Loustau, Marc Roscoe. "Devotions of Desire: Changing Gods, Changing People at a Transylvanian Pilgrimage Site." Thesis, Harvard University, 2015. http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:15821961.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation describes how desiring subjects make devotional worlds in times of radical change. I argue that what is centrally at stake for people who pass through the Şumuleu Ciuc (Hungarian: Csíksomlyó) pilgrimage site in Transylvania, Romania is the question of what makes a good Catholic in relation to the Virgin Mary. Disputes about this question revolve around notions of the desiring subject: What role should forms of sexual, material, and affective self-interest – or lack thereof – play in the life of Mary’s devotees and the life of the Mother of God herself? This formulation of desire and change as intersubjective and relational processes involving divine and human beings breaks new ground among dominantly sociological and symbolic studies of religious change in contemporary Eastern Europe.
Chapter One broadly outlines 20th and 21st century social transformations in the Ciuc valley. Chapter Two explores the annual Pentecost pilgrimage event as a ritual intricately caught up in everyday processes of emerging post-socialist masculine subject formation. Chapter Three tells the story of a young woman’s vision of the Virgin Mary that resulted in the installation of a new statue and shrine at the pilgrimage site. Where other scholars have treated similar events in terms of abstract political processes of resacralizing and nationalizing post-socialist space and time, I seek to re-site the “politics” of the shrine in the tension between religious experience and semiotic form. Chapter Four blends phenomenological and pragmatist theories of materiality to address recent infrastructural transformations to the pilgrimage site as efforts to “remodel Mary’s home.” One set of new structures outside at the shrine materialize and enact the ambivalent search for a post-socialist lay Catholic leading class that I introduced in Chapter One. Chapter Five takes up my previous concern with gender in order to examine women’s Marian healing practices in secular post-socialist hospitals. Chapter Six beings with a consideration of the intersubjective politics of storytelling and the new role played at Csíksomlyó by the global Catholic radio network, The World Family of Radio Maria.

Tycz, Katherine Marie. "Material prayers : the use of text in early modern Italian domestic devotions." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/276240.
Full textAbstract:
While scholarship often focuses on how early modern Italians used images in their devotions, particularly in the post-Tridentine era, little attention has been placed upon how laypeople engaged with devotional text during times of prayer and in their everyday lives. Studies of early modern devotional texts have explored their literary content, investigated their censorship by the Church, or concentrated upon an elite readership. This thesis, instead, investigates how ordinary devotees interacted with holy words in their material form, which I have termed ‘material prayers’. Since this thesis developed under the aegis of the interdisciplinary research project, Domestic Devotions: The Place of Piety in the Italian Renaissance Home, 1400-1600, it focuses primarily on engagement with these material prayers in domestic spaces. Using an interdisciplinary approach drawing from material culture studies, literary history, social and cultural history, and art history, it brings together objects, images and archival sources to illuminate how devotees from across the socio-economic and literacy spectrums accessed and employed devotional text in their prayers and daily life. From holy words, Biblical excerpts, and prayers to textual symbols like the Sacred Monogram of the Name of Jesus, this thesis explores how and why these material prayers were employed for spiritual, apotropaic and intercessory purposes. It analyses material prayers not only in traditional textual formats (printed books and manuscripts), but also those that were printed on single-sheets of paper, inscribed on jewellery, or etched into the structure of the home. To convey how devotees engaged with and relied upon these material prayers, it considers a variety of inscribed objects, including those sanctioned by the Church as well as those which might be questioned or deemed ‘superstitious’ by ecclesiastical authorities. Sermons, Inquisition trial records, and other archival documents have been consulted to further illuminate the material evidence. The first part of the thesis, ‘On the Body’, considers the how devotees came into personal contact with texts by wearing prayers on their bodies. It examines a range of objects including prayers with protective properties, known as brevi, that were meant to be sealed in a pouch and worn around the neck, and more luxurious items of physical adornment inscribed with devotional and apotropaic text, such as necklaces and rings. The second part of the thesis enters the home to explore how the spaces people inhabited and the objects that populated their homes were decorated with material prayers. ‘In the Home’ begins with texts inscribed over the entryways of early modern Italian homes, and then considers how devotees decorated their walls with holy words and how the objects of devotion and household life were imbued with religious significance through the addition of pious inscriptions. By analysing these personal objects and the textual domestic sphere, this thesis argues that these material prayers cut across socio-economic classes, genders, and ages to embody quotidian moments of domestic devotion as well as moments of fear, anxiety and change.

Full textAbstract:
This study is a theoretical research concerning Ibn Arabi's Sufi experience and his philosophy of the "
unity of being"
(also his poetical talent). I therefore adopted the historical and analytical methodologies to analyse and reply on the questions and suggestions I have raised in this paper. Both of the methodologies reveal the actual status of the Sufism of Ibn Arabi who came with a challenging sufi doctrine. Also, in the theoretical methodology I attempt to define Sufism by giving a panoramic history of it. I have also researched Ibn Arabi's status amongst his contemporaries for example, Al-Hallaj and Ibn Al Farid, and how they influenced him as a Sufi thinker during this time.
In the analytical study I explore the poems "
Tarjuman al Ashwaq"
of Ibn Arabi, of which I have selected some poems to study analytically. Through this I discovered Ibn Arabi's Sufi inclinations and the criticisms of various literary scholars, theologians, philosophers and also sufi thinkers, both from the East and the West. In this analysis I have also focused on the artistic value of the poetry which he utilized to promote his own doctrine "
the unity of being."

Vuillemin, Pascal. "‘Parochiæ Venetiarum’. Paroisses et communautés paroissiales à Venise dans les derniers siècles du Moyen Âge." Thesis, Paris 4, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA040263.
Full textAbstract:
À la fin du Moyen Âge, les paroisses urbaines traversèrent une période de crise, qui se traduisit par une profonde déprise, temporelle et spirituelle, des cadres paroissiaux sur les fidèles. Cette recherche entend considérer un ensemble de paroisses urbaines dans les derniers siècles du Moyen Âge afin d’observer, « de l’intérieur », les conditions, les enjeux et les conséquences de l’évolution des interactions entre les paroisses et leurs communautés paroissiales. Venise, du fait de la richesse de ses archives paroissiales, a été retenue pour mener cette enquête. Dans un premier temps de l'étude, une vue d’ensemble des cadres paroissiaux vénitiens est proposée dans une confrontation constante avec le droit canonique médiéval : les territoires, les clergés et la liturgie sont ainsi examinés. Alors que le droit canonique juxtaposait ces trois cadres, la réalité paroissiale vénitienne en souligne au contraire les interactions. On en vient ensuite à envisager les évolutions à l'œuvre, qu’il s’agisse de l’affirmation du juspatronat laïc, de l’élaboration d’une nouvelle économie paroissiale et des transformations des pratiques dévotionnelles. Enfin, la thèse s’attache à mesurer les effets de ces mutations, qui se reflétaient dans la concurrence exercée par les autres établissements religieux, concurrence qui porta à une désagrégation des droits coutumiers paroissiaux. Aussi, l’ordinaire vénitien entreprit-il à la fin du XVe siècle de réformer les paroisses et d’en unifier les coutumes, donnant ainsi naissance à une institution paroissiale vénitienne qui se maintint jusqu’à la chute de la RépubliqueIn the late Middle Ages, urban parishes went through a period of crisis, which resulted in a profound abandonment by the parochial structures of whole sections of faithfuls'life, both temporal and spiritual. The aim of this research involves the study, through the analysis of their own archives, of a collection of urban parishes in the last centuries of the Middle Ages in order to observe, "from within" conditions, issues and consequences of changing interactions between parishes and their faithful communities. Because of its vast parish records, Venice has been chosen as the particular object of this investigation. The first part provides an initial overview of the Venetian parochial structures, comparing them to medieval canon law, therefore the territories, the clergy and the liturgy are discussed. In fact, while canon law juxtaposed these three frameworks, the reality of the Venetian parochial organisations instead emphasized the existing interactions between these three levels. The second part is therefore considering the various developments : like the assertion of secular juspatronat, the rise of a new parish economy or changes in devotional practices. Finally, a third part attempts to measure the effects of these mutations, which were reflected in the competition from other religious bodies. A competition that led to disintegration of customary parochial rights. So, to solve these difficulties, the Venetian episcopate began, in the late fifteenth century, to reform its parishes and to unify their specific customs, by thus giving birth to the Venetian parochial institution that will continue until the fall of the Republic

