Aljohani, Abdulaziz Mousa. "Pilgrim crowd dynamics." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2015. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/6070/.

Full text

Abstract:

Among the steady progression of disasters worldwide lie the numerous instances of fatality where crowds gather. The scale of these is particularly high at the Hajj in Makkah, where there are exceptionally high numbers of pedestrians in a number of confined areas and, depending on the time of year, all in searing heat. In order to reduce the likelihood of repetition in the future, the present thesis involved firstly determining the characteristics of the pedestrians attending the Hajj, and then collecting speed, flow and density data by observing them walking along one of the busiest roads between the Holy Mosque and the other holy sites, Ajyad Street. These were analyzed against various models from the literature including those of Greenshield, Weidmann and Greenberg, and it was found that none of these fitted convincingly, mostly because pilgrims do not walk at the maximum speeds that the crowd density allows. This thesis proposes the use instead of a maximum possible speed model based on a linear relationship between speed and density i.e. \(u\) ≤ 1.75 (1 - \(k\) /5.47) where \(u\) is speed (m/s) and \(k\) is density (people/m\(^2\)). It then goes on demonstrate with a simulation model that an increase of 50% in traffic with the current layout would result in severe overcrowding. This however could be avoided relatively easily by a particular combination of changing the directions of flow and the geometry of the road.

Abstract:

Bryan Lee O'Malley's "Scott Pilgrim" series is, arguably, one of the most important American literary works of the early twenty-first century. Evaluating this work w/r/t multimediality and simultaneous multiliteracy, emotions and affective states, friends and their informal economies, and the role of active fandoms in current artistic production, this thesis seeks to explain why "Scott Pilgrim" has found such deep resonance with a generation of kids growing up at the time of publication.

Abstract:

This thesis takes as its point of departure the question "is there a connection between ordinary Swedish Christianity and the extreme forms of various examples?". As a way of concidering possible connections, a "normal" spiritual context in the Swedish setting is studied: the Christian magazine "Pilgrim. A magazine for spiritual guidance". The book presents an investigation of the magazine and its notion of spirituality over a period of twelve years (1994-2006). Questions that guide the investigation are: Which are the fundamental notions of spirituality in the magazine? How can someone be spiritual due to the magazine? Which are the bodily norms which are assumed when it comes to gender, sexuality, ethnicity and class? Which connections between the normal and the extreme in contemporary Swedish spirituality can an investigation of Pilgrim as an example of "ordinary" spirituality reveal? The work is carried out as a discursive reading of Pilgrim with the help of Michel Foucault and his notion of "discourse". Furthermore some of the insights from the feminist discussion on so called "intersectionality" are used to widen the methodological scope. More specifically, the magazine is approached as a single textual surface. After qualification of the rules of the discourse, they are applied to identify the discursive formation of Pilgrim. By analyzing the strategies which constitute spiritual guidance, the forms of spirituality (subject positions) that the magazine constructs are revealed. The way that social categories - gender, sexuality, ethinicity, class - are characterized in the magazine reinforce heteronormativity, orientalism and a class-structure. Through the magazine social categories function together with other vital categories in a way that the outcome is one and only construction of the ordinary subject: i.e. the western rich man as a spiritual subject. In conclusion this study suggest that ideas about spiritual growth that flourish in an ordinary Christian cultural and intellectual environment (exemplified by the magazine Pilgrim), like ideas of resistance against the postmodern world and society's superficiality, might have a structure that can be found also in more extreme Christian contexts, and, more importantly, as a part of the problematic of these extreme examples. The extreme resides in the ordinary, and the ordinary resides in the extreme. There seems to be an order of notions, of subjects and of bodies: the Order of Spirituality.

Full text

Abstract:

The Pilgrim's Progress is accepted in the canon of children's literature due to its early adoption by child readers and because of its outstanding qualities. This thesis explores some possible reasons for the work's popularity and longevity. A New Historicist approach suggests the relevance of Bunyan's pilgrim hero and his narrative to each of the three centuries since the work's first publication. It focuses particularly on the interaction between society, child and text, considering the societal and psychic dimensions. History and Developmental Theory, including that of Faith Development, are drawn on as particular resources. A propositional model provides visual explanation for the interactionary role of the components and suggests a scientific basis for the relevance factors. A broad sample of copies of The Pilgrim's Progress, published from 1678 until 1994, is surveyed in order to test the hypothesis that the hero is a changing one, affected by society's changing norms and ethos. Bunyan's influence on writers for children over the three centuries is also considered, leading to recognition of The Pilgrim's Progress as a prototype for children's literature.

