Abstract

Blacks of the Rosary tells the story of the Afro-Brazilian communities that developed within lay religious brotherhoods dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary in Minas Gerais. It shows how these brotherhoods functioned as a social space in which Africans and their descendants could rebuild a communal identity based on a shared history of an African past and an ongoing devotional practice, thereby giving rise to enduring transnational cultures that have survived to the present day. In exploring this intersection of community, identity, and memory, the book probes the Portuguese and African contributions to the brotherhoods in Part One. Part Two traces the changes and continuities within the organizations from the early eighteenth century to the end of the Brazilian Empire, and the book concludes in Part Three with discussion of the twentieth-century brotherhoods and narratives of the participants in brotherhood festivals in the 1990s. In a larger sense, the book serves as a case study through which readers can examine the strategies that Afro-Brazilians used to create viable communities in order to confront the asymmetry of power inherent in the slave societies of the Americas and their economic and social marginalization in the twentieth century.

Abstract

For twenty-seven years, renowned and beloved monk Thomas Merton (1915-1968) belonged to Our Lady of Gethsemani, a Trappist monastery established in 1848 amid the hills and valleys near Bardstown, Kentucky. In Thomas Merton's Gethsemani, dramatic black-and-white photographs by Harry L. Hinkle and artful text by Merton scholar Monica Weis converge in a unique experience for lovers of Merton. Hinkle was allowed unprecedented access to many areas inside the monastery and on its grounds that are generally restricted. His photographs invite the reader to experience the various knobs, lakes, woods,

Abstract

Depuis plus de 1000 ans, le culte marial se maintient dans l'Europe du Nord-Ouest comme dans d'autres régions du monde. Ce constat d'une réalité sur la longue durée ne peut pas s'expliquer uniquement par des effets de mode, des circonstances favorables : il s'agit d'une réalité objective qui s'est construite sur des bases religieuses, politiques, culturelles en constante évolution et qu'une démarche scientifique et laïque peut tenter d'éclairer. Loin d'être une simple « superstructure » au regard des éléments fondamentaux que seraient la vie économique et les évolutions politiques, la croyance a été et demeure un paramètre personnel et collectif pour une grande partie de la population mondiale. Dans cette prise de conscience de l'importance du fait religieux, le culte rendu à la Vierge tient une place particulière qui demeure d'actualité : Lourdes, Fatima, Czestochowa vivent au rythme marial.Entre les hypothèses faisant état d'un déclin de la foi et celles qui, au contraire, remarquent, au travers du maintien de ce culte ancestral, une permanence du sentiment religieux, il y a incontestablement place pour construire un espace de recherche. Cet ouvrage tente de saisir ce phénomène de manière résolument plurielle et multidimensionnelle en évaluant les grandes périodes d'apogée et de crises dans l'histoire de cette dévotion mais aussi en s'attardant sur des pratiques particulières relevant de la micro-histoire. La pérennité d'un tel culte au long des générations traduit la solidité des fondements tout autant émotifs, affectifs que théologiques. Cependant, au fi l du temps se manifestent des périodes de reflux où s'expriment des contestations, des dénégations quelquefois engendrées par les excès d'une telle ferveur. Nés de manière quelquefois spontanée ou portés par des légendes, des traditions qui demandent à être revisitées, les cultes mariaux continuent d'intriguer les chercheurs tant par la vitalité et la variété de leurs manifestations que par le paradoxe du mélange de traditions et de modernité.

Abstract

Some fifty years before Chrétien de Troyes wrote what is probably the first and certainly the most influential story of the Holy Grail, images of the Virgin Mary with a simple but radiant bowl (called a "grail" in local dialect) appeared in churches in the Spanish Pyrenees. In this fascinating book, Joseph Goering explores the links between these sacred images and the origins of one of the West's most enduring legends. While tracing the early history of the grail, Goering looks back to the Pyrenean religious paintings and argues that they were the original inspiration of the grail legend. He explains how storytellers in northern France could have learned of these paintings and how the enigmatic "grail" in the hands of the Virgin came to form the centerpiece of a story about a knight in King Arthur's court. Part of the allure of the grail, Goering argues, was that neither Chrétien nor his audience knew exactly what it represented or why it was so important. And out of the attempts to answer those questions the literature of the Holy Grail was born.

Abstract

Texts centred on the mother of Jesus abound in religious traditions the world over, but thirteenth-century Old French lyric stands apart, both because of the enormous size of the Marian cult in thirteenth-century France and the lack of critical attention the genre has garnered from scholars.As hybrid texts, Old French Marian songs combine motifs from several genres and registers to articulate a devotional message. In this comprehensive and illuminating study, Daniel E. O?Sullivan examines the movement between secular and religious traditions in medieval culture that Old French religious song embodies. He demonstrates that Marian lyric was far more than a simple, mindless imitation of secular love song. On the contrary, Marian lyric participated in a dynamic interplay with the secular tradition that different composers shaped and reshaped in light of particular doctrinal and aesthetic concerns. It is a corpus that reveals itself to be far more malleable and supple than past readers have admitted.With an extensive index of musical and textual editions of dozens of songs, Marian Devotion in Thirteenth-Century French Lyric brings a heretofore neglected genre to light.
