This thesis will examine intensively “The Tower of Babel: A Morality” a significant work of Thomas Merton, a major spiritual writer of the 20th Century, entitled. In order to explore this play three other works which impacted significantly on the development of the drama will also be examined. These three works are: A poem also called “Tower of Babel”; a second poem entitled “A Responsory” and a musical work titled “The Tower of Babel: An Oratorio”. Even though Victor Kramer, a Merton scholar, noted the significance of the Morality, the existing literature has all but ignored the impact of “The Oratorio” and the drama. Until this author requested a copy of “The Oratorio” from the Merton Centre in Louisville, Kentucky the work had been known by name only and had never been analysed. Yet this work was a major development from the poem “A Responsory” and led to the creation of the Morality Play. This work argues that “A Morality” was pivotal in contributing to personal and spiritual change in Merton as well as developing a greater depth of social understanding in him. It will also argue that the work contained the seeds of future Merton writings. Writing the drama moved Merton towards a contemplative maturity based on communion not simply community. While many studies have alluded to the play none of them have studied it with this particular focus. This new focus is the discovery of the ways Merton attempted to resolve the dilemma he experienced between the paths of monk and poet and how, in doing so, he created for spiritual seekers a fresh inner significance for the Babel story. This work is opening up new ground for an understanding of the importance of Merton’s insights in the contemporary world. The methods used in this thesis are: 1. Contextualising, that is establishing the historical, social, spiritual and literary framework in which the poems and plays were written, and 2. Literary analysis. Part A of the thesis examines the monastic, spiritual, social, literary and academic contexts which brought Merton to the moment of writing the Morality. Part B is organised chronologically and is an intensive analysis of the poems, the Oratorio and the Morality Play. Part C identifies the seeds of future growth contained within the Morality play and points to some of the directions in which these seeds developed in later Merton works.

Hu, Yue. "Rebuilding the Tower of Babel: language policy and political trust in China". Diss., University of Iowa, 2018. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/6144.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
My dissertation explores how authoritarian governments use language policy to impact public political trust. Based on a comprehensive examination through survey analyses, experiments, and large-scale text analyses, my research demonstrates that authoritarian governments, such as in China, can use language policy as a political tool to influence citizens’ political attitudes. In particular, language policy empowers the official language used by government representatives, such as street-level bureaucrats, reinforcing their political identities and enhancing citizens' trust in them. Using an original randomized experiment in China based on a new sociolinguistic technique, my research finds robust evidence that listeners hold significantly more trust in bureaucrats who speak the official language than in those who speak dialects, even if the respondent and government representative share the same dialect. Furthermore, my research shows that language not only influences citizens' political trust but also their understanding of political concepts. Using a computer-assisted text analysis of over one million articles from the official newspaper of the dominant party of China from 1946-2003, I indicate a refocusing strategy by which the official discourse about democracy manipulates the meaning of democracy in the Chinese political language without contradicting with the Western democratic values, while simultaneously preserving the authoritarian regime. Drawing on multiple waves of nationally representative surveys from China, my dissertation also identifies distinctive effects of improving listening, speaking, and relative proficiencies of Putonghua on Chinese citizens' political interest, efficacy, pursuit, and institutional-based political trust. This study contributes to political science, and even the entire social science by justifying the important role of language in human social and political lives and turning the research focus from language content to language context.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Among the vast assembly of Biblical mythology, the tower of Babel stands as an exclusive representation of the limits of human endeavor. As a paradigmatic extremity, it circumscribes the field of civic artifice. Babel is the absolute limit, and in that regard, its presence is enduring and timeless. The legacy of exegetic readings are textual shades, emanating from the point source of the paradigm. Athanasius Kircher's Turris Babel is an appropriate and intentional unfolding of this condition.Firstly, that in the awakening of the Baroque scholar to history, origin materializes as the sole legitimate chronological reference.
Secondly, that the paradigmatic extremities collapse into the empirical standard of the theoretical discourse.
This thesis is a speculative study of architecture, drawn through Turris Babel, in the shadow of the paradigmatic limits of Babel. Written in three parts, each dealing with the implications of artifice in confrontation with the post-Babel adversaries of dispersion, tyranny, and decay.

