L'Evolution Du PèRe Dans Le Drame Bourgeois RéAliste : Diderot, Sedaine, Augier, Cecile Etiennette Noble

Master's Theses

Dane les pieces classiques du XVIIe siecle les acteurs ne sont pas inscrits a l'affiche dans leur ordre d'entree en scene mais par le role hierarchique dont ils etaient l'interprete. En d'autres termes, les rois, les empereurs et les grands personnages occupent la premiere place dans la distribution; puis viennent les heros, les parents et les confidents. Ainsi nous sommes temoins de l'infiltration des us dans les moindres gestes de la societe.

Suivant la tradition antique, le heres etait presque toujours jeune, beau, malheureux et devait se heurter a des obstacles sans quoi l'intrigue aurait peri. Cet obstacle prenait bien …

Master's Theses

The Concept Of Judgment In Pastoral Counseling, Alvin Bruenger

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This is the problem that has occasioned this study. Is there a place for a concept of judgment in pastoral counseling? If so, in what sense? Specifically, is there a place in pastoral counseling for a concept of judgment in Seward Hiltner's "ordinary sense," that is, imposed from outside? If there is, what is its place? This study is particularly concerned with the approach of the Lutheran pastor, who attempts to counsel within the context of the Lutheran understanding of Law and Gospel. The initial interest in this subject was sparked through discussions with Lutheran pastors in which it became …

The History Of The Sabbath In Mormonism, Russel J. Thomsen

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

This study is a historical approach to the doctrine of the Sabbath in Mormonism. As such it is concerned with the first day Sabbath which has been observed with rare exception since the founding of Mormonism. The study also investigates the interest which has existed throughout the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the seventh day Sabbath. It is found that the Latter-day Saints' interest in the seventh day Sabbath has had significant influence in their development of a Sabbath theology, and in finding defenses for their observance of the first day of the week, …

The Plight Of Man: A Study In Contemporary Preaching, Lary Misner

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This study comprises an examination of sermonic material for clues to the plight of man. Initially the research involves an assessment of the signs of man's plight and places these signs into significant categories of man's existence. After locating and classifying the plight of man, the analysis shifts to the meaning of the plight of man in all of the plight's dimensions. After summarizing various aspects of man's plight and its meaning, the analysis moves to detect the implications of plight and meaning for man and for the preaching task. Finally, several areas for further study are suggested on the …

The Fall Of PeróN, Earl D. Souligny

Latin American Studies ETDs

The revolt which overthrew Perón exceeded the scope of an ordinary military coup so common in Latin America; it brought an end to an important era in Argentine history. Perón’s government had, for the first time in Argentine history, attempted to give to the masses the social legislation which had become common in the more developed countries. He had based his government on the country's military, religious, and labor institutions. Of these three, Perón succeeded in alienating the first two and had serious disagreements with the latter. By aiding and cooperating with the opposition, the Church and military influentially precipitated …

Aspen Conversations, Richard Lee Van Der Voort

English Language and Literature ETDs

Ultimately, it is for the reader to interpret and judge a poet's poem. And in much the same way the poet; after the impulse that produced the poem has diminished, must read as any other beholder of a public work. While in the process of composition, particularly during revision, however, the poet may be quite conscious of what he intends and the techniques he employs. But his discovery of the poem as it comes out of him, I am certain, is the larger part of the act of creation. Yet there must be some, to varying degrees, conscious control, and …

Howells' Travel Writing:Theory And Practice., Jeames L. Dean

English Language and Literature ETDs

W. D. Howell’s travel books and reviews of travel books have received limited critical attention. Yet he shows himself a fine artist and critic. Howells reviewed many travel books during his years with the Atlantic Monthly, 1866-1881, and became increasingly aware of the demands of the genre. Among the issues he discusses those treating vision, point of view, appropriate use of humor, choice of material, and the value of facts and generalizations are the most significant. The eye which sees clearly, he suggests, has no need of new and fresh material; the freshness must be within. The artist should record …

