The Witness Of Dorothy Day And The Future Of Liberation Theology, Maria Clara Lucchetti Bingemer 2013 Pontificia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro

The Witness Of Dorothy Day And The Future Of Liberation Theology, Maria Clara Lucchetti Bingemer

Diálogo

A study around the concepts of “witness” and “testimony,” in the fields of Philosophy and Theology, as exemplified by the life work of Dorothy Day.

Examples are provided of Dorothy Day’s observations on the agricultural workers strike and César Chávez, as well as various socio-political movements in Latin American countries. Also detailed and compared, are the early and later efforts under Liberation Theology, for its Church influences and dictates, …

Vatos Sagrados: Cursillo And A Midwestern Catholic Borderlands, Adrian Bautista 2013 Oberlin College/Bowling Green State University

Vatos Sagrados: Cursillo And A Midwestern Catholic Borderlands, Adrian Bautista

Diálogo

This article uses a gendered religious borderlands perspective to analyze the Cursillo experiences of Latino Catholic deacons in the Diocese of Cleveland (OH) and the Diocese of Toledo (OH), who trace their family histories to Texas, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. By considering experiences of religious ecstasy, male social bonding, and spiritual activism as a result of Cursillo participation, this article attempts to provide insights into the complex relationships among gender, race, and religion. Joining other recent scholars who have conducted intellectual inquiries toward gendered borderlands literature, my drawing, based on semi-structured interviews and archival research, attempts to demonstrate the significance …

Writing The Visual In "Baroni: Un Viaje" And Other Recent Work By Sergio Chejfec, Margaret Carson 2013 CUNY Graduate Center

Writing The Visual In "Baroni: Un Viaje" And Other Recent Work By Sergio Chejfec, Margaret Carson

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This dissertation has three parts. First, I explore the ways in which word intersects with image in several recent texts by the contemporary Argentine writer Sergio Chejfec, whose oeuvre is replete with verbal descriptions of visual artifacts. Second, as a complement to the critical essay, I present my English translation of Chejfec's Baroni: un viaje (2007), a novel featuring the Venezuelan artist Rafaela Baroni, whose extraordinary wood carvings of Virgins, saints and other figures are described in key passages. Third, as a bridge between these two parts, I reflect on the related critical discourses of ekphrasis and translation and on …

[Introduction To] Aprendices, Fabriqueras Y Obreros: El Trabajo Industrial En La Narrativa Argentina Del Siglo Xx (1930-2007), Karina Elizabeth Vázquez

Bookshelf

El tema central de este libro es la relación entre trabajo, literatura y cultura tal como ésta aparece representada en las figuraciones literarias del trabajo industrial. No obstante, la propuesta analítica de la autora va más allá de los aspectos narratológicos de los textos estudiados e indaga el conjunto de discursos socioculturales y políticos sobre la historia argentina de los últimos setenta años con los cuales los discursos literarios y críticos han estado en continuo diálogo. Las experiencias de ascenso social, el ingreso masivo de las mujeres al mercado de trabajo, la incorporación de los asalariados al escenario político, el …
