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

Thesis, Yale University, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10160872.
Full textFor more than fifty years, the Meditationes Vitae Christi (MVC) and the most famous of its illustrated manuscripts (Paris, Bibliothèque nationale, Ms. ital. 115) have been employed by scholars to exemplify late medieval female spirituality. The mid-fourteenth century ilhuminated manuscript of the Meditationes in the Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame that is the subject of this dissertation provides valuable evidence of the popularity of the famous text originally written for a woman religious and its appropriation by urban laity. As an example of the shorter text, in Italian, with 43 chapters plus prologue, its 48 large colored miniatures and the decorated initials that begin each chapter, point to a wealthy patron quite unlike the Poor Clare to whom the MVC text was initially directed. The style of the miniatures indicates that the manuscript was illuminated ca. 1350 in Bologna, site of the pre-eminent European university for the study of law.
The dissertation explores how the Meditationes Vitae Christi was adapted for an educated and prosperous husband and wife. While written in the vernacular, the Snite MVC illuminations bear a strong resemblance to the illustrations in fourteenth-century Bolognese legal manuscripts. Despite the vivid and often unconventional imagery of the text that is designed to stimulate the reader's affective response to its re-telling of the story of the life of Christ, the miniatures tend to preserve traditional iconographies. The superficially conventional Snite miniatures, which often seem indifferent to the visual specifics of the text, serve to align it with orthodox doctrine and underscore the veracity of its contents.
An analysis of the illuminations of the Snite MVC reveals a particular attentiveness by the illuminator to the representation of male exemplars that would appeal to an elite educated patron, who might have been a judge or lawyer, or law professor. The Infancy miniatures in particular depict St. Joseph in a prominent role and dressed as a late medieval professional man The dignified representation of St. Joseph is consistent with his scriptural appellation as a "just man " By attending to the themes of justice and wisdom in both the MVC text and in its scriptural sources, the Snite miniatures prove to be much richer in meaning than first glance would suggest, and their affinity with legal manuscript illumination hardly accidental.
The iconographic analysis of the Snite miniatures is complemented by the study of the social and intellectual context in which the manuscript was produced. Despite the seeming simplicity of the miniatures, the illuminator and his advisor prove to be theologically sophisticated and scripturally literate. By means of the illuminations, the MVC is made compatible with the religious and professional concerns of the elite laity, providing access for men wielding worldly authority into the life of Christ in which powerful and learned men play largely negative roles. The Snite manuscript responds to the lay patron's desire to see in the example of Christ and the events of his life confirmation of late medieval social, juridical, and political structures. In its miniatures, it provides saintly models for the educated laity desirous of reconciling their Christian commitments with the demands of an active, urban, professional life.

Full textThe thesis is an investigation of the choreographer's ongoing exploration of movement, singing and improvisation, informed by Buddhist philosophy. Both the writing and the performance mirror an embodied practice - making tangible themes and concepts that have emerged into consciousness.
Central interests include the ‘life-world’ of the artist and its influence on the creative process, the concepts of spirituality, spirit and ‘flow’, the experiential focus of the inquiry, improvisation as presence and the value of art as healing and therapy.
While the perspective of the writing is drawn from the subjectivity of the practitioner, the aim of the work is to draw on the broader fields of research in these areas and to connect with the creative practices of other artists. To this end, a conventional survey of the literature has been augmented by writings and teachings on Buddhism and other spiritual practices, documentaries and visual art. Interviews with artists in Australia and India and thoughts from the performers of Song of Longing are also included.

Full textLe mouvement expressionniste viennois (1909-1913) recouvre des courantsparallèles dans les disciplines picturales et musicales. Les idées provenant des milieuxintellectuels du fin-de-siècle viennois ont inspiré le réveil de l'artiste moderne, depuis leUr-schrei jusqu'à la formulation d'une nouvelle théorie esthétique. Ce mémoire examinel'origine des valeurs esthétiques chères au mouvement expressionniste, ainsi que lestechniques utilisées pour exprimer ces valeurs dans les oeuvres d'Arnold Schoenberg,d'Egon Schiele, d'Oskar Kokoschka, et de Wassily Kandinsky. Les thèmes abordés sontdivisés en deux grandes catégories dont les fondements centraux émanent depréoccupations reliées, d'une part, à une compréhension croissante de l'inconscient et dela psychopathologie, et, d'autre part, aux aspects métaphysiques de l'art et de l'existencehumaine: la maladie et la spiritualité. Bien qu'il ne soit pas possible de comparerdirectement des oeuvres picturales et musicales, l'existence de principes et de thèmescommuns entraîne une confluence conceptuelle qui unifie ces disciplines dans laréalisation d'une vision artistique collective.

Full textTransformative learning theory, an andragogical (adult) theory, is developed from the psychoanalytical theories of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung and later formalized by sociologist, Jack Mezirow. Incorporating transformative learning into a multidisciplinary perspective, specifically through art making and critical reflection, can read therapeutic results of confronting trauma and illness. Using qualitative arts based research methodologies such as autoethnography and autophotography to address the question, how might the use of Combat-Related PTSD as the foundation of a photographic and written inquiry trigger a transformative learning experience in both the artist-researcher and the viewer can be explored through the use of visual imagery and written narrative. These components are integral in constructing a cohesive narrative that may assists those who may suffer from illness and/ or trauma. As a noted method in art therapy, patients who are diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) utilize nonverbal communication, i.e. visual imagery, as an avenue to reconsolidate their memories and experiences. Using visual imagery, allows the internal narrative of the body to be reflected externally. The significance of the research is to explore art as a healing and therapeutic modality, individually and collectively, for those who suffer from Combat related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Full textPh.D.
At the beginning of the viceregal era, the Certosa di San Martino, a Carthusian monastery of medieval foundation, experienced a resurgence that culminated in the rebuilding of its church starting in the late 1580s. The new church of the Neapolitan Certosa featured an innovative design and an extensive and complex decorative program that distinguished it from all other churches of the order. This dissertation examines the rebuilding of the church of the Certosa di San Martino as a process deeply rooted in the changing religious culture of the time and one that also reveals the tensions inherent to the redefinition of monastic identity in Post-Tridentine Spanish Naples. The development of the Carthusian project paralleled the institutional re-organization of the order, but it also assumed a unique trajectory aimed at highlighting the role of the white monks and contemplative spirituality in the production of sanctity in Naples. By tracing the evolution of the rebuilding initiative within its proper cultural, religious and social context, I clarify the goals of the patrons and the expectations placed on the artists, and I define the scope of the project according to new parameters of spiritual authority. The reconstruction of the rebuilding process relies on primary sources from the Neapolitan State Archives and on recent historical and archaeological research, in addition to comparative studies. This dissertation challenges the view of Post-Tridentine monastic architecture as a mere response to the new liturgical requirements and sides with more recent interpretations by seeing monastic sacred spaces as dynamic places of exchange, and their designs and decorations as expressions of the spiritual authority of the monastic body they house. The rebuilding of the church of the Certosa di San Martino stands as an important example of the process by which spiritual authority was produced and redirected in Spanish Naples. Since 1973, when the first and only monograph on the art of the Certosa di San Martino was published, studies have been sporadic and limited to the analysis of particular works contained in the church. I analyze the new architectural plan and decoration of the church as fundamentally bound to the transformation of Spanish Naples into a holy city.
