Resumo: Nosso objetivo neste trabalho é analisar a minissérie A Pedra d’o Reino (2007), produzida pela Rede Globo em parceria com a Academia de Filmes, e dirigida por Luiz Fernando Carvalho, em relação à obra literária que lhe deu origem, o Romance d’A Pedra do Reino e o príncipe do sangue do vai-e-volta (1971), de Ariano Suassuna. A análise diz respeito, principalmente, à construção do personagem Sinésio, primo e sobrinho do narrador-protagonista, que em ambas as obras é uma figura ambígua: considerada messiânica pelo narrador e pela população pobre do sertão da Paraíba, que a comparam ao Rei Dom Sebastião e a Jesus Cristo, e, em contrapartida, vista como impostora e perigosa pela elite do local, a qual acredita que ele, a mando de Luís Carlos Prestes, quer ludibriar o povo a fim de mobilizá-lo para que venha a desencadear a Revolução Comunista. Carvalho concebeu a minissérie como uma homenagem aos oitenta anos de vida de Suassuna e, apesar de ter toda a liberdade para transformar o que considerasse necessário no romance para transpor sua narrativa para o formato minissérie, optou por manter a essência e os aspectos principais do texto fonte, ao também dialogar aberta e ricamente com outros textos e gêneros do discurso.Palavras-chave: Ariano Suassuna; Luiz Fernando Carvalho; minissérie; A Pedra do Reino; Sinésio.Abstract: The aim of this paper is to compare the miniseries A Pedra do Reino (2007), co-produced by Rede Globo and Academia de Filmes and directed by Luiz Fernando Carvalho, and the literary work that originated it, Ariano Suassuna’s novel Romance d’A Pedra do Reino e o príncipe do sangue do vai-e-volta (1971). The analysis concerns the portrayal of Sinésio, a character who is the narrator’s cousin and nephew and who preserves his ambiguous nature in both pieces, miniseries and book. On the one hand, he is seen as a Messiah by the narrator and the poor people in the backlands of Paraíba, who compare him to Portuguese king Dom Sebastião and to Jesus Christ. On the other hand, he is seen as an impostor by the local elite, who believe that he is trying to get the people to fight for the Communist Revolution on behalf of Luís Carlos Prestes. Carvalho conceived the miniseries as a homage to Suassuna’s eightieth birthday and, although being able to change whatever was needed when adapting the novel to the screen, he chose to keep the essence and the most important aspects of the source by, at the same time, making various references to other texts and discourse genres.Keywords: Ariano Suassuna; Luiz Fernando Carvalho; miniseries; A Pedra do Reino; Sinésio.

Characterization is commonly known in stylistics to be the cognitive process in the readers' minds when comprehending a fictional character in a literary work .In one approach, it is assumed that characters are the outcome of the interaction between the words in the text on the one hand and the contents of our heads on the other. This paper is an attempt to understand how characterization is achieved by applying Culpeper’s (2001) model which seems to be to present a method of analysis that is more objective and more systematic in analyzing characters. Two characters are selected for discussion; Ralph and Jack from Golding’s (1954) Lord of the Flies. The novel talks about the corruption of human beings and the capacity of evil they have. The results show that Ralph and Jack are antithetical in many aspects; Ralph represents the rational civilized boy whereas Jack represents the savage brutal boy.

The objective interpretation can be showed in three ways: to follow the text in its context in the Koran and interpreted its meaning; to search for the similar verses which competent one subject and illustrates the objective interpretation; or to address the whole Surah and explore it in an objective study and to explain the definition of the Surah and determine the main idea of the Surah then divided into topics and link verses with the main idea. The aim of this study is to study Surat Al- Humaza an objective study, a general definition of the surah and its topics was explored then the topics were linked with the pre - and beyond to show the miracle the connection between the topics of the Koran in the context of the Surah and its verses. Then the main idea was identified which is challenging and flawing people in their presence and in their absence, then the topics of the verses of Surah were linked to the main idea to show “with the help of God” the objective unity of the Holy Qur'an. The first verse of the Surah threat and intimidate anyone who challenges people and flaw them, because challenging and flawing people showed the evil in the heart, and the behavior of the Muslim is correct only by treating his heart after the recovery of his mind. As money is one of the motives that drive the evil hearts to challenge and flaw the people and do unfairness to other people, the Surah stated the money and its impact on the souls after the threat and intimidation on the one who slanderer that he insults and holds others in contempt habitually, the fraud and raise money to arrogance and did not pay for the right of God for the poor will all be lost, crashed and shattered all hopes and. Every oppressor arrogant to the other will be punished in the Hell, all of this were sown in the Surah and it can be seen in the unity of objectivity between the verses of Surah from beginning to end.

