The ‘insider/outsider’ dilemma of ethnography: Working with young children and their families in cross-cultural contexts
No full textIn this article we unravel the difficulty of being researchers in the homes and classrooms of children and
their families whose origins are, for one of us, very different and, for the other, very similar to our own.
We first situate our work within theories of early socialization and literacy teaching which underpin our
understanding of how young children in cross-cultural contexts learn. We then turn to the question of
working with the families and teachers of these children which poses dilemmas not explained by the theories
presented. We illustrate these through a series of vignettes typifying both the ‘Outsider’ and the ‘Insider’ role.
The stories highlight paradigmatic moments of complexity, clashes or collusion which we unpick in terms of
their generalizability for others working in the field. Finally, we extend theories of dialogue in our search for
a methodology for collaborative work in future cross-cultural ethnographic studies
The apophatic thought of Gregory of Nyssa
No full textopenL'obiettivo di questa tesi è indagare il pensiero filosofico di Gregorio di Nissa, un vescovo e autore cristiano del IV secolo, e la sua importanza per la teologia apofatica. Come gli altri due Padri Cappadoci (Basilio di Cesarea e Gregorio di Nazianzo), Gregorio è attivo sia nei dibattiti trinitari che nelle problematiche mistico-ascetiche. Pur essendo meno retoricamente dotato degli altri due Cappadoci, il Nisseno è tuttavia superiore a loro nelle capacità speculative, e questo è anche dovuto alla sua abilità di integrare il pensiero dei Greci e il sistema teologico di Origene nell'ortodossia cristiana. Oltre a ciò, Gregorio riceve attenzione da parte degli studiosi per la sua (presunta) affermazione della salvezza universale e per le sue riflessioni sulla libertà e sul genere.The goal of this dissertation is to analyze the philosophical thought of Gregory of Nyssa, a 4th century Christian bishop and author, andf his importance for apophatic theology. Like the other two Cappadocian Fathers (Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nazianzus) Gregory is involved both in the Trinitarian debates and in mystical and ascetical issues. While being less rhetorically gifted than the other two Cappadocians, Gregory is nevertheless superior to them when it comes to speculative skills, and that's also due to his ability to integrate the thought of the Greeks and Origen's theological system into Christian orthodoxy. Furthermore, scholars pay attention to Gregory because of his (supposed) affirmatiion of universal salvation and his reflections on freedom and gender

Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
No full textIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)

The reception of Qoheleth in a selection of rabbinic, patristic and nonconformist texts
No full textThe purpose of this thesis is to examine the reception of the text of Qoheleth in a selection of rabbinic, patristic and nonconformist literature. The differences in the act of reading, reception and response to this text in discrete
Judaic and Christian locations is examined. The source texts that are considered are Qoheleth Rabbah, Targum Qoheleth, Gregory of Nyssa's homilies and Matthew Henry's exposition on Ecclesiastes. The thesis further investigates historical and theological experiential influences on the reception of Qoheleth as portrayed by the source texts. The text of Qoheleth and its history of interpretation, and the value of
examining the reception of the text by specific readers from a variety of contexts are discussed in the first chapter. In the consecutive chapters the reception of Qoheleth by each source text is examined individually. The historical and
theological contexts of each source text are described, including literary traditions and exegetical principles.
In the detailed examination of the source texts, the textual structural challenges that Qoheleth poses and how and why
they are responded to by the author(s) of the source texts are analysed. The final chapter compares and contrasts the main issues raised by the differing readings of Qoheleth, including the identity of Solomon and the view of God, and also, the differing contextual perspectives in which the reception process took place. Finally, a brief examination of a modem reader's (Michael V Fox') reception of Qoheleth is contrasted with that of earlier readers of the text. The manner in which the potential effects of Qoheleth are actualised and the process of meaning production varies between readers, being conditioned by their historical horizon
