Da movimento ereticale a chiesa riformata: una lettura del valdismo attraverso le sue confessioni di fede

2020

Este artículo tiene por objeto analizar el encuentro entre Valdismo y Reforma, y la trasformación del movimiento herético medieval en iglesia reformada a través del examen de dos confesiones de fe: la Declaración del Sínodo de Chanforan (1532), por medio de la cual se determina la incorporación de los valdenses a la Reforma, y la Confesión de fe valdense de 1655, en la que podemos relevar los rasgos de una iglesia ya claramente definida, provista de una doctrina, una organización y una disciplina eclesiástica marcadamente protestantes.

The Imago Primi Saeculi Societatis Iesv (1640). Devotion, Politics and the Emblem.

2018

ABSTRACT: The Imago Primi Saeculi Societatis Iesv (1640) is, perhaps, the most beautiful book of emblems published by the Jesuits in the seventeenth century. The book is a festive commemoration offered by the priests and students of the Flemish-Belgian Province in celebration of the centenary of the founding of the Society of Jesus. The work includes 127 full-page emblems distributed throughout a total of 956 folio-sized pages that narrate and illustrate in emblematic fashion the foundation, development, vicisstitudes and achievements of the Socirty in its evangelical and pedagogical mission. From the moment of its publication, the Imago was the object of attacks by Huguenauts and Jansenist…

The Origin of Life: More Questions Than Answers

1988

AbstractMore than 30 years of experimentation on the origin of life in the fields of chemical and molecular evolution have led to a better perception of the immensity of the problem of the origin of life on Earth rather than to its solution. At present all discussions on principal theories and experiments in the field either end in stalemate or in a confession of ignorance. New lines of thinking and experimentation must be tried. The continued exploration of our solar system, especially a better knowledge of Mars and Venus, of comets and carbonaceous meteorites may also lead to a better understanding of the prebiotic environment on Earth and will thus help us to design more appropriate preb…

Catherine Jagiellon, Queen Consort of Sweden: Counselling Between the Catholic Jagiellons and the Lutheran Vasas

2018

Catherine Jagiellon (1526–83), was a Catholic Polish-Lithuanian princess married to a Lutheran Swedish Prince, John Vasa, Duke of Finland and later King of Sweden. Her case provides important insights into the impact of confessional differences within a royal marriage of the sixteenth century and their consequences for counsel. The chapter highlights the significance of Catherine’s network of confidants, and the role of her entourage in providing political support. While she was not always a successful counsellor, evidence from her correspondence demonstrates that she was a careful manager of her self-presentation in a range of delicate situations.

Confession, Voice and the Sensualization of Power: The Significance of Michel Foucault’s 1962 Encounter with Jean-Jacques Rousseau

2012

Michel Foucault is known for his critiques of the intertwinement of empirical knowledge, perception and experience, and power. Within this general framework, this article focuses on a fairly unnoticed text of Foucault’s: his 1962 Introduction to Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Dialogues. The article shows that Foucault’s Introduction is central for more than one reason: Firstly, it is apparently the first piece, in which Foucault focuses in detail on confession as an individualizing mode of power and truth-utterance. Secondly, in this text, Foucault treats confession as an empirical, sensual and affective form of power. Thirdly, in this early text, Foucault presents what can be called his critique …

The Makings of Mother in Diary Narratives

2004

This article ponders the special character of “confessional” texts, especially the diary-form text both for its keeper and for its researcher. Diaries written by ordinary people certainly give us knowledge about psychic, cultural, and social realities, but what kind of knowledge, and how could it be interpreted? This article uses a toolbox of narrative discourse analysis critically applied to diary texts written by three mothers during the 1960s, 1980s, and 1990s. Theoretically, feminist ideas of the desire to mother and Foucauldian thought of the arts of existence are made use of in the article.

Enfermedad y caída en Albert Camus

2016

Este artículo está centrado en el tema de la enfermedad en Albert Camus. Se hace especial hincapié en su última novela publicada, La Chute. El tema de la enfermedad es usualmente enfocado en relación con la muerte y la finitud en la literatura y la filosofía. En este artículo se enfoca en relación con la experiencia existencial de la enfermedad como decaimiento de la plenitud vital. El caso de Albert Camus es especialmente significativo por su condición de enfermo crónico y porque la enfermedad ocupa un lugar destacado en sus obras literarias. Aquí se ha escogido La Chute porque ofrece una riqueza de niveles interpretativos sin parangón en la obra camusiana. Se propondrá dos niveles distint…
