Full textAbstract:
Drawing on extensive primary research into John Ford’s early films, from the silent era up until the late 1920s, the thesis charts the evolution of what has become known as the ‘Fordian sensibility’ through a close textual analysis of the director’s extant silent films, taking into account the implications of the auteur theory as applied to Ford’s work. A major part of the research process has been devoted to the appropriation of the director’s surviving early titles, in order that all existing film materials relevant to the thesis can be included. Prior to examining Ford’s silent film output, the thesis covers the evolution of the auteur theory, and the nature of the ‘Fordian sensibility’. This chapter also discusses key thematic and visual motifs that have been identified by various film scholars over the years, along with a number of other patterns discerned by the author of this thesis, through a close examination of all of Ford’s sound films, from The Black Watch (1929) through to 7 Women (1966). The main text of the thesis considers whether the identified key thematic and visual motifs can be detected in the director’s early work, and how these themes and motifs evolved chronologically into fully formed components of the ‘Fordian sensibility’. The four main chapters of the thesis cover the following periods: Pre-directing career 1914 – 1917; Apprenticeship at Universal 1917 – 1921; Early 1920s work at Fox 1921 – 1926; Late silent period at Fox 1927 – 1930. This examination of the director’s work analyses how John Ford, the man and the director, became ’John Ford’, the brand, and the label. Using the director’s early silent work as a case study, it questions how the idea of ‘authorship’ is formed and studies how Ford’s style and aesthetic evolved during the silent period due to the influence of other artists; biographical factors; technological innovations; and institutional, cultural and social issues.

Este trabajo quiere celebrar el cincuenta aniversario del estreno del filme Sergeant Rutledge (El Sargento negro), mostrando cómo se desarrollan las relaciones interpersonales en esta película. Estudia la ontología y la gnoseología del filme, para comprender por qué John Ford es un auténtico poeta clásico desde la perspectiva de Platón y Aristóteles. Además la película es un verdadero mito filosófico, constructor y transmisor de aquello que Aristóteles llama en la Poética (1451b) "lo universal". Por último, esta obra de Ford es crucial como vehículo de una tesis antirracista e integradora de los afroamericanos, en el contexto de sus luchas por los derechos civiles en Estados Unidos en la década de los cincuenta y sesenta del siglo XX.The author of this article wishes to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the première of Sergeant Rutledge, showing how interpersonal relation ships are developed in this film. He studies the ontology and gnoseology of the film, to understand how John Ford is a real classical poet from the perspective of Plato and Aristotle. The film is also a true philosophical myth which builds and transmits the so-called Poetics of Aristotle (1451b), "the Universal". This work of Ford is essential as a vehicle of an anti-racist and integrating view of Afro-Americans in USA, in the context of the civil right's figths of 50' and 60' decades of XX century.

O presente estudo aborda a imagem do índio no cinema de John Ford. Para além de uma mera descrição dos filmes, empreendemos uma modalidade de análise que também se detém aos aspectos de produção do filme, sua circulação e consumo, além do seu poder de provocar pensamentos sobre os indígenas e a história americana. Dessa forma, cientes de que a imagem é atravessada por inúmeras temporalidades, que se digladiam em seu interior, destacamos o que Georges Didi-Huberman vai chamar de imagens sintomáticas, que nos permitiram pensar a sobrevivência de formas da tradição western, inventada no século XIX. O uso que fazemos de diversas figuras, entretanto, procura fugir de sua típica instrumentalização como “ilustração” do discurso escrito. As imagens em nosso estudo, por outro lado, aparecem enquanto propositoras de pensamento ao texto. Inicialmente, empreendemos uma análise de como o western é inventado enquanto tradição no século XIX nos Estados Unidos. Em seguida, discutiremos como esse arquivo de imagens sobrevive no cinema de John Ford, desde o filme O Cavalo de Ferro, em 1924, até Crepúsculo de uma Raça, em 1964. Quanto à temporalidade foi preciso apropriar-se do modelo anacrônico de análise das imagens defendido por Georges Didi-Huberman. Do mesmo modo, com Etienne Samain, buscamos discutir como essas imagens pensam e nos convocam a pensar os índios, esse Outro de que falamos.
This study addresses the image of the Indian in the John Ford cinema. Beyond a mere description of the films, we undertook a mode of analysis that also owns the film production aspects, circulation and consumption, in addition to their ability to provoke thoughts on Indigenous and American history. Thus, aware that the image is crossed by numerous temporalities that battle it out inside, we highlight what Georges Didi-Huberman will call symptomatic images which allow us to think the survival of the western tradition forms, invented in the nineteenth century . Our use of several figures, however, seeks to escape his typical instrumentation as "illustration" of the written speech. The images in our study, on the other hand, appear as propositoras of thought to the text. Initially, we undertook an analysis of how the western tradition is invented while in the nineteenth century in the United States. Then discuss how this image file survives in the John Ford film, from the movie The Iron Horse in 1924 to Cheyenne Autumn in 1964. As for the temporality had to take ownership of the anachronistic model of analysis of images defended by Georges Didi -Huberman. Similarly, with Etienne Samain, we discuss how these images think and summon us to think the Indians, this Other that we speak.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail de thèse voudrait interroger les liens qui peuvent unir certains films avec un type d’espace spécifique, le lieu. L’hypothèse de départ consiste, en suivant les travaux d’historiens, de géographes et d’historiens de l’art, à établir un rapport entre le mouvement de patrimonialisation qui se développe au XIXe siècle, principalement autour de la représentation des lieux et des monuments, et l’émergence du cinématographe. Ce rapport est d’ordre fonctionnel et discursif : nombre d’intellectuels voient dans le cinématographe naissant le média adéquat pour produire des images patrimoniales de lieux. Dès lors, ce travail voudrait réinterroger certaines œuvres, dont les films réalisés par John Ford au sein de Monument Valley, ceux que Jean-Marie Straub et Danièle Huillet ont tourné entre 1975 et 1980, ou encore l’œuvre en cours de Tariq Teguia, dans le but d’essayer de saisir la façon dont cette « série culturelle » patrimoniale a pu être réinvestie dans des corpus très divers. La méthode iconologique, appliquée ici à des représentations spatiales, permettra de mettre à jour des liens figuratifs et conceptuels dans les œuvres, que les contextes socio-historiques semblent séparer de façon imperméableMy thesis questions the links that may bind different kinds of movies together following a certain type of space : the place. As such, I will base my research on the works of historians, geographers and art historians in order to establish a link between representations of places and monuments, and the apparition of cinematograph. This link is functional and discursive: many intellectuals see in the nascent cinematograph the apt media for the production of patrimonial pictures. Henceforth, this work would like to question new works, among which the movies of John Ford directed in Monument Valley, those directed by Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet from 1975 to 1980, along with the movies of Tariq Teguia, are to be found. My objective is to understand the way this patrimonial « cultural series » could be reinvested in very different corpuses. The iconological method, applied to spatial representations, will allow me to show figurative and conceptual links in movies that belong to different historical contexts

