The role of imagination in Bergman, Klein and Sartre
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and was awarded by Brunel UniversityThis thesis provides an inter-disciplinary study of selected works by Ingmar Bergman. I explore how key concepts from Melanie Klein and Jean-Paul Sartre apply to the focus on characters in a state of heightened imagination; and the value placed on imagination in the construction of these films. This involves recognition of the way an active response from the viewer is encouraged.
Klein, Sartre and Bergman also attend to contextual factors that challenge any notion of subjectivity as sovereign and the power of imagination is frequently placed in a social context. All three figures develop their ideas within specialised fields drawing on the influence of others. Chapter 2 shows how Klein’s ideas relate to the influence of Freud before exploring how her work can be applied to Bergman’s films through the example of Wild Strawberries. Chapter 3 concentrates on Sartre’s early work, The Imaginary and considers how this is significant in relation to some of Sartre’s better-known philosophical ideas developed during and after the Second World War. These ideas will lead to an exploration of The Seventh Seal.
Chapters 4, 5, and 6 focus on three films from distinct parts of Bergman’s career: Summer with Monika, The Virgin Spring and Hour of the Wolf. In Chapter 4 this will be preceded by a brief over-view of three more films from the early part of Bergman’s career. These chapters explore how Kleinian and Sartrean ideas can be incorporated in close analysis, and alongside selected critical responses to the films. The analysis integrates key points from Klein and Sartre in a methodology specific to film studies. This will include analysis of cinematic elements such as camera work and lighting, and recognition of narrative structure and character developmen

Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

Classification of domains based on Bergman spaces, kernels, and metrics
No full textClassifying domains up to biholomorphism is a fundamental problem in several complex variables. Simultaneously, the theory of Bergman kernels and metrics provides powerful geometric-analytic tools in complex geometry. This dissertation presents results classifying domains in complex manifolds or based on the properties of their Bergman metric, Bergman kernel, and the orthogonality relations of complex monomials in their Bergman spaces.After presenting background material in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 establishes that the Bergman metric of the ball quotients , where is a finite and fixed-point-free unitary group, is K\"ahler-Einstein if and only if is trivial. As a consequence, we characterize the unit ball , among two-dimensional Stein spaces with isolated normal singularities, proving an algebraic version of Cheng's conjecture. Following a theorem of Milnor, the proof uses careful computations and estimations for both sides of the K\"ahler-Einstein equation for different quotient groups , to reach the conclusion. In Chapter 3, on a two-dimensional Stein space with isolated normal singularities, smooth finite-type boundary, and locally algebraic Bergman kernel, we establish an estimate on the type of the boundary in terms of the local algebraic degree of the Bergman kernel. To prove this, we also derive a localization result for the Bergman kernel of complex manifolds with pseudoconvex and finite-type boundaries. As an application, we characterize two-dimensional ball quotients as the only Stein spaces with smooth finite-type boundary and locally rational Bergman kernel. Let be a domain whose Bergman space contains all holomorphic monomials. In Chapter 4, we derive sufficient conditions for to be Reinhardt, complete Reinhardt, circular or Hartogs in terms of the orthogonality relations of the monomials with respect to their -inner products and their -norms. More generally, we give sufficient conditions for to be invariant under a group action of an -dimensional torus, where
