The Virgin’s Cell of Devotion: Site as Insight in the Getty Annuniciation and Thomas À Kempis’s Marian Writings
No full textFifteenth century visual and material culture records a vibrant devotion to Mary in the annunciation, one of central significance in the `devout imagination.\u27 This dissertation foregrounds annunciation paintings and constellates them with prayers (incorporated in devotional treatises and homilies), to retrieve an imaginative meditational praxis that yoked seeing the forms of Mary and Gabriel, repeating the prayers to conform, and representing the event to reform the self in imitatio Mariae.
After identifying the tradition, the author applies these rubrics to the Getty Annunciation in dialogue with Thomas à Kempis\u27s Marian writings. The study demonstrates their reciprocal resonance: Bouts was the first Early Netherlandish artist to paint a contemplative Virgin. The artist portrays the Virgin in a site that reflects the influence of the devotio moderna and mirrors the Devout\u27s commitment, to keep silence and await the Virgin in their cells of devotion—a praxis that reflects the late-medieval turn inward, emphasizing the embodied soul as the site of reform and spiritual exercises.
This study breaks new ground by examining the temporal and spatial coordinates of art intended for sacramental use, and then appropriated for `spiritual progress.\u27 Reciprocally, identifying the temporal and spatial coordinates of the embodied rituals affords an exploration of the incarnational imagination in the Devout\u27s daily spiritual disciplines. Rather than offering an art historical description of a religious painting, or a theological analysis using images to illustrate a doctrinal point, this study integrates the spirituality of both art and textual forms, allowing each to enrich and illumine the other
Nature and Grace in Psychotherapy: A Dialogue Between John Paul II and Karl Barth on the Redemptive Value of Psychotherapy
No full textChristians across traditions believe that human beings are sinful and that the biggest human problem is our fundamental need of redemption and reconciliation to God. Given such beliefs, Christians seeking to practice psychotherapy require a theology to support and clarify the nature of their work with non-Christian clients. Does therapeutic work, as a natural good, have redemptive value for the patient? How does psychotherapy help persons in the context of their sinful condition? On what basis is change possible for an unbeliever and of what value is the change that happens in psychotherapy? That is, what telos is therapeutic change oriented toward, especially when a therapist is working with non-Christian clients—is it aimed at ultimate or penultimate goods? In this dialogue across Catholic/Protestant divisions the author argues that in as much as psychotherapists hope to deliver a service that somehow participates in the redemption and transcendent good of the person, the sacramental theology of Karol Wojtyla/John Paul II offers a more robust theological foundation for therapy than does the Reformed theology of Karl Barth. Particular attention is given to the relationship between nature and grace in terms of how God works in the world as immanent and transcendent. Passing consideration is also given to the disparate theologies of sin and human freedom found in the work of these two theologians
Responding to the Threat of Violent Extremism - Failing to Prevent
No full textThe shocking 7/7 London bombings and subsequent plots have confirmed the Islamist terrorist threat faced by the UK. How should we understand such home-grown terrorism, and how successful since 2005 have government attempts to ‘prevent violent extremism’ through community-based education been? This 2012 monograph draws on research evidence, much of it from work with young people in the north of England, to suggest that the 'Prevent' policy approaches have been misguided and ineffective, further alienating British Muslim communities rather than supporting longer-term attempts to encourage community cohesion and integration that provides resilience against extremism
Epistemologia social: dois projetos para a dimensão social do conhecimento
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciencias Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia Política, Florianópolis, 2013Ao longo da segunda metade do século XX a questão da relevância de variáveis sociais no empreendimento científico, a dimensão social do conhecimento, aproximou os campos da sociologia e da filosofia. Muitas abordagens e interpretações foram produzidas. Alguns teóricos abordam características sociais inerentes ao campo científico, outros abordam características sociais atuantes na cognição dos cientistas e há grupos teóricos que enfatizam a relação entre a sociedade e a ciência. O presente trabalho tratará de duas propostas distintas de abordagens sobre a dimensão social do conhecimento, que partilham a reivindicação de uma mesma nomenclatura: #Epistemologia Social#. Propõe-se uma descrição geral da obra