Although the reception of the Eastern father Gregory of Nyssa has varied over the centuries, the past few decades have witnessed a profound awakening of interest in his thought, particularly in relation to the contentious issues of gender, sex, and sexuality. The Body and Desire sets out to retrieve the full range of Gregory’s thinking on the challenges of the ascetic life through a diachronic analysis of his oeuvre. Exploring his understanding of the importance of bodily and spiritual maturation in the practices of contemplation and virtue, Raphael Cadenhead recovers the vital relevance of this vision of transformation for contemporary ethical discourse.

He contributed to social reformation by taking up modern interpretation of selected verses of the Qur’an in a way suitable for all types of groups and sections of Algerian society at that time. The bitter Algerian reality during the period of French occupation led Ibn Badis to carry policy of changing Islamic reformist discourse from time to time with intention of confronting brutal French occupation which was attempting to obliterate foundations of Algerian nation; and tearing its history, identity, culture, and religious and linguistic unity, through several fronts and areas. This research aims to excogitate faces of the reformist message of Imam Ibn Badis in his exegesis discusses the concept of the message and its importance in the reform under six main aspects: doctrinal discourse, jurisprudential discourse, ethical discourse, reminder discourse, historical discourse, and social discourse. The research methods applied in the study include descriptive, analytical, and inductive. Key words: Abdelhamid bin Badis, The Faces of the Reformist Discourse, Social Reform, Te Islamic Discourse, Foundations.

This study applies a qualitative analysis of Fogarty's [1992] application of institutional theory to an individual's socialization in the American public accountancy profession in an historical context. The Ethics of the Profession, a book published by the American Institute of Accountants (AIA) in 1931, is examined to identify the normative, mimetic, and coercive socialization mechanisms embedded within. Both informal and formal code-based ethical discourse is contained in the book. This reflects the AIA's status as one of two competing national professional organizations and the only organization with a promulgated code of conduct. The results indicate use of embedded historical linguistic terms to delineate professional self-image and use of normative and mimetic socialization mechanisms in this effort to instill professional ideals into new entrants to the profession.
