Full textAbstract:
The desert fathers offer to use today the same pastoral care that they offered those who came seeking health and healing in 3rd century Egypt. Their method of care had authority because it came out of a lifestyle seeped in Christ’s love. Their spiritual practices of prayer, Scriptural reading and intimate relationship provided a healing environment where the sick were made well and the demons were cast out. It was a context of continual spiritual warfare, one where the monks sought to live their lives in the freedom of Christ’s love.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse est une réflexion sur la vitalité de la thématique du désert dans le domaine de la littérature. Cette thématique, dans le cas présent, est indissociable de celle du monachisme primitif, puisque le corpus que nous interrogeons, constitué de : Les Marches de sable, Marie d’Égypte et Macaire Le Copte, se présente comme hagiographique. Le lien entre désert et monachisme dans ces trois romans est au centre de cette réflexion qui s’efforce de comprendre et de mettre en lumière la nécessité pour des écrivains contemporains de reprendre cette thématique. Le désert nous est tantôt apparu comme le lieu de l’expérience spirituelle dans toute son ambivalence : espace de tentation par le diable, mais aussi espace d’élévation ascétique. Tantôt, il est un prétexte qui permet aux écrivains de porter un regard lucide sur la société actuelle, en voie de réification voire tout simplement d’ores et déjà réifiée. Pour finir, le désert nous est apparu comme un moyen pour ces trois écrivains de mettre en évidence leur conception non seulement de l’espace littéraire, qui apparaît de fait comme un espace paradoxal en ce sens qu’il peut à la fois être un espace de partage et un espace de réclusion, mais aussi de l’écrivain et de son travail. Il en ressort que l’écrivain est à l’image de l’ermite, c’est-à-dire une sorte de quêteur d’absoluThis thesis is a thought about the vitality of desert thematic in literature field. In this case, this thematic is inseparable from that of primitive monasticism as the corpus in question; I mean Les Marches de sable, Marie d’Egypte and Macaire Le Copte is presented as hagiographic. Therefore, the link between desert and monasticism in these three novels has led us to identify contemporary writers’ need of keeping bringing up such thematic. The desert has appeared as the place of spiritual experience in all its ambivalence, I mean devil temptation space, but also ascetic elevation space. To the writers, it is also a way to bring a lucid eye to the current society which is being reified because one cannot say only that it is already reified. In conclusion, to these three writers, not only the desert is a way to evidence their conception of literary space which really appears as a paradoxical space as it can at the same time be a sharing and a seclusion space, but also a writer’s workplace. It appears that the writer is image of hermit, that is, he is a sort of absolute seeker

"A spirituality of the heart in the context of the Franciscan eremitical tradition : a scriptural understanding of "heart", "desert", and "conversion" as the basis of this, both historically and in the present day / by Patricia Jordan."

Full textAbstract:
To speak of the heart is to speak a universal language. After a brief examination of
poetry, prose, art and music, we discuss and analyse the word heart in its universal
applicability within different religions, eras, cultures and creeds. Our particular focus is
then centred in Sacred Scripture where we find the most comprehensive understanding
of the word heart. Tracing the depth and richness of its meaning throughout the
Scripture texts, we are faced with the human paradox of good and evil, both of which
proceed from the mysterious realm of the heart where freedom and grace engage us in
ways that are at times beyond our comprehension.
Examining the place of the desert in the process of forming the heart - which we
understand to be the vital, inner core of a person - we highlight the struggle involved in
this process, suggesting as the desert Fathers have before us, that the heart itself is at
times a battlefield. Rooting ourselves in the Sacred Scriptures and in continuity with
the Christian tradition, we introduce St. Francis of Assisi.
Analysing and interpreting St. Francis' journey into his own heart and to the heart of
others, leads us to a consideration of the part the desert plays in this journey. This
analysis is directly related to the active-contemplative question that has been the
subject of debate ever since the time of Jesus in his encounter with Martha and Mary.
Dualistic language and thinking suggests that the different dimensions of life stand in
opposition, leading to an either/or situation rather than an acceptance of a more
integrated both/and approach.
In an effort to avoid dualism and embrace paradox, we facilitate the journey of the heart
towards wholeness and integration, combining theory and practice by bringing the fruit
of this research to completion in The Portiuncula, a centre for Franciscan prayer and
solitude, a new expression of our Third Order Regular Franciscan charism. Developing
an innovative approach to St. Francis Rule for Hermitages, we discuss the significance
of this, not only for members of the Franciscan family but for every person on the
spiritual quest and the journey of the heart.
After the example of St. Francis of Assisi, we have tried to capture the spirit of his
following in the footsteps of the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ. In grappling with the
implications of a literal following of Jesus Christ, and the challenges this poses for
every individual in his or her uniqueness, we enter the realm of mystery, paradox,
freedom and grace: the heart.
Presenting a spirituality of the heart in the context of the biblical understanding of
"heart", "desert", and "conversion", in the context of the Franciscan eremitical tradition,
we continue the universal quest for the fullness of love which is mysteriously contained
in the twofold but unified experience of contemplation and compassion.Thesis (Ph.D. (Dogmatics))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.