de dois autores: Steve Fuller e Alvin Goldman. Fuller apresenta uma proposta normativa de epistemologia social com orientação política. Sustentando as reivindicações dos trabalhos sociológicos no campo, ataca o trabalho normativo que a Filosofia da Ciência tradicionalmente tenta empreender. Para Fuller a dimensão empírica é essencial para o trabalho normativo. Adotando o construtivismo social e o relativismo epistêmico Fuller propõe uma nova forma de organizar a busca pelo conhecimento. Essa nova organização daria ênfase à distribuição do conhecimento para que a população pudesse intervir na direção do crescimento do conhecimento. Essa direção adotada de forma democrática, em um fórum público liberal, faria com que a produção do conhecimento atingisse a máxima eficiência para a sociedade. Goldman apresenta uma proposta verística de epistemologia social. Seu projeto se vincula à epistemologia primária. O autor empreende uma análise confiabilista da dimensão social do conhecimento, isto é, busca analisar qual o potencial das práticas sociais no processo de formação de crenças verdadeiras por parte dos indivíduos. Para tanto o autor se concentra na avaliação dos processos de testemunho e argumentação. A partir dos elementos destacados na inspeção minuciosa desses processos, podemos elaborar estratégias de intervenção em casos reais onde o objetivo é a obtenção de verdades. Diante da exposição dessas duas propostas observa-se que existem diferentes abordagens que orientam um estudo da dimensão social do conhecimento. Essas diferentes abordagens têm diferentes objetivos e diferentes pressupostos, que acarretam na escolha de diferentes itens para análise. Entretanto, essas divergências não fazem com que os projetos sejam necessariamente antagônicos.Abstract : Throughout the second half of the twentieth century the inquiry on the relevance of social variables in the scientific enterprise, the social dimension of knowledge, has linked sociology and philosophy. Many approaches and interpretations were produced. Some theorists addressed social characteristics inherent in the scientific community, others addressed social characteristics of scientists´ cognition and other theorists emphasize the relationship between society and science. This work deal with two approaches to the social dimension of knowledge that claim the same nomenclature: "Social Epistemology." We propose a general description on the work of two authors: Steve Fuller and Alvin Goldman. Fuller presents a proposal of normative social epistemology with politics orientation. Fuller sustain claims of sociological work in the field that attack the normative work traditionally undertaken by Philosophy of Science. Fuller says that the empirical dimension is essential to the normative work. Adopting social constructivism and epistemic relativism, Fuller proposes a new way of organizing the search for knowledge. This new organization would emphasize the distribution of knowledge so that people could interfere in the direction of knowledge´s growth. This direction would be taken in a democratic way, in a liberal public forum, and make knowledge production reach maximum efficiency for society. Goldman presents a veristic approach to social epistemology. His project is linked to primary epistemology. Goldman undertakes a reliabilist analysis of the social dimension of knowledge, which seeks to analyze the potential of social practices in the process of forming true beliefs. The author focuses on the evaluation of our practices in testimony and argumentation. From the elements highlighted in this inspection, we can develop strategies to intervene in cases where the actual goal is to obtain true believes. Given the exposure of these two proposals we observe that there are different approaches that guide a study on the social dimension of knowledge. These different approaches have different goals and different assumptions, which lead to the choice of different items for analysis. However, this divergence does not make those projects necessarily opposite.

An annotated bibliography of biographies and autobiographies of negroes, 1839-1961, 1962
No full textA dialogic reimagining of a servant's suffering: understanding second Isaiah's servant of Yahweh as a polyphonic hero
No full textA definitive identification of the Servant figure of Second Isaiah is notoriously difficult, as attested by centuries of conjecture and debate. The interpretive obstacles are profuse: the Servant is addressed as Israel-Jacob, but then spoken of in terms that are not consistent with the nation's experience; in some texts he seems to represent a community, while in others he speaks as an individual; he seems to suffer extreme hardship and persecution, but then is said to experience new life; some of his experiences appear to be historical, while others are best described as idealistic. Further hampering objective interpretations are the pervasive traditional approaches among Christian and Jewish readers, which associate the Servant, equally emphatically, with Jesus or Israel.
