{"title":"Schleiermacher’s Hermeneutics and the Myth of the Given","authors":"C. West","doi":"10.7916/D85T3W7W","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7916/D85T3W7W","url":null,"abstract":"Friedrich Schleiermacher is the father of modern philosophical hermeneutics. His Copernican Revolution in hermeneutics shifted the focus from understanding texts to the process of understanding itself. Instead of providing general rules for biblical and philological exegesis, he asked a more fundamental question: How is understanding pos­ sible? By separating the applicatory function of interpretation from the act of understanding, Schleiermacher created the new, independent domain of theoretical inquiry into the necessary and sufficient conditions for the possibility of understanding. In this essay, I shall argue that Schleiermacher's valiant attempt to provide an acceptable hermeneutical theory to overcome the distance between speakers and listeners, readers and authors is unsuccessful owing to his acceptance of The Myth of the Given. The Myth of the Given is a philosophical doctrine held most notably by Cartesian and Kantian thinkers. Its rests upon a particular view of langauge and the relation of language to con­ sciousness and awareness. I will try to show that The Myth of the Given is untenable by sketching three contemporary attacks on it-those of Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Lastly, I will suggest implications these attacks have for the fu­ ture of philosophy and theology. A.

Pereira","doi":"10.7916/D8RJ4HSD","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7916/D8RJ4HSD","url":null,"abstract":"I. Beauty in the Byzantine Tradition In Standing in God’s Holy Fire, a jewel of an introduction to the rich heritage of Byzantine spirituality, John Anthony McGuckin rightly affirms the centrality of beauty within the eastern Christian tradition. There is no other concept, McGuckin asserts, that “so summates the ethos or guiding cultural spirit of eastern Christianity as much as that perennial search for beauty which inspired and organised the Byzantine mystical quest.”1 The search for beauty, according to McGuckin, provides the vital organizing principle within the Byzantine tradition. The eastern Christian tradition in all its complexity and continuity, beginning with the likes of Origen of Alexandria, followed by the Cappadocian Fathers (Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Gregory of Nyssa), and up through Maximus the Confessor and Symeon the New Theologian, boasts of numerous mystical theologians who have composed writings filled with vivid descriptions of the soul’s ascent toward the beautiful. Beyond the above-mentioned bright luminaries and other notables of the eastern mystical tradition loom numerous lesser-known Byzantine theologians, who in consonance with their more highly touted counterparts, have consistently reflected upon the ultimate reality and importance of divine beauty.","PeriodicalId":83394,"journal":{"name":"Union Seminary quarterly review","volume":"14 1","pages":"51-61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71367723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In your theological imagination, I welcome you. I, Marcella, will be your guide for a few sentences. Here is the marketplace of Constitución, where my mother would buy chickens still warm. Do you see those stray dogs over there sleeping quietly in the door of the abandoned building? This is my barrio, San Telmo. Shall we sit for a few minutes over cortado? It is a good place to think – to think about postmodernism, liberation, the destruction of grand meta-narratives. The first few pages of Indecent Theology invite us into Marcella AlthuasReid’s world. She tantalizes our senses: sights, sounds, tastes, and smells. Bodies come to life. Places materialize. Histories swirl with their tangled and complicated interplay. Our eyes roam. We not only see women selling lemons in the marketplace; our journey continues under their skirts, into their baskets. We hover in the midst of their interactions. Women without underwear, whose musky smell mixes with the scent of lemons and market. Skirts lifted: exposed, smelled, seen by Althaus-Reid. Skirts lifted: exposed, smelled, seen by us.","PeriodicalId":83394,"journal":{"name":"Union Seminary quarterly review","volume":"64 1","pages":"66-72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71366165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Can Theatre be a Project of Liberation Theology?: Explorations in the Case of a Collaboration in Tanzania","authors":"Charles A. Gillespie","doi":"10.7916/D8DZ07NT","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7916/D8DZ07NT","url":null,"abstract":"In the summer of 2011, a contingent of graduate students and faculty sourced from Yale University’s Divinity School, School of Drama, and Institute of Sacred Music partnered with the Parapanda Theatre Arts Lab in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Building on the work of Augusto Boal, Parapanda has pioneered using participatory theatre as a means for social change. Their process creates provocative, non-traditional drama that attempts to give voice to instances of social injustice. Yale students joined Parapanda artists for an unprecedented international exchange exploring this unique possibility of theatre-making. An essential component of the Yale/Parapanda experiment tried to bring theatre for social change into conversation with liberation theology. Traditional coursework in Christian and Islamic liberation theologies intermingled with rehearsals and performances, but neither the final performances nor inter-company conversation extensively engaged religious questions. The failure to launch productive religious discourse as a part of the Yale/Parapanda experiment seems to name any theoretical connection “merely cosmetic.” In this paper, I will argue that the resonance between a theology of the oppressed and a theatre of the oppressed go deeper than surface-level similarities. Indeed, the Yale/Parapanda experiment reveals a symbiotic relationship between these disciplines even though discussing religious topics remained elusive and its final performances did not integrate religious content. I will show how participatory theatre reflects the methodology of liberation theology in action and that liberation theology provides a guide for theatre that seeks to combat oppression. In the spirit of liberation theology’s attention to contextual analysis, I will begin with Parapanda’s theatrical process and examples from the Yale/Parapanda experiment. I will then develop a brief theological account for what I believe to be one of the key principles for the success of theatre for social change—the creation of “spaces of freedom.” On these grounds, I will suggest a way to see how participatory theatre for social change, in its historical and dramatic activity, does liberation theology.","PeriodicalId":83394,"journal":{"name":"Union Seminary quarterly review","volume":"64 1","pages":"12-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71365856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
