Che Guevara and revolutionary Christianity in Latin America
No full textThe thesis, firstly, examines the degree to which revolutionary Christianity in Latin America was influenced by Che Guevara and, secondly, seeks to identify aims and objectives shared by Che Guevara and revolutionary Christianity in Latin America. The four expressions of revolutionary Christianity studied in the thesis are: Camilo Torres in Colombia, "The Movement of Priests for the Third World" in Argentina, "Christians for Socialism" in Chile, and revolutionary Christianity during the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua. These groups and individuals cover the period of the emergence and development of revolutionary Christianity in Latin America from the mid 1960s to the mid 1980s. The research has identified three key points of influence, three shared aims and three shared objectives. I argue that Guevara was influential (1) as a revolutionary icon, (2) as one who legitimised Christian participation in revolutionary struggle and (3) as one whose concept of the "new man" was used and developed by some Christian revolutionary thinkers. The three shared aims are identified as (1) socialist/communist society, (2) national liberation and (3) the emergence of the "new man". The three shared objectives are identified as (1) revolutionary unity, (2) taking power and (3) conscientisation. The thesis concludes with a summary of the research findings and an examination of Guevara's "new man" alongside the Christian concept of the "new being in Christ". The thesis proposes a synthesis of Guevara's "new man" with the "new being in Christ" by means of the establishment of small scale Christian co- operatives

Parole che danno vita
No full textIl volume Parole che danno vita di Roberto Quero esplora il potere trasformativo del linguaggio e della narrazione nella dimensione etica e spirituale dell’essere umano. Inserito nel contesto del Terzo Corso di Teologia della Laurea Triennale presso l’Università Cattolica, il testo si sviluppa attorno all’idea che le parole possano essere strumenti di libertà o di oppressione, di illuminazione o di oscuramento. Attraverso un approccio narrativo, il libro intreccia il racconto biblico con la letteratura profana, dimostrando come il linguaggio sia una chiave di accesso alla comprensione del bene e della giustizia.
Le riflessioni di Quero si snodano tra riferimenti a Sant’Agostino, Francesco d’Assisi, e autori come George Eliot e Paul Ricoeur, evidenziando come la narrazione sia un elemento essenziale per la costruzione del senso della vita e della fede. Il volume affronta il rapporto tra parola e potere, mostrando episodi storici di censura e controllo del linguaggio, e invitando il lettore a riscoprire il valore delle storie nel processo di discernimento e crescita personale.
Attraverso un linguaggio accessibile e coinvolgente, Parole che danno vita si presenta come un testo che non solo introduce alla teologia narrativa, ma che invita il lettore a diventare protagonista di un percorso di scoperta e trasformazione.The book Parole che danno vita by Roberto Quero explores the transformative power of language and narrative within the ethical and spiritual dimensions of human existence. Rooted in the framework of the Third Course in Theology for the Bachelor’s Degree at Università Cattolica, this work engages with theological hermeneutics, literary analysis, and philosophical inquiry to examine how words can either liberate or constrain, enlighten or obscure. Through a narrative-driven methodology, Quero interweaves biblical stories, literary classics, and contemporary cultural reflections, demonstrating how storytelling serves as a key mechanism for interpreting reality, shaping moral consciousness, and fostering critical engagement with the self and society.
The book underscores the interplay between sacred and secular narratives, illustrating how biblical texts function not merely as doctrinal sources but as dynamic, performative discourses that challenge and inspire the reader. Drawing from figures such as Augustine, Francis of Assisi, George Eliot, and Paul Ricoeur, the author emphasizes the existential and pedagogical dimensions of narrative theology, where biblical parables and literary fiction alike provide ethical paradigms and cognitive frameworks for making sense of human experience.
Furthermore, the text delves into the historical and political dimensions of language, addressing issues of censorship, knowledge control, and the emancipatory potential of reading. Through an interdisciplinary approach—bridging theology, semiotics, literary studies, and ethics—this work offers a compelling reflection on the power of words to shape individual identity and collective memory.
Written in an accessible yet academically rigorous style, Parole che danno vita serves as an invaluable resource for scholars in humanities, theology, religious studies, and cultural criticism, as well as for readers interested in the intersections of faith, literature, and philosophy. The book ultimately presents an invitation: to engage with texts not as passive recipients but as active interpreters and co-creators of meaning, in a continuous dialogue between tradition and contemporary ethical challenges
Sistemi di pianificazione come "tecnologie istituzionali": utilità e implicazioni del concetto
No full textLa corrente crisi globale, originata dalla bolla immobiliare statunitense, e la più generale difficoltà di regolare lo sviluppo urbano a fronte dei pressanti cambiamenti ambientali e sociali rinnovano i problemi di governo del territorio e invitano a riflettere sull'adeguatezza dei sistemi di pianificazione istituiti nel secolo scorso. L'analisi comparata dei sistemi di pianificazione, sviluppatasi in anni recenti specialmente in Europa, è potenzialmente utile a tale scopo. I confronti svolti finora rivelano, tuttavia, più che altro l'assenza di una riflessione sulla natura di un sistema di pianificazione, che inibisce i giudizi di merito e disorienta i propositi di rinnovamento. A fronte del problema richiamato, il presente contributo pone l'attenzione sulla natura di "tecnologia istituzionale" che caratterizza i sistemi di pianificazione e ne considera alcune implicazioni di ordine general
Application of Barthes' "Death of the Author" to qur'an: possible or impossible?
No full textQur'an as the sacred book of Muslims has been subjected to different types of interpretations from the beginning of its revelations, approximately from 1400 years ago. All the Islamic theology scholars, even unmuslims, tried to make a contribution as the best of their abilities to its understanding. By the advent of new post-structuralist approaches of textual analysis techniques in West, the possibility of interpreting this holy book has obsessed the modern textual analysts all over the world. This article tried to investigate the possibility of Barthes’ “Death of the Author” as one of the most controversial theories of modern text analysis. Considering the fact that, the author of Qur'an has not been a human to compose the text based on the dominant social, cultural and economical context of that time, the application of Barthes’ “Death of the Author” to the Qur'anic interpretation seems to be logically impossible. Furthermore, as the Qur'anic verses are classified into two categories of “Mohkamaat” and “Motashabehaat” based on Quran itself, this theory of text analysis can be utmost be applied to the latter in order to offer a better comprehension of the “Mohkamaat” as there are various interpretations of these “ayahs” in Islamic literature
Political narrative fiction and the responsibility of the author
No full textArt in general and fiction in particular have had close affinities with politics throughout history. When there is a close tie between a narrative fiction and political issues then critics may deem it as "committed fiction". Political fiction is at the crossroads of political science and the art of fiction. And more often than not, novelists are involved with politics but not all of them are dubbed as or even consider themselves to be political novelists. In this article I attempt to investigate political fiction as a distinct genre produced (un)consciously by a range of (politically committed) novelists and critics. The authors discussed in this paper demonstrate dissimilar perspectives on freedom and democracy. Also, regarding political fiction and the responsibility of author, we will see how divergent is the attitudes of critics such as George Orwell, Allen Robbe-Grillet, Juan Goytisolo, Mario Vargas Llosa and Isabel Allende
