From flesh to fiction : the visible and the invisible in the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Eudora Welty and Elizabeth Bowen.
No full textPhDOur ways of thinking modernism and its legacy are imprinted with the pattern of an
opposition, a struggle between two sets of extremes: objective and subjective; form
and feeling; mechanistic and organic; mind and body; knowing and being; self and
world; aesthetic and historical. The three writers whose work I explore in this thesis
challenge prevailing notions of this oppositional discourse. Entering the scene of
modernism late in its history, Elizabeth Bowen, Eudora Welty and Maurice Merleau-
Ponty develop a new kind of vision that makes us rethink the relationships between
perceiver and perceived, between mind, body and world. All three writers undertake a
fundamental reorganisation of the relationships between internal consciousness and
external things through the narration of a perception that is outside the limits of
discrete sensations or causal relationships. Physical things are neither pure objecthood
nor merely external triggers for the ramblings of a solipsistic consciousness, rather
they infringe on a consciousness whose own edges are indistinct. This writing
establishes an interdependent and interlocutory relationship between subject and
world, which become not opposite ends of a perceptual scale, but aspects of a common
flesh. The intimate connection to the world is both comforting and threatening, both
reinforcing subjectivity and de-centring it.
The re-ordering of the connections between self and world leads to a reassessment of
collective identity and historical agency, as well as impacting upon approaches to
modes of representation. In trying to express the pre-linguistic experience of embodied
consciousness, this writing looks to models of mute expression found in visual images.
Exploring how the invisible aspects of experience emerge within the visible realm, the
writing takes on an often hallucinatory or uncanny character. Charting the passage
from being to doing, from perception to creation, from the style of the flesh to the style
of fiction, Merleau-Ponty, Welty and Bowen dissolve received boundaries and
distinctions at every level

The Effect of Food Insecurity Training on Knowledge, Awareness, Screening, and Intervention Practices within Two Pediatric Wards at an Academic Medical Center
Get PDFBackground and Introduction • Food insecurity is a major driver of preventable disease. Providers can screen to identify patients at risk for food insecurity using a two-question survey tool called “The Hunger Vital Sign”. Screening barriers identified in the literature include lack of provider knowledge, comfort, and capacity for effective intervention. Addressing this provider knowledge gap through training is essential for implementing robust and sustainable clinical food insecurity screening practices. • This study aims to evaluate the effect of food insecurity education on providers’ knowledge and awareness of food insecurity and their likelihood to screen and make referrals for at-risk patients, as well as to encourage healthcare providers to foster a culture of food insecurity screening and intervention in their practices. Objectives 1. To determine providers’ knowledge of food insecurity and awareness of referral practices and resources to help patients experiencing food insecurity. 2. To determine if providers’ participation in formal food insecurity training influences their likelihood of incorporating food insecurity screening into their patient interviews. 3. To determine if providers’ action following a positive screen is affected by participating in food insecurity training
Debating Africa : BBC's documentary "Heart & soul - return to Zanzibar"
Get PDFThis issue of ISJ carried another article in the irregular series "Debating and Documenting Africa", the first one having been published in volume 1, number 2 (June 2008). This issue carries a discussion between Katy Hickman, Senior Producer at BBC World Service Religion and Ethics and Prof. Abdul Sheriff, formerly Professor of History at the University of Dar es Salaam and Director of Zanzibar Museums and the author of forthcoming titles, Dhow Cultures of the Indian Ocean: Cosmopolitanism, Commerce and Islam and The Early Dhow Culture in the Indian Ocean: From the Periplus to the Portuguese. The context of this debate is BBC Radio’s "Return to Zanzibar" programme in their series, Heart & Soul. Setting the scene is Katy Hickman’s contact with Prof. Sheriff in which she enclosed an early outline of the programme. This is followed by Prof. Sheriff’s response which raises various key issue of relevance to the study of Africa. This is followed by Katy Hickman’s response which explains how the final version was influenced by points raised by Prof. Sheriff. Also included is a later piece by the presenter of the programme, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown. While not part of this discussion, the latter is included to provide the presenter’s perspective. All these provide a look behind the scene on debates that take place before programmes are made and bring out the key role that historians, researchers and academicians can, and need to play, in social communications. ISJ’s Editorial Board re-presents this debate to stimulate further discussion
Following the Mission Leader: The Value of Imitational Learning in the Training of Apostolic Church Planting Teams at Memorial Lutheran Church in Katy, Texas
Get PDFDavis, Jr., John F. “Following the Mission Leader: The Value of Imitational Learning in the Training of Apostolic Church Planting Teams at Memorial Lutheran Church in Katy, TX.” Doctor of Ministry. Major Applied Project, Concordia Seminary, 2025. pp. 272
Reaching the unchurched and unbaptized in our communities with the Gospel of Jesus Christ is a huge challenge for most of our churches. In The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, the number of adults being baptized in the churches (a measure of our effectiveness in carrying out the Missio Dei) is less than one per year. To reach people who have no church experience and no predisposition to attend church one must go out to reach them with the hope of forming new communities of new disciples, and one must train God’s people to be able to do so. This MAP focuses on that training process, and particularly the imitational learning element of that training. Because relationships and conversations are so important in being able to give witness to Christ among those who don’t know Jesus, imitational learning is essential to be able to prepare God’s people to have spiritual conversations with their neighbors. This imitational learning is part of a model of planting the Church that goes back to the apostles and the early Church. There a mission leader lived and ministered in such a way that was to be imitated by those who followed and learned from him. The project was focused on the effectiveness of this aspect of training in a pilot apostolic church planting team that utilized a called missionary to lead a community of lay people in becoming disciples who make disciples through spiritual conversations. The accompanied research revealed positive impacts and fruit borne in the imitational learning aspect of the training and also offered areas to be refined for future planting teams