Mederos, Sara Danielle. "Devotion and obedience : a devotio moderna construction of St Bridget of Sweden in Lincoln Cathedral Chapter Manuscript 114." Thesis, University of Lincoln, 2016. http://eprints.lincoln.ac.uk/26975/.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation places a medieval manuscript of the late fourteenth or early fifteenth centuries in a new historical context. Lincoln Cathedral Manuscript MS 114 has, previously, been understudied and where it has been noticed it has been misidentified. Formally, used only for a few studies focusing on St Bridget of Sweden, it has been considered to be of English provenance, perhaps linked to one of the Birgittine monasteries in England.1 By noting the manuscript’s Dutch provenance and exploring its probable connection to the devotio moderna movement, this thesis will consider how MS 114 might have been used in the early years of the movement. It will examine key themes of different explorations of chastity for lay women, and in particular, the nature of female obedience, as portrayed within the manuscript. This devotional manuscript is made up of nineteen different pieces or extracts from larger medieval works of theology and philosophy. The nineteen articles of the manuscript are arranged in two nearly equal parts. The manuscript’s division into two parts is significant to our thinking about how it was intended to be used and read. The first half, which contains Articles 1 through 10, is made up largely of documents relating to St Bridget of Sweden, exploring her life and arguments concerning the legitimacy of her sanctity. The second part of the manuscript is apparently less unified: no individual figure, like Bridget, ties together its apparently disparate pieces. It is made up of extracts from the works of the Church fathers, anonymous theological guidance and sermons from works of the fourth to the fourteenth century. However, that does not mean that it has no cohesion. Rather, its different articles are linked by a thematic approach, with themes it picks up on ideas expressed in the manuscript’s first part. These two parts are further distinguished by the use of two different scribes. It is both important and interesting to note that these two scribes were working on the manuscript simultaneously, as its second half contains marginal notes, usually corrections of errors in the text, written in the hand of the first scribe. Overall, the nineteen articles contained in MS 114, both those focused around Bridget and those which make no mention of her, emphasize the value of the same virtues: those of humility, chastity, and, particularly, of spiritual obedience in general. These virtues are those of the monastic movements. Claire L. Sahlin has, specifically, labelled Bridget as a ‘fountainhead’ who led the way for later prophetic reformers, including Catherine of Siena, Constance of Rabastens, Marie Robine, Jeanne-Marie of Maille, and Joan of Arc. For several reasons, largely the political upheaval of the Papal Schism but also the social catastrophe of the Black Death, St Bridget of Sweden was the only woman canonized in the fourteenth century, and the only fourteenth century saint canonized in Rome—all others were canonized in Avignon. This will be discussed in greater depth in Chapter Two. Many of these articles are attributed to Early Church Fathers, however, we now know many of these articles are actually Pseudo-written articles from the fourteenth century, Middle Ages, but in a lay setting. Especially when focused upon lay women, these virtues were espoused by the devotio moderna movement. This religious movement emphasized the use of literature and, in particular, the examples of holy, female lay lives. Whereas more popular, and later, devotio moderna manuscripts, known as sister books, used devotio moderna sisters as these examples for the movement’s female lay followers. MS 114 was compiled at a time too early in the movement’s history to have deceased sisterly examples. St Bridget is used in MS 114 in a similar fashion to the later sisters of the sister books. Furthermore, the beginning of the devotio moderna movement coincides with the canonization of Bridget, therefore showing how devotio moderna valued contemporary events within their devotion. The articles in this manuscript, complied in the Netherlands during the early fifteenth century, were, therefore, chosen with precise care and purpose to form a single compilation meant to be read as part of a whole and intended as an enhancement of devotion and of individual devotional practice. This thesis takes two of those themes, chastity and obedience, both of which were rooted in the virtue of humility. It will principally consider these through Article 10, the vita (saint’s life) of St Bridget of Sweden. Bridget’s vita makes up both the physical and the intellectual centre of MS 114. As a saint’s life, Article 10 is also most similar to the later centrepiece of teaching and exempla of the devotio moderna movement: the sister book. Like those manuscripts and later printed books, the saint’s life in general provides stories and anecdotes of the life of a pious individual. Wybren Scheepsma analyses both the physical and literary contents of devotio moderna sister books as well as the sisters themselves. In a manuscript, too large for close study within just one doctorate, the vita also stands out for the way in which it has been adapted for inclusion in this manuscript. More than one vita of St Bridget existed in the early fifteenth century, with the longest, most detailed and best attested being that produced as part of her canonization dossier for the papal curia. The version of the vita found in MS 114 is recognizably a version of that canonization vita: it shares its shape and all the stories told about St Bridget. Yet it is a much-abbreviated version of that work, and the anecdotes considered particularly worthy of inclusion within it are those which emphasise the values of MS 114 as a whole. Additionally, the vita has been altered to focus more closely upon Bridget herself, rather than placing her in the general context of her life and society. The majority of names, for example, have been removed, leaving only Bridget and one or two saints specified as named individuals. This reshaping – or chosen reshaped version, for we cannot be certain whose hand made the alterations here – of the vita makes it a particularly clear demonstration of the purpose of the manuscript’s compilers. Bridget’s canonical vita remains the most popular amongst modern scholars. However, several, significantly, different versions of her life exist in various languages including a popular Middle English vita which was particularly popular amongst English Birgittines such as Margery Kempe. Discussions in this thesis of the manuscript’s themes will, therefore, focus around the vita, whilst also putting it in the context of the other texts found within the manuscript. Overall the thesis aims to consider what it meant in the religious movements of the early fifteenth-century Low Countries to be obedient and to whom obedience was owed, at different stages in the female lifecycle, considering in particular the nature of control and how this was to be expressed by women.

Williams, Kenneth R. "The De Villers Book of Hours." DigitalCommons@USU, 1996. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/182.
Full textAbstract:
Created in France during the late fifteenth century, the illuminations, text, and family genealogy (added by one of many owners) found in De Villers Book of Hours make it an excellent example among other French books of hours from this period. In addition to acting as a repository of the style and iconography of French fifteenth-century illumination, the book's rich decorative program and varied textual content provide a remarkable document of contemporary devotional piety. This thesis provides the first detailed description and analysis of the De Villers Book of Hours. Following a description of books of hours in general, the overall makeup of the De Villers Hours is addressed, including the decorative program with a suggested method and example for description, a sample of textual transcription, comments on the provenance, a brief discussion of the family genealogy, and a concluding section with a sample collection register and worksheet for cataloging.

Full textAbstract:
Mexico City experienced a dramatic increase in the publication of religious devotionals that promoted individual prayer in the late eighteenth and into the nineteenth century. These publications reveal a focus on the individual's internal spirituality, a characteristic of enlightened thinking, and the emphasis on a new form of piety being disseminated by the ecclesiastical hierarchy. Simultaneously, they were directed at a new readership among ordinary men and women, more of whom were literate, a product of recent reforms in primary education. This increase in the distribution and availability of these libritos and the growth of a new readership were indicative of a boom in print production and culture (coinciding with an ease in book censorship) and the influx of Enlightenment thinking (and subsequent reforms) on both an official and unofficial level. This dissertation examines the trends in religious devotion, print culture, education and literacy that were established during the second half of the eighteenth century through the struggle for Independence (1750-1821). It has been claimed that studying such practices, especially as they were experienced in the nineteenth century, is practically impossible due to their hidden nature, a claim rooted in the idea that characteristics of religiosity are inherently individual and familial, and so evaded documentation. I argue against this notion and demonstrate that sources on religious devotions and practices for this period, have not yet been closely examined. At the same time, I explore the shift in the prominence of religious practice from a baroque Tridentine form of Catholicism to a new form of piety (new piety) and how this new piety was extended to women and children as Bourbons confronted their place in society.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis critically examined gutkas – illuminated, pocket-sized anthologies of texts, hymns, and prayers that a Hindu would recite in a sacred place in the home, usually near an altar – produced in the Kashmir Valley during the mid-nineteenth century. Previously relegated to the periphery of scholarly discourse due to academic discriminations against “folk” culture, the goal here was to consider these objects and their paintings through the combined lenses of art history, cultural history, and religious studies in order to speak about gutkas in a deeper and more meaningful way. Here, gutkas from Utah State University, the Smithsonian Freer|Sackler Galleries, and the British Library were used as a tool to situate their makers within intricate familial webs of artistic practice, identify patterns of consumption and attitudes of ownership among a South Asian middle class, and reconstruct the objects’ function within Hindu devotional practice.