Abstract:

In my thesis I will focus on the history of the reception of John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress throughout the centuries, trying to outline how the developments in culture and aesthetic have determined the ebb and flow of its literary fortune within British culture. I will firstly summarise Bunyan’s life. Secondly, I will take a closer look at the workings and history of allegory, as the changing reactions to allegory as a literary device undoubtedly had an effect on the responses to Bunyan’s allegorical work. Lastly, I will explore the reception proper of The Pilgrim’s Progress, from the moment of its publication on – each chapter will be devoted to a particular century: how did the political and cultural concerns of the ages influence and shape the reception of Bunyan’s work? How was The Pilgrim’s Progress used, and to what purposes? How did later authors adapt and employ Bunyan’s themes and images in their own works?

Abstract:

Travel literature has been understood to comment on the expectations and impressions of the traveler as they encountered foreign spaces, customs, and people. There has been an unspoken understanding, at best, that travelers who wrote their tales used these foreign spaces to engage in debates that were meaningful to their domestic audience. However, the author has been central to much of the analysis, disconnecting travel literature from other linguistic exercises that more directly offered observations that were directly rooted in domestic culture. Author-centered analysis isolates the traveler from the wider world in which they engaged. It also ignores the other voices that are inherent in the works. As the disparate kingdoms of England and Scotland began their process of unification under King James VI and I, society did not emerge as distinctly novel in a short period of time. Religious beliefs inherited from a unified Christian Europe helped travelers engage with other confessions. They also provided models to help travelers both understand their experiences and relate them to their readers. Powerful Christian ideas, such as martyrdom, pilgrimage, and shared devotion, infused the thoughts of travelers, readers, and those who brought the two together in the marketplace. The travel works relating William Lithgow's adventures at the dawn of the seventeenth century provide an exceptional opportunity to glimpse the development of a traveler's identity. They also provide the opportunity to place the various editions within the context of his domestic culture, as he was re-inculcated before once again debarking on new adventures. As England and Scotland fluctuated between a state of stronger alliance and greater distance, Lithgow became a subtle example of political and religious unity. Understanding that early modern Europeans, in general, travelers more specifically required the ability to easily adopt variant persona are critical to recognizing the protagonist of an adventure tale as a political partisan and tolerant zealot.

Full text

Abstract:

Lingering in the topic of literary engagement, this article follows a reader enthralled by words and the significant non-space where fiction and reality intersect. Using Terry Fallis’ political satire “The Best Laid Plans,” a physical map of the reading is followed as I amble through the Ottawa sites depicted in the novel. In this literary pilgrimage, reading is considered as a corporeal (re)action with a series of educative affects. Contrasting this experience with common in-school reading practices, this narrative encourages the honouring of the individualized relationship between reader and text as well as highlighting the pedagogical value of dallying in a work of fiction. Drawing on concepts of spatiality, I contemplate the notion of the home city as a familiar and yet capricious place, made more significant by a fantastic connection. Reading in significant spaces has a lasting, sprawling outcome whereby text, place and reader are all affected.

Full text

Abstract:

This study examines the communication habits of the pilgrim Church with focus upon Vatican documents on mass media and social communication. Attention is given to the historical context of Vatican Councils I and II. As the Church engaged modernity, it shifted ecclesial organization from closed to become open. This study documents the importance of sociology, especially communication theory and cybernetics for Catholicism today.
It is argued that the pivotal event in the Roman Catholic Church's self-exploration for self-awareness and realization was the Second Vatican Council. At that Council, the Church re-examined itself and its own identity to come to grips with the modern world. The teachings of the Council were concerned mainly with the pastoral dimension of the Church and its self-realization. Reflexivity is an important theme of this study as it speaks about understanding the very identity of the modern Church. It is explained that the process of communication within the Roman Catholic Church is itself linked to this insight of reflexivity.
The first chapter shows that behind the pilgrim Church lies an emerging vision of the threefold offices of priest, prophet, and king. The history behind the Roman Catholic Church's transition from the First to the Second Vatican Council is provided. John Henry Cardinal Newman influenced nineteenth-century Catholic theology with his own study of the threefold office. In chapter four we return to the threefold office and examine the contribution of John Paul II. It includes an analysis of how the politics of the magisterium shapes Catholic social teaching. Chapter two examines the text and context of the Second Vatican Council's pastoral decree "Inter Mirifica". Chapter three provides a documented history of the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Social Communication and its teachings. Chapter five develops major tenets of a critical analysis of the communication of the post-Vatican II Church: attention is given to the discursive aspects of religious authority, argumentation, bureaucratization, and market culture. Chapter six takes a step towards examining the pragmatics of contemporary Vatican teaching.
This study concludes that there are three basic sociological and theological aspects of the pilgrim Church. These include a ritual approach to communication, the generational experience of Catholics and their respective attitudes toward Church teaching, and the important link in the faith's praxis between reflexivity and forming habits of communication.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the life of Canon John Russell Wilford, an Anglican clergyman working in the Diocese of Christchurch, in New Zealand from 1904 to 1933. This thesis concentrates on four of Canon Wilford's projects during this time: church building at Waikari, the 1910 missions in Prebbleton, the redevelopment of College House and the building of St George's Hospital. These projects were inspired by Canon Wilford's faith in God and his interest in the Canterbury Pilgrims. Each project also demonstrated Wilford's abilities as a fundraiser and an organiser. The development of faith was Wilford's main concern in the Waikari and Prebbleton parishes. This thesis examines how he tried to do this with church building in Waikari and the General Mission in Prebbleton. It also examines the fundraising methods used by Wilford for the Waikari churches and how he became interested in the Canterbury Pilgrims there. The thesis looks at Wilford's role in the organisation of missions to develop faith in the Prebbleton parish in 1910. It also considers Wilford's Anglo-Catholicism and how this related to the missions as well as his interest in the Pilgrims. Wilford was Principal of College House for the majority of his time in New Zealand and this thesis covers his attempts to rebuild the College and how he felt inspired by God and the Pilgrims to do so. As his campaign to rebuild the College was not successful this thesis will examine why this was the case. Wilford also felt inspired by God and the Pilgrims to build a private Anglican hospital. This plan resulted in St George's hospital. This thesis looks into fundraising methods used to finance the hospital and Wilford's religious, charitable and technological aims for the hospital.

Full text

Abstract:

Although there are countless manuals devoted to playwriting, very few take up the craft of dramatic adaptation in a practical context. My rendering of Theodore Dreiser’s Sister Carrie is an exploration of fundamental elements that require consideration when adapting for the stage. My approach to the characters’ inarticulateness reveals an inherent theatricality in the novel, which both respects Dreiser’s themes and makes them accessible through the conventions of the stage. I suggest the craft of dramatic adaptation should strike a delicate balance between being a “pilgrim” toward the intentions of the source and an “outlaw” in its innovative theatrical representation of them.

Full text

Abstract:

This work has developed a conceptual geological model for the Pilgrim Hot Springs geothermal system supporting the exploration, assessment and potential development of this resource for direct use and electric power production. The development of this model involved the analysis of a variety of subsurface and geophysical data and the construction of a 3D lithostratigraphic block model. Interpretation of the data and block model aimed to establish the most likely scenario for subsurface geothermal fluid flow. As part of this work, well cuttings were analyzed for permeability and correlated with geophysical logs from well to well to constrain the stratigraphic architecture of the unconsolidated sediments. Hydrothermal alteration of the sediments and bedrock core was also studied through reflectance spectroscopy and methylene blue titration in order to investigate past fluid migration pathways. The structure of the basin was interpreted through geophysical surveys including aeromagnetic resistivity, isostatic gravity, and magnetotelluric resistivity. Based on temperature, well logs, geophysical surveys, and lithologic data, the system is subdivided into a shallow outflow aquifer and a deeper reservoir beneath a clay cap connected by a conduit with 91°C hydrothermal fluid upflow. Stratigraphic correlations indicate several clay layers throughout the section with a dominant clay cap at 200-275 m depth. Extensive pyritization and the clay mineral assemblage suggest an argillic-style alteration facies indicative of past temperatures at or slightly elevated above current conditions of hydrothermal activity at Pilgrim Hot Springs. The conceptual model supports production from this resource in those subsurface zones where there is sufficient permeability and connectivity with the upflow zone.

