Aler SAINT OF THE DAY – SAINT FABIOLA Fabiola was a Roman woman who was born in the Fourth Century. She was a determined and independent woman of considerable material wealth. When she was fed up with her husband’s unfaithfulness, she got a civil divorce from him, which was not difficult under Roman law. She married again. Her second husband died, a er which she submied to Church law, did penance, and was readmied to the communion of the faithful by Pope Siricius. A er that, Fabiola devoted her great wealth to works of charity. She gave large sums of money to churches and communies in Italy and nearby islands and founded a hospital for the sick, whom she gathered from the streets and alleys of Rome, waing on them herself. In the year 395 Fabiola went with her a relave Oceanus to Jerusalem to visit Saint Jerome. While there she stayed with two other Saints, Saint Paula and her daughter Saint Eustochium. Eventually she returned to Rome, and again involved herself in works of charity, including founding another hospital. She was about to sail on a boat back to the Holy Land when she died, in the year 399. It is said that all of Rome came to her funeral. Saint Fabiola, pray for us!

  • Francis Alÿs and the (Re)Presentation of St. Fabiola
    Religion and the Arts 18 (2014) 269–289 RELIGION and the ARTS brill.com/rart Contingency and Faithfulness: Francis Alÿs and the (Re)Presentation of St. Fabiola Jonathan A. Anderson Biola University Abstract As a European emigrant to (and now longtime resident of) Mexico City, contemporary artist Francis Alÿs is deeply sensitive to the ways that cultural systems shape and orga- nize human lives. Over two decades, his work has become deftly efficient at instigat- ing subtle social interferences that highlight and reconsider these organizing systems. Although much has been written about the social and political force of these interfer- ences, the literature on Alÿs’s work has generally ignored the significant religious con- tent and allusions recurring throughout his artistic practice. This essay is a critical med- itation on the religious implications of his Fabiola project, a collection of more than 370 handmade copies of a lost nineteenth-century painting of a fourth-century Christian saint named Fabiola. By paying special attention to the ways that these “handmade readymades” ennoble the voices of others and revise the possible meanings of visual repetition (particularly in the context of mechanical mass-reproduction), this essay argues that Alÿs’s Fabiola is not only a profound study of cultural transmission but one that is particularly resonant with the Christianity that formed St. Fabiola’s own life and the forms by which she has been remembered. Keywords Francis Alÿs – Fabiola – religion – Christianity I Disruptions Though Belgian by birth and upbringing, contemporary artist Francis Alÿs (1959–) has become more strongly associated with Mexico City, where he has lived and worked since 1986.

  • A Baptist Missionary Nurse and Her Symbiotic Relationship with Ndyuka Medicine
    ISSN 1653-2244 INSTITUTIONEN FÖR KULTURANTROPOLOGI OCH ETNOLOGI DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY AND ETHNOLOGY “It’s two things mixed together!” A Baptist missionary nurse and her symbiotic relationship with Ndyuka medicine By Maarten van der Bent 2017 MASTERUPPSATSER I KULTURANTROPOLOGI Nr 68 “It’s two things mixed together!” A Baptist missionary nurse and her symbiotic relationship with Ndyuka medicine A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts December 2016 A master’s thesis by Maarten van der Bent Uppsala University Department of Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology Supervisor: Jan-Åke Alvarsson — i — Abstract This thesis analyses the interaction between missionary medicine and Ndyuka medicine from the perspective of a Baptist missionary nurse operating a clinic in the village of Lantiwei in Suriname. Based on two months of anthropological fieldwork conducted in the summer of 2014, this thesis argues that in her everyday practice of medicine, the Baptist nurse is dependent on the cooperation of a local Ndyuka healer and his family to such an extent that their working together can be regarded as a social form of symbiosis. This thesis furthermore demonstrates that the Baptist nurse has incorporated Ndyuka ideas to her understanding of illness and death, and that even though she continues to abhor and reject the practice of Ndyuka medicine as a form of devil worship, she recognizes its spiritual powers. Taken together, these findings show that an opposition between missionary medicine as a—perhaps unwitting—agent of modernity and local Ndyuka medicine as a ‘traditional’ form of medicine increasingly superseded by ‘modern’ medicine, is fictitious, and that the lack of scholarly attention to the interaction of missionary medicine with local practices of medicine demontrates anthropology’s obsession with the ‘traditional’ ‘Other’.