Full textAbstract:
Poetry, Desire, and Devotional Performance from Shakespeare to Milton, 1609-1667 documents and analyzes the ways post-Reformation devotional and worship practices inflected early modern English poetic conceptions of erotic desire and intimacy. My study focuses on two specific Reformation religious developments—the official Anglican ceremonialism of the state church and the popular Reformed predestinarianism—each of which enjoyed a widespread following during the roughly sixty years bracketed by the lives of Shakespeare and Milton. While religious historians often treat state-sanctioned worship and popular divinity as contradictory or antagonistic, I demonstrate that both cultural arenas reveal one important commonality: each sought to prioritize the body as the most important means for externally verifying inner devotional affect.
Whether sanctioned by the state church or only informally practiced, post-Reformation English devotional practices embodied the seventeenth-century’s deep suspicion of outward signs of inner affect—one that that coexisted with an equally powerful impulse to venerate those very outward markers of grace. In a religious culture that regarded outward performance as devotionally suspect, the body and the senses nevertheless remained vital to the way individuals could outwardly demonstrate and interpret their inward affect.
I maintain that outward devotional performance did more than provide the material and external scaffolding by which individuals could conceptualize their relationship with God. Moreover, it provided early modern thinkers and poets with a lexicon and a conceptual apparatus for describing and interpreting devotional intention and access within the context of a wide range of earthly entanglements and fleshly negotiations. Most significantly, the religious developments of the English Reformation informed the way poets conceptualized access within decidedly secular, earthly, and erotic relationships—shaping the way English men and women read and interpreted the impulses and desires of both others and themselves. My project examines the role of the body—desired and desiring—at the crossroads of both erotic and devotional life in the poetry of Shakespeare, Donne, Greville, Herrick, and Milton. In these poems, God, dead wives, standoffish mistresses, exes, whores, homoerotic boy lovers, and even Satan play distinct parts as both antagonists and objects of longing.
Within the space of a few decades of the early seventeenth-century century, the absolutism that characterized nearly every aspect of English religious life opened possibilities for thinking about the role of the body in matters both spiritual and secular that emerged not in opposition to, but as a direct result of, the limitations placed on the ways individuals could conceive of and express their most powerful desires. These articulations of devotional longing—whether for earthly lovers or for God—were enabled precisely by the spiritual and psychological constraints posed by the ever tightening restrictions on public worship and prayer.English

Full textAbstract:
Art HistoryM.A.
In the late Middle Ages, nuns in southern Germany and the Rhineland were strictly enclosed behind their convent’s walls, and they had been stripped of their clerical powers as a result of papal reforms. However, life in such cloistered environments allowed nuns’ affective piety to evolve and flourish in new ways, for example, via the use of devotional images. This paper examines the devotional imagery created and used by nuns in these regions, and how such imagery aided them in developing spiritual authority, as a way of overcoming not only their loss of clerical authority, but also perceived weaknesses and inferiority ascribed to female bodies, minds, and morals by contemporary male theorists and theologians. This study concentrates on a small subset of images – those of the suffering and wounded body of Christ. These include the profusely bleeding and suffering Christ on the Cross, and images that are related to his side wound and the pierced Sacred Heart. Of particular interest is how these nuns used images to stimulate their meditation and imaginative visions, for which women had a propensity in their piety. It was this personal engagement with the images that invoked an intensely gendered and inherently sympathetic relationship with Christ, and also provoked their bodily senses, which thus allowed for a deeper and more salvific experience that put them on a direct path to uniting with God. The results of this study indicate that, due to a confluence of these and other factors, nuns were able to acquire an authority of their own via their ability to establish a close connection with the divine through their gendered alignment with the humanity, flesh and blood of Christ, and through the unique and personal piety they developed. These instances of intimate union with the divine did not go unnoticed by members of the male clergy, who by their gendered nature, were more resistant to imaginative and visionary experiences. Some even saw the heightened and emotional experiences of the nuns as superior to, and more immersive than, their own devotion, thus giving these women a degree of spiritual authority over their male colleagues. Moreover, some religious men were not only aware of this, but also encouraged women in their imaginary and spiritual visions, and sought to learn from them.

Full textAbstract:
The Catholic community of post-Settlement England relied upon devotional literature to sustain the faith of individuals who were generally deprived of the sacraments and contact with Catholic clergy. Increasingly, these books were used not only to promote Catholic spirituality, but to encourage greater fidelity and loyalty to the Catholic church. The genre is represented by texts which vary greatly and which accommodated a wide and disparate audience with different devotional requirements and even with varying degrees of attachment to the Catholic faith. The period was one of tremendous religious literary activity on the Continent and those who were involved in the production and distribution of Catholic literature drew heavily upon the spiritual books which were issuing in such great numbers from the commercial presses in France and the Netherlands. Translating the devotional works of the spiritual masters of the day proved to be a tremendously effective way of providing English readers with books of orthodox devotion, while at the same time drawing the isolated community into the wider world of Catholic renewal. Providing Catholic devotional texts to a persecuted audience under tremendous pressure to conform very often drew that audience into the fray of controversy and the quarrel of religious disputation. The line between devotion and controversy was thin and often crossed, and devotional books were frequently used as a method of promoting not only Catholic spirituality, but Catholic loyalty as well. Thus, these books, like other devotional artefacts, were considered dangerous to the religious - and political - stability of England. In the contemporary situation these devotional books were clearly regarded as effective tools for maintaining Catholicism in England, both by those who produced them and by those who sought to destroy them. The study of these books can help us to appreciate that important role and the place of devotional literature in the wider context of confessional conflict.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the cult of Our Lady of Remedios from an art-historical perspective. Choosing this specific cult statue as a case study is not arbitrary: Remedios is among the oldest Marian images in the New World and was named first patroness of Mexico City in 1574, when the city council became the patron of her shrine and a confraternity was founded to better disseminate the cult. As a result, the statue was carried fifty-seven times through the streets of New Spain's capital in three hundred years (an average of one procession every five years), thus outnumbering any other religious event that was not part of the liturgical calendar. The fame of Our Lady of Remedios was closely linked to her role as Socia Belli of the Spanish army, as she was believed to have protected Hernán Cortés and his allies during the conquest of Mexico-Tenochtitlán in 1520-21. Her character as protector in times of war was enhanced in the centuries to come, when she was called to the city on every occasion when the Spanish Crown was involved in military campaigns. Her protection, however, was mainly requested in times of drought and epidemics, a reason for which her fame as protectress of the city grew intensively, and all sectors of society (Spanish, Indians, and Castas) followed her with the same fervent faith. This dissertation is a monographic study of a miraculous image that has hitherto been overlooked in the history of colonial religiosity of New Spain despite its symbolic relevance for the society of its time. It considers the sixteenth-century statue and the ways it was displayed to its devotional audiences as documents that inform us about its social role. By placing this cult image in the ritual context to which it belonged, both spatial and spiritual, this study considers the devotional gaze with which her devotees engaged her showing how devotion, aesthetics and politics were intertwined during colonial Mexico.History of Art and Architecture

Full textAbstract:
Henry Suso (c. 1295-1366) and Richard Rolle (c. 1300-1349) were two of the most popular authors in late-medieval England and Germany: their Latin works survive in hundreds of manuscripts owned by both lay and religious readers across Europe. Authority and exemplarity are central to their works, both writers present themselves as eponymous characters in their works, creating "pseudo-autobiographies" which offer their author-characters to the reader as ideal exemplars for imitation. Also central to their authorial strategy is their attention to feminine aspects of both divinity and audience; both imagine themselves as brides of Christ even as they pledge their devotion to Wisdom, a (female) combination of the Old Testament Goddess and Christ incarnate. The imagery of courtly love is employed both as an enticement for readers and as a natural extension of their internalization of the allegorical interpretation of the Song of Songs; their claims to bear the name of Jesus on their heart lead to iconographic crossover in representations of Rolle in English manuscripts. Music and aurality are repeatedly employed as a fundamental aspect of their descriptions of mystical experience. Suso was read widely in late-medieval England, both in Latin and in English translation; as his popularity grew, so too did his influence on English literature and theology. The chapters of the Horologium Sapientiae on the Eucharist and the art of dying well proved especially popular. Two Carthusians, Nicholas Love and the author of the Speculum Devotorum, for instance, both drew on Suso's treatment of the Eucharist in reinforcing orthodox beliefs surrounding the sacrament of the altar – yet a recently-discovered independent translation of the same text is found in a manuscript otherwise containing Lollard tracts. Suso's liturgy in honor of Eternal Wisdom proved his most popular and enduring contribution to English literature: it entered Sarum Use Books of Hours by the end of the fifteenth century and was printed in English translation towards the end of the sixteenth.