Pregnolato, Ivan. "A pilgrim of historiography : Byron and the discourses of history in early nineteenth-century Britain." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2016. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/32704/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis aims to understand Byron’s œuvre in relation to the discourses of history in early nineteenth-century Britain. As a contribution to the historicist critical approaches of the past decades, my dissertation discusses the different ideas surrounding the concept of ‘history’ in the first two decades of the 1800s, a period marked by change. As shown, these discourses of history were notorious for their heterogeneity and, by analysing Byron’s poetry and letters, it becomes evident that Byron engaged with these multiple interpretations as well. Roughly, three types of discourses of history are discussed below: the classical knowledge which was perpetuated in the educational system of the time and discussed in travelogues; the whig interpretation of history and the teleological concept of ‘liberty’ through time; and the idea of powerful forces that act ‘behind’ history, such as economics and the inseparability of power embedded in creating historical narratives. This thesis concludes that is impossible to speak of a single Byronic historical narrative and, rather, argues that Byron’s texts espouse pluralistic conceptualisations of history.

Smaller, Nigel. "Becoming a pilgrim : the lived experience of men who become therapists following a former career." Thesis, Middlesex University, 2017. http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/21631/.

Full text

Abstract:

Changing career can be a meaningful experience: it challenges our sense of identity, allows us to discover new skills and presents opportunities for novel experiences, excitement, and growth. It can also be a daunting and costly step into a way of being without the safety net of the familiar to rely on. Less than 25% of UKCP psychotherapists and 16% of BACP counsellors are male. Those who qualify have often changed career and embarked on several years of training which may even result in lower paid work than their former career. What is it that motivates these men and what is their experience like? This project seeks to explore the lived experience of becoming a therapist following a former career for seven men over 30 years of age. It applies van Manen’s hermeneutic phenomenological approach and explicates three themes: “Fermenting Discontent”, “Pilgrimage as Project” and “The Ambivalent Allure of Acceptance”. It sees the transition as meaningful, paradoxical and complex, re-shaping their relational world and sense of identity. It also reveals the difficulties of being a minority whilst expressing otherness against a tide of otherwise homogeneous points of view with implications for the therapy profession and the society it supports.

Al-Resseeni, Ibrahim Mohammad. "The water resources structures on the Syrian and Egyptian pilgrim routes to Makka and Medinah." Thesis, University of Leeds, 1992. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/547/.

Full text

Abstract:

AI-Hajj in Arabic means the pilgrimage to MAKKA. This was an ancient rite which was recognised a long time before the rise of Islam. According to the holy Quran and Islamic tradi tion, AI-Haj j goes back to the time of the prophet Ibrahim. Thus MAKKA was a focus for worship but it was also a commercial centre and a way station/stopping place on the ancient trade caravan road between south western -Arabia and Bilad AI-Sham,' now Syria. In part the inhabitants of MAKKA practised this trade because their environment was not suitable for other alternative economic activities. The importance of MAKKA, as a ritual place increased after the rise of Islam because it became Qibla-Kiblah - the direction to which muslims turn in praying towards AIKa'aba. Yathrib - later to become Medinah - is the second holy city. In fact it was not a ritual place, but like MAKKA it was a stopping place on the ancient trade caravan road. The inhabitants of Medinah practised agriculture because their environment was more suitable than that at MAKKA; water was available and the land was fertile so that in addition to trade, they also practised agriculture. The importance of Medinah as a holy place only developed after AI-Hijra - the immigration of the prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him, to it and his establishing of Islam at that site. Medinah became the capital of the Islamic state both religiously and politically. Islam then spread from Medinah over the Arabian Peninsular to the world beyond. The consequence of the conquest of Iraq, Bilad AI-Sham, Egypt, the north coast of Africa and Persia was that the majority of the population of these countries accepted and adopted Islam as their religious faith. As a result of this the populations of these countries came annually to make AlHajj and in doing so developed several additional pilgrim caravan routes. However, it is the Syrian and Egyptian pilgrim routes - Tareeq AI-Hajj AI-Shami and Wal Masri which are the objects of this work. In both these cases the pilgrim caravan routes were previously ancient trade caravan routes which travelled through Arabia, particularly through the western province of Al Hijaz. The geographical location of Arabia, the cross roads of three continents, Asia, Africa, and Europe, made important the pre-Islamic routes which ran through it. Of course the function of this network at that time was commercial but after the rise of Islam the function of this network of routes became to transport the pilgrims. The geological and topographical features, as well as climatic conditions, in Arabia played a great role in determining the ancient routes in Arabia. The availability of water was a very important consideration on these routes and was influenced by environmental conditions. Since the rainfall is insufficient, the resulting absence or shortage of water on the pilgrim caravan routes made the caliphs pay great concern to providing the pilgrim routes with the most essential facilities, particularly water supplies and storage. Ever since the earliest Islamic times, they provided for the travellers Al birak, water tanks; Ahwadh cisterns; Qanawat - channels; and abyar - wells, in order to make AI-Hajj journey more comfortable. The pilgrim caravans in general, and the Syrian and Egyptian pilgrim caravan routes in particular, passed through several stages of development since their origin in early Islamic times and these evolutionary stages can be seen until the beginning of this century. Because the object of this thesis is to document the remains of the water resource structures, an extensive survey and investigation has been completed on the Syrian and Egyptian pilgrim caravan routes. The field work has been conducted in Saudi Arabia, particularly in the north western region where the Syrian and Egyptian pilgrim routes cross the country. The field work mainly aimed at ascertaining the location of all the way stations and their names and surveying each station in order to record the surviving remains of water resource structures. The field work covered a large area of about 8, OOOkm transect and extended from MACCA in the south through Medinah to the North as far as Halat I Ammar on the north at the border between Saudi Arabia and Jordan. From N.W. to S .Wit stretched from Haql on the Gulf of AI-' Aqaba as far as MAKKA. These routes consist of the major, or principal caravan routes as well as a number of traverse routes which allow travellers a choice of transit as well as connecting routes. There are large way stations as well as small minor way stations. As part of this dissertation, almost all the stopping places have been identified and documented by mapping and photography.

Abstract:

St. Augustine of Hippo's specifically political ideas are customarily interpreted according to the sharp contrasts of his doctrine of the Two Cities. This approach is not in any sense misleading, but it does fail to take foil account of the mind of an unusual, unsystematic thinker. Moreover, Augustine never set his political ideas down in a theoretical work.

Abstract:

The central idea of this paper is to make a critical review of the gaucho archetype analyzed from his corporality and identity. Corporality that recreates during a particular territoriality: the pilgrimage on horseback to the Our Lady Basilica at Lujan, Argentina. The purpose of this reviewing is the search of empirical connections among the diverse social objects, the traditionalist displacement and the religious practice, where corporality becomes substantial as catalyzer of those subjacent differentiations, non-viewed, under an apparent homogeneity.From there, it looks to break up the ingenuous vision of a unique and universal model of being gaucho, pilgrim and Argentine.
La idea central que organiza este trabajo parte de la revisión crítica del arquetipo gaucho analizado desde su corporalidad e identidad. Corporalidad que se recrea durante una particular territorialidad: la peregrinación a caballo hacia la basílica de Nuestra Señora de Luján, en la ciudad de Luján, Argentina. El propósito de esta revisión es la búsqueda de conexiones empíricas entre los sujetos sociales diversos, el movimiento tradicionalista y la práctica religiosa, en que la corporalidad se hace sustantiva como catalizadora de estas diferenciaciones que subyacen, inadvertidas, por debajo de una aparente homogeneidad. Y a partir de allí, romper con la visión ingenua de un único modelo posible e universal del ser gaucho, peregrino y argentino.

