Pasolini and Third World hunger: an approach to Cinema Novo through 'La ricotta'

Among the links between Pier Paolo Pasolini and Brazilian Cinema Novo, one of the most inspiring is the political approach to hunger and consumption. In this text, I analyse this topic to look at how some of the aesthetic ideas in Pasolini’s La ricotta (1963) can also be found in some of the most important films of Cinema Novo. In 'La ricotta' (1963), the irresistible need to eat of a subproletarian interacts and clashes with his responsibilities as an actor in a movie version of the Passion of Christ, so that the film creates a complex network of relations between film shooting, social differences, art, hunger, consumption, time and light, which turns the film set into a space for displaying political relations, differences, exploitation and revolution. The correspondences between these concepts and some aggression techniques of Cinema Novo are numerous and confirm the capacity of Pasolini’s film to project ideas on cinema and politics beyond its particular production context.

Entre cristo e o diabo:o ideário do Colégio Americano Batista do Recife (1902-1942)

Due to lack of work on the history of Baptist schools in the Northeast region of Brazil, it is important to understand through a historical reconstruction of the Baptist Protestant education. We embarked on this venture as a chance to understand the presence of Protestant schools, and his ideas on Brazilian soil. Our goal is to promote a reflection which has the axial dimension of the Baptists Protestant education, in time, we will place the debate between 1902-1942. The temporal boundaries of 1902-1942 was because 1902 was when he started the American Baptist College of Recife in 1942 and that ends the cycle of managing directors of Americans. Understand the functionality of time a school is justified when we realize that the history of education is the story of a work of self and formation within a framework that has the school as the main support that can enable a reading of reality. We also intend to examine the school culture brought to Brazil by American missionaries and their applicability in the Brazilian cultural-historical context. And just to demonstrate the hypothesis that the educational contribution of Baptists added to the participation of other Protestants promoted advances in Brazilian society. Possibly taking for granted that the Baptists were in possession of the democratic ideals of religious freedom, taken by many representatives and religious version of the republican regime. In addition to promoting a model in Brazil to make different methodological schools, based on the ideals of new school and ethics of the Bible. Our proposed research aims at understanding how North American missionaries settled in Brazil and what were the purposes of adding to the efforts of evangelization to formal education, binomial that justified the establishment of schools. A vision of saving men for evangelization and education of the Devil attack victims over the ethics of Christ

Presepe: criação de uma realidade

O texto que segue tem como objetivo propor uma leitura do conto “Presepe”, de Guimarães Rosa, mostrando o caminho trilhado pelo personagem Tio Bola para reviver o momento do nascimento do menino Jesus, rompendo os limites impostos pela realidade e recuperando o instante sagrado, com todas as transformações que essa decisão acarreta ao personagem. O conto narra um instante mágico de elevação do sujeito, uma verdadeira torrente de imaginação, poesia e fé. Toda essa atmosfera está repleta de símbolos, que representam o coletivo e o individual, e compõem a trama poética do conto.

Em busca da formação social brasileira: marxismo e vida acadêmica

O texto trata da articulação entre o nacional-desenvolvimentismo presente na produção cultural da década de 1950 e a pauta, essencialmente acadêmica e científica, proposta pela chamada escola de sociologia uspiana, sob o comando de Florestan Fernandes. Pretende-se demonstrar que, a despeito da aparente incongurência das duas proposições, na conjuntura de radicalização política e ideológica que se desenvolveu no período e em virtude da leitura de Marx efetivada pelos discípulos de Fernandes, ocorreu um deslocamento desse grupo para uma posição de esquerda que o aproximou, ainda que criticamente, dos temas hegemônicos à época.