When analyzing the specificities of the religious festivities present in the southeast of Tocantins, I chose the cult of Madonna of Rosary and the Divine Holy Spirit present in the Sucupira Party, with occurrence in the countryside of Dianapolis city, located at Tocantins state - a city originated with the mounting of the jesuit missions. The studies about these festivities have gained wide space in historiography due to their attention in the analysis of many aspects of the festive community. Therefore, the research highlights the process of formation and constitution of Sucupira's Party as an expression of a collective memory and the representation of the religiosity of its participants, individuals and groups involved. The respective festivity inserts in historiography for explaining the social relations established between the inhabitants of the southeast Tocantins, and also allowing the registry of regional knowledge and practices, becoming an element of collaboration with the writing of the local history when it highlights the procedures of the Individuals participating in this festivity. The festivity was approached from historical sources related to it and with the contribution of testimonials obtained as a way of appreciation of the party planners and individuals involved in the research. The manifestations occured at Sucupira clarify a broad amount of rituals and symbologies related to the colonial past and the african and lusitan heritages, reinforcing the social and hierarchical systems that intertwine with elements inserted at modernity's context, also in line with traditional elements, such as 'the masters lifting', Divine Emperor / Empress coronation, and Kings and Queens of Rosary. This way, through documentary research in parochial registries, documents present in Goiânia's archives, based on theoretical assumptions of the New Cultural History, Anthropology of Religions and at the regional writings, it was possible to understand how the festivities transplanted to Brazil are perched with hybrid elements, as much they reinforce a search for the maintaining of the traditions inherited, of the collective memory linked to the party, the relation between devout and worshiped divinity and also the sociability relations established there.
Ao analisar as especificidades das festividades religiosas presentes no sudeste tocantinense, elegi o culto a Nossa Senhora do Rosário e ao Divino Espírito Santo presentes na Festa da Sucupira, com ocorrência na zona rural do município de Dianópolis – TO, cidade que tem sua origem com a instalação da missão jesuíta. Os estudos acerca das festas têm ganhado espaço na historiografia por possibilitar a análise de diversos aspectos da comunidade festiva. Dessa forma, a pesquisa destaca o processo de formação e constituição da Festa da Sucupira como expressão de uma memória coletiva e como representação da religiosidade dos seus partícipes, sujeitos e grupos envolvidos. A respectiva festividade insere-se na historiografia por explicitar as relações sociais estabelecidas entre os habitantes do sudeste tocantinense, e ainda por permitir o registro de saberes e fazeres específicos da região, tornando-se um elemento de colaboração com a escrita da história local ao destacar a atuação dos sujeitos participantes da respectiva festividade. Foi pensada a festa a partir de fontes históricas relacionadas à mesma e com a contribuição dos depoimentos colhidos como forma de valorização dos festeiros e sujeitos envolvidos na pesquisa. As manifestações ocorridas em Sucupira elucidam um diversificado conjunto de rituais e simbologias ligados ao passado colonial e às heranças africanas e lusitanas, reforçando os sistemas sociais e hierárquicos que dialogam com elementos inseridos no contexto da modernidade em consonância com elementos tradicionais, como o levantamento de mastros, coroação de Imperadores/Imperatrizes do Divino, e Reis/Rainhas do Rosário. Dessa forma, por meio da pesquisa documental em registros paroquiais, documentos presentes em arquivos goianos, embasados nos pressupostos teóricos da Nova História Cultural, Antropologia das Religiões e ainda nos escritos regionais, foi possível compreender como as festividades transplantadas para o Brasil são perpassadas por elementos híbridos, bem como reforçam uma busca pela manutenção das tradições herdadas, da memória coletiva acerca da festa, da relação entre devoto e divindade cultuada e ainda das relações de sociabilidades que ali são estabelecidas.

Full textAbstract:
Les Dalā’il al-Khayrāt forment un recueil de prières en l’honneur du Prophète Muhammad, composé par le mystique marocain Muḥammad b. Sulaymān al-Jazūlī (m. 869/1465) vers le milieu du IXe/XVe siècle. Peu de temps après son apparition au Maroc, le texte s’est répandu au reste du Maghreb avant de connaître un large succès en Orient, plus particulièrement en Turquie. Souvent comparé au Coran en raison de l’ampleur de sa diffusion, le bréviaire semble avoir été pareillement porté en très haute estime à en juger par le soin avec lequel on le copiait et le décorait. Aussi, il revêt la singulière particularité d’être le seul texte religieux possédant des illustrations dans lesquelles est représentée, sous une forme stylisée, la chambre funéraire du Prophète à Médine. Cette étude propose donc de retracer l’élaboration de la tradition manuscrite d’un bréviaire à succès et son évolution depuis le début Xe/XVIe jusqu’à la fin du XIIIe/XIXe siècle. Pour cela, elle se concentre spécifiquement sur la région de l’Afrique du Nord où a débuté la diffusion du livre. En soumettant un corpus d’exemplaires maghrébins inédits à un examen codicologique et à l’étude de leurs décors, cette recherche définit les traits qui signalent la confection de ces ouvrages. A travers l’analyse iconographique et stylistique des peintures, nous sommes en mesure de comprendre la place de l’image sacrée au Maghreb et les liens qu’elle entretient avec l’imagerie orientale des lieux saints du Ḥijāz. Enfin, à la lumière de cette approche multidisciplinaire, confrontée à l’exploitation des sources textuelles, nous parvenons à saisir l’importance que revêt la dévotion au Prophète au Maghreb à l’époque pré-moderneThe Dalā’il al-Khayrāt is a prayer book dedicated to the Prophet Muhammad. Written by the Moroccan Sufi Muḥammad b. Sulaymān al-Jazūlī (m. 869/1465) in mid-15th century, it spread to the Islamic West far into South-East Asia and became one of the most successful religious books after the Qur’an. Often compared to the Qur’an because of its extraordinary success, the book seems to have been held in high regard judging by the careful manner in which it was copied and decorated. Moreover, it has the distinctive feature to be the only religious book that contains illustrations. This study proposes to retrace the formation/elaboration of the manuscript tradition of a successful prayer book and its development from the beginning of the 10th/16th century until the end of the 13th/19th century. In order to do so, the study focuses on the region of the Maghrib where the circulation of the book originated. By submitting a corpus of unpublished manuscripts to a codicological analysis and the examination of their decoration, this investigation will define the features that single out the production of these books. Through the iconographical and stylistic study of the paintings, we are able to understand the value of sacred images in North Africa and their relationship to the imagery of pilgrimage places in the Mashriq. Finally, in light of this interdisciplinary approach along with the exploitation of written sources, we succeed in understanding the importance of the devotion of the Prophet in North Africa during the pre-modern period

Full textAbstract:
Ma recherche porte sur l'iconographie de la Nativité du Christ dans la peinture italienne médiévale, avec un corpus de 300 images incluant les petits retables destinés à la dévotion privée comme les grands cycles de fresques. L'enquête commence autour de 1250 par la production des peintres qui précédèrent Giotto et Duccio, et s'achève autour de 1450, avec les oeuvres de Beato Angelico et Filippo Lippi. L'objectif est d'étudier l'évolution de chacune des figures constitutives de la scène (Marie, Jésus, Joseph, l'âne et le boeuf, les bergers, les sages-femmes, etc.) et surtout de la scène comme ensemble, à partir du motif figuratif du personnage agenouillé en adoration, motif toujours plus fréquent dans la Nativité au cours de la période et symptomatique des usages dévotionnels de l'image dans l'Italie médiévaleMy research scrutinizes the iconography of Christ's Nativity in italian medieval painting, dealing with 300 images, ranging from small altarpieces for private devotion to major fresco cycles. It starts around 1250, with the generation of painters who were teachers to Giotto and Duccio, and it ends around 1450, with the works of Beato Angelico and Filippo Lippi. My aim is to provide a complete study of each figure's evolution (Mary, Jesus, Joseph, the ox and ass, the shepherds, the midwives, etc.) and of the scene as a whole. The increasing proportion of kneeling figures – the adoratio flexis genibus – in the scene testifies the evolution of devotional practices and the use of images for praying