Full textAbstract:
Le but principal de cette thèse est d’analyser les westerns et films partisans de notre corpus comme des récits mythiques qui véhiculent un mythe national, respectivement américain et yougoslave, et affirment ainsi la société et la nation en question. Le travail est divisé en quatre parties. La première partie étudie l’idéologie nationale et la notion de mythe national ; la deuxième est consacrée à l’analyse des oeuvres d’art en tant que récits mythiques créés autour d’une idéologie nationale, qui sert de « mythomoteur », selon l’expression d’Anthony D. Smith. La troisième partie examine l’axe diachronique du récit mythique et l’évolution de ces oeuvres dans le temps, et la quatrième partie creuse la relation entre l’idéologie véhiculée par les oeuvres et la réussite de la création du mythe national américain et yougoslaveThe principal goal of this thesis is to analyze the works of the corpus as mythical narratives that carry the notion of the national myth and that participate in the creation of the national myth of the society and the nation in question. The work is divided into four sections. The first section inspects the national ideology and the notion of the national myth. The second is dedicated to analyzing the works of our corpus as the mythical narratives. The principal idea is to analyze the works at hand as if they were created around the nationalist ideology (that serves as a mythomoteur, according to the definition proposed by Anthony D. Smith). The third section inspects the diachronical axis of the mythical narrative and the placement of the works on a temporal line (on that diachronical axis), while the fourth section inspects the relation between the ideology carried by the works of the corpus and the success of the creation of the American and Yugoslav national myth

Presenta un análisis comparativo entre los elementos de la teoría epistemológica postulada y defendida públicamente por John Locke, particularmente recogida en el Ensayo sobre el entendimiento humano, y la teoría política planteada por él en los Dos tratados sobre el gobierno civil. Tal análisis permite evaluar la coherencia entre uno y otro, pudiendo definir si, finalmente, ambos trabajos podrían presentarse bajo una perspectiva lógica y sistémica. Tal análisis tiene relevancia directa para el estudio y apreciación de los textos políticos de Locke, en tanto el modelo liberal propuesto en tales textos es el predominante en el mundo occidental. Es decir, las aplicaciones prácticas de su obra se han manifestado a lo largo de cientos de años y corresponde conocer cuáles fueron las verdaderas valoraciones que el autor podría tener sobre tales obras. Tres preguntas claves son aquellas que guían el desarrollo de la presente investigación. La primera: ¿Cuál es la teoría epistemológica de Locke y cuál es su alcance y coherencia dentro de lo que propone? La segunda: ¿Cuáles son los fundamentos de la teoría política de Locke? Y la tercera y fundamental: ¿Cuáles son las relaciones que se desprenden de leer ambas esferas? Para lograr tal cometido la presente investigación se divide en 4 secciones. La primera está referida a la investigación acerca del entendimiento y el conocimiento en la obra epistemológica de Locke. En tanto es posible notar que existe un claro vacío sobre la discusión del propio concepto de entendimiento en Locke, se parte por tratar de llenar tal vacío en función de proponer una lectura coherente del total de su obra epistemológica. Luego se procedió a desarrollar el concepto y contenido de su teoría del conocimiento en sí misma, pasando por su teoría de las ideas y de las cualidades. En la segunda sección se abordan los límites de la teoría del conocimiento en Locke, tratando de comprender cuál es el lugar de la fe y cuál es su relación con respecto a la razón. Asimismo, se realiza la lectura de su teoría ética y los fundamentos que la misma utiliza, así como la evolución que la misma sufrió desde sus ensayos de juventud hasta su madurez intelectual en el Ensayo sobre el entendimiento humano. En la tercera se procede a desarrollar un esbozo de los presupuestos de su teoría política. La misma que no será presentada en función a la ya clásica distinción entre el estado de naturaleza y el estado de sociedad civil, sino en función a sus axiomas básicos y la construcción teorética que se deriva de los mismos, es decir, la teoría de los derechos naturales. De tal forma se trabajarán dentro de esta sección, la concepción del derecho a la vida, a los bienes materiales y a la libertad. Teniendo en cuenta una lectura que evalué la relevancia de las premisas teológicas dentro de su obra política. En la última sección se presentan las correspondientes evaluaciones de la lectura política planteada en los Dos tratados sobre el gobierno civil en base a las premisas y requisitos epistemológicos que reclamase Locke para todo conocimiento humano. De esa manera, se puede reconocer el nivel de relación que guardaba una esfera de trabajo con la otra, además de poder identificar las razones que pudieron llevar al autor bajo análisis a publicar uno de los documentos fundacionales de la teoría política liberal.

