  • Off the Pedestal, on the Stage: Animation and De-Animation in Art
    Off the Pedestal; On the Stage Animation and De-animation in Art and Theatre Aura Satz Slade School of Fine Art, University College, London PhD in Fine Art 2002 Abstract Whereas most genealogies of the puppet invariably conclude with robots and androids, this dissertation explores an alternative narrative. Here the inanimate object, first perceived either miraculously or idolatrously to come to life, is then observed as something that the live actor can aspire to, not necessarily the end-result of an ever evolving technological accomplishment. This research project examines a fundamental oscillation between the perception of inanimate images as coming alive, and the converse experience of human actors becoming inanimate images, whilst interrogating how this might articulate, substantiate or defy belief. Chapters i and 2 consider the literary documentation of objects miraculously coming to life, informed by the theology of incarnation and resurrection in Early Christianity, Byzantium and the Middle Ages. This includes examinations of icons, relics, incorrupt cadavers, and articulated crucifixes. Their use in ritual gradually leads on to the birth of a Christian theatre, its use of inanimate figures intermingling with live actors, and the practice of tableaux vivants, live human figures emulating the stillness of a statue. The remaining chapters focus on cultural phenomena that internalise the inanimate object’s immobility or strange movement quality. Chapter 3 studies secular tableaux vivants from the late eighteenth century onwards. Chapter 4 explores puppets-automata, with particular emphasis on Kempelen's Chess-player and the physical relation between object-manipulator and manipulated-object. The main emphasis is a choreographic one, on the ways in which live movement can translate into inanimate hardness, and how this form of movement can then be appropriated.

    SCIENCE & SPIRITUALITY Fabiana Crespo 9 Shanxi Road (N), Lane 8, The Riverside, Tower 2, Room 2202, Shanghai [email protected] Memory,Values, Light, Akasha, Love, Peace ABSTRACT How to consolidate all my experiences, and how can I explain it to make it yours? Since I was a child I went through several unique experiences that I could only start to understand a few years back: -The experience of being dead for a short while. -The experience of being one with nature. -The experience of meditation in many ways: Tao, Vipassana, Raja Yoga, Tracendental, Tantra,… -The experience of seeing a person in front of you that you feel is another you, you can see yourself on him/her. -The experience when you lose yourself in running. -The experience of Self-help group energy that gives answers. -The experience of this feeling deep inside my gut, that happened at the same moment a loved one died. -The experience of communicating with loved ones at the same time in different parts of the world. -The experience listening binaural and isochronic bits with a certain rhythm. -The experience of feeling pure and fluent “LOVE”. And many more experiences, that have been a lot. And the more I have the more I realize that everything goes to the same end: “ONENESS”, WE ARE ALL ONE. This project is about connecting Science and Spirituality. Although we still can’t explain everything about spirituality in a scientific way. Year after year we have more and more scientific answers for the spiritual phenomena. And not having still all of the answers, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.

Jan Swearingen Committee Members, Janet McCann Britt Mize Leah DeVun Head of Department, M. Jimmie Killingsworth August 2011 Major Subject: English iii ABSTRACT Commonplace Divinity: Feminine Topoi in the Rhetoric of Medieval Women Mystics. (August 2011) Christina Victoria Cedillo, B.A., Texas A&M University; M.A., Texas A&M International University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. C. Jan Swearingen This dissertation examines the works of five medieval women mystics— Hildegard of Bingen, Hadewijch of Brabant, Angela of Foligno, Birgitta of Sweden, and Julian of Norwich—to argue that these writers used feminine topoi, commonplace images of women symbolizing complex themes, to convey authority based on embodied experience that could not be claimed by their male associates. The lens used to study their works is rhetorical analysis informed by a feminist recuperative objective, one concerned with identifying effective rhetorical strategies useful to many women and men who have traditionally been denied speech, rather than with women‘s entrance into traditional rhetorical canons.

  • The Case of Judith Von Halle
    AURA: TIDSSKRIFT FOR AKADEMISKE STUDIER AV NYRELIGIØSITET Vol. 11, No. 1 (2020), 4–22 doi: https://doi.org/10.31265/aura.356 ALTERED STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND CHARISMATIC AUTHORITY: THE CASE OF JUDITH VON HALLE Olav Hammer University of Southern Denmark [email protected] Karen Swartz Åbo Akademi University [email protected] ABSTRACT Charisma is an unstable basis upon which to build authority. Charismatic lead­ ers need their followers to perceive them as being endowed with extraordinary, even supernatural, gifts. Detractors can in turn question whether the leader ac­ tually possesses these unique qualities. Using Judith von Halle and her conflicts with the Anthroposophical Society as a case study, we address the question of how charismatic authority can be constructed and deconstructed in polemical texts. At various points throughout her career, Von Halle has made extraordinary claims. She presents herself as being clairvoyant and as having received stigmata. An­ throposophists who believe these claims cite them as their reasons for regarding her doctrinal statements as being trustworthy. Skeptical Anthroposophists, on the other hand, question her experiences and motives. Using a theoretical framework inspired by Foucault and Bourdieu, we discuss how both camps discuss von Halle’s charismatic status in terms that are opaque to outsiders unfamiliar with Anthropo­ sophical discourse.
