Graduate Session: Presentation 3 - Dietrich Bonhoeffer’S Necessary Shattering Of The Wheel, Hannah O'Brien

Life of the Scholar Multidisciplinary Conference

An exploration of Bonhoeffer's theological ethics as it relates to his participation in a resistance conspiracy that aimed to assassinate Adolf Hitler and other Nazi leaders. Many categorize him as a pacifist, but is this true? I argue that Bonhoeffer's theological reasoning should be viewed in terms of Bonhoeffer's idea of "responsible action." With this in mind, one can assume that in his specific situation Bonhoeffer saw his involvement in this conspiracy as a decision that may not be justified, but necessary.

The Mass Is The Medium: Marshall Mcluhan And Roman Catholic Liturgical Change, Ashil D. Manohar

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The liturgical changes of Vatican II sought to bring a period of renewal to the Catholic laity by encouraging active participation and making the Mass more simple to understand. However, the time after the Council was characterized by confusion and disengagement by the laity. I will be discussing three significant changes to the liturgy at this time, The change from Latin to the vernacular, the change in the orientation of the altar and priest, and the change in acoustics, sound, and music. I will be examining all of these changes through the media theory of Marshall McLuhan, famous for coining …

Infectious Ideas: Why Do Radical Innovations Take Root?, Steven Pfaff

Sociology Faculty Articles and Research

"Living in the midst of a pandemic, we have all become familiar with the idea of contagion. An epidemic spreads through exposure to an infectious agent, like a novel virus. In a basic contagion model, the spread of a disease is a function of contact with the agent and its degree of infectiousness. Epidemiologists often model the risk of contagion as a function of contact (or frequency or level of contact) with the infected and the agent’s virulence.

When it comes to triggering radical institutional change, do ideas work the same way?

In a recent article, a team of …
