Vida y Obra del Obispo de Málaga, Beato don Manuel González García: Revisión histórica y Aproximación literaria

Esta tesis doctoral aclara algunos interrogantes de la vida y actuación en el gobierno pastoral del Prelado de la Diócesis de Málaga, don Manuel González García, preconizado como Obispo titular el 22 de abril de 1920, cargo que ocupó hasta el 5 de agosto de 1935. También realiza un estudio del Seminario de Málaga e incorpora un primer acercamiento literario a su obra escrita. La primera parte comprende la revisión histórico-biográfica. Ubica al lector en el contexto político, económico y social de la España del siglo XIX y primer tercio del XX. Es el período de tiempo que coincide con la vida del Prelado, quien vivió a caballo entre el último tercio del primero y murió en el primer tercio del segundo. Luego realiza una aproximación al contexto político, económico y social de España del siglo XIX. Durante el reinado de Alfonso XIII estudia la compleja situación política con el sistema del ¿turnismo¿, entre los partidos liberales y conservadores, la Dictadura de Primo de Rivera y la Proclamación de la II República y analiza el papel de la Iglesia ante la II República. Del ámbito nacional pasa al local, describiendo la situación económica, política y social en Málaga, que es el centro de acción de la labor apostólica de don Manuel, como representante máximo de la Iglesia malagueña. Una vez realizada una exposición del marco histórico, se adentra en la figura principal del estudio, primero como Arcipreste de Huelva; segundo, como Obispo de Málaga; y tercero, como Obispo de Palencia. Da respuesta a lagunas históricas que ensombrecen el perfil moral de don Manuel González, criticado por abandonar la Diócesis en el año de 1931, cuando la Iglesia de Málaga vivía uno de sus peores momentos. Con documentación inédita hasta el presente (cartas, material hemerográfico y testimonios orales) analiza el comportamiento y la voluntad para regresar a la Diócesis y aclara las razones por las cuales permaneció en el exilio. También examina la reacción de su clero ante los sucesos ocurridos, desde su salida de Málaga, su nombramiento como Obispo de Palencia y hasta su muerte. La segunda parte consiste en un estudio filosófico sobre la simbología en el Seminario malacitano y otro léxico-semántico sobre tres símbolos en la obra escrita. Revela dos facetas de su persona: la del pensador de la obra cumbre y la del escritor. Ambas partes descubren la sensibilidad artística de su época. La primera pone de manifiesto la amplitud de la cultura religiosa y secular del pensador y artista, que comunica a través de espacios arquitectónicos y representaciones visuales la esencia de su carisma personal, contenidos teológicos, filosóficos y morales. Subraya la dedicación del hombre comprometido con su Diócesis, sus seminaristas y su pueblo. La segunda parte realiza una valoración de su lenguaje desde un nuevo paradigma teórico, en este caso el de la relación entre la experiencia mística y el lenguaje. Considera la cuestión del proceso de redacción, desde la experiencia de Palomares del Río hasta la redacción del suceso, y toma como ejemplo tres palabras de alto contenido semántico (puerta, mirada y corazón), frecuentes en otros contextos a lo largo de toda su obra. Infravalorado durante mucho tiempo, fue considerado como lenguaje piadoso, típico de una expresividad propia de su tiempo. Dirigido no a una élite, sino a un destinatario popular, el estudio léxico-semántico con que termina el trabajo revela que el lenguaje en prosa contiene palabras con alto contenido simbólico. Su capacidad para expresar misterios profundos a través del lenguaje sencillo, asequible al pueblo, pone de manifiesto otra faceta del hombre: en este caso el compromiso con su pueblo.

Don't sell social science short

The News of the Week article that reports on Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) questioning the need to fund social science research at the National Science Foundation is alarming and shortsighted ("Senate panel chair asks why NSF funds social sciences," 12 May, p. 829). Social science research is at the fundamental core of basic research and has much to contribute to the economic viability of the United States. Twenty years of direct and jointly funded social and ecosystem science research at Colorado State University's Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory has produced deep insights into environmental and societal impacts of political upheaval, land use, and climate change in parts of Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Beyond greatly advancing our understanding of the coupled human-environmental system, the partnership of social and ecosystem science has brought scientists and decision-makers together to begin to develop solutions to difficult problems.

'Live your liberation - don't lobby for it' : Australian queer student activists' perspectives of same-sex marriage

One topic covered in Australian queer university student print media is the legalization of same-sex marriage. The legalization of same-sex marriage is currently generating much debate in Western queer communities. This paper explores Australian queer university student activists’ media representation of same-sex marriage, and the debates surrounding its legalization. It uses discourse analysis to examine a selection of queer student media from four metropolitan Australian universities, and the 2003 and 2004 editions of the national queer student publication Querelle. This paper thus contributes to the history of queer activism, documenting what one group of young people say about the legalization of same-sex marriage, and furthers research on queer perspectives of marriage and same-sex relationships.