Full textAbstract:
Après la fondation de la première chartreuse en 1084 par Bruno de Cologne dans les Alpes, ces monastères, installés au départ dans des sites isolés, furent réputés pour leur austérité. Les moines, qui faisaient vœu de silence, vivaient reclus dans leur cellules la plupart du temps, ne se retrouvant que deux fois par jour pour célébrer la messe. Dans ce cadre, qui a donné lieu à une architecture spécifique, les premières mentions d’œuvres d’art, dans la législation, apparaissent dans la deuxième moitié du XIIIe siècle. Cette période correspondait à la fois à une modification de la structure de l’ordre, prenant en compte l’accroissement du nombre des maisons, et aux premières fondations à proximité des villes. Le rapprochement des centres urbains allait déterminer une relation nouvelle entre les chartreux et leurs bienfaiteurs, exprimée dans les donations d’œuvres d’art en vue de la commémoration. Si de la chartreuse de Vauvert, établie près de Paris en 1259, subsistent surtout des relevés de plaques de fondation et de tombeaux, les commandes d’œuvres d’art pour les chartreuses princières et royales de Champmol et de Miraflores, destinées à recevoir les tombeaux de leurs fondateurs, étaient plus variées. L’implication des chartreux dans l’aménagement du décor de leurs maisons est attestée par les sources. Elle peut être observée lorsqu’ils recevaient les dons d’œuvres d’art de la part de plusieurs bienfaiteurs et elle prend un sens particulier quand les frères commandaient eux-mêmes des tableaux. Dans la spiritualité des chartreux, les œuvres d’art avaient un rôle au sujet duquel les moines, en participant à leur création, pouvaient nous renseignerFollowing the foundation of the first charterhouse by Bruno of Cologne, in 1084, in the Alps, these monasteries, established at first in solitary places, were well-known for their austere conditions. The monks, which had taken a vow of silence, lived isolated in their cells most of the time, meeting each other only twice a day, to celebrate mass. In these monasteries, characterized by their own architecture, the first mentions of artworks, in the legislation, date from the second half of the 13th century. At that time, the structure of the order was being revised by taking into account the multiplication of the charterhouses. Furthermore, the first foundations near cities were then established. This proximity to urban centres would determine a new relationship between Carthusians and their benefactors, visible through the donations of works of art for commemoration. From the charterhouse of Vauvert, established near Paris in 1259, have been preserved mostly drawings of memorial tablets or tombs. Nonetheless, for the princely and royal charterhouses of Champmol and Miraflores, that were to house the tombs of their founders, the commissions of works of art were more varied. The Carthusians’ participation in building the appearance of their monasteries is attested by the sources. This fact may also be observed when the Carthusians received donations of works of art from several benefactors and a special significance is attached to it when the brothers themselves commissioned paintings. In Carthusian spirituality, works of art had a role about which the monks, by involving themselves in their creation, could inform us