Full textAbstract:
This study is an art history of Santa Maria dei Carmini, Venice, from its foundation in c. 1286 to the present day, with a special focus on the late Renaissance period (c. 1500-1560). It explores a relatively overlooked corner of Renaissance Venice and provides an opportunity to study the Carmelite Order's relationship to art. It seeks to answer outstanding questions of attribution, dating, patronage, architectural arrangements and locations of works of art in the church. Additionally it has attempted to have a diverse approach to problems of interpretation and has examined the visual imagery's relationship to the Carmelite liturgy, religious function and later interpretations of art works. Santa Maria dei Carmini was amongst the largest basilicas in Venice when it was completed and the Carmelites were a major international order with a strong literary tradition. Their church in Venice contained a wealth of art works produced by one of the most restlessly inventive generations in the Western European tradition. Chapter 1 outlines a history of the Carmelites, their hagiography and devotions, which inform much of the discussion in later chapters. The second Chapter discusses the early history of the Carmelite church in Venice, establishing when it was founded, and examining the decorative aspects before 1500. It demonstrates how the tramezzo and choir-stalls compartmentalised the nave and how these different spaces within the church were used. Chapter 3 studies two commissions for the decoration of the tramezzo, that span the central period of this thesis, c. 1500-1560. There it is shown that subjects relevant to the Carmelite Order, and the expected public on different sides of the tramezzo were chosen and reinterpreted over time as devotions changed. Cima da Conegliano's Adoration of the Shepherds (c. 1511) is discussed in Chapter 4, where the dedication of the altar is definitively proven and the respective liturgy is expanded upon. The tradition of votive images is shown to have influenced Cima's representation of the donor. In Chapter 5 Cima's altarpiece for the Scuola di Sant'Alberto's altar is shown to have been replaced because of the increasing ambiguity over the identification of the titulus after the introduction of new Carmelite saints at the beginning of the century. Its compositional relationship to the vesperbild tradition is also examined and shown to assist the faithful in important aspects of religious faith. The sixth chapter examines the composition of Lorenzo Lotto's St Nicholas in Glory (1527-29) and how it dramatises the relationship between the devoted, the interceding saints and heaven. It further hypothesises that the inclusion of St Lucy is a corroboration of the roles performed by St Nicholas and related to the confraternity's annual celebrations in December. The authorship, date and iconography of Tintoretto's Presentation of Christ (c. 1545) is analysed in Chapter 7, which also demonstrates how the altarpiece responds to the particular liturgical circumstances on the feast of Candlemas. The final chapter discusses the church as a whole, providing the first narrative of the movement of altars and development of the decorative schemes. The Conclusion highlights the important themes that have developed from this study and provides a verdict on the role of ‘Carmelite art' in the Venice Carmini.

Full textAbstract:
Seventeenth-century England witnessed profound historical, theological, and musical changes. A king was overthrown and executed; religion was practiced fervently and disputed hotly; and English musicians fell under the influence of the Italian stile nuovo. Many devotional songs were printed, among them those which reveal influences of this style. These English-texted sacred songs for one to three solo voices with continuo--not based upon a previously- composed hymn or psalm tune—are emphasized in this dissertation. Chapter One treats definitions, past neglect of the genre by scholars, and the problem of ambiguous terminology. Chapter Two is an examination of how religion and politics affected musical life, the hiatus from liturgical music from 1644 to 1660 causing composers to contribute to the flourishing of devotional music for home worship and recreation. Different modes of seventeenth-century devotional life are discussed in Chapter Three. Chapter Four provides documentation for use of devotional music, diaries and memoirs of the period revealing the use of several publications considered in this study. Baroque musical aesthetics applied to devotional song and its raising of the affections towards God are discussed in Chapter Five. Chapter Six traces the influence of Italian monody and sacred concerto on English devotional song. The earliest compositions by an Englishman working in the stile nuovo are Henry Lawes' 1638 hymn tunes with continuo. Collections of two- and three-voice compositions by Child, the Lawes brothers, Wilson, and Porter, published from 1639 to 1657, comprise Chapter Seven, as well as early devotional works of Locke. Chapter Eight treats Restoration devotional song-- compositions for one to three voices and continuo, mostly of a more secular and dramatic style than works discussed in earlier. The outstanding English Baroque composers--Locke, Humfrey, Blow, and Purcell--are represented, and the apex of this style is found in the latest seventeenth-century publication of devotional song, Henry Playford's Harmonia sacra, (1688, 1693).

This dissertation focuses on religious practices, held in Ponta Grossa / PR, to honor the Holy Spirit. We focus in the demonstrations that took place in the House of the Divine, a place that won the title after Maria Julio Cesarino Xavier have housed inside the image representation of the Holy Spirit, a dove with outstretched wings, engraved on a piece of wood that you would find in a river . Thus, these manifestations are present in this city since 1882 prevailed until today. This paper discusses the relationships that men and women have established with the sacred through festive events in praise of the Divine and identify the position of local ecclesiastical authorities in relation to these practices developed by these faithful. Therefore, we use local newspapers as sources, festival programs and the owner of the tipping process (House of the Divine). The research found its theoretical foundations in Roger Chartier, Michel de Certeau, Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Vovelle and MirceaEliade
Esta dissertação focaliza as práticas religiosas, realizadas em Ponta Grossa/PR, para homenagear o Divino Espírito Santo. Focamos nas manifestações ocorridas na Casa do Divino, local que ganhou esse título após Maria JulioCesarino Xavier ter abrigado em seu interior a imagem da representação do Divino Espírito Santo, uma pomba de asas abertas, gravada em um pedaço de madeira que encontrará em um rio. Assim, essas manifestações estão presentes nessa cidade desde 1882 prevalecendo até os dias de hoje. Objetivamos discutir as relações que homens e mulheres estabeleceram com o sagrado por meio de manifestações festivas em louvor ao Divino e identificar o posicionamento das autoridades eclesiásticas locais em relação a essas práticas desenvolvidas por esses féis. Para tanto, utilizamos como fontes periódicos locais, programas dos festejos e o processo de tombamento do imóvel (Casa do Divino). A pesquisa encontrou seus alicerces teóricos em Roger Chartier, Michel de Certeau, Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Vovelle e MirceaEliade.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contends that youth from age twelve to twenty-five played a pivotal role in the revivals of the Second Great Awakening in New York and New England. Rather than merely being passive onlookers in these religious renewals, the youth were active participants, influencing the frequency, spread, and intensity of the Christian revivals. Relying heavily upon personal accounts written by youth and revival records from various denominations, this work examines adolescent religious experiences during the first half of the nineteenth century. Chapter 1 explores the impact parents had on youth religiosity, showing how the teaching and examples they saw in their homes built the religious foundation for young people. The next chapter discusses how the youth continued to build upon what they were taught in their homes by seeking for personal conversion experiences. This chapter contends that conversion experiences were the crucial spiritual turning point in the lives of young people, and explores how they were prepared for and reacted to these experiences. Chapter 3 outlines personal worship among the youth and describes the specific tactics that churches implemented in helping convert and strengthen the young. As churches used revival meetings and clergy-youth relationships to fortify these converts, young people implemented the same practices in helping their peers. Finally, chapter 4 utilizes revival records and Methodist church data to provide quantitative evidence of the widespread and crucial role that young people had in influencing revivals. Understanding the widespread impact of these youth on nineteenth-century revivals provides new insight into the ways in which young people impacted the greater social, religious, and culture changes sweeping across America at the time.

Previous issue date: 2016-02-22This work aims to show the history and the record of Congada demonstration in Pires do Rio and Catalan-GO. In October celebrates the patron saint of blacks Our Lady of the Rosary, through rituals, songs and prayers for the members representing the coronation of King of Africa and devotion in honor of the patron saint. The study was conducted with literature and participatory methodology interview and sought essentially answer the questions: Has there been any change in the party over the years in the group, has some divergence among members Responses indicated for the lack of unity of the group, lack of community support, lack of interaction with the Catholic Church the congadeiros and the transformations that constantly flock in party. Para understand the changes that have happened and are still happening around the Congada ritual in Pires do Rio and Catalan, the emergence myths the songs, I propose to analyze the reports from the components, congadeiros and former members of society the reality of this festivity. In this sense, we seek to deconstruct the idea that the traditions can not be changed.
Este trabalho tem a finalidade de mostrar as diferenças e similaridades entre as Congadas de Pires do Rio e Catalão, demonstrando que cada uma tem uma história e características particulares. No mês de outubro celebra a padroeira dos negros Nossa Senhora do Rosário, através de ritos, músicas e orações que representam para os integrantes a coroação do rei da África e a devoção em homenagem à santa protetora. O estudo foi realizado com pesquisa bibliográfica e entrevista de metodologia participativa e procurou responder essencialmente as questões: Houve alguma mudança na festa ao longo dos anos? No grupo, tem alguma divergência entre os integrantes?As respostas indicaram para a falta de união do grupo, falta de apoio da comunidade, falta de interação da Igreja Católica com os congadeiros e as transformações que acorrem constantemente na festa. Para entendermos as mudanças que aconteceram e ainda acontecem em torno do ritual Congada, em Pires do Rio e Catalão, o surgimento, os mitos, as músicas, proponho analisar a partir de relatos dos componentes, ex-congadeiros e membros da sociedade a realidade desta festividade. Neste sentido, buscamos desconstruir a ideia de que as tradições não podem ser mudadas.

