Full textThroughout the centuries, Mary Magdalene has occupied a unique position within the religious history of the West as the woman who has carried the collective Shadow of Christianity. In every epoch, Mary Magdalene stands at the crossroads of cultural tension and psychological paradox, holding countless images, projections and societal concerns, inspiring millions of acts of devotion and masterworks of art and music.
This dissertation explores the mythology of Mary Magdalene from her earliest appearances as the faithful witness, disciple and apostle in the New Testament and apocryphal gospels through her later legends as a prostitute, contemplative hermit, princess and priestess, with particular attention paid to artistic and musical portrayals. I suggest that the emerging composite portrait of the 21st century is a healing image of wholeness that integrates all four aspects of the female psyche articulated by Toni Wolff (the Hetaira, Mother, Medial and Amazon) and that Mary Magdalene points the way to a reclamation of the sacred feminine and a reinvigoration of spiritual life.
Magdalene as an icon and mirror of cultural transformation is evident in recent contemporary classical music works, particularly in Mark Adamo's opera The Gospel of Mary Magdalene. My experiences as resident mythologist for the San Francisco Opera during the world premiere of this work form the basis for my observations of the enormous transformational impact of images and stories of Mary Magdalene drawn from the apocryphal gospels and Gnostic tradition. Magdalene as woman who embodies anthropos, or full humanity, has become a catalyzing bridge for individual personal development and communities of diverse scholars and seekers.
This dissertation culminates with a multimedia dramatic production inspired by Medieval mystery plays. The Passion of Mary Magdalene interweaves Taize chants, instrumental music of Estonian composer Arvo Part, traditional Christian hymns and my original compositions with a text drawn from both the Canonical Gospel and the Gospel of Mary and includes images taken from pilgrimages to Mary Magdalene sites in France.

Full textThe novels The Gospel According to Jesus Christ by José Saramago and The Gospel of Barrabas by Jose Roberto Torero and Marcus Aurelius Pimenta dialogue with the biblical text as a parody of the canonical gospels. The present study aims at analyzing the characters Mary of Magdala and Mary Magdalene, respectively, in order to check how close they are and at the same time how different they are from the figure of Magdalene from the Holy Bible as well as what differences and similarities exist between them. In order to achieve this objective, this study considers the studies of Comparative Literature, more precisely, Bakhtin s Dialogic Theory. Moreover, it enters into issues of multiple identities and gender in order to verify in what sense male and female coexist and complement each other and how the displacement of identities helps to construct the subject, regarding the self-consciousness which the characters give to one another through the contact with the other.
Os romances O Evangelho segundo Jesus Cristo, de José Saramago e O Evangelho de Barrabás, de José Roberto Torero e Marcus Aurelius Pimenta travam um diálogo com o texto bíblico, sendo paródia dos evangelhos canônicos. O presente estudo visa analisar as personagens Maria de Magdala e Maria Magdalena, respectivamente, almejando verificar em que sentido elas se aproximam e, ao mesmo tempo, se distanciam da figura da Madalena bíblica e o que há de semelhante e diferente entre elas. Para tal, parte dos estudos de Literatura Comparada, mais precisamente, da teoria do dialogismo bakhtiniano. Ademais, adentra em questões de identidades múltiplas e de gênero para verificar em que sentido o masculino e o feminino convivem e se complementam e de como o deslocamento das identidades auxilia no processo de construção do sujeito, no que tange à autoconsciência que as personagens dão umas às outras através do contato com o outro.

Full textThe objective of this study is to research women s leadership in the primitive Christianity, starting from the figure of Mary Magdalene in Jo 20,1-18. The exegetic, view as well as research on women s situation in the first century, show: a) Women that followed Jesus were part of the disciples group, and Mary Magdalene had strong influence among them in the community; b) she accompanied Jesus since the beginning of his ministry in Galilee, and her leadership and authority in primitive Christianity conferred her the disciple status c) the Pericope that is studied has as a fundamental concept the conflict of leaderships among three traditions: John s, the Peter s and Mary Magdalene s. Comparing the Pericopes of John with certain Gnostic writings, its noticeable that in these writings Mary Magdalene s leadership is manifested with stronger intensity, and the conflict with Peter is more accentuated. She is considered the Master of the disciples. The research not only rescues the leader figure of Christianity, but also shows, via the exegesis, the process of the cooptation of women s leadership.(AU)
O objetivo deste trabalho é pesquisar a liderança das mulheres no cristianismo primitivo, a partir da figura de Maria Madalena em Jo 20,1-18. A abordagem exegética, bem como a pesquisa sobre a situação das mulheres no primeiro século, aponta: a) as mulheres que seguiam a Jesus faziam parte do grupo dos discípulos, e Maria Madalena tinha uma grande influência entre eles na comunidade; b) ela acompanhou Jesus desde o início do seu ministério na Galiléia, e a sua liderança e autoridade no cristianismo primitivo lhe confere o status de discípula; c) a perícope estudada tem como contexto um conflito de lideranças entre três tradições: a joanina, a petrina e a de Maria Madalena. Comparando a perícope joanina com alguns escritos gnósticos percebemos que nesses escritos, a liderança de Maria Madalena é manifestada com maior intensidade e o conflito com Pedro é mais acentuado. Ela é considerada Mestra dos discípulos. A pesquisa não só resgata a figura de uma líder do cristianismo, como também mostra, na exegese, o processo de cooptação da liderança feminina.(AU)