The exploration and the manipulation of desire are some of the main brand of consumption culture. In the societies where predominate this culture, the consumption appears as a humanization criterion, and the meaning of life the ethical-mythical core, around in which society organize itself its the wealth accumulation seek to consume more. Some researches have been demonstrating the holy aspects of this culture, which became a real religion of the everyday life, with its devotions, spiritualities, myths, and rituals. At this same aspect, some studies have been demonstrating how this culture determines the pedagogic projects. Theses arent accidentals studies, because religion and education are essential elements in the origin and upkeep of any culture and human society. However it could also be transformation elements. Paulo Freire emphasize with interest in a Desire Pedagogy creation, and comprehend that the desire theme is extremely important in the improvement fight of social exclusion. But unfortunately he hadnt time to couch such pedagogy. The René Girard work reinforces the thesis that religion is an essential process for the human societies, considering the real function in the culture origin. According to Girard, religion is the humanity educationalist in the humanization and socialization process. And his most notable characteristic is exactly to educate the desire, because, due its mimetic nature, is constantly the violence generator. In the research of relations between Religion/ Theology and Education, recently has been accomplished the presupposed theologies and spiritual studies of the educational offers. Even thought that Paulo Freire and René Girard are at different areas, with different projects, there is lots of convergences aspects between them, some even complementary. The dialog between these two authors shows it very profitable in the theme of desire discussion in relation with the spirituality and education. This work is a try to search elements that promote the elaboration of a Desire Pedagogy starting with the contribution of the Religion Science.(AU)
A exploração e a manipulação do desejo são algumas das principais marcas da cultura de consumo. Nas sociedades em que predomina essa cultura, o consumo aparece como critério de humanização, e o sentido da vida o núcleo ético-mítico em torno do qual a sociedade se organiza é a busca de acumulação de riqueza para se consumir cada vez mais. Alguns estudos têm demonstrado os aspectos sagrados dessa cultura, que se tornou uma verdadeira religião da vida cotidiana, com suas devoções, espiritualidades, mitos e ritos. Da mesma forma, alguns estudos vêm demonstrando como essa cultura determina os projetos pedagógicos. Esses estudos não são acidentais, pois religião e educação são elementos fundamentais na origem e na manutenção de qualquer cultura e sociedade humanas. Todavia, podem ser também elementos de transformação. Paulo Freire acena com o interesse pela criação de uma Pedagogia do Desejo, compreendendo que este tema é de fundamental importância na luta pela superação da exclusão social, o que infelizmente não teve tempo de formulá-la. A obra de René Girard reforça a tese de que a religião é um processo fundamental para as sociedades humanas, considerando sua real função na origem da cultura. Segundo Girard, a religião é a educadora da humanidade no processo de humanização e socialização. E sua característica mais notável é justamente a de educar o desejo, pois, devido a sua natureza mimética, constantemente é gerador de violência. Nas pesquisas sobre as relações entre Religião/Teologia e Educação, recentemente tem sido realizado o estudo dos pressupostos teológicos e espirituais das propostas educacionais. Há muitos pontos de convergência entre Paulo Freire e René Girard, alguns até complementares. O diálogo entre esses dois autores se mostra muito profícuo na discussão do tema do desejo em relação com a espiritualidade e a educação. Este trabalho é uma tentativa de buscar elementos que favoreçam a elaboração de uma Pedagogia do Desejo a partir das contribuições das Ciências da Religião.(AU)

