  • The Passion of Christ on Television: Intertextuality As a Mode of Storytelling
    religions Article The Passion of Christ on Television: Intertextuality as a Mode of Storytelling Stefan Gärtner Department of Practical Theology and Religious Studies, Tilburg University, P.O. Box 90153, NL-5000 LE Tilburg, The Netherlands; [email protected] Received: 2 October 2020; Accepted: 9 November 2020; Published: 13 November 2020 Abstract: The Passion is a contemporary performance of the passion of Christ live on stage, combined with pop music, city marketing, social media, and entertainment. The result is an encounter between the Christian gospel and traditional elements of devotion like a procession of the cross on the one hand, and the typical mediatization and commercialization of late modern society on the other. In this article, I will first briefly describe the phenomenon, including the different effects that the event has upon the audience and the stakeholders and benefits it has for them. It is one characteristic of The Passion that it allows for a variety of possible approaches, and this is, at the same time, part of its formula for success. Another characteristic is the configured intertextuality between the sacred biblical text and secular pop songs. In the second section, I will interpret this as a central mode of storytelling in The Passion. It can evoke traditional, but also new, interpretations of the Christian gospel. The purpose of the article is to interpret The Passion as an expression of constructive public theology. It is an example of how the gospel is brought into dialogue with secular society. Keywords: passion play; The Netherlands; public theology; intertextuality; The Passion 1. Introducing The Passion The television program The Passion is an example of public theology.

  • Preston Bus Station: Heritage, Regeneration, and Resistance
    Preston Bus Station: Heritage, Regeneration, and Resistance Mark Toogood and Hannah Neate Dr Mark Toogood Dr Hannah Neate Geography, School of Built and Natural Geography, School of Built and Natural Environment, Environment, University of Central Lancashire University of Central Lancashire [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Since 2000 Preston Bus Station has twice been threatened with demolition as part of proposed regeneration schemes in the city. Both times there has been sustained public resistance against its destruction. Based on interviews and participant observation, the research on which this paper draws asked why a formerly unloved and unprotected example of Brutalist 1960s architecture has become a public icon. The paper identifies and explores the diverse range and significance of peoples’ articulations and actions — ranging from the local to global; from economic argument to affective and embodied interventions. These articulations are often non-expert, diffuse, expressed within social networks, as well as in inventive performative actions. Such activity has tacitly and productively blurred together forming an ‘assemblage’ of resistance. This assemblage of disparate agents represents a fresh public re-evaluation and democratisation of the building’s value, in addition to rejecting the building’s planned demise. More broadly we suggest that this ‘non-‘ or ‘tacit’ campaign also contests prevalent retail-led, investment-driven urban regeneration and articulates different possibilities for the Bus Station within Preston and its putative redevelopment. Key words Preston Bus Station; heritage; geography of architecture; iconic architecture 1 Introduction Use the term ‘icon Preston’ in a web search and the returns will include images dominated by photographs, predominantly in black and white, of the Brutalist horizontal lines of Preston Bus Station (hereafter PBS).

  • Title Preston Bus Station
    Title Preston Bus Station: architectural history, politics and democracy in a post-World War II designation saga Abstract This paper discusses the fifteen-year fight for the statutory heritage designation of the Central Bus Station and Car Park in Preston, Lancashire, England, a case that has become known internationally as a landmark of post-WWII heritage. It focuses on the role of democratic politics within architectural heritage by examining the opposing roles played by those holding official elected positions and by members of the general public engaging in direct democracy. The discussion elaborates on how research in architectural history took on an “insurgent” political role; supporting the formal expert position and managing by public participation to overturn official heritage policy. The paper situates the case study within the broader critical development of architectural history and heritage studies and argues that criticality has infiltrated practices in both areas and their interactions. It also argues that social and cultural practices in architectural heritage are ever-changing and that “democratic” approaches appear in various guises that require close scrutiny and constant updates. Although the geographical location of the building is outside the Asia-Pacific region, the issues dealt with here often relate to modern architecture around the globe. Introduction The Central Bus Station and Car Park in Preston, Lancashire, England, is a purpose-built complex completed in 1969, subsequently referred to as Preston Bus Station

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenGrey Repository The Production of Religious Broadcasting: The Case of the BBC Caitriona Noonan A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Centre for Cultural Policy Research Department of Theatre, Film and Television University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8QQ December 2008 © Caitriona Noonan, 2008 Abstract This thesis examines the way in which media professionals negotiate the occupational challenges related to television and radio production. It has used the subject of religion and its treatment within the BBC as a microcosm to unpack some of the dilemmas of contemporary broadcasting. In recent years religious programmes have evolved in both form and content leading to what some observers claim is a “renaissance” in religious broadcasting. However, any claims of a renaissance have to be balanced against the complex institutional and commercial constraints that challenge its long-term viability. This research finds that despite the BBC’s public commitment to covering a religious brief, producers in this style of programming are subject to many of the same competitive forces as those in other areas of production. Furthermore those producers who work in-house within the BBC’s Department of Religion and Ethics believe that in practice they are being increasingly undermined through the internal culture of the Corporation and the strategic decisions it has adopted. This is not an intentional snub by the BBC but a product of the pressure the Corporation finds itself under in an increasingly competitive broadcasting ecology, hence the removal of the protection once afforded to both the department and the output.
