The colloquium was organized by the Faculty of Theology of K.U.Leuven under the guidance of Prof. dr. G. Van Belle in cooperation with the Centre Interdisciplinaire d’Étude des Religions et de la Laïcité, Université Libre de Bruxelles, and L’Unité d’Exégèse Biblique, Université Catholique Louvain-la- Neuve. Participants, senior and rising scholars and students, came from Germany, Belgium, South Africa and the United States. The colloquium had a pleasant at- mosphere and ambiance. The speakers all supported reading the Gospel as a textual unity and histori- cally dependent on the Synoptic Gospels, though the question was never treated in detail. The papers were concerned more with literary, linguistic and thematic questions within the Fourth Gospel than with historical or theological issues. Par- ticular attention was also laid on the role of the reader and discussions were con- ducted on the relation between text, reader and author. I. THEME The central question of the colloquium that had been posed to the scholars pre- senting papers was: “How do you treat Repetitions and Variations in the Fourth Gospel from the perspective of your own research?” The background argument stated that repetitions, variations and amplifications represent the evangelist’s primary techniques for communicating with his readers. While these techniques as such were in widespread use in ancient culture, the Old Testament and in Jewish and early Christian literature, they are particularly promi- nent in John, and in the hands of the author, the application of these techniques becomes very creative. The frequent repetitions in the Gospel of John have been subject to a variety of explanations. Scholars have ascribed them to the author’s linguistic poverty; the style of an older man; numerical symbolism; the structural arrangement of the narrative; the text’s meditative disposition; a pedagogical aide-memoir; the text’s homiletic background; or the Gospel’s Christocentrism. There are thus several basic questions on the countless repetitions in the Fourth Gospel; and diverse ways in which the elusive language of the Fourth Gospel can be assessed. Complicated conclusions can be drawn from these obser- vations. Should the intensive repetition of words be seen as redundant or as im- pressive? Can a study of the repetitions indicate the textual and theological unity of the Fourth Gospel? How should the Gospel be read – as a literary work – as a theological treatise – as an exaltation of Jesus Christ? Or is it merely a product of an early Christian community? Is there more? Do we have a theoretical and sci- entific common understanding for assessing the style and language of the Fourth Gospel, and how it should be read? 9992_ETL2007/1_13_Chronicles 243 06-20-2007, 16:59 244 CHRONICLES II. PAPERS The resulting papers could be divided into three categories: 1. History of Interpretation and Methodology The envisaged colloquium wished to provide an account of previous research on style and language in the Fourth Gospel in relation to the most recent trends and thinking on the debate between philology and religion and the theory and as- sessment of style. For example, in the past the same characteristic had been deemed to be good and at other times as inferior. Gilbert VAN BELLE (Leuven) opened the colloquium with his lecture on Rep- etitions and Variations in the Fourth Gospel: A Neglected Field of Research? He concentrated on T. Popps’s doctoral dissertation on repetition, variation and am- plification1. In his contribution, G. Van Belle wished to determine “whether the repetitions and variations in the Fourth Gospel are indeed as important as Popp’s work would have us believe”. G. Van Belle “welcomed his study with great en- thusiasm as a ‘leading source for the Louvain research project on repetitions and variations’”, asking: “Are we correct, however, to describe the repetitions (and variations) as ‘a favourite Johannine stylistic feature’”? This question was fol- lowed by a second: “If so, what is their meaning for the interpretation of his Gospel?”.

  • Colonial Ideology, Colonial Sciences and Colonial Sociology in Belgium
    The American Sociologist (2020) 51:148–171 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12108-020-09455-z Colonial Ideology, Colonial Sciences and Colonial Sociology in Belgium Marc Poncelet1 Published online: 9 June 2020 # The Author(s) 2020 Abstract At the turn of the twentieth century, Belgian sociology and Belgian colonialism in Congo developed into a small political and academic elite that shared the same ideological stances. Colonialism played a more significant role. Colonization provided a new stage for emerging disciplines such as geography and sociology – which played their part in creating a brand new Belgo-African ethnology. Despite being a work in progress, sociology (which mainly involved jurists and lawyers) found a key place in the new institutional colonial sciences network. A colonial consensus was reached between Catholic and Liberal elites during the colonial crises and polemics that were also theoretical battles. Colonial sociology aspired to become the encyclopedic ethnol- ogy of the last African Terra incognita, as well as the government’smodernscienceof the indigenous people. Missionaries, colonial magistrates and administrators carried out field research. It gradually generates a significant output on the scale of the social sciences of the time. But it was more closely linked to the institutions of colonial power than to academic institutions. As colonial sociology partially freed itself from the colonial context during the 1950s, under the banner of professional ethnology, on the one hand, and the sociology of development on the other, it had to contend with a dramatic decolonization process. Quite rightly considered colonial sociology but not sociology of colonization, its success can, however, not be summed up in a single ideology.

  • Embodied Histories, Danced Religions, Performed Politics: Kongo Cultural Performance and the Production of History and Authority
    Embodied Histories, Danced Religions, Performed Politics: Kongo Cultural Performance and the Production of History and Authority by Yolanda Denise Covington A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in The University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Elisha P. Renne, Chair Associate Professor Kelly M. Askew Associate Professor Mbala D. Nkanga Assistant Professor Julius S. Scott III © Yolanda Denise Covington 2008 To my grandmother NeNe ii Acknowledgements When I look back on my experiences, it seems as if I was guided by some unseen hand. From my acceptance into the A Better Chance Program for high school, to my career switch from medicine to anthropology/Africana Studies at Brown University, to my trips to Panama, and finally to Congo while at the University of Michigan, I often felt as if my path was being determined by someone else and I was just traveling along it. Along the way, however, I met many wonderful people who have played crucial roles in my journey, and I have to thank them for getting me here. This dissertation is really a collaborative project, for I could not have completed it without the guidance and assistance of so many people. The first person I have to thank is my grandmother, who has inspired and encouraged from my days at C.E.S. 110X in the Bronx. She has always been supportive and continues to push me to reach my highest potential. I could not have reached this point without a great support system and wonderful dissertation committee.