Ferluc, Agnès de. "« Cherche[r] quelque ombre d’infinité » : le langage du désir dans les textes de Bossuet." Thesis, Montpellier 3, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014MON30040.
Full textAbstract:
Notion centrale de sa spiritualité, le désir selon Bossuet fait advenir son objet : d'où l'invitation à l'élaguer comme à l'exalter, à la recherche de « l'unique nécessaire ». Héritier de l'Antiquité païenne et chrétienne, augustinien et thomasien plus que cartésien, Bossuet défend la doctrine catholique traditionnelle. Son apologie de l'intérêt propre dans la quête du salut rejoint toutefois des préoccupations propres à son temps. Peut-il évoquer le désir spirituel de manière analogue aux désirs sensibles ? En un siècle où les termes théologiques se laïcisent, sa préférence pour ce mot profane favorise ce lien, même si sa perspective sur les désordres du désir demeure plus métaphysique que celle des moralistes. Naturel et surnaturel, l'élan du désir de Dieu dépasse infiniment le sensible dont il ne peut se déprendre. Cela se traduit dans la rhétorique du prédicateur post-tridentin, qui recourt à des images pédagogiques et imparfaites, ici recensées dans un index. Comme dans le système figural biblique, dispositif attisant le désir d'un accomplissement, leur littéralité est signifiante. Appuyé sur des médiations bibliques et patristiques, l'univers imaginaire de Bossuet est marqué par l'importance de la nature dont l'harmonie chante l'amour de Dieu et par le recours privilégié aux métaphores de l'amour nuptial. Le prédicateur entend susciter ce désir au moyen de son verbe. La délectable musicalité de son éloquence oratoire métaphorise l'orientation du sensible vers Dieu. Ses lettres, sermons et écrits spirituels transmettent l'impetus animant le fidèle et le lyrique langage de sa prière. Car l'expression du désir de Dieu ne peut ici-bas se passer du tâtonnement des motsThe desire is central to Bossuet's spirituality. According to him, desire will make its object come to be : therefore one must control it or exalt it, in the hopes of securing “the one thing needful”. Heir to Pagan and Christian Antiquity, as an Augustinian and Thomist more so than a Cartesian, Bossuet defends traditional Catholic doctrine. His promotion of self-interest in the quest for salvation nevertheless has a relationship with some concerns typical of his time. Could he evoke spiritual desire in an analogous way to carnal desires ? Since, in the seventeenth century, theological terms were frequently rendered secular, his preference for the profane word encourages this analogy, although his perspective on the disorders of desire remains more metaphysical than the Moralists'views. Both natural and surnatural, the momentum of the desire of God infinitely surpasses the sensitive order from which it cannot free itself. This presents itself through the post-Tridentine predicator's rhetoric. He uses pedagogic and imperfect images, here inventoried in an index. As in the biblical figural system, which arouses the desire for an accomplishment, their literalness is meaningful. Fortified by biblical and patristical mediations, Bossuet's imaginary world is marked by the importance of nature (the harmony of which sings the love of God) and a predilection for metaphors of nuptial love. The predicator aims to instigate this love, through his verb. The delectable musicality of his oratorical elo-quence metaphorically represents this orientation of bodily desires towards God. His letters, sermons and spiritual wrintings communicate the impetus animating the faithful and the lyrical language of his prayer. Because in our world one cannot express God's desire without fumbling with words

Full textAbstract:
This article examines early twentieth-century British "Uranian" same-sex sexualities as a distinct entity from other labels for homosexuality. British sexologists, feminists, and other radical socialist/anarchist reformers invoked scientized versions of mysticism and Asian religions to conceptualize different, though intersecting, meanings for the Uranian. Historians of sexuality, however, tend to conflate the term "Uranian" with the other various and conflicting medico-scientific concepts circulating at the time, such as "homosexual," "sexual invert," and "intermediate sex." Overstating the slippage between terms, however, obscures the significance of Uranianism in the history of same-sex eroticism, and reinforces a dichotomy between spirituality and modernity. The Uranian discourses examined here epitomize a "progressive" historical moment that elaborated the scientific origins for the spirit, soul, and a divine will in the constitution of modern sexual/spiritual subjects. In many ways, Uranianism challenged the late nineteenth-century medical-sexological discourses that demarcated the homosexual as a pathological "type" by creating a more fluid understanding of sexuality through the interplay of Edwardian critiques of scientific materialism with New Age ideas about the mind, psyche, and spirituality. That is not to suggest that Uranianism offered an "alternative" (homo)sexuality that was disentangled from pathological discourses; on the contrary, the Uranian discourses implicitly consolidated the "homosexual type." Tracing the genealogy of Uranian sexuality through three case studies illuminates a modern moment when reformers attempted to create fluid sexualities. We find that Uranianism complicates our understandings about the supposedly dominant role of medical-scientific discourses in the construction of early twentieth-century British (homo)sexuality.

Full textAbstract:
The main objective of this master&rsquos thesis is to analyze the place assigned to the phenomenon of desire by Hegel and Spinoza, and to show that the main difference between two philosophers in terms of their understanding of desire and human phenomenon consists in their understanding of the relation between the substance and particulars. In order to fulfill the requirements of this objective, what is focused on is, as different from a certain philosophical thought excluding desire from a true account of human phenomenon due to two aspects of desire, namely being an immediate drive and being purely self-referential, which are not regarded as being capable of explaining the specific distinctness of human being, how Spinoza and Hegel give an account of desire, and how they conceive mentioned aspects of desire. Throughout the thesis, first Spinoza&rsquo
s ontology, as it is elaborated in the Ethics, and the place of the phenomenon of desire in this ontology are explained. Then through an analysis of the fourth chapter of the Phenomenology of Spirit, it is argued that Hegel&rsquo
s conception of desire enables one to conceive the distinctive human institutions such as sociality, morality, and etc., as derivatives of desire. Finally it is argued that, since Hegel conceives the relation between the substance and particulars as a total detachment, he is able to give the spiritual dimension of human phenomenon in terms of desire. In this way moreover the specific distinctness of the human phenomenon is preserved in the philosophy of Hegel.