Abstract:

The purpose of this essay is to look upon the gender structure in Sweden, during the late Middle Ages. Mainly I focus on how the church viewed men and women, since the material of my research, the miracle stories of three saints, was found credible and was written down by churchmen. The saints, whose miracles I have studied, are Birgitta Birgersdotter and Katarina Ulfsdotter of Vadstena and Niklas Hermansson of Linköping. These miracles have earlier been studied by the historian Anders Fröjmark, who has noticed that there are fewer heeled women than men figuring in the miracles. Because of this, Fröjmark draws the conclusion that women were less able to leave their homes and travel as pilgrims to the holy sites of the saints. I, on the other hand, argue that the pilgrim journey was a religious act that both sexes could take equal part in. There are for example plenty of cases in the miracle stories were women have traveled for long distances alone, or with their cured children. The reasons why females are underrepresented could instead be that men seemed more reliable in the eyes of the churchmen. Another reason to the lower representation of women is that men, during the late middle ages, seem to have been far more likely to be the target of accidents and violent assaults.This research also shows that women, being regarded as less reliable, seldom were accepted as witnesses to the miracles. Nuns were however an exception and there is reason to believe that also widows were seen as more reliable than other women. Females who were present during a “birth miracle” were also allowed to witness.

Abstract:

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

Full text

Abstract:

Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five focuses on Billy Pilgrim’s travels through time and his experiences during World War II. More than that, it is a story about the journey of a clearly troubled protagonist whose mental state, best described as broken, is never fully explored in the novel. The aim of this essay is to bring light to the intricacies of Billy’s curious mental state, and to explore the theory that the alien encounters as well as the time travelling that he experiences are the result of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder that Billy suffers from. This is done by analyzing Billy’s experiences with time travel, emotional numbing, and Tralfamadorians and connecting it to known symptoms and causes of PTSD. The results show that Billy does indeed showcase strong signs of PTSD, which were most likely caused by a combination of childhood experiences and trauma during the war. This PTSD manifests itself through Billy’s time travelling and alien encounters, which are used as a coping mechanism.
Kurt Vonneguts Slakthus 5 fokuserar på Billy Pilgrims resor genom tiden och hans upplevelser under andra världskriget. Ännu mer än det så är det en berättelse om resan av en helt klart besvärad huvudperson vars mentala tillstånd, som bäst kan beskrivas som brutet, aldrig riktigt förklaras i romanen. Syftet med denna uppsats är att skapa en klarhet till förvecklingarna av Billys besynnerliga mentala tillstånd, och att undersöka teorin att utomjordingarna såväl som resorna genom tiden som han upplever är resultat av posttraumatisk stressyndrom som Billy lider av. Detta utförs genom att analysera Billys upplevelser av tidsresor, emotionellt bedövande och Tralfamadorer och ansluta dem till symtomer och orsaker till PTSD. Resultaten visar att Billy visar tydliga tecken på PTSD, som troligen orsakades av en kombination av barndomsupplevelser och trauma under sin tid som soldat. Denna PTSD manifisterar sig genom Billys tidsresor och möten med utomjordingar, som används som en coping mekanism.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Professor Peter Steele S.J. cuts a fascinating figure both in contemporary scholarship and poetic achievement. His work extends over a vast range of genre from poetry to criticism, public address and intellectual journalism. Some of his huge literary output is published, some of it awaits publication, and much of it is either uncollected or held in archival situations. Steele is a writer who matters today not only by virtue of his leading a distinguished academic career, and being a widely published poet, but also because for some two decades he has been a focal figure in the Society of Jesus in Australia and New Zealand and has had extensive experience as he would say 'plying his priesthood' in various British and American Jesuit institutions. This has resulted in a large volume of mostly unpublished writings ranging from prayers, liturgies and reflections to homilies for private and public occasions. The challenge of addressing Steele�'s literary achievement lies in the fact that his spiritual insights form the basis of his poetic, academic, and ethical imagination. This thesis has attempted to identify the core nature of these insights and to trace the way in which they ramify into the world of people, events, and art, especially literature. The basic issue concerns the principle of radiance, how it finds expression through Steele�s major motifs or figures of Jester, Pilgrim Expatriate, Celebrant and Word or Witness, and how this principal operates as the unifying basis of his thought. The thesis tries to investigate this unifying vision within the subtle diversity of the many ways Steele encounters the modern world. In identifying Steele�s structure of thought as a radiant entity focused on the theocentre of God and emanating to the Incarnate God, to the writers of the gospels and epistles, to St. Ignatius, to St. Edmund Campion and to all people especially artists, it has been necessary to shape each chapter in a roughly parallel manner and to organise it according to these stratafications. Each chapter places the individual motif within Steele�'s individual and Ignatian milieux, and examines the function of the particular figure or motif under investigation. Each chapter will then trace the figure (Fool, Pilgrim / Expatriate, Celebrant or Word Witness), as Steele sees it manifest in God, in Christ, in the scriptures, and as he understands it imparted to Campion, to Ignatius as he writes the Spiritual Exercises and to writers (and readers) of literature. Each chapter also has variations appropriate to its subject matter and medium so that for instance the chapter treating Steele�s Pilgrim figure will consider his treatment of it in both p oetics and homiletics and that treating the Word or Witness will predominantly relate to that figure to his critical appraisal of Peter Porter�s p oetry and the organisation of the latter will break from the established pattern of organisation in several major ways. This thesis offers a study of a rich Australian talent operating intellectually, academically, imaginatively and spiritually. If one were to seek to place Steele amongst similarly minded writers one would have to locate him in the community of writers recognised for their classical and contemporary sophistication, writers such as Peter Porter, Seamus Heaney, Joseph Brodsky, Derek Walcott and Anthony Hecht. In this sense Steele is international rather than Australian in his emphasis; but being a true international he also includes Australia in his thinking.

