  • Anti-Donatism for Western Church and Society La Tolerancia Y Las Dos Ciudades: 8 El Anti-Donatismo Para La Iglesia Y La Sociedad Occidental
    Tolerance and the Two Cities: Anti-Donatism for Western Church and Society La tolerancia y las dos ciudades: 8 el anti-donatismo para la iglesia y la sociedad occidental Gregory W. Lee Wheaton College, United States, of America Abstract As Western society becomes increasingly polarized, Augustine’s ecclesial and political writings offer wisdom for negotiating objectionable difference. Against Donatist views, Augustine teaches that it is impossible to avoid sinners within the Church— contact with sinners does not communicate sin, and Christ is able to preserve the wheat faithful among the tares. These principles, moreover, also apply to social and political spheres, where Chris- tians are called to endure as exiles in a fallen world. Augustine’s understanding of penance reflects these concerns as this chapter seeks to demon- strate. Though mortal sins merit exclusion from Eucharist, bishops should exercise mercy toward offenders and avoid disciplining them in ways that may accelerate their departure from the faith. John Bowlin’s recent work on tolerance, for example, il- luminates Augustine’s anti-Donatist principles and commends the importance of discernment con- cerning such questions of dissociation. Tolerance is not moral laxity but a necessary response to evil in the world. Still, the practice of tolerance should not be used to pressure the oppressed to suffer more abuse. Augustine understands the endurance of sinners as a burden the strong bear on behalf of the weak. Keywords: Augustine, Bowlin, Donatism, penance, politics, tolerance. [254] Agustín de Hipona como Doctor Pacis: estudios sobre la paz en el mundo contemporáneo Resumen Frente a una sociedad occidental cada vez más polarizada, los escritos eclesiales y políticos de Agustín ofrecen la sabiduría necesaria para nego- ciar diferencias objetables.

Premessa. – 2. Scavi e ricerche. – 3. Congressi ed incontri internazionali. – 4. Approfondimenti. – 5. Appendice. 1. – Premessa Il rapporto fra Sardegna ed Africa non può essere valutato solo in termini di contiguità geografica; come dimostrano le vicende storiche, esso affonda le sue radici nell’anima stessa dell’isola e del continente e costituisce un patrimonio comune, in parte registrato dalla tradizione mitografica[2]. Nato già con le migrazioni umane del tardo neolitico[3], forse grazie all’attività marinara dei Nuragici[4], sicuramente il rapporto si intensifica con la dominazione di Cartagine sulle coste dell’isola, con l’immigrazione di mercenari e coloni della Libya nelle pianure della Sardegna. Prosegue quindi durante la pax Romana, con i commerci fra le sponde del Mediterraneo, con l’unione dei negotiatiores e dei navicularii sardi e africani nella gestione dei traffici verso Ostia, con i frequenti scambi di persone, esperienze e conoscenze; si protrae con la fine dell’impero Romano, durante la dominazione dei Vandali e con l’impero bizantino[5]. Una cesura nei rapporti fra Africa e Sardegna si ebbe con la conquista araba del continente e con la parziale interruzione delle relazioni sul Mare Nostrum[6]: da

Through a diachronic and geo‐ historical approach, we identify and analyse the origins of Algiers’ persistent port‐city divide. In doing so, the notion of the interface is interpreted as a spatial threshold between city and port, which nevertheless supports the material flows of both entities. As a multi‐purpose area, the interface holds the potential to weave the disparate entities of a port city back together. To further complement this conceptual angle, we provide investigations of porosity that determine the differing degrees of connectivity between the city and port of Algiers. This is combined with a spatial‐functional analysis of Algiers’ current port‐city interface, which is ultimately characterised as a non‐homogeneous entity composed of four distinct sequences. These results contribute to a better orientation of imminent plans for waterfront revitalisations in Algiers.

  • A Property Rights Perspective to the Study of Nationalism
    PART I Agrarian Moment: Land and Freedom The frst part of the book deals with the agrarian moment of this his- tory of nationalism in the US and Norway. The time period covered is roughly the years between 1760 and 1815. Within this time period both the elite of the American colonies and in the Kingdom of Norway declared independence from the empires to which they had belonged for centuries. This was based on an ideology of nationalism, which was, at the time, a novelty. In the course of this part of the book, I seek to show how the new ideology of nationalism emerged as a powerful political force in the landed, agrarian societies of colonial America and Oldenburg Norway. The main focus of Part I will be on demonstrating how landed property relations in the two societies were important for how the national ideology formed. After a short general introduction to theagrarian world of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, Chapter 2 starts by looking at the American colonies. The peculiar property relations of colonial America that was marked by widespread ownership of land will be noted, and then the discussion moves on to the imperial crisis between the col- onies and the imperial capital of London. There will be a focus on how key public fgures asserted the property rights of colonial Americans, and how they came to connect this to the idea of popular sovereignty and, fnally, to national independence. Main events covered will be the Declaration of Independence and the Constitutional Convention. Next, Chapter 3 moves east across the Atlantic to Norway.

  • Lucan's Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulf
    Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Catherine Connors, Chair Alain Gowing Stephen Hinds Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2014 Laura Zientek University of Washington Abstract Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Catherine Connors Department of Classics This dissertation is an analysis of the role of landscape and the natural world in Lucan’s Bellum Civile. I investigate digressions and excurses on mountains, rivers, and certain myths associated aetiologically with the land, and demonstrate how Stoic physics and cosmology – in particular the concepts of cosmic (dis)order, collapse, and conflagration – play a role in the way Lucan writes about the landscape in the context of a civil war poem. Building on previous analyses of the Bellum Civile that provide background on its literary context (Ahl, 1976), on Lucan’s poetic technique (Masters, 1992), and on landscape in Roman literature (Spencer, 2010), I approach Lucan’s depiction of the natural world by focusing on the mutual effect of humanity and landscape on each other. Thus, hardships posed by the land against characters like Caesar and Cato, gloomy and threatening atmospheres, and dangerous or unusual weather phenomena all have places in my study. I also explore how Lucan’s landscapes engage with the tropes of the locus amoenus or horridus (Schiesaro, 2006) and elements of the sublime (Day, 2013).

The aim of this paper is to identify and characterize the most important building stones used in the construction of the Roman city of Lixus (Larache, Morocco) by means of petrographic and petrophysical techniques. Based on the visual analysis of the monuments, three major building stones (i.e. lithotypes) have been identified: i) Oligocene sandstones, ii) Quaternary sandstones and iii) Quaternary conglomerates.
