Abstract

Cet ouvrage, considérable, monumental non pas tant par sa taille, que par la somme d’érudition et de savoir qu’il représente, l’ampleur de sa documentation et le très grand intérêt de son sujet, cet ouvrage est un événement.Jean Louis Schefer, écrivain, historien, critique d’art, philosophe, s’est engagé totalement dans cette recherche.Tout part de la célèbre prédelle de Paolo Uccello, Le Miracle de l’hostie (circa 1467) où l’on voit une hostie consacrée saigner à la suite du sacrilège qu’a commis sur elle un usurier juif à qui elle a été remise pour solder une dette. Jean Louis Schefer s’est interrogé sur la signification de cette réprésentation, ses origines, ses implications, sa postérité (jusqu’au mythe de Dracula, par exemple!). Elles mettent en cause la théologie, le rituel catholique à travers les sacrements, la monnaie (puisque l’agneau, par exemple a longtemps figuré sur les pièces frappées au Moyen-Âge et que la théorie monétaire de Moyen-Âge apparaît inséparable de l’évolution du signe sacré. Elles interrogent la fondation et la gestion morale des images dans notre culture. Elles démontent les mécanismes par lesquels s’est instauré le dogme de l’incarnation, de la transsubstantiation et aussi les stratégies d’accréditation qui s’en sont suivies (les miracles, les légendes).L’Hostie profanée, histoire d’une fiction théologique, abondamment illustré in texte et hors texte, contenant de nombreux documents légendaires, rituels ou doctrinaux pour la première fois traduits (du latin, de l’italien, de l’allemand) est un ouvrage irremplaçable pour la compréhension du monde occidental chrétien, notre monde.

Abstract

Blasphemy and other forms of blatant disrespect to religious beliefs have the capacity to create significant civil and even international unrest. Consequently, the sacrosanctity of religious dogmas and beliefs, stringent laws of repression and codes of moral and ethical propriety have compelled artists to live and create with occupational hazards like uncertain audience response, self-censorship and accusations of deliberate misinterpretation of cultural production looming over their heads. Yet, in recent years, issues surrounding the rights of minority cultures to recognition and respect have raised new questions about the contemporariness of the construct of blasphemy and sacrilege. Controversies over the aesthetic representation of the sacred, the exhibition of the sacred as art, and the public display of sacrilegious or blasphemous works have given rise to heated debates and have invited us to reflect on binaries like artistic and religious sensibilities, tolerance and philistinism, the sacred and the profane, deification and vilification. Endeavouring to move beyond ‘simplistic’ points about the rights to freedom of expression and sacrosanctity, this collection explores how differences between conceptions of the sacred can be negotiated. It recognises that blasphemy may be justified as a form of political criticism, as well as a sincere expression of spirituality. But it also recognises that within a pluralistic society, blasphemy in the arts can do an enormous amount of harm, as it may also impair relations within and between societies. This collection evolved out a two-day conference called ‘Negotiating the Sacred: Blasphemy and Sacrilege in the Arts’ held at the Centre for Cross Cultural Research at The Australian National University in November 2005. This is the second volume in a series of five conferences and edited collections on the theme ‘Negotiating the Sacred’. The first conference, ‘Negotiating the Sacred: Blasphemy and Sacrilege in a Multicultural Society’ was held at The Australian National University’s Centre for Cross-Cultural Research in 2004, and published as an edited collection by ANU E Press in 2006. Other conferences in the series have included Religion, Medicine and the Body (ANU, 2006), Tolerance, Education and the Curriculum (ANU, 2007), and Governing the Family (Monash University, 2008). Together, the series represents a major contribution to ongoing debates on the political demands arising from religious pluralism in multicultural societies.

Abstract

In post-Reformation Poland-the largest state in Europe and home to the largest Jewish population in the world-the Catholic Church suffered profound anxiety about its power after the Protestant threat. Magda Teter reveals how criminal law became a key tool in the manipulation of the meaning of the sacred and in the effort to legitimize Church authority. The mishandling of sacred symbols was transformed from a sin that could be absolved into a crime that resulted in harsh sentences of mutilation, hanging, decapitation, and, principally, burning at the stake.Teter casts new light on the most infamous type of sacrilege, the accusation against Jews for desecrating the eucharistic wafer. These sacrilege trials were part of a broader struggle over the meaning of the sacred and of sacred space at a time of religious and political uncertainty, with the eucharist at its center. But host desecration-defined in the law as sacrilege-went beyond anti-Jewish hatred to reflect Catholic-Protestant conflict, changing conditions of ecclesiastic authority and jurisdiction, and competition in the economic marketplace.Recounting dramatic stories of torture, trial, and punishment, this is the first book to consider the sacrilege accusations of the early modern period within the broader context of politics and common crime. Teter draws on previously unexamined trial records to bring out the real-life relationships among Catholics, Jews, and Protestants and challenges the commonly held view that following the Reformation, Poland was a "state without stakes"-uniquely a country without religious persecution.

Abstract

This volume chronicles not only a human corpse's physical state but also its legal and moral status, including what rights, if any, the corpse possesses. The author argues that a corpse maintains a "quasi-human status" granting it certain protected rights-both legal and moral. One of a corpse's purported rights is to have its predecessor's disposal choices upheld. This work reviews unconventional ways in which a person can extend a personal legacy via their corpse's role in medical education, scientific research, or tissue transplantation. The author outlines the limits that post-mortem "human dignity" poses upon disposal options, particularly the use of a cadaver or its parts in educational or artistic displays. Contemporary illustrations of these complex issues abound.
