Full textAbstract:
When studying textuality in the codification1 of Islamic legal maxims (qawā‘id fiqhīyah), it is worth researching how intertextuality and hypertextuality can be used as linguistic mechanisms to help understand Qur’anic texts and how such texts cohere to form legal maxims in Islamic criminal law. An in-depth study of medieval Qur’anic exegetes reveals the length to which Muslim scholars have gone to link texts to extract contextual meanings from the Qur’an and, perhaps, to codify Islamic legal maxims. Two such approaches are intertextuality and hypertextuality. This article examines how the linguistic mechanisms defined herein complement juristic methodology in codifying Islamic legal maxims from Qur’anic exegesis. It explores several relevant exegeses, illustrates that maxims codified through intertextuality and hypertextuality are more far-reaching than those codified through textuality alone, and emphasizes these legal maxims’ application toaspects of criminal law. I conclude that were it not for juristic methodologies, many objectives of Islamic law would have been misconstrued in the process of identifying the texts’ meanings.

This article aims to explore ”scientific exegesis” of ministry of religious affairs of Indonesia. As we know the scientific exegesis is one of the approaches in interpreting the Qur’an which appeared since the middle century. This will try to explore the epistemology of that exegesis and the interest of government in process of writing the exegesis. It will focus in three themes namely ocean, food and a drink, and time. This concludes that first this exegesis is a part of the thematic method. Second, according to validity aspect, this exegesis agrees with the correspondence and pragmatism aspect, but not in coherence aspect. Third, this exegesis is an effort to help the policy of government.

This article aims to analyze the esoteric interpretation of the Qur'an written in Sundanese. The object of the study is theQuranul Adhimiof Haji Hasan Mustapa (1852-1930). Through the analysis of hermeneutics, this study shows that the local exegesis can not be assumed that it has the same character as the Malay-Indonesian exegesis. Indeed, it shows local creativity born out of the diversity of cultural backgrounds. It also shows the process of the dialogue between Sufism and the inner of Sundanese people in the frame of Qur'anic exegesis. This can be proven in three ways: the interpretation centered on the inner meaning, the use of natural metaphors, and the nuances of Sundanese literature. The significance of Mustapa 'sexegesis lies in the process of indigenization of the Qur'an (Islam) to the characteristics of the local Islamic tradition through the work of Quranic exegesis. This work clearly indicates the local creativity in responding to the intellectual tradition of Sufism, especially the Sufi interpretation. Not only through metrical poetry, he also interprets mystical experiences through theexegesis.

Sirry, Mun’im. "Who Are Those in Authority? Early Muslim Exegesis of the Qur’anic Ulū’l-Amr." Religions 12, no. 7 (June 29, 2021): 483. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/rel12070483.
Full textAbstract:
The term ulū’l-amr (those in authority) is central to the Muslim understanding of leadership, although it has been understood differently by different scholars. The term appears twice in the Qur’an, namely in verses 59 and 83 of chapter 4 (sūrat al-Nisā’), which serve as the cornerstone and starting point of the entire religious, social, and political structure of Islam. This article carefully examines early Muslim exegesis of the Qur’anic ulū’l-amr and how the two verses have become the locus classicus of intra-Muslim polemics. The main point of this article is to trace the early development of the meaning of ulū’l-amr in the exegetical works (tafsīr) of both Sunni and Shi‘i Qur’an commentators during the first 600 years of Islamic history. It will be argued that it is chiefly in the tafsīr tradition that the meaning and identity of ulū’l-amr is negotiated, promoted, and contested. The diversity of Muslim interpretations and the different trajectories of Sunni and Shi‘i exegesis, as well as the process of exegetical systematization, are highlighted. While Sunni exegetes seem to engage with one another internally, Shi‘i commentators tend to polemicize Sunni exegesis to uphold their version of ulū’l-amr as infallible imams (leaders).

