Alphonse, Mervyn Andrew. "The mechanics of sacredness". Virtual Press, 1993. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/864948.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
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.Department of Landscape Architecture

Chen, Zhuo. "Violation of Sacredness and Violence". Thesis, University of Oregon, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/1794/23109.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
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.

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.Education, Faculty of

Kang, Jong-Jean. "The concept of 'sacredness' : Traditional and internet-based imagery in religious architecture". Thesis, University of Brighton, 2010. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.511584.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
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

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
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.

Crespo-Perona, Miguel Ángel. "An aesthetics of sacredness : a Nietzschean reading of James Joyce and T. S. Eliot". Thesis, University of Warwick, 1999. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/4289/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
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.

Moreddu, Elena. "Sacred places in Sardinia : cumbessias villages, sacredness, and the dialectic of the work of art". Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 2005. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/29363/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
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.

Magister Artium - MAThis mini-thesis thesis intends to grapple with silences by looking the possibilities of reconceptualising archives through notions of “traces,” “absence,” and “fragments.” Examining archives as bodies of knowledge, a window to telling us something about pastpresent- future representations is to think about navigating archives of colonialism and slavery as sites of historical memory. The aim of this paper is to enter the pedagogical problem of remembering and gendered representational voids by seeking to explore how artistic representations offer insights in the absence of detail in the colonial archives. In exploring the relationship between bodies, remembering and the historical trauma of slavery and colonialisation, specifically in relation to historical corporeal and flesh narratives attached to indigenous black women, and how women negotiate these meanings through embodied interventions in (post-) slavery South Africa. The positioning of the body as an archive probes questions on how the memory of traumatic wounding in a (post-)slavery South Africa body politics are inscribed to convey meaning, memory and identity. The notions of embodiment that this thesis is concerned with asks in what ways can we creatively and imaginatively re-construct, outside of conventional historiographies and knowledge(s), that which has been disembowled through colonial dominating narratives of enslaved subjects?

Pinar, Ekin. "Myth,landscape And Boundaries: The Impact Of The Notion Of Sacredness Of Nature On Greek Urbanism And Architecture". Master's thesis, METU, 2006. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12607388/index.pdf.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis focuses on the impact of the notion of holiness of nature in ancient Greek thought and its reflection on urbanism and architecture with respect to the transformations that took place during the archaic period. The archaic period represented most fundamentally a shift from an era where everything was on the move to an era of territorialism which culminated in the establishment of the polis and the Greek temple. This shift was prominent in the sense that it pointed not only to a basic modification in the lifestyle of Greeksbut also to the formation of Greek identity as opposed to that of foreigners. In this respect, the thesis first concentrates on the foundation of the polis, followed by the emergence of the temple and lastly the orders of the columns. Doing so, it is aimed to analyze the transformation concerning the understanding of nature which was engendered by the Greek territorialist expansion and its effect on Greek urbanism and architecture.

Cette thèse analyse les relations entre consommateurs et marques de luxe, etcomment cette relation évolue au 21ème siècle. Face au défi de la désacralisation face aux mutations de la société, liées à l’hypermodernité, à la démocratisation du luxe, à Internet et aux médias sociaux, les marques de luxe traditionnelles recherchent desmoyens de rester pertinentes et sacrées. Nous décrivons comment le sacré évolue etcomment les marques utilisent les propriétés du sacré pour rester des marques de luxe.Notre hypothèse principale est que le concept de sacré dans la société évolue etnous proposons donc un cadre théorique qui décrit un nouveau sacré potentiel pour que les marques de luxe restent souhaitables pour les consommateurs du 21ème siècle.Nous avons mené des entretiens approfondis avec les consommateurs de marquesde luxe, analysé les données Instagram et effectué des analyses ethnographiques etnethnographiques sur les ensembles de données, ce qui nous a permis de donner unpremier aperçu et de découvrir le rôle et l’importance du caractère sacré des marques de luxe.Nos résultats montrent trois tendances dans les relations des consommateurs avecles marques de luxe, qui sous-tendent différentes visions du sacré. Celles-ci vont du (1) sacré traditionnel, à savoir l'exclusivité, au (2) nouveau sacré, à l'inclusivité, et (3) à la fusion de l'exclusivité et de l'inclusivitéThis thesis analyzes the relationship between consumers and luxury brands, and how this relation is changing in the 21st century. Facing the challenge of being desacralized by the changes in society, stemming from hypermodernity, the democratization of luxury, the Internet, and social media, traditional luxury brands are looking for ways to remain relevant and sacred. We describe how sacredness is evolving and how brands are using the properties of sacredness to stay luxury brands.Our main assumption is that the concept of sacredness in society is evolving, and we therefore propose a theoretical framework that describes a potential new sacredness for luxury brands to remain desirable for consumers in the 21st century.We conducted in-depth interviews with luxury brand consumers, analyzed Instagramdata, and performed ethnography and nethnography analyses on the data sets, allowing us to provide first insights and findings on the role and importance of sacredness for luxury brands.Our findings show three patterns in the relationship of consumers to luxury brands,underlying different visions of sacredness. These range from (1) traditional sacredness, i.e. exclusivity, (2) new sacredness, i.e. inclusivity, and (3) a fusion of exclusivity and inclusivity