This study discusses the relationship between spirituality and education for freedom from the anthropological perspective of human mimetic desire as key to the understanding of human relations, and spirituality as a fundamental dimension in the engagement in the battle for transformation of society. Through literature search, it is the analysis of the problem identified by Paulo Freire, that the oppressive "hosted" the oppressed represents an obstacle to the liberation, from the perspective of the theory of mimetic desire of René Girard. Works with the hypothesis that this essential element in anthropological thinking of Paulo Freire, forgotten as his pedagogical proposal assumed a character purely on conscience, refers to the dimension of spirituality. Because the distance between utopia of the liberation and the reality, establishes itself the scene of a crisis that falls not only on formal educators, but also on many of those who, at some point in their lives, whether in the battle for the engagement in social transformation. Since the method is well known, and it is acquire consciousness, the fact that the dreamed transformation has not occurred leads the conclusion that something failed in the process.(AU)
Este estudo discute a relação entre espiritualidade e educação para a liberdade, a partir da perspectiva antropológica da natureza mimeticamente desejante do ser humano como elemento chave para a compreensão das relações humanas, e da espiritualidade como dimensão fundamental para o engajamento na luta pela transformação da sociedade. Por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, procede-se à análise do problema identificado por Paulo Freire, de que o opressor hospedado no oprimido representa um obstáculo para a libertação, sob a ótica da teoria do desejo mimético de René Girard. Trabalha-se com a hipótese de que o elemento antropológico fundamental presente no pensamento de Paulo Freire, esquecido à medida que sua proposta pedagógica assumiu um caráter meramente conscientizador, referese à dimensão da espiritualidade. Diante do abismo que se coloca entre a utopia da libertação e a realidade instaura-se o cenário de crise que recai, não apenas sobre educadores formais, como também sobre muitos daqueles que, em algum momento de suas vidas, se engajaram na luta pela transformação social. Uma vez que o método é sabido, e é conscientizar, o fato de que a transformação sonhada não tenha ocorrido leva a conclusão de que alguma coisa falhou no processo.(AU)

Full textAbstract:
This project report offers an in-depth, detailed account of my creative process and work during my two-year Master in visual communication at Konstfack, Stockholm. My degree project is a celebration of plurality and visual democracy. Starting with identifying different norms pervading the graphic design discipline in the Western world today, both in terms of aesthetic values and systems of thinking, I have worked to propose and visualize alternative possible futures. Drawing has been my main carrier through an intense journey of un-learning and re-learning resulting in an artist’s book in unique copy. With this book, I want to problematize the dominant discourses around objectivity as a utopian ideal with a suppressive agenda, while visualizing a world I can recognize myself in. I have used decoration as a method, emotion and femininity as explorative standpoints, giving space to the metaphorical, the ambiguous and the spiritual to challenge current visual norms. This book emerges as an affirmation of my own quest for visual belonging as a graphic designer and a woman; a testimony of the practice of drawing as actualized power.

Full textAbstract:
La présente étude se donne pour but d'analyser l'œuvre romanesque de Sylvie Germain par le biais du concept d'attente. Notre intérêt a été suscité par l'articulation interne des premiers livres, tributaire de la subtile mise en place d'un réseau proleptique qui est symptomatique non seulement de l'instauration d'un pacte, à la suite duquel le lecteur esquisse son horizon d'attente, mais également d'un effort que l'auteur déploie -consciemment ou non - afin de garder une bonne emprise sur le récit. Si l'écrivain ne développe pas de théorie autour de l'attente et n'en fait pas le pivot de son écriture, les récits abondent en situations qui sont sous-tendues par elle. Le titre de la thèse rend compte des deux niveaux auxquels nous avons interrogé la production romanesque de Sylvie Germain, à savoir textuel et diégétique. Le tout s'organise à partir d'une structure ternaire dont le point de départ est l'ébauche d'une poétique de l'attente reposant principalement sur des avant-textes, sur un appareil paratextuel très dense et sur l'emploi d'anticipations par infusion de détails qui créent un effet d'échos et de correspondances par rapport au développement diégétique. La deuxième partie de notre analyse interroge les multiples manières dont l'attente est vécue par les personnages, psychiquement aussi bien que physiologiquement. Quelle que soit sa forme, l'attente reste une expérience temporelle. La dernière partie de notre étude esquisse un panorama des perceptions du temps à travers cette expérience vécue. Au terme de notre travail, nous espérons avoir réussi un exercice de synthèse à partir d'un concept qui échappe aux règles, ainsi qu'une incursion dans le champ de la temporalité peu abordé par rapport à cette œuvre.