This work aims at investigating the devotional trajectory of rubber tappers from the Acre River Valley, who managed to re-signify in the course of many decades the popular devotion brought from the Brazilian northeastern region, producing new meanings for their lives through faith. It seeks to show the importance of faith and devotion of hundreds of devotees who inhabit the forests and towns in the Acre River Valley. It also intends to present the various manners those rubber tappers have found to overcome daily difficulties, such as diseases, dangers in the forest, attacks by poisonous animals, and falls from trees or bridges. This research, though grounded in popular religiousness, shows the fragility or the mere state of abandonment of the in-forest inhabitants, and it thus justifies the search to understand the reasons that lead them to turn to faith and popular devotion in order to find ways to overcome daily difficulties and the absence of government assistance. It entertains the hypothesis that those devotees find meaning and reason to life through their faith in Santa Raimunda (Saint Raimunda), and in the protection She offers. Interviews and direct contacts with them during pilgrimages in the varadouros (small roads in rubber plantations), beads, and homage at Santa Raimunda´s tomb gave us the opportunity to gather rich and important data. The results show that the devotion to Santa Raimunda do Bom Sucesso (Saint Raimunda of Good Success) kept and still keeps the devotees men and women ready for their daily struggles, giving meaning to their lives and renewing their hopes. Devotion provided them strength to live in the rubber plantations as long as possible, and continues to support their lives in the periphery of the capital city of Rio Branco
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo investigar a trajetória devocional de seringueiros do vale do rio Acre, que ao longo de várias décadas conseguiram ressignificar a devoção popular que trouxeram do nordeste brasileiro, dando assim um novo sentido para suas vidas, por meio da fé. Devoção que já se faz presente há algumas décadas, dentro e fora dos seringais acreano. Objetiva-se mostrar a fé e a devoção de centenas de devotos que habitam as florestas e as cidades do vale do rio Acre, pois encontraram na devoção à Santa Raimunda do Bom Sucesso, uma maneira de dignificar suas vidas. Pretende-se, ainda, apresentar as diversas maneiras encontradas para superar as dificuldades diárias, sejam elas doenças, perigos existentes na floresta, ataques de animais peçonhentos, quedas de árvores ou pontes. A pesquisa, embora fundamentada na religiosidade popular, mostra a situação de fragilidade ou até mesmo abandono dos habitantes que residem dentro da floresta, o que justifica pesquisar as causas que os levam a buscar na fé e na devoção popular maneiras para superar as dificuldades do dia a dia e a ausência do Estado. Sustenta-se a hipótese de que os devotos encontram sentido e razão para viver, por meio da fé e da proteção de Santa Raimunda. Entrevistas, contatos com os devotos na peregrinação, no varadouro, na reza dos terços e junto à sepultura, prestando homenagem à Santa Raimunda, possibilitaram uma rica coleta de dados. Os resultados da pesquisa atestam que a devoção em Santa Raimunda do Bom Sucesso manteve e mantém seus devotos, homens e mulheres, nas suas lutas diárias, dando sentido e renovando a esperança. A devoção deu a eles força para viverem e resistirem o quanto puderam nos seringais e continua sustentando, cotidianamente, suas vidas nas periferias da cidade de Rio Branco para encontrar saídas aos seus problemas, nas brechas existentes na devoção popular de Santa Raimunda do Bom Sucesso

Previous issue date: 2012-11-13This research presents a study about representations and identity present in the cultural memory of the community that make rollicks of kings, a cultural practice of the religion of the people in Rio Verde, Goiás. We verify the recall of the myth by the community of devotes presents in the neighborhoods and regions poor the city. In this sense, we motive the research in its historical context, since the issue of cult in Europe and its migration to Brazil of old parties´ king, in January and rollicks to the integration of dance and singing as a popular practice. From diffusion of the devotion by a colony marked by ethnic miscegenation, the ritual spread by the Brazilian population. The hybridity of the culture of religious practices is a reality that is categorically different from the official Catholicism and orthodox. The cult of holy memory of kings is shaped regionalities and peculiarities of that community, which reinvents the ritual in this historical research.
Esta pesquisa apresenta um estudo das representações e da identidade, presentes na memória cultural da comunidade praticante da Folia de Reis. Trata-se, pois, de uma prática cultural da religião do povo em Rio Verde, Goiás. Verificamos a rememoração do mito pela comunidade dos devotos presentes nos bairros e regiões carentes do município. Nesse sentido, fundamentamos a pesquisa, por meio de um contexto histórico, desde o surgimento do culto na Europa e sua migração para o Brasil. Além disso, sumarizamos o contexto das antigas reisadas, janeiras e folias até a integração da dança e do canto como prática popular. A partir da difusão da devoção por uma colônia, marcada pela miscigenação étnica, o rito se difundiu pela população brasileira. O hibridismo da cultura das práticas religiosas é uma realidade que, categoricamente, se diferencia do catolicismo oficial e ortodoxo. O culto, à memória dos santos reis, constitui-se de regionalidades e peculiaridades daquela comunidade, a qual reinventa o ritual, historiado nesta pesquisa.

Full textAbstract:
Lors de la conférence de Carême qu'il prononça à Notre-Dame de Paris, le 21 février 1999, le père Jean-Robert Armogathe rappela que la voix de l'orgue offre un accès privilégié au sacré, en contribuant à la création d'un "espace de sensibilité" favorable à la rencontre du transcendant. La méditation musicale des orgues permet, selon lui, de pénétrer dans la compréhension du mystère divin, qui, comme l'affirme le Nouveau Testament, est demeuré caché aux puissants, se dévoilant au coeur des humbles et des petits. Depuis l'époque patristique, le culte chrétien attribue à l'orgue une fonction théologale et mystagogique, qui introduit le sujet croyant dans une expérience du divin, d'ordre tant rationnel qu'émotionnel. La méthode allégorique fondée par Origène et Tertullien, illustrée par l'Ecole française de spiritualité (Olier, Grimaud, Thomassin), puis par les catholiques romantiques (Lamennais, d'Ortigue, Chateaubriand), légitime la présence de l'orgue dans le sanctuaire, tout en précisant son rôle dans la scène cérémoniale. Sa structure sonore offre une représentation sensible des réalités invisibles du kérygme chrétien : la multiplicité des tuyaux, le vent émis par les soufflets et les sons prolongés évoquent respectivement la communion des Saints, le souffle de l'Esprit et l'Eternité divine. L'orgue est un signe sacramentel qui participe, selon Jean-Yves Hameline, à une poétique sonore de la foi. Faisant écho à la crise liturgique suscitée par les dernières décisions conciliaires, cette étude vise à rappeler ce que l'Eglise catholique demande à ses musiciens, en incitant à une re-estimation du rôle de l'orgue dans "l'écologie sonore" de la célébration. Quels sont les critères de convenance -théologiques, rhétoriques et stylistiques- qui mesurent l'aptitude d'un instrument ou d'un répertoire à participer à la célébration du culte catholique ? Comment cette question a-t-elle influencé la praxis des organistes français depuis le Concile de Trente ?In the Lent sermon he gave in the church of Notre-Dame of Paris on February 21st, 1999, the Rev. Jean-Robert Armogathe reminded his audience that the sound of the organ gives us a most creditable access to the sacred by enabling our senses to experience transcendency both rationally and emotionally : by accompanying our meditations, organ music leads us into te very mystery of the Divine, which, according to the New Testament, ignores the powerful and only unveils itself to its humbler servants. Thus, ever since the early days of Christianity, the organ has been endowed with both a theologal and mystagogic function. The method of allegory, founded by Origen and Tertullian and illustrated first by the French school of spirituality (Olier, Grimaud, Thomassin), then by the Catholics of the Romantic period (Lamennais, d'Ortigue, Chateaubriand), legitimates the presence of the organ in the sanctuary and specifies the role it is to play in the ceremonial scene. Indeed, such an instrument does provide our senses with a representation of the invisible realities of the Christian kerygma, as the multiplicity of its pipes, the wind blown out by its bellows, and its prolonged sounds evoke respectively the communion of the Saints, the breath of the Holy Spirit and the eternity of God. The organ is a sacramental sign, according to Jean-Yves Hameline, has to do with the poetics of faith itself. As a response to the crisis of liturgy created by the latest decisions of the Council, this study proposes to retrace what the Roman Catholic church expects from its musicians, by giving grounds for a new appraisal of the part the organ plays in the "ecology of sound" of celebrations. What criteria -be they either theological, rhetorical or stylistic- should therefore be taken into account to decide whether an instrument or a repertoire is fit to take part in the celebration of the Catholic ritual ? And how has this question influenced the praxis of the French organists since the Council of Trento ?

The profile the individual creates on social media can be likened to a digital panopticon. How this profilicity has developed is examined by reviewing seven texts concerning the creation of identity. After this, five paradigms emerge that map how profilicity has developed through history and how the profile has become a digital panopticon in a post-political society. The profile thus becomes a tool for strengthening the hegemony that prevails in society.Profilen individen skapat på sociala medier kan liknas vid ett digitalt panoptikon.

Profilen blir således ett verktyg för att förstärka den hegemoni som råder i samhället.

