M cGregor, S. White, D. Lewis, M. Glaser) with our common supervisor Dr G. Wood. Although the studies are independent pieces of work undertaken in different areas of Bangladesh and focussing on different topics, many shared themes and complementarities emerged from our discussions of each others* work. Financial support was provided by a studentship from the University of Bath with some "special effects" from the University finance department. *) Pseudonym retained to protect the anonymity of the family as they are one of my case studies ABSTRACT AND SUMMARY The thesis is based on fieldwork in one main and seven other villages in one area of Bangladesh. It examines patterns of resource accumulation by different household categories and changes in the form and meaning of agrarian relations which occur with the introduction of STW irrigation. It is argued that under present conditions of low non-agricultural incomes and declining per capita land resources in rural Bangladesh, a transformation towards a more expansionary, capitalist rationale of production and appropriation is taking place in agriculture. The fieldwork material shows how under more secure, higher-productivity conditions facilitated by irrigation, agrarian relations are being restructured by producers and appropriators to exploit the productivity potential of new technologies such as mechanised irrigation. The comparison between the main and the seven other villages in this research shows that such restructuring of agrarian relations towards output and productivity objectives takes different forms and has different development outcomes depending on micro-level political economy conditions. The thesis uses the distinction between "forms of market" (or exploitation) and "modes of production" to differentiate between common patterns of transformation and divergent micro-level development outcomes of technologial change. Chapter I poses the main questions addressed in the research, defines the major theoretical concepts used and examines the structural meanings and functions of different agrarian relationships through Bengali history. A discussion of contemporary agrarian change and an introduction to issues and institutions in the irrigation sector in Bangladesh are also given. Chapter II addresses methodological issues, describes the fieldwork and introduces the fieldwork concepts and definitions. Chapter III introduces the area and the main village where research was carried out. Local irrigation-related changes in cropping patterns are then introduced. The final two sections of the chapter discuss forms of informal locally initiated cooperation in the main research village. Chapter IV focusses on the concept of "household category". It concentrates on 11 case studies with a detailed description of how household structure and endowment with material and social resources interact to create overall household position. Some indicators of irrigation-related change in the main research village are summarised at the end of the chapter. Chapter V constitutes the core of the thesis. Firstly, it demonstrates how with more secure, higher yields through irrigation, and with a continuing deterioration of per capita land availability, agrarian relations in the land, credit and labour markets are becoming more productivity-oriented and less subject to the productivity-reducing effects of market interlinkages. Secondly, it shows that the appearance of capitalist agrarian relations has not displaced market interlinkages and wider patron-client relations but that these have adapted to the needs of a capitalist production and appropriation rationale. Chapter VI examines agrarian change in the seven other, "subsidiary" research villages and shows how irrigation-related changes in the agricultural production structure and their influence on household level accumulation processes can take very different forms in one small relatively uniform geographical area. Chapter VII widens the focus to patterns of accumulation and change beyond the cultivation sector. The development effect at the micro- and household level of occupational diversification, in particular in the irrigation-related sectors is examined. Chapter VIII summarises findings and discusses their theoretical implications.

Follow this and additional works at: http://ir.uiowa.edu/etd Part of the Religion Commons A HERMENEUTICS OF CONTEMPLATIVE SILENCE: PAUL RICOEUR AND THE HEART OF MEANING by Michele Therese Kueter Petersen An Abstract Of a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Religious Studies in the Graduate College of The University of Iowa 1 December 2011 Thesis Supervisor: Professor David E. Klemm 1 ABSTRACT The practice of contemplative silence, in its manifestation as a mode of capable being, is a self-consciously spiritual and ethical activity that aims at a transformation of reflexive consciousness. I assert that contemplative silence manifests a mode of capable being in which we have an awareness of the awareness of the awareness of being with being whereby we can constitute and create a shared world of meaning(s) through poetically presencing our being as being with others. The doubling and tripling of the term "awareness" refers to five contextual levels of awareness, which are analyzed, including immediate self-awareness, immediate objective awareness, reflective awareness, reflexive awareness, and contemplative awareness.

  • Jerry Cantrell Jerry Cantrell
    Jerry Cantrell Jerry Cantrell - vocals / guitar Robert Trujillo - bass Mike Bordin - drums From the lyrically and sonically mournful “Psychotic Break” to when the mental and musical exorcism of Jerry Cantrell's nearly 73-minute aural Degradation Trip concludes with the lovely, somnolent, bluesy strains of “Gone,” the singer/guitarist's Roadrunner debut is a sundry and sometimes scary journey to the center of a psyche. It may not always be a pretty trip, but it's a close-to-the-bone excursion that haunts both its creator and its listeners. As the multi-faceted artist relates, “In '98, I locked myself in my house, went out of my mind and wrote 25 songs,” says the then-fully-bearded Cantrell. “I rarely bathed during that period of writing; I sent out for food, I didn't really venture out of my house in three or four months. It was a hell of an experience. The album is an overview of birth to now. That's all,” he grins, though the visceral and haunting songs, by turns soaring and raw, do reflect that often-naked and sometimes-grim truth. “Boggy Depot [his 1998 solo bow] is like Kindergarten compared to this,” he furthers. “The massive sonic growth from Boggy Depot to Degradation Trip is comparable to the difference between our work in the Alice In Chains albums Facelift to Dirt, which was also a tremendous leap.” And all of Cantrell's 25 prolifically penned songs will see the light of day by 2003. Degradation Trip, which will be released June 18, is comprised of 14 songs from the personal, transcendent writing marathon that inspired such self-searching cuts as “Bargain Basement Howard Hughes,” “Hellbound,” and “Profalse Idol.” The second batch of songs—“as sad and brutal as Degradation Trip” —Cantrell promises, are due out on Roadrunner 2003.

