Theology and natural philosophy in late seventeenth and early eighteenth-century Britain
Full text linkA number of historians of science have claimed that the early Boyle Sermons provided a platform for the promotion of a moderate-Anglican social and political ideology underpinned by Newtonian natural philosophy. However, by examining in detail the texts of Richard Bentley, John Harris and Samuel Clarke, this thesis argues that their Sermons should not be characterised as 'Newtonian'. These texts were highly complex literary productions constructed with the intention of achieving victory over the enemies of Christianity. An examination of their rhetorical strategies
focuses attention on the use to which various cognitive materials - including natural philosophy - were put. Thus the presence of Newtonian concepts in the texts is
explained by the aims and overall scholarly programmes of the Lecturers. It will also be argued that the term 'Boyle Lectureship' is problematic and that the main elements of the Lectureship - Robert Boyle's bequest, the Trustees, the
Lecturers, and the Sermons - cannot be conflated into a single historical unit. Therefore, throughout this study, emphasis is placed on the contingent and singular
behaviour of individuals located within an ecclesiastical and scholarly community, where career promotion and the notion of scholarly credit were important. The brief
in Boyle's last will and testament stipulated that the Lecturers must defend Christianity using the scholarly tools to hand. In this thesis it will be shown that the
personnel of the Lectureship conformed to Boyle's brief and that they utilised all available methods and materials in the pursuance of their legal and institutional
responsibilities. This approach removes the analysis of the Lectureship from an overarching sociological perspective; instead the Sermons are interpreted as exemplary texts in the rhetorical prosecution of the enemies of Christianity. This study, therefore, acknowledges the complex nature of theological texts in early modern England
As tecnologias da comunicação digital em escolas de contexto rural
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Educação. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação.Esta investigação teve como objetivo analisar as Representações Sociais de professores sobre a inserção das Tecnologias da Comunicação Digital disponíveis nas Salas Informatizadas de escolas caracterizadas como de contexto rural do município de Rancho Queimado/SC. Procurou-se as interfaces existentes entre tecnologias da comunicação digital, educação e contexto rural, à luz dos processos de formação das Representações Sociais e dos universos que constituem as representações. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionário com questões fechadas e abertas e utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo proposta por Bardin (1979) para analisar as informações. Os resultados da pesquisa demonstram que, o desconhecimento técnico e pedagógico das Tecnologias da Comunicação Digital contribui para o desuso e subutilização das mesmas nas escolas. Ao analisar as representações dos professores, verificou-se que eles percebem a Sala de Informática e as Tecnologias da Comunicação Digital como algo positivo pela possibilidade de buscar informações e atualizá-las rapidamente, bem como utilizá-las como um recurso pedagógico, incrementando a sua prática docente. No entanto, eles também ponderam que o uso destas tecnologias deve ser controlado, devido a variedade de informações, algumas não muito adequadas pedagogicamente, e levantam como empecilho para a boa utilização do espaço da Sala de Informática e, consequentemente, das tecnologias, a falta de políticas que garantam a manutenção dos equipamentos e rede. Considerando o uso das Tecnologias da Comunicação Digital em contexto rural, a superação geográfica e a possibilidade de manter contato com outros centros de informação são as mais citadas pelos professores

The Micro Geopolitics of (Eco)Tourism: Competing Discourses and Collaboration in New Zealand and Brazil
No full textDVD Slideshow disc of supplementary material available with the print copy of this thesis, held at the University of Waikato Library.This social science, interdisciplinary research deals with 'competing discourses' and 'collaboration'. The thesis examines issues of power in (eco)tourism development as manifested in the discursive construction and positionality of local stakeholders. It then inquires whether collaborative schemes can bridge the various interest groups dealing with nature tourism activities in a way that they can expand social, economic and environmental benefits. The language they use, the context they live in, and their relationships and interactions are systematically deconstructed to unveil possible collaborative models for conflict resolution that can advance the practices of (eco)tourism as well as bring collective gains regionally. The study maps the micro geopolitics that exist in all levels of ecotourism development: in its conceptualisation, design, planning and management.
Focusing on nodes of conflict and nodes of collaboration, case studies were chosen in New Zealand and in Brazil that encompass public and private actors in (eco)tourism such as government agencies and small-scale tour operators. The 100% Pure New Zealand campaign, Kuaka New Zealand Education Travel, and Silves and Itacar in Brazil are investigated in depth. The researcher is concerned with the values, perceptions and attitudes of local actors about the role and importance of (eco)tourism as a concentration area for conservationist networks.
The author is skeptical about the constructions of (eco)tourism outside the context of local stakeholders that are 'imported' or imposed on them in a way that it increases pre-existing tensions and conflicts. With many cases in the literature showing that (eco)tourism lacks an institutional archetype to deliver all its promises, it is plausible to talk about nature-based tourism instead. However, the claim is not that simple, because ecotourism entails contentious issues; it is a complex activity as one takes it for social inclusion and as a tool for regional economic development. The author advocates that representative collaboration and partnerships can ease the move from destructive to constructive conflicts in (eco)tourism. Ecotourism is a complex activity as one uses it for social inclusion and as a tool for regional economic development. The author argues that the way (eco)tourism has been envisaged demands participatory managing structures such as local environmental governance (LEG) and deliberative associational spaces. One of the assumptions is that '(eco)tourism' can become even more meaningful and functional in its conservationist mission if locally discursively constructed, negotiated, and consensually implemented.