Cassadore, Edison Duane. "Re-Imagining Indians: The Counter-Hegemonic Represenations of Victor Masayesva and Chris Eyre." Diss., The University of Arizona, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/195409.
Full textAbstract:
Contextualized within the discourse of United States nationalism, particularly the idea of Manifest Destiny in the nineteenth century, contemporary Native American representations from Victor Masayesva (Hopi) and Chris Eyre (Cheyenne/Arapaho) are counter-hegemonic since their representations interrogate stereotypes about Indians as "timeless," "props" who create "color background" for the dominant imagination. For example, in Imagining Indians (1992), Masayesva presents a range of interrogating viewpoints concerning the exploitation, commodification, and Hollywood set treatment of Native Americans. Here, the interviewees are not passive objects but active subjects who interrogate the dominant culture's assumptions about Indians. At the end of his film, images of various nineteenth-century tribal leaders constructed from George Catlin are destroyed through computer graphic manipulation. The camera's possessive gaze is also de-naturalized and rendered powerless. Chris Eyre uses a different representational tactic than Masayesva. Eyre's Skins (2002) seeks to build counter-hegemonic community through the love between two brothers. Despite rampant unemployment, poverty, and alcoholism, the brothers' love sustains them and their family and thus helps them to survive in the fractured community of Pine Ridge. Here, the Lakota philosophy concerning the cultural concepts of tisospaye ("your clan or family") and oyate ("your people") are significant since these ideas help the brothers to overcome personal struggles with alcoholism and the effects of the trickster figure of Iktomi. In the ultimate act of countering the magisterial gaze of U.S. nationalism, Skins ends with the cathartic throwing of blood-ret paint on George Washington in America's much-vaunted Mount Rushmore. In short, these contemporary representations from two key Native American filmmakers are counter-hegemonic since they assert agency in showing "get real" images of Indians and thus building community in the face of domination.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis attempts an analysis of some of the major themes and characteristics in Ford's work in the light of the interests and concerns of his dedicatees. The first part, after a discussion of the Ford canon and its chronology, considers four prominent aspects of his writing. The first chapter examines the dislike evinced by many of his characters for food, and the second the distrust of language so frequently registered in his work, and the way in which this leads ultimately to the writing of unsatisfactory plays. The next chapter then goes on to suggest that these two elements of Ford's plays may perhaps be linked by his perception of personality as fragmentarily located in disparate parts of the body, all exerting conflicting claims to represent the totality of the self. The last chapter of the first half of the thesis is concerned with the attempt in The Broken Heart to find an alternative, nonverbal means of communication, and also examines the possibility that the feeling conveyed in Ford's plays of the unsatisfactoriness of physical food may be connected with the sense of spiritual starvation in The Broken Heart. It is further suggested that this in turn might perhaps reflect a preference on Ford's part for the Catholic rather than the Anglican communion. The possibility of Ford having Catholic sympathies is further examined in the first chapter of the second half of the thesis, which explores the careers and family connections of Ford's dedicatees, including their close links with Catholicism. The second chapter attempts to show that Perkin Warbeck can be read as a panegyric on the ancestors of Ford's dedicatees, with the covert implication that the dedicatees, too, were worthy of greater political power and respect than they in fact enjoyed. The final chapter examines how this meaning might, like that of The Broken Heart, have been conveyed on the stage visually rather than verbally, and the conclusion then reviews the way in which Ford's attempt to forge a private language tested his theatre to its limits, and suggests that the unsatisfactory plays of his later years were an inevitable result of his perception of his dedicatees as, both deserving of success and unable to achieve it.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the destructive effects of infidelity in the old-aged husband-the young wife marriages which end up with tragedy. In John Ford&rsquos Love&rsquo
s Sacrifice (1633) and Lope de Vega&rsquo
s Punishment Without Revenge (1631), tragedy turns out to be the inevitable consequence of the plays since the motives of jealousy, honour, revenge and love converge and lead people to commit sinful crimes. Within this scope, the first chapter of the thesis is devoted to the historical information about the state of English and Spanish theatres together with the biographies of the playwrights. In the second chapter, the tripartite relationship between jealousy, revenge, and honour is dealt with based upon examples from the primary sources in a historical framework. The reasons and results of these themes are studied through the characters in the plays. The third chapter covers the theme of love, its history and its influence on characters. In this chapter, the nature of love between the characters and its consequences are examined. The conclusion asserts that the old-aged husband and the young wife create a mismatched union and accompanied with the motives of honour, jealousy and revenge, the institution of marriage breeds tragic consequences. The analysis of the above mentioned themes is based on a historical context and it is also concluded that although Love&rsquo
s Sacrifice (1633) and Punishment Without Revenge (1631) belong to the Renaissance age, both plays bear the influences of the Greco-Roman drama tradition. Thus, the similarities and differences between classical and Renaissance tragedy are demonstrated.

