THE GREEK MYTH IN AFRO-BRAZILIAN CULTURAL SPACE (STUDYING THE FILM “BLACK ORPHEUS” DIRECTED BY M. CAMUS)

The article focuses on the study of the peculiarities of interpretation of Greek myth in the Afro-Brazilian cultural space using the material of the film “Black Orpheus” directed by M. Camus, based on the play “Orfeu da Conceição” by Vinicius de Moraes. The author traces the origins of the appeal to the image of Orpheus in the works of Camus and Moraes, and reveals the connection with the French dramatic tradition and cinema. M. Camus transforms the Greek story through the prism of the culture of the Afro-Brazilian population of Rio de Janeiro — the inhabitants of the favelas. The film brings to the fore the musical component of the myth, with the help of which the originality of the Afro-Brazilian tradition and carnival practices of Latin America are revealed. Orpheus in the film appears as a tram driver, singer and leader of a samba school. His image combines the Dionysian principle (the carnival tradition into which Orpheus is “inscribed”) and the Apollonian (expressed in lyrical songs and cultural codes of bossa nova). The carnival “building” of mythological reality allows us to touch the spiritual layers of the Brazilian tradition — the syncretic cult of Candomble. The space of the Macumba ritual symbolizes the Kingdom of Hades, in which dialogue with Eurydice is carried out through musical magic that opens doors between the worlds. The passage through the Kingdom of the Dead represents a rite of passage in which the hero dies and is reincarnated in a new form: in the finale, Orpheus “transfers” his musical gift to the boy, symbolically gaining new life in him. The interpretation of the ancient Greek plot in the space of Afro-Brazilian carnival practices helps to reveal the civilizational specificity of Latin America and Orfeus as an “eternal image” that embodies the divine gift of love, the magic of music, and eternal existence through a change of forms.

Гемптон-корт палац і «тисяча днів королеви Анни».

This year marks the 500th anniversary of the coronation of Anne Boleyn as Queen of England , on 1 June 1533. In Tudor history, 7th September 1533, Queen Anne Boleyn, second wife of King Henry VIII, gave birth to Queen Elizabeth I. And this year marks the 500th anniversary of Elizabeth I’s birth. In 2022, on the March 4 marked 500 years to the day of Anne’s first recorded appearance at the English court in 1522. On September 1, 1532, Henry VIII had taken an unprecedented step: He had elevated a woman into England’s hereditary nobility. It was both a gift of love and compensation for enduring years of frustration while Henry tried to put an end to his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. The article devoted to Hampton Court Palace and Anne Boleyn the Queen of England from 1533 to 1536 as the second wife of King Henrich VIII. Anne Boleyn is called 'Anne of the Thousand Days' because Henrich VIII replaced her after roughly three years. Anne who waited seven years to marry the King was dismissed and disgraced within a third of that time. Despite ruling for just three years during the Tudor dynasty, Anne Boleyn is one of the most famous queens in British History. She played a major role in the English Reformation along with Henry VIII. The author presents the events of Tudor history before Anne Boleyn’s coronation, which will be described in the next article.

Hin und Her der Blicke, Eidola in der Pupille Augenförmiger Gemmen

The presented group of late Republican to early Imperial intagli consists of round layered stones (sardonyx, cornelian onyx) with a flat reverse side, which are strongly convex on the front side. Their horizontally stacked and differently coloured plies are sanded on the front to form concentric rings around a dark centre. The motif incised in this centre looks like an eidolon in the pupil of a 'fisheye'. Most of these motifs can be interpreted against the background of Augustan love poetry. It is possible that gems of this kind were gifts of love and, due to their striking design as an eye, also had an apotropaic function.

Liturgiczna pedagogia wiary w liścia apostolskim papieża Franciszka Desiderio desideravi

The aim of this article is to present the pedagogical dimension of the liturgy, which leads a person to a personal encounter with Christ in a liturgical celebration. The liturgy is first and foremost the work of God the Father, performed by Christ in the Holy Spirit. Hence, it is very important to see the liturgy, and especially the Eucharist, as a representation of the saving action of the Holy Trinity. The process of educating to a mature faith takes place in the liturgy and through the liturgy. In the liturgy, because it makes present God's work and God's infinite love. The liturgy is a great gift of love, which the Church has received gratuitously from God. Through the liturgy, because the entire liturgical celebration, under the cover of signs, introduces man into the mystery of God, who is love. For the liturgy to educate to a mature faith, the mystagogy is needed, that is, the explanation of liturgical signs, so that the faithful know their symbolic meaning, leading to an encounter with God. The second factor of education through the liturgy is ars celebrandi, i.e. the beauty and correctness of celebrating the liturgy and conscious involvement in it. Keywords: liturgy, education, pedagogy, faith, Eucharist, representation, mystery, mystagogy

A brief overview of safety planning in interpersonal reconstructive therapy.

