On becoming pope in late antiquity

To an extent unusual among holders of papal office in late antiquity, we know something of the family of Gregory the Great (590-604). His father, Gordianus, was a wealthy Roman who had married a lady named Silvia, who herself had a sister named Pateria, while he had another three aunts, Aemiliana, Gordiana, and Tarsilla, the sisters of his father.(1) He also seems to have had one, and possibly a second brother.(2) We know from his writings that his three aunts on his father's side adopted a religious life in common, but they attained very different levels, for Gregory reports that, whereas Gordiana disgraced herself by marrying a farmer on her estates, Tarsilla reached the highest level of holiness. He describes his great-great-grandfather Felix, a bishop of the Roman church, appearing to her in a vision in which he showed her a mansion of great brightness and told her to come, for he would receive her there; soon afterwards, she died of fever.(3) While such details may appear sparse, they provide a basis on which we can make some general statements on the kinds of people who became pope in the period from the late fifth to the early seventh centuries; a table of these popes is appended to this paper. We shall suggest that there was a set of criteria which were met by new popes time and time again, and that these remained surprisingly constant across the period.

A presença e participação das mulheres no movimento de resistência camponesa a partir de Oséias 11

Esta pesquisa busca uma aproximação ao capítulo 11 da profecia atribuída a Oséias. Dedica-se, em especial, ao resgate da memória histórica das mulheres. Por isso não se limita apenas à percepção da sua presença, mas também busca perceber sua participação ativa, criativa e decisiva na caminhada histórica e profética do povo de Israel, no final do século oitavo a.C. A proposição que reside na recuperação desta memória é de que se reconheça as mulheres como sujeito teológico, enquanto co-participantes da produção dos textos bíblicos e, como sujeito social, na resistência ativa às relações de dominação e subordinação das mulheres camponesas e demais minorias oprimidas. Em destaque no cap.11 está o projeto de reconstrução da casa. Esta não é concebida como espaço idealizado, mas como lugar propício para a retomada do projeto libertador do êxodo. Ela torna-se espaço social onde acontece a articulação da oposição ao projeto monárquico, e de construção de alternativas sociais que viabilizam a esperança firmada no valor da vida. É a partir deste espaço concreto viabilizado pela casa, de confronto e resistência, que a história do povo e, da própria monarquia é avaliada. A denúncia profética enfoca a religião colocada a serviço do projeto econômico da monarquia, através da prática do sacrifício, apontada pela profecia com responsável pela desestruturação da casa e por levar Israel à ruína. A profecia também enfoca a denúncia das violências praticadas pelas estruturas de poder monárquico, firmadas na religião. É também neste espaço social da casa que a perspectiva teológica é re-significada e que permite a reconstrução da imagem de Deus. De uma imagem patriarcal monárquica, ela se move em direção a uma imagem feminina maternal, que manifesta a dinâmica diária do cuidado da mãe pelo filho ou pela filha. Nesta representação de Deus está implícita a prática da misericórdia que se concretiza nas relações comunitárias, necessária para a efetivação do projeto de reconstrução que privilegia a casa como espaço concreto que viabiliza perspectivas de esperança.(AU)

Resistance is futile: the borg, the hive, and corporate hegemony

The Borg, a collective of humanoid cyborgs linked together in a hive-mind and modeled on the earthly superorganisms of ant colonies and beehives, has been the most feared alien race in the Star Trek universe. The formidable success of the Borg in assimilating their foes corresponds to the astounding success of superorganisms in our own biosphere. Yet the Borg also serves as a metaphor for another collective of biological entities known as the corporation. In the Anthropocene epoch, corporations have become the most powerful force on the planet; their influence on the social world and the environment exceeds any government and may determine the continued sustainability of human life. Corporations have been described as people and as machines, but neither metaphor accurately describes their essence or contributes to an understanding that might resist their power. This paper reframes our understanding of the corporation by examining the metaphors that are used to describe it, and by suggesting an entirely new metaphor viewing the Borg and the corporation through the lens of sociobiology. I will argue that the corporation is a new form of superorganism that has become the dominant species on the planet and that the immense, intractable power of a globalized, corporate hive-mind has become the principal obstacle to addressing the planetary emergency of climate change. Reframing our metaphoric understanding of corporations as biological entities in the planetary biosphere may enable us to imagine ways to resist their increasing dominance and create a sustainable future. 

Da intervenção da Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Évora: a qualidade das respostas sociais e satisfação percebida dos utentes internos da SCMÉ

O Relatório de estágio tem por desígnio, compreender e analisar, o statu quo das dimensões da satisfação (Contemplando o seu bem-estar pessoal e social) dos utentes das valências da Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Évora, por conseguinte, analisando e compreendendo a qualidade de vida desses mesmos utentes, debruçando-se, pois, sobre as potenciais e/ou evidentes necessidades institucionais por suprimir, e problemas sociais por erradicar. O levantamento da actual informação obteve-se através de dois instrumentos metodológicos de recolha de dados: inquérito por questionário de aplicação directa auto-administrada (utentes), e por intermédio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas (diretores técnicos das valências). Relativamente, aos métodos de tratamento de dados, no primeiro instrumento utilizou-se IBM SPSS 22, já no segundo análise de conteúdo. Após a detecção das necessidades existentes, procedeu-se a elaboração de uma proposta de intervenção sócio-organizacional, por forma a solucionar essas mesmas necessidades existentes. O presente documento estrutura-se em 4 eixos: o Eixo 1 – Componente teórica - ; o Eixo 2 – Componente metodológica - ; Eixo 3 – Componente dos resultados - ; Eixo 4 – Componente de intervenção sócio- organizacional; Abstract: Intervention of the Holy House of Mercy of Evora - The quality of the Social Responses and satisfaction perceived Internal SCME of users -. This work is to design, understand and analyze the status quo of the dimensions of satisfaction (Contemplating their personal and social welfare) of users of the valences of the Holy House of Mercy of Evora, therefore, analyzing and understanding the quality life of these same users, addressing therefore, on potential and / or obvious institutional needs to suppress and eradicate social problems. The survey of current information was obtained through two methodological tools for data collection: survey by self-administered direct application questionnaire (users), and through semi-structured interviews (technical directors of valences). With regard to the data processing methods, the first instrument was used SPSS 22, in the second content analysis. After detection of the needs, it proceeded to draw up a proposal for social and organizational intervention in order to solve these same existing needs. This document is divided into four axes: Axis 1 - Theoretical component -; Axis 2 - methodological component -; Axis 3 - Component of results -; Axis 4 - socio-organizational intervention component.

Uncover the mantle: rediscovering Gregório Lopes palette and technique with a study on the painting “Mater Misericordiae”

Grego´rio Lopes (c. 1490–1550) was one of the most prominent painters of the renaissance and Mannerism in Portugal. The painting “Mater Misericordiae” made for the Sesimbra Holy House of Mercy, circa 1535–1538, is one of the most significant works of the artist, and his only painting on this theme, being also one of the most significant Portuguese paintings of sixteenth century. The recent restoration provided the possibility to study materially the painting for the first time, with a multianalytical methodology incorporating portable energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy–energy-dispersive spectroscopy, micro-X-ray diffraction, micro-Raman spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to diode array and mass spectrometry detectors. The analytical study was complemented by infrared reflectography, allowing the study of the underdrawing technique and also by dendrochronology to confirm the date of the wooden panels (1535–1538). The results of this study were compared with previous ones on the painter’s workshop, and significant differences and similitudes were found in the materials and techniques used