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the process of exegesis in light of post-modern literary theories, particularly those regarding hermeneutics and reading. The article considers exegetes in their role as both a reader of the Qurʾān and as the author of an exegesis. Both of these actions, reading and writing, have an impact on the way in which the tafsīr is produced. As a reader, an exegete responds to the text of the Qurʾān in a way which confirms and conforms to his own theology and worldview. As a writer, an exegete attempts to convince his (or her) readers of the validity of his (or her) own views and interpretations of the text. However, the aims and objectives that an exegete has for a work also have an impact on the way the tafsīr is actually shaped. (Post)modern views of reading and writing can explain how a single text can generate such a wide range of interpretations in Qurʾānic exegetical works.

Sociological exegesis of the Old Testament with particular reference to Lamentations 3People experience change as a traumatic rearrangement of their life anchors. It is possible for religion to play a positive role in the process of coming to terms with change. The book of Lamentations is representative of an attempt to interpret the loss of anchors to the people of Jerusalem in 586 B.C. We can draw from their experiences only if we come to understand their world. Sociological exegesis provides invaluable insights to this effect. The history of sociological exegesis in the study of the Old Testament is briefly sketched, followed by an overview of the book of Lamentations, with particular reference to Lamentations 3, as an example of this type of exegesis.

Full textAbstract:
In this article I analyse the bidding process to host the olympics as a complex set of power relationships between the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and candidate cities. My analysis looks at both macro-political conditions and relationships and the micro-motives and psychological predilections of IOC members and the principals of candidate cities. Unlike traditional political studies that largely infer the goals and ambitions of individual members from the IOC’s collective interests, my approach considers the psychological basis of these interactions on its own terms. This interpretation loosely follows an interactive model of power and influence developed by Bertram Raven and grounded in political psychology. Importantly, the bidding process for olympic hosting rights provides insights into the omnipresent nature of power and its different forms that operate across macro- and micro-levels of society.

Full textAbstract:
The study reported in this paper investigates the examination of fine art doctorates, and specifically how fine art examiners convey their assessment of the exegesis and exhibition in their written reports, drawing on 42 PhD fine art reports. Fine art examiners provided significant amounts of negative appraisal overall, little formative comment, and frequently wrote about the process of examination. Poor candidate engagement with relevant literature was identified as the key reason why examiners were harsher in their recommendations than colleagues in allied fields. The reports resonated with the ‘newness’ of examination in the field, the assessment language showed marked differences between the exegesis and the exhibition, and the relative emphasis in assessment centred on the exegesis.

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

Full textAbstract:
This studio-based project explores a method of working that assigns agency to paint and process within the medium of painting. Underpinning this exploration is the notion that process driven making could potentially pose as a per formative event. Choreographed yet contingent, the practice investigates the relationship between the potentiality inherent within media and the extent to which this is affected by temporal/ external factors in the determining of outcome. A dialogue between the intentional and the contingent is initiated through a systematic approach that involves manipulation of the constituent elements of paint and the implementation of procedure and protocols as a means to activate conditions of possibility. Central to the research concerns are issues surrounding the ability of media to articulate itself, determine its own temporality and of process and content to operate conterminously. The images produced evidence this investigation as both enquiry and consequence.

Creative Project: The interior design of three women’s clothing shops in Perth, Western Australia, represented as visual timelines of the design process, and Exegesis: Toeing the triple bottom line: Interior design for retail spaces." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2018. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/2154.
Full textAbstract:
There is almost universal concern for the current state of the environment and how it will degrade further if there are not global changes to how people live day to day. Australia lags behind other developed countries in the realm of sustainable development. One of the most widely used frameworks in designing for sustainability is the triple bottom line (TBL) defined by economist John Elkington. This perspective affords equal importance to the environment, economics and society. However, very little design research has a TBL focus and even less has focused on the role of interior designers. In industry, the rating tools, and resources used to assist interior designers in making their practice more sustainable are complicated, require specialised training, and have an emphasis on environmental sustainability with little consideration of social or economic concerns.
This study aims to close the above-mentioned research gap by concentrating on sustainability issues with a TBL focus for interior design. The focus is on small, local retail businesses where financial concerns and social implications are of the utmost importance to business owners, and environmental impacts are particularly negative because of the high frequency of renovations. Additionally, aesthetics plays an important role in the success of the shop interior which is explored in the context of sustainability. This project uses case studies, through creative practice, to explore the application and practicality of TBL in retail design. All three case studies were women’s clothes shops close to central Perth in Western Australia. The focus of the research is on small practitioners, without the resources to improve the sustainability of their businesses through the use of complex rating systems. The fitouts of each shop were updated from a TBL perspective. The design process of each case study was visually recorded, as well as observations, interviews and customer feedback, as a way of gauging the success of the TBL approach.