In this article, we explore the debates surrounding the proposed canonization of Archbishop Oscar Romero, an outspoken defender of human rights and the poor during the civil war in El Salvador, who was assassinated in March 1980 by paramilitary death squads while saying Mass. More specifically, we examine the tension between, on the one hand, local and popular understandings of Romero’s life and legacy and, on the other hand, transnational and institutional interpretations. We argue that the reluctance of the Vatican to advance Romero’s canonization process has to do with the need to domesticate and “privatize” his image. This depoliticization of Romero’s work and teachings is a part of a larger agenda of neo-Romanization, an attempt by the Holy See to redeploy a post-colonial and transnational Catholic regime in the face of the crisis of modernity and the advent of postmodern relativism. This redeployment is based on the control of local religious expressions, particularly those that advocate for a more participatory church, which have proliferated with contemporary globalization

Starting from the cry of the seraphim in Isaiahʹ s prophecy, this article aims to follow the rhythm of the sacred harmony, transcending the symbols of the angelic world and of the divine names, to get to the face to face meeting between man and God, just as the seraphim, reflecting their existence, stand face to face. The finality of the sacred harmony is that, during the search for God inside the human being, He reveals Himself, which is the reason for the affirmation of “I Am that I Am.” Through its hypnotic cyclicality, the profane temporality has its own musicality. Its purpose is to incubate the unsuspected potencies of the beings “caught” in the material world. Due to the fact that it belongs to the aeonic time, the divine music will exceed in harmony the mechanical musicality of profane time, dilating and temporarily cancelling it. Isaiah is witness to such revelation offering access to the heavenly concert. He is witness to divine harmonies produced by two divine singers, whose musical history is presented in our article. The seraphim accompanied the chosen people after their exodus from Egypt. The cultic use of the trumpet is related to the characteristics and behaviour of the seraphim. The seraphic music does not belong to the Creator, but its lyrics speak about the presence of the Creator in two realities, a spiritual and a material one. Only the transcendence of the divine names that are sung/cried affirms a unique reality: God. The chant-cry is a divine invocation with a double aim. On the one hand, the angels and the people affirm God’s presence and call His name and, on the other, the Creator affirms His presence through the angels or in man, the one who is His image and His likeness. The divine music does not only create, it is also a means of communion, implementing the relation of man to God and, thus, God’s connection with man. It is a relation in which both filiation and paternity disappear inside the harmony of the mutual recognition produced by music, a reality much older than Adam’s language.

Cultural Features

The aim of the article is to analyse the elements of folk poetics in the novel Pleasant things. Utopia by T. Bołdak-Janowska. The category of folklore is understood in a rather narrow way, and at the same time it is most often used in critical and literary works as meaning a set of cultural features (customs and rituals, beliefs and rituals, symbols, beliefs and stereotypes) whose carrier is the rural folk. The analysis covers such elements of the work as place, plot, heroes, folk system of values, folk rituals, customs, and symbols. The description is conducted based on the analysis of source material as well as selected works in the field of literary text analysis and ethnolinguistics. The analysis shows that folk poetics was creatively associated with the elements of fairy tales and fantasy in the studied work, and its role consists of – on the one hand – presenting the folk world represented and – on the other – presenting a message about the meaning of human existence.

