The theme(s) of the Joseph story: a literary analysis
No full textSince the 1970s the application of narrative analysis to the Joseph Story has enriched
its reading. But those who apply this method to the narrative produce significantly different
results in terms of what its theme is. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the reasons for this
and to articulate as objectively as possible the theme of the Joseph Story.
Chapter One establishes the context of this investigation by evaluating the major
narrative readings of the Joseph Story. It reveals that those who apply narrative
methodologies to the story come to different conclusions about what its theme is. It notes that
the different results could be due to different narrative approaches, the literary context of the
narrative, and the complex nature of the text itself. We choose Humphreys, Longacre, and
Turner as our dialogue partners because they represent different narrative methods of reading
the Joseph Story. The reference terms `narrative criticism' and `theme' are then defined.
Chapter Two argues that the way to overcome the confusion concerning the theme (s)
of the Joseph Story is to use a methodology that addresses the limitations of the literary
approaches applied to the narrative and takes note of the wider literary context of Genesis and
the rich nature of the text. This chapter then proposes a narrative methodology of
`triangulation' that comprises plot analysis, text-linguistics and poetics.
Chapters three, four and five apply this methodology to the entire narrative in Genesis
37-50 via a detailed analysis of Genesis 37,44-45, and 49-50, the beginning, middle and end
of the narrative, respectively. The motifs that emerge from our analysis are family breakdown,
power, providence, blessing, and land. Chapter six concludes that each of these motifs is a key
concern of the Joseph Story but none by itself adequately articulates the story's theme. It is
the ecology of these motifs that enunciates the theme: God's providential work with and
through Jacob's dysfunctional family, preserving it and blessing others
Joseph Goebbels at the ND
No full textThe segment from the 1940 Český zvukový týdeník Aktualita (Czech Aktualita Sound Newsreel) No. 47 reports on the visit of Reich Minister Joseph Goebbels to Prague on 5 November 1940. At the station, he is greeted by Secretary of State of the Reich Protectorate Karl Hermann Frank, Konrad Henlein, Curt Ludwig Ehrenreich Burgsdorf and Colonel Arthur von Briessen. After a parade of the SS guard of honour, Joseph Goebbels leaves by car for Prague Castle. After being greeted at the Matthias Gate (Matyášova brána), he visits the Czernin Palace (Černínský palác) in the company of Reich Protector Konstantin von Neurath and Karl Hermann Frank, and gives a speech to the gathered cultural workers. This is followed by a Nazi party celebration in the hall of the Industrial Palace at Výstaviště, a visit to the grounds of Prague Castle and other important sights in the capital. Following that is a meeting between Goebbels, Prague Mayor Alois Říha, his deputy Josef Pfitzner and the head of state Emil Hácha. Goebbels, accompanied by president Hácha, visits the National Theatre to see a newly put on production of Prodaná nevěsta (The Bartered Bride). At the theatre he meets Karel Herman Frank, conductor Václav Talich and the director of the National Theatre, Karel Neumann
Cult: A Composite Novel
Get PDFCult (redacted)
The first component of the thesis is a composite novel called Cult which falls into two parts with seven narratives in each. Part 1 tracks the protagonist, Ellen, from her first involvement with the cult through to her eventually leaving it. Although fiction, the first half of the book answers the kinds of questions the author is asked when people discover that she was once a sannyasin (a follower of the guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh). While the experiences of meditation, group therapy and communal living are all faithfully rendered within the stories, the need for strong characters, narrative drive and a lightness of touch takes precedence.
Part 2 picks up Ellen’s story some twenty or so years later and explores what becomes of her in middle age. It also looks at other groups in society, such as academia, the law and the internet dating community which each have their own jargon, hierarchies, rituals and rules but are not considered to be cults.
The book examines the question raised in the Epigraph, ‘how do we be together when we feel so alone’ with a focus on relationships other than the familial and the romantic.
Collisions, Chasms and Connections: a Performative Exploration of the Composite Novel Form
The second part of the thesis is both a critical and creative response to three contemporary American books: Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout; A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan; and Legend of a Suicide by David Vann. The critical element comprises a close reading of the three books; a chronological reconstruction of their overarching storylines; and a consideration of what their authors have said about writing the books. It concludes that, in the composite novel, the simultaneous presentation of multiple views and storylines operate much like a 3D image to give the impression of depth to the characters and situations rendered. The creative element of the essay is a playful and personal response to the texts

A review of wire arc additive manufacturing: Development, principles, process physics, implementation and current status
No full textAdditive manufacturing (AM) is now recognised as a viable alternative to processes such as casting, forging, and subtractive technologies such as machining. Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) has emerged as a cost-effective AM approach for component fabrication and a considerable body of literature on the subject has become available over the last 30 years. This review references the published work in a critical manner. It traces the development of WAAM, the principles of operation, materials considerations, process options, process physics, numerical simulation, process control, the current status and future research needs.Accepted Author ManuscriptTeam Marcel Herman
God and Nature: Retrieving Herman Bavinck's Approach to Natural Theology
No full textThis work is embargoed by the author until 06/12/2027.This dissertation offers a constructive and Christian theological account of the project of natural theology, especially by putting Herman Bavinck in dialogue with contemporary alternatives today. In its methodology, the study aims to further the recent trend in Bavinck studies of moving beyond the “two Bavincks” thesis into an integrated, consistent, and holistic approach to understanding Bavinck’s trajectory, and particularly his mature thought, by taking into account not only the Reformed Dogmatics, but also Christian Science, Christian Worldview, and Philosophy of Revelation, among others. Bavinck’s particular contribution to the doctrine of natural theology is at least threefold. First, Bavinck understands an organic unity between general and special revelation. Second, Bavinck sharply distinguishes general revelation, offering a peculiarly neo-Calvinist account of it, from the “second moment” of natural theology. Third, it will be shown, from the recent and undervalued work of Sudduth, that Bavinck holds to a distinction between the project of natural theology and specific models of natural theology. This work is distinguished especially by its attempt to curate the best of Bavinck studies along with key insights from Herman Bavinck himself all integrated into the ongoing proliferation of natural theologies today.
Natural theology functions like a bridge discipline between philosophy and theology. It must be distinguished from metaphysics, since the latter is the study of being as such while the former treats such first principles only as they find their unity in the mind and works of God. Additionally, getting natural theology right remains crucial as it forms at least one substantial part of the theoretical foundation for Christian practice in both the field of apologetics to engage non-Christians in conversation about the faith and political theology, particularly such as in appeals to natural law. In doing natural theology today, older distinctions must be retrieved to maintain biblical fidelity