Previous issue date: 2015-02-20This dissertation aims to identify, describe and understand the current invisibility of the Feast of the Holy Spirit in the city of Araguaína-TO. That district, the demonstration in honor of the Divine experienced its heyday in the late 1960s and early 1970s, just when the region experienced a major outbreak of economic and political development, attracting thousands of devotees. Around the second half of the 1980s, however, diminished the enthusiasm and popular participation in the party, as well as the rituals and the support from the Catholic Church and the State. Our research is supported by both the literature works and publications of writers, academic institutions and articles available in electronic media, as in exploratory research with interviews with participants devotees of the Party from the 1970s to the present day. Our filing is justified in understanding how communities, especially rural ones, which have a very strong connection with religion, interact to form your cultural leather, encompassing the preservation of assumptions and heritage for future generations of social elements trainers and anthropological identity of a population. Even that may occur a transformation movement of the presence of the faithful in the celebration of the Divine Party in Araguaina-TO, especially in recent decades, yet this celebration is worthy of study so that they can understand the aspects that come motivating your loss faithful. The study results provide a glimpse that the importance of the Feast of the Holy Spirit in Araguaína-TO is the renewal of the identity of the Tocantins people, social interaction of the population, in reaffirming their cultural assumptions. In this sense, the interviews glimpse, and a nostalgia of decades past, when the Divine festival that territory was an event of great proportions, also a resumption of self-esteem and appreciation, when religious celebration had echo in the other Brazilian regions, raising the social importance of Tocantins people.
A presente dissertação objetiva identificar, descrever e compreender a invisibilidade atual da Festa do Divino Espírito Santo na cidade de Araguaína-TO. Nesse município, a manifestação em honra ao Divino conheceu seu apogeu em fins da década de 1960 e início da década de 1970, justamente quando a região passou por um importante surto de desenvolvimento econômico e político, atraindo milhares de devotos. Por volta da segunda metade dos anos de 1980, no entanto, diminuíram o entusiasmo e a participação popular na festa, assim como os rituais e o apoio da Igreja Católica e do Estado. Nossa investigação apoia-se tanto na pesquisa bibliográfica de obras e publicações de escritores, instituições acadêmicas e artigos disponibilizados em meio eletrônico, quanto na pesquisa exploratória, com entrevistas realizadas com devotos participantes da Festa desde os anos de 1970 até os dias atuais. Nossa propositura justifica-se no entendimento de como as comunidades, principalmente as rurais, que possuem uma ligação bastante forte com a religião, interagem entre si para formar o seu cabedal cultural, que engloba os pressupostos de preservação e herança para gerações futuras dos elementos sociais e antropológicos formadores da identidade de uma população. Mesmo que venha ocorrendo um movimento de transformação da presença dos fiéis nas comemorações da Festa do Divino em Araguaína-TO, principalmente nas últimas décadas, ainda assim tal comemoração é digna de estudo para que se possam compreender os aspectos que vêm motivando a sua perda de fiéis. Os resultados do estudo permitem vislumbrar que a importância da Festa do Divino Espírito Santo em Araguaína-TO está na renovação da identidade do povo tocantinense, na interação social da população, na reafirmação dos seus pressupostos culturais. Nesse sentido, os discursos dos entrevistados deixam entrever, além de uma nostalgia de décadas passadas, de quando a Festa do Divino nesse território era um acontecimento de grandes proporções, também uma retomada da autoestima e da valorização, quando a comemoração religiosa possuía eco nas demais regiões brasileiras, elevando a importância social do povo tocantinense.

Esta Tesis Doctoral estudia los libros manuscritos de polifonía sacra renacentista copiados entre ca. 1550 y 1626 que se conservan en dos bibliotecas de Barcelona, examina su repertorio y explora su relación con la vida musical en Barcelona durante ese periodo. Esta investigación se centra en dos áreas hasta ahora insuficientemente consideradas en los estudios sobre la música en Barcelona durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVI y principios del siglo XVII: por un lado, los libros de polifonía conservados, que carecen, la mayoría, de estudios exhaustivos y actualizados, y, por otro, la exploración de la vida musical religiosa en la ciudad adoptando una perspectiva urbana, distinta al enfoque institucional y biográfico que ha prevalecido en trabajos previos.
La Tesis consta de cuatro capítulos estructurados en dos partes (Volumen I: Estudio), y de diecisiete apéndices (Volumen II: Apéndices). La Parte I (Capítulos I y
II) está dedicada al estudio de los libros manuscritos de polifonía de la época que se conservan en bibliotecas de Barcelona y de su repertorio. El Capítulo I investiga en detalle veinte manuscritos de polifonía sacra (ca. 1550-1626) de la Biblioteca de Catalunya y del Centre de Documentació de l’Orfeó Català. Cada manuscrito se analiza a partir de su codicología y de su contenido musical, lo que conduce a presentar hipótesis razonadas sobre su origen y cronología. Los veinte libros analizados muestran conexiones con instituciones eclesiásticas de Barcelona, pero también con otras localidades de Cataluña: Vic, Mataró, Tarragona, La Seu d’Urgell, Girona y Castelló d’Empúries. El Capítulo II estudia las características y circulación de la polifonía sacra en Cataluña entre ca. 1550-1626 a través de las más de 500 obras copiadas en los manuscritos estudiados; el Capítulo se organiza por géneros musicales: misas, motetes, salmos, himnos, magníficats, antífonas, pasiones, lamentaciones y responsorios. Este estudio se complementa también con la evidencia que proporcionan tanto inventarios de libros redactados en la época como los 119 libros impresos de polifonía conservados en bibliotecas de Barcelona.
La Parte II (Capítulos III y IV) explora la vida musical religiosa en la ciudad. El Capítulo III muestra cómo el estatus privilegiado de la Catedral respecto al resto de instituciones eclesiásticas de la ciudad se concretó en prerrogativas específicas en materia musical, litúrgica y ceremonial. Mediante el análisis de los calendarios litúrgicos diocesanos y otras fuentes se realiza una aproximación a cómo los cambios litúrgicos propugnados por el Concilio de Trento incidieron a nivel local, y se explora la presencia de la música en el ceremonial de la Catedral, enfatizando la proyección que éste tenía en el espacio urbano. A continuación, se estudian, por una parte, el rol de la música en distintas tipologías de ceremonial funerario y, por otra, rituales festivos, de acción de gracias y de rogativas en los que el canto del himno Te Deum laudamus constituía la principal actividad musical. El Capítulo IV explora prácticas musicales vinculadas a la devoción mariana en el contexto de las cofradías de la Barcelona de la época. Al inicio del Capítulo se realiza una aproximación a la topografía de la devoción mariana en la ciudad, identificando los lugares de culto a la Virgen que existían en el espacio urbano y prácticas musicales que tenían lugar en algunos de estos espacios. Empleando fuentes documentales muy diversas, se muestran las actividades musicales de las que posiblemente fueron las dos cofradías marianas más destacadas en la ciudad: la cofradía de la Concepción en la Catedral y la cofradía del Rosario en el convento de Santa Caterina. El Volumen II contiene diecisiete apéndices que incluyen inventarios detallados de los veinte manuscritos estudiados, un censo completo de los libros impresos de polifonía en bibliotecas de Barcelona y abundante documentación relacionada con la investigación.This Doctoral Dissertation studies manuscript books of Renaissance sacred polyphony extant in two Barcelona libraries copied between ca. 1550 and 1626, examines their repertoire, and explores their relationship with sacred musical life in Barcelona during that period. This research focuses on two areas hitherto insufficiently considered in music studies about Barcelona during the second half of the sixteenth and beginning of the seventeenth century: on the one hand, the books of polyphony, which lack, most of them, exhaustive and updated studies, and, on the other hand, the investigation of the sacred musical life in the city adopting an urban perspective, different from the institutional and biographic approach that has prevailed in previous research. The Dissertation consists of two volumes: Volume I (Study), with four chapters structured in two parts, and Volume II (Appendices). Part I (Chapters I and II) is devoted to the study of manuscript books of sacred polyphony (ca. 1550-1626) in two Barcelona libraries and their repertoire. Chapter I investigates in detail twenty manuscripts of sacred polyphony at the Biblioteca de Catalunya and the Centre de Documentació de l'Orfeó Català. The codicology and repertoire of each manuscript is analyzed, which leads to establish reasoned hypotheses about its origin and chronology. The twenty books of polyphony are related to ecclesiastical institutions in Barcelona and in other Catalan locations: Vic, Mataró, Tarragona, La Seu d’Urgell, Girona y Castelló d’Empúries. Chapter II analyses the characteristics and circulation of sacred polyphony in Catalonia from ca. 1550-1626 through more than 500 works copied in the studied manuscripts; the Chapter is organized by musical genres: masses, motets, psalms, hymns, magnificats, antiphons, passions, lamentations and responsories. This study is also complemented by the evidence provided by book inventories of the time and by the 119 printed books of polyphony preserved in Barcelona libraries. Part II (Chapters III and IV) explores religious musical life in the city. Chapter III shows the Cathedral’s privileged status —with particular musical, liturgical and ceremonial prerogatives— with respect to the other ecclesiastical institutions of the city. Through the analysis of the diocesan liturgical calendars and other sources, Chapter III explores how the changes promoted by the Council of Trent affected local liturgy, and describes the Cathedral’s music ceremonial, emphasizing its projection in the urban space. Chapter III studies the role of music in different types of funerary rituals, and the celebratory events, as well as processions for thanksgiving and rogations in which the singing of the hymn Te Deum laudamus was the main musical activity. Chapter IV is devoted to the study of musical practices linked to Marian devotion, a subject that leads to explore the world of the confraternities of Barcelona at that time. The chapter presents an approach to the topography of Marian devotion in the city, identifying places of Marian worship and musical practices that took place in some of these places. Chapter IV explores the musical activities of what were possibly the two most important Marian brotherhoods in the city: the Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception in the Cathedral and the Confraternity of the Rosary in the convent of Santa Caterina. Volume II contains seventeenth appendices that include detailed inventories of the twenty studied manuscripts, a complete census of printed books of polyphony in Barcelona libraries, and abundant documentation related to this research.