Love And Self-Realization In The Fiction Of William Dean Howells, David Lowell Frazier

English Language and Literature ETDs

This dissertation proposes that the quest for self-realization in love is an essential meaning in most of Howells' novels and that his elaboration of the theme through them makes a main interpretation of life. It suggests that the workings of the theme must be understood for appreciation of his individual works and whole accomplishment. The first chapter surveys his books to show that his prevalent story is the love story and that it usually concerns his characters' quests for fulfillment. The survey follows his development from his initial affirmation of romantic love, through his qualified acceptances and denials of it …

Samuel Johnson's Critical Principles:A Chronological Study., Shirley Ann Johnston

English Language and Literature ETDs

The Victorian dismissal of Samuel Johnson as a narrow, orthodox nee-classical critic is no longer considered valid by Johnsonians. But there is little agreement on what were Johnson's basic principles, and he often is considered inconsistent. Some of his controversial judgments are misunderstood, and his general critical position misrepresented, because distinctions are not made between his carefully weighed judgments written for publication and offhand conversational opinions handed down by Boswell and others. Moreover, Johnson's criticism commonly is represented by popular passages from select pieces of criticism, intermixed without regard for circumstances or time of composition, and sometimes taken from context. …

The Christian Democratic Movement In Nicaragua, Thomas W. Walker

Latin American Studies ETDs

The major concern of the present report is the Christian Democratic movement in Nicaragua. For this reason, this paper treats such matters as Nicaraguan Christian Democratic ideology, history, and leadership, and the nature and function of the autonomous “Christian” interest-articulating organizations. The principal conclusions made in this study fall into two categories: (1) the future of the Christian Democratic movement in Nicaragua and (2) the significance and implications of the Nicaraguan case in relation to Latin American Christian Democracy in general. As regards the former, it appears that the Christian Democratic movement has become a permanent element in Nicaraguan politics. …

A Senior Honors Recital, Lynn Hoffman

Honors Theses

This paper is an examination of the pieces performed in a senior recital. A good performance cannot be given without a thorough understanding of the works being performed. Behind a finished recital lies not only hours of practice, but also hours of research and analysis.

In referring to specific measures and beats in a piece, I have used two …

Virginia Woolf:Post-Impressionist Novelist., Hershey Julien

English Language and Literature ETDs

It is the thesis of this study that Virginia Woolf' s experiments as a novelist involve to a significant degree an attempt to apply to the art of fiction the aesthetic theories of Post-Impressionism, especially as they were articulated by Roger Fry (1866-1934) in the early years of the twentieth century.

John Calvin And Music: The Rise Of Protestant Psalters In The Sixteenth Century, Tim Montgomery

John Calvin, born July 10, 1509 in the small town, Noyon, France, was the son of Gerard Calvin, who was the Apostolic Notary of the ecclesiastical court and the secretary of Bishop de Hangest.

At the age of twelve he received the tonsure and became a chaplain in the Church.

Because the bishop saw that he had a brilliant mind, he arranged for John to …

The Library Board And The Conscientious Objector: A Study In War Hysteria, Annette Martha Bartholomae

Dissertations and Theses

The Selective Service Act of 1917 made provision for the exemption of conscientious objectors belonging to certain religious bodies. It did not provide protection for the sincere individual objector against vilification from a public who labeled him disloyal, unpatriotic, and pro-Hun.

This report is based on an incident which occurred in Portland, Oregon. It involves the assistant librarian of the Library Association of Portland who was a conscientious objector, and the repercussions which her stand had on the library board, the head librarian, and the public in general.

