CONFLITO GERACIONAL E A IDENTIDADE DOS JOVENS ADVENTISTAS DO SÉTIMO DIA: NEGAÇÃO OU RECONSTRUÇÃO DA IDENTIDADE ADVENTISTA POR PARTE DOS JOVENS

Este presente trabalho, tem por objetivo analisar o conflito geracional e a formação da identidade dos jovens adventistas, com o objetivo de verificar se o conflito geracional é uma demonstração que os jovens estão rompendo com a igreja ou, reconstruindo a identidade. O conflito geracional pode ser notado em diversas esferas da sociedade e inclusive dentro da Igreja Adventista. Todavia, o conflito geracional não é causado por rebeldia, mas sim, por diferentes maneiras de reagir e conviver com as características contemporâneas da sociedade. Sendo assim, os mais velhos não concordam com as novas propostas dos jovens e tão pouco, os mais novos desejam continuar convivendo com as coisas antigas. A Igreja Adventista tem vivido o conflito geracional em dois aspectos principais: o primeiro se evidencia na comunicação; o segundo na cosmovisão. A linguagem sofreu alterações na hora de se comunicar; no contexto atual, a imagem tomou a função das palavras. Por essa razão, uma comunicação pode não alcançar seu objetivo, principalmente aos mais novos, quando expressa somente através de palavras. O outro aspecto que tem causado conflito é a compreensão de mundo que os mais novos possuem. Para eles, o mundo não é sinônimo de pecado como algumas pessoas mais velhas entendem. Por conta desta diferença, certas questões não são aceitáveis dentro da igreja, por serem vinculadas ao mundo e o mundo ser entendido como pecado. Porém, a constatação que faço é que, embora o jovem não entenda o mundo em si como pecado, ele compreende que existem aspectos do mundo que sejam errados. Esses aspectos não são aceitáveis para eles e por isso, eles não desejam romper com a igreja. Mas estão em busca de mudanças significativas que se encaixam com sua visão de mundo. É possível evidenciar essa mesma linha de raciocínio em alguns líderes da igreja, mas os relatos dos jovens expressam que isso não alcançou a prática local. Uma vez que, concebo o pensamento de Hervieu-Leger de que a identidade não é transmitida intacta de pai para filho, mas construída individualmente. Entendo que os jovens estão formando sua própria identidade. Para que essa identidade seja formada de maneira sólida nos princípios adventistas, e aberta as mudanças necessárias da sociedade, se faz necessário, sob minha percepção, uma releitura de Ellen White baseada no pensamento liminar de Walter Mignolo, apresentado e explanado por Adolfo S. Suárez.

EDUCAÇÃO E CONTROLE SOCIAL NA PRIMEIRA DÉCADA REPUBLICANA

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo o estudo da rebeldia negra nos anos antecedentes a escravidão e suas conseqüências, tanto social como educacional. O fato da Província de São Paulo ter se tornado uma grande exportadora de café fez dela um forte centro escravocrata. Não se pode negar a influência de quatro séculos de escravidão, nem tão pouco seus efeitos sobre a nação. Em 13 de maio de 1888 fora decretada a abolição, e esta medida lançou nas ruas uma multidão de negros livres sem qualquer perspectiva de futuro. Não foram preparados para viver em liberdade, a sociedade não estava organizada para recebê-los como trabalhadores livres e pagar por seu trabalho. Ao olhar de muitos eram tidos como preguiçosos, vadios e desordeiros. Nunca foram tratados como iguais, mas sim como uma raça medíocre e inferior, onde a imoralidade e os excessos chegam a um ponto irreversível, caso não sejam controlados. Diante dessa situação, fazia-se necessário traçar planos para conter os excessos e o furor da grande massa de libertos soltos pelas ruas, torna-se de extrema urgência a utilização de meios diversos a fim de manter o controle social, inculcando na mente da população negra os malefícios causados pelas revoltas, o dever de trabalhar, o abandono dos vícios. Para tanto, os intelectuais, políticos e os grandes exportadores (que representavam o poder econômico da época), passam a utilizar-se de diversos meios para propagação dos valores republicanos, jornais, conferências políticas, boletins e também o sistema educacional. Por meios de livros de leitura, artigos em revistas educacionais, adição de novas disciplinas no currículo escolar e até mesmo a ação do professor em sala de aula visavam a docilização dos costumes do povo. Os republicanos que assumiram o poder político do país não estavam apenas preocupados em educar os poucos que tinham acesso à escolarização, mas também, através do exemplo, educar e acalmar os ânimos dos negros vadios e preguiçosos que não podiam freqüentar a escola. Daí resulta tamanha preocupação com o estabelecimento de regras, organização, respeito e punições no ambiente escolar recém reestruturado (AU)