Previous issue date: 2010A presente dissertação versa sobre o princípio da correlação no processo penal brasileiro, também conhecido como princípio da congruência entre acusação e sentença ou princípio da vinculação temática do juiz. Tal princípio determina que os fatos imputados no momento inicial e final do processo guardem absoluta correspondência, constituindo-se em importante instrumento do poder-dever de punir do Estado. Em outras palavras, constitui-se em garantia ao acusado de que somente poderá ser processado e julgado pelos os acontecimentos acusados, comprovados e acerca dos quais foi exercida a ampla defesa. A mutação do objeto do processo é tema bastante complexo no âmbito do processo penal, mormente pela dificuldade de se apontar com precisão quais são as modificações do fato processual que ensejam violação à regra da correlação. Não há unanimidade na doutrina acerca do assunto, não havendo, por via de conseqüência, solução abstrata e genérica que possa ser utilizada como parâmetro para resolução de casos.E não é por outra razão que a questão deve ser analisada no âmbito da casuística, sempre com os olhos voltados à conformidade constitucional das normas processuais. O Código de Processo Penal foi bastante lacônico ao pretender em apenas dois artigos disciplinar o conteúdo da regra em comento. Os institutos da emendatio (art. 383) e mutatio libelli (art. 384) são analisados com muito zelo, examinando-se, pormenorizadamente, as hipóteses de cabimento que, por sua vez, não refogem às divergências doutrinárias e jurisprudenciais. Nesse contexto, a vinculação do tema ao sistema acusatório resulta por demais evidente, sendo necessário permanente atenção aos corolários da ampla defesa e do contraditório.

Batchelor, Dean Leroy. "The ritual process of marriage : a contextual exegesis of Mark 10:2- 12." Thesis, 2003. http://hdl.handle.net/10413/2865.
Full textAbstract:
The scope of the thesis is a reflection on the present marriage process within the church, focusing particularly on the U.P.C.S.A. This reflection is done through exegesis of Mark 10:2-12, using Professor J. Draper's tri-polar exegetical model. The aim is to broaden the church's understanding of the marriage process, thus making this key transition in peoples' lives more profound. This Thesis endeavours to bring together doctrine and praxis, through both textual and contextual analysis. Using Narrative and Ritual Theory at both the textual and contextual level, this thesis seeks to examine both the text and context in a new and innovative way. The use of anthropological ritual models allows one not only to step back from the text, but also initiates doctrinal discussion at a practical level. Further both the text and context are examined through historical reflection, placing both the book of Mark and present the marriage doctrines in their broad social, political and economic circumstance. Is the church's doctrine with regard to marriage adequately represented in praxis through the present wedding ceremony or have other forces lead to a misappropriation of Mark 10:2-12? The nature of the tri-polar exegetical model is that it is both dependent on the context for input and acknowledges that any exegesis must have an impact upon the lived-experience of the community of believers. Both present doctrine and praxis of marriage, I believe, are challenged in this thesis through a careful analysis of Mark 10:2-12, in the context of Mark through the use of both, ritual analysis and narrative criticism. In 2003, the church not only is faced with a crisis in respect of marriage and its decline, but it is also faced with an opportunity - the present increase in the interest in ritual. This thesis gives some insights into how the church can take up the challenge and use ritual as a tool of liberation. This thesis is thus by nature complex as it seeks to bring together doctrine and praxis, through ritual theory and analysis.Thesis (M.A)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2003.