Kohler, Julie Anne. ""No Goin' Back": Modernity and the Film Western." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2014. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/4152.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is inspired by an ending—that of a cowboy hero riding away, back turned, into the setting sun. That image, possibly the most evocative and most repeated in the Western, signifies both continuing adventure and ever westward motion as well as a restless lack of final resolution. This thesis examines the ambiguous endings and the conditions leading up to them in two film Westerns of the 1950s, George Steven's Shane (1953) and John Ford's The Searchers (1956). Fascinatingly, the tension and uncertainty conveyed throughout these films is also characteristic of life in modernity, a connection which has previously gone overlooked. In my analysis, I study the ties between the postwar film Western and the philosophy of modernity to interpret these works in a new light, illuminating their generic context and their understudied philosophic dimensions. This reading highlights these films' continued relevance, showing how they have enabled creators and audiences to reflect on experiences of modernity in the idiom of the celluloid century.

Full textAbstract:
‘Chastity on the Early Modern English Stage’ seeks to explain the relationship between tragicomedy’s brief and short-lived English popularity and the royal cult of chastity which spanned exactly the same historical time-frame. This study attempts to define a cultural movement which influenced the political, religious, social, intellectual, aesthetic, and medical fields in the first half of the seventeenth-century and argues that the narrative tropes which structured, and assisted the spread of, the post-Elizabethan cult of chastity were the same tropes governing the tragicomedies so popular in the period. The arguments made for tragicomedy are speculatively extended to all generic forms, with the intention of expanding an area of scholarship still dominated by formalist analysis. By focussing on narrative tropes and locating them within both fictional and non-fictional texts and in the presentation and discussion of significant events (from medical discoveries to liturgical arrangements and royal birthing rituals) this thesis aims to illustrate that the human and cosmic visions articulated by different dramatic genres were as relevant to early modern lives outside the theatre as they were to those within it. Genre is thus less a description of a text’s formal characteristics and more a set of truths governing certain human experiences both in texts and in life. Focussing on Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale, two plays by John Ford, Caroline court masques and birthing rituals, Milton’s A Maske and a number of non-professional performances (from the Earl of Castlehaven’s trial to William Harvey’s demonstration of the circulation of the blood), ‘Chastity on the Early Modern English Stage’ describes the four tropes of chastity and their place in tragicomic experience from the death of Elizabeth I to the beheading of Charles I. While Charles’s death and the closure of the theatres are crucial reasons for the abrupt end of the cult of chastity and tragicomedy, this thesis argues that cause must also be attributed to the efforts of pro-Parliamentary and Puritan writers who, throughout the 1630s and 1640s, sought to claim the tropes of chastity for their own rhetoric and cause. Their success resulted in a redefinition of chastity as masculine, individuated, Parliamentarian, Protestant, intellectual, civic and prosaic instead of Catholic, royal, spectacular, feminised, Marian, pietised, and theatrical.

This thesis examines the interactions between climate change, food security and public health outcomes in Kiribati. Food security is known to be a strong determinant of health outcomes. This study found Kiribati to be overly reliant on imported food of low nutritious quality, with strong negative public health outcomes such as increasing prevalence of diabetes and hypertension. Identified environmental problems are worsening with climate change; these affect and imperil domestic food production. This study also identifies the strengths of Kiribati communities, providing recommendations on improving food security and climate resilience based on suggestions of islanders and scientific evidence.

