Religion And Semiosphere: From Religious To The Secular And Beyond, Rajka Rush
Religion And Semiosphere: From Religious To The Secular And Beyond, Rajka Rush
Dissertations
Religion is a system of structural ideas that involve the natural ability of the mind to engage itself into the process of unlimited semiosis which can be defined as an existential openness of one's consciousness to the universe as a system.

The religious semiotic space is a sub-cultural system open to culturally and cross-culturally encoded idioms and concepts. These cultural potentials are interpreted and settled by the religious exegesis expressed in the behavioral patterns of the symbolic actions that reflect a specific worldview of the closed community controlled …
Ayatollah Khomeini And The Islamic Revolution In Iran, Dustin John Byrd
Ayatollah Khomeini And The Islamic Revolution In Iran, Dustin John Byrd
Masters Theses

It furthermore focuses on Khomeini's strategy to oppose, destabilize, and eventually overthrow the Shah of Iran through various means. This thesis is limited to the study of Khomeini as a revolutionary figure, not as a head of state, and therefore I do not examine Khomeini after the overthrow of the …

Considering The Rationality Of African Ritual Behavior, Joel Grant Mort
Considering The Rationality Of African Ritual Behavior, Joel Grant Mort
Dissertations
The traditional social scientific method undervalues the role that cognitive processes play in human behavior and instead focuses on posited external causal forces, the most common of which is 'culture.' Normative models of rationality, on the other hand, often do suggest and emphasize cognitive reasoning strategies. What is lacking is a familiarity and understanding of what human beings actually do which is, ironically, something social scientists do know something about. Both assume a sort of rational normative baseline cognitive structure and then try to discover those circumstances in which this structure is compromised by the culture, the environment, learning, and …
