Abstract:
Sacredness in Catholic churches has two aspects: sacredness derived from the purpose and activities of worship and sacredness that arises from the physical and spatial aspects of a church building. The purpose of this study was to reveal factors that affect sacredness in Catholic churches from the perspective of the worshiper. The researchers conducted an exploratory qualitative research to collect text data related to the perception of Catholic church sacredness. The data were collected through an online questionnaire. The researchers also conducted an explanatory quantitative research to uncover the relationship between level of church sacredness and physical and nonphysical factors. The results showed that the ‘sacred spirit’ factor tends to be more dominant in affecting church sacredness compared to ‘sacred object’. Worshipers measure church sacredness according to ‘devoted reflection’, ‘relationship with God’, ‘quality of space’, ‘enclosure acculturation’, and ‘building style’.

Abstract:
The importance of the notion of sacredness is well recognized, but its central characteristics remain elusive. A solution can be found by shifting the focus of attention from the objects, persons or rituals which are deemed to be sacred to the statements about those objects. Such statements are accepted by the believer as unquestionably true while being unprovable. Sacredness is thus a feature of statements, not of objects. Sacredness is a procedure whereby a statement may be deemed to be true in the absence of the usual modes of verification, and it thus defines a particular kind of knowledge, distinct from common sense.

Abstract:
Taking two long-distance walking pilgrimages (Dajia 大甲 and Baishatun 白沙 屯) held annually in Taiwan as an example, this article discusses how bodily techniques and material technologies engender a sense of sacredness through bodily experience during a walking pilgrimage. “Bodily techniques” include methods of physical action, walking meditation, mental concentration, reduction in logical thinking and discrimination, sharpening of the senses, and mental reset, etc. “Material technologies” include public transport, infrastructure, printing methods, and digital media technologies, etc. The first part of the article emphasizes the differences between urban and rural pilgrims concerning different body-mind practices. The second part focuses on the new media technologies shared by both the modernized Dajia and the traditional Baishatun pilgrimages. From these two pilgrimages we can see that, while technologies do not impede the emergence of a sense of sacrednesss, overall bodily techniques play a greater role in engendering a sense of sacredness than media technologies.

Abstract:
The article examines the concept of holiness (sacredness) as a phenomenon of human culture in close connection with the history of its formation. In the process of analyzing the findings of scientists who studied the nature of the phenomenon of sacredness, the author proves that sacredness is a phenomenon that includes not only religious life, but also cultural and spiritual life in general. Therefore, in this respect, the concept of spirituality is also a concept close to the concept of sacredness. Therefore, he concludes that the idea of sacredness, like spirituality, can be considered as a universal and ahistorical universal core. The analysis of the scientific foundations of the conceptual understanding of sacred or holy values in the Kazakh worldview, originating from ancient Turkic traditions, is considered a novelty of the article.

Abstract:
This article examines the notions of left and right poles of Georges Bataille’s sacredness and also analyses their complexity and ambiguous meaning of duality and binary’s contexts through a prism they are usually viewed. Particularly, key factors that influence Bataille’s thought of sacredness are being analysed, the criticism of wrong notion of sacredness interpretation by modern philosophers is being formed. Based on challenging positions of sacred and profane’s binary opposition and also revealing volatile and random movements between pure and impure sacredness and between sacred and profane, Bataille’s philosophy actuality is being proved. Despite wide researches held in this field Bataille’s philosophy potential is still not fully revealed in relation to modern cultural and social researches of religion and philosophical anthropology.

Abstract:
This creative project was initiated primarily by two concerns. First, an interest into just what constituted sacredness or the sacred experience, and second, the current state of almost helplessness that man seems to exhibit when called upon to creatively address the myriad of life-threatening problems that contemporary society has spawned. The various connections betweer these two concerns constituted the foundation of this creative project, out of which emerged various hypotheses concerning the important roles that the built (and natural) environment play in the communication of the sacred experience. That this experience, communicated to individuals via the environment, can be extremely helpful in mending the almost ubiquitous mental and 'spiritual' fragmentation of our species, there is much to support. And increased holism within invariably manifests itself without. Thus it is proposed that careful and informed manipulation (ie., design) of the environment can be essential in eventually elevating the consciousness of man, much in the manner that this was achieved by ancient cultures such as the Greeks and the Egyptians, to name a few. In addition, this design intent will hopefully oblige designers to view the process of their craft in a new light - one that hopefully elevates it to a new and more enlightened level.