But a primary reason the Servant is so difficult to pin down is rarely considered, and that is that there exists no objective image of the Servant anywhere in Second Isaiah. As a literary character he is constituted entirely by dialogue; that is, by discourse addressed to him, spoken by him, and spoken about him by others in the form of a confession. His actions are never described, and his person is never defined. Scholars have referred to this as his 'fluid' nature, but have lacked the methodological tools for a fuller study of this literary curiosity.
The ideas of literary theorist Mikhail Bakhtin speak to this type of characterisation. His 'polyphonic hero' is a fictional character who is constituted by what is spoken to him or her, by what they overhear said concerning them, and by how they make that discourse, and the discourse of the wider world, an aspect of their own self-knowledge. They become known only by the discourse that converges on them, much as the Servant of Second Isaiah is constituted. This thesis develops a reading strategy based on Bakhtin's theory of the polyphonic hero, as well as his broader theories of dialogism. It reimagines the inner discourse of the Servant in order to comprehend him according to the dialogue by which he knows himself, and not according to conventional reading strategies that seek for a fixed, opaque image. In the process it discovers that there are not multiple Servants, which is often posited as a solution to the problem of his fluid nature, but one Servant, Israel-Jacob, whose self-knowledge as the faithful Servant of Yahweh calls empirical Israel to faith in a time of national distress. It concludes that the Servant is present in the collection of Second Isaiah as a 'voice-idea', the embodiment of a theologically critical position that calls many of Israel's theological and ideological presuppositions into question, in order to liberate her for a renewed history as a faithful 'witness' to Yahweh her redeemer
Global Contests in the Production of Business Knowledge :
No full textDrawing on institutional theory, the global production of business research is analysed by examining the system of written outputs using one of the largest databases of journal papers ever assembled, covering over 65,000 articles produced by more than 54,000 authors from over 8,000 different institutions across the period 1992-2005. We begin by pointing out how the US business schools pioneered the modern institutional system of undertaking and disseminating research that involves the intertwining of and university business schools and journals. While Wharton and Harvard are still the leading universities globally, their crowns are slipping, together with the position of the US generally. We observe the greatest challenges to the existing order as coming from European and Asian institutions that have either copied, or been inspired to innovate by adapting, the US system. London Business School, Erasmus, INSEAD and Tilburg are threatening to topple leading US universities in the undertaking of research, and other European and Asian institutions are close behind.
CSI : Kuhn and Latour
No full textI have been always most moved by those whose views I have ended up opposing. I say
'ended up' because the views are typically ones in which I originally invested considerable
study and interest. But then a version of the 'familiarity breeds contempt' principle
sets in, and my intellectual immune system generates antibodies that ward off later, more
virulent strains of such thinkers' thoughts. So fortified, I welcome the opportunity to
reflect on the significance of Kuhn (1962) and Latour (1987), who have been influential
figures in my thinking about science and technology studies (STS) ever since I began to
encounter the field as a graduate student in the early 1980s. In fact, I had read The Structure
of Scientific Revolutions (SSR) as part of Columbia University's required general education
course, 'Contemporary Civilization', in 1976. As for Latour's work, I first read
Laboratory Life in Mary Hesse’s MPhil seminar at Cambridge in 1980, and I remember
purchasing my copy of Science in Action (SIA) in the Brunel University bookshop shortly
after it came out in 1987. I had been there, I believe, courtesy of early Latour collaborator
Steve Woolgar. The trip also coincided with the founding of the journal Social Epistemology
at the Taylor & Francis headquarters in London. In both cases, my first impression was
very favourable – in a way that did not extend to the rest of their works