Most research to date with Interpersonal Reconstructive Therapy (IRT: Benjamin, 2006) involves application with patients who qualify for the acronym "CORDS": Comorbid, Often Rehospitalized, Dysfunctional, and Suicidal. A case formulation (CF) based on interpersonal copy process theory defines links between presenting symptoms and patterns of affect, cognition, and behavior that invoke safety or threat and were learned and internalized in close relationships. The "gift of love" (GOL) hypothesis is that the wish to receive love and acceptance from specific internalized attachment figures organizes and propels problem patterns and their associated symptoms. Through a series of steps, IRT seeks to help patients become aware of and learn about their copied patterns, including where they were learned, the role they play in maintaining connection with internalized attachment figures, and their functions in the present. The goal is to help a patient differentiate from their "family in the head" and pursue healthy behaviors and self-concepts. With awareness and differentiation comes the possibility of letting go of problematic quests for love and acceptance from the internalized attachments and to choose healthy alternatives instead. As an integrative method, safety planning in IRT shares much with other approaches. What is unique is how therapists utilize the CF to guard against unsafe behavior as an ongoing part of the treatment process with patients with suicidality. This article provides an overview and illustration emphasizing these unique aspects of the IRT approach to safety planning in the context of individual psychotherapy with adults.

Human hope and the reign of God

AbstractThis article discusses the theological virtue of hope in relation to the Christian expectation of God's coming reign. Hope, as distinct from optimism and from all sorts of individualistic hopes, refers to God's gift of future. Hence, the tension between expecting God's coming reign, on the one hand, and the challenge of living constructively in the here and now, on the other hand, engages theological approaches to hope. It is argued that the divine gift of love, rather than faith, provides the main source of orientation for the Jewish and the Christian praxis of hope in this world. Faith is often understood in terms of assent to certain doctrinal definitions, while the other dimension of faith, God's offer of relationship, has moved to the background. Accepting love as guide to the Christian praxis of hope strengthens the relational nature of hope. No one can hope for herself or himself alone. The Gospels and the Pauline letters confirm the centrality of love for Christian discipleship. The article concludes with, first, a discussion of the contemporary challenge of migration; and, second, with a consideration of the connection between hope for personal fulfilment and hope for the future of the universe. Both examples point to a theology that is inspired by love and equipped to approach Christian discipleship in a spirit of hope.

Tangible Experiences of Grace: A Qualitative Investigation of Divine Grace in Roman Catholics.

According to Catholic theology, God offers a gift of love, known as divine grace, to all of humanity. This gift of divine grace is the gift of redemption and forgiveness of sins from God that is offered to everyone who decides to acknowledge and accept it. Grace is central to the lived experience of many Christians. This qualitative study examined how Catholics perceive and experience divine grace using interviews that assessed perceptions of divine grace in 29 practicing adult Catholics. A grounded theory analysis resulted in themes indicating that these Catholics view God’s divine grace as a tangible gift that is undeserved though continuously offered. The participants’ experience of God’s grace is not just an abstract theological concept but an embodied aspect of religious life with which believers can interact in many powerful ways. Three characteristics of God’s divine grace (i.e., salvific grace, cooperation through free will, primacy of conscience and the afterlife) and three mechanisms to experiencing God’s grace (i.e., sacraments, prayer and meditation, saints) are presented.

