    "Accidental Intellectuals": LOST Fandom and Everyday Philosophy Author: Abigail Letak Persistent link: http://hdl.handle.net/2345/2615 This work is posted on eScholarship@BC, Boston College University Libraries. Boston College Electronic Thesis or Dissertation, 2012 Copyright is held by the author, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise noted. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! This thesis is dedicated to everyone who has ever been obsessed with a television show. Everyone who knows that adrenaline rush you get when you just can’t stop watching. Here’s to finding yourself laughing and crying along with the characters. But most importantly, here’s to shows that give us a break from the day-to-day milieu and allow us to think about the profound, important questions of life. May many shows give us this opportunity as Lost has. Acknowledgements First and foremost I would like to thank my parents, Steve and Jody, for their love and support as I pursued my area of interest. Without them, I would not find myself where I am now. I would like to thank my advisor, Juliet Schor, for her immense help and patience as I embarked on combining my personal interests with my academic pursuits. Her guidance in methodology, searching the literature, and general theory proved invaluable to the completion of my project. I would like to thank everyone else who has provided support for me throughout the process of this project—my friends, my professors, and the Presidential Scholars Program. I’d like to thank Professor Susan Michalczyk for her unending support and for believing in me even before I embarked on my four years at Boston College, and for being the one to initially point me in the direction of sociology.

  • The Coming of the Cosmic Christ Thirty Years Ago, and the Response Over the Years Has Been Striking
    Oneing AN ALTERNATIVE ORTHODOXY Further Reflections on the Cosmic or Universal Christ By Matthew Fox wrote my book The Coming of the Cosmic Christ thirty years ago, and the response over the years has been striking. Many people have told me that the book kept them in the church and both Ideconstructed and reconstructed their Christian faith. Fr. Thomas Berry (1914–2009), a true eco-prophet of our time, called the book “a classic,” and his teaching that ecology is “functional cosmology” dem- onstrates the profound connection between the Cosmic or Universal Christ and the way out of the ecological apocalypse that stares us in the face at this time. More recently, I co-authored a book with Episcopal Bishop Marc Andrus called Stations of the Cosmic Christ. This book, along with its set of meditation cards, is an attempt to create a practice of the Cosmic The Universal ChrisT 1 Christ that incarnates the theology more bodily and more immediately into our consciousness. It also offers a balance to the traditional prac- tice of Stations of the Cross which, while powerful and useful over the past thousand years or so, is very narrow in its scope, concentrating as it does on the last twenty hours of Jesus’ life—which were indeed very lugubrious. Yet he taught and lived so much more than those last hours, lived in the hands of the Roman Empire! Why did he get in such trouble in the first place? For one thing, he got in trouble for teaching about compassion and, therefore, the Cosmic or Universal Christ.
