The voice of Jesus in six parables and their interpreters
Get PDF'Figures of speech' provide a suggestive key for approaching the question of Jesus' individual tone of voice. Apprehending a figure implies insight into an intention, and beyond intention to discern unconscious influences upon the speaker. This is the conceptual framework for a study of the 'voice of Jesus' in six parables peculiar to Luke (10:25-37; 15:11-32; 16:1-9; 16:19-31; 18:1-8; 18:9-14) and in commentaries upon them. In the premodern era commentators approached the parables with an immediacy of insight, seeking the divine intention behind the texts. Nevertheless we may hear the voice of Jesus echoing in their commentaries in morally specific tones. In the work of Jülicher 'insight', though repudiated, is still important, as he seeks the intention of Jesus through the figure of simile. Jülicher offers insight into Jesus as a passionate communicator, but goes beyond Jesus' intention in making him a propounder of generalities. More recently a concern with the intention of Jesus is replaced by a concern with how his voice was heard. The necessity of insight remains apparent in B.B. Scott's use of metaphor as an interpretative key. An impression is given of Jesus as a provocative subversive. In their context in Luke-Acts, the parables function as metonymies of the gospel, and yield an impression of the voice of Jesus as suggestively concerned with the life of this world. In the ministry of Jesus the parables function as synecdoches, offering hearers a realistic and hopeful 'part' of the world from which they must fashion a 'whole’. Against the background of Scripture the parables display a deep continuity with older forms of discourse, but also important tokens of newness. A stream of influence can be traced from the Old Testament, through Jesus and Luke, and on through their interpreters, though recently its course has been somewhat diverted
O Sistema de integração na produção de aves no Oeste Catarinense: análise sobre o processo de trabalho e a relação contratual entre a empresa Sadia e avicultores
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Sócio-Econômico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Serviço Social, Florianópolis, 2010Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar, dentro de uma perspectiva crítico-dialética, o sistema de integração na produção de aves no oeste catarinense, mais especificamente o que condiz ao processo de trabalho e à relação contratual entre avicultores integrados e a agroindústria Sadia. O sistema de integração avícola surge no oeste catarinense em meados da década de 1970, pioneiramente implantado pela Sadia, sendo aderido posteriormente por todas as empresas do ramo. Aparece como um dos reflexos da modernização no campo e como uma estratégia bem sucedida destas empresas na obtenção de matéria-prima abundante, de qualidade, a custos irrisórios. Atualmente a Sadia possui, só no oeste de Santa Catarina, aproximadamente 6.000 produtores integrados. Esse estudo permitiu conhecer elementos deste modelo de produção, observando suas formas de organização, antes e depois da reestruturação produtiva, as relações estabelecidas entre empresa e produtores integrados, a rotina de trabalho, as exigências a que se encontram subjugados e de que forma inferem na vida destes trabalhadores. Para tanto, realizamos entrevistas com pequenos avicultores familiares integrados, ex-funcionário da empresa em questão, integrante de organização sindical e analisamos alguns documentos a que tivemos acesso. Constatamos, desta maneira, que o sistema de produção integrada oculta, sob a figura jurídica da parceria, uma forma de trabalho precarizado e consiste em uma fonte valorosa de extração de mais-valia para as agroindústrias
Harmony and discord within the English ‘counter-culture’, 1965-1975, with particular reference to the ‘rock operas’ Hair, Godspell, Tommy and Jesus Christ Superstar
No full textPhDThis thesis considers the discrete, historically-specific theatrical and musical sub-genre of ‘Rock Opera’ as a lens through which to examine the cultural, political and social changes that are widely assumed to have characterised ‘The Sixties’ in Britain. The musical and dramatic texts, creation and production of Hair (1967), Tommy (1969), Godspell (1971), Jesus Christ Superstar (1970) and other neglected ‘Rock Operas’ of the period are analysed. Their great popularity with ‘mainstream’ audiences is considered and contrasted with the overwhelmingly negative and often internally contradictory reaction towards them from the English ‘counter-culture’. This examination offers new insights into both the ‘counter-culture’ and the ‘mainstream’ against which it claimed to define and differentiate itself.
The four ‘Rock Operas’, two of which are based upon Christian scriptures, are considered as narratives of spiritual quest. The relationship between the often controversial quests for re-defined forms of faith and the apparently precipitous ‘secularization’ and ‘de-Christianization’ of British society during the 1960s and 1970s is considered.