Abstract:
This dissertation aims to present a model of sacredness – MAPR – that emphasizes four components to empirically study sacredness: source of meaning (M), experience of awe (A), protection against the profane (P), and relationship to religion (R). The empirical studies focus on the psychological mechanisms of protecting, and examine the association of violence and violation of sacredness. Five studies examined the hypothesized effect of violating sacredness on moral judgment and support for war. Hypothetical and semi-real scenarios were created in which a sacred site (versus a military site) is attacked and participants report the degree to which they support war as counterattack. Results showed no effects of sacredness in eliciting violence (Study 1). The proposed effect did not show either with fine-tuned aspects of sacredness: religious sacredness and ethnonational sacredness (Study 2), or under feeling prime (Study 3). This effect did not show with an Iranian sample either (Study 4). To address possible methodological challenges, we checked the manipulation scenarios by changing the non-sacred condition into a manufacture plant (previously a military site). The null results remained unchallenged (Study 5a). We also examined individuals’ attitudes toward attacking the sacred site in Study 2, and counterattacking for the sacred site in Study 3. In addition, some personality variables were included to index the characteristics of individuals who support protecting the sacredness. No clear pattern was observed. The results suggest the possibility that the connection of sacredness and violence may be a misconception. The null finding has significant implications in today’s tumultuous world, where dialogue is needed between different faith communities, and terrorism can and should be distinguished from religious commitment.

Abstract:
The thesis explores how a small First Nation community (pop. 770) could find a means for implementing programs for Native language revitalization that engenders the strengths from the culture as a conducive and more effective learning environment. The investigation was done as a qualitative case study that respects Indigenous standards for reciprocity and responsibility as a research style. Through a research-as-participant method, the research reciprocated with language initiatives as action research. In order for the language to excel using second-language methodologies, this study concludes, it will be necessary to form a receptive environment based on cultural concerns with sacred origins and local epistemologies. There is also a need for local reconciliation and healing resulting from injustices inflicted by colonialist policies. Much work is demanded in the local level in cultural interpretation and reconstruction of Indigenous knowledge, while revitalizing the First Native language through methodologies conducive to intergenerational passage and through collaborative organizational style. The research also found that First Nations both professional and lay-persons may not be aware of the need to break away from many Eurocentric paradigms that interfere with the full appreciation and application of Indigenous group dynamics and socialization.

Abstract:
Sacredness is one of several human concepts which attempt to frame a spontaneous reaction to unknown and mysterious forces. The normal representation of sacredness is through religious imagery and practices. To address such an ideology needs an understanding of the essential concept of sacredness and a specific sense of its expression. The writer is a professional photographer, digital theorist, and also a Roman Catholic concerned with modern expressions of religious faith. The internet is one of the most effective methods of facilitating the depiction of human life today and I am interested in expressing forms of sacredness through a website and in addressing the difficulties this entails. I have analysed the methods and concepts used for the representation of sacredness through various media, and intend to make an appropriate example as an educational resource, making creative use of new media and photography. The primary aim of this research is to present case studies of numerous elements of sacredness, through a study of the Bulguksa Buddhist Temple, based on the website which I have built (http: //bulguksa. pe. kr) and my own photographs. It is intended it will become a valuable research example of delivering the artist's intentions through the internet or other media. The body of work of this investigation divides into two parts. The first is two forms of practical artworks which are; a website of Bulguk Temple and a photographic artist's book, entitled `The sacred light in silence'. The second is a written component which is divided into two books. Book 1 consists of theoretical research around the concept of the sacred in religious architecture through the five research questions and includes case studies of historical and contemporary artists and their artworks. Book 2 consists of critical research of my artworks, the website and selected photographs with my original analysis methodology. The four items of the two parts - Book 1, Book 2, the Artist's Book and a CD-rom - are enclosed in a wooden box, designed by me and based on Korean traditional furniture design (for reasons expanded upon in the text). In conclusion: visualising sacredness is dependent upon retaining its meanings and properties during the transformation from three dimensions (real world) to a two dimensional plane of expression. Human emotion manifests itself in response to internal and external stimuli. That is, the spiritual essence of sacredness can be fully evoked by the combination of human feeling and reverence, and the magnification of the sacred, by means of external visual media. This thesis explores the nature of sacredness and its visualisation through photography and the website. vii