For deconstructing the cases, 'critical contextual discourse analysis' (CCDA) was developed. It is a methodological approach and tool used to shed light on textual production (written or spoken), consumption and interpretation, and its influences on social practices within a specific regional context. Social constructionism and theory of collaboration conceptually introduce the case. The author adopted a 'critical realist' stand. In the analysis, collaborative adaptive management, triple bottom line, corporate social responsibility, accreditation programmes, and the importance of environmental education for human attachment to nature are discussed as a background. On the whole, 17 interviewees in New Zealand and 42 in Brazil contributed to this study. Yet, in order to contrast statements on the ground, questionnaires were sent to 37 tour operators in New Zealand. Secondary qualitative and quantitative data significantly added to the investigation, helping to validate or refute preliminary assumptions
The salon and the stage : women and theatre in seventeenth-century France
No full textPhDThis thesis is a study of the links between female emancipation and the theatre in
seventeenth century France. Since both were considered problematical by some religious
moralists, the discussion is situated in the context of religious criticism. The approach is
broadly chronological and focuses in particular on the work of women playwrights.
The religious background is summarized in the Introduction. Part One surveys the
cultural climate, discussing links between salon society and the theatre including women's
involvement as patrons; their presence in the auditorium and on stage; and the concept of
'bienséance', examined here in the context of the 'querelle du Cid'.
Part Two considers the function of the stage as a place where women could literally
try out different roles. It examines ways in which women were portrayed in a selection of
plays from the 1630s to the 1670s (including works by Mairet, Rotrou, Corneille and
Molière), discussing the images of 'la femme forte' and 'la precieuse', and the contribution
made by playwrights to the contemporary debate on female emancipation.
Part Three is devoted to the work of six women playwrights who had their work
published or performed in France between 1650 and 1691 (Madame de Saint-Balmon, Marthe
Cosnard, Françoise Pascal, Marie-Catherine Desjardins, Madame Deshoulieres and Catherine
Bernard) and one whose only play was performed in England (Anne de La Roche-Guilhen).
The discussion focuses not only on the plays themselves and their inspiration, but on what
is known of each author's background and literary career, her contacts in literary society and
the reception of her work.
The involvement of women in the theatre proved of mutual benefit, contributing to its
popularity and providing opportunities for their greater freedom and intellectual development
A alteridade como tônica ética para uma cidadania ecológica: uma reflexão a partir da concepção de sujeito em Morin e Guattari
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Jurídicas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito.A sociedade contemporânea, chamada de sociedade de risco, reclama por uma ética que oriente os seres humanos no sentido da proteção e valorização da vida, uma ética movida pela alteridade, aberta às diferenças, que faça emergir uma cidadania ecológica/planetária. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho, uma dissertação de mestrado em Direito, no campo da Filosofia do Direito, objetiva refletir sobre a perspectiva de ser a alteridade a tônica ética para uma cidadania ecológica. A pesquisa utiliza-se do método complexo proposto por Morin, fazendo uso dos princípios: dialógico, recursivo e hologramático em sua elaboração. Inicia-se descrevendo a fase de transição de paradigma de conhecimento em que se encontra a sociedade contemporânea. São debatidos os movimentos filosóficos de ruptura com o pensamento moderno e o surgimento das teorias sistêmicas e de auto-organização, bem como as incompatibilidades da racionalidade moderna no trato da relação homem/natureza, especialmente no campo do Direito e da noção de justiça. As compreensões de homem, de ética e cidadania são historicamente resgatadas, e tendo por base as concepções de Sujeito e Subjetividade de Morin e Guattari, são confrontados o Sujeito solipsista individualista da modernidade, com o Sujeito pluriversal que contempla a alteridade. Tendo por premissa a ideia de que a mudança de paradigma altera a compreensão que o homem tem do mundo e de si mesmo, e que o paradigma ecológico ilustrado pelas teorias dos autores escolhidos sustentam uma nova concepção de Sujeito, a discussão volta-se à hipótese de construção de um novo tipo de cidadania. O fio condutor de toda a discussão é a ética. Sendo a ética o elemento que integra o homem aos compromissos coletivos e um conceito entrelaçado com o próprio conceito de Sujeito, a nova concepção de Sujeito sugere uma nova postura ética. Assim como a razão moderna gerou uma ética individualista o paradigma ecológico propõe uma ética altruísta, que tem por tônica a alteridade, por compreender o homem como um ser biológico e cultural em constante auto-co-elaboração com os Outros. Partindo dessa perspectiva, emergem possibilidades quanto à construção de uma cidadania ecológica/planetária e uma nova medida de justiça, um justo-ético-ecológico, pautada no propósito de preservar e estimular a Vida.Contemporary society, called the risk society, calls for an ethics to guide human beings towards the protection and enhancement of life, driven by an ethical alterity, open to differences that do emerge from an ecological/planetary citizenship. In this sense, it is, the present work, a dissertation in law, in the field of philosophy of law, whose purpose is to discuss the perspective of alterity being the ethics keynote for an ecological citizenship. The research makes use of the