Essays on international macroeconomics and conflict analysis

This dissertation addressed two broad problems in international macroeconomics and conflict analysis. The first problem in the first chapter looked at the behavior of exchange rate and its interaction with industry-level tradable goods prices for three countries, USA, UK and Japan. This question has important monetary policy implications. Here, I computed to what extent changes in exchange rate affected prices of consumer, producer, and export goods. I also studied the timing of these changes in these prices. My results, based on thirty-four industrial prices for USA, UK and Japan, supported the view that changes in exchange rates significantly affect prices of industrial and consumer goods. It also provided an insight to the underlying economic process that led to changes in relative prices. ^ In the second chapter, I explored the predictability of future inflation by incorporating shocks to exchange rates and clearly specified the transmission mechanisms that link exchange rates to industry-level consumer and producer prices. Employing a variety of linear and state-of-the-art nonlinear models, I also predicted growth rates of future prices. Comparing levels of inflation obtained from the above approaches showed superiority of the structural model incorporating the exchange rate pass-through effect. ^ The second broad issue addressed in the third chapter of the dissertation investigated the economic motives for conflict, manifested by rebellion and civil war for seventeen Latin American countries. Based on the analytical framework of Garfinkel, Skaperdas and Syropoulos (2004), I employed ordinal regressions and Markov switching for a panel of seventeen countries to identify trade and openness factors responsible for conflict occurrence and intensity. The results suggested that increased trade openness reduced high intensity domestic conflicts but overdependence on agricultural exports, along with a lack of income earning opportunities lead to more conflicts. Thereafter, using the Cox Proportional Hazard model I studied “conflict duration” and found that over-reliance on agricultural exports explained a major part of the length of conflicts in addition to various socio-political factors. ^

"To hold the world in contempt": The British Empire, war, and the Irish and Indian nationalist press, 1899–1914

The era between the close of the nineteenth century and the onset of the First World War witnessed a marked increase in radical agitation among Indian and Irish nationalists. The most outspoken political leaders of the day founded a series of widely circulated newspapers in India and Ireland, placing these editors in the enviable position of both reporting and creating the news. Nationalist journalists were in the vanguard of those pressing vocally for an independent India and Ireland, and together constituted an increasingly problematic contingent for the British Empire. The advanced-nationalist press in Ireland and the nationalist press in India took the lead in facilitating the exchange of provocative ideas--raising awareness of perceived imperial injustices, offering strategic advice, and cementing international solidarity. Irish and Indian press coverage of Britain's imperial wars constituted one of the premier weapons in the nationalists' arsenal, permitting them to build support for their ideology and forward their agenda in a manner both rapid and definitive. Directing their readers' attention to conflicts overseas proved instructive in how the Empire dealt with those who resisted its policies, and also showcased how it conducted its affairs with its allies. As such, critical press coverage of the Boxer Rebellion, Boer War, Russo-Japanese War, and World War I bred disaffection for the Empire, while attempts by the Empire to suppress the critiques further alienated the public. This dissertation offers the first comparative analysis of the major nationalist press organs in India and Ireland, using the prism of war to illustrate the increasingly persuasive role of the press in promoting resistance to the Empire. It focuses on how the leading Indian and Irish editors not only fostered a nationalist agenda within their own countries, but also worked in concert to construct a global anti-imperialist platform. By highlighting the anti-imperial rhetoric of the nationalist press in India and Ireland and illuminating their strategies for attaining self-government, this study deepens understanding of the seeds of nationalism, making a contribution to comparative imperial scholarship, and demonstrating the power of the media to alter imperial dynamics and effect political change.