Prenant au mot la question d'un étudiant qui lui demandait pourquoi il était impossible d'écrire un roman tel que Middlemarch au XXe siècle, Byatt se lança le défi d'écrire une œuvre « à la manière de » George Eliot. Ce défi fut à l'origine de sa tétralogie. Ce travail analyse la manière dont Byatt réexamine le discours réaliste et l'héritage du roman réaliste du XIXe siècle, la manière dont elle « revisite » cette partie de la maison de la fiction dans sa tétralogie, tout en explorant les liens que la littérature entretient avec la réalité et la façon dont elle intègre diverses formes de représentation (topoï littéraires, images, représentations collectives, etc. ). Selon nous, la tétralogie est une œuvre sur la représentation. Ce travail se fonde sur l'étude de quatre espaces : l'espace domestique, l'espace public, des mondes parallèles et l'espace littéraire et sa configuration poétique. Notre analyse part de l'espace domestique, noyau du roman réaliste, pour ensuite s'élargir à l'espace public et aux représentations collectives associées aux années 1950 et 1960. La représentation de ces deux espaces est marquée par de nombreuses dissonances et de multiples illusions qui nous ont conduit à étudier les dérives de la représentation qu'illustrent d'étranges « mondes parallèles », miroirs déformants de la société « normale ». Nous avons finalement examiné la propédeutique du voir que Byatt met en place à travers un dialogue des disciplines, une insistance particulière sur des figures matrices, les incipits et les excipits et aux éléments que Byatt place à l'origine de son inspiration créatrice : la vision, les couleurs, les métaphores et le refus du binarismeWhen a student asked Byatt why it should be impossible to write a novel like Middlemarch in the twentieth century, she took him at his word and decided to take up the challenge to write a novel "in the manner of George Eliot. This challenge served as a starting point for her tetralogy. This study analyses the way in which Byatt re-examines realist discourse and the legacy of nineteenth century realism, the way in which she "revisits" this part of the house of fiction in her tetralogy, while exploring the links between literature and reality and the manner in which literature incorporates various forms of representation (literary topoi, images, collective representations, etc. ). Byatt's tetralogy is a work on representation. This study concentrates on four types of spaces : the domestic space, the public space, parallel worlds and the literary space and its poetics. Our analysis starts with the domestic space, which is at the core of the realist novel, and then broadens to consider the public space and the collective representations associated with the 1950s and 1960s. The representation of these two spaces is marked by many dissonances and illusions, which led us to examine the defamiliarisation of representation within "parallel worlds" which mirror "normal" society in a distorted way, We finally studied the manner in which Byatt teaches her reader how to see and interpret, thanks to a dialogic approach to the different disciplines, an emphasis on central figures and on the incipits and the excipits, and the elements which were at the origin of Byatt's inspiration : vision, colours, metaphors and the rejection of binary thought

The focus of this study is to investigate what images of Sweden are transmitted in the novel The road to Ithaca (1994), by the Uruguayan author Carlos Liscano. The study focuses on the first half part of the novel for this taking place in Stockholm, Sweden, in the early nineties. The aim is to investigate by what literary strategies and literary subgenres the images of Sweden are transmitted. The theoretical framework applied derives from studies of the literary genre of the picaresque novel and its bufonesco mood, such as the literary strategies irony and laconism. For the analysis Mieke Bal´s concept of focalization and semantic axes are used. The study shows that in Sweden there are parallel worlds to the official world of the welfare state; in the shadow side of society there are the metecos, unwanted residents: the undocumented and the mentally ill. Through a picaresque and ironic style, the author shows that Sweden is a neat, clean, but culturally hermetic society; almost perfect on the surface, but with a lot of hidden “trash” beneath. The welfare state of Sweden seams benevolent in its integrative intention, but is, at the same time, blind, or even worse, disinterested in the new reality of the country; that of the welfare state in dissolution and Sweden as a Tower of Babel.

The essay at hand is a New Historicist reading of C. S. Lewis’ dystopian fantasy novel That Hideous Strength. According to New Historicist theory it is informed by many disciplines, namely, philosophy, history, literary theory, theology, social science, and psychology, and it attempts to lessen injustices of race and class. The essay examines how satire operates in the novel, focusing on its societal targets: totalitarianism, laboratory animals, and education. Lewis’ philosophical idea expressed in his “The Abolition of Man” – that a society that averts from what he calls universal, timeless, objective values will eventually lead to a loss of that which is truly humane – is a main theme of the novel as well as for this essay. Another, complementary, main theme is that a cultivation of the heart is necessary for individuals of society since childhood if society is going to stay humane.

My Thesis body of work, The Mythos for the Mortal, presents visual interpretations of apocalyptic mythoi—past, present, and future. These works are both a conscious and unconscious response to childhood exposure to apocalyptic stories and form a visual record of social, political and religious interpretations of the apocalypse. The overarching theme of apocalypse (from the Greek word Apokalypsis, meaning ‘to unveil’ or ‘to reveal’) has allowed me to reconnect to my youth and heritage and has driven me to articulate more clearly a perspective regarding the future and what it will ‘reveal’ to us. I use the landscape as a stage to create narratives and metaphors expressing these ideas. These paintings and drawings are divided into four categories of apocalypse: historical, future, ecological, and personal.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This dissertation examines the various ways Anglo-Saxon authors interpreted and adapted Genesis 10–11: the Table of Nations and the Tower of Babel narrative. Although Genesis 10–11 offered Christians of Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages a scripturally authorized understanding of the origins of ethnic and linguistic diversity of the world, its nature as an ancient Jewish text that deals with matters more suitable to its original audience than to its late antique and medieval readers allowed these later readers to transform the meaning of the text in order to give it a significance more fitting to their own times.
In the first section of my dissertation, I treat the topos of the number 72, which becomes prominent when authors of Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages read it into the Table of Nations as the number of descendants of Noah’s three sons. My first chapter deals with the initial development of this topos in Christian and Jewish writings of Late Antiquity; my second chapter with the topos in the Latin writings of early Anglo-Saxons, from the biblical commentaries from the School of Canterbury to Alcuin; and my third chapter with the topos in the writings of later Anglo-Saxons, from King Alfred to the Old English texts of the eleventh century.
In the second section of my dissertation, I treat the interpretations of the Tower of Babel as they form and are informed in Late Antiquity and Anglo-Saxon England. As in the first section, three chapters are presented: the first on the initial developments in Late Antiquity; the second on the continual development into the Latin authors of early Anglo-Saxon England; and the third on the mainly Old English authors of the later Anglo-Saxon period.