In April of 1918, Portland had just completed a successful drive for …

Court Satire In The Dramas Of John Webster, Thomas Middleton, And John Marston, Viva Bentley Fisk

English Language and Literature ETDs

Modern historians have agreed with Seventeenth Century writers that the most significant problem of Jacobean government was the conflict of the King’s Prerogative with the commonly accepted rights of English citizens. As everyone knows, the struggle, which began during the last decade of Elizabeth’s reign was not resolved and led finally under Charles to the Civil War. Observers of the time and some modern researchers have expressed the view that the people were on the defensive, trying to protect their native rights from overreaching monarchs. Many modern historians, however, believe that the Stuart kings--without a standing army, a paid beaurocracy, …

Unamuno: Dios, Hombre, Y Existencia, Barbara Jean Kuczun

Senior Scholar Papers

El tema principal de Miguel de Unamuno es "el hombre en su integridad, que va de su nacimiento a su muerte, con su carne, su vida, su personalidad y, sobre todo, su afan de no morirse nunca eternamente." Su filosofia y su obra Iiteraria tratan los problemas que estan relacionados con le existencia o el destino del hombre. Es el hombre el punto de partida de toda su filosofia.

Intaglio Printmaking In The Secondary School, James Lester Wylder

Dissertations and Theses

There is a wealth of printed material on intaglio printmaking techniques and history, but there is relatively little printed material or work directed towards the inclusion of intaglio printmaking in the secondary school art curriculum. It is my basic assertion in this thesis that intaglio printmaking can be taught with success at the secondary level.

The thesis consists of three chapters. The first chapter is concerned with the purpose, value, and application of intaglio printmaking in a secondary school art program. The second chapter identifies the materials, the cost of materials, and the sources of supply. Chapter three deals with …

The Development Of A Clay Body With Compatible Glaze Formulae, Nancy Travers

Dissertations and Theses

There are two aims in this thesis: the first is to ascertain something of the physical and chemical properties of clay and glazes and how to handle and control them. A project such as the development of a clay body and glaze formulae serves to isolate the various functions of the materials and give a clear understanding as to their use and potentials. This enables one to visualize and manipulate materials creatively with a reliable prediction as to their behavior. Spencer Moseley in Art Education supports this, saying: "The quality of a man’s production depends upon (1) the idea, the …

Dialogical Preaching, Harold Deye

Bachelor of Divinity

Dialogue is the big word in communication today, and it is a principle that those who work in group dynamics have put to good use. It is the purpose of this paper to demonstrate that principles of dialogue--principles which have proven their value in group dynamics--are useful, indeed necessary, in preaching, if real communication is going to take place. Implicit in the concept of dialogical preaching is the understanding that preaching is not a one-way phenomenon--from pulpit to pew--but that the listener has a function and responsibility in the communication that takes place on Sunday morning, both in response to …

The Concept Of The New Age In Certain Hope Oracles Of The Old Testament, Adam Cooper

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The object of this study is to investigate some of the factors which give rise to eschatological thought in Israel. Specifically we intend to test a hypothesis presented by Georg Fohrer in an effort to determine whether eschatological thought as he defines it developed only during and after the period of the exile or whether it has deeper roots.

Liturgical Reform At Vatican Ii- A Lutheran Appraisal, Philip Stephan

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

In order to update the liturgy and the rites of worship, the Church cannot afford to assume this task of renewal in a haphazard way because she has been entrusted with the truth of the Gospel. The truths of the Gospel are the substance of the Holy Scriptures and the Eucharist, and are contained particularly in the primary liturgy of the Church. A reformation of the liturgy of the Holy Eucharist, with which this study is concerned, must retain the substance of the Gospel in the liturgy. The problem this thesis will investigate and seek to answer is: Is it …

The Origin And Meaning Of The Axiom- Nothing Has The Character Of A Sacrament Outside Of The Use, In Sixteenth-Century And Seventeenth-Century Lutheran Theology, Edward Peters

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

No one, however, has ever answered the question as to where this axiom originated, or what it means or how various Lutheran theologians have interpreted it. It is the purpose of this dissertation to try to determine where the axiom, "Nothing has the character of a Sacrament outside of the use instituted by Christ," originates and what it means to the major Lutheran theologians of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-- from the time of the Reformation until the end of the era of Lutheran Orthodoxy, approximately at the end of the seventeenth century.
