This year, we engaged the community by inviting residents to submit photographs that celebrate Sharon to use as the cover of the report. Seventeen photos were submitted and town staff voted on their favorite photo. Many reported that it was a difficult decision! Special thanks go to local photographer and Sharon resident Steven Shostek for the beautiful cover photo, taken at Lake Massapoag during the July 4th festivities. Thank you to all who submitted so many wonderful and diverse photos! In Memoriam Cynthia J. Doherty 1956-2017 Louis A. Modestino, Jr. 1966-2017 We remember all those who served the Town and passed away during the past year. SHARON Town Elected/Appointed Officials & Staff 2017 1 Administrative Staff Frederic E.

  • Repression of Homosexuals Under Italian Fascism
    ªSore on the nation©s bodyº: Repression of homosexuals under Italian Fascism by Eszter Andits Submitted to Central European University History Department In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Constantin Iordachi Second Reader: Professor Miklós Lojkó CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2010 Statement of Copyright Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author. Copies by any process, may be made only in accordance with the instructions given by the Author and lodged in the Central European Library. Details may be obtained from the librarian. This page must form a part of any such copies made. Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may be not made with the written permission of the Author. CEU eTD Collection ii Abstract This thesis is written about Italian Fascism and its repression of homosexuality, drawing on primary sources of Italian legislation, archival data, and on the few existent (and in most of the cases fragmentary) secondary literatures on this puzzling and relatively under- represented topic. Despite the absence of proper criminal laws against homosexuality, the Fascist regime provided its authorities with the powers to realize their prejudices against homosexuals in action, which resulted in sending more hundreds of ªpederastsº to political or common confinement. Homosexuality which, during the Ventennio shifted from being ªonlyº immoral to being a real danger to the grandness of the race, was incompatible with the totalitarian Fascist plans of executing an ªanthropological revolutionºof the Italian population. Even if the homosexual repression grew simultaneously with the growing Italian sympathy towards Nazi Germany, this increased intolerance can not attributed only to the German influence.

  • Harkening to the Voices of the “Lost Ones”: Attending to The
    Harkening to the Voices of the “Lost Ones”: Attending to the Stories of Baptized Roman Catholics No Longer Participating in the Worship and Community Life of the Church by Bernardine Ketelaars A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the University of St. Michael’s College and the Toronto School of Theology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College and the University of Toronto ©Copyright by Bernardine Ketelaars 2015 Harkening to the Voices of the “Lost Ones”: Attending to the Stories of Baptized Roman Catholics No Longer Participating in the Worship and Community Life of the Church Bernardine Ketelaars Doctor of Ministry University of St. Michael’s College and the University of Toronto 2015 Abstract The phenomenon of the decline in church attendance and participation has been widely recognized and a source of concern for many mainline ecclesial communities over the past number of decades. In the Roman Catholic Church, this phenomenon seemed to become more apparent following the promulgation of the documents resulting from the Second Vatican Council. Harkening to the Voices of the Lost Ones invites the reader to enter into the experiences of baptized Roman Catholics who, for whatever reason, no longer participate in the worship and community life of the Roman Catholic Church. Not wanting to presume the reasons leading to this phenomenon, I believe that it is essential to listen attentively to the lived experiences if effective outreach ministry is going to be offered to those who have withdrawn from the Church.

Blanchard, B.A., MSt. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2018 ABSTRACT EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY FORERUNNERS OF VATICAN II: EARLY MODERN CATHOLIC REFORM AND THE SYNOD OF PISTOIA Shaun L. Blanchard Marquette University, 2018 This dissertation sheds further light on the nature of church reform and the roots of the Second Vatican Council (1962–65) through a study of eighteenth-century Catholic reformers who anticipated Vatican II. The most striking of these examples is the Synod of Pistoia (1786), the high-water mark of “late Jansenism.” Most of the reforms of the Synod were harshly condemned by Pope Pius VI in the Bull Auctorem fidei (1794), and late Jansenism was totally discredited in the increasingly ultramontane nineteenth-century Catholic Church. Nevertheless, many of the reforms implicit or explicit in the Pistoian agenda – such as an exaltation of the role of bishops, an emphasis on infallibility as a gift to the entire church, religious liberty, a simpler and more comprehensible liturgy that incorporates the vernacular, and the encouragement of lay Bible reading and Christocentric devotions – were officially promulgated at Vatican II.

    Between 2010 and 2014, Francis Alÿs traveled extensively to Afghanistan fol- lowing his invitation to participate in dOCUMENTA(13). This publication is a compilation of the films, paintings, drawings, collages, postcards, notebooks and other documents that make up his “Afghan Projects.” Like a storyboard or archive, their documentary yet narrative structure emerges like a travel journal with images and annotations. Including texts by Alÿs, dOCUMENTA FRANCIS ALŸS (13) curator Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, and several of the artist’s main col- FRANCIS ALŸS REEL-UNREEL laborators, it offers rare insights into a country in transition, so often misrep- resented in the media, as well as a nuanced debate about the relevance of contemporary art in the context of war. Alÿs’s engagement with Afghanistan has continued past the opening of dOCUMENTA (13)—in Spring 2013, he served as embedded war artist with UK’s Task Force Helmand, and the Afghan Projects continue to occupy an important part of his practice. This publication accompanies the exhibition Francis Alÿs: REEL-UNREEL at Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Donnaregina-Madre (14 June - 22 Septem- ber 2014) and Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle (10 October 2014 - 11 January 2015). List of contributors: Francis Alÿs, Fabio Cavallucci, REEL-UNREEL Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Mariam Ghani, Ewa Gorza˛dek, Ajmal Maiwandi, Amanullah Mojadidi, Robert Slifkin, Michael Taussig, Mario Garcia Torres, and Andrea Viliani. Tra il 2010 e il 2014, dopo aver accettato l’invito a partecipare a dOCUMENTA (13), Francis Alÿs ha viaggiato a lungo in Afghanistan. In questo libro sono raccolti i film, i dipinti, i disegni, i collage, le cartoline e i taccuini che compongono i suoi Afghan Projects.

LG13-73 4th EMES International Research Conference on Social Enterprise - Liege, 2013 Interuniversity Attraction Pole (IAP) on Social Enterprise (SOCENT) 2012-2017 and © Loredana Picciotto ( [email protected] ) 2013. EMES-SOCENT Conference Selected Papers are available on the EMES website (www.emes.net ) and on the SOCENT website ( www.iap-socent.be ). These papers do not undergo any editing process. They are published with the support of the Belgian Science Policy Office, within an Interuniversity Attraction Pole (IAP) on social enterprise entitled “If not for profit, for what? And how?”. 1. INTRODUCTION In the 1980s and 1990s new entrepreneurial dynamics emerged in the third sector as response to the challenges of modern socio-economic context. Indeed, social enterprises arose primarily in response to social needs not adequately met, or not met at all, by public services or for profit enterprises (Borzaga and Defourny, 2001). That is because they provide goods and services which the market or public sector is unwilling or unable to provide. In the European context, the process of institutionalization of social enterprises has often been closely linked to the evolution of public policies, especially considering the structural unemployment and the need to reduce state budget deficits (Defourny, Nyssens, 2010). In this sense, the entrepreneurship policy has been characterized by measures that promote the transition from unemployment to self-employment, used as a tool to actively intervene in the labor market (Román et al., 2013).
