Abstract

Les ambiguïtés de la mystique ont été soulignées plus d'une fois. Expérience réservée à un petit nombre, ou voie accessible à tous ? Voie d'union à Dieu ou dissolution de l'humain dans le divin ? Identité ou différence entre la connaissance et l'amour ? Excès pathologiques des corps et des esprits, ou subversion des normes et des contraintes sociales ? Naïveté religieuse dans le siècle, ou nette lucidité sur ce qui se joue parmi les hommes et dans les sociétés ? Rappelons donc ces mots de Michel de Certeau : « Comme le sphinx de jadis, la mystique reste le rendez-vous d'une énigme. On la situe sans la classer ». Les études rassemblées dans le présent recueil envisagent ainsi quelques situations de la mystique, et tentent de dégager un rapport pertinent à entretenir avec elle aujourd'hui. Un coup d'œil sur la table des matières suffit pour percevoir la diversité des approches retenues, montrant qu'on ne procède pas par définitions a priori, ni par synthèse supposée assimilable par la théologie. Incontestablement, les mystiques, femmes et hommes, sont là. Dans l'histoire, jusqu'aujourd'hui, leur désir insiste, suscitant des langages et des pratiques indissociables d'une culture et d'une société, mais sans qu'on puisse jamais les réduire à un besoin religieux préalablement défini. Les figures mystiques évoquées dans ce recueil, de Dag Hammarskjöld à Michel de Certeau, de Marguerite Porete à Lalla Maghnia ou Thérèse de Lisieux, laissent chacune transparaître quelque chose qui, dans leur existence singulière, tient à la fois de l'excès et du manque, de la liberté et de la passion. La question que nous renvoient ces mystiques n'est autre que celle de l'amour, lieu imprenable, ni ici ni là, où paradoxalement l'excès et le manque, la liberté et la passion ont rendez-vous. On remarquera que ce sont les sciences dites humaines qui ne négligent pas la mystique, par-delà les conflits qui ont pu les opposer à la théologie dans son étude. En outre, on observera que…

Abstract

Acute Melancholia and Other Essays deploys spirited and progressive approaches to the study of Christian mysticism and the philosophy of religion. Ideal for novices and experienced scholars alike, the volume makes a forceful case for thinking about religion as both belief and practice, in which traditions marked by change are passed down through generations, laying the groundwork for their own critique. Through a provocative integration of medieval sources and texts by Jacques Derrida, Judith Butler, Talal Asad, and Dipesh Chakrabarty, this book redefines what it means to engage critically with history and those embedded within it.

Abstract

For the medieval mystical tradition, the Christian soul meets God in a 'cloud of unknowing', a divine darkness of ignorance. This meeting with God is beyond all knowing and beyond all experiencing. Mysticisms of the modern period, on the contrary, place 'mystical experience' at the centre, and contemporary readers are inclined to misunderstand the medieval tradition in 'experientialist' terms. Denys Turner argues that the distinctiveness and contemporary relevance of medieval mysticism lies precisely in its rejection of 'mystical experience', and locates the mystical firmly within the grasp of the ordinary and the everyday. The argument covers some central authorities in the period from Augustine to John of the Cross.

Abstract

‘Quid est sacramentum?’ Visual Representation of Sacred Mysteries in Early Modern Europe, 1400–1700 investigates how sacred mysteries (in Latin, sacramenta or mysteria) were visualized in a wide range of media, including illustrated religious literature such as catechisms, prayerbooks, meditative treatises, and emblem books, produced in Italy, France, and the Low Countries between ca. 1500 and 1700. The contributors ask why the mysteries of faith and, in particular, sacramental mysteries were construed as amenable to processes of representation and figuration, and why the resultant images were thought capable of engaging mortal eyes, minds, and hearts. Mysteries by their very nature appeal to the spirit, rather than to sense or reason, since they operate beyond the limitations of the human faculties; and yet, the visual and literary arts served as vehicles for the dissemination of these mysteries and for prompting reflection upon them.