La obesidad infantil es un importante problema de salud pública mundial, por su prevalencia y disminución de calidad de vida, transformándose en un factor de riesgo importante de morbimortalidad por enfermedad cardiovascular en la edad adulta. En el Perú, una de las principales causas de mortalidad cardiovascular en adultos y la creciente incidencia en niños y adolescentes se encuentra asociada al Síndrome Metabólico (SM), relacionada a factores de riesgo como obesidad, resistencia insulínica, hipertensión y dislipidemias. Por esta razón nos propusimos determinar la presencia de SM en niños y adolescentes escolares de 8 a 17 años de edad. Se estudió una población de 100 alumnos, 55 del género femenino y 45 del masculino, de dos (2) Instituciones Educativas de la zona Salamanca-Valdiviezo-Olimpo del distrito de Ate-Lima. La metodología del presente estudio estimó realizar pruebas antropométricas (peso, talla, circunferencia de la cintura, IMC), medición de la presión arterial y pruebas bioquímicas para determinar valores séricos de colesterol, HDL, LDL, triglicéridos y glucosa. Para la determinación del Síndrome Metabólico se utilizó la tabla de Must y col. en referencia al Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) con los siguientes criterios diagnósticos: Sobrepeso, de p85 a p95 (percentil), Obeso, > p95 (percentil); además se utilizó las recomendaciones de Cook. y col. que establece: déficit de Colesterol HDL : < = 40 mg/dL, Colesterol LDL elevados : > = 110 mg/dL, Triglicéridos elevados : > = 110 mg/dL; Glucosa elevada (en ayunas) : > = 110 mg/dL y Presión Arterial elevada (Hipertensión) : > = p90 (percentil). La presencia de tres o más factores en la población estudiada indicaría la existencia de Síndrome Metabólico. De acuerdo a los resultados obtenidos, el 6 % de la población estudiada presentó síndrome Metabólico, encontrándose una mayor frecuencia entre los alumnos de 12 a 17 años de edad (83,3 %) y de 8 a 11 años (16,7 %), todos ellos del género masculino quienes presentaron como factor principal la obesidad (34 %), Colesterol HDL (31 %), Triglicéridos (11 %) y Presión Arterial (9 %), en ningún caso se presentó hiperglicemia.Tesis

A reestruturação das políticas sociais, como consequência do desmonte dos direitos sociais apresenta-se como um dos principais problemas associado ao processo de reestruturação das formas de produzir e dos modos de organizar e gerir o trabalho não somente no Brasil, mas em quase todo o mundo. Esse processo vem ocorrendo, de modo mais efetivo, desde a década de 1980, no bojo das transformações desencadeadas pela crise capitalista dos anos 1970 e pela expansão do neoliberalismo, dentre os quais ressalta o trânsito do regime de produção keynesiano/fordista para o regime de produção pós-keynesyano/pós-fordista, ancorado nas idéias empreendedoristas schumpterianas e no bem-estar como produto do mérito individual e não mais como direito social; ou melhor, ressalta a passagem do welfare (bem-estar como direito incondicional) para o workfare (bem-estar em troca de trabalho), a qual constitui o objeto de interesse desta tese. No contexto dessa problemática, tem-se como objetivo geral detectar os efeitos concretos sobre a política social da passagem do welfare para o workfare, efeitos estes associados às mudanças na relação entre Estado e sociedade e entre a economia de mercado, incluindo o mercado de trabalho, e a política de trabalho, caracterizada pela precarização, desorganização trabalhista, crescente (des)assalariamento e reduzida proteção social pública. Sendo este um evento de proporções mundiais, o seu estudo requereu investigação de suas principais características e tendências, a partir dos países capitalistas avançados, bem como das teorias que o fundamentam e justificam, para identificar a sua presença inclusive no Brasil. Todavia, no contexto brasileiro, a presença dessa transição foi apresentada como ilustração, elegendo-se como caso exemplar o que melhor traduz o ideário workfariano tributário de Schumpeter – a experiência do Sistema Brasileiro de Apoio às Micro e Pequenas Empresas (SEBRAE). Na revisão de literatura, procurou-se avançar no debate referente à construção conceitual da noção de welfare e workfare; especificar a diferenças entre ambas e contrapor os seus fundamentos e paradigmas. No campo particular das políticas sociais, salientou-se a sua atual função de ativar os demandantes da proteção social do Estado para o trabalho precário, mal pago e desprotegido, revelando a sua tendência à laboração em vez de assistencialização, como vêm sendo diagnosticado. _________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
The restructuring of social policies, as consequence of the disassemble of social rights is one of the main problems related to the process of restructuring the ways to produce and the ways to organize and manage labor not only in Brazil, but in almost all over the world. This process has been happening, more effectively, since the 1980‘s, in the midst of the transformations initiated by the capitalist crises of the 1970‘s and by the expansion of neoliberalism, among them highlights the move from the Keynesian / Fordist Regime of Production to the post-Keynesian / post-Fordist Regime of Production, anchored in the entrepreneurial Schumpeterian ideas and also in the well-being as a result of individual merit and not more as a social right; or rather, it highlights the passage from the welfare (well-being as an unconditional right) to the workfare (well-being as a result of work), which is the object of interest of this thesis. In the context of this problematic, the main objective of this thesis is to detect the concrete effects on social policy of the passage from the welfare to the workfare, effects that are linked to the changes in the relation between State and society and also between the market economy, including the work market, and the policy of work, characterized by the precariousness, labor disorganization, increasing wage unemployment and reduced public social protection. As it is an event of global proportion, its study required an investigation of its main features and trends, of the advanced capitalist countries as well as the theories that substantiate and justify it, in order to find its presence even in Brazil. Nevertheless, in the Brazilian context, the presence of this transition was presented as an illustration, selecting as exemplary case that translates it better the tributary workfare ideas of Schumpeter – the experience of the Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service (SEBRAE). In the review of literature, we aimed to advance in the debate about the conceptual building of the welfare and workfare notion; to specify the differences between them and compare their fundaments and paradigms. In the particular field of social policies, we highlighted their current function of activating the applicants of State social protection to the precarious, badly-paid and unprotected work, revealing its trend to the laborization instead of assistentialization, as it has been diagnosed.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation develops the model of a prototype system for the digital lodgement of spatial data sets with statutory bodies responsible for the registration and approval of land related actions under the Torrens Title system. Spatial data pertain to the location of geographical entities together with their spatial dimensions and are classified as point, line, area or surface. This dissertation deals with a sub-set of spatial data, land boundary data that result from the activities performed by surveying and mapping organisations for the development of land parcels.
The prototype system has been developed, utilising an event-driven paradigm for the user-interface, to exploit the potential of digital spatial data being generated from the utilisation of electronic techniques. The system provides for the creation of a digital model of the cadastral network and dependent data sets for an area of interest from hard copy records. This initial model is calibrated on registered control and updated by field survey to produce an amended model. The field-calibrated model then is electronically validated to ensure it complies with standards of format and content.
The prototype system was designed specifically to create a database of land boundary data for subsequent retrieval by land professionals for surveying, mapping and related activities. Data extracted from this database are utilised for subsequent field survey operations without the need to create an initial digital model of an area of interest.
Statistical reporting of differences resulting when subsequent initial and calibrated models are compared, replaces the traditional checking operations of spatial data performed by a land registry office.
Digital lodgement of survey data is fundamental to the creation of the database of accurate land boundary data. This creation of the database is fundamental also to the efficient integration of accurate spatial data about land being generated by modem technology such as global positioning systems, and remote sensing and imaging, with land boundary information and other information held in Government databases.
The prototype system developed provides for the delivery of accurate, digital land boundary data for the land registration process to ensure the continued maintenance of the integrity of the cadastre. Such data should meet also the more general and encompassing requirements of, and prove to be of tangible, longer term benefit to the developing, electronic land information industry.