Full textAbstract:
L'architecture spatiale du désert est un principe d'unité par lequel se noue d'une façon novatrice, la rencontre de Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, Ibrahim Al Koni et Rachid Boudjedra, au travers de Désert, La Petite Waw et Timimoun. Une telle topographie apparaît dans ces romans, qui prend pour point de départ le désert, lieu de la transparence et d’un possible retour vers un centre mythique d’avant la création. Ce choix permet d'apprécier les perspectives d'une quête initiatique, d'une géopoétique isomorphe de « lieu de l'u‑topie, du non lieu », qui se constitue chez nos auteurs comme un espace originel et original, foyer de création, tentative de dépassement vers un absolu, qui rejoint, d'une certaine manière, le pôle mythologique du « Paradis perdu » dans le contexte d'un imaginaire cosmique. Ce point central, s'inscrit à la fois au plus profond du désert et de l'être, offre en reflet la vision d'un espace qui abolit toutes les limites et englobe le monde entier? Le texte ici, est une réécriture, une épopée inversée, de la Genèse, la négation de son itinéraire? L'étude interroge les lieux vierges évoqués par le désert : qu'en est-il de leur actualisation au fil des œuvres, et aussi, de leur répercussion sur le tissu même de l'écriture? L'écriture est-elle une destinée à assumer et une lumière à atteindre dans l'alchimie du bonheur parfait? Est-ce que ce lieu de l'expérience transfiguratrice, cet espace de la Terre Promise se révèle être une immensité heureuse? Notre démarche s'intéresse aussi, aux images primordiales suscités par ce voyage vers l'origine pour examiner des thèmes très divers, mais qui obéissent à la même structure. En analysant d'une part, la nature de la dualité des couples opposés, complémentaires, insécables (racines-exil, nature-ville, masculinité-féminité, langage-silence, rêve-réalité, vie-mort, instant-éternité) et d'autre part, les éléments invariants qui la sous-tendent et ses trames fécondes (aventures et épreuves, espace-temps particulier, traversée et errance); un portrait plus profond se fait jourThe spatial architecture of the desert is a principle of unity which is tied by an innovative way of meeting Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, Ibrahim Al Koni and Rachid Boudjedra through Desert, Little Waw and Timimoun. Such topography appears in these novels, which takes as its starting point the desert instead of transparency and a possible return to a mythical center before creation. This choice allows to assess the prospects for an initiatory quest, a geopoetic isomorphic "instead of utopia, the non-place" which is among our authors as an original space and the original home of creation, attempt to overrun an absolute, which joined in some way, the pole mythological "Paradise Lost" in the context of a cosmic imaginary. This central point fits both deep in the desert and be reflected in the vision provides a space that abolishes all limits and encompasses the whole world? The text here is a rewriting an epic reverse of Genesis, a denial of his route? The study questions the virgin places mentioned by the desert what about updating them over the works, and also their impact on the fabric of writing? Writing is her destiny to fulfill and achieve a light in the alchemy of perfect happiness? Is this place transfiguring experience this space to the Promised Land is proving to be an immense happy? Our approach is also interested, the primordial images generated by this journey to examine the origin of very diverse topics, but follow the same structure. By analyzing the one hand, the nature of the duality of opposing pairs, complementary, indivisible (root-exile, nature-city, masculinity-femininity, language, silence, dream-reality, life and death, time-eternity), and on the other hand, the invariant elements that underlie and fruitful fields (adventures and hardships, space-time particular, crossing and wandering), a deeper portrait emerges