Radical Refusals and Indigenous Gifts of Love: A Conversation on Indigenous Theatre after bug

En février 2020, le collectif manidoons a exprimé le souhait que la reprise de la pièce bug, co-présentée par le Théâtre Passe Muraille et la compagnie Native Earth Performing Arts, soit critiquée uniquement par des personnes autochtones, noires ou de couleur (PANDC). bug est un spectacle solo écrit et interprété par l’artiste sud-asiatique et ojibwée Yolanda Bonnell, mis en scène par l’artiste métis Cole Alvis et créé par le collectif manidoons. La décision du collectif a suscité une polémique importante. Le 27 avril 2020, Cole Alvis, Yolanda Bonnell, la dramaturge et metteure en scène Kim Senklip Harvey (Syilx, Tsilhqot’in, Ktunaxa et Dakelh) et la chercheure et conseillère dramaturgique Lindsay Lachance (Algonquine anishinaabe) ont participé à une discussion en ligne animée et documentée par Sheetala Bhat, doctorante à la Western University, sur les pratiques théâtrales autochtones, les attentes du grand public en ce qui concerne la critique des œuvres théâtrales, les approches décoloniales et autres à l’acte d’assister à une pièce de théâtre autochtone et d’y réagir. Les personnes ont également abordé d’autres préoccupations qui touchent les PANDC qui font du théâtre.

The Case of Sharon Considered from the Vantage Point of Interpersonal Reconstructive Therapy

In Interpersonal Reconstructive Therapy (IRT: Benjamin, 2003/2006; 2018) a case formulation is used to tailor interventions to each patient’s unique patterns. Using the IRT lens, psychopathology is understood as reflecting attempts to adapt to current environments using maladaptive rules and values that were learned and internalized in the context of close attachment relationships. IRT identifies precise ways in which early learning shapes present experience. Additionally, the "gift of love" (GOL) hypothesis posits that motivation to repeat maladaptive ways is linked to the wish to receive love and acceptance from specific internalized attachment figures by repeating their ways and values for the patient. The IRT case formulation has been shown to be reliable and valid (Critchfield, Benjamin, & Levenick, 2015). The therapy adherence measure is also reliable (Critchfield, Davis, Gunn, & Benjamin, 2008) and correlates well with retention as well as reduced symptoms and rehospitalization rates (Karpiak, Critchfield, & Benjamin, 2011) among "difficult to treat" patients characterized as having high levels of personality disorder, chronic and severe problems, and prior failed treatment attempts. To illustrate the case formulation process, an IRT formulation is applied to the case of a 28-year-old female patient for whom a poor outcome was documented.

Comparing Interpersonal Defense Theory and Interpersonal Reconstructive Therapy and Their Views of Sharon’s Case

This paper compares the approaches to Sharon’s case presented in two articles that appear earlier in this module, my paper (Westerman, 2021a), which was based on Interpersonal Defense Theory, and the paper by Critchfield, Dobner-Pereira, and Stucker (2021a), which was based on Interpersonal Reconstructive Therapy (IRT). I begin by considering differences in general between the ways in which these two perspectives approach case formulation. I then turn to comparing the formulations of Sharon’s case based on the two perspectives. Among other things, this part of the paper contrasts IRT’s focus on copy processes and the Gift of Love with Interpersonal Defense Theory’s focus on functionalist processes that involve the temporal organization of the parts of noncoordinating defensive interpersonal patterns. The second half of the paper compares the treatment implications of the two approaches in general terms and as they relate to Sharon’s case in particular. Implications for treatment are discussed regarding both insight-oriented interventions and enacted interventions at the level of therapy relationship processes.

Commemoration of Prophet (SAWW) in Ghalib's Poetry

Mirza Ghalib, a poet of Urdu and Persian, spent most of his life, refining his Persian poetry. In the field of praise and adoration of Mohammad (PBUH), his Persian poetry is the mirror of his creative endeavors. In his Persian Poetry, Ghalib kept on mentioning Prophet (PBUH) at the quatrains, odes, qitas, qasaids, and masnavis in praise of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). A study of Ghalib’s Persian kalam (word) mentions the prophet (PBUH) and shows all of his poems that have been written in the praise of the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) are key topics in the articles. There secondary subjects such as the embodiment of Rasool (PBUH), Faraq-e-Madinah, and worldly demands are not mentioned. On the contrary, by describing the greatness of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) everywhere he has entrusted this gift of love to Allah in a very beautiful way.