This study is a practice-led research project in the field of studio ceramics. It focuses on the materials and processes of making vessels and hollow sculptural forms by Kim Bagley, in partial fulfilment of the MAFA degree. The study is an examination of an intuitive approach to ceramic production expressing the chosen theme: clay-earth-skin. This theme is metaphorically linked to the physical origin (the earth) and skin-like quality of plastic clay and some hollow ceramic forms. The theme is also linked to the concept of materiality and the ideas of Claude Lévi-Strauss, concerning nature and culture, and Philip Rawson’s ‘potter’s space’. These theoretical ideas are explored in terms of an intuitive, empirical approach to ceramic materials. The working process and finished works are contextualised in terms of the historical production of Peter Voulkos and the contemporary practice of Gareth Mason and Yo Akiyama whose work can be read as related to the
researcher’s through a common use of the clay-earth-skin theme in some form. This dissertation posits and elucidates the relationship between theory and studio practice. It takes the form of an exegesis, that is, a contextual translation, which seeks to both record and reflect on the making process, and what it reveals, using digital photographs and reflective writings. These tools facilitated the recognition that conceptual, theoretical ideas reoccur in the moments of making, within the studio context, which results in an integrated
relationship between theory and practice.Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2010.

Full textAbstract:
“Tower of Babel and Mount Sinai: Old Testament models of biblical exegesis” is an in-depth study in Genesis 11: 1-9 and Exodus 20: 1-6. An excellent tool for those who want to know and practice the principles of Bible interpretation. The exegesis model follows three fundamental principles: literary analysis, contextual analysis and theological analysis. In literary analysis we work with the delimitation, translation of the text, comparison of versions, the structure and literary genre. In the contextual analysis we emphasize the oral tradition, the literary context of Genesis and an analysis of the socio-historical context. Three approaches were made, regarding the literary formation process, about the environment in which the text was generated and regarding the socio-historical context. In the theological analysis, the study of the correlation of the text, the analysis of the theological content and the practical context for life were carried out. In the first part, we try to answer: To what extent can one accept the text of Genesis 11.1-9 literally? How to harmonize the text with the evident phases in the process of natural language, oral and written tradition? The origin of the languages occurs at the event recorded in Genesis 11? Can the biblical event of the “Tower of Babel” be indicated as the basis for the branching out of multiple languages? Can one defend a linguistic monogenism without considering religion as an included source? Among others. In the second part, the objective is to explain the origin and the importance of monotheism for Christianity based on the exegetical research of Exodus 20.1-6. The main issue is related to the literary, historical and theological relevance to the Christian faith.

Full textAbstract:
In challenging the Aaronide use of text for ritual authority in the first part of the Persian period, the Levites factored text into a wisdom curriculum that moved beyond Aaronide-ritual contexts. Nehemiah 8 provides a sort of model for this process, subjecting the Pentateuch to new terms of revelation through sapiential exegesis. But the creation of the Book of the Twelve served as the ultimate masterstroke, yielding a new model for how Levite sages actualized and facilitated revelation through their literary activity and study of textual sources. The Chronicler’s depiction of the Levites as prophets by virtue of their chanting and teaching of prophetic texts finds its roots in the ideology embedded in and expressed by the Book of the Twelve: YHWH’s presence was affirmed and indeed invoked through the sapiential engagement of prophetic texts.

Full textAbstract:
Ever since it was first published in 1930, William Empson's Seven Types of Ambiguity has been perceived as a milestone in literary criticism—far from being an impediment to communication, ambiguity now seemed an index of poetic richness and expressive power. Little, however, has been written on the broader trajectory of Western thought about ambiguity before Empson; as a result, the nature of his innovation has been poorly understood. This book remedies this omission. Starting with classical grammar and rhetoric, and moving on to moral theology, law, biblical exegesis, German philosophy, and literary criticism, the book explores the many ways in which readers and theorists posited, denied, conceptualised, and argued over the existence of multiple meanings in texts between antiquity and the twentieth century. This process took on a variety of interconnected forms, from the Renaissance delight in the ‘elegance’ of ambiguities in Horace, through the extraordinary Catholic claim that Scripture could contain multiple literal—and not just allegorical—senses, to the theory of dramatic irony developed in the nineteenth century, a theory intertwined with discoveries of the double meanings in Greek tragedy. Such narratives are not merely of antiquarian interest: rather, they provide an insight into the foundations of modern criticism, revealing deep resonances between acts of interpretation in disparate eras and contexts. The book lays bare the long tradition of efforts to liberate language, and even a poet's intention, from the strictures of a single meaning.

Proclus. Proclus: Commentary on Plato’s Timaeus Volume 4: Book 3, Part 2: Proclus on the World Soul. Edited by Dirk Baltzly. Cambridge University Press, 2009. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/9780511691812.
Full textAbstract:
In the present volume Proclus describes the 'creation' of the soul that animates the entire universe. This is not a literal creation, for Proclus argues that Plato means only to convey the eternal dependence of the World Soul upon higher causes. In his exegesis of Plato's text, Proclus addresses a range of issues in Pythagorean harmonic theory, as well as questions about the way in which the World Soul knows both forms and the visible reality that comprises its body. This part of Proclus' Commentary is particularly responsive to the interpretive tradition that precedes it. As a result, this volume is especially significant for the study of the Platonic tradition from the earliest commentators onwards.

Full textAbstract:
This volume of Proclus' commentary on Plato's Timaeus records Proclus' exegesis of Timaeus 27a–31b, in which Plato first discusses preliminary matters that precede his account of the creation of the universe, and then moves to the account of the creation of the universe as a totality. For Proclus this text is a grand opportunity to reflect on the nature of causation as it relates to the physical reality of our cosmos. The commentary deals with many subjects that have been of central interest to philosophers from Plato's time onwards, such as the question whether the cosmos was created in time, and the nature of evil as it relates to physical reality and its ontological imperfection.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In a striking image at the outset of his magisterial Stromateis, Clement describes his teacher Pantaenus as “the true Sicilian bee, culling flowers from the meadow of the prophets and apostles and producing a pure substance of knowledge in the souls of his hearers.” In noting that the imagery of a bee culling honey from the flowers was a prominent image for grammatical work in the Second Sophistic, this chapter makes the case that Clement considers exegesis as a process of rhetorical invention (inventio). Classics scholars have argued that grammatical exegesis and the language of the commentary supplant and displace ancient rhetoric as the preeminent academic discourse in the Middle Ages. This chapter suggests, however, that such a transformation happened even earlier. It examines the metaphors for rhetorical memory in antiquity (e.g., a treasury, bees culling honey, and digestion), focusing on writers such as Plato, Seneca, and Philo of Alexandria. After surveying the role of rhetorical memory in ancient reading practices, it examines Clement’s employment of these metaphors throughout his corpus. It argues that, when taken collectively, these metaphors reveal the significant role of memory in the process of reading and study both in antiquity broadly and specifically in early Christian exegesis.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This chapter argues that Clement’s presentation of the divine economy as a pedagogy is mirrored by a hermeneutical process in which the “little ones” (new converts) read Scripture “according to the letter,” while Clement’s contemplative gnostic reads “according to the syllable.” Clement pictures this hermeneutical contrast as a movement from fear to wisdom. As Christians traverse the divine pedagogy leading to the eschatological vision of God, they (as readers) will actually progress through distinct modes of reading. Moreover, the chapter argues that Clement derives this distinctive narrative from the Scriptures themselves and thereby manifests that the Lord’s voice in Scripture reveals itself to simple believers in a pedagogic mode as “examples” or “moral exhortations,” but, to Clement’s contemplative, Scripture appears in didactic mode as “symbols” or “enigmas” that introduce the deepest mysteries of God. This reading of Clement situates the focus on the intended audience of his treatises.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This chapter develops further the implication of the previous chapter that the art of rhetorical memory is, in fact, an art of recollection—the skill of recalling items from one’s memorial archive. After examining the art of recollection in Aristotle’s De memoria and Cicero’s De oratore, the chapter utilizes a helpful illustration to argue that Clement presents the entire process of memory and recollection as an art of literary “invention.” Rhetorical invention in Christian exegesis is much like the constellations of astronomers. These astronomers never intended to recall groups of stars that “looked like” certain mythic creatures, but rather assumed, as we do, that the patterns of the stars were the significant pieces of information to be understood from the constellations. Similarly, and employing the Pauline building metaphor in 1 Cor. 3, Clement marks an early stage in a tradition of creative exegesis that will continue into the medieval monastic practices of memoria sacra. This chapter argues that Clement is rightly seen as an exegete whose enterprise of literary analysis is not only grounded in the grammatical tradition, but also an activity of rhetorical invention—the imaginative act of discovering what may be said about a text in any given instance.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter introduces to Homeric studies the concepts of oral texts—utterances capable of spiting the power of time—and entextualization—the process of making an oral text. It delves into a range of material, from the speeches Zeus entrusts to messengers to public laments over fallen warriors, from the narrator’s catalogues to moments in which the text engages in its own exegesis. It thereby explores the ways in which the Homeric characters talk about and craft oral texts and considers how the narrator text and the poem as a whole deploy mechanisms of entextualization. It concludes that our Homeric poets fashioned an utterance capable of outlasting the moment each time they performed, and that conclusion prompts revisions to how Homerists talk about texts.

Full textAbstract:
The Eucharistic controversy entered a new phase at the beginning of 1526 with the publication of several Latin pamphlets attacking Oecolampadius’s position. The most important of these were by Johannes Brenz and Theobald Billican. In his responses to these pamphlets, Oecolampadius developed a number of arguments against Christ’s bodily presence that were shaped by both Aristotelian philosophy and Erasmian hermeneutics and exegesis. He also addressed broader questions concerning the purpose and value of the sacraments. Ludwig Hätzer translated Oecolampadius’s treatises into German, and by the fall of 1526 the debate had shifted to the vernacular. In the process, it became more polemical and the arguments against the sacramentarians were simplified to make them easier for the less literate to understand. Oecolampadius was not merely Ulrich Zwingli’s follower but was instead a major contributor to the debate in his own right.

Abstract This chapter attends to the centrality of reading in the process by which people become Pushtimargi. It argues that vārtā texts contribute to a shared grammar of devotional experience and praxis that animates devotees’ everyday lives. Although this study more broadly emphasizes how Pushtimargis engage with devotional literature in ways that are unique to their own social positions and historical circumstances, this chapter emphasizes that devotees also participate in an ever-emergent but shared “grammar of tradition” as readers. This grammar emerges from the style and content of the written hagiographies themselves (e.g., their distinct dialogical features, such as direct speech) and is formed and reformed each time devotees gather together to read, analyze, and discuss the narratives in community settings. In this way, practices of reading and textual exegesis become primary modes through which devotees—as individuals and in community—continuously make their traditions relevant to the contemporary world.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter is a reflection on how thinking and living an anthropological life are joined together. The discussion proceeds through an exegesis of two books on loss—one, a book of poems written by Renato Rosaldo, years after the death of his wife, Michelle Rosaldo; and the second, on the women raped and rehabilitated as bironganas (war heroines) in the national imagery in post-war Bangladesh. Rosaldo allows the searing grief at the death of his wife to find expression in different voices imagined as those of actual people from his earlier fieldwork. The refraction of his grief into these different voices reveals the omens and premonitions that convey the menace and dangers that lurk in everyday life. Nayanika Mookherjee finds a way of conveying the fine grains of experience in the extreme history (charam itihas) that the women said they were offering to her and in which they lived as khota—damaged, stained women. It is argued that the book itself might be regarded as written in an autobiographical voice though this voice is defined not through personal stories but through the self-knowledge that comes when writing from the impersonal region of the self.