The thesis therefore analyses the ‘Rock Operas’ as significant, enlightening prisms through which to view many of the profound societal debates – over ‘faith’ and ‘belief’ in the widest senses, sexuality, the Vietnam war, generational conflict, drugs and ‘spiritual enlightenment’, and race – which were, to some considerable extent, elevated onto the national, political agenda by the activities of the broadly-defined ‘counter-culture’. It considers subsequent representations of the ‘counter-culture’ as the root of a contested but enduring popular legacy of ‘The Sixties' as a period of profound cultural change
A integração avícola catarinense: o trabalho precarizado oculto na contratualização

Aqui analisamos a relação da produção integrada de aves no oeste catarinense com a agricultura familiar, fazendo um paralelo com as análises marxianas acerca da relação manufatura e trabalho a domicílio, buscando evidenciar que o trabalho familiar no sistema de integração não é apenas forma de extração de mais mais -valia pelo capital, como também tende a atualizar formas agressivas e brutais de aumentar a produtividade do capital através de maior espoliação doprodutor, isto é, do trabalhador e sua família, sob a aparência de uma relação contratual moderna, na qual vigora a figura jurídica da parceriade modo a ocultar a precarizaçã
Entre negritude e pertencimento: a escrita insurgente de Carolina Maria de Jesus em Diário de Bitita / Between Blackness and Belonging: The Insurgent Writing of Carolina Maria de Jesus in Diário de Bitita
No full textResumo: A presença do negro no cenário literário brasileiro vem se tornando mais visível nas últimas décadas. Embora no passado esse protagonismo tenha sido mais tímido, principalmente quando se trata da mulher negra, essa presença hoje é bastante expressiva. Carolina Maria de Jesus, apesar do preconceito e da discriminação, é uma das muitas escritoras afrodescendentes que conseguiu destaque no meio literário. Através de sua escrita, mostrou a situação de pobreza, de miséria e de exclusão que sofreu durante sua vida. Dessa forma, o presente artigo objetiva analisar a obra Diário de Bitita (1986), enfocando aspectos como a negritude e o pertencimento. De forma específica, buscou-se entender como a questão racial e a ideia de pertencimento são abordadas na referida obra, além de discutir como Carolina de Jesus lidava com essas questões na sua infância e adolescência. Para tanto, buscou-se como auxílio os aportes teóricos de Cixous (2017), Fanon (2008), Hall (2005), entre outros. Observou-se, através desta análise, que a escrita de Carolina Maria de Jesus é um instrumento utilizado pela escritora para denunciar a situação dos pobres e, principalmente dos negros, diante de uma sociedade dominada por uma concepção eurocêntrica que privilegia os brancos em detrimento dos negros. Diante do preconceito, da discriminação e da exclusão vivenciados por Bitita, muitas vezes ela desejava ter a pele branca para assim poder usufruir dos mesmos direitos de que dispunham os brancos.Palavras-chave: escrita; negritude; pertencimento; Diário de Bitita.Abstract: The presence of blacks in the Brazilian literary scene has become more visible in recent decades. Although in the past this main role was more timid, especially when it comes to black women, this presence today is quite expressive. Carolina Maria de Jesus, despite of prejudice and discrimination, is one of the many Afro-descendant writers who had achieved prominence in the literary medium. Through her writing, she showed the situation of poverty, misery and exclusion she suffered during her life. Thus, this article aims to analyze the work Diário de Bitita (Bitita’s Diary, 1986), focusing on aspects such as blackness and belonging. More specifically, we sought to understand how the racial issue and the idea of belonging are addressed in the referred work, in addition to discussing how the author dealt with these issues in her childhood and adolescence. Therefore, support was sought in the theoretical contributions of Cixous (2017), Fanon (2008), Hall (2005), among others. It was observed that Carolina Maria de Jesus uses her writing as an instrument to denounce the situation of poor and, especially of black people, in the face of a society dominated by an Eurocentric conception that privileges whites over blacks. Facing the prejudice, discrimination and exclusion experienced by Bitita, she often wished to have white skin to enjoy the same rights as white people.Keywords: writing; blackness; belonging; Diário de Bitita

Zechariah 9-14 as the substructure of 1 Peter’s eschatological program
No full textThe principal aim of this study is to discern what has shaped the author of 1 Peter to regard Christian suffering as a necessary (1.6) and to-be-expected (4.12) component of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ. Most research regarding suffering in 1 Peter has limited the scope of inquiry to two particular aspects—its cause and nature, and the strategies that the author of 1 Peter employs in order to enable his addressees to respond in faithfulness. There remains, however, the need for a comprehensive explanation for the source that has generated 1 Peter’s theology of Christian suffering. If Jesus truly is the Christ, God’s chosen redemptive agent who has come to restore God’s people, then how can it be that Christian suffering is a necessary part of discipleship after his coming, death and resurrection? What led the author of 1 Peter to such a startling conclusion, which seems to runs against the grain of the eschatological hopes and expectations of Jewish restoration ideology?
This thesis analyzes the appropriation of shepherd and fiery trials imagery,
and argues that the author of 1 Peter is dependent upon Zechariah 9-14 for his
theology of Christian suffering. Said in another way, the eschatological program of
Zechariah 9-14, read through the lens of the Gospel, functions as the substructure
for 1 Peter’s eschatology and thus its theology of Christian suffering.
In support of this hypothesis, this study highlights the fact that Zechariah 9-
14 was available and appropriated in early Christianity, in particular in the Passion
Narrative tradition; that the shepherd imagery of 1 Pet 2.25 is best understood
within the milieu of the Passion Narrative tradition, and that it alludes to the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that the fiery trials imagery found in 1
Peter 1.6-7 and 1 Pet 4.12 is distinct from that which we find in Greco-Roman and OT
wisdom sources, and that it shares exclusive parallels with some unique features of
the eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that Zechariah 9-14 offers a more
satisfying explanation for the modification of Isa 11.2 in 1 Pet 4.14, the transition
from 4.12-19 to 5.1-4, why Peter has oriented his letter with the term διασπορά,
and why he has described his addresses as οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ; and finally that 1 Peter
contains an implicit foundational narrative that shares distinct parallels with the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14.