『사랑의 선물』이 보여준 저본과 번역본의 차이가 주는 의미 고찰 - 「꽃 속의 작은이」를 중심으로

번역동화 「꽃 속의 작은이」를 번역 저본인 일본어역본과 비교할 때, 가장 중요한 차이는 젊은이의 살해자가 오빠에서 사내로 바뀌었다는 점이다. 이 변화는, 약자에 대한 강자의 힘의 사용을 가족이라는 맥락에서 탈피시켜 국가 사이의 일로 이동시킨 결과이다. 여기에는 일본 제국의 조선 침탈을 드러내려는 번역자의 의도가 개입되어 있다. 두 번째의 차이는 결말의 확장적 번역이다. 저본의 결말은, 악인 제거는 젊은이의 죽음에 대한 복수이다는 선포로 마무리된다. 번역본은 선포로 끝나지 않고 악인 소거가 유발하는 기쁨까지 묘사되었다. 이 확장적 번역은 악인(제국)의 소거 즉 조국 독립이 주는 정서적 만족감을 상상한 결과였다.<BR> 이 두 차이를 토대로 방정환의 동화 번역의 주요 의의 중의 하나가, 주권 상실한 처지를 환기하고 독립의식을 진작케 하려는 의지의 발현임을 지적해 볼 수 있다. 이러한 방정환의 의지가 「꽃 속의 작은이」를 번역작으로 선정하고, 이를 『사랑의 선물』 마지막에 배치했던 까닭으로도 작용한다.<BR> 「꽃 속의 작은이」를 중심으로 볼 때, 번역동화집 『사랑의 선물』의 숨은 목표는 아동을 포함한 조선 독자들의 민족의식 고취로 파악된다. 이 과정에서 아동 독자는 민족의 일원으로 포섭되었다고 할 수 있다. 민족의 일원으로서의 아동 이해는, 성인과 다른 속성을 가진 독자로서의 아동 이해와 어떻게 맞물리는가를 중요한 연구 과제로 남긴다.

Modlitwa o dar rozeznawania woli Boga (Flp 1, 9–11)

Celem tego artykułu było zbadanie, jak św. Paweł rozumie rozeznawanie woli Boga w życiu wierzących. Egzegeza modlitwy wstawienniczej apostoła zanoszonej do Boga za Filipian (1, 9–11) wskazuje na to, że rozeznawanie jest przede wszystkim darem, łaską Boga, o którą warto prosić dla siebie i dla innych, dla Kościoła.Apostoł Narodów podkreśla, że rozeznawanie łączy się ściśle ze wzrostem w miłości, ale też z otwieraniem się na poznanie objawiającego się Boga. Kluczową kwestią w rozeznawaniu – dla Pawła – jest odnajdywanie tego, co jest faktycznie wartościowe. Odczytując tę zasadę poprzez Rz 12, 2 można przyjąć, że chodzi o to, co dobre – w znaczeniu – pomocne do zbawienia, o to w czym Bóg ma upodobanie, czyli o czystość serca i całkowite ofiarowanie się Jemu oraz o to, co doskonałe, dojrzałe.Treść tej modlitwy wstawienniczej zdaje się uwrażliwiać wierzących na dzia-łającego Boga, od którego pochodzi dar miłości, rozpoznawania i wybierania tego, co sprawia, że podobieństwo wierzących do Chrystusa coraz wyraźniej się uwidacznia.

Explicating Choice of MTN® Advertising Frameworks in Nigerian Print Media

The meaning that a communicator intends to make determines the choice of the lexemes that the individual employs. Thus, this study explored the textual choices of MTN advertisements; as such entities were utilised to generate meaning potential. Seven advertisements of MTN functioned as the objects of analysis. The application of Halliday’s Theme-Rheme theoretical lens permitted the processing of the MTN advertisements into various semiotic slots. Such conceptual procedure informed the calibration of the textual components into different frequencies, using the table and graph to demonstrate clearer pictures of the outcomes. Observations showed the kinds of MTN advertising textual choices in two distinct sequences. The first was the thematic choices in the form of marked (As Nigerians, we can weave…), unmarked (Friends are the reason…) and conjunctive logical (so, and, that) constructs. The second aspect was the clause choices available in the texts. These clause choices emanated as declarative (Love is a feeling…), imperative (So reach out) with predicated themes (Share the priceless gift of love), and interrogative (Are you in love?) elements. One could also acknowledge disjunctive grammar (A year of new challenges…) and minor clauses (Happy Valentine’s Day), operating in the communications. Contextually, the study might influence the MTN telecommunications operator to review the nature of textual choices of persuasion, having understood the structures available in the current analysis.

