Abstract:
Douglas was born in London in 1828 and migrated to New South Wales in 1851 where he represented both the Darling Downs and Camden districts in the New South Wales parliament before embarking on a lengthy parliamentary career in Queensland, one that culminated in the premiership from 1877 to 1879. He was subsequently appointed government resident for Thursday Island in 1885, a position he held until his death, nearly 20 years later, aged 76, in 1904. During this period he also served as special commissioner for the protectorate of British New Guinea, administering the territory prior to it being formally proclaimed a crown colony. Douglas’s involvement in Queensland public life was significant and encompassed the entire period from the colony’s formation in 1859 to the federation of the Australian colonies in 1901. In this respect, his career allows, through a study of his long, eventful and varied life, for this thesis to examine aspects of the development and progression of Queensland’s political system as a nascent yet robust, representative democracy, through most of the second half of the nineteenth century until the colony’s incorporation in the newly formed Commonwealth of Australia. This thesis argues that John Douglas was an uncompromising Liberal in an age of Liberalism, a principled politician in an era of pragmatic factionalism and shifting political allegiances. Perhapsbecause of this he was more popular with his electorate than with his parliamentary colleagues. Douglas’s contribution to Queensland life was in large measure shaped by his character and the formative influences on it. This included his aristocratic upbringing, his public school and university education, his abiding religious faith, a profound sense of fair play, and a desire to participate fully and selflessly in the life of the community he lived in, despite the vicissitudes of his personal life. As this thesis further demonstrates, an examination of Douglas’s life affords us an insight into an energetic, accomplished, erudite, and compassionate man. Yet while his intellectual curiosity, thirst for knowledge and wide-ranging interests marked him as a Renaissance man, he also had many failings, most noticeably that of extreme obstinacy. Therefore, this thesis will analyse Douglas’s convictions and beliefs while examining the strengths and flaws inherent in his character. It is because Douglas lived a life characterised by complexity and contradiction, leavened by a mixture of accomplishment and failure, that his life, and the times he lived in, are worthy of examination.

Abstract:
Magister Theologiae - MTh
No theologian can credibly claim to be able to speak on behalf of the whole human race in all places at all times and under all circumstances. In recent years theologians stressed the importance of the particular group. In our day authentic theology is characterised by the need to know the self (chapter 1). Douglas John Hall accepts this and therefore consciously theologises on behalf of those in the dominant culture of the North .American continent. He describes the primary characteristic of the human condition of this group of people as the experience of the failure of their symbolic world. This disintegration is especially felt with regard to the perception of the human being (anthropology) . So, in chapter 2 I focus on Hall's theological anthropological perception of those in the dominant culture of the North .American continent. Hall views the primary task of all disciplines in this context - including Christian theology - in the present time as providing resources of meaning in this world of disintegrating symbols. Consequently, he proposes his theological methodology as such a resource. In chapter 3 I focus on Hall's theological methodology as a means out of this present condition of meaninglessness - due to the disintegration of especially the anthropological symbol - for those in the dominant culture of the North American continent

"Thèse présentée à l'Université Laval comme exigence partielle du doctorat en théologie offert à l'Université de Sherbrooke en vertu d'un protocole d'entente avec l'Université Laval pour l'obtention du grade de Philosophiae Doctor (PH D.)."
Dans le contexte de la crise écologique actuelle, la thèse consiste à approfondir la compréhension chrétienne du rapport homme/nature. Le thème du stewardship, de plus en plus présent dans la littérature théo-écologique, apparaît comme une clé pour identifier et exposer la contribution particulière du discours chrétien: celle de repenser les représentations cosmo-anthropologiques, présupposé fondamental à une éthique écologique. Un théologien de chez nous, Douglas John Hall, a longuement exploré cette nouvelle image de l'être humain compris comme steward, une richesse négligée de la tradition judéo-chrétienne, mais combien appropriée à la conversion anthropologique qui s'impose. L'étude systématique du concept de stewardship dans l'œuvre de Hall confirme la pertinence de son emploi comme pivot d'une théologie écologique. Elle fait aussi découvrir des possibilités d'enrichissement de la thématique grâce surtout à l'apport des traditions juive et orthodoxe. Notre essai ouvre finalement la voie à un développement christocentrique qui donne à ce symbole biblique son expression plénière.