Oosthuizen, Neil T. "Babel, babble, and Babylon : reading Genesis 11:1-9 as myth". Thesis, 2002. http://hdl.handle.net/10500/1126.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The story of the Tower of Babel (Gen 11: 1-9) has been interpreted in various ways down through the centuries. However, most commentators have ignored the genre of the text, and have not sought to interpret it within its mythological framework - therefore most interpretations are nothing short of babble. A working text is ascertained, and the complexity of the text investigated. The text is then identified as 'myth': within its mythological framework the tower is seen as a temple linking heaven and earth, ensuring the continuation of the royal dynasty (i e 'making a name'). When used by the Yahwist Levites during the Babylonian Exile, our story was inserted in the great Pre-History as polemic against the Babylonian concept of creation, temple, and dynasty; and served
as both a warning and an encouragement to the Exiles. The post-exilic Priestly Writer re-interpreted our story as a warning to the returning exiles that their society, and their temple, should be reconstructed as YHWH determines.
Interpreting the story as myth enables it, finally, to speak clearly into our context today, especially that of South Africa.Biblical and Ancient Studies

"TREE OF EDEN, TOWER OF BABEL: The Controversy Over the Establishment of St. Thomas More College at the University of Saskatchewan 1913-1936". Thesis, 1989. http://hdl.handle.net/10388/6996.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
St. Thomas More College was established as a Catholic college at the University of
Saskatchewan in 1936 after twenty-three years of effort and controversy within the
Saskatchewan Catholic community. The present thesis describes the events leading up to the establishment of this educational institution and examines the disagreements between the French and Irish or English-speaking Catholics over the kind of higher education which would best serve the needs of the Catholics of Saskatchewan. The conflicts between the two groups within the Saskatchewan setting are found to be related to interethnic antagonisms which developed between these groups in eastern/central Canada prior to and
during the settlement period in the Prairie West.
The controversy over Catholic higher education in Saskatchewan is also explored in
terms of individuals and groups who came to Saskatchewan from eastern Canada and Europe. bringing with them mental images or models of higher education which they hoped to see duplicated in Saskatchewan. The French-Canadian bishop of Regina advocated one Catholic university for Western Canada. while the Irish/English-speaking laity of the Saskatoon area wanted to establish a Catholic college in affiliation/ federation with the University of Saskatchewan. For his part. the university president hoped to have a Catholic college affiliated with the university. in order to maintain a strong provincial institution and avoid the decentralized model of higher education which had emerged in the Maritimes.
The founding of a Chair of Scholastic Philosophy in 1926 and STM in 1936 are also
examined within the context of the history of the university. the development of other institutions of Catholic higher education in western Canada. and the economic. political and social development of Saskatchewan between 1913 and 1936. The thesis concludes with a summary of the 1936 negotiations between Basilian Superior-General Henry Carr and University President Walter Murray for the establishment of St. Thomas More College as a federated college at the University of Saskatchewan.

ANOTATION The work deals with translation and interpretation of the original Hebrew text of Genesis 11, making the use of synchronous exegetical method. The method focuses mostly on careful observation of multi-layered meanings of Hebrew terms, direct speeches, macrosyntactical markers, parallelisms and sentence constituents. To reach deeper dimension of the text, the work also takes into account the original non-vocalized text, graphical form of the text, consonances and metathesis. One of the most significant features of this work is the attention paid to the timeless nature of Hebrew verbs, which allows to read the narrative about human desire, pride, non-hearing, illusions, inner decay and the way back to God not as a story from the past, but as a lively anthropological message.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This dissertation examines three novels by the author and critic A.S. Byatt, namely
Possession (1990), Babel Tower (1996) and The Biographer’s Tale (2000), using a
hermeneutic method of analysis. The investigation pays specific attention to the structure of
the novels and how this compares to the structure of the ancient palimpsest. Theoretical
information on the palimpsest as model is based on relevant writings by Thomas Carlyle
(1830, 1833), Thomas De Quincey (1845) through to Josephine McDonagh (1987), Gérard
Genette (1997) and Sarah Dillon (2007). The ensuing argument is that Byatt’s use of
postmodernist pseudo-intertextuality and intertextuality cause her novels to have a
palimpsestic structure of various layers, with the effect that textual boundaries are
transgressed. Ultimately Byatt’s writing strategies result in ontological uncertainty for the
reader.MA (English), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014.