In their own words: Why teenagers don't use social networking sites

We explored common reasons for non-use of the rapidly growing popularity of social networking sites among a sample of Australian adolescents (N = 69). Transcripts were coded by grouping responses along similar themes for non-use that had been commonly stated by participants. The primary reasons offered by adolescents were: lack of motivation, poor use of time, preference for other forms of communication, preference for engaging in other activities, cybersafety concerns, and a dislike of self-presentation online. The identification of these themes allows for a greater understanding of teenagers' decisions not to engage in the popular medium of communication and points to possible strategies that could be utilised by Web site developers in efforts to appeal to a wider teenage audience.

Nonprofits and the GST : don't sign anything until you've read the fine print, (if you can find it to read!)

On 13 August, 1997 Prime Minister Mr Howard announced five principles as a foundation for a Tax Reform Package to revitalise the Australian economy. They were that: 1. there should be no overall increase in the overall tax burden; 2. any new taxation system should involve major reductions in personal income tax with special regard to the taxation treatment of families; 3. consideration should be given to a broad-based indirect tax to replace some or all of the existing indirect taxes; 4. there would be appropriate compensation for those deserving of special consideration; and 5. reform of Commonwealth-State financial relations must be addressed...

Don's Party and the AV Jennings type 15 home

Australian housing underwent a watershed when 1960s mass-produced houses slowly started subscribing to a new aesthetic of continuous living spaces, known as the ‘open plan’ home. This created a new landscape for Australian playwrights to observe and explore in their work when representing domesticity on the stage. Instead of representing a single room of the house on the stage, plays such as ‘Don’s Party’, started to work with a number of openly connected spaces bound by doorways to private sections of the house or to specific outdoor areas. In representing this dialectic between interior and the exterior, private and public spaces in the home, the continuous spaces of the AV Jennings house in ‘Don’s Party’ acted to blur these conditions creating an outer interior. These connected spaces became the place for an outward performance on the family’s interiority, while simultaneously presenting a boundary to an inner interior in the offstage spaces of the home. This paper focuses on the play 'Don's Party' by David Williamson and how the spatial arrangements of the AV Jennings home, in which it was set, influenced the playwright. The research includes a textual analysis of the play, biographical research and interviews with the playwright alongside an analysis of the spatial arrangements of AV Jennings houses.

Show me the magic : the adventures of Don McAlpine

Synopsis Show Me The Magic takes us on an enthralling and joyful journey into the life and work of the legendary and world-renowned Australian cinematographer, Don McAlpine. A country kid from the small wheat-belt town of Quandialla in isolated south-western New South Wales, Australia, McAlpine was born in 1934 - the year before the first technicolour film was released. There wasn’t even a cinema in Quandialla. Don helped his mother support their family from the age of 14, when his father was stricken by tuberculosis. His part-time job at the Temora chemist as a darkroom photo developer struck a chord in young Don's soul. Soon, a school performance of The Mikado ignited in him the desire to entertain an audience. His fascination with the magical images emerging from his darkroom set him on the winding path that would eventually lead to the glittering lights of Hollywood, where, in 2009, he received the American Society of Cinematographers’ “International Cinematographer of the Year” Award in front of the foremost luminaries of the American film industry. That same year, Don shot his 50th film, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a big-budget, effects-driven action movie directed by Oscar-winner Gavin Hood and starring Hugh Jackman. Show Me the Magic takes us on set and behind the scenes of that film. In 2011, Don posted another landmark: Mental, a low budget movie directed by PJ Hogan (Muriel’s Wedding, My Best Friend’s Wedding, Peter Pan). Mental was Don’s first digital film and his first Australian film in 25 years. As we travel with Don back into his past, and into the Australian outback landscape that he loves so much, we experience the extremes of movie making: embedded alongside him on the contrasting sets of Wolverine and Mental, we peel back the layers of what Don calls ‘the beautiful deception' of cinema to illuminate the world behind the screen. Joined by celebrated Australian directors Bruce Beresford and Gillian Armstrong, we explore the heritage of the remarkable Australian films that Don photographed, including the iconic Breaker Morant and My Brilliant Career. In Los Angeles, Don reconnects with Paul Mazursky who gave him his big break in Hollywood with Tempest and followed up with Down and Out in Beverly Hills. And two Australians of a later generation - Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin - take us behind the scenes on Don’s spectacular creative achievements – Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge! At once the story of a remarkable man and an exploration of filmmaking at the highest level, Show Me The Magic will engage and entrance anyone who has ever been touched by the magic of movies. - See more at: http://www.showmethemagic.com.au/film.htm#synopsis" This film is dedicated to the memory of South African film-maker Peter Henkel, 1924 - 1992.
