Evangelical young women, contemporary Christianity, and an empowering self- understanding: a study into how contemporary women of faith understand themselves and God in relation to Dei, Holy Scripture and Christian mission

This thesis combines historical reflection with qualitative research to examine how Christian young women from Evangelical traditions are developing religious self- understanding in empowering ways. It seeks to establish connections between the ways in which historians and feminist theologians have responded to forces of restriction and limitation in Christian women’s past, and the strategies of self-empowerment adopted by Evangelical young women today. This study approaches Christian history and the present condition of female self-understanding through three central questions: How do young women understand themselves in relation to the imago Dei? How do young women understand themselves in relation to the Bible? How do young women understand themselves in relation to Christian mission? The first chapter addresses the ways in which young women are responding to historic denials of woman as the imago Dei and concepts of female inferiority or especial guilt by reclaiming possession of the divine image. The next section discusses how young women are relating to the Bible in empowering ways, both by adopting similar strategies to those utilised throughout Christianity’s past, and through the development of their own patterns of interpretation. Finally, this thesis draws attention to Christian mission as a space of empowerment, examining how young women develop life-enriching knowledge of God and self through involvement with mission. This thesis proposes that as young women continue to develop strategies that enable them to understand themselves and their faith in empowering ways, knowledge of their innate dignity and potential will inspire them — and those who come after them — to witness to God freely and fully in all contexts.

Narrativas audiovisuales. Personajes, acciones y escenarios

En la mayoría de los largometrajes de ficción, existen tres elementos que se configuran como la principal fuente de historias. En toda narración audiovisual, algo (acción) le pasa a alguien (personaje) en algún lugar (escenario). Son, entonces, estos tres elementos mencionados los que articularon el trabajo del grupo IMAGO de la Universidad de Medellín, y de los profesores Alfredo Caminos y María Jesús Ruiz, buscando esa memoria histórica y social que es el cine. ¿Quiénes son esos personajes recurrentes que el cine contemporáneo narra? ¿Qué acciones de la vida no se dejan ver en las películas y cuáles son los elementos simbólicos a través de los cuales el cine representa la realidad? También las situaciones o acciones que se narran en el cine, y la forma en la que se narran pueden darnos una idea de cuál es la nueva mirada que tenemos sobre nosotros mismos.

Enea Silvio Piccolomini en España. Con la edición del "Tratado de la miseria de los cortesanos", (Sevilla, Cromberger, 1520)

As it is well known, the Renaissance in Spain cannot be understood without a deep knowledge of the Italian quattrocento: art and thinking have an important debt with a culture that shaped a new society that can be named Modern Era. So, there are many intellectuals that are the main reference to our writers: Leonardo Bruni, Giannozzo Manetti, Bartolomeo Facio, Antonio Beccadelli, Poggio Bracciolini, Francesco Filelfo, Flavio Biondo, Lorenzo Valla, Vespasiano da Bisticci, Pier Candido Decembrio, Guarino da Verona, Pico della Mirandola, Marsilio Ficino, and a big number that includes necessarily the name of Enea Silvio Piccolomini (1405-1464). In effect, the creator that became Pope as Pío II is one outstanding figure of that Humanism that early putted down roots in Spain, a country in construction that produced very important fruits in those years. Under these circumstances, this study has as main objective to analyse the large work of the humanist Pope par excellence, and to establish the relationship between his writings and genres, works and authors in the Iberian peninsula that wrote under his influence. Furthermore, in the following pages can be found a edition of the translation, by Diego López de Cortegana, of one of Picolomini’s works, the Tratado de la miseria de los cortesanos, a work that can be taken as an example of the attention payed to his works by authors like Juan de Lucena, Rodrigo Sánchez de Arévalo, Cristóbal de Castillejo or fray Antonio de Guevara. After a brief introduction that points that the attention to Enea Silvio Piccolomini is not diminishing, that, on the contrary, is clearly alive if we consider modern editions and translations to different languages, I concentrate on the biography of Pío II. With this purpose I take as base the text that this humanist wrote with the aim of building an adequate imago vitae that related the achievements in the religious sphere (with a failed promotion of a last crusade against the Turk) and also his creative labour. I refer to the Commentarii rerum memorabilium quae temporibus suis contingerunt, an extensive autobiography that did not spare the self-praise and conceals some controversial author’s facts, such as the “reconciling” thesis that undermined the Popes authority and power. In addition, in that chapter can be found a study of the writing process of the titles that includes Piccolomini’s bibliography, since we can think that the author’s commentary is extremely relevant to inform about the moment of writing and its purpose...

A FALSA CRISE OU POR QUÊ A GEOGRAFIA NÃO ENTRA EM CRISE?

A clássica leitura econômica e a funcional leitura espacial não têm sido suficientes para explicar as novas dinâmicas do mundo das mercadorias, porque não estamos falando simplesmente de mercadorias e objetos espaciais, mas de subjetividades incorporadas a estes, de relações de trocas subjetivas criadas a partir da assimilação dos objetos pelo mundo. Para além do valor de uso é preciso também apagar o valor simbólico que aos objetos e lugares são assimilados. Entramos em discussões profundas que envolvem outros conhecimentos sempre pela porta dos fundos, e reforçamos uma idéia que nos tem sido muito cara, a idéia de síntese, por isso outras ciências nos buscam para que processemos a nova síntese do mundo, nosso eterno papel, pois sem ela como poderão pensar esse mundo que se apresenta. Sabem que temos os instrumentos, mais que suficientes para a construção do novo imago mundi, mas sabem também que poderíamos, se tivéssemos clareza disso, oferecer além de uma imagem ordenada, oferecer também uma autêntica explicação sobre as mutações espaciais. Por isso a geografia não entra em crise e quando entra gera falsas crises ou falsos dilemas, como o mundo versus lugar, cotidiano versus história, fragmentação versus globalização, dentre outros nossos conhecidos.