Abstract:
Ce mémoire traite de la théologie de la croix de Douglas John Hall dans une perspective ecclésiologique. Il répond à la question suivante : quelle ecclésiologie la théologie de la croix de Hall suggère-t-elle ? En réponse à cette question, le mémoire recense les principales influences de Hall pour aider à comprendre ses préoccupations théologiques. Ensuite, la croix et le contexte sont identifiés comme éléments méthodologiques essentiels de sa théologie de la croix et de son ecclésiologie. Il en va de même des doctrines de Dieu, de la création et du Christ qui sont exposés comme fondements théologiques. D’un Dieu qui souffre, d’une réalité relationnelle et d’un Christ qui représente, ce mémoire en arrive à mettre en évidence une Église qui représente, qui s’engage relationnellement dans son contexte et qui souffre. Cette Église est appelée à représenter le monde auprès du Christ et le Christ auprès du monde. Elle est également appelée à s’engager auprès du contexte dans lequel elle se trouve plutôt que de tenter de fuir la réalité telle qu’elle se présente. Enfin, elle est appelée à souffrir à cause de son identification et de son engagement envers son contexte. En somme, ce mémoire propose une perspective sur les fondements et les éléments d’une doctrine de l’Église chez Hall.
This thesis explores Douglas John Hall’s theology of the cross from an ecclesiological perspective. It aims to answer the following question: What ecclesiology does Hall’s theology of the cross suggest? To answer the question, we first survey Hall’s major influences to provide a deeper understanding of his theological concerns. We then identify the cross and context as fundamental methodological underpinnings of his theology of the cross and its ecclesiology. In the same vein, we present the doctrines of God, creation and Christ as theological foundations. Approached from the perspective of a God who suffers, a relational ontology, and a Christ who represents, this thesis highlights a Church that represents, relationally engages itself within its context, and suffers. This Church is called to represent the world to Christ and Christ to the world. It is called to engage in its context rather than attempt to escape its reality. Lastly, it is called to suffer because of its identity and its engagement in its context. This thesis proposes a perspective on the elements of a doctrine of the Church found in the work of Hall.

Full text
Abstract:
My main purpose with this paper of John Steinbecks Of mice and men is to both analyze the long-lived structures and the unique individual destinies of the novel. I employ the method of the historical Annales-movement and use three divided levels in my analysis to try to capture these high structures and low moments of humanity in Structure, Konjuncture and the Individuality. The first level, Structure, is used to see how long-lived almost invisible geographic structures set the human act of condition. The second level, Konjuncture, is easier to grasp in understanding of time and embraces for example economic structures as the industrialism. The last level of Individuality is the fastest in time and easiest to understand but in the long run also the least important. Humans are controlled by structures and norms. I try to inspect what these three levels look like in Of Mice and Men and how they affect each other and the main characters of the novel. I make use of Foucault and Butler in the Konjuncture-level to explore how power, production and discourse create structures that affects the working man and the “non-working” woman in Of Mice and Men. I adopt Butler to see how Steinbeck creates gender through clothes and working tools. In the Indivual-level we can see the effects of the other levels in the characters actions. For example how their sexual preferences are effects of the power-structure of the production (Rubin and Foucault), how a society see images of filth or purity when someone differ from the norm (Douglas and Foucault) and how we sacrifice one member of the social group to contain stability when chaos threatens (Girard).

Full text
Abstract:
Using historical narrative and extensive archival research, this thesis portrays the story of the twentieth century Queensland Rural Schools. The initiative started at Nambour Primary School in 1917, and extended over the next four decades to encompass thirty primary schools that functioned as centralized institutions training children in agricultural science, domestic science, and manual trade training. The Rural Schools formed the foundation of a systemised approach to agricultural education intended to facilitate the State’s closer settlement ideology. The purpose of the Rural Schools was to mitigate urbanisation, circumvent foreign incursion and increase Queensland’s productivity by turning boys into farmers, or the tradesmen required to support them, and girls into the homemakers that these farmers needed as wives and mothers for the next generation. Effectively Queensland took rural boys and girls and created a new yeomanry to aid the State’s development.

Hernandez, Jesse. "Senses In Synthesis: Imaginative Sensing In The 19th Century." VCU Scholars Compass, 2014. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/621.

