Fornication: A Religious Perspective

Abstract Being one of the first texts to reproduce in printed form the Anglo-Saxon characters, A Testimonie of Antiquity, basically an edition of Ælfric’s “Sermo in Die Pascae”, has been the object of philological studies. Its subject matter related to the Anglican reform has also been analysed from a religious perspective. This article intends to focus on a different aspect, the reason for the text’s success evidenced in its several reproductions and content discussions, which have reached the 20th century. We claim the main credit for this success is to be given to its editors and, therefore, a pragmatic analysis concentrating on stance and engagement (Hyland 2005, 2009) is an adequate study frame. The conclusions will reveal how although there are quantifiable markers that facilitated the positive reception of the text, there were other elements (closer to modern writing implements) the authors utilized to achieve their final objective.

Starting with the independence process of all the territories once colonies and later, overseas territories of the different states of Western Europe, Latin America meant an association of unique paradoxes. Portugal and Spain have dominated in the past, especially from a linguistic and religious perspective,the current space that became avaried cultural environment. In this context, the aim of this study is to capture, in the introductory part, characteristics of the Latin American complex identity(reflected, for example, in the names associated with this space of civilization, in political circumstances and social issues, in particular). In addition, another purpose is to highlight the way in which these aspects are considered in the prose of modern Latin American writers, Rodrigo Rey Rosa and Héctor Abad Faciolince. At the same time,emphasizing the scourge of discrimination or inequality, but especially the perpetual violence, thestudyconcludes with a reference (also found in the literary discourse of the two texts chosen for analysis, Los sordos and El olvido que seremos) to the ethical spirit, but also to the feeling of empathy—subjects approached by both writers—in a world that seems more and more fragmented and depersonalized, as if it has been occupied by a continuous stigma of imbalance.

Comprehensive Reform

<p>In the context of religious education, multicultural paradigm is the main foundation organizing of teaching and learning process. Religious education requires more than just curriculum transformation, it also changes in the religious perspective of an exclusive view into multicultural outlook, or at least to maintain the views and attitudes of an inclusive and pluralism. Realized or not, these groups are culturally and ethnically distinct advance religion, often the victims of racism and impact of the larger society. Therefore, Islamic religious education as a discipline which include the national education have a duty to inculcate awareness of the differences, considering Islam is the majority religion in Indonesia, the postscript is a multi religious country. Growing awareness of religious diversity, required in the new format in the Islamic religious education with teaching multicultural vision. Islamic religious education learning brings a multicultural vision of dialogic approaches to inculcate awareness of living together in diversity and difference. This learning is built on the spirit of equality relationships, mutual trust, mutual understanding and appreciating the similarities, differences and uniqueness, as well as interdepedensi. This is an innovation and an integral and comprehensive reform in charge of religious education that is free of prejudice, racism, ambiguous and stereotyping. Religious education provides recognition of multicultural vision of plurality, learning tool for cross-border encounters, and the indoctrination transform to dialogue.</p>

Введение. Исследуется метафорическая концептуализация Брексита в новостном дискурсе. Материал и методы. Материалом послужили новостные тексты британских интернет-изданий (The Guardian, The Independent, The Daily Telegraph и британского интернет-портала BBC News), освещающих тему Брексита; методами исследования – дефиниционный анализ, компонентный анализ, метод сплошной выборки, метод интерпретационного и концептуального анализа, метод метафорической концептуализации. Результаты и обсуждение. Проведен анализ и осуществлена интерпретация метафорической репрезентации социально-политического явления Брексита через религиозные концепты. Религия пронизывала историю всех народов, все сферы человеческого бытия, проникая в сознание и подсознание людей. Значимость религии в современном обществе обусловливает интенцию авторов новостей задать необходимые ценностные ориентации для реципиента в имплицитной форме. Выявлена метафорическая субмодель BREXIT – RELIGIOUS BELIEF (БРЕКСИТ – РЕЛИГИОЗНОЕ УБЕЖДЕНИЕ), в терминах которой Брексит интерпретируется как религиозное убеждение, что значительно увеличивает его воздействующий потенциал. Один из результатов исследования – выявление в рамках религиозной модели субмодели BREXIT – CULT (БРЕКСИТ – КУЛЬТ), которая имеет негативную коннотацию, обозначая псевдорелигиозную организацию. Анализируется когнитивная метафорическая модель Брексита, в которой идеология Брексита как священной войны за возвращение национального суверенитета трансформируется в идеологию «зомбированного» тоталитарного культа как стремления к псевдоценностям. Выявлена метафорическая субмодель BREXIT – SECT (БРЕКСИТ – СЕКТА), посредством которой устанавливаются концептуальные связи между политикой Б. Джонсона в отношении Брексита и террористической организацией Аль-Каида, чьи приверженцы готовы умирать сами и убивать других за свою идеологию. Аргументируется реализация интерпретирующего потенциала религиозной концептуальной метафоры в формировании отрицательного образа Брексита в новостном дискурсе. Заключение. В рамках религиозной метафорической модели БРЕКСИТ – РЕЛИГИЯ выявлены субмодели БРЕКСИТ – РЕЛИГИОЗНОЕ УБЕЖДЕНИЕ, БРЕКСИТ – КУЛЬТ, БРЕКСИТ – СЕКТА. Интерпретирующий потенциал религиозной метафоры реализован. Introduction. The socio-political event of the UK’s exit from the European Union has attracted widespread attention in the mass media since 2016. The article focuses on the metaphorical conceptualization of Brexit in news discourse. Material and methods. The research is based on the news texts on Brexit from the British internet-editions such as The Guardian, The Independent, The Daily Telegraph and BBC News. The research methods used in the paper are the definitional analysis, componential analysis, complete enumeration method, interpretation analysis, content analysis, metaphorical conceptualization method. Results and discussion. The paper gives a detailed analysis and interpretation of Brexit metaphorical representation from a religious perspective. The religion has always played an essential role in the history of human society. It is considered not only to permeate all the spheres of human activity but also consciousness and subconsciousness. Therefore, journalists implicitly try to influence the values of recipients. The metaphorical submodel BREXIT – RELIGIOUS BELIEF revealed in the paper describes Brexit primarily as a religious belief to add more value for the British society. The metaphorical submodel BREXIT – RELIGIOUS BELIEF is transformed into the submodel BREXIT – CULT with a negative connotation as a pseudo-religious organization. The metaphorical submodel BREXIT – SECT considered in the paper has a destructive nature and it compares B. Johnson and his supporters with the terrorist group Al-Qaeda that is ready to murder and die for its ideology. Conclusion. Productive religious metaphorical submodels interpret Brexit as a negative process. The interpretive potential of conceptual religious metaphor is realized.
