  • The Sensuous in the Counter-Reformation Church Edited by Marcia B
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-01323-0 - The Sensuous in the Counter-Reformation Church Edited by Marcia B. Hall and Tracy E. Cooper Frontmatter More information THE SENSUOUS IN THE COUNTER-REFORMATION CHURCH This book examines the promotion of the sensuous as part of religious experience in the Roman Catholic Church of the early modern period. During the Counter-Reformation, every aspect of religious and devotional practice, including the role of art and architecture, was reviewed and the invocation of the fi ve senses to incite devotion became a hotly contested topic. Protestants condemned the material cult of veneration of relics and images, rejecting the importance of emotion and the senses and instead promoting the power of rea- son in receiving the Word of God. After much debate, the Church concluded that the senses are necessary to appreciate the sublime and that they derive from the Holy Spirit. As part of its attempt to win back the faithful, the Church embraced the sensuous and promoted the use of images, relics, liturgy, proces- sions, music, and theater as important parts of religious experience. Marcia B. Hall is The Carnell Professor of Renaissance Art History and Dir- ector of Graduate Studies at Tyler School of Art, Temple University. She is the author and editor of several books, including The Sacred Image in the Age of Art: Titian, Tintoretto, Barocci, El Greco, Caravaggio ; After Raphael ; and Renovation and Counter Reformation: Vasari and Duke Cosimo in Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce, 1564–77 .

The chal- lenges call for energy transitions: changes that concern entire energy systems, not just some of their parts. These changes are structural, as they modify the way energy provision is organized at the level of society. They are radical, since they may demand abandoning existing technolo- gies even if they still work. And the changes are fundamental, because they require that we start thinking in novel ways about energy, its provi- sion, and how a good and just society is organized around energy. Transitions do not only pose technological challenges, but involve enor- mous social, political and economic changes as well. Changes concern market relations, social and institutional roles and responsibilities, and the emergence of new actors. Most policy documents and future visions focus on economic, geo- political and technological changes. Insofar as social processes are con- cerned, they are discussed at an aggregate and undifferentiated way: as a human factor, which is at best the receiver of policies and econom- ic transactions, and at worst a resid- ual category containing the overflows of economic and technological interven- tions.