Full text
Abstract:
During the late 19th century, arts and literature had a surge of sensory awareness, made manifest through sensory analogy, intersensory metaphor, and synaesthesia. This dissertation explores this phenomenon through a study of five poets and artists: Charles Baudelaire, Arthur Rimbaud, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Barlas, and Julia Margaret Cameron. Using imaginative sensing, these artists transformed the relationship between artist and observer, assigning greater responsibility to their audience while simultaneously asserting artistic control of their work. Their fascination with sensory mixing and multisensory awareness demonstrates unique ideas about perception and embodiment, ideas that have sparked both controversy and imitation. I begin with a brief history of the condition known as synaesthesia, considering its position as an “abnormal” clinical condition, a desired artistic state of transcendence, and a simple transfer of metaphor. Chapter 1 describes how two French poems brought synaesthesia to public consciousness and prompted a literary movement. In Chapter 2, I explore how poet-painter Dante Rossetti used “acts of attention” and unheard music to demand viewers’ embodied participation. Chapter 3 introduces John Barlas, a relatively obscure British poet who crafted exotic, sensory-laden environments that hovered between the actual and imagined, insisting that the reader use his sensory imagination to participate. Moving to the realm of photography in Chapter 4, I consider Julia Margaret Cameron, whose “out-of-focus” pictures changed photography from a mechanistic technology to high art by incorporating the sense of touch. Historically, the senses have been ranked and separated, with priority given to vision, the sense most associated with reason. I argue that considering the senses as bundles of interconnected experiences and through imagination rather than as isolated methods of physical perception can show how the senses function culturally and give us a much greater understanding of how we process the world. While no time period has regarded the senses with the intensity of the late 19th century, the embodied approach of the era can be applied to our current “sensory revolution” and can impact how we regard technology, cultural studies, and interdisciplinarity. Evaluating how 19th century artists blended the senses through imaginative constructs gives a more thorough explanation of the characteristic sensuality of the period and provides a model for how sensing can function more fully in current endeavors.

Abstract:
Introdução: Este resumo analisou a Onipotência de Deus, um dos atributos da doutrina divina amplamente estudado na disciplina de Teologia Sistemática, uma das mais importantes cadeiras acadêmicas do curso de Teologia. A onipotência divina é um relevante tema que tem sido amplamente debatido nas escolas teológicas e filosóficas por séculos. Objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever o que é atributo, para tanto apresentamos os principais conceitos, como o de John D. Douglas, e de estudiosos da Teologia Sistemática como Franklin Ferreira e Alan Myatt. Material e métodos: Este trabalho foi realizado com base em uma minuciosa pesquisa bibliográfica em livros, Bíblias, artigos científicos e em dissertação de mestrado e em tese de Doutorado (estes últimos oriundos das Bases de Dados da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul - UFRGS e da Universidade de Brasília- UNB, respectivamente) referente a Onipotência de Deus. Resultados: Trouxemos o conceito de onipotência divina, encontrados no Dicionário Aurélio, na Pequena Enciclopédia Bíblica e na obra de Teologia Sistemática de Millard Erickson. Analisamos o paradoxo que envolve a Onipotência de Deus, citando suas diversas formas de manifestação na Bíblia Sagrada, no Antigo Testamento e Novo Testamento, a relação de Deus com os homens, os milagres realizados por Jesus sobre a natureza e o paradoxo da Onipotência de Deus, através de uma percepção bíblica e filosófica a respeito das contrariedades levantadas por teólogos, filósofos medievais e contemporâneos. Conclusão: Concluiu-se que o tema é muito abrangente e que a Onipotência de Deus foge a compreensão humana, em que pese buscar novas respostas, não existe paradoxo porque Deus tem sua lógica própria.

Abstract:
The American Helicopter Museum and Education Center opened to the public at the Brandywine Airport on October 18, 1996. This milestone was the realization of a vision adopted at a luncheon meeting hosted by the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Helicopter Society on July 30, 1993. Chapter leaders had previously brainstormed potential ideas for commemorating the upcoming 50th Anniversary of the American Helicopter Society in 1994, but recognized the need to engage a broader constituency to do something significant. With the goal of establishing a 50th Anniversary Committee, a luncheon was scheduled at Boeing Helicopters in Ridley Park, PA. Participants included the author, several Chapter officers and an invitation list that included Philadelphia area rotary-wing business leaders, industry pioneers and influencers. Attendees at that first meeting included Lee Douglas, Frank Duke, Vincent Genovese, Euan Hooper, Warren Jacobs, Wes Moore, Ren Pierpoint, John Schneider, George Townson, Edward B. Wilford III and Peter Wright, Sr. After debating multiple options for the commemoration, the idea of a museum was embraced when Peter Wright, then President of Keystone Helicopters, offered to donate several vintage helicopters if a museum was established. Two weeks later, the nascent 50th Anniversary Committee met again with a mission to: “Lay the foundation for a permanent rotary-wing restoration, conservation and exhibition facility in the Delaware Valley.” Referencing the documented minutes of the aforementioned meeting and that of subsequent meetings of the 50th Anniversary Committee, other documents and the recollections of the author, this paper will trace the formative years of the museum from July 1993 to October 1996. It will address the many challenges of founding an aviation museum including incorporation, location identification, building the collection and creating the exhibits and programs. It will recall the people involved and their significant contributions. This paper is particularly compelling to publish this year, recognizing the 25th anniversary of the American Helicopter Museum and Education Center on 18 October 2021.

