    The literary-theoretical influences on the thought of Hans Frei and Paul Ricoeur, with reference to narrative identity

    No full text
    This thesis analyses those differences in interpretation which occur when separate literary-theoretical approaches are applied to biblical texts. Hans Frei suggests that the biblical texts describe the world in a way which he calls "realistic narrative". Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutic recognises the disclosive power of the text and translates the subject matter of the text into a "way-of- being-in-the-world". Thus, the primary identity disclosed by the biblical narratives differs. For Frei, it is the identity of Jesus which is disclosed; for Ricoeur, it is "our common human Christian identity". These two thinkers have usually been compared theologically. However, I contend that the theological investigations of both Frei and Ricoeur have been influenced by the literary approaches which guide their theological work. I give an exposition of this relationship in chapter one. In chapter two, I sketch out the implications of this relationship, focusing on the issue of narrative identity. In the final chapter, critiques of both systems are investigated as I attempt to deal with the force of these objections. This dissertation investigates Frei's and Ricoeur's construals of narrative identity (as constructed through the reading of Biblical texts). My working hypothesis is that the construals of identity formulated by Frei and Ricoeur rely upon formalist, narrative "interpretations”. My thesis contends that in their respective approaches to the notion of narrative identity, neither thinker has completely abandoned his early literary-theoretical roots in his theological proposals

    Self-management for cloud computing

    No full text
    Cloud computing is an emergent technology in the process of becoming ubiquitous. This requires strategies to deal with challenging situations. While a P2P structure is suitable under usual circumstances, other structures may be required in case of strong perturbations and disruptions. This paper describes a partial blackout scenario: the Cloud uses self-management properties to switch from a peer-to-peer structure to a temporary centralised structure, and then returns to normal. The system remains adaptive at all times, while maintaining performance under aggravated conditions. To achieve such self-management, a specific design pattern is suggested. Properties for self-adaptive and self-managing system are described, and implementation perspectives are discussed

    Este artigo analisa a chegada dos Capuchinhos de Lucca em Pernambuco a partir do século XIX até a década de 1930, quando Frei Damião iniciou suas missões que se estenderam por 66 anos. Entender os cenários hierárquicos, políticos e sociais que emolduravam os rincões sertanejos certamente facilita a compreensão das práticas religiosas encetadas por este frei que, diferentemente dos missionários que se destacaram anteriormente, não se preocupava com obras sociais, primando pela salvação das almas a partir da obediência radical à doutrina e às regras rígidas da moral tridentina.Palavras-chave: Missões católicas. Frei Damião. Capuchinhos de Lucca. AbstractThis article examines the arrival of the Capuchins of Lucca in the state of Pernambuco, between the beginning nineteenth century until the 1930s, when Frei Damião started his missions, which lasted for over 66 years. Having in mind the hierarchical, political and social backgrounds of the brazilian corners certainly helps to understand of the religious practices initiated by that Frei. Unlikely other missionaries who stood out before him, he did not care about social works, he focused on saving souls by radically following the rules of the Tridentine tradition.Keywords: Capuchins of Lucca.
