They are like the sunshine and rain, which act slowly and invisibly on the grain in the field, yet with effects which become very visible at last on a comparison with those fields which have been exposed to drought and heat. The institution of the break- ing of bread is based upon an exact knowledge of human nature and its needs. It helps to keep us in a healthful association of ideas, while it gives us the opportunity of a public acknowledg- ment of the Lord and the personal recognition of his despised friends. It is humiliating to the natural man who has any position in the present evil world, and who, sooner or later, finds reasons for backing out. Blessed are they who love Thy law, nothing shall them offend). Let us be found walking diligently in this, as in all the commandments of the Lord — blameless. The day is near at hand when it will be apparent to all that such a course "hath great recompense of reward" (Heb. 10-35). The poverty and humiliation of the present phase of the work of God will then have passed away; the power and the glory and the un- belt and the scorn of men will be' in the dust. God will be exalted in all the earth; and in this exaltation every friend of His will participate with joy and strength.

  • 107 V Ariations on the Unexpected
    107 Variations on the Unexpected SURPRISE 107 Variations on the Unexpected Dedication and Prelude To Raine Daston In his essay “Of Travel,” Francis Bacon recommends that diaries be used to register the things “to be seen and observed.” Upon returning home, the traveler should not entirely leave the visited countries, but maintain a correspondence with those she met, and let her experi- ence appear in discourse rather than in “apparel or gesture.” Your itineraries through a vast expanse of the globe of knowledge seem to illustrate Bacon’s recommendations, and have inspired many to em- bark on the exploration of other regions—some adjacent, some dis- tant from the ones you began to clear. Yet not all have journeyed as well equipped as you with notebooks, nor assembled them into a trove apt to become, as Bacon put it, “a good key” to inquiry. As you begin new travels, you may add the present collection to yours, and adopt the individual booklets as amicable companions on the plane or the U-Bahn. Upon wishing you, on behalf of all its contributors, Gute Reise! and Bon voyage!, let us tell you something about its gen- esis and intention. Science depends on the unexpected. Yet surprise and its role in the process of scientific knowledge-making has hitherto received lit- tle attention, let alone systematic investigation. If such a study ex- isted, it would no doubt have been produced in your Department at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science. The topic is a seamless match with your interest in examining ideals and practices of scientific and cultural rationality—ideals and practices often so fundamental that they appear to transcend history or are overlooked altogether.

  • THE ARTIST in TIMES of WAR Mark Visione Faculty of Arts and Social
    THE ARTIST IN TIMES OF WAR Mark Visione A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Sydney College of the Arts The University of Sydney 2018 Statement This volume is presented as a record of the work undertaken for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney. Summary The works made and words written for this candidature function as an argument against war and the belief in its inevitability. While the art works support the argument, they have often also inspired it. I contend that attitudes to war must recognize and take into account the physical, cultural and emotional damage done to societies. In an Australian context, it seeks also to unshackle national identity from an exclusive militarist tradition. The written element does this, firstly, by introducing differing attitudes towards war within society: militarist, realist and pacifist. Attitudes of artists towards war are then represented by the highlighting of particular artists to suggest some common themes in the arts with regard to war. There follows a realistic reappraisal of the Australian military (particularly the First AIF) in order to suggest a reasonable attitude towards the significance of war on society rather than that currently held in Australia. The Dutch Second World War diarist Etty Hillesum is then used to exemplify the state of the civilian in war, a dimension not present in many current Australian perceptions of war. The final section deals particularly with the nature of the ANZAC Tradition within Australia.