Chords

CHORDS is a collection of diverse lyric and narrative poems. The book is primarily composed of free verse in the colloquial tradition of James Wright. CHORDS employs the Romantic device of a strong narrative "I," and utilizes four thematic sections, each named after a specific musical chord, which correspond to four periods in the narrator's life. Section one, "Suspended," follows the young narrator through a tumultuous childhood, underscored by family loss and the disruption of a move from Miami to rural Kentucky; section two, "Diminished," details his adolescence and young adulthood, a period of rebellion and confusion; section three, "Augmented," finds the adult narrator contemplating several life-changing events-marriage, the break-up of his rock and roll band, and the dedication of his life to Christ; finally, in "Resolved," the narrator comes to accept the complexities of his life, and to build, from its dissonant notes, a final chord of resolution.

Once a Catholic : a novel in stories and poems

"Once A Catholic" is a novel about the indelible effects of growing up Catholic. The novel is told in a series of stories and poems. The first story, "Credo," offers an overview of the rich culture of Catholicism that binds the Daley family together. "Before The Fall" recalls the safety and warmth of that Catholic faith. Subsequent stories focus on individual family members and events, and the Catholicity that lies at their core. "Holy Orders" tells the story the firstborn male child whose destination is the priesthood. "Finding Ecstasy" is a daughter's story of rebellion through sexual exploration. "Sweet Reconciliation" is the story of a search within oneself for forgiveness, the cornerstone of Catholic upbringing. "Acts of the Apostle" demonstrates the hopelessness of a faith under attack. The final story, "Holy Relics," demonstrates the never-ending desire for redemption and the important act of returning sacredness to its rightful place.

Rightful Resistance in the Colombian conflict. A theoretical reflection based on a Peace Community

This article considers the opportunities of civilians to peacefully resist violent conflicts or civil wars. The argument developed here is based on a field-based research on the peace community San José de Apartadó in Colombia. The analytical and theoretical framework, which delimits the use of the term ‘resistance’ in this article, builds on the conceptual considerations of Hollander and Einwohner (2004) and on the theoretical concept of ‘rightful resistance’ developed by O’Brien (1996). Beginning with a conflict-analytical classification of the case study, we will describe the long-term socio-historical processes and the organizational experiences of the civilian population, which favoured the emergence of this resistance initiative. The analytical approach to the dimensions and aims of the resistance of this peace community leads to the differentiation of O`Brian’s concept of ‘rightful resistance’.

BodyArt-X- "Einkörperung" und "Entkörperung" als ästhetische Prinzipien postmoderner Grenzgänge

Der Körper in der Kunst ist grundsätzlich eine Darstellung der Rebellion. Die Body-Art der 1990er unterscheidet sich in ihren spezifischen Erscheinungsformen deutlich von der Happening- und Performancekunst ihrer Vorläuferbewegung in den siebziger Jahren (Manifest Body Art 1974, François Pluchart 1937-1988). Mit dem Titel BodyArt-X- erfolgt ein Hinweis auf die Betrachtung einer abgrenzbaren Künstlergeneration, die in ihren zwiespältigen Selbstkonstruktionen die zunehmenden medialen Einflüsse dokumentiert. Im Mittelpunkt der wissenschaftlichen Analyse steht die Körperkunst der neunziger Jahre und deren eigene ästhetische Formensprache. Die Polymorphie der permanenten Umgestaltung wird mit der unbekannten Variable –X- im Titel zum Ausdruck gebracht. Die wissenschaftliche Grundlage bilden die Negation und die beginnende Entmaterialisierung innerhalb der Moderne und Postmoderne.
