Witness is presence : reading Stanley Hauerwas in a Nordic setting

I en postsekulär situation har förutsättningarna för att förstå och kommunicera en kristen tradition förändrats. De etablerade religionerna kan inte längre anta att de har monopol på den ”religiösa marknaden”. Ett centralt påstående i denna studie är att en postsekulär situation, som kännetecknas av minskande medlemskap i etablerade kyrkor och en ny synlighet av alternativa religiösa uttryck, medför ett behov av att reflektera över alternativa förståelser av kristenheten i sin kontext. Denna studie frågar hur man kan meningsfullt kommunicera en kristen tradition i en postsekulär situation. Traditionellt uttryckt: hur kan man förstå kristet vittnesbörd i vår situation? Det är till denna problematik som denna studie hävdar att Stanley Hauerwas ecklesiologi tillför ett viktigt perspektiv. Hauerwas ses som ett kritiskt korrektiv till vissa synsätt som ofta möter hos Nordiska, i denna studie främst finska och svenska, lutherska teologer. Det perspektiv som utvecklas i denna studie anses vara relevant eftersom kristna kyrkor i en postsekulär situation inte längre kan anta en makt- eller majoritetsposition. Därmed uppstår ett behov av att fråga sig hur man kan förstå kristenhet som en gemenskap i en minoritetsposition som bär vittnesbörd utan samhällelig makt. Denna studie hävdar att förkroppsligande av kristna övertygelser intar en central roll i en meningsfull postsekulär förståelse av vittnesbörd.

Memory mixed with desire : a preliminary study of philosophy and literature in the works of Friedrich Nietzsche and Milan Kundera

Memory Mixed with Desire: A preliminary study of Philosophy and Literature in the works of Friedrich Nietzsche and Milan Kundera Robert Spinelli Brock University, Department of Philosophy This thesis studies intertextuality in the works of Friedrich Nietzsche and Milan Kundera through the primary themes of memory and forgetting. The thesis starts with two introductory chapters that delineate memory according to Nietzsche and Kundera respectively. From here, I move into a discussion of Nietzsche's Ubermensch as an example of the type of forgetting that Nietzsche sees as a cure for the overabundance of memory that has led to Christian morality. Next, I explore the Kunderan concept of kitsch as the polar opposite of what Nietzsche has sought in his philosophy, finishing the chapter by tying the two thinkers together in a Kunderan critique of Nietzsche. The thesis ends with a chapter devoted to the Eternal Return beginning with an exegesis of Nietzsche's idea and ending with a similar exegesis of Kundera's treatment of this thought. What I suggest in this chapter is that the Eternal Return might itself be a form of kitsch even in its attempt to revalue existence.
