Introducion Summary THE SACRED DOMAIN: A SEMIOTIC AND COGNITIVE ANALYSIS OF RELIGION AND MAGIC IN THE ANCIENT MEDITERRANEAN WORLD DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Adria Haluszka, M. A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Sarah Iles Johnston, Advisor Professor Fritz Graf Professor Carolina López-Ruiz Copyright by Adria Haluszka 2010 ABSTRACT Throughout the corpus of texts scholars have decided to call the Greek Magical Papyri (PGM), most simply defined as a ―recipe-book‖ for ancient magicians, there are many spells describing the manufacture and use of sacred images that, by the end of the ritual actions incorporated throughout the spell, become invested with essences and traits that are not necessarily ontologically apparent or natural. For example, there are statues invested with social agency that can perform all manner of fantastical feats. There are engraved rings that are ritually invested with great powers and come to be specifically described in terms of adjectives such as ―beneficent,‖ ― merciful,‖ ―sexually pleasing,‖ and so forth. This dissertation takes a close look at the specific ritual actions that allow for objects in the profane world – such as clay or stone, for example – being ascribed these kinds of powers and abilities. For this purpose, I use cognitive and semiotic frameworks to draw out deeper meanings, analyses, and typologies of ritual action. I use the PGM as my primary source, although part of the semiotic theory that I incorporate also involves looking at how these images fit into a wider conception of the portrayal of divine interaction in literature and iconography in the ancient world. A second important aspect of this dissertation is a closer look at the practitioner of magic himself as a figure who also has (or comes to ii have, through the course of the ritual action) an inner essence that bestows upon him special and divine powers. An essential contribution of semiotic domain theory to this topic is the manner in which it allows us to analyze the practitioner of magic as a ―specialist‖ thinker within the domain of religion. In this way the practitioner of magic can be compared to other ―specialists‖ who also create new content within the semiotic domain of religion, such as the figure of the poet. Both of these figures create new content, however one happens to create very marginalized content, in the form of magic, while the other creates what is commonly interpreted as more normal ―religious‖ content, in the form of epic and hymns about the gods. I use semiotic domain theory to offer an explanation as to why this is the case. How is it that the way magic ―works,‖ on semiotic and cognitive levels, especially, results in it being something specifically marginalized in terms of what defines religious action? The theories I present and the topics under discussion help to explain this, thus fitting my dissertation into the ever-present debate about the definitions of magic and religion. iii To my family, for their love. To my mother, for her spirit. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My interest in ancient religion began when I was an undergraduate at the Ohio State University and took an introductory mythology class with Sarah Iles Johnston. It was this class, and Sarah Johnston‘s enthusiasm for the subject material in particular, that sparked my determination to study Classics in an official manner, and thus began a journey that has led me to this dissertation. The seeds of this particular project were sown during a joint seminar between the Department of Art History and the Department of Greek and Latin, led by Fritz Graf and Mark Fullerton, that had as its topic Sacred Images. Thus what began as a seminar paper on sacred images in the Greek Magical Papyri, through the thoughtful insights and ever- present help of my instructors, developed into an article. The research and topics of this paper-turned-article ultimately provided the springboard to this dissertation. I am especially grateful to Sarah Iles Johnston for her feedback, patience, and inspiration both through this endeavor, and also through my entire graduate career. She has provided unyielding support and the best introduction to the study of religion a graduate student could ever hope for. I am also especially grateful to Fritz Graf for the astute insight that has never failed to challenge my assumptions and keep me thinking, as well as for the unswerving commitment to providing support and aid to graduate students like myself in his role as department chair. v I owe a debt of gratitude to many more: to Carolina López-Ruiz for reading drafts and providing both insight and support; to all of my professors at the Ohio State University for their thought-provoking teaching and moments of inspiration; to my fellow graduate students at OSU and elsewhere for their friendship and feedback; and to my own students of various Classics and Latin courses who have never failed to provide a reminder of why I love doing what I do. Most importantly, I am especially thankful to my friends and family, for their laughter, love, support and confidence. Last but certainly not least, my mother, who has taught me hard work and sincerity, to think and to dream without limits, and to push myself beyond what I thought possible. It is to them I dedicate this dissertation, a small gift for many received. vi VITA 2003…………………………………………………B.A. Ancient History and Classics, minor in Anthropology, The Ohio State University 2005…………………………………………………M.A. Greek and Latin, The Ohio State University 2002-Present…………………………………………Graduate Teaching Assistant, The Ohio State University PUBLICATION Haluszka, Adria. ―Sacred Signified: The Semiotics of Statues in the Greek Magical Papyri,” Arethusa 41.3, (2008) 479-494.