Das Aussehen Christi in der deutschen Bildkunst des 19. Jahrhunderts : Wandlungen des Christusbildes

Bei der vorliegenden Arbeit handelt es sich um ein Überblickswerk zum Christusbild, dem Aussehen Christi in der deutschen Bildkunst des 19. Jahrhunderts und dessen Wandlungen. Grundlage der Arbeit bildet eine von der Autorin zusammengetragene Materialsammlung und deren Auswertung, basierend auf der Kenntnis von Originalen sowie der Sichtung von Literatur (insbesondere von Lexika, Museums- und Ausstellungskatalogen, Werkverzeichnissen sowie maßgeblichen deutschen Kunstzeitschriften des 19. Jahrhunderts). Das hieraus resultierende systematische Bildverzeichnis umfasst 1.914 Werke in Form von Staffeleibildern, Druckgraphik, wandgebundenen Gemälden (und auch Skulpturen); davon sind 729 mit Abbildungen in der Arbeit dokumentiert. In alphabetischer Reihenfolge abgefasst, enthält das Verzeichnis zu jedem Eintrag Kurzinformationen zu Werk und Künstler, sowie Literatur- und ggf. Abbildungsnachweise. Auf dieser Basis geht die Untersuchung über den bisher relativ kleinen Kreis einschlägig bekannter Christusbilder weit hinaus und gibt erstmals einen umfassenden und für das 19. Jahrhundert repräsentativen Überblick.rnDer auf dieses Material gestützte Hauptteil befasst sich mit der eingehenden Betrachtung der „Grundtypen“ des Christusbildes, womit das Aussehen Christi (Physiognomie, Gesamtgestalt, Gewandung, Habitus und Gestik) gemeint ist. Schwerpunkte der Arbeit bilden zunächst das an der Renaissance (insbesondere an Raffael) orientierte „milde“ Christusbild des Klassizismus und die „inniglich-schöne“ Idealgestalt der Romantik (variiert auch mit altdeutschen Elementen), aus der schließlich das bis in die Gegenwart verwendete, kitschig-süßliche Devotionalienbild resultierte. Eine historisierende, ethnologische Rekonstruktion eines „jüdischen“ Jesus, erschien besonders in der „Orientmalerei“ seit den vierziger Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die Ablehnung und Abgrenzung der Orientmalerei führte zu einer „historischen Reformationsmalerei“ mit altdeutschen Elementen und auch teilweise zu einer Tendenz der „Germanisierung“ des Bildes Jesu mit genrehaften Zügen. Zum Jahrhundertende hin wurden außerdem vielfältige Versuche beobachtet, den Gottmenschen Jesus in „zeitgenössischem“ Aussehen volksnah in die Gegenwart der Gläubigen einzubinden. Im Symbolismus traten hingegen heroisierende Tendenzen auf bis hin zu einer „Entwirklichung“ der Gestalt Christi. Zusammenfassende Beobachtungen zu den häufig verwendeten und „beliebten“ Themen der Christusdarstellung im 19. Jahrhundert runden die Arbeit ab, in der eine bislang ungekannte Differenzierung und Vielfalt der Darstellungsmöglichkeiten Christi in der religiösen Kunst des 19. Jahrhunderts aufgezeigt werden konnte.

Collingwood on religious atonement

R. G. Collingwood’s philosophical analysis of religious atonement as a dialectical process of mortal repentance and divine forgiveness is explained and criticized. Collingwood’s Christian concept of atonement, in which Christ TeX the Atonement (and also TeX the Incarnation), is subject in turn to another kind of dialectic, in which some of Collingwood’s leading ideas are first surveyed, and then tested against objections in a philosophical evaluation of their virtues and defects, strengths and weaknesses. Collingwood’s efforts to synthesize objective and subjective aspects of atonement, and his proposal to solve the soteriological problem as to why God becomes flesh, as a dogma of some Christian belief systems, is finally exposed in adversarial exposition as inadequately supported by one of his main arguments, designated here as Collingwood’s Dilemma. The dilemma is that sin is either forgiven or unforgiven by God. If God forgives sin, then God’s justice is lax, whereas if God does not forgive sin, then, also contrary to divine nature, God lacks perfect loving compassion. The dilemma is supposed to drive philosophy toward a concept of atonement in which the sacrifice of Christ is required in order to absolve God of the lax judgment objection. God forgives sin only when the price of sin is paid, in this case, by the suffering and crucifixion of God’s avatar. The dilemma can be resolved in another way than Collingwood considers, undermining his motivation for synthesizing objective and subjective facets of the concept of atonement for the sake of avoiding inconsistency. Collingwood is philosophically important because he asks all the right questions about religious atonement, and points toward reasonable answers, even if he does not always deliver original philosophically satisfactory solutions.

