The root of both is Augustinian theology as interpreted by Calvin, and by Jansen after him. \"In its doctrine of hereditary corruption, universal deprivation, and complete loss of spiritual freedom on the part of man,\" says one authoritative source, \"Calvin takes over almost unchanged the doctrine of Augustine.\" Similarly, says another, \"Jansen adopted in their entirety the most rigid of St. Augustine's formulas, and adhered especially... to the most rigid [gratuitous predestination]....\" In treating of the Fall of man Jansen assumed \"a very pessimistic standpoint in which he presented as absolute the power of concupiscence over free will, thenceforth inclined to sin.\" The doctrine of predestination affirmed by Calvin and Jansen raised thorny problems of divine grace for orthodox theologians. Given the total depravity of man since the Fall — not only in his spiritual nature but also in his human powers of intellection and will — then \"all man's works are contaminated by sin\" (NCE, II, 1092), and human activity is impotent to establish a proper relationship with god. It is an image of man corrupted into a \"horrible deformity,\" as Calvin put it. Salvation then, is absolutely in the divine will and not at all in man's merits and good works, for predestination either to election or reprobation is presented as independent of God's foreknowledge of individual merit.","PeriodicalId":372789,"journal":{"name":"Life Within Limits","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124975725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Out of print for almost thirty years—due largely to initial audiences’ rejection of its strong black female protagonist—Hurston’s classic has since its 1978 reissue become perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of AfricanAmerican literature.","PeriodicalId":372789,"journal":{"name":"Life Within Limits","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114159284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Slash wurde von Jeannette Armstrong im Jahr 1985 veroffentlicht und beschreibt in oftmals aggressivem und hitzigen Ton die „Red Power“ Bewegung in Kanada und den Vereinigten Staaten aus der Sicht eines mannlichen Protagonisten. Thomas Kings Roman Medicine River (1989) schildert den Alltag eines indigenen Fotografen, der nach dem Tod seiner Mutter an den Rand seines Heimatreservats zuruckkehrt und dort langsam zu einem wichtigen Teil der indigenen Gesellschaft wird. In Monkey Beach (2000) berichtet die Autorin Eden Robinson vom Leben eines indigenen Madchens, das die Fahigkeit besitzt, mit den Geistern ihrer Vorfahren zu kommunizieren und Ereignisse vorherzusehen. Mit deren Hilfe erfahrt sie Elemente ihrer Kultur und lernt durch ihre Grosmutter, die kulturellen Traditionen weiterzufuhren. \u0000In meiner Arbeit lasst sich feststellen, dass die drei Romane sehr unterschiedlich sind in ihrer Struktur und den stilistischen Elementen, dass andererseits aber auch Parallelen in den Thematiken aufgezeigt werden konnen. Ich beleuchte in meiner Analyse der Bucher, dass dies Themen sind, die haufig in der Literatur der First Nations zu finden sind; unter anderem die Abhandlung von politischen Ereignissen (vor allem die Politik der aktiven Phase des „Red Power“ Bewegungen in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren) sowie die Suche des Protagonisten nach der eigenen Identitat, welche sich ublicherweise in Verbindung mit der indigenen Gemeinschaft und dem Heimatort vollzieht.","PeriodicalId":372789,"journal":{"name":"Life Within Limits","volume":"8 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129363833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