Abstract:

As a large-scale international cultural phenomenon, the Jerusalem pilgrimage must be approached comparatively. This project compares the pilgrimage accounts of two Germans and two Englishmen who travelled to Jerusalem in the second half of the long fifteenth century. The texts are those of William Wey, (written c.1470), Bernhard von Breydenbach (printed 1486), Arnold von Harff (written 1499) and the 'Pylgrymage of Sir Richard Guylforde', composed by his anonymous chaplain (printed 1511). Each chapter focuses on a pilgrim, and one of four thematic topics: genre, the religious other, curiosity and print. This project treats these works as literary texts which can be approached from the perspective of cultural history, rather than as historical sources. The project, therefore, is more a consideration of how the pilgrimage is represented than it is about the events of each pilgrimage, and so it looks at the pilgrimages created in writing. Pilgrimage writings tend to focus on Jerusalem's spiritual significance, rather than its worldly position. In this sense, textual representations of travel to Jerusalem represent something of a disconnect with travel to other physical destinations, and the conceptual space of pilgrimage will be of key significance to this thesis. This has implications for practice as well as writing, and therefore the thesis will address how the writers consider their journeys, as well as the idea of virtual pilgrimage. The thesis engages with questions of identity, and how it is presented, as well as the authors' relationship with their audiences. This necessitates analysing collective identity, as well as the different audiences for printed and manuscript texts. The most important research question, bringing together these issues, considers whether the authors' different geographical origins affect their self-presentation and understanding of pilgrimage. This leads to my central contention: that pilgrimage must be portrayed as a single, unified experience.

Abstract:

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka filmen Scott Pilgrim vs the World (2010) sätt att använda sig av klipp och övergångstekniker och hur de förhåller sig till humor och komedi.Tre sekvenser som representerar en bredd av olika klipptekniker och teorier har analyserats för att undersöka hur olika övergångar som till exempel en svepning kan användas, hur kontinuerlig klippstil fortsätter filmen visuellt framåt, hur en rörelse kan bidra till klippningen och vad detta har för relation till humor. Med hjälp av Walter Murchs teorier om vad som motiverar att göra ett klipp, Bordwells och Thompsons teorier om hur olika klippningar och övergångar används och vilken påverkan dessa har på filmen samt Rosengrens teorier om klippning i komedifilm och Meyers (2000) teorier inom humor, undersöker uppsatsen klipptekniker samt övergångar och hur dessa kan förflytta filmen i tid och rum eller föra vidare en rörelse över ett klipp. Resultatet visar på att Edgar Wright, Jonathan Amos och Paul Machliss använder sig av flera sätt för att visa ett filmspråk i Scott Pilgrim vs the World (2010) där fokuset ligger på hur rörelse, energi, förflyttning på ett överraskande och annorlunda sätt kan skapa humor.
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the movie Scott Pilgrim vs the World (2010) way to use transitions and cuts and how they relate to humor and comedy. Three sequences that represent a breadth of different techniques and theories from cuts gets analyzed and explored. This to understand how transitions, for example a wipe, gets used, how the movie progresses with continuity editing and how the movement contributes to the editing and to the comedy. With the help of Walter Murch's theories about what motivate a cut, Bordwell and Thompson’s theories about how cuts and transitions is used and what impact this has on the movie and Rosengrens theories about editing comedy and Meyers (2000) theories about humor, the essay investigate editing techniques and transitions and how they are able to move the movie in space and time or transfer a motion in a transition. The result shows that Edgar Wright, Jonathan Amos and Paul Machliss uses a lot of different techniques to develop a visual style and in Scott Pilgrim vs the World (2010) the focus lies on how motion, energy, movement and comedic timing drives the movie forward and perceived it as a comedy.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis addresses Constantine's developments of the Roman province of Palaestina. It analyzes two important Christian bishops, Eusebius of Caesarea and Cyril of Jerusalem, and one nameless Christian traveler, the Bordeaux pilgrim, to illuminate how fourth-century Christians understood these developments. This study examines the surviving writings of these Christian authors: the Bordeaux Itinerary, Cyril's Catechetical Lectures, and Eusebius's Ecclesiastical History, Onomasticon, Preparation of the Gospel, Proof of the Gospel, and the Life of Constantine, and the archaeological remains of several Constantinian basilicas to interpret their views of the imperial attentions that were being poured into the land. Together these accounts provide views of fourth-century Palaestina and Jerusalem that when combined more fully illuminate how Christians understood Constantine's Holy Land policy. This study focuses on Constantine's developments of the city of Jerusalem, primarily the so-called Triad of Churches (The church of the Nativity, the Eleona, and the Holy Sepulchre) built in and around the city. It likewise considers the countryside of Palaestina outside of Jerusalem. While some Christians were resistant to the developments of Jerusalem, our sources reveal how many Christians supported, or at least desired to experience, the newly developing Christian Holy Land. This thesis argues that most of the discrepancies over the city of Jerusalem between our sources, especially Eusebius and Cyril, developed from long-standing political tensions between the cities of Caesarea and Jerusalem. The Bordeaux pilgrim, on the other hand, traveled across the Roman Empire to see and experience the developing sites throughout the land with no interest in local political debates. With this added perspective we can see how Christians, separated from the positions of church fathers, experienced the developing Holy Land.

Full text

Abstract:

The object of this thesis is to analyze the presence of the pedagogical ekphrastic elements in the novel The Story of The Predestined Pilgrim and his Brother Reprobate by Father Alexandre de Gusmmão. In the past this novel has been an obscure masterpiece outside the circle of those who study early Portuguese language works. In the last half century there has been a crescendo of the study of this novel as more scholars have taken an interest in the pilgrimage motif and in particular using this novel in comparative literature. A monumental contribution to bring this novel out of obscurity is the recent publication of its English translation by Christopher C. Lund. His efforts make this work more accessible to students and scholars who will become enlightened by its contents. His English translation has been used exclusively and is the enabling factor for this study of pedagogical ekphrastic elements contained in the novel. Pilgrimage is a frequent motif in seventeenth-century literature. His pilgrimage is the narrative of two polar opposite brothers whose journeys take them to six cities. As they traverse these cities, the brothers make choices that lead them to their final destinations of Jerusalem, the symbol of heaven, and Babylon, which depicts hell. Gusmmão emphasizes early on that their choices will cause them to be separated forever. Ekphrases are used to enrich and capture the reader's attention to the teachings of Gusmmão through the choices placed before each brother. Gusmmão employs whit, charm, characterization, ekphrases, vignettes, and allegory, with the poignant pedagogical objective to cause the reader to decide if he or she is a predestined or a reprobate and would be satisfied with the inevitable outcomes. I review the socio-historic presence of the Jesuits in Brazil as well as their remarkable pedagogical influence. Ekphrasis is studied as to its origins and its longevity throughout the centuries and how scholars have defined ekphrasis. The essence of this thesis is the extraction and examination of two hundred and forty-one ekphrastic passages from the novel and the analysis of their pedagogical value along with their pictorial elements. It is important to note that the findings of this study loudly affirm Gusmão's use of pedagogical ekphrastic elements as they were detected abundantly in all but ten of the sixty-three chapters included in his novel. The literary richness created by Gusmão's use of ekphrasis so predominantly throughout his novel is indicative of his stature as a pedagogical literary master.