Abstract: The longstanding effort to develop a people-based regionalism in Southeast Asia has been shaped by an inherent tension between the liberal inclination to privilege the individual and the community under formation, on the one hand, and the realist insistence on the primacy of the state, on the other. This article explores the conditions and constraints affecting ASEAN’s progress in remaking Southeast Asia into a people-focused and caring community in three areas: disaster management, development, and democratization (understood here as human rights). Arguably, the persistent gap in Southeast Asia between aspiration and expectation is determined less by political ideology than by the pragmatic responses of ASEAN member states to the forces of nationalism and protectionism, as well as their respective sense of local and regional responsibility.Resumen: El esfuerzo histórico para desarrollar un regionalismo basado en las personas del sudeste de Asia ha estado marcado por una tensión fundamental entre la inclinación liberal de privilegiar el individuo y la comunidad y la insistencia realista sobre la primacía del estado. Este artículo explora las condiciones y limitaciones que afectan el progreso de la ASEAN en la reestructuración de Asia sudoriental en una comunidad centrada en el cuidado de las personas en: gestión de desastres, desarrollo y democratización (i.e., derechos humanos). La brecha persistente en el sudeste asiático entre la aspiración y la expectativa está determinada por las respuestas pragmáticas de los miembros de la ASEAN sometidos a las fuerzas del nacionalismo y proteccionismo, así como su respectivo sentido de responsabilidad local y regional.Résumé: L’effort historique pour développer un régionalisme fondé sur les peuples en Asie du Sud-Est a été marqué par une tension fondamentale entre l’inclination libérale qui privilégie, d’une part, l’individu et la communauté et, d’autre part, l’insistance réaliste sur la primauté de l’État. Cet article explore les conditions et les contraintes qui nuisent aux progrès de l’ANASE dans le cadre d’une refonte de l’Asie du Sud-Est en une communauté centrée et attentive aux peuples dans trois domaines : la gestion des désastres, le développement et la démocratisation (en référence aux droits humains). Le fossé persistant en Asie du Sud-Est entre les aspirations et les attentes est vraisemblablement moins déterminé par l’idéologie politique que par les réponses pragmatiques des États membres de l’ANASE soumis aux forces du nationalisme et du protectionnisme ainsi que par leur sens respectif de la responsabilité locale et régionale.

This chapter distinguishes between “vertical” and “horizontal” egalitarianism. The vertical and horizontal metaphors differentiate primarily between two types of relationship in which equality is said to play an important role—the “vertical” relationship between state and citizen, on the one hand, and the “horizontal” relationship between or among the people of a society, on the other. But the distinction may be used in a wider way to track several issues around which egalitarian theories tend to diverge: about what a commitment to equality ultimately means; about to whom or what egalitarian principles are meant to apply; about how equality is achieved and what its achievement looks like, and about how theorizing on equality is properly or most promisingly undertaken.

Most critiques of edificatory perfectionism concentrate on the detrimental effects that will be undergone by the people whose lives the edificatory perfectionists are seeking to improve. Chapter 6 shifts the focus to the officials who formulate and implement the policies that produce such effects. On the one hand, Rawlsians and other contractualists quite rightly demur at the disrespect that is shown by edificatory perfectionists toward the putative beneficiaries of the measures which the perfectionists advocate. On the other hand, the contractualists largely neglect to take account of the ways in which the edificatory-perfectionist measures degrade the whole system of governance wherein they occur. Chapter 6 highlights that degradingness as it draws attention to the quidnunc mentality that is evinced by the officials who adopt and administer the laws for which the edificatory perfectionists have called.

In recent years, The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade, a difficult work and for long an unjustly neglected one, has begun to command increasingly greater critical attention and esteem. As more than one contemporary writer has noted, the verdict of the late Richard Chase in 1949, that the novel represents Melville's “second best achievement,” has served to prompt many to undertake a second reading (or at least a first) of the book. Before this time, the novel had traditionally been the one Melville readers have shied away from—as overly discursive, too rambling altogether, on the one hand, or as an unfortunate outgrowth of the author's morbidity on the other. Elizabeth Foster, in the admirably comprehensive introduction to her valuable edition of The Confidence-Man (1954), systematically traces the history of the book's reputation and observes that even with the Melville renaissance of the twenties, the work stands as the last piece of the author's fiction to be redeemed. Only lately, she comments, has it ceased to be regarded as “the ugly duckling” of Melville's creations. But recognition does not imply agreement, and it should not be thought that in the past fifteen years critics have reached any sort of unanimity on the novel's content. Since Mr. Chase's study, which approached the puzzling work as a satire on the American spirit—or, more specifically, as an attack on the liberalism of the day—and which speculated upon the novel's controlling folk and mythic figures, other critics, by now ready to assume that the book repaid careful analysis, have read the work in a variety of ways. It has been treated, among other things, as a religious allegory, as a philosophic satire on optimism, and as a Shandian comedy. One critic has conveniently summarized the prevailing situation by remarking that “the literary, philosophical, and cultural materials in this book are fused in so enigmatic a fashion that its interpreters have differed as to what the book is really about.”