complex method proposed by Morin, making use of principles: dialogical, recursive and holographic in its elaboration. It begins by placing the transition of the knowledge's paradigm that is occurring in the contemporary society. Philosophical break movements with modern thinking and the emergence of systemic theories and self-organization are discussed as well as the incompatibility of the treatment by modern rationality of the relationship between man/nature, especially in the field of law and of the notion of justice. The understandings of man, ethics and citizenship are historically redeemed, and, based on the concepts of subject and subjectivity of Morin and Guattari, the solipsistic individualistic Subject of modernity is confronted with the pluriversal Subject that includes otherness. Having premised on the idea that the paradigm shift changes the understanding that man has the world and of himself, and that the ecological paradigm illustrated by the theories of the chosen authors support a new conception of the subject, the discussion turns to the hypothetical construction of a new type of citizenship. The leitmotif of the whole discussion is the ethics. As the ethical element which integrates man and collective commitments to a concept intertwined with the concept of subject, the new design of the Subject suggests a new ethical posture. Just as modern reason has generated an individualist ethics, the ecological paradigm proposes an altruistic ethics, whose tonic is the otherness, for understand the man as a biological and cultural being in permanent self-co-elaboration with the Others. From this perspective, possibilities emerge as to the construction of an ecological/planetary citizenship and a new measure of justice, a fair-ethical-ecological, based on the purpose of preserving and stimulating the life
Anthony Poole (c.1629-1692), the viol and exiled English Catholics
Full text linkThe bass violist and composer Anthony Poole was educated in the network of Catholic Colleges that the English Jesuits kept in Europe. He went on to be ordained a Jesuit priest and to make an outstanding contribution to the musical
life of the institutions he lived and taught in, notably the English College at Saint-Omer, in Spanish Flanders. Poole’s output will be shown to be of importance in the history of seventeenth-century instrumental music, especially in the context of the development of the sonata in England and division-viol music in Europe. His music has not been collected, catalogued or studied before,
and this thesis presents it against the backdrop of several generations of English musicians who spent all or part of their working lives abroad. The significance of migrant musicians is often neglected by comparison with that of native musicians, perhaps because the latter fit our perceptions of national styles better, and this thesis goes some way towards appraising that contribution.
The bass viol, or the ‘Brittanica Chelys’ in the words of the expatriate Latin poet Dr John Alban Gibbes, was an instrument with strong Catholic and Royalist resonances in England, and extemporising divisions on it became in post-Thirty-Years-War Europe a quintessentially English art, as will be shown in chapter one. Chapter two presents as full a biographical account as is possible at present, and chapter three considers all extant sources of Poole’s music, exploring how his works made their way to the exiled court at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the library of Phillip Falle, the viol-playing circle of William Noble in Oxford, and elsewhere in England. This thesis contains therefore a significant contribution to our understanding of the history of English Jesuit music, the court of James II,
and the circulation of Continental music in Restoration England. Chapter four is a stylistic discussion of the music, its influences and reception, and the appendix
consists of a thematic index of Poole’s works
O singular e o plural da política: uma abordagem teórica sobre a esfera pública multiidentitária e o ideário da democracia na sociedade global
Full text linkTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Humanas.Este trabalho se constitui num estudo teórico sobre as formações identitárias presentes nos processos de articulação política da sociedade global. Utilizamos como referência de análise o conceito de esfera pública multi-identitária, forjado para demonstrar que esta se apresenta como espaço de reconhecimento das diferenças na produção de sentido da democracia. O problema que este trabalho apresenta refere-se às mudanças sistemáticas pelo qual a esfera pública vem passando, através de novas formas de articulações da sociedade em rede, demonstradas através das mobilizações políticas no cenário da sociedade globalizada. A partir dessa problemática defendemos a tese de que a articulação comunicativa dos atores sociais tem proposto uma mudança de sentido no campo simbólico da política e essa mudança vem provocando uma nova caracterização do ideário democrático no bojo da relação local-global. Isto se fundamenta na constatação de que as relações locais e globais estão cada vez mais próximas, através da cibercultura política, da legitimidade dada aos movimentos antiglobais e da formação discursiva que os Fóruns Sociais Mundiais (FSMs) têm representado emblematicamente na luta em favor de um modelo democrático fundado no reconhecimento das diferenças. Justificamos a análise sobre as formações identitárias numa dimensão política fundamentada no atual debate teórico sobre a reestruturação da sociedade civil no processo de afirmação e reconhecimento das diferenças. Com isso, procuramos argumentar que no cenário da cultura política contemporânea, a esfera pública, em que se estruturam essas formações identitárias, não é cega às diferenças e funciona como uma caixa de ressonância comunicativa de produção de sentido da democracia, contra o discurso universalista e formal da democracia neoliberal