Abstract:

It is not possible in this paper to deal with all the moral problems revolving at the &ldquo
beginning&rdquo
and &ldquo
end&rdquo
of human life in the modern world. However, something must be said about the question regarding respect for human life vis-à
-vis abortion and euthanasia, since they are widely discussed today and since they strike at the very heart of traditional morality. The dignity and worth of individual life cannot be derived from analysis of individual life itself. Humanity is not the measure of all things. Whatever value human beings have is strictly transitory unless it is in our relationship to some ultimate source of value outside us. Christian faith understands human value as being established by our relationship with God - a relationship created and given by God himself. It is because we have our being from God and are sustained by God that we can meaningfully affirm the value of individual human life.

Abstract:
Instead of exploring explicit textual or ideological influences of the philosophy of F.W. Nietzsche on Modernist literary writers, this thesis analyses the points at which works such as James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets bear an implicit relationship to an aesthetic theory for which the notion of representation (artistic or philosophical) and that of sacredness must be thought together. Such a theory is to be found most explicitly in Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy, although some of his earlier and later writings engage with it too. Thus, from the points of convergence of the sacred and the aesthetic that appear in The Birth of Tragedy, I extract the keys for a theory of representation at large, of Nietzschean import, in order to contrast the notion of philosophical representation (Vorstellung) with the activities and discourses which philosophy has traditionally tried to avoid: rituals and myths. Out of this contrast, the conclusion emerges that there is a genealogical progression from ritual (specifically sacrifice) to myth, and from this to philosophical and artistic representation; that is to say, that only after a myth (whose root was a ritual) has lost its religious value, can philosophy and art (and literature in particular) enjoy a fully separate existence, as the secularised discourses that characterise our Modernity: (here modern science is included as a development and continuation of the philosophical discourse). What makes Modernist writers play an essential role in this respect is their tacit awareness of this genealogy, which is manifested in their aesthetic practice. Two instances of this practice are analysed here, in their mythopoeic character (mainly derived from the mythic possibilities of Christianity), and their questioning of modern notions (selfhood, identity, individuality). They re-enact the original sacred speech previous to our secularised modern aesthetics.

Abstract:
This study is an interdisciplinary investigation into the notion of place and, particularly, a sacred place. Disciplines such as Architecture, Philosophy, and Social Anthropology converge to explore the concepts of space, place, sacredness, genius loci, sacred architecture, and work of art, with particular reference to the cumbessias villages that represent important sites of popular religiosity in Sardinia (Italy). The analysis, which focuses on six of these villages mainly distributed in the central inland territory, has started from the premise that a sacred place, hence a cumbessias village, should be intended as a work of art. In this regard, we have welcomed and adopted the Heideggerian elaboration of the concept of 'place' together with that of 'work of art'. Places and works of art are both the outcome of a hermeneutical engagement, they are the result of a creative process. Yet, they are not inanimate objects but rather disclose a world of their own. The encounter between these worlds and the human creative agency disclose every time a new horizon of meaning nurturing both subjects of this relationship. We have been asking what kind of experience is lived by the people, the devotees, within these sacred places (i.e., cumbessias villages). Through what kind of process is this experience lived? And, eventually, what is the effect it produces on both the interlocutors, people and sacred places? Through the adoption of the Gadamerian metaphor of 'play' we have argued how the recurrent encounter between devotees and their sacred places (works of art) during the religious occasion of a novena is mutually constitutive on an existential level. It is precisely through devotees' complete participation in the alterity/otherness of the work of art or cumbessias village's own world that a so called 'enlargement of consciousness' and an increase of being/transformation can be achieved.

