Cultivating Virtue: A Thomistic Perspective On The Relationship Between Moral Motivation And Skill, Ashley Potts Oct 2020

Cultivating Virtue: A Thomistic Perspective On The Relationship Between Moral Motivation And Skill, Ashley Potts

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Over the past twenty years, virtue ethics has seen a resurgence of interest in understanding how virtues are cultivated. Philosophers are now teaming up with psychologists to better understand how psychological research on skills can inform us about the relevant kinds of skills that aid in cultivating virtue. However, this promising line of research rests on a heavily-debated philosophical foundation. To what extent are the moral virtues like and/or cultivated by certain kinds of skills? One group of scholars, referred to as the “proponents of the moral motivation objection,” argue that the moral virtues are motivational dispositions that skills not …

Angry White Men On Campus: Theoretical Perspectives And Recommended Responses, Kyle C. Ashlee, Pietro A. Sasso, Christina Witkowicki Oct 2020

Angry White Men On Campus: Theoretical Perspectives And Recommended Responses, Kyle C. Ashlee, Pietro A. Sasso, Christina Witkowicki

Journal of Critical Scholarship on Higher Education and Student Affairs

In this article, the authors explore a rise in violent protest among white college men, theoretical interpretations of this trend, and recommendations that student affairs educators can implement to address the harmful acts of white male on campus. By examining hegemonic masculinity, the theory of dispossession, anomic protest masculinity, and white men’s disengagement in college, student affairs professionals can begin to understand the larger contemporary trend of student activism among white college men. Moreover, evaluating common strategies for engaging college men, including behavior-only approaches, bad-dogging accountability practices, and white privilege pedagogy, educators can gain perspective on how current responses in …

The Virtues Of Being Human: Faith, Hope, And Love In James Gray's The Immigrant (2013), The Lost City Of Z (2016), And Ad Astra (2019), John Adair Oct 2020

The Virtues Of Being Human: Faith, Hope, And Love In James Gray's The Immigrant (2013), The Lost City Of Z (2016), And Ad Astra (2019), John Adair

Journal of Religion & Film

James Gray’s three most recent features reflect on the Christian virtues of faith, hope, and love, revealed and developed through encounters with others. The Immigrant (2013) reveals the way faith informs familial commitments, social bonds, and a life-giving response to suffering and injustice. The Lost City of Z (2016) portrays a dreamer, a man whose hopeful vision of another world animates every aspect of his being. And Gray’s most recent feature, Ad Astra (2019) traces a man’s turn toward relationship as he discovers what it means to love. In each case, as Gray’s characters display these virtues, the characters transcend …

Consuming Bollywood, Anjali Gera Roy Oct 2020

Consuming Bollywood, Anjali Gera Roy

Journal of Religion & Film

Hindi popular cinema, marked with sartorial, visual and material excess, has paradoxically portrayed acquisition of wealth or unregulated consumption as inimical to the Chaturvarga philosophy, or the idea that an individual should seek four goods – Artha (wealth), Kama (pleasure), Dharma (duty) and Moksha (renunciation) - in moderation in order to lead a balanced life. While its visual imagery is largely oriented towards Artha or pleasure, Dharma, in its meaning as duty, has been the prime motivation of Hindi or Bombay cinema’s characters and structures the cinematic conflict and action. However, Hindi cinema appears to have undergone a phase-shift in …

The Monstrous Other And The Biblical Narrative Of Ruth, Jonathan Lyonhart, Jennifer Matheny Oct 2020

The Monstrous Other And The Biblical Narrative Of Ruth, Jonathan Lyonhart, Jennifer Matheny

Journal of Religion & Film

Guillermo Del Toro’s The Shape of Water (2017) restages the biblical narrative of Ruth in Cold War America, crystallizing the parallel through setting numerous scenes at a local cinema that is playing The Story of Ruth (1960). The book of Ruth tells the tale of how a non-Israelite outsider could be welcomed into the kingdom of God and ultimately into the lineage of Christ. Likewise, del Toro populates his tale with multiple outsiders—multiple ‘Ruths’—including a mute woman, an African American cleaner, a Russian Communist, and an elderly homosexual male. However, these are merely reflections of the ultimate outsider, Del Toro’s …

Islam, Immigrants, And The Angry Young Man: Laurent Cantet And The “Limits Of Fabricated Realism”, Elizabeth Toohey Oct 2020

Islam, Immigrants, And The Angry Young Man: Laurent Cantet And The “Limits Of Fabricated Realism”, Elizabeth Toohey

Journal of Religion & Film

My paper juxtaposes Laurent Cantet’s films The Class (2008) and The Workshop (2017) to explore how they are infused with concerns about radical Islam and the place of Muslim immigrants in the West. Both films center on "angry young men" facing class-based marginalization, who are prone to anti-social behavior. In The Workshop, however, a great effort is made to reveal the intellectual potential and moral complexity of the young white French-born Antoine, whose alienation is defined by his attraction to the xenophobic and Islamophobic rhetoric of the Far Right, whereas viewers of The Class are kept at arm’s length …

Corruption As Shared Culpability: Religion, Family, And Society In Andrey Zvyagintsev's Leviathan (2014), Maria Hristova Oct 2020

Corruption As Shared Culpability: Religion, Family, And Society In Andrey Zvyagintsev's Leviathan (2014), Maria Hristova

Journal of Religion & Film

This article engages in close analysis of how Andrey Zvyagintsev depicts corruption and its various manifestations: moral, familial, societal, and institutional, in Leviathan (Leviafan, 2014). While other post-Soviet films address the problem of prevalent corruption in Russia, Zvyagintsev’s work is the first to provoke strong public reactions, not only from government and Russian Orthodox Church officials, but also from Orthodox and political activist groups. The film demonstrates that the instances of legal and moral failings in one aspect of existence are a sign of a much deeper and wider-ranging problem that affects all other spheres of human experience. …