We can conclude that 1 Peter offers a unique vista into the way in which at
least one early Christian witness came to understand and to communicate the fact
that Christian suffering was a necessary feature of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ
Literary paths of Carolina Maria de Jesus: marginal experience and aesthetic construction
No full textAnálise da obra da escritora Carolina Maria de Jesus (1914-1977), em particular dos livros Quarto de despejo diário de uma favelada (1960); Casa de Alvenaria diário de uma exfavelada (1961); Pedaços da fome (1963) e Diário de Bitita (1986). Investigamos aspectos da edição do primeiro livro publicado, analisando a intervenção do editor na construção do estereótipo da escritora favelada e o impacto que isso representou na trajetória discursiva da autora. Nosso objetivo foi analisar a internalização da experiência histórica da margem ao campo da dicção da obra literária, superando a introdução da temática, quase inédita na produção literária brasileira, da favela e da sobrevivência urbana marginal. A obra caroliniana, muitas vezes reduzida a mero documento de interesse sociológico, se realiza com contornos estéticos próprios a escrita é parte fundante de sua constituição subjetiva, pois a autora estetiza a si, cria para si identidade e alteridade, constrói sua subjetividade através da palavra escrita, tornando-se autora, narradora e personagem de si mesma.Analysis of the work of writer Carolina Maria de Jesus (1914-1977), in particular the books Quarto de despejo diário de uma favelada (1960); Casa de Alvenaria diário de uma exfavelada (1961); Pedaços da fome (1963) e Diário de Bitita (1986). We investigate aspects of the edition of the first book published, analyzing editor intervention in the construction of the stereotype of \"writer slum\" and the impact this discourse represented in the trajectory of the author. Our aim was to analyze the internalization of the historical experience of the margin to the field of the literary diction, surpassing the introduction of the theme, almost unprecedented in Brazilian literary production, the slum and marginal urban survival. The work of Carolina Maria de Jesus often reduced to mere document of sociological interest, is done with own aesthetic contours - writing is a fundamental part of its subjective constitution, aestheticized as the author himself, creates for itself identity and otherness, constructs his subjectivity through written word, becoming author, narrator and character herself
Matthew’s Emmanuel Messiah: a paradigm of presence for god's people
Get PDFThe motif of divine presence is a clear phenomenon within the Gospel of Matthew. The modern critical means for assessing the ancient biblical text have multiplied to the point, some claim, of disparity. This study employs both narrative and redaction criticism in an attempt to respond authentically to the structural, historical and theological dimensions of Matthew's Gospel. This study begins with the presumption of the wholeness and integrity of Matthew's narrative, and assumes the gospel story to have an inherently dramatic structure which invites readers to inhabit imaginatively its narrative world and respond to its call. But since we are concerned with the role of both reader and author, this study also assumes a text with an historical author and context. The introduction focuses on the meta-critical dilemma facing New Testament students - what is the text and how do we read it? - and seeks some balance in terms of Krieger's analogy of the text as both window and mirror. Proposed is a narrative reading of Matthew's presence motif alongside a redaction critical assessment of it. In Chapter 2 the elements of narrative theory are introduced and relevant terms defined: the structure of narrative, the function of the narrator, points of view. Chapter 3 becomes an exercise in narrative reading, with Matthew's presence motif providing the focus, and the implied reader’s interaction with the story being predominant in interpretation. Characters, rhetorical devices, and points of view are discussed, to understand the motif's development throughout the story's progress. The thrust of Chapter 4 is thereafter to examine divine presence as a dominant motif within Matthew's most important literary context: the Jewish scriptures. Here the primary paradigms of divine presence provided by the Patriarchs, the Sinai experience, and the Davidic-Zion traditions are assessed. Chapter 5 follows with a more detailed examination of the OT "I am with you/God is with us" formula and its µeo' vµwv/ηuwv language, so strongly connected to Matthew's presence motif. Chapters 6-8 build on these investigations with a closer analysis of the three critical "presence passages" of Mt 1:23. 18:20 and 28:20. The passages and their contexts are probed from a redaction critical perspective, guided by the narrative investigation of Chapter 3, and the background from Chapters 4 and 5.The three major "presence passages" examined in Chapters 6-8 are also complimented by a number of secondary issues: worship, wisdom, the Spirit and the poor in Matthew, and their relation to Jesus' divine presence. These are discussed in Chapter 9. Chapter 10 summarizes and looks briefly at some implications. Matthew' presence motif proves to be an important element of the Gospel’s rhetorical design, redactional strategy and Christology. The presence of Jesus, the Emmanuel Messiah, exhibited in his risen authority, becomes the focus of his people's hopes and experiences in the post-Easter world. What the presence of Yahweh was to his people. Jesus now provides in a new paradigm for his people - his followers, the little ones, the poor and the marginalized, from all nations