Full textThe doctoral research work I am involved in, is based on that undertaken during my Master's Thesis at the Sorbonne in France, which dealt with the story of the conversion to Judaism of Queen Helena of Adiabene, who lived in the first century AD, in northern Mesopotamia and in Judea, as related by three different sources: Flavius Josephus, a Jewish historian who lived at the same time as this queen, rabbinical literature and archaeological discoveries. The conversion of the queen and her family was "one of the most remarkable in the first half of the first century".Toledot Yeshu are anonymous manuscripts written in the Middle Ages, according to the opinion of most of the Searchers, and which tell a different story than the one we know in the Gospels about the life of Jesus. In the "Helena" version of Toledot Yeshu, the most common one, Jesus talks to a queen, her name is Helene. She testifies to the death of Jesus and that he was not resurrected.Toledot Yeshu are a counter-story to the Gospels. In the Gospels, the woman who testifies to Jesus's death and to his resurrection is Mary Magdalene.How can we explain that the only witness female who is by Jesus's side at the time of his death, is different in the two stories about his life, in the Gospels and in the Toledot Yeshu? In my research work, I bring arguments aiming to prove that the queen Helena we are talking about in the Toledot Yeshu, is not other than the Queen Helena of Adiabene, who lived in Jerusalem in the first half of the first century, at the time of Jesus. In the second phase of my thesis, I highlight the connection between the heroine of the Christian Gospels, Mary Magdalene, and the heroine of Toledot Yeshu, the Christian Gospels' counter-story, i.e. Queen Helena (of Adiabene).When we compare the two iconic figures of Judaism and Christianity, we discover many important similarities and analogies between them: "singular and unique characteristics", which they have in common in different fields (physical, personality, actions, life episodes, name).Too many analogies, which cannot be the result of mere chance, bring the two women together and confuse them. Queen Helena was known in her time because she helped the needy and was devout in the new religion she had chosen to convert to, Judaism.The rabbis saw in Queen Helena an example, a model of conversion and devotion. The Hellenists and the Romans appreciated the worship and the cult of heroes, even from the countries they conquered, turning them into gods. From these facts, a question arises: can we think that the image of Mary Magdalene as known in the Gospels, was built on the one of Queen Helena of Adiabene, turning Queen Helena of Adiabene's story into Mary Magdalene's myth?

Full textThe Foundation of the Good Shepherd was set up by Mother Marie-Euphrasie in the XIX!h century. The specificmission of the order was to take care of the poor, and particularly of women and children, to ease their distress, givethem support and encourage them to make their way back into society. ln the UK, the Good Shepherd institutes were known as Magdalen Asylums, for the biblical figure of Mary Magdalene, a repentant sinner who became a disciple of Christ; the vocation of these Magdalen institutions was to shelter prostitutes and single mothers. They quickly came to specialise in laundry work- a symbolic task, as these women had above all to wash away their sins. During the reign of Queen Victoria, puritanism became more severe, and the figure of Mary Magdalena came to embody the "whore", the "fallen" woman. Three Acts of Parliament were passed to curb the expansion of prostitution and venereal diseases. Il was only in the late 1990s that voices were raised to denounce the abuse and ill-treatment committed in some of these institutions, voices that were soon picked up and amplified in a number of films, and in particular Peter Mullan's The Magdalena Sisters. The aim of this study is to understand why such things happened, and to study the role played by the media in the process of their exposure and to what extent they can be said to make History