Abstract:
Insiste Giorgio Agamben en que cada etapa histórica se distingue por su manera de experimentar la temporalidad (2011, 129). La nuestra, aseguran numerosos pensadores y académicos, estaría definida por la aceleración. Luciano Concheiro declara que este fenómeno explica en buena medida cómo funcionan hoy la economía, la política, las relaciones sociales, nuestros cuerpos y nuestra psique (2016, 11). Vivimos sometidos a un estricto régimen temporal, uno rigurosamente fraccionado en tiempos de trabajo, de ocio, de escolarización, de formación y, en definitiva, marcado por la presión de los plazos y horarios (Safranski 2013, 20).Así, en la actualidad las estructuras temporales vendrían determinadas y gobernadas por la lógica de un proceso de aceleración que viene fraguándose desde la concepción y desarrollo de la modernidad (Rosa 2016, 10), y que se habría instaurado definitivamente con el advenimiento del medio digital e Internet. La interrupción, la fragmentación y la yuxtaposición de actividades configuran hoy nuestro modus operandi en esta nueva cultura del exceso (de velocidad y de datos), perfilada por los medios de acceso a la información y su eterno fluir virtual de imágenes/palabras. Ilustrativa la metáfora de lo líquido propuesta por Bauman para referirse a ese nuevo escenario desmaterializado, inasible, licuado (recordemos que Internet se surfea, se navega), donde todo muta permanentemente bajo la imposición de actualizaciones forzadas. Es el tiempo de downloaders, todo lo queremos disponible en el tiempo del clic (Martín Prada, 2018, 25).De esta manera, la concepción temporal de hoy se asemejaría al scroll infinito, el modo de navegación empleado por Facebook, Instagram, Twitter y otros servicios de redes sociales, dejando la mirada sin margen para el descanso. La visión se ha vuelto instantánea: el ahora es un producto más en la economía de la obsolescencia. “Pero ¡un momento! ¿No se suponía que las máquinas modernas ahorraban tiempo y, de ese modo, dejaban más tiempo libre?” (Wajcman 2017, 15).La visión-navegación, ese nuevo modelo óptico derivado de la digitalización y la sobreexposición a la imagen característica de nuestro mundo-iconosfera, fue presagiada, y de manera sorpresivamente acertada, por Nietzsche: La abundancia de impresiones dispares es más grande que nunca: el cosmopolitismo de las comidas, de las literaturas, de los peródicos, de las formas, de los gustos, incluso de los paisajes. El tempo de esta afluencia es un prestissimo; las impresiones se borran; se guarda uno instintivamente de absorber algo, de impresionarse profundamente, de “digerir” algo (Nietzsche, 2000, 81). Obsolescencia digital y obsolescencia de la mirada, ahora más que nunca cansada, apresurada, excedida por la miríada de informaciones visuales a la que es sometida. En este orden de cosas, muchas son las voces que imaginan un tiempo otro: una temporalidad perpendicular a la aceleración hegemónica que permita ver, pensar y reestructurar esos momentos de observación-expectación de manera despaciosa. A este respecto, Arden Reed publicaba Slow Art: The Experience of Looking, Sacred Images to James Turrell (2017), una suerte de manifiesto en el que una nueva categoría artística es preconizada. Obras de videoarte vinculadas a la misma serán abordadas en esta comunicación, como las de Sam Taylor-Wood, Bill Viola, David Claerbout, Luca Pancrazzi, Douglas Gordon, John Gerrard, Doug Aitken o Christian Marclay. En sus trabajos, estos artistas conjeturan un presente dilatado y permiten algo hoy tan inusual y lujoso como experimentar el propio tiempo.