  • Wartime Propaganda in the Union of South Africa, 1939 - 1945
    Wartime Propaganda In the Union of South Africa, 1939 - 1945 by Fankie Lucas Monama Dissertation presented for the degree of History in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof William R. Nasson April 2014 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. April 2014 Copyright © 2014 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za iii ABSTRACT After the First World War (1914-1918) – the first “total war” in modern history, where whole populations, not just military forces, became participants in the war effort, the potential power of propaganda was realised, through the exploitation of mass communication media to manipulate public opinion. Alongside politico-diplomatic, economic and military manoeuvres, governments needed to mobilise the minds of their population to secure support, to mobilise them behind the war policy and to avoid discontent and dissension. This was particularly crucial to South Africa during the Second World War (1939-1945), especially as the country was threatened by deeply ingrained political tensions and internal divisions. The wartime Union, under General Jan Smuts, experienced an escalation of political extremism and militancy from radical sections of white Afrikaner nationalists who opposed the government’s war policy.

The term ‘Kafkaesque’ is now in widespread use to indicate a situation or event characterised by frustration and torment, but this designation paints an unnecessarily bleak picture of Kafka’s fictional landscapes. One path towards a brighter view of his art is offered by Buddhism, which puts suffering at the centre of its philosophy and yet develops a positive spiritual outlook on life. It does so by giving clear reasons for suffering based on natural causes, leaving no room for mysterious or irresistible forces. From a Buddhist standpoint, the most formidable barrier to alleviating suffering is not presented by a powerful Court or an impregnable Castle, but by the human self or – more precisely – attachment to self.

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date / DE-6 (2/88) 11 ABSTRACT Using insights drawn from research in a variety of disciplines into theories of the body, this dissertation investigates Heinrich Boll's (1917-1985) early prose (1936-1955) as a discourse of war damaged bodies. The "new" texts discussed appeared in Germany between 1982 and 1995. The thesis represents the first attempt to analyse Boll's work from the perspective of the human body. Chapter I briefly outlines the influence sociology has had for a better understanding of the role of the human body in society.

  • International Spiritist Council Mediumship
    1 2 Mediumship Course Safe Guidelines for the Development of Mediumship Program 1 - First Part Translated Spiritist Alliance for Books (Jussara Korngold, Marie Levinson and Danny Claudio) 3 It is with heartfelt happiness that we present to the English speaking public an adapted version of the Mediumship Course that was firstly issued in March 1998 and totally revised in 2003, by the Brazilian Spiritist Federation and the International Spiritist Council. Our translation, from the original Portuguese into English, had as basis the 2003 version. This Course offers instructions on the Mechanisms of Mediumship according to Spiritism, and will also slowly begin preparation for practical mediumship. The study of the mechanisms of mediumship is a much more serious part of Spiritism. It is also of greater responsibility, not just for those of us who are giving the course, but also for you who are participating. So, we would like to mention some relevant points: 1) To create a serious and discerning ambient for the balanced and disciplined exercise of mediumship. 2) To offer orientation to all those interested as to the superior purpose of mediumship and that, according to the Spiritist Doctrine, mediumship should always be developed ‘together with the moral standards provided by Jesus’. 3) The need for a medium to be a very disciplined, punctual, assiduous and studious person. Who also does his/her best towards constant effort at inner reform. 4) The disciplined medium must achieve equilibrium and be able to work as a member of a Team within a friendly and loving atmosphere, and not in isolation.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Erez Manela Jane H Hong Reorienting America: Race, Geopolitics, and the Repeal of Asian Exclusion, 1940-1952 Abstract This dissertation examines the movement to repeal the Asian exclusion laws in the United States during World War II and the early Cold War years. It situates campaigns for repeal in the context of two interrelated developments: African American civil rights activism in the United States and shifting U.S. geopolitical interests in post- 1940 Asia. As U.S. foreign policy priorities pivoted toward Asia beginning in World War II, Americans’ view of the world changed in ways that, at times, allowed geopolitics to supersede restrictions based on race. Drawing from U.S., Indian, and Korean sources, the project charts how a transnational cast of American missionaries, U.S. and Asian state officials, and Asian and Asian American activists used the newly expedient language and logic of geopolitics to end the racial exclusion of Asians from immigration and naturalization eligibility.