  • Black Orpheus, Myth and Ritual: a Morphological Reading*
    DOI 10.1007/s12138-008-0009-y Black Orpheus, Myth and Ritual: A Morphological Reading* HARDY FREDRICKSMEYER # Springer Science + Business Media B.V. 2008 Black Orpheus (Orfeu Negro; M. Camus, 1959) drew on classical myth and ritual to win the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and the Oscar for Best Foreign Film. Yet no one has analyzed the film with reference to its classical background. This paper argues that the film closely follows two narrative patterns (Separation-Liminality- Incorporation and the Heroic Journey) employed by the myth of Orpheus and Eury- dice, and related stories. This morphological approach reveals the cinematic Euridice as a “female adolescent initiand” whose loss of virginity and death are foreshadowed from her first scene. The film’s setting of Carnaval promotes Euridice’s adolescent ini- tiation as it duplicates ancient Greek Dionysian festivals. Orfeu emerges as not only a shamanistic hero, but also an associate of Apollo and, antithetically, an avatar of Diony- sus and substitute sacrifice for the god. Finally, the film not only replicates but also reinvents the ancient, rural and European myth of Orpheus and Eurydice by resituat- ing it in a modern city of the Africanized “New World.” A Stephanie, la compagna della mia vita lack Orpheus (Orfeu Negro; M. Camus, 1959) explodes on the screen as a Bsensual tour de force of color, music and dance, all framed by the rhapsodic beauty of Rio de Janeiro during Carnaval. Critical and popular admiration for these audio-visual qualities help to explain why Black Orpheus won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and the Oscar for Best Foreign Film, and why it remains one of the most successful films of all time with a Latin-Amer- * For their thoughtful comments on earlier versions of this essay, I would like to thank the editor of this journal, Wolfgang Haase, the anonymous referees, Erwin Cook, John Gibert, Ernst Fredricksmeyer, and Donald Wilkerson.

  • Orthodoxy and Heresy in Earliest Christianity
    ORTHODOXY AND HERESY IN EARLIEST CHRISTIANITY by Walter Bauer 1934 [Second German Edition by Georg Strecker] OPINIONS Walter Bauer’s Orthodoxy and Heresy has established itself as a classic refutation of the "myth" that "in the beginning" orthodoxy was there first and heresy was a deviation from the norm. Whatever one thinks of the thesis, one cannot bypass Bauer on early heresy any more that one can bypass Bultmann on Form Criticism or Harnack on the development of dogma. Today, it remains a good introduction to Christianity at the end of the first century and the beginning of the second century. Gerald Christianson Professor of Church History Gettysburg Lutheran Seminary This brilliant and pioneering monograph inaugurated a new era of scholarship in the study of the New Testament and Christian origins, especially in America. It argued that early Christianity did not begin with a unified orthodox belief, from which heresies broke off at a later time. Rather, Bauer demonstrated that diversity stood at the beginning, while an orthodox church emerged only after long controversies during the early centuries. During recent decades, the investigation of newly discovered texts, such as the Gnostic Library of Nag Hammadi in Egypt, have fully confirmed Bauer’s insights. There may be numerous details, which scholars today would see differently than Walter Bauer, whose word was first published in Germany sixty years ago. Nevertheless, Bauer’s book has remained the foundation for all modern scholarship in this field, and it is must- reading for all who want to explore early Christian Communities. It is still challenging, fresh, fascinating, and thought-provoking -- without any question of the truly great masterpieces of New Testament scholarship.

  • Fish Fingers and Custard Issue 2 Where Do You Go When All the Love Has Gone?
    Fish Fingers and Custard Issue 2 Where Do You Go When All The Love Has Gone? Those are lyrics that I have just made up. I’m sure you’ll agree that I’m up there with all the modern musical geniuses, such as Prince, Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton and Justin Bieber. But where am I going with this? I have an idea and it WILL make sense. Or so I hope… The beauty with Doctor Who is that even when the 13 weeks worth of episodes have gone, we don’t need to cry and mourn for its disappearance (or in my case – ran off without a word and never contacted me again). There are all sorts of commodities out there that we can lay our hands on and enjoy. (I’m starting to regret making this analogy now, as the drug-crazed aliens from Torchwood: Children of Earth would have been a better comparison!) The sheer size of Doctor Who fandom is incredibly huge and you’ll always be able to pick up something that’ll make you feel the way you do when you’re stuck in the middle of an episode. (This fanzine is akin to Love and Monsters than Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, to be honest!) Whether it be a magazine, book, DVD, audiobook, toy (they ARE toys btw), convention, podcast or even a fanzine, it’s all out there for us to explore and enjoy when a series ends, so we’ve no need to get upset and pine until Christmas! And wasn’t Series 5 (or whatever you want to call it) just superb? I can be quite smug here and say that I was never worried about Matt Smith nailing the role of The Doctor.