However, its scope has been enlarged, in that general statements describing the salient features of undergraduate medical training in each country have also been included. No attempt has been made to draw firm conclusions or to make pro­ nouncements on medical education as a world-wide phenomenon. The descriptive accounts and factual material which make up this Directory may be considered as part of the raw data on which the reader can base his own independent analysis; they are intended to be no more than a general guide, and investigators in the subject of medical education should not expect to :find a complete report therein.

La educación colonial en el Congo, ¿una cuestión de pedagogía "acrítica" hasta el amargo Final? L’éducation coloniale au Congo – une question de pédagogie « non-critique» jusqu’à la fin? Marc Depaepe KULeuven@Kulak, Belgium ABSTRACT Our approach is a historical, and not a theoretical or a philosophical one. But such an approach might help in understanding the complexities and ambiguities of the pedagogical mentalities in the course of the twentieth century. As is usually the case in historical research, the groundwork must precede the formulation of hypotheses, let alone theories, about the nature of pedagogical practices. Therefore, since the 1990s, “we” (as a team) have been busy studying the history of education in the former Belgian Congo. Of course, since then we have not only closely monitored the theoretical and methodological developments in the field of colonial historiography, but have ourselves also contributed to that history. This article tries to give an overview of some of our analyses, concentrating on the question of to what extent the Belgian offensive of colonial (i.e. mainly Catholic) missionary education, which was almost exclusively targeted at “paternalism,” contributed to the development of a personal life, individual autonomy and/or emancipation of the native people. From the rear-view mirror of history we are, among other things, zooming in on the crucial 1950s, during which decade thoughts first turned to the education of a (very limited) “elite.” The thesis we are using in this respect is that the nature of the “mental space” of colonialism was such that it did not engender a very great widening of consciousness among the local population.

  • Educational Organisation in the Belgian Congo (1908-1958)
    When Congo Wants To Go To School – Educational Organisation In The Belgian Congo (1908-1958) Classroom rear view, Nsona Mbata (Matadi), 1920 Contexts The first part of this study will concentrate on the wider environment within which daily practice of colonial education is situated. It progresses in three stages in accordance with the aim of the research. Three chapters correspond with these three stages. The general, macro-institutional context of the phenomenon of colonial education is considered in the first chapter. This includes a discussion of the organisational development and politico-strategic factors that influenced this phenomenon. The development of the educational structures is indicated from the angle of the interaction between state intervention and the Catholic initiative. Within that framework the major themes in the content and emphasis of colonial lesson plans are also considered, as are the opinions on these subjects. Finally, figures are given to allow an estimate of the quantitative development of education in the colony. The second chapter shifts the focus to Belgium. The preparation, training, ideas and worldview with which the missionaries left for the Belgian Congo will be considered more closely. This chapter is divided into two parts. The first part considers a number of broad social and historical factors that played a part in the formation of the missionaries’ general intellectual baggage. Mainly results of existing research are presented and discussed in this part. The second part takes a closer look at the people who are of specific interest to us, covering the preparation and training given to the Sacred Heart Missionaries in Belgium and using specific source material.

Avant-propos Cette thèse est à la fois une histoire et une expérience. Elle est le reflet et le fruit d’un vécu personnel passé et présent. Son contenu renferme des réalités d’un contexte historique bien défini (aujourd’hui) et remarquées dans un environnement sociopolitique précis (les universités congolaises). Elle est le fruit d’une ouverture d’esprit associant le doute à la tolérance ainsi que la crainte à l’assurance. Mais elle est aussi, et surtout, le résultat d’un cheminement laborieux et émotif dans lequel plusieurs personnes ont joué un rôle crucial.

  • Centre-Periphery Relations in the Democratic Republic of Congo (1960-2006)
    Secessionism versus territorial unity: Centre-periphery relations in the Democratic Republic of Congo (1960-2006) by JOHN RENE KAMBA N’KIAMVU submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject POLITICS at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROF S BOTHA FEBRUARY 2016 SUMMARY The focus in this dissertation is on the rise of secessionism and its curtailment in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Theories pertaining to centre-periphery relations, as well as right- sizing the state, are used for this purpose. Factors such as the DRC’s vast territory and colonial policies affected the centre-periphery relations after independence. The weak ties between the centre and the peripheries were important factors in the attempts at secession that followed independence. In addition, the political and administrative centre (Kinshasa) was too weak to keep the restive peripheries in check. International military intervention, thus, played an important role in defeating attempts at secession. The strategies of President Mobutu in strengthening the centre, as well as the lack of secessionism in the DRC after the collapse of the centre towards the end of Mobutu’s presidency, receive attention. Key words: secession, territory, centre-periphery relations, right-sizing the state, internal colonialism, size of state, ethnicity, nation-building, foreign military intervention, Democratic Republic of Congo. i DECLARATION Name: JOHN RENE KAMBA N’KIAMVU Student number: 47248521 Degree: MA Exact wording of the title of the dissertation as appearing on the copies submitted for examination: Secessionism versus territorial unity: Centre-periphery relations in the Democratic Republic of Congo (1960-2006) I declare that the above dissertation is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references.