Full textAbstract:
Jihad (‘struggle’, ‘striving’) in the Qur’an and Sunnah is a term with multiple inflections. The reiterated Qur’anic phrase al-jihad fi sabil Allah (‘striving in the path of God’) allows for that striving to be accomplished in myriad ways. After surveying a range of exegeses of relevant Qur’anic verses and early hadith works, the paper shows how fully Fethullah Gülen’s empha- sis on jihad as a means of personal, moral, spiritual and social renewal and transformation is in line with the earliest meanings found in exegetical and hadith works. Such a traditional, historical understanding runs counter to recent, polemical assertions that jihad is a monova- lent term requiring unremitting armed combat against non-Muslims. The paper demonstrates that contemporary Muslim thinkers like Gülen, who offer a more expansive and multi-facet- ed reading of what it means to ‘strive in the path of God’, are harking back to earlier, and thus more historically authentic, understandings of jihad and its moral purview. The Arabic term jihad has primarily come to mean “armed struggle/combat” and is frequently translated into English as “holy war.” And yet a close scrutiny of the occurrence of this term in the Qur’an and early hadith literature in particular demonstrates that this exclusive under- standing of the term cannot be supported for the formative period of Islam. In the Qur’an the phrase “fi sabil Allah,” meaning “in the path of God” or “for the sake of God,” is frequently conjoined to al-jihad. The full Arabic expression “al-jihad fi sabil Allah” means “striving/ struggling in the path of God” in the broadest sense. In the supporting hadith and exegetical literature, this human struggle for the noblest purpose – that is, to win God’s approval– is manifested in multiple ways. This paper will discuss the multiple meanings of jihad as evident in the Qur’an, exegeses, and hadith literature, particularly from the early period. After having established the broad range of meanings assigned to jihad in these sources, I will then proceed to discuss Fethullah Gülen’s understanding of jihad and its relevance for contemporary Muslims. It will be argued that his understanding of jihad replicates the polyvalence of this term in Qur’an and hadith literature and that his emphasis on both its spiritual and physical dimensions is timely and relevant today, especially in the wake of the appropriation of this term as a relentlessly mili- tant activity by contemporary extremist groups.

Full textAbstract:
Generating electricity from power cycle using supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) as a working fluid is a step towards efficiency improvement in power production field. The huge amount of studies on this topic shows promising results of utilization from low to medium grade heat of power generation. Several layouts, arrangements, and thermodynamical features were presented to improve the performance of the power cycle. The main property of such a power cycle is that it utilizes wasted heat to produce electricity. One source of wasted heat is flared gas in oil and gas industry. Flaring process is considered as an extensive economic loss due to its high heating value. This flare gas is burned in industry due to several purposes, mainly safety and process needs. Utilization of flare gas in producing electricity through sCO2 cycle is being proposed in this research, where two cycles were proposed to study the performance of the cycle using flare gas as fuel. First, the Flare-to-Power sCO2 (FTP1- sCO2) cycle utilizing the flare gas mixed with natural gas to heat the working fluid of the cycle which sCO2. The second cycle (FTP2- sCO2) flare gas is utilized in reheating process for the exhaust flow of a primary heating working fluid. The performance of the cycles is evaluated by implementing energetic and exegetic analysis. The results of the study showed that FTP 1 has higher thermal and overall exergy efficiencies compared to FTP 2. Furthermore, the analysis showed that as maximum pressure increases thermal efficiency increase, the same behavior was found also while increasing T_max. The maximum thermal efficiency was found to be 44.87% at T_max= 850 C, P_h= 25 MPa, P_l= 3.3 MPa, T_min= 32 C, and m_flare=0.18 kg/s, for a 50 MW power capacity.

Full textAbstract:
The Building Energy Data Book (2009) [1] shows that commercial and residential buildings in the U.S. consume 39.9% of the primary energy and contribute 39% of the total CO2 emissions. In the operation of buildings, 41.8% of building energy consumption is provided for building cooling, heating, domestic hot water, and ventilation for commercial buildings, while in residential buildings, this percentage increases to 58%. In energy system analysis, the energy approach is the traditional method of assessing the way energy is used in an operation. However, an energy balance provides no information on the degradation of energy or resources during a process. The concept of exergy combines the first law and second law of thermodynamics. The exergy analysis clearly quantifies the energy quality match between the supply and demand sides, and also addresses the exergy destruction (entropy generation) in each component. In this paper, a solar thermal driven absorption cooling system was analyzed for providing cooling to a building, the Intelligent Workplace South Zone at Carnegie Mellon University. The system includes a 52 m2 parabolic trough solar collector, and a 16 kW (4 tons) two-stage lithium bromide absorption chiller. The energy model and newly developed two-stage lithium bromide absorption chiller are programmed and integrated in Engineering Equation Solver (EES). The temperature, enthalpy, entropy, mass flow rate, and mass fraction of lithium bromide in the solar absorption system were presented in steady state operation. The exergy destruction in each component is calculated. The exergy destructions for the solar collector, generator, absorber, and heat exchangers were significantly higher than those in evaporator, condenser and expansion valves, the overall energy and exegetic efficiency were also calculated.
