    Cocktail Hour, Gregory and Watts

    No full text
    For Art Month Gregory and Watts have created a series of videos and paintings unpacking the complexity of the simple cocktail. As the cocktail sees a slow revival thanks to Mad Men and Hipsters they ask what’s so important about a cocktail? The performance of making and drinking cocktails is one of the many rituals of class, in fact that functions all the more through the contemporary mask of irony. This knowledge functions even through denial (“I don’t know how to make a Manhattan”) particularly in art where artists are still expected to pretend their field isn’t elitist. Gregory and Watts make and drink a series of cocktails to unmask the myth of their own position as well as the myths/history/ideology of the sites in which they make them. For example Cosmopolitan The Block situates the making and the drinking of the Sex and the City “girls favourite drink” in the newly gentrified Redfern area. The Block, once was an area of Aboriginal managed housing but it has recently been sold off. What are the complicated interests and histories running through the site that can lead to two artists, surrounded by “alcohol is prohibited” signs, to make a Cosmopolitan

    The 'Prehistory' of Gregory of Tours: An Analysis of Books I-IV of Gregory's Histories

    No full text
    This thesis is concerned with the structure and agenda of the first four books of Gregory of Tours� Histories. Building on the idea that it was the death of Gregory�s patron, king Sigibert, at the end of Book IV, that stimulated the writing of the Histories, I argue that the agenda of the first four books, the �Prehistory�, relates directly to the events that brought about the Civil War that resulted in Sigibert�s death. This focus has previously gone unrecognised. I suggest that there is a strong structural framework to this section of the Histories, designed to promote the author�s agenda. This confirms that Books I-IV were conceived as one unit, and also heightens the level at which modern scholarship should view Gregory�s literary achievement. This in turn should illuminate the state of Merovingian education and society as a whole. The message behind Gregory�s carefully structured �Prehistory� is an expansion of the Preface to Book V, in which Gregory pleads with his audience, his contemporary kings, to follow the path of God, like their ancestor, Clovis. This will bring peace and an end to greed and Civil War. This path, continually espoused by the agents of the Lord, His bishops, would lead to a successful reign and a healthy kingdom. Failure to listen to Gregory and his colleagues, would lead only to ruin, a message reiterated throughout the Prehistory, and highlighted in the death of king Sigibert

    Language and theology in St Gregory of Nyssa

    No full text
    This MA thesis focuses on the work of one of the most influential and authoritative theologians of the early Church: St Gregory of Nyssa (†396). My topic of research consists in the relationship between language and theology, as it shaped in Gregory’s polemical works against the radical Arians, in particular against Eunomius of Cyzicus (†395).The first chapter tackles the historical side of the controversy and provides the chronology of the dogmatic disputes on the dogma of Trinity following the Council of Nicaea (325). The second chapters illustrate the conflict being at stake between two theological methodologies: Gregory's grammar of thought is scriptural, whereas Eunomius' theology is much more philosophical and inflexible in its terms. Eunomius claimed that one can know God by his essence in the concept of 'ingenerate'. On the contrary, for Gregory of Nyssa, God 'is above all names'. For him, language and sexuality are realitites of the post-lapsarian world, which made human mind opaque and the exercise of interpretation indispensable. Gregory included also the episode of Babel in the genealogy of our linguistic finitude. The third and the fourth chapters focus on the relationship between language and theological knowledge in St Gregory's third book Contra Eunomium. All words used in human language - including Eunomius' concept of agennetos – have complementary meanings, since no one can describe the essence of an object or of any part of reality. On this basis, Gregory develops his 'theory of relativity' of names, which can never befit God's majesty and glory. In the last chapter, under the heading 'Pragmatics of Language', I investigate the immediate consequences of Gregory's 'theory of relativity'. Speech is treated as a sphere, which resembles the creative power of the hypostatic Word. Therefore, rhetoric becomes the perfect tool for his pastoral concern in doing theology. By choosing rhetoric, Gregory is free to start his theological argument from anywhere, since theology is a discourse about God's redemptive economy. In conclusion, I try to emphasise the actuality of Gregory's theory of names and its importance for the contemporary debates in the Church on thorny issues as Trinitarian theology or gender. I also evaluate Gregory of Nyssa's self-consistency in positive terms

    La epistemología de Gregory Bateson busca terminar con la escisión, creada por occidente, entre mente y cuerpo, palabra y gesto, razón y corazón. En la medida que uno de los supuestos de la postura de este antropólogo es considerar a la cultura como epistemologías locales, las posibilidades que ofrece para la comprensión de las identidades culturales en nuestro país son inmensas