Full textAbstract:
This study brings John Hick's pluralistic hypothesis into engagement with the process pluralism position developed by John B. Cobb Jr. and David Ray Griffin in the ongoing attempt to adequately account for the reality of religious truth-claim diversity. Despite numerous criticisms, Hick's position remains viable in its explanatory intentions, whereas Cobb's and Griffin's position is not, contrary to its self-perception, an improvement upon Hick's hypothesis. Moreover, Cobb's and Griffin's position is not properly pluralistic and is better modified for greater alignment with the lived traditions. The primary issue is one of coherence in relation to the positing of multiple ultimacy to account for truth divergence. However, a Whiteheadian epistemology offers a potentially fruitful way of understanding and arguing, not for the veracity of multiple ultimacy, but for the veracity of religious experience per se.Cette étude compare l'hypothèse pluraliste de John Hick avec la position pluraliste du "process" développée par John B. Cobb Jr. et David Ray Griffin, dans le but de tenir compte de la réalité en regard de la diversité religieuse. En dépit de nombreuses critiques, la position de Hick demeure viable, alors que celle du "process" n'est pas, contrairement à la prétention de ses représentants les plus connus, une amélioration de l'hypothèse de Hick. En outre, la position du "process" n'est pas vraiment pluraliste et devrait être modifiée en vue d'un meilleur alignement avec les traditions vivantes. La question principale en est une de cohérence par rapport à l'ultime multiple susceptible de rendre compte de la divergence quant à la question de la vérité. Toutefois, une épistémologie whiteheadienne pourrait offrir un moyen fructueux de compréhension et d'argumentation, non pas de la véracité de l'ultime multiple, mais de la véracité de l'expérience religieuse comme telle.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is the first sustained study of the poet John Clare and his relationship to health. It considers health as an under-explored physical and mental state evoked across his poetry and prose that has heretofore been overshadowed by a critical preoccupation with his supposed madness. Under the banner of the Medical Humanities, I angle a critical lens on Clare and health beyond biographical readings of his mental deterioration and onto his written responses to the medical, cultural, and social understandings of health by which he was surrounded. Specifically, I argue that Clare articulates both his comprehension and also experience of health through poetic form. I take a thematic approach to the reach of Clare's works composed between 1804-1864, and focus on what I argue to be the most predominant 'forms' that health takes across his poetics: voice, breath, and place. The chapters unfold the poet's engagement with eighteenth- and nineteenth-century medical contexts such as nosology and theories of insanity, speech and elocution, climatic and atmospheric medicine, phrenology, and botany, in order to consider how the local formal techniques of his poems (metre and prosody, rhyme and other sonic devices, caesura, enjambment, and line-endings) shape and re-work the ideas of mental and physical health that these contexts put forward. Throughout the thesis I bring together formal and historical methodologies with modern phenomenological and cultural theories in order to draw out how Clare's exploration of health is both facilitated by the thinking of his own period, and also speaks to current research into health and illness as subjective experiences. Ultimately, I read health across Clare's poetry at the level of form in order to reveal how health inspires a textual mode that defies determinacy and unsettles distinctions between the healthy and the pathological.