The thesis examines the representation of Mary Magdalene in saint’s legends, devotional writings, and plays in the area of East Anglia from mid fourteenth century to the early sixteenth century. Three major texts will be discussed in the thesis including Julian of Norwich’s Revelations of Divine Love, Margery Kempe’s Book of Margery Kempe, and the Digby Mary Magdalene. The thesis attempts to re-capsulate a moment in time in which via Mary Magdalene as cultural symbol, religious women could be empowered with a voice, writers and playwrights could explore the boundary of gender roles for women and the ecclesiastics and laity could respond to socio-political issues concerning practices of lay piety at the time. Most important of all, through the representations of Mary Magdalene embedded in the associated community of female saints in East Anglia, we are enabled to observe how St. Mary Magdalene is interrelated with images of other saints worshipped in East Anglia. It is also through the veneration of Mary Magdalene and the community of female saints in East Anglia, we get a glimpse of how saints as the intercessors between heaven and earth are conceived as religious and cultural symbols and how these symbols in the surveyed texts are perceived, appropriated and interpreted by writers, playwrights, readers, and audiences so as to respond to socio-political religious issues in East Anglian communities The thesis is divided into four chapters. Chapter One provides a concise survey of the development of the images of Mary Magdalene from the earliest biblical accounts to a wide dissemination of the legends and literary texts in Europe and in England. Chapter Two explores the representation of the three female saints, Mary Magdalene, Virgin Mary and St. Cecilia, in relation to Julian of Norwich’s positive theology and social milieu of East Anglia during Julian’s lifetime. Chapter Three examines the making of St. Margery Kempe in the Book of Margery Kempe in relation to various kinds of imitatio and the images of female saints. Chapter Four investigates the ways the playwright weaves the biblical image of Mary Magdalene, her life in post-ascension legend and the elements from morality plays to represent a version of Mary Magdalene, who is not only a lady, a hero but also the apostle to the apostles. Lastly, with the survey of the representation of Mary Magdalene and the community of female saints, the thesis argues that parallel with the Chaucerian tradition that emulates the ancient Greco-Romano tradition, there exists a marked trend of literary and religious movement in East Anglian communities, which is attentive to the worship of female saints and from the representations of female saints, they find a ground that enables their voices to participate in discourses on religiosity, society and politics in late medieval England.

Translation is an influential tool. As the Jesuits arrived in China in 1583, they translated to teach the Catholic faith to Chinese people. Publications of the Jesuits’ Chinese translation of the Catholic doctrine and hagiographical accounts were available to the Chinese readers in the early seventeenth century. In attending to both the Chinese literati and common people, the Jesuits downplayed traits that were discouraged and promoted those that were valued in Confucian China in their Chinese works. The study concerns the images of Mary Magdalene trans-written by Alfonso Vagnone (1566-1640) in early seventeenth-century China. To study the images of the Magdalene, I focus on the account ‘de sancta Maria Magdalena,’ or SMM in Legenda Aurea, or LA and the first Chinese translation of the account of Mary Magdalene Magdalene, Maliya Madalena shengfu xingshi, or MMSX in Tianzhu shengjiao shengren xingshi 天主聖教聖人行實 (Biographies of Catholic saints), or SRXS hereafter (1629). The purpose of this study is two-fold. The first purpose is to bridge the study of Mary Magdalene in China with the Western Magdalenian scholarship. The second purpose is to contribute to the scholarship of SRXS with the study of MMSX from the perspective of translation. Current scholarship of SRXS suggests that Jacobus de Voragine’s (c. 1230-1298) LA might be the source text of SRXS, however, disparities between SMM and MMSX abound. For one, LA offers models of repentance and deepens the Christian faith for the laity in Catholic Europe whereas SRXS introduces Catholicism and examples of saints to the late-Ming Chinese readers. Furthermore, disparities between Mary Magdalene and her Chinese persona demonstrate the transformation of the images of the Magdalene from her birthplace to the Middle Kingdom. In addition, the differences between MMSX and SMM lead to a discovery of an additional source text Vagnone referred to in compiling SRXS. Lastly, the discussion of Vagnone’s involvement in “translating” and “narrating” MMSX explains how translation rewrites and manipulates the images of the Magdalene in China. Close textual analysis and study of factors that influence the presentation of MMSX and publication of SRXS show that by trans-writing “the original,” Vagnone “rewrote” the images of the Magdalene and created acculturated images of Madalean to the Chinese readership.