Female Imitatio Christi in early modernity – the search for strong virgins like St Wilgefortis

At first glance you think that this is Christ crucified. At a second glance, you recognize a woman hanging on a cross. This is not an invention of the 20th century but reaches back to history where we we can find women cross-dressed or even bearded as men. St Wilgefortis or St Uncumber was a bearded and crucified woman who was venerated widely in northern Europe during the fifteeneth and sixteenth centuries. Wilgefortis is a corruption of the term „virgo fortis“ („strong virgin“). She and other female saints were considered as „imitations of Christ���. The paper deals with the reasons why this saint became so popular and how even today ideas about such strong virgins which mirror androgynous symbolism live on in popular culture.

Francisco Romero : América en el diálogo epistolar

El epistolario del filósofo argentino Francisco Romero (Sevilla, 1891 – Buenos Aires, 1962) con colegas y discípulos de Chile y con extranjeros afincados voluntariamente o no en ese país, constituyó una notable red intelectual en torno al conocimiento de América, entre 1934 y 1962. La construcción del americanismo filosófico fue una de las preocupaciones aglutinantes, y las reflexiones que se produjeron se entroncaron con las circunstancias políticas, ideológicas, sociales, culturales y económicas de cada uno de sus miembros.

"Soldados de Cristo Rey" : notas sobre la cultura y la crisis del apostolado en la Juventud de Acción Católica (1940-1955)

El trabajo analiza uno de los espacios asociativos juveniles de la Acción Católica Argentina (A.C.A): la Juventud de Acción Católica (J.A.C). Aborda como se esbozó esa tendencia asociativa dentro y fuera de las Parroquias, los elementos formativos en los cuales eran educados los jóvenes por medio del apostolado celular, los mecanismos de ingreso, las formas de inserción barrial y las relaciones político-contextuales que actuaron como telón de fondo y, de cierta forma, "competían" con la J.A.C.. El trabajo nos direcciona a pensar las distintas formas en que la juventud -entendida en términos culturales y no solamente biológicos- se insertó en determinados espacios sociales en pos de definir una identidad juvenil. Esto se dio en una coyuntura en la cual la Iglesia había intentado "re cristianizar" la sociedad argentina batallando contra los elementos del liberalismo que dominaban la esfera política.

Romanian glocalization : Case study on the Rosia Montana Gold Corporation Mining Project

At the end of the communist era, which was characterised as a closed social experiment, Romania found itself in the middle of a globalization process. Its industrial capacities have been considerably reduced through a poor and spendthrift management. There was a mass exodus of the labour force abroad and the educational background for the remaining part was no longer in agreement with the labour market. On these grounds, the vectors of globalization, in the form of foreign investments, entered Romania effortlessly. There even were local communities where the arrival of foreign investors was expected like a second coming of Christ. This is the context in which a Canadian company set forth the mining project Rosia Montana Gold Corporation. The implementation of the project should have started in 2005. Nevertheless, the project has not been effectively launched yet. This situation is based on what we call Romanian glocalization, namely a specific confrontation between global and local on Romanian land

El tratado demonológico como espacio del conflicto político entre la autoridad religiosa y los emergentes Estados territoriales : El Malleus Maleficarum y la subordinación de la autoridad seglar a la eclesiástica

Tomando en consideración las motivaciones particulares de los autores del Malleus Maleficarum y los condicionantes culturales de su redacción, este trabajo pondrá el foco en las reflexiones allí vertidas acerca del rol de la autoridad secular, y su relación de cara a los inquisidores como representantes eclesiásticos, en la extirpación de la nueva secta de las brujas. Finalmente establecerá la relación existente entre la producción del texto y la emergencia del Estado territorial moderno. Podemos adelantar que un período en el que comienzan a emerger las nuevas estructuras estatales, nuestros teólogos exaltaron, por sobre cualquier otra fuente de poder fáctico, la potestad del vicario de Cristo, haciendo del discurso demonológico un espacio de debate político entre dos fuentes de autoridad en pugna (a pesar de sustentarse en el mismo fundamento -Dios-)
