In this paper, I build on the literary analysis of Fatemeh Keshavarz, who reads Farrokhzad's poetry as a form of \"sacred-making,\" to consider Farrokhzad's poetic act of naming the sacred as an epistemic act that models a means of redefining the sacred outside of traditional, patriarchal interpretations. I discuss the implications of the individual act of naming the sacred as a form of producing religious knowledge in relation to the ongoing theological discourse within Muslim communities and more importantly, as a way defining one's relationship to the sacred.","PeriodicalId":43443,"journal":{"name":"RELIGION & LITERATURE","volume":"50 1","pages":"23 - 46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78542940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The essay focuses on missionary interactions with traders and Pacific Islanders. By taking seriously religious characters, themes, and actions, it shows that Christian morality shapes daily and communal life in the imagined community of Falesá. In this way, the story can also be considered as Stevenson's meditation on how the social and cultural landscape of the Pacific had begun to shape his own complex religious thought.","PeriodicalId":43443,"journal":{"name":"RELIGION & LITERATURE","volume":"11 4","pages":"47 - 62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72589067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ein Mysterienspiel (Elijah: A Mystery Play), which was published in the year of his death, 1963, is probably the last work Buber produced. But despite the fact that in this bio-bibliographic sense the play holds a unique place in his corpus, the scholarship has not identified the work's importance and the full meaning of its appearance. This would not have been the case, had the play been read through literary categories, and above all through the category of genre. I argue that the play has a unique linkage with the Spanish tradition of the auto-sacramental, and exploring this linkage stands to facilitate a deeper understanding of the text and its relation to Buber's complete body of work and to central tenets of his thought.","PeriodicalId":43443,"journal":{"name":"RELIGION & LITERATURE","volume":"38 1","pages":"1 - 22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82265161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
