  • The Unveiling of Life : Liturgy and the Lure of Kitsch
    Original Research The unveiling of life: liTurgy and The lure of kiTsch Author: Johan Cilliers1 ABSTRACT This article probes the classic definition of religious aesthetics as related to the notions of beauty, Affiliation: goodness and truth. The phenomenon of kitsch, understood as simulation (or inversion) of 1Department of Practical beauty, goodness and truth, is taken cognisance of, especially in the light of contributions by Theology and Missiology, Milan Kundera, Umberto Eco and Jean Baudrillard. The article briefly reflects on the liturgical Stellenbosch University, consequences when kitsch manifests itself as simulated ‘beauty’, ‘goodness’ and ‘truth’ and South Africa concludes with some considerations regarding the characteristics of kitsch. Correspondence to: Johan Cilliers AESTHETICS: THE INTERPLAY OF BEAUTY, GOODNESS AND TRUTH? email: [email protected] The unique relationship between art and theology has been debated extensively, especially since the eighties of the previous century.1 In terms of liturgy it has been pointed out that factors such as the Postal address: anthropological basis of aesthetics (humans being created as being creative, having a neuro-cognitive Bon Chretien 16, capacity for imagination), the rediscovery of our bodileness, the upsurge of a culture of images and the Stellenbosch 7600, imaginative mode of biblical texts all call for a rediscovery of the aesthetical dimensions of worship. It South Africa could indeed be said that liturgy – theology – cannot, and should not, be undertaken without a sound understanding of aesthetics (cf. Cillers 2007:55–78). Keywords: theological aesthetics; It is, however, not that easy to describe or define aesthetics as such, just as it is difficult, if not impossible, simulation of beauty, to define art.

LAWRENCE’S PALETTE OF WORDS: A STUDY OF LAWRENCE’S AESTHETIC DELIGHT IN BEAUTY AND UGLINESS A Thesis submitted to the FaCulty oF the Graduate SChool oF Arts and SCienCes oF Georgetown University in partial FulFillment oF the requirements For the degree oF Master oF Arts in English By Erin Elizabeth DeSimone, B.A. Washington, DC March 25, 2016 Copyright 2016 by Erin Elizabeth DeSimone All Rights Reserved ii D.H. LAWRENCE’S PALETTE OF WORDS: A STUDY OF LAWRENCE’S AESTHETIC DELIGHT IN BEAUTY AND UGLINESS Erin Elizabeth DeSimone, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Rebecca Boylan, Ph.D. ABSTRACT In this thesis I illuminate a new reading of D.H. Lawrence through close-readings of the Hegelian dialectic of beauty and ugliness in his four novels: Sons and Lovers (1913), The Rainbow (1915), Women in Love (1920), and Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1928). I argue that D.H. Lawrence’s opposition to his contemporary art theorists allows his writing to incorporate painterly images and painterly moments that teeter between beauty and ugliness. Lawrence’s deliberate aesthetic of oscillation explores the Vitalism of human relationships. My study of Lawrence’s aesthetic contributes to current studies of beauty and ugliness; thus I pair my work with 21st century aestheticians to prove Lawrence’s relevancy. The best method to study Lawrence’s aesthetic of intertwined beauty and ugliness is through the language of his novels. In each novel, Lawrence repeats the words ‘beauty’, ‘ugly’, ‘ecstasy’, ‘abstraction’, and ‘quiver’. These words become the verbal brushstrokes of Lawrence’s novels and they enable Lawrence to explore the Vitalism of human relationships through the language of aesthetics.

Carrillo, MFA Faculty Advisor ______________________________________ J. Boehnlein, Ph.D. Faculty Reader ______________________________________ A. Slade, Ph.D. Faculty Reader ii © Copyright by Alanna Marie Gibson All rights reserved 2014 iii ABSTRACT SALOME: REVIVING THE DARK LADY Name: Gibson, Alanna Marie University of Dayton Advisor: Albino Carrillo, M.F.A. Salome: Reviving the Dark Lady is a rationale for an impending interdisciplinary reimagining of the literary Dark Lady for the early twenty-first century. The work comprises of poetry, dance, and film. This thesis recounts the history of beauty in the Early Modern Period and discusses the historical context of the Dark Lady to provide a frame for the journey of marginalized archetype into the twenty-first century. The choreopoem itself is built upon Salome, the character from Elizabeth Cary‟s1613 closet drama “The Tragedy of Mariam Fair Queen of Jewry.” The choreopoem contains transliterated soliloquies of the princess interspersed through original poems and prose inspired by works of spoken-word artist Andrea Gibson, twentieth-century Afro-Scandinavian author Nella Larsen, and various literary and cultural critics. iv Dedicated to Annsoupia, The Bad Bitch Brigade, and the Memory, Life, and Dreams of Joyce Carol Vincent (1 July 1965-2003) v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks to Al Carillo, Andy Slade, and James Boehnlein for reading.

