Abstract:
Abstract The 2014 staging and publication of Jonathan Moore’s play Inigo offers a unique commentary on the relationship between acting and spirituality within the Society of Jesus, the official name of the Jesuit Order. Through a close analysis of Moore’s play, this article contends that Jesuit spirituality draws on performative skills to inspire exemplary behavior and foster an embodied and long-lasting response to devotional narratives. In probing post-secular readings of hagiographical drama, the author considers the reasons for the ongoing fascination exerted by saints as stage characters

Abstract:
The research paper at hand conducts a stylistic analysis of James Joyce’s short story, Grace, to explore religious hypocrisy and the myth of spiritual redemption within early 20th-century Irish Catholicism. Since earlier research has only focused on the theological or cultural themes in Grace, this paper fills a significant gap by rigorously examining the story's linguistic and narrative devices using the stylistic model proposed by Leech and Short (2007). Following the stylistic model, the study analyzes the text at four levels; lexis, grammar, figures of speech, and discourse. Evidence from

Abstract:
Beginning with an investigation into forms of aurality used in late fourteenth and early fifteenth-century Middle English devotional literature, this article breaks down journeys of affective piety in both the courtly romance and urban cycle plays. Traditional understandings of genre divisions are super-ceded in the Middle English period by performative spirituality and invocations to the audience/ reader to a contemplative posture. The Wakefield Master and the Gawain poet developed their work in dialogue with Lollard critiques of church excesses. They both show investment in personal expressi

Abstract:
Prayer was at the heart of the anchoritic vocation, as an integrated, embodied spiritual practice. Goscelin of Saint-Bertin’s Book of Consolation offers a complex and flexible model of the praying anchorite through images, exhortations, and recommended practices, reflecting the nature of reclusive prayer as a performative gesture or state. Applying the terminology of “liturgy” proposed by Jean-Yves Lacoste, this essay examines how Eve of Wilton is envisioned at prayer, and encouraged in her life of prayer. This life is inextricably connected, for Goscelin, to the eschatological vision which fo

A better understanding of the multifaceted, dynamic and situated identity of the language learner stands at the center of much current SLA research. One of the main ways in which it is investigated is through the examination of autobiographical language learning histories. In an effort to better understand some of the processes which lead to a motivated, confident and successful language learner and user, this article analyzes the language learning histories of two EFL student-teachers, notable for their commitment to the learning and teaching of English.

Abstract:
This article offers a new perspective on the relations between Ivan the Terrible and the Orthodox Church by examining the cultural and anthropological context of the resignation of Metropolitan Afanasii in 1566. Historians usually think that Afanasii, who headed the Orthodox Church from 1564 to 1566, resigned because of his disapproval of the Oprichnina terror. Correspondingly, most historians are skeptical about the official reason for Afanasii’s resignation, his illness. On the basis of a critical reassessment of existing sources from the perspective of Muscovite attitudes to illness, this p

R.K. Narayan's The Guide (1958) is a transformation journey through the protagonist Raju, which is a masterpiece of profound analysis on human ethics, by intertwining morals, deception, and self-discovery. This paper explores how Raju’s transition away from a duplicitous tour guide to an unexpected spiritual figure illustrates the flexibility of moral norms. Raju's spiritual development, contextualized in the sociocultural milieu of postcolonial India, deals with the tussle between egoism and altruism and the conventions that dictate identity and restitution.

In this article I reflect on the deployment of crass vandalism in contemporary decolonial and anti-racist struggles, as exemplified by the recent activist campaign against Belgium’s colonialist patrimony. Through a consideration of two internal, “enlightened” critiques of such vandalist activism, I argue that an irresolvable, recurrent conflict between two fundamental performative politics, based on the performance of civility and barbarity respectively, plays itself out here. In recourse to arguments by Benjamin, Žižek, Jameson and Fanon, I offer a redemptive critique of the second type of po

Abstract This essay examines the notion of Narrentum (foolishness) in Franz Kafka’s writings, reflecting Walter Benjamin’s engagement with the legacy of Kafka’s fools. The Narr, associated with playfulness, irony, and resistance, provides a comic perspective on the question of being-Jewish. Alongside its Germanic, mostly Baroque, heritage, the Narr incorporates traditional Jewish tropes, primarily rooted in Aggadic traditions. However, in Kafka’s world, the Narr embodies performative skills also linked to Yiddish theatre. In Benjamin’s readings, Kafka’s Narr is associated with the crisis of mo

Equal protection law operates within a narrative structure of fall and redemption. Framed as a repudiation of race, color-blind constitutionalism appears to enact this redemption by aspiring to transcend racial consciousness. And yet prohibitions against racial classification in fact serve to heighten and preserve racial awareness, in direct contradiction of their stated goals and justification. This chapter examines the narrative structure and constraints of equal protection law, within which efforts to achieve racial equality appear as equivalent to state-sponsored racial segregation.

It then analyses NLF meetings as a type of collective ritual, which comprises four components: erection of symbolic boundaries, demarcation of a distinct social environment, the performative uses of storytelling, and practices of self-cultivation.

This chapter examines the madrasa scholars' commitment to a linear understanding of knowledge. Muslim traditionalists in South Asia struggle to hold on to both the imperative of piety and the modern challenge to have the broadest grounding in knowledge. But the aspiration to integrate the full panoply of knowledge remains a struggle. A minority of voices have questioned whether madrasas should exclusively focus on knowledge of salvation as a priority, which remains the default position. The absence of modern knowledge from madrasa curricula results in intellectual deficits. Knowledge is a cove