Żyć mocą Ducha Bożego w Kościele

Our life as the Christen in the community ecclesial is the announcement about God, which gives the people the gifts of love, freedom, friendship and truth. Through the forgiveness and the activity of the salvation of God, love and friendship in man’s life makes the human world more divine. This Jesus accents in His proclamation about the kingdom divine, specially in the parables, where He presents the model of the world based on love, hope, faith and freedom as the world of deeds based on God. Therefore, with the power of God’s Spirit, man has to make his life based on the norm of divine, because only in God, with God and through God exists for man the possibility to life now on earth, and afterwards in the future in heaven. In this situation, the answer of the man of faith has to be the motivation to take up the “deed” of the renovation of self-life and the imitation of God. This constitutes as the Christian thought that the central point of the theological interpretation of the value of salvation is realized – hic et nun – as the historical and existential value of the human life in the right of the kingdom divine. The proclamation of Jesus about the “new life”, presents to man the values of the divine existence in the spiritual of the Church. On one hand, it is the gift of freedom and the liberation from sin, where the love of God is absolutely necessary. On the other hand, the “new life” opens for man the space of liberty of life, where God forgives the human offences and the sins, both past and present. Well now the resume of the call to imitate God is the acceptance of the divine gift, which changes the man himself, and all the people, who seek the help and good councils to live the norm divine. These witnesses in the human mentality the consciousness of the existence based on the divine laws, which have in themselves the dimension eschatological.

Before it disappeared: ethnobotanical study of fleagrass (Adenosma buchneroides), a traditional aromatic plant used by the Akha people

BackgroundFleagrass, Adenosma buchneroides, is an aromatic perennial herb that occupies an important position in the life of the Akha people. They regard it as a tribal symbol and a gift of love. Fleagrass also has many medicinal uses, and there is considerable potential for its development as an insect repellent. Traditionally, Akha people plant it in swidden fields, but there are few swidden fields in China now. Therefore, the first question this study aims to answer is as follows: how is fleagrass planted and utilized now? At present, fleagrass is only reported to be used by Akha people in Mengla. We also try to understand the following questions: Is fleagrass used in nearby area? If so, how is fleagrass used in nearby area? Furthermore, why is fleagrass used in that way?MethodsFrom August 2016 to July 2018, field surveys were conducted six times. The ethnobotanical and ethnopharmacological uses of A. buchneroides in 13 Akha villages were investigated by means of semi-structured interviews. We assessed the responses of a total of 64 interviewees (32 men and 32 women; mean age, 58.6) from the Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China, and from Phongsaly Province, Laos. To explain the bases for the ethnobotanical uses of fleagrass, we used Google Scholar, Web of Science, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure to review the bioactivities of the chemical constituents of A. buchneroides.ResultsWith the vanishing of swidden agriculture and the development of modern products, fleagrass cultivation is disappearing in China. However, most Akha people in Xishuangbanna still remember and yearn for its traditional uses, and Akha people in a nearby area (northern Laos) continue to plant and utilize it. We documented ten uses of A. buchneroides within five discrete categories. The whole plant of fleagrass has a distinct strong aroma, of which Akha villagers are particularly fond. Akha villagers mostly use this aromatic property as a decoration, perfume, and insect repellent. A. buchneroides is also used as a condiment and for medicinal and ritual purposes, including its use as a cure for insect bites, headaches, influenza, and diarrhoea, and as a part of pray ritual for a bumper harvest. From our literature review, we identified many major chemical compounds contained in the essential oil of A. buchneroides, including thymol, carvacrol, 3-carene, and p-cymene, which have insecticidal or insect-repellent, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties.ConclusionFleagrass is an aromatic plant that is widely used by Aka people. Its chemical composition also has a variety of biological activities. With the vanishing of swidden agriculture and the development of modern products, fleagrass utilization in China is disappearing and its cultural importance is reduced. However, its economic and medicinal value is assignable.

Gifts of Love and Friendship: On Changing Marriage Traditions, the Meaning of Gifts, and the Value of Women in the Garhwal Himalayas

The practice of gift giving on official occasions in the Garhwal Himalayas is subject to a number of tacit rules. For example, the quality and quantity of gifts given before, during, and after a wedding ceremony are carefully recorded so that when the time arrives to reciprocate in the event of another wedding, the return gifts correspond appropriately. Giving and receiving gifts are part of the negotiations in the normative order of Garhwal through which social relationships are established. In recent years, gifts have become markers of crucial shifts in values attached to young brides and grooms while, at the same time, discourses on love and young people’s attitudes about marriage have also changed significantly. The practice of gift giving in relationships of love and friendship has become important to young Garhwali people, for whom acts of gift giving are strongly connected with ideas of romantic love. These acts are also part of new friendship networks and bonds of love between young men and women outside of marriage.