Natomiast na drugim biegunie chronologicznym znajdujemy tekst o charakterze dramatycznym autorstwa Józefa Jankowskiego, który pochodzi z roku 1928, lecz swymi korzeniami wyraźnie sięga Młodej Polski i Romantyzmu. „Przełomowość”, jest tu więc kategorią dość szeroką, jednak wszystkie dramaty analizowane w pracy różnią się od dramaturgii mieszczańskiej epoki pozytywizmu. Wszystkie łączy też to, że tytułowa bohaterka zawieszona jest między dominium wartości duchowych a pełną pokus sferą cielesności, zaś autorzy badanych tekstów śmiało eksperymentują nie tyle z formą dramatyczną, ile z możliwościami, jakie daje kreacja głównej bohaterki. Dla moich badań szczególnie ważna, ale też jeszcze być może ryzykowana interpretacyjnie, byłaby kategoria dziewiętnastowieczności, definiowana w pracach między innymi Józefa Bachórza, Aliny Kowalczykowej, Tomasza Sobieraja, Anny Janickiej i Ewy Paczoskiej jako wspólna, dość różnokształtna, ale spojona estetycznie i poprzez wspólnotę doświadczeń historycznych przestrzeń literacka lat 1795 – 1918. W istocie dramaty Ostrowskiego, Szandlerowskiego, a nawet późniejszy utwór Jankowskiego, wykazują niemałe podobieństwa właśnie, jako wytwory formacji XIX-wiecznej pojętej jako pełna całość. Konkluzje ostateczne zamykają rozprawę nad kreacją biblijnej Marii Magdaleny w dramacie polskim przełomu XIX i XX wieku i zarysowują pewne propozycje interpretacyjne. Jedno z pytań badawczych niniejszej rozprawy dotyczyło kwestii: kim jest Maria Magdalena, gdy stoi „u granic”, a kim się staje po ich przekroczeniu. W analizowanych dramatach jej życie przed „przekroczeniem granicy” było grzeszne, przepełnione cielesnością, erosem, ale już życie po „przekroczeniu granicy” staje się wypełnione du-chowością i czystą miłością. Związane jest to z problematyką ciała, sposobem jego przedstawiania, łamaniem stereotypów – wszystkim, co miało szokować odbiorcę i popychać do przekraczania granic estetycznych i moralnych. Z jednej strony zaczęły pojawiać się perwersyjne opisy łączące seksualność z duchowością, a z drugiej strony – koncepcja odkrywania i eksponowania natury człowieka i jego instynktownych zachowań. Szczególnym zainteresowaniem cieszyło się przekonanie o nieodpartej sile namiętności, seksu i erotyzmu. Sam akt erotyczny jest przedstawiany w zupełnie innej tonacji. Nie ma tu mowy o idealistycznym „związku dusz”, lecz mówi się o spotkaniu ciał na tle intensywnych zmysłowych doznań. W obrazie erotyki z drugiej połowy XIX wieku przełomu wieków XIX i XX uwagę przykuwa przede wszystkim wątek miłości niszczącej, fatalnej, będącej przedmiotem badań. Takie ujęcie kobiecości miało wpływ na twórców romantycznych oraz młodopolskich. Bowiem recepcja dramaturgicznej kreacji biblijnej Marii Magdaleny dowodzi, iż zyskała ona „twarz” kobiety fatalnej.

The subject and the research theme of this thesis concerns the motif of Mary Magdalene in late romantic and Young Poland drama. As the title of the thesis shows the category of the turn of the 19th and 20th century does not only contain Young Poland drama. Krystyn Ostrowski’s (born 1811) drama about Mary Magdalene can be classified as late romantic and is an equal part of the thesis (It was publishd in 1876 in Dzieła Polskie Krystyna Ostrowskiego. Dramata i komedie. Ulotne jamby – nowe fraszki – dodatek). Ostrowski’s drama joins romantic elements with those from the second half of the 20th century – he reinterprets Mary Magdalene themes with heterodoxy. Young Poland part of my research is focused on the works of Antoni Szandlerowski, Karol Hubert Rostworowski and Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer. The work of Józef Jankowski, from 1928, is on the other side of chronological timeline but it is clearly rooted in Young Poland and Romanticism. The expression ‘at the turn of the century’ is quite a broad category but all of the analyzed dramas differ from bourgeois positivism. All these dramas also present the main character as torn between spiritual values and temptation and lust. The authors experiment not only with drama form but also with the possibilities given by the creations of the main protagonists. The most important definition of ‘nineteenth centuryness’, also considered the most risky one, is the definition present in the works of Józef Bachórz, Alina Kowalczykowa, Tomasz Sobieraj, Anna Janicka and Ewa Paczoska . It is a joint literary space, varied in shape but common for historical experiences from 1795 to 1918. The dramas of Ostrowski, Szandlerowski and even the later work of Jankowski all share many similarities as the works of nineteenth centuryness presented as a wholeness. The conclusions closing the thesis about the creation of biblical Mary Magdalene in Polish drama at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth century present some proposals for interpretation. One of the research questions was who is Mary Magdalene before she crosses the line and who does she become when she actually does that. In the analyzed dramas her life before crossing the line was filled with eroticism and carnality. But when she crosses the line her life becomes full of spirituality and pure love. These issues were connected with the body image, the way it was presented, the breaking of stereotypes- everything was to shock the recepient and make him cross esthetic and moral boarders. On one hand there were perverse description of sexuality and spirituality and on the other the conception of discovering and showing human nature with its instinct behaviour. The irresistable power of passion sex and eroticism was particularly interesting. The erotic act itself is presented in a different perspective. It is not an idealistic soul relationship but the intense sensual meeting of bodies. Description of eroticism from the second half of the nineteenth century and the turn of nineteenth and twentieth century shows love as a destructive fatal power. Such conceptualization of womanhood influenced romantic and young Poland playwrights. Biblical Mary Magdalene as drama protagonist is perceived as famme fatale. See.
