No full textAre Congregations Texts?
No full textIt is a common sentiment among homileticians that preaching requires exegeting both the scriptural text and the congregational context. The relevancy of the preaching message, it is argued, depends in part upon a deep knowledge of the congregational culture. The preacher is therefore encouraged to “read” the culture of the congregation and discern how the symbols, practices, and actions of the congregation are used to make meaning so that the preacher might construct a fitting sermon. In this way, the congregation is likened to a text that awaits a reading by a literate observer. In this paper, I examine the limitations of such an analogy arguing that while a semiotic approach to congregations has merit it is often blind to the ways in which power and production influence the creation and reproduction of the congregational culture. Finally, the paper concludes with descriptions from recent homiletical works that offer productive alternatives to the semiotic approach to congregational study

Shaping the Grammar of Security.
Get PDFIn Australia, practices of preemptive deterrence construct the political identity of asylum seekers as the ‘illegal other’, and as a threat to national security and to national identity. At the core of the state's illegality regimes lies the endorsement of exclusionary norms through the grammar of security. Who is responsible for the endorsement of these norms and how do they (re)produce illegality regimes? How are securitization moves legitimized and sustained through illegality regimes? How may they be resisted? A case study of Sweden illustrates how the securitization discourses mobilizing illegality regimes may be resisted through norm circles in the political sphere that endorse norms of egalitarianism, justice and equality.
This paper focuses on the ‘critical realism’ associated with the works of Dave Elder-Vass and Roy Bhaskar. Elder-Vass draws on the philosophy of Roy Bhaskar to examine the ontology of language, discourse, culture and knowledge and their contribute to the construction of social reality, thus synthesizing aspects of realism and constructionism. Roy Bhaskar’s philosophy of the social sciences has aimed to crystallize a transcendental realist framework incorporating a form of critical naturalism and also critical hermeneutics
L'"américanisme" de Baudelaire chez les poètes québécois du tournant du XXe siècle
Get PDFDans des Notes préparatoires qu’il amasse en vue d’écrire un article sur Baudelaire, Jules Laforgue relève ce qu’il appelle son « américanisme », un aspect qu’a bien mis en lumière un article de Daniel Grojnowski (2003). Selon Laforgue, Baudelaire a conservé de l’esthétique d’Edgar Poe, qu’il a traduit comme on sait, un goût pour l’image qui mêle l’idéal et le concret, dans une écriture marquée par la témérité, l’énormité et la crudité. En ce sens Baudelaire inaugure une nouvelle tradition qui commence à s’implanter dans la poésie française à la fin du XIXe siècle, où les œuvres communiquent de plus en plus avec les œuvres étrangères, américaines notamment. D’Émile Nelligan à Alfred Desrochers, Baudelaire demeure une source très présente, en qui on trouve un modèle de prosodie bien ciselée, d’âme sensible ou d’imagination fertile. Il est clair que les influences des poètes québécois, dès cette époque, sont métissées ; ce qui, paradoxalement, les situe en phase avec les esthétiques les plus innovantes du tournant du XXe siècle