Abstract:
Authentic public memorials did not appear in the Chinese public space until the late 19th century. As a result of Western influence, many war memorials were built during the Republic of China era (1912-1949). Since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the government has invested much in developing public spaces. Also, the government placed many memorials in Chinese cities to shape collective memory and urban identity. The affection of solemnness, sacredness, and grandness is the main affection that most memorials are intended to embody, particularly those that commemorate famous people, the government’s achievement, and the deceased from natural disasters and wars. By taking the example of memorials built from 1942 to the present in Chongqing, China, this paper critically examines changes over time in the forms. In addition, taking the analysis result from memorial forms as a base and combining widely cited literature in Chinese and English, the paper further explores the negative impacts of the intensive focus of solemnness, sacredness, and grandness. This paper’s analysis identifies standard, persistent and symbolic features in Chinese memorials, despite the diverse landscape elements and advanced construction techniques. Key themes emerge from this research are solemnness, sacredness, and grandness. Also, it reveals the issues raised by the exclusive pursuit of these affections, including similar memorial forms, insufficient engagement of memorials, and the unitary research topics on memorials.

The rhombus as an ornamental motif of traditional art can be found both among the signs sewn on popular costumes or in interior textiles, on household objects, and among the shapes found in traditional cuisine. Being a geometrical motif with an archaic symbolic charge, characterized by perpetuity and cosmic sacredness, it was exploited and integrated into all the daily, celebratory and ceremonial circumstances of man. In this context, the objective of the study was directed towards the presentation of the multicriteria interpretation of this motif. On the one hand, the Rhombus carries a special semantic load, varied by the chromatic diversity and by the shapes it takes, and on the other hand, the aim is to record and fix some valuable images of the objects bearing this decorative element. Noted for its wide use, the Rhombus is found in its geometric meaning as a singular element, in ensembles of motifs and geometric compositions integrated with other inscribed motifs, but also in free rendering that involves changes in outline and proportions. Thus, knowing the multiple values of the rhombus allows the revitalization of some compositions from the national folk art and the preservation of this ancient primary ornamental motif, while the aesthetic valences and spiritual interferences will serve as a source of inspiration for today’s folk art creators. The paper presents the results of the study carried out within the State Program 20.8009.0807.17 REVICULT.

Abstract:
In Aotearoa New Zealand, as a consequence of colonisation, generations of Māori have been alienated from both their language and culture. This project harnessed an artistic re-consideration of pūrākau (traditional stories) such that previously fractured or erased stories relating to Māui-tikitiki-a-Taranga were orchestrated into a coherent narrative network. Storytelling is not the same as reading a story aloud or reciting a piece from memory. It also differs from performed drama, although it shares certain characteristics with all of these art forms. As a storyteller I look into the eyes of the audience and we both construct a virtual world. Together the listener and the teller compose the tale. The storyteller uses voice, pause and gesture; a listener, from the first moment, absorbs, reacts and co-creates. For each, the pūrākau is unique. Its story images differ. The experience can be profound, exercising thinking and emotional transformation. In the design of 14 episodes of the Māui narrative, connections were made between imagery, sound and the resonance of traditional, oral storytelling. The resulting Māui pūrākau, functions not only to revive the beauty of te reo Māori, but also to resurface traditional values that lie embedded within these ancient stories. The presentation contributes to knowledge through three distinct points. First, it supports language revitilisation by employing ancient words, phrases and karakia that are heard. Thus, we encounter language expressed not in its neutral written form, but in relation to tone, pause, rhythm, pronunciation and context. Second, it connects the Māui narratives into a cohesive whole. In doing this it also uses whakapapa to make connections and to provide meaning and chronology both within and between the episodes. Third, it elevates the pūrākau beyond the level of simple children’s stories. The inclusion of karakia reinforces that these incantations are in fact sacred texts. Rich in ancient language they give us glimspes into ancient epistemologies. Appreciating this elevated state, we can understand how these pūrākau dealt with complex human and societal issues including abortion, rape, incest, murder, love, challenging traditional hierarchies, the power of women, and the sacredness of knowledge and ritual. Finally, the presentation considers both in theory and practice, the process of intergenerational bowdlerisation.