Shah, Rinkle. "A phenomenological study of contemplative experiences : implications for interior design". Queensland University of Technology, 2009. http://eprints.qut.edu.au/30132/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This research reports on a project concerned with the relationship between the person and the environment in the context of achieving a contemplative or existential state – a state which can be experienced either consciously or subconsciously. The need for such a study originated with the desire to contribute to the design of multicultural spaces which could be used for a range of activities within the public and the personal arena, activities including contemplation, meditation and prayer. The concept of ‘sacred’ is explored in the literature review and in primary interviews with the participants of this study. Given that the word ‘sacred’ is highly value-laden and potentially alienating for some people, it was decided to use the more accessible term ‘contemplative’. The outcomes of the study inform the practice of interior design and architecture which tends currently to neglect the potential for all spaces to be existentially meaningful. Informed by phenomenological methodology, data were collected from a diverse group of people, using photo-elicitation and interviews. The technique of photo-elicitation proved to be highly effective in helping people reveal their everyday lived experience of contemplative spaces. Reflective analysis (Van Manen 2000) was used to explore the data collected. The initial stage of analysis produced three categories of data: varying conceptions of contemplation, aspects of the person involved in the contemplation, and aspects of environment involved in contemplation. From this, it was found that achieving a state of contemplation involves both the person and the environment in a dialectic process of unfolding. The unfolding has various physical, psycho-social, and existential dimensions or qualities which operate sequentially and simultaneously. Two concepts emerged as being central to unfolding: ‘Cleansing’ and ‘Nothingness’. Unfolding is found to comprise the Core; Distinction; Manifestation; Cleansing; Creation; and Sharing. This has a parallel with Mircea Eliade’s (1959) definition of sacred as something that manifests itself as different from the profane. The power of design, re-contextualization through utility and purpose, and the existential engagements between the person and environment are used as a basis for establishing the potential contribution of the study to interior design. In this way, the study makes a contribution to our understanding of how space and its elements inspire, support and sustain person environment interaction – particularly at the existential level – as well as to our understanding of the multi-dimensional and holistic nature of this interaction. In addition, it points to the need for a phenomenological re-conceptualisation of the design/client relationship. In summary, the contributions of this research are: the exploration of contemplative experience as sacred experience; an understanding of the design of space as creating engagement between person and environment; a rationale for the introduction of a phenomenological approach to the relationship between designer and clients; and raising awareness of the spiritual in a holistic approach to design.

Trata-se de uma investigação que busca a partir de um estudo comparativo entre três tipos de manifestação do sagrado nas redes digitais (a religião tradicional, a new age e a ciber-religiosidade), refletir e interpretar que tipo de representação do sagrado o digital favorece ou até possibilita. Esta investigação está alicerçada em um quadro interpretativo das tecnologias comunicativas que as entende como elementos fundamentais nas transformações sociais, logo, a investigação primeiramente busca justificar o caráter não instrumental da mídia a partir de um exame da história das tecnologias de comunicação, analisando como diferentes tecnologias comunicativas tiveram suas influências singulares no campo religioso. A segunda etapa da dissertação pretende revisar criticamente a literatura da comunicação digital, e principalmente explorar como o tema da religião na internet foi tratado pelo meio acadêmico. As últimas etapas da pesquisa se referem ao estudo empírico da presença das representações do sagrado nas redes digitais, adotando uma estratégia de pesquisa que denominamos como estudo exploratório participativo online, que para cada tipo de manifestação elencada, possui suas singularidades.The research consists of an investigation that seeks to understand and interpret which type of representation of the sacred is favored or even enabled in the digital culture. The investigation is made through a comparative study between three types of manifestations of the sacred in digital networks (the traditional religion, the new age and the cyber-religiosity). This investigation is based on an interpretative framework of communication technologies that are understood as essential elements in the social transformations. Therefore, the investigation first aims to justify the non-instrumental character of the media from an examination of the history of the communication technologies, analyzing how different communication technologies have singularly influenced the religious field. The second stage of the dissertation intends to critically review the literature of digital communication, and mainly to explore how the subject of religion in the Internet was treated in the academic field. The last stages of the research relates to the empirical study of representations of the presence of the sacred in digital networks, adopting a research strategy that we call an exploratory participative online study, which holds singularities of each type of the chosen manifestation.

Jane Eyre, the most applauded novel by the English writer Charlotte Brontë, has been investigated by the literary critics from the last decades from many different perspectives, due to the complex and unsettling quality of this classic formation novel (bildungsroman). Among the most visible critical tendencies, we can emphasize the feminist reading of this Brontë‟s narrative, which, in the 1970‟s, meaningfully contributed to the insertion of this work in the canon of the western feminine writing. Nevertheless, more recently, some authors have been inclined to study the religiosity of the novel, connecting this issue with other elements of the narrative, without presenting, however, a deeper reflection about the manifestations of sacredness in the novel. We believe that these manifestations are mainly linked to the modern notion of subjectivity, a concept which was improved and exalted by the romantic movement, an influential aesthetic movement, originated and developed during the decades preceding the publication of Brontë‟s novel. Therefore, the present thesis aims at promoting an interpretation of Jane Eyre from the sacred perspective, related to the romantic notion of subjectivity, and also to the concept of drama, which permeates the protagonist‟s formation process. In this process, the opposition social / natural symbolically corresponds to the opposition profane / sacred. Society and nature are the places where the heroine transits, experiencing conflicts and sufferings, which are indispensable for her formation process and for the maturation of her character. We attempt to demonstrate, thus, that although the protagonist‟s formation trajectory marked by dramatic events occurs in the direction of a preparation to the practical, profane and social world, this trajectory does not prescind of a symbolical relation with sacredness, which is mainly expressed through the mystical relation established between the subjectivity and nature. In this way, we hope our research contributes to the interdisciplinary literary studies, generally, and to the critical studies of this important novel by Charlotte Brontë, more specifically.
Jane Eyre, o mais aclamado romance da escritora inglesa Charlotte Brontë, tem sido investigado pela crítica literária das últimas décadas sob as mais diversas perspectivas, devido ao caráter complexo e inquietante desse clássico romance de formação (bildungsroman). Dentre as tendências críticas mais visíveis, destaca-se a leitura feminista dessa narrativa de Brontë, que, na década de 1970, contribuiu, significativamente, para a inserção dessa obra no cânone da escrita feminina ocidental. No entanto, mais recentemente, alguns autores têm se voltado para a temática da religiosidade do romance, relacionando essa questão a outros elementos da narrativa, sem apresentar, contudo, uma reflexão mais profunda acerca das manifestações do sagrado no romance. Acreditamos que essas manifestações estão vinculadas, principalmente, à noção moderna de subjetividade, conceito aprimorado e exaltado pelo Romantismo, influente movimento estético, originado e desenvolvido nas décadas anteriores à publicação do romance de Brontë. Assim, a presente tese tenciona promover uma interpretação de Jane Eyre pelo viés da sacralidade, atrelada à noção romântica de subjetividade, e também ao conceito de dramaticidade, o qual permeia o processo de formação da protagonista. Neste, a oposição social / natural corresponde, simbolicamente, à oposição profano / sagrado, sendo a sociedade e a natureza os domínios por onde a heroína transita, vivenciando conflitos e sofrimentos, imprescindíveis para a sua experiência formativa e para a maturação de seu caráter. Procuramos demonstrar, assim, que, apesar de a trajetória formativa da protagonista, pontuada por eventos dramáticos, ocorrer no sentido da preparação para o mundo prático, profano e social, esse percurso não prescinde da relação simbólica com a sacralidade, que se manifesta, principalmente, por meio da relação mística estabelecida entre a subjetividade e a natureza. Desse modo, esperamos que a nossa pesquisa contribua para os estudos literários interdisciplinares, de modo geral, e para o arcabouço crítico desse importante romance de Charlotte Brontë, mais especificamente.

The decision on the Arguição de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental (abbreviation ADPF, meaning Accusation of Breach of Fundamental Precept) No. 54, raised by the National Confederation of Healthcare Workers, issued in 04/12/2012, which concerned the decriminalization of therapeutic induction of early deliveries of anencephalic fetuses in Brazil, established jurisprudential paradigm on the matter and possible debates in which were present the issues on the concept of the sacredness of human life, human dignity or the intrinsic worth of human life. This present research aims to analyse the use of the concept of human life sacredness in political, legal, scientific and religious speeches during the course of the trial, thus aiming to identify how the concept is structured and how it was taken over by secular and religious discourses as the ADPF No. 54 unfolded. For that to be accomplished the analysis was performed of the overlapping elements involved, such as the issue of secularization and secularity (laicity), with their respective approaches to the status of religion in the public square, and how these relate with the crucial subject of human rights and the role of religion. Said analysis was followed by a survey of the formation and actualization of the idea of sacredness of the human life, and another analysis of the content on the material related to the mentioned ADPF: Judgment and transcripts of public hearings in which were promoted the discourses of interest to the present work.

A pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar o uso do conceito de sacralidade da vida humana nos discursos políticos, jurídicos, científicos e religiosos havidos durante o desenrolar do julgamento, visando assim identificar como se estrutura o conceito e como foi apoderado pelos discursos laicos e religiosos quando do julgamento da ADPF n. 54. Para tanto se efetua a análise de elementos imbricados na questão, como a temática da secularização e da laicidade, com a respectiva abordagem da condição da religião em espaços públicos, e destas com o assunto crucial dos direitos humanos e o papel da religião. Seguindo para o levantamento da formação e concretização da ideia de sacralidade da vida humana, e análise do conteúdo do material relacionado ao mencionado julgamento: Acórdão e transcrições das audiências públicas nas quais foram promovidos os discursos que interessa averiguar.

The island of Corsica is home to different types of traditherapists, notably the signadori. They show a particular connection between a transitioning social discourse, their own psychic conflicts and the demand. This clinical research, with an ethnopsychoanalytic perspective, is based on interviews conducted in the field with healers. Data collected were analysed in accordance with the standardised IPA (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis) method. A psychopathological episode, also considered as an « initiatory crisis » in hindsight, would lead to the « gift ». It represents a system of symbolic exchange, underpinned by the original debt, which dialectises ambivalence and otherness. The hold drive is at the center of this system. The prohibitions that secure this drive constitute an intrapsychic sacred space. Their transgression or ritualized reminder could well appear prototypical witchcraft actions and those to conjure them

Electronic Thesis or Diss., Strasbourg, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023STRAK006.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
La thèse examine le développement de la doctrine du sacrement de mariage entre le pape Pie VIII (1829) et le pape François (2022) sous l’angle de deux notions : la sacralité du mariage et sa consécration sacramentelle. La première apparaît comme une notion clé jusqu’au concile Vatican II, mais perd ensuite son importance, bien que Jean-Paul II l’ait remise en valeur dans un discours en 2003. Le mariage est – déjà en tant qu’institution naturelle – une « res sacra », une réalité sacrée en lien avec Dieu. La notion de consécration émerge dans le Magistère en 1930 et se réfère plus directement au mariage chrétien, dans sa spécificité de sacrement de la Loi nouvelle. L’usage de cette notion est hésitant dans un premier temps (les époux sont « comme consacrés ») et son sens ne sera approfondi que par Jean-Paul II. Deux lignes d’interprétation vont se développer : une ligne morale, fondée sur la pensée de Pie XI, et une ligne ecclésiologique, fondée sur la pensée de Pie XII. Bien que la première ait dominé la réflexion jusqu’aux catéchèses de Jean-Paul II sur l’amour humain (1984), c’est la seconde qui passera ensuite au premier plan. Le pape François la consolidera. La thèse accorde une attention particulière aux travaux du Concile, ainsi qu’au magistère de Jean-Paul II et du pape FrançoisThe thesis examines the development of the doctrine of the sacrament of marriage between Pope Pius VIII (1829) and Pope Francis (2022) from the perspective of two notions: the sacredness of marriage and its sacramental consecration. The first appeared as a key notion until the Second Vatican Council, but then lost its importance, although John Paul II re-emphasized it in a speech in 2003. Marriage is – already as a natural institution – a “res sacra”, a sacred reality in relation to God. The notion of consecration emerged in the Magisterium in 1930 and refers more directly to Christian marriage, in its specificity as a sacrament of the New Law. The use of this notion is hesitant at first (spouses receive “a kind of consecration”) and its meaning will only be deepened by John Paul II. Two lines of interpretation will develop: a moral line, based on the thought of Pius XI, and an ecclesiological line, based on the thought of Pius XII. Although the first one dominated reflection until the catecheses of John Paul II on human love (1984), it is the second one which will then come to the fore. Pope Francis will consolidate it. The thesis pays particular attention to the work of the Council, as well as to the magisterium of John Paul II and Pope Francis

There seems to be a certain degree of mutual exclusion between“Religion” and “industry”. Due to Taiwan government's emphasis on the development of cultural and creative industries, the religious cultural and creative industries have evolved from implicit economic operations to explicit religious management issues. In Taiwan, the spread of religion is no longer based solely on traditional missionary thinking as a basis for proliferation. Instead, it is transformed into a product that heals people's hearts with religious cultural elements that unique to each religion, as a powerful tool for demonstrating doctrine and boosting religious economic growth. In order to understand the characteristics of being a religious cultural and creative commodity, this thesis attempts to employ the thought of sacredness of Western religion as the basis, trying to find out the sacred characteristics of Taiwan's religious cultural and creative products. Furthermore, based on the theory of marketing, the marketing mix concept for Taiwan’s religious cultural and creative products has been proposed. The purposes of this paper are: 1. to analyze and summarize the development of the "sacredness" nature of the core of Western religion, and to compare the meaning and appearance of "sacredness" meaning in Taiwan’s religious cultural environment. 2. to understand the appearance of Taiwan's religious cultural products, especially the religions of Buddhism, Taoism and folk religion, trying to find the possible connection between sacred meaning and religious cultural products. 3. to propose the marketing mix elements of Taiwan's religious cultural and creative products and provide explanations for its application. This paper focuses on the review and analysis of literature, supplemented by market observations and expert interviews. Based on the three major categories of consumer commodity demand attributes (functionality, empiricism and symbolism), this study proposes three characteristics of religious cultural and creative products, namely the representation of religious life patterns, the transformation of religious meanings and the injection of sacred elements. In the continuation, the sacred elements of religious cultural and creative products are used as the basis for discussion. With reference to the traditional marketing mix theory, the five marketing elements of cultural and creative products are proposed, namely, products, prices, channels, promotion, people and relationships. With the understanding of these six marketing mix elements, hopes to construct the marketing mix theory of Taiwan's religious cultural and creative products. This study begins with the exploration of the sacredness of Western religions, and then takes the religious cultural and creative products characteristics of Taiwan's religious, such as Buddhism, Taoism, and folk religions, and the traditional marketing mix theory as the main axis in order to conclude and proposed the marketing mix elements for religious cultural and creative products in Taiwan. In addition to understanding the promotion of Taiwan's religious cultural and creative products, the results of this paper can provide reference for the practical use of Taiwan's religious cultural and creative industries. This study is to present a marketing mix conceptual model for religious cultural and creative products in Taiwan, further study can be focus on the empirical test of this conceptual model and its application.

Ever since the institutionalization of residential care for juvenile delinquency was implemented, in light of emphasizing the rights of juvenile and the need for enhancement of quality of care, residential agency has made every effort in creating a living environment that best resembles the image of “a home” in hope of helping juvenile delinquency to gain better development. Taking agencies with faith-based as its main object of study, this literature explores whether the founder of such agencies, with sacred style of leadership can successfully put his or her vision and ideology on the action of management level and the frontline staff. Along with the new managerialism that guides the operation of residential care for youth, the actions of social workers and direct-care workers of these agencies have been affected. Originally, these staff were expected to play the role as parents in taking care of and educating the juveniles; a role that shows consistency and cooperation. However, in practice, the interaction between the two said professionals are often contradictory and in conflict. Thus resulting in low morale of the staff, quality of service being affected, ineffectiveness of professionalism as well as alienation. This literature seeks to establish a research design through a model of institutional ethnography. Through participation and observation, and the information gathered through interviews in depth with the founder of residential care for youth, management level and frontline staff, the study then describes the aspect of the daily life of the juvenile delinquency at the residential care for youth. The research also explores in depth especially on the way social workers and direct-care workers interact professionally through social relationships, their job content, power difference and professionalism recognition. Analysis has also been done on the assignment of responsibility, and contradiction and conflicts that occurred in the daily operation of the social and direct-care workers. The finding reveals that the two teams encounter difficulties working in cooperation due to changes of job design, differences in labor conditions, and inequalities in professional status and power. Bearing in mind of this new managerialism, a majority of the managers of these residential agencies fail to resolve the conflicts within the team through aspects of culture, relationships and communication, but to emphasize instead solely on performance rationality while ignoring the recognition of professional care for the juvenile delinquency. Thus, results in frustration and pressure on the more overly burdened direct-care workers. In summary, the author puts forward suggestions that these residential care for youth to introspect their management based on the emphasis on professional independence and balanced performance rationality.

Huang, Keji. "Journey of sacredness: assessing how commercial activities in China affect religious tourists' spiritual values". Thesis, 2017. https://researchonline.jcu.edu.au/51596/1/51596-huang-2017-thesis.pdf.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis is concerned with the commercialization of religious sites and tourists' spiritual values. The studies also explore the effects of religious commercialization on tourists' spiritual values. To answer the research questions and topics, considerable data, comprising 80 interviews, 438 blogs and 800 questionnaires, were collected and analyzed. The thesis has seven chapters in total.
The first chapter introduces the global development of religious tourism. Two core concepts, religious commercialization and spiritual values, are then discussed and clarified. This chapter also presents the research questions, aims and procedures.
A second chapter reviews much highly relevant literature. It consists of five sections: global religious tourism, Chinese religious tourism, religious commercialization, tourist experience, and spiritual values. This chapter provides a basis for research on commercialization and the tourist experience, and aims to better understand the relationships between religious commercialization and tourists' spiritual values as identified in previous studies.
The third chapter introduces the research methodology and the location of the studies. This chapter describes the Four Great Buddhist Mountains (FGBMs) in China, and then discusses the relevant methods and methodological framework of the research. An emphasis is placed on using multiple methods to enrich the work.
The fourth chapter evaluates the level of commercialization at the FGBMs. Both qualitative and quantitative tools were employed to assess tourists' attitudes towards different types of commercial activity. The commercial activities can be identified in three domains and divided into seven categories. The results were discussed and then this study built a model about religious commercialization. It was found that food and drinks, shopping, and accommodation were the most commercial categories. Many tourists were influenced by the shopping stores, street stalls, and mobile vendors. Some behaviours, such as indeterminate price, bad service and forced consumption, made tourists feel annoyed.
The fifth chapter tries to assess tourists' spiritual values in religious places. Interviews and a survey were selected as the research methods. The interview analysis was used to investigate tourists' subjective themes about spiritual values. And the objective survey analysis was employed to extract factors of spiritual values and measure their relative importance. The extracted factors of spiritual values are transcendence, general connectedness, inner balance, positive life direction, and specific religious feelings.
The sixth chapter explores how commercial activities in religious places affect tourists' spiritual values. Two kinds of interviews were conducted at the FGBMs. The first interview focuses on tourists' perceived level of religious commercialization and spiritual values, and how commercial activities affect their feelings. The second interview tried to understand the general impression of religious tourists towards destination images and ascertain the factor influencing their views. The second objective assists in contextualising the relative importance of commercialization in the overall views of a destination. It was found that Tourists' spiritual values were enhanced by others' Buddhist beliefs, devoted acts, traditional rituals, cultural architectures, and natural features. But many commercial activities, nonstandard staff services, low quality of tourism products, and environmental pollution appeared to negatively affect tourists' impressions on religious sites.
Finally the last chapter considers the key points from the research findings. These findings contribute to the academic literature, and practical management for religious tourism. In addition, this chapter reviews the limitations of the current studies, and proposes directions for further research. Further, the trajectory of religious tourism development in China has been predicted. Some possible opportunities and challenges for developing religious tourism sustainably are highlighted.

This study tries to observe how the understanding of sacredness is formed in Charismatic Christian organizations. Therefore, this study starts the investigation from the development of Charismatic movement in North America and how it spread to Taiwan. To involve more and provide reliable observation, a charismatic organization Taiwan Church Renewal Ministry and its training partner organization Singing Waters Ministries thus are chosen as study cases. These two organizations stress on a specific Charismatic activity called inner healings. The investigation of inner healing can be divided to two dimensions, the understanding of the concepts and principles of inner healing which always stress its teaching that have matched Christian faith, and the body practice of inner healing. Human beings are divided into three parts—body, soul, and spirits in inner healing teachings. For that the spirits will affect bodies and souls of human beings, there could be both positive and negative influences. Holy spirits bring positive effects such as the feeling of heats and peace, while evil spirits bring negative effects such as illnesses and disturbance on emotions. There will be some gifted disciples designated “servers” are able to help the participants to chase away evil spirits or cut the inappropriate connection among human souls, “soul-ties.” Inner healing phenomenon could be analyzed through sociology of religion of Max Weber by charismatic domination and its influences on religious organizations. Besides, it could be set in a globalization context as well. On the other hand, it could be analyzed by phenomenological approaches. Through the approaches such as the sacred self and alterity theory of Csordas Thomas and the habitus theory of Merleau Ponty can not only explain how the understanding of sacredness is developed among the participants in inner healing activities but elaborate the relation between self secredness and healings.

This article is abou how Ngāti Rangi Maori have interations with Mt. Ruapehu, which is their wāhi tapu, in different historical contexts. By interactions, the cultural meaning of wāhi tapu connects the ancestral past and group’s identity in the present. When actors, such as scientists, government and ski company, brought different ways to understand landscape and wished to conduct volcanic hazard management, the way Ngāti Rangi Maori regard Mt. Ruapehu as their group identity became more and more clear. This understanding has become Ngāti Rangi Maori’s practice as well as discourse to negotiate with the others and to claim their rights for environmental management. This thesis discusses different ways of interactions between Ngāti Rangi people and Mt. Ruapehu, and how Ngāti Rangi people understand landscape. I argue that tapu is the core value of how they understand landscape. Different interactions between people and the mountain are related to the knowledge of tapu, and this knowledge has been keeping while changing through times.

This thesis first starts with the earthquake of Sichuan as a state of exception of society which was represented by media as a disaster that should be sympathized out of the sentiment of sacredness. In that case, if someone violates such kind of sacred sentiments, he or she will be chastised by the public. We try to analyze a girl named Zhang Ya who expressed her impatience and despise regarding victims of the quake on youtube. By doing so, Zhang Ya infringed the sacredness of society and thereby evoked irritation towards her. We want to investigate of cultural background of the curse words. We assume that curse words are the projection of the things most people care about What we most interested in this thesis is that, when cursing Zhang Ya collectively, for the sake of defending sacredness of society, a kind of purity so to speak, people use the dirties words to achieve that. In order to analyze this paradoxical situation, we are going to use discourse analysis to interpret it.

In 1961, The Tzu-Hui Hall(慈惠堂) at Fa-Hua Mountain(法華山) in Hualien was founded by Wo-Yun Luo (羅臥雲), who set its spiritual disciplines and altruistic practices as its main paradigms. Man-Mei Wun (溫滿妹), its following abbess, not only inherited his disciplines and practices, but expanded the constructions of the temple on a growing basis . As one branch of the early developing Tzu-Hui Hall(慈惠堂) , Fa-Hua Mountain(法華山) has its own efficacious legends and discourses. During the past 50 years, it has been famous for its abbess’s witchery practices and its group’s scripture-chanting services, which sustain almost the same as their earliest styles. Since the branch is one of the well-known temples in Taiwan, it attracts a large number of believers to come to worship External Mother. Through my two years’field-study and interviews with Fa-Hua Mountain(法華山) and its members, I have collected much of my observations on their interactions with its own branches and other groups. I have been trying to understand their organization, daily practices and their religious practices for the mass. Besides, I also have speculated its distinctive religious phenomena, by examining three aspects, which are “body”,“emotionality,”and “sacredness.” Regarding belief in External Mother, as an abundant divine image, I mention two opposite viewpoints, which are “defilement/taboo” and “purity/sacredness.” First of all, I depict two different types of “body revelation,” which are “ritual-type” and“shaman-type.” Second, the “emotionality” between External Mother and Her believers , which can be compared to an affinity among family members, is one distinguishing feature. Third, I emphasize that the “sacredness” of External Mother comes from Her efficacious legends, Her ultimate altruistic missions, and Her“soul-affiliating” with believers. It is also one common characteristic for believers,“to offer their obedience to External Mother,” who is incarnated in their bodies,emotions and daily lives. In short, I recognize that to each believer, belief in External Mother involves lots of feelings and experiences, rather than just a process with intellectual cognition. Clearly,unlike other religious groups, believers here have their personal spiritual experiences highly respected, instead of been restricted by rigid rules. Therefore, we find that on the aspects of “body” and “emotionality”, the believers, namely, children of External Mother, enjoy their own abundance, openness and diversity. But on the other issues,such as “religious-teachings,” “religious-discourses,” and “the management of the temple”, The Tzu-Hui Hall(慈惠堂) looks very loose, compared with other religious organizations. Furthermore, as for the feelings and cognitions of “sacredness” toward External Mother, there might emerge some uncertainty and variations. To sum up,since External Mother is one new-fledging belief in Taiwan, more investigations and studies are required to get across to the public the message it reveals.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
There exists only one manuscript about ecclesiastical Maronite ecclesiastical architecture
(written in the 17th century by the patriarch Stephen el Dweihi) and there is no revised or
subsequent work of reference, which this thesis aims to address. To this end, these were
the critical questions investigated:
This thesis begins by taking stock of the extant vestiges which, with a few exceptions, are
confined to Mount Lebanon and north-east Lebanon namely in Byblos, Batroun, Bcharri,
Koura, Keserwan, Matn. This area is characterized by a series of spurs and mountain
tops, wild deep valleys and remoteness, and the architecture is rooted in this landscape.
Its resources for construction are the materials at hand, and the buildings are usually
located in villages on the spurs, and one finds that the Maronite ecclesiastical architecture
is indistinguishable from the general secular and residential architecture. As such it is
"grows" out of the land, is modest in size and scale, and is historically without belfry, i.e.
a hidden architecture.
While the general disposition of Christian churches is similar, Maronite vernacular
houses and churches are block-like with flat roofs, stone walls, and very often with
vaulted interiors and minimal of openings. The church is thus another house, rectangular
and aligned east-west and is devoid of decoration; the sanctuary is usually apsidal with a
minor aperture above the apex of the dome and below the vault of the nave. The
particular characteristics of the Maronite church are its east-west orientation - parallel to
the spurs which characterize the littoral Lebanon - the presence of a sustainable source of
water, and an evergreen tree. The church was conceived for a standing form of worship
and without physical barrier between the nave and the sanctuary; and the main and
possibly sole source of daylight (but the open door) is the eastern aperture. The bima
platform is located in the nave to reflect the monotheistic ideology adopted by the
Maronites. Over the centuries, and despite the influences from the Roman Catholic
Church, with which it is in full communion, the Maronite church has preserved its
identity which is austere and, in particular, free of the 'dramatic mysteries' associated
especially with the Baroque churches.
Having studied Dweihi's manuscript and his 11 chapters on Maronite ecclesiastical
architecture, this thesis asks whether these are still relevant? How can the manuscript be
updated for contemporary interpretation towards a rooted modem Maronite ecclesiastical
architecture? The architecture of Lebanon has fascinated at least three authors (Ragette,
Liger Belair, and Abou Sawan) whose works date from the late 20th century and have
become standard references. Others have documented various works on the Maronite
people and their religion, but, not since Dweihi' s manuscript of the 17th century has an
attempt been made at documenting and extending Maronite concepts for ecclesiastical
architecture. Interestingly, Dweihi in his time was reacting to what he saw as a
contamination of the Maronite church by Roman Catholic influences; this thesis was
prompted by insensitive and ignorance in contemporary Maronite ecclesiastical
architecture. The thesis is thus dedicated to proper custodianship of the heritage and the
informed and sensitive design of new 'houses ' for Maronite worship.Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2004.