Full textAbstract:
Med hjälp av denna vetenskapliga essä undersöker jag hur man kan uppmärksamma och värna leken och glädjen i musicerandet med förskolebarn. Detta belyser jag inte enbart ur barnens perspektiv utan även ur mitt eget och mina kollegors. Med hjälp av berättelser från min vardag på förskolan och utifrån min praktiska kunskap, ger jag en bild av hur detta kan te sig. Dessa berättelser är ett fundament för mina vidare reflektioner. Vad lek och leklust är skärskådar jag genom att bena upp begreppen i mindre beståndsdelar. Jag reflekterar bland annat över förberedelser, stämning, material, att bedöma gränser, stöttning av enskilda barn, att hålla sig öppen, arbetslaget, risken med longörer och nödvändigheten av humor. Den röst som jag huvudsakligen låter komma till tals är Johan Huizingas. Hans idéer om lekens väsen har hjälpt mig att formulera mina egna tankar. Andra får bistå mig för att ytterligare förtydliga, fördjupa och kontrastera mina resonemang.Using this scientific essay, I examine how to recognize and protect the play and the joy of music-making with preschoolers. I highlight this not only from the children's, but also from my own and my colleagues, perspective. With the help of stories from my everyday life at preschool and based on my practical knowledge, I provide a picture of how this may emerge. These stories are the foundation for my further reflections. I scrutinize what play and playfulness are and carefully analyze the phenomenon into smaller parts. I reflect about, among other things, the preparation, atmosphere, materials, assessing rules, the support of individual children, ability to stay open, teamwork, the risk of verbosity and the necessity of humor. The voice that primarily has it's say belongs to Johan Huizinga. His ideas regarding the essence of play has helped me formulate my own thoughts. Others has also helped me to clarify, deepen, and contrast my own reasoning in this essay.

Text in AfrikaansIn this qualitative research study the landscape of the age-old tradition of contemplative spirituality within the context of the reformed tradition was investigated. An empirical study was done to determine the pastoral needs and experiences of Afrikaans speaking believers from the reformed tradition, involved in contemplative spirituality. Questionnaires and qualitative interviews were used for this purpose. The research path has been further shaped by social construction theory as a postmodern approach. This study was born out of my own discovery of the healing qualities of contemplative spirituality and secondly due to the growing demand among Afrikaans speaking reformed believers for exposure to the disciplines of contemplative spirituality. Little research is available on this topic and is it the hope of this research to open new conversations about contemplative spirituality in the Afrikaans reformed tradition.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is an inductive synthesis and study of the spirituality of Adoniram Judson. It argues that the center of Judson's spirituality was a heavenly-minded, self-denying submission to the sovereign will of God, which was motivated by an affectionate desire to please Christ, by obeying his final command revealed in the sacred Scriptures. Chapter 2 surveys Judson's life and the historical, theological, and spiritual contexts that formed him. Chapter 3 argues that the foundation of Judson's missionary spirituality was the Bible. His evangelical activism and conversionism grew out of his bibliocentrism. Chapter 4 contends for an all-consuming vision of God's sovereignty in Judson's piety. His submission to God's will affected his view of suffering, duty, and self-denial. Judson's response to his love for God was a self-denying asceticism. Chapter 5 demonstrates that Judson's interpretation of life's events was through the lens of eternity. His heavenly-mindedness permeated his vision for living and dying. Moreover, his eager expectancy of Christ's imminent millennial glory stimulated his evangelical activism. Chapter 6 highlights Judson's dominant spiritual motivation from his early days to his last days: to please Christ. Expressed many times in letters, journals, tracts, and sermons, Judson's supreme desire was to please him. Chapter 7 summarizes the research questions and the thesis, and it analyzes the unique features of Judson's spirituality. This chapter proposes other needed areas of research in the life and spirituality of Adoniram Judson, which were beyond the scope of this dissertation.

Full textAbstract:
In this investigation key elements of the mysticism of Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880-1906) are compared and contrasted with the mysticism of the Eastern Orthodox Church, and as a result, the true nature of the relationship between their respective mysticism is elucidated. Key doctrines which exhibit a remarkable consonance are: the trinitarian foundation of their mysticism, the indwelling of the Trinity in the human soul, asceticism, desert spirituality, sacrificial love, liturgical spirituality, scriptural spirituality, deification and the doxological nature of their mysticism. Elements of divergence exist within the following: election and predestination, apophatic versus cataphatic mysticism, the Roman Catholic dogma of the immaculate conception of the virgin Mary, and the mode of God's presence in the human soul. Elizabeth's relevance for today is also considered, namely, her ecclesial mission which she now continues in heaven: to intercede for people seeking union with God and to draw people to interior recollection.Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology
