TL;DR: Theology as understanding reality - thinking differently, acting differently: Notes about the theology of Johan Buitendag as mentioned in this paper investigates the theological contours delineated from the publications of the systematic theologian.
Abstract: Theology as understanding reality – thinking differently, acting differently: Notes about the theology of Johan Buitendag. The article investigates the theological contours delineated from the publications of the systematic theologian Johan Buitendag. His theology represents a relational integrity of ontology, epistemology and ethics. It can be characterised as an existential ecotheology. In the introduction this rhizome (epistemological metaphor borrowed from Giles Deleuze and Felix Guattari) existence in Buitendag’s theology is discussed. The article consists of nine sections: the hermeneutical circle as introduction; the polemic attitude of Karl Barth with regard to a theologia naturalis ; understanding the notion paradigm; being church as a relational event; engaged epistemology; existential theo-anthropology and ecotheology; existential ecclesiology; existential engagement; and an autobiographical reflection.

TL;DR: The incorporation of World War II experiences in the life stories of Alumni from the Vrije University in Amsterdam is explored in this article. But the authors do not consider the role of early memories in the analysis of narratives.
Abstract: The Incorporation of World War II Experiences in the Life Stories of Alumni from the Vrije University in Amsterdam: An Exploration at the Crossroads Between Narrative, Identity, and Culture. (August 2007) Roemer Maarten Sander Visser, M.A., Vrije Universiteit Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. M. Carolyn Clark Dr. G. Patrick Slattery, Jr. For this study, twelve life stories of alumni from the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, who were enrolled during the Nazi Occupation between 1940 and 1945, were collected and analyzed. Besides exploring the extent to which the interviews were co-constructed jointly by the interviewer and interviewees, this study addresses three questions. First, it acknowledges methodological concerns associated with an overabundance of narrative data, and suggests a new method for arriving at a core narrative based on the distribution of time. This core narrative can then be analyzed further. Second, it is suggested that early memories serve as identity claims; because of their congruency with the remainder of the story, they appear to foreshadow what is to come. As a result, it is argued that childhood memories merit special attention in the analysis of narratives. Third, and finally, the constraints on narratives imposed by cultural conventions, or master narratives, are explored. Narrators use a variety of strategies in order to satisfy sometimes competing demands on their narratives. It is argued that culture makes its influence felt in ways that are not always obvious, particularly if the interviewee and interviewer share the same culture.

TL;DR: This dissertation explores the field of knowledge management (KM), particularly its relationship to the related study of artificial intelligence (AI), and then recommends a KM software application based on the principles of narratology and narrative information exchange.
Abstract: Technical and professional communicators have in recent research been challenged to make significant contributions to the field of knowledge management, and to learn or create the new technologies allowing them to do so. The purpose of this dissertation is to make such a combined theoretical and applied contribution from the context of the emerging discipline of Texts and Technology.
This dissertation explores the field of knowledge management (KM), particularly its relationship to the related study of artificial intelligence (AI), and then recommends a KM software application based on the principles of narratology and narrative information exchange. The focus of knowledge is shifted from the reductive approach of data and information to a holistic approach of meaning and the way people make sense of complex events as experiences expressed in stories. Such an analysis requires a discussion of the evolution of intelligent systems and narrative theory as well as an examination of existing computerized and non-computerized storytelling systems. After a thorough discussion of these issues, an original software program that is used to collect, analyze, and distribute thematic stories within any hierarchical organization is modeled, exemplified, and explained in detail.

TL;DR: In this paper, Hardy's Christian "God" is responding to the pagan "Goddess" who complains of a Gothic cathedral erected on the site of her "boiling" "springs." Invoking historical priority, the Goddess implores "Jove" to remove the Christian temple; and Hardy's "God", addressing the demand with the sober, resigned account of historical deities as the perpetual and perpetually unstable projec tions of desire.
Abstract: For readers of Hardy's poems or novels, the phrasing of history as the "twitching" of desire is so expected that it earns the status of a signature. In this instance, Hardy's Christian "God" is responding to the pagan "Goddess" who complains of a Gothic cathedral erected on the site of her "boiling" "springs." Invoking historical priority, the Goddess implores "Jove" to remove the Christian temple; and Hardy's "God" addresses the demand with the sober, resigned account of historical deities as the perpetual?and perpetually unstable?projec tions of desire: "we are images both?twitched by people's desires." The impermanence of faith is stressed from the outset, for the recorded exchange is not witnessed ("Nothing was seen"), but merely "over heard," the fading echo of "a song men yesterday sang." Compressed in these lines are issues present throughout Hardy's work concerning the demands of history and their consequences: the de mands placed upon history and the demands to historicize. These demands are more than thematic, for they comprise the very "problem atic" of Hardy's narrative and poetic project.1 The problematic is, moreover, doubly historical: throughout Hardy's work, history functions both as an object of representation and as the condition of representa tion itself. The double demand?and potential double bind?of history is marked in "Aquae Sulis" by deep uncertainty and ambivalence: the wayward and unpredictable course of desire, the fragility of the past, and the unstable status of the past as aesthetic object, as "song." This poetic exchange regarding the status of history and its inscrip tion in physical "sites" is as emblematic of Hardy's prose as it is his poetry; and it demonstrates that the attention to historical "sites'*

01 Nov 2021TL;DR: The authors introduce the dominant theoretical frameworks to the NLP community, situate current research in NLP within distinct narratological traditions, and argue that linking computational work in natural language processing to theory opens up a range of new empirical questions that would both help advance our understanding of narrative and open up new practical applications.
Abstract: Over the past decade, the field of natural language processing has developed a wide array of computational methods for reasoning about narrative, including summarization, commonsense inference, and event detection. While this work has brought an important empirical lens for examining narrative, it is by and large divorced from the large body of theoretical work on narrative within the humanities, social and cognitive sciences. In this position paper, we introduce the dominant theoretical frameworks to the NLP community, situate current research in NLP within distinct narratological traditions, and argue that linking computational work in NLP to theory opens up a range of new empirical questions that would both help advance our understanding of narrative and open up new practical applications.