Didactisation Du Texte Littéraire Selon L’Approche Actionnelle:Application Au Contexte Universtaire Libanais, Franceline Daher Oct 2020

Didactisation Du Texte Littéraire Selon L’Approche Actionnelle:Application Au Contexte Universtaire Libanais, Franceline Daher

Al Jinan الجنان

Notre volonté d’intégrer le texte littéraire dans les cours universitaires de français langue étrangère a permis de le didactiser selon la perspective actionnelle. Pour ce faire, nous avons élaboré un modèle didactique basé sur l’étude du roman » L’école de la guerre » d’Alexandre Najjar, un écrivain libanais d’expression française. Plusieurs activités langagières et artistiques ont été présentées avec succès par les étudiants dans le cadre d’une manifestation culturelle. Les résultats positifs de l’évaluation de ce projet montrent les prémisses d’un changement de représentation du texte littéraire.

L’Écriture De L’Inconscient Dans Les Désaxés(2004) Et Not Tobe(1991) Chez Christine Angot, Rana Faysal

Al Jinan الجنان

Cette étude consacrée à l’oeuvre de Christine Angot prend appui sur des questions renvoyant à un problème qui se partage l’espace littéraire : l’écriture de l’inconscient. Nous nousproposons d’aborder cette question à la lumière de la psychanalyse. Il s’agira moins d’étudier l’univers romanesque de l’auteur dans Les Désaxés et Not To Be, que d’éclairer, à travers la lecture de ces récits, certains problèmes relevant de la lecture psychanalytique en général

L’Image De L'Univers Dans La Langue Etude Épistémologique, Ahmad Safar Oct 2020

L’Image De L'Univers Dans La Langue Etude Épistémologique, Ahmad Safar

Al Jinan الجنان

La langue a toujours fait l’objet d’une réflexion chez l’Homme depuis que ce dernier s’est rendu compte de son existence. La nature de cette réflexion fut philosophique, esthétique ou linguistique. Dès que l’Homme a pris conscience de la langue qu’il parle, aussi bien dans sa pensée que dans l›existence de la langue en tant qu›entité distincte, il a exclue l›idée du hasard de son analyse linguistique et historique. A. Roman souligne que toute langue humaine naturelle »apparaît dans l’histoire comme une entité constituée déjà par un usage immémorial, et tendant à exclure le hasard »A partir de là, la relation …

معنى الكلمة وحدودها بين الرازي وأولمان, Abd Alraouf Kharyoush Oct 2020

معنى الكلمة وحدودها بين الرازي وأولمان, Abd Alraouf Kharyoush

Al Jinan الجنان

إن اختلاف الأوزان الصرفية للكلمات يقتضي بالضرورة اختلاف في معانيها، وعليه فإنه من الصعوبة وضع حدود فاصلة للكلمة؛ لان الكلمات ليست على وزن واحد،إضافة إلى أن لكل باحث منهجا فكريا يختلف به عن الآخر، مما يؤدي إلى اختلاف واضح في تحديد ماهية الكلمة عند المفكرين اللغويين قدماء ومحدثين، وفي هذا البحث يحاول الباحث أن يحدد القواسم المشتركة بين مفكرين تناولا مفهوم الكلمة من منظورين مختلفين: الأول الرازي الذي انطلق من مفاهيم لغوية عربية ترتبط بالمعاني الدلالية، من خلال كتابه " التفسير الكبير"؛ والثاني " أولمان" الذي تناوله في كتابه " دور الكلمة في اللغة" دور الكلمة من مختلف جوانبها

لايخلو عصر من العصور من ظواهر اجتماعية واقتصادية وحوادث نازلة ومستجدة وطارئة يكون لها الأثر القوي في سلوك أفراد المجتمع، وتجعل الفقيه ينظر لبعض الأحكام الشرعية هل يفتي بها على الأصل ، أو أن ما حدث يُبيح تغيّر الفتوى بما يحقق قواعد الشريعة، ومراعاة مقاصدها،فينقل السائل من الحكم الأصلي إلى حكم جديد مع مراعاة ما تقدم. فقد عقد ابنُ القيم رحمه الله فصلا بعنوان :"تغيّر الفتوى واختلافها بحسب تغير الأزمنة والأمكنة والأحوال والنيات والعوائد".وقد تغيرت أوضاع كثيرة داخل العالم الإسلامي وخارجه، ونال هذا التغيير النظم السياسية والتشريعية والاقتصادية والاجتماعية، بكل جوانبها تقريبا. وإن طبيعة الفقه الإسلامي التغير والتطور والثبات والتجدد.وإن …

Dans la continuité de la réflexion sur le lien entre la théorie et la pratique au niveau des mémoires professionnels en master, la présente étude a pour objectif d’amoindrir et si possible d’éliminer le hiatus existant entre ces deux pôles en élaborant un modèle didactique. L’objectif est de donner des pistes aux étudiants pour leur permettre d’agréger le savoir théorique au savoir-faire au niveau de leurs écrits. Une mise en place d’activités pratiques, adoptant le concept de l’alternance ou ce que nous appelons » effet miroir », permettrait de montrer comment pragmatiquement, il est possible de réinvestir la théorie dans …

The Lack Of Fire Safety Knowledge And Implementation The Case Of High-Rise Buildings, Mohamad Abou Chakra

Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)

High-rise buildings are growing rapidly in number around the world. They are becoming important landmarks that mark out certain geographical areas.

The paper, at first, summarizes the characteristics of high-rise buildings and fires, the unique features of Tall Buildings and the special life safety requirements for the high-rise buildings.