Full textAbstract:
L'indagine qui condotta è dedicata ai gioielli legati alla religione cristiana. In particolare essa è volta a indagare la produzione e il consumo di monili devozionali in Veneto nel corso del XVI secolo. Accanto ai pezzi conservatisi fino ai nostri giorni e alle fonti scritte, soprattutto inventari, lo studio ha considerato anche i pezzi rappresentati tramite il medium pittorico.
Il primo compito di questo lavoro è stato quello di riflettere sull'esatta definizione dell'oggetto di ricerca e sulla metodologia di studio del monile. L'attenzione è poi stata concentrata sull'ambito del gioiello devozionale come espressione di identità religiosa e come oggetto centrale all'interno delle pratiche devozionali.
Il Cinquecento è stato un periodo cruciale sia per la storia religiosa che per quella dell'oreficeria. È il secolo della Riforma protestante e nel contempo un momento di grandi innovazioni nell'ambito dell'arte aurificiaria, che modificano sensibilmente la produzione e la fruizione dei gioielli. La scelta di concentrarsi su Venezia e sul suo Stato da Terra, un territorio che oggi corrisponde al Veneto e a parte della Lombardia, ha permesso di concentrarsi contemporaneamente su entrambi gli aspetti.
Venezia fu infatti un centro di commercio e produzione di fama internazionale per quanto concerne i beni di lusso, e fu proprio in questo torno d'anni che iniziò a emerge la fortuna del centro orafo di Vicenza. Importanti produzioni si registrarono anche nelle altre città del territorio della Serenissima.
Nel contempo, si diffusero in quest'area in modo assai capillare tre diverse religioni protestanti: il luteranesimo, il calvinismo e l'anabattismo. Moltissimi cittadini si convertirono alle nuove fedi evangeliche in uno stato che, per quanto in contrasto costante con il papato, rimase sempre cattolico. Questo particolare aspetto ha permesso di indagare anche le dinamiche che coinvolgono l'esternazione dell'identità protestante in un luogo in cui essa era proibita e considerata eretica, e perciò non poteva essere mostrata apertamente senza rischi. Questo lavoro indaga però anche i segni lasciati nella cultura materiale cattolica da parte dell'avvento del protestantesimo. Diverse evidenze mostrano che tendenze e simboli preesistenti si consolidarono e si affermarono proprio in questo periodo, poiché adatti a identificare l'identità cattolica in risposta alle critiche protestanti.
È in sintesi stato possibile dividere i gioielli in tipologie distinte e ben individuabili e rintracciare degli schemi ricorrenti. Questo studio ha inoltre permesso di riscoprire alcuni gioielli inediti o poco conosciuti, conservati nei depositi dei musei, e nel contempo di formulare nuove ipotesi su alcuni pezzi maggiormente noti. La tesi raccoglie inoltre diversi documenti coevi, di cui alcuni inediti, in grado di gettare nuova luce sui gioielli devozionali usati in Veneto, e in particolare sulla pratica di donare i preziosi come offerte votive. Nel contempo, sono discussi numerosi casi di rappresentazioni di monili nei dipinti, e in particolare nei ritratti, che hanno fornito la possibilità di interpretazioni nuove e più precise delle diverse tipologie di gioielli e di come esse fossero utilizzate.The aim of this research is to study the link between jewellery and Christian religion. In particular it explores the production and consumption of devotional jewellery in 16th century Veneto. My investigation is based on actual jewels, on written sources, such as inventories, and on depiction of jewellery in coeval paintings. First of all, this thesis defines the object of the research and discusses the methodology of jewellery studies. It afterwards focuses on jewels as a means to express religious identity, and as devotional aids for worship services and domestic prayer. The 16th century has been a crucial period from the point of view of both religious studies and jewellery studies. During this period, the Protestant Reformation became widespread all over Europe. At the same time, major innovations in goldsmith's art dramatically changed the production and consumption of jewellery. These aspects can be deeply investigated within Venetian context, and in particular in the city of Venice and in its Stato da Terra, namely its mainland territories. This area can be identified as the present Veneto region and part of the Lombardia region. The 16th century Venice was one of the places in Europe most famous for production and trading of luxury goods. In this same period Vicenza became an important manufacturing centre, specialized in jewellery production, and also other towns in the Veneto were renowned for their conspicuous jewellery production. At the same time, Lutheranism, Calvinism and Anabaptism, namely three of the major Protestant religions, were being diffused within the Stato da Terra. Many citizens of the Serenissima decide to embrace Protestant ideas. Even though the Venetian state often criticized the supremacy of the Papacy, the Serenissima adopted and never abandoned Catholicism as its state religion. This particular aspect was crucial in the investigation on communication of Protestant identity within a Catholic framework. It should be remembered that, within this context, Protestantism was considered as an heretical movement, and thus Protestant believers could be condemned by the Tribunal of the Holy Inquisition. Therefore, Protestant identity could only be conveyed by means of cryptic symbols. The study investigates this particular aspect together with Protestant influence on Catholic material culture. Research results tend in fact to confirm that existing Catholic symbols that were not common before the advent of the Reformation, became widespread in reaction to Protestantism, being deemed really representative of Catholic identity. To sum up, this research answers the opportunity to recognize and investigate different typologies of jewellery, and to study recurrent patterns and features in these typologies. Yet unpublished and less studied jewels, usually kept in museum's storages are taken into account in this thesis. New hypotheses on famous objects of art are proposed too. Coeval documents, published and unpublished, help to shed new light on how devotional jewels were used in the Veneto, with particular regard to the phenomenon of precious votive offerings. At the same time, representations of jewels in paintings, mainly in portraits, are discussed as a way to analyse more in depth jewellery typologies and the ways and means in which devotional jewels were designed and made use of.

Esta dissertação propõe-se a apresentar o estudo referente à produção artística da representação do Menino Jesus do Monte produzida pelas religiosas do Recolhimento de Nossa Senhora dos Humildes, em Santo Amaro da Purificação/BA, no século XIX. A pesquisa fundamentou-se no método de análise formal de quinze imagens, selecionadas por apresentarem semelhanças quanto à técnica empregada na manufatura e materiais utilizados na ornamentação. Foram utilizados também os métodos comparativo e iconográfico-iconológico, como forma de identificar influências provenientes de composições artísticas com temáticas similares, estabelecendo semelhanças e diferenças. Considerou-se ainda o objeto de estudo dentro do seu contexto histórico, embasado na história religiosa e história da arte. Foram consultadas fontes primárias e secundárias, documentações museológicas, além das fontes materiais e orais. Mostrou-se o grande número de interpretações iconográficas referentes à infância de Jesus, destacando os aspectos culturais e estéticos que envolveram sua produção e difusão. Identificou-se, nas imagens confeccionadas no Recolhimento dos Humildes, uma grande variedade de elementos utilizados na sua ornamentação, através de um estudo detalhado dos objetos, evidenciando a técnica empregada no trabalho manual das religiosas. A análise dos dados revelou que, apesar de conter elementos iconográficos encontrados em representações artísticas similares, como as esculturas indo-portuguesas do Bom Pastor ou os tradicionais presépios de origem européia, a incorporação e predomínio de elementos da cultura local propiciaram à representação do Menino Jesus do Monte a construção de um modelo iconográfico único. Conclusivamente destacou-se que, sua estética singular, fruto da devoção e sensibilidade feminina, ressalta e revela valores primordiais da produção artística sacra nacional, relevantes para a história da arte.