  • Hobbes and Spinoza
    CHAPTER ONE: The One and Only Law I. Introduction In terms of his contribution to legal theory, Benjamin leaves us in a strange position. On the one hand, in his “Critique of Violence,” Benjamin sets out a very comprehensive overview of the law, ranging from natural to positive law. Here, he describes the parameters of law as we understand it, its basis for authority. On the other hand, via his notion of divine violence, also promoted in that essay, he offers a vision of a law destroying deity which upends and subverts all human contrivances. If law is both the foundation of political authority and also, in its divine manifestation, the undoing of the same, what does this say about our actual practices? What kind of law are we permitted in the face of divine interference? Does law end up being completely meaningless in the face of a messianic force that seems purely destructive?1 In this paper, I will argue that for Benjamin divine interference does not completely undermine law as a human practice; instead it leaves us with only one law, the Second Commandment against idolatry.2 Insofar as the act of divine violence is itself an act explicitly directed against idolatry, it offers a celestial model for law that serves us on earth as well. At the outset, I should say that this argument is an interpretation of Benjamin. He does not come out and say that we must obey the Second Commandment and only this commandment—at least not directly, but I will argue that such a conclusion comes out of an engagement with his writing, especially in terms of his most extensive commentary on law, his well-known essay “Critique of Violence.” 1 To obey one single law may seem to diminish law to a mere pith, a singularity that cannot address the complexity of human life and experience.

  • The Judgment of God and the Rise of 'Inclusivism'
    The Judgment of God and the Rise of ‘Inclusivism’ in Contemporary American Evangelicalism Victor Kuligin Dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Theology (DTh) in Systematic Theology at the University of Stellenbosch University of Stellenbosch Republic of South Africa Promoter: Prof DJ Smit March 2008 I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this dissertation is my own original work and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it at any University for a degree. V Kuligin: __________________________ Date: __________________________ Copyright © 2008 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ABSTRACT This study offers an overview and critique of the growing movement in American evangelicalism of what is popularly known as “inclusivism.” The mounting uneasiness expressed in many evangelical circles in North America concerning the fate of the unevangelised, and how that may square with the traditional evangelical view of their lostness, has produced a vigorous Soteriology which means to address what is viewed as inadequacies in the traditional model of salvation found in the American evangelical community. After an Introduction which defines the terms of the discussion, a systematic presentation of the main views of inclusivism is presented, mainly through the eyes of two of its foremost proponents, Clark Pinnock and John Sanders (although many others are also referenced). Major topics of coverage include the character and nature of God as supremely expressed in the teaching of Jesus, the work of the Holy Spirit through non-Christian religions, and how a balance between the love of God and human freedom can be maintained.

    ALICE IN CHAINS ANNOUNCE BLACKDIAMONDSKYE FEATURING SPECIAL GUESTS DEFTONES AND MASTODON MEGA-TOUR LAUNCHES THIS FALL Los Angeles, CA (April 29, 2010) – The rumors are true: this fall, Alice In Chains will be joined by special guests Deftones and Mastodon on BLACKDIAMONDSKYE, a monolithic triple bill that is guaranteed to be the hottest ticket of the fall touring season. The rollicking roadshow, produced by Live Nation, launches September 16th at the Charter One Pavilion in Chicago, IL. Tickets go on sale in select markets beginning May th 15th at www.blackdiamondskye.com and LiveNation.com. Fan club pre-sale begins May 10 for select dates. Check blackdiamondskye.com for more info. Over the course of the past week, message boards across the Internet have been buzzing about the tour following a series of mysterious videos seen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDFyMbkIorI and the countdown posted on the recently launched blackdiamondskye.com site. “Rather than launch with a traditional tour announcement, we wanted to engage the fans first,” says David “Beno” Benveniste, founder of Velvet Hammer Music and Management Group, who rep Alice In Chains and Deftones. “We gave them a cryptic clip featuring video snippets of each band and they lit up the internet. Now there’s an entire online community talking about the tour and speculating about the bands involved. It’s thrilling to see them communicate and respond so positively to this exciting tour.” “We’re really looking forward to touring with our friends, Deftones and Mastodon,” says Alice In Chains guitarist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell. “Each band has its own unique flavor and the combination of all three will make for a great show and a good time on the road.” Multi-platinum-selling headliners ALICE IN CHAINS are touring in support of Black Gives Way To Blue (Virgin/EMI), which was named “Album of the Year” at the recent Revolver Golden Gods Award show.
