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
Critical pedagogy in hard financial times
No full textPeter Mayo takes issue with education financing not from an economic or technical
viewpoint, but from a philosophical and systemic one, drawing on critical pedagogy.
There is no sense, this article argues, to talk of higher education or its funding without
reference to the capitalist system which the mainstream education discourse reaffirms. The author concludes with an alternative vision of lifelong learning as a social act for the creation and enhancing of democratic spaces, reflected in the ongoing global “Occupy” protests for social equality.peer-reviewe

Is There Market Power in the French Comte Cheese Market?
No full textAn NEIO approach is used to measure seller market power in the French Comté cheese market, characterised by government-approved supply control. The estimation is performed on quarterly data at the wholesale stage over the period 1985-2005. Three different elasticity shifters are included in the demand specification, and the supply equation accounts for the existence of the European dairy quota policy. The market power estimate is small and statistically insignificant. Monopoly is rejected, as well as weak forms of Cournot oligopoly. Results appear to be robust to the choice of functional form, and suggest little effect of the supply control scheme on consumer prices.Supply control, NEIO, protected designation of origin, Marketing,
Narrative support for technical documents: Formalising Rhetorical Structure Theory
No full textBusiness Process Re-engineering (BPR) is an area that requires a lot of technical documents and an important feature of a well-written document is a coherent narrative. Even though computer software has helped authors in many other aspects of writing, support for document narratives is almost non-existent. Therefore, we introduce CANS (Computer-Aided Narrative Support), a tool that uses Rhetorical Structure Theory to enhance the narrative of a document. From this narrative, the tool generates questions to prompt the author for the content of the document. CANS also allows the author to explore alternative narratives for a document. A catalogue of predefined narrative structures for popular types of documents is provided too. Our tool is still in its rudimentary stages but sufficiently complete to be demonstrated
Ordini molteplici della costruzione nell'architettura di Peter Märkli
No full textL’indagine che qui si presenta ha la finalità di esplicitare le domande essenziali su cui l’opera dell’architetto svizzero Peter Märkli riflette nell’ambito del rapporto tra Architettura e Costru- zione.
I caratteri costitutivi del modus operandi di questo autore così singolare nel panorama architettonico contemporaneo sono forma ed espressione.
È sostanzialmente dal reciproco contrasto tra questi due termini durante il processo progettuale che Märkli inventa le proprie opere, distanziandosi da ogni modalità preconcetta o ideologica di concepirle. Una postura sempre aperta al costante dialogo con le pratiche dell’arte e con la storia delle forme dell’architettura, dalla quale risulta complessivamente un eclettismo creativo di difficile inquadramento ed interpretazione che si manifesta nell’adozione di linguaggi che spaziano dall’evocazione del linguaggio classico alla pura astrazione.
L’opera nel suo complesso è un contributo critico fondamentale ed una posizione estremamente radicale nel dibattito architettonico contemporaneo, avvicinando questo autore ai suoi maestri d’elezione: Le Corbusier, Sigurd Lewerentz, ma soprattutto Mies van der Rohe.
Analogamente alla riflessione maturata dal maestro tedesco, Märkli afferma che l’architettura è un antico linguaggio che ha una sua grammatica, rivendicando il suo essere primariamente Baukunst, e cioè, arte del costruire.The investigation presented here aims to clarify the essential questions on which the work of the Swiss architect Peter Märkli reflects in the context of the relationship between Architecture and Construction.
The constitutive characters of the modus operandi of this author so singular in the contemporary architectural panorama are form and expression.
It is substantially from the mutual contrast between these two terms during the design process that Märkli invents his own works, distancing himself from any preconceived or ideological way of conceiving them. A posture always open to constant dialogue with the practices of art and with the history of architectural forms, from which an overall creative eclecticism emerges that is difficult to classify and interpret, which manifests itself in the adoption of languages that range from the evocation of classical language to pure abstraction.
The work as a whole is a fundamental critical contribution and an extremely radical position in the contemporary architectural debate, bringing this author closer to his chosen masters: Le Corbusier, Sigurd Lewerentz, but above all Mies van der Rohe. Similarly to the reflection matured by the German master, Märkli states that architecture is an ancient language that has its own grammar, claiming its being primarily Baukunst, that is, the art of building

Peter Pan\u27s Shadows in the Literary Imagination (Book Review)
No full textIn Peter Pan\u27s Shadows in the Literary Imagination, Kirsten Stirling uses these shadows as a metaphor for Peter Pan\u27s influence on literature. Besides examining the shadows cast by J. M. Barrie\u27s iconic creation, Stirling also considers shadows cast upon Peter by events in Barrie\u27s life, the author\u27s previous works, and English pantomime. Chapter 1 explores the textual history of Peter Pan, tracing his origins through the privately printed photograph album The Boy Castaways of Black Lake Island (1901), the adult novel The Little White Bird (1902), the play Peter Pan (1904), the novel Peter and Wendy (1911), and the final published version of the play (1928). Because all of the texts provide conflicting origins for Peter, the character remains ambiguous, unpredictable, and complex
