Demonic Bodies and the Dark Ecologies of Early Christian Culture (eBook, PDF)

Drawing insights from gender studies and the environmental humanities, Demonic Bodies and the Dark Ecologies of Early Christian Culture analyzes how ancient Christians constructed the Christian body through its relations to demonic adversaries. Through case studies of New Testament texts, Gnostic treatises, and early Christian church fathers (e.g., Ignatius of Antioch, Clement of Alexandria, and Tertullian of Carthage), Travis W. Proctor notes that early followers of Jesus construed the demonic body in diverse and sometimes contradictory ways, as both embodied and bodiless, "fattened" and ethereal, heavenly and earthbound. Across this diversity of portrayals, however, demons consistently functioned as personifications of "deviant" bodily practices such as "magical" rituals, immoral sexual acts, gluttony, and pagan religious practices. This demonization served an exclusionary function whereby Christian writers marginalized fringe Christian groups by linking their ritual activities to demonic modes of (dis)embodiment. The tandem construction of demonic and human corporeality demonstrates how Christian authors constructed the bodies that inhabited their cosmos--human, demon, and otherwise--as part of overlapping networks or "ecosystems" of humanity and nonhumanity. Through this approach, Proctor provides not only a more accurate representation of the bodies of ancient Christians, but also new resources for reimagining the enlivened ecosystems that surround and intersect with our modern ideas of "self."

Name und Erinnerung (eBook, PDF)

Ausgehend von einer Trauerfeier für sogenannte "Sternenkinder" wird der anthropologische Entwurf Helmuth Plessners als Grundlage eines relationalen Personalitätskonzepts interpretiert. Ergänzt wird diese Perspektive durch die Konzeptionen Hartmut Rosas und Thomas Fuchs', die die menschliche Leiblichkeit zu einem zentralen Phänomen des Personseins und des humanen Weltumgangs erheben. In theologischer Perspektive wird der Umgang mit dem Tod anhand der Ansätze Tillichs, Jüngels, Pannenbergs und Ebelings beleuchtet, bevor anhand der hermeneutischen Einsichten Hans Blumenbergs und Vladimir Jankélévitchs die metaphorische Sprache als ein wesentlicher Faktor im Umgang mit der Bewältigung der Todesproblematik ausgewiesen wird. Erweitert werden diese Perspektiven durch eine ritualtheoretische Reflexion. [Name and Memory: Anthropological and Theological Perspectives on Personality and Death] Starting with a funeral service for so-called "angel babies" (Sternenkinder) this study uses Helmuth Plessner's anthropological concept as the interpretative category for a relational concept of personality. This perspective is supplemented by the intellectual concepts of Hartmut Rosa and Thomas Fuchs who both elevate human corporeality to a central interpretative phenomenon of being a person and dealing with the human world. From a theological perspective, coming to terms with the phenomenon of death is examined based on the approaches of Paul Tillich, Eberhardt Jüngel, Wolfhart Pannenberg, and Gerhard Ebeling. Following a close reading of the respective concepts it emerges in discussion with the hermeneutical concepts of Hans Blumenberg and Vladimir Jankélévitch that metaphorical language represents an essential factor in dealing with the problem of death. This perspective is broadened by a reflection anchored in ritual theory.