The site has a long history of disturbance including dredge mining upstream, channelization, grazing, logging, fire, and floods. Using historic aerial photos, habitat unit surveys, and cross sectional profiles, this thesis shows how the channel morphology, particularly habitat unit diversity, has changed since 1939, just before placer mining began. Results show that the dominant influence on present day channel morphology is channelization from the 1930's. Other changes including dredge mining in the late 1930's to early 1940's, cessation of cattle grazing in 1991, and a fire followed by a flood in the winter of 1996-1997, had less impact because of the straightened, stabilized channel morphology.

Full textAbstract:
Apologetic has been an ongoing activity in the Church since the apostolic times. The eighteenth century witnessed one of the most famous apologists in Christian history: John Wesley. Wesley, a subscribed minister in the Church of England, defended himself against criticism from his fellow churchmen when they charged him with differing from the ‘common interpretation’ of the Thirty-Nine Articles. This thesis examines critiques of John Wesley and Methodism, and how Wesley dealt with them. It concentrates on the debates between John Wesley and three of his major opponents; namely, Josiah Tucker, Thomas Church, and ‘John Smith’.The defensive position in which Wesley found himself in following criticism from fellow clergymen shaped his methodology throughout his ministry when defending Christianity in general and ‘Methodism’ in particular; consequently, placing apologetic at the centre of his writings. When defending ‘Methodism’ against those who attacked it as an enthusiastic aberration, this thesis demonstrates that Wesley customarily appealed to the formularies of the Church of England: The Articles, the Homilies and the Common Book of Prayer. To those who attacked his doctrine of salvation by faith alone, Wesley responded by appealing to the formularies, and demonstrated that his interpretation of the formularies was in accordance with the Church Fathers, and with the compilers of the formularies. By excluding good works as conditions of justification and rejecting the charge of ‘enthusiasm to the highest degree’, Wesley showed that his doctrines, including salvation by faith alone were grounded in Scripture and took reason into account in their elaboration. Despite some hesitations in defining his doctrine of perfection, Wesley showed that he did not teach sinless perfection. When defending his connections with the Moravians, Wesley demonstrated that he rejected some Moravian tenets that did not meet his consent. Wesley contended that ‘Methodism’ contributed to Church renewal and robust Christian faith in individuals. When dealing with the ‘perceptible inspiration’ or the ‘witness of the Spirit’. Wesley based his arguments on Scripture and his interpretation of the formularies. Wesley insisted that the Holy Spirit inwardly convinces the recipient that their sins are forgiven and that they are a child of God. According to Wesley, the Holy Ghost witnesses to the believer directly. When facing those who believed that miracles had ceased with the apostles, and who argued that God gave the apostles an ‘implicit faith’ which allowed them to work miracles with the aim of establishing the church at that precise time, and God had withdrawn the gift after the fulfillment of the mission, Wesley rejected any possibility of an ‘implicit faith’ and insisted that God still worked miracles in the eighteenth century. All the correspondence between Wesley and his first three major opponents in the early life of ‘Methodism’ is critically examined in this thesis. Wesley’s hesitations when building up his doctrines are also highlighted. This thesis instructs us that when facing adversity Wesley in the defence of ‘Methodism’, frequently adapted his methodology to meet new circumstances.

Full textAbstract:
The ideas of Berger are used in this thesis to explore humankind's struggle to achieve greater sustainability. In his descriptions of the peasantry and modern high-energy cultures of progress Berger insightfully crystallises and represents graphically the observation made by many authors writing in different contexts and from within various disciplines that there have been two fundamentally different systems of beliefs and values in history. His conception of ‘ cultures of survival’ and ‘cultures of progress ’ is used in this thesis to develop a conceptual model for sustainability. The basic idea underlying the conceptual model for sustainability is that cultural systems self-regulate or self-correct as they strive to achieve balance in their relationship to higher systems levels of the biosphere, while improving quality of life. Over large time scales self-regulation takes the form of quite radical transformations in cultural system's key defining beliefs and values. The model holds that the process of self-regulation results in societies moving back and forth along a cultural continuum of beliefs and values, represented at one end by Berger's cultures of survival and at the other by his cultures of progress. This system of self-regulation is fraught with risks arising from factors like the inherently conservative nature of cultural systems, which reduce the fit or alignment between systems of beliefs and values and their context and in doing so generate un-sustainability. The model suggests that over large spans of time movement back and forth along the cultural continuum creates the dynamic balance needed to achieve greater sustainability, at least if irreversible degradation of the biosphere's life-supporting systems and extinction can be avoided. This conceptual model for sustainability demonstrates the validity of the central hypothesis of the thesis, which is that Berger's ideas in the ‘Historical Afterword’ to ‘Pig Earth’ are important and have a valuable contribution to make to the discourse on sustainability.Subscription resource available via Digital Dissertations only.