  • Ugly Beauty: John Zorn and the Politics of Postmodern Music
    Kevin McNeilly- Ugly Beauty: John Zorn and the Politics of Postm... http://muse.jhu.edu.remote.libproxy.wlu.ca/journals/postmodern_cul... Ugly Beauty: John Zorn and the Politics of Postmodern Music Kevin McNeilly © 1995 PMC 5.2 1. I wish to look at a particular postmodern achievement, the music of composer John Zorn, in order to assess both the nature of a political praxis and to "define" the postmodern pragmatically, in the practice of art rather than only in theory. Zorn's music does something palpable to its listeners, or at least incites them to a form of action, of awakening; it activates the listener in a manner that a great deal of conventional and commercially-produced music, when it casts itself as soother or anaesthetic, does not. But Zorn achieves this affectivity, ironically, by exploiting and exploding both convention and commercial form. 2. Form itself, in so far as it is tied both to social production and aesthetic convention, provides a correlative for the dialectic of the social and aesthetic spheres, and thus offers an inroad into the problem of a postmodern praxis. Music, Jacques Attali asserts, manifests by its very nature as an "instrument of understanding," a "new theoretical form" (Noise 4). Music, that is, as Attali understands it, can provide a viable, fully realized conjunction of the theoretical and the practical, a form of theorizing which coincides with a formal practice.1 To grasp the practice of music, then, within a postmodern context, is in some sense to arrive at a theoretical position vis-a-vis the postmodern, especially--as the aesthetic delimitation of music as a sphere of cultural activity is broadened to encompass the theoretical--toward a decidedly political praxis (cf.

  • Ugly Beauty: Chaucer's Poetic Ecclesiology Britta B. Rowe Ivy
    Ugly Beauty: Chaucer’s Poetic Ecclesiology Britta B. Rowe Ivy, Virginia B.A., University of Virginia, 1990 M.A., University of Virginia, 2014 A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Virginia August, 2017 © Copyright by Britta B. Rowe All Rights Reserved August 2017 i Abstract Over the last several decades, the “religious turn” in Chaucer studies has opened up numerous avenues for analysis of Chaucer’s poetics without completely resolving questions about their specifically Christian character, or lack thereof. Approaches to answering such questions include biographical analysis, which in Chaucer’s case seems least likely to yield substantial conclusions: we simply don’t have enough biographical data to be confident that Chaucer held strongly to one, or another, or no version of Christian faith. Our limited sources of knowledge about Chaucer’s distinctly secular professional life certainly give us no basis for confident assertions about his own personal piety. Unlike his contemporary John Lydgate, for example, Chaucer was no monk. On the other hand, given the numerous, lively and vigorous forms of lay piety in Chaucer’s era, his lack of religious vocation and/or sacerdotal ordination is not per se a limiting factor on the possibility that his poetics is robustly Christian at a deep philosophical level. One important movement of lay piety, founded on protest against ecclesial corruption, was inspired in large part by the indignation and influence of another Chaucer contemporary, John Wyclif, and this movement has been the focus of a substantial body of scholarship over the last several decades.

Although we still have a healthy international readership, for some reason y'all don't want to join in. There's enough material in the archive already to fill a small book - 56 essays in a mix of six different languages - but there's a continental shelf of pinheads still out there, each one engraved with its own surprising detail.

  • Rae Lewis-Thornton and the Crafting of a Public Persona
    BLACK WOMEN, HIV/AIDS, AND THE MEDIA: COMMUNICATING AN EPIDEMIC IN THE HIP HOP ERA BY CAROLYN A. RANDOLPH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Paula Treichler, Director of Research and Chair Professor Isabel Molina-Guzmán Professor Ruth Nicole Brown Professor Aisha Durham, University of Southern Florida ABSTRACT This study examines the mediated representation of HIV/AIDS and blackness. Using black feminist thought, and its organizing principles— intersectionality and the matrix of domination—this analysis investigates how race, gender, class, and disease work in concert to inform media texts by and about black women living with the virus. Furthermore, this examination employs a textual analysis of the AIDS storyline on the black situation comedy Girlfriends, the AIDS character Ana Wallace in the HBO film Life Support, and the self- representation of Rae Lewis-Thornton on her personal health blog “Diva living with AIDS.” Each text generates alternative representations of HIV-positive black women that contest familiar stereotypes and clichés. Overall, this study helps scholars better understand the various meanings and definitions surrounding black women in the contemporary AIDS epidemic. Key words: HIV/AIDS, black women, media, popular culture ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS All praise belongs to God. Thank you to my committee: Paula Treichler (chair), Aisha Durham, Isabel Molina-Guzmán, and Ruth Nicole-Brown. Each is amazing and brilliant and loving in ways that make me and this dissertation better.
