även hänsyn tagits till de olika regelverk som transporter av farligt gods är förknippade med samt kravspecifikationens inverkan på de identifierade problemområdena.
Några av de viktigaste resultaten och slutsatserna är att det finns förutsättningar att komma tillrätta med vissa av de identifierade problemområdena vid en implementering av Sjöfartsportalen. Sjöfartsportalen kan framförallt innebära mindre dubbelrapportering, enhetlig information och mindre manuellt arbete för hamn och agent. Utvärderingen tyder emellertid på att det kan krävas vissa justeringar i kravspecifikationen, alternativt att implementeringen av Sjöfartsportalen sker i ett senare skede. En annan slutsats av utvärderingen är att säkerheten vid sjötransporter kan höjas genom att integrera olika anmälningar kring farligt gods.
Med kartläggningen och Sjöfartsportalen som bakgrund diskuteras avslutningsvis åtgärder för att öka integreringen mellan de olika transportslagen och det informationsflöde som uppstår vid transporter av farligt gods.