It is impossible to say when man’s mind first conceived the urge to fly, The dream of moving through the air like birds. From Archytas of Taranto’s flying machine to Armstrong’s first step on the moon, flying has progressed from imaginary to an everyday part of life.
This thesis is an attempt to establish a new housing type. It is a dialogue between ever changing technology and the timeless ideas of architectural composition. The house is an intersection of timelessness and temporality.
Le Corbusier stated “The house of a man, irrespective of differences in time or climate, is a pure, organic organization, and the purer it is, the more it is a type. From hut to palace, this type based on a deeply rational and sensitive foundation and become distinctive in flow of time.” The housing complex, located at an airport near the Appalachian Mountains, consists of six dwellings- each of which accommodate an airplane. Steven Holl stated “The site of a building is more than a mere ingredient in its conception. It is its physical and metaphysical foundation. The resolution of the vistas, sun angles, circulation and access, are the ‘physics’ that demand the ‘metaphysics’ of the architecture. Through a link, an extended motive, a building is more than something merely fashioned for the site.”
Architecture is a spatial art; unlike painting or sculpture, it cannot be understood at once. Like music, it is a temporal art that comes into being through movement. Architectural composition should be based on the awareness that architecture is a phenomenon that can only be appreciated with the movement of the observer. Le Corbusier stated “Architecture is judged by the eyes that see, by the head that turns and the legs that walk. Architecture is not a synchronic phenomenon but a successive one, made up of pictures adding themselves one to the other, following each other in time and space, like music.”
In a building, the 3-dimensional volume is governed by the interaction of the horizontal (floors) and vertical (walls) planes. Through the articulation of these planes, a rhythmic movement can be achieved. As Gideon suggested in Space, Time and Architecture, time is not just a 4th dimension experienced in concert with action, there is a 5th dimension that has to do with the movement of psychological phenomenon. Time is not strictly sequential, it possesses depth, that is historical in character. It transcends simple sequences, generating connections and triggering psychological phenomena. Architecture is an assemblage of feelings and perceptions in which these five dimensions interact.Master of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
This thesis studies the visual aesthetics of the twentieth-century American writer John Updike's short fiction. Exploring the related issues of form and vision, temporality and visuality, the thesis seeks to combine two analyses: a study of visuality in the short fiction of Updike, and a re-consideration of the short story as a genre. I shall argue that the two levels of analysis are interrelated, for it is at the point of the epistemological uncertainty in the act of ‘seeing’ that Updike offers something unusual to the short story form; it is also around this stubborn issue of the relationship between vision and knowledge that contemporary short story criticism seems to fall short. The thesis unfolds first with a negotiation for an understanding of the short story’s special narrative space and then with a formalist analysis of Updike’s short fiction and its respective involvement with three visual media: painting, photography and cinema. Exploring the complex interrelationship between ‘seeing’ and ‘reading’ through the lens of Updike’s visually rich texts, the thesis aims to come to a better knowledge of vision and form in the short story.

Full textAbstract:
Since Nigeria’s independence in 1960, the country has continuously been confronted with among other issues, the problem of a weak and unjust social structure resulting in widespread social injustice. It is at the root of most of the crises and social malaise of the Nigerian society and is made more serious by the problems associated with ethnicity and arbitrariness by the state and government. Part of the resultant effects of this weak structure include unjust public institutions and social, ethnic, religious and political crises due mainly to a lack of social cohesion, political integration and an unfair principle of distribution of income, resources, goods and burdens in the society. All attempted palliatives by different administrations have all failed and a very bitter 3-year civil war between 1967 and 1970 in which more than a million lives were lost was the first major manifestation of the problem in post colonial Nigeria. This condition of affairs not only makes political stability and development difficult but also stifles the natural ingenuity of the people to grow. And very serious poverty and underdevelopment of the people in addition to a complete absence of liberty and rights have become institutionalised. In reaction, some Nigerians have resorted to all sorts of immoral, illegal and criminal actions and conduct, including corruption, lawlessness, indiscipline, tribalism, nepotism, and ethnicism, etc. Others have joined the political class and accepted the status quo of injustice as justice and hold this to be the proper and easiest way to achieve their life goals. This has inadvertently led to a warped and distorted sense of justice in the society. This sense of justice sees nothing wrong with vices such as public and institutional injustice, crime, fraud, corruption etc and embraces them wholeheartedly. I propose in this research therefore, the analysis of the fundamental ideas and ideals of John Rawls’ political liberalism as contained in his Political Liberalism as a way of addressing these social-political challenges. In doing this, the merits and intentions of Rawls’ two principles of justice which centre on liberty, equality and differences are examined to deduce their level of coherence, relevance and utility to the Nigerian society. An argument will be made that these two principles represent the closest philosophical and sociological paradigm that have the core ideas and ideals necessary in addressing the twin problems of social injustice and political instability in a third world disordered society such as Nigeria.

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation I argue for using John Dewey's scholarship in ethics, progressive education, and public discourse as a framework for teaching rhetoric for civic engagement. By "civic engagement" I mean working to discover, address, or confront issues of public importance through discourse. In the first part I establish Dewey as a point of reference for progressive revisions of curriculum in rhetoric at the undergraduate level. Using data gathered from a sample of undergraduate institutions, I argue for an increase in courses that reflect classical interests in performance of argument and critical analysis of text as essential skills for civic engagement. In the second part I describe what such revisions may look like as we consider teaching argument as a back and forth process, deliberation as a key component of rhetorical literacy, and critical analysis of literature as an aid to civic imagination. This dissertation contributes to the continuing interest in the way rhetorical education can help students develop transferable skills, attitudes, and interests that will make them effective and ethical agents in their professional and civic lives.