The intention of my thesis is to articulate how spiritualities, some in emergent secular expressions, as direct experiences of the sacred, may formatively shape and be actualised in new forms of democratic government as a self-organising phenomenon emerging in concert with evolutionary dynamics. I am attempting to apply experiential interconnectedness which is embodied in the best of human experience as a generative base and an organising dynamic to the evolution of democratic politics. The contribution to knowledge and understanding that my thesis brings is that the elucidation of experiences, inner processes and images which governing based on sacredness could incorporate. I expand the discussion on democracy to include the transformative and generative power of significant experiences. Consistent with democratic principles of inclusive equality, I devolve insights from the lives, thoughts and activities of ordinary people which are then analysed within relevant theoretical perspectives and related to emergent social trends. The focus of the research is on possibilities, transformation and empowerment available within a sacred cosmos, an interconnected and interactive reality.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The work focuses on understanding the concept of the sacredness and the importance of rituals in contemporary family. It shows how the sacredness is understood by pupils at primary school compared to high school students and what the role of sacredness in their current and future lives is. The author handles the theoretical part on the basis of literature and a practical part is based on questionnaires distributed to students of primary and secondary schools. The aim is to handle the sacred topic from different perspectives and compare different approaches and opinions of students at this topic. The result is a detailed overview of the topics in the curriculum within it is possible to teach the sacred topics in those classes. The author will respect the principles of professional work and regularly consult with the supervisor.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
L’art symboliste pictural ou théâtral qui s’est développé à la fin du dix-neuvième siècle est habité par le sacré, que celui-ci se manifeste sous la forme du spirituel, du religieux ou sous toute autre forme (spiritisme, occultisme, mysticisme). Quelle que soit sa forme, le sacré est pour tous les symbolistes lié à l’art. Leurs recherches formelles, multiples et variées, tendent toutes à faire surgir l’invisible du visible. Or toutes voient l’émergence, dans les œuvres, de la représentation de la femme, qui dès lors devient intimement liée au «symbolisme». En véhiculant le sacré, la femme devient le symbole des idées des artistes sur leur art, voire le symbole du rapport de l’artiste à son art. Ainsi la thèse étudie la femme dans son rapport aux idées et à l’esthétique propres à chaque artiste, dans son interrelation avec l’art et le sacré et les études détaillées des œuvres dramatiques et picturales visent à montrer la variété et la complexité de ses représentations. En même temps, cette recherche est une étude d’ensemble concernant les relations entre le théâtre et la peinture dans la période fin-de-siècle, abordées non pas de l’extérieur, mais de l’intérieur (c’est-à-dire par les caractéristiques propres des œuvres), dans le cadre de la théorie de l’image ouverte, telle qu’elle a été développée par Georges Didi-Huberman. Finalement, que la forme d’expression artistique soit celle de l’art dramatique ou celle de l’art pictural, la femme n’est dans les œuvres que la manifestation d’une réflexion esthétique qui est aussi une réflexion philosophique, elle est le lieu de rencontre entre le Moi et l’Autre à partir duquel s’origine l’œuvre.Symbolist art, be it pictorial or theatrical, which developed in the late nineteenth century was filled with sacredness, whatever its form: spiritual, religious or any other (spiritualism, occultism, mysticism). However in all its forms, sacredness is for all symbolists linked to Art. Formal research by symbolists, which is numerous and diverse, all tends to make the invisible visible. However all symbolists formal research saw in the works the emergence of the representation of women, which therefore becomes intimately linked to the "symbolism". By conveying sacredness, woman becomes the symbol of the ideas of the artists on their Art; even the symbol of the relationship of the artist to his Art. Thus this thesis studies woman in its relationship to the ideas and aesthetics of each artist, in its interrelationship with Art and the sacredness. The detailed studies of drama and paintings aim to show the variety and complexity of its representations. At the same time, this research is a global study on the relationship between theatre and painting in the end-of-century period, approached not from outside but from within (i.e. by the characteristics of works), as part of the theory of the open image developed by Georges Didi-Huberman. Finally, whatever the form of artistic expression – drama or painting – woman is only in the works, the manifestation of aesthetic reflection that is also a philosophical reflection, situated at the crossroads between the Ego and the Other, from which the work originates.
