  • Hidden Lives: Asceticism and Interiority in the Late Reformation, 1650-1745
    Hidden Lives: Asceticism and Interiority in the Late Reformation, 1650-1745 By Timothy Cotton Wright A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Jonathan Sheehan, chair Professor Ethan Shagan Professor Niklaus Largier Summer 2018 Abstract Hidden Lives: Asceticism and Interiority in the Late Reformation, 1650-1745 By Timothy Cotton Wright Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Jonathan Sheehan, Chair This dissertation explores a unique religious awakening among early modern Protestants whose primary feature was a revival of ascetic, monastic practices a century after the early Reformers condemned such practices. By the early seventeenth-century, a widespread dissatisfaction can be discerned among many awakened Protestants at the suppression of the monastic life and a new interest in reintroducing ascetic practices like celibacy, poverty, and solitary withdrawal to Protestant devotion. The introduction and chapter one explain how the absence of monasticism as an institutionally sanctioned means to express intensified holiness posed a problem to many Protestants. Large numbers of dissenters fled the mainstream Protestant religions—along with what they viewed as an increasingly materialistic, urbanized world—to seek new ways to experience God through lives of seclusion and ascetic self-deprival. In the following chapters, I show how this ascetic impulse drove the formation of new religious communities, transatlantic migration, and gave birth to new attitudes and practices toward sexuality and gender among Protestants. The study consists of four case studies, each examining a different non-conformist community that experimented with ascetic ritual and monasticism.

  • LE SYMBOLISME EN EUROPE (1880-1914) Michèle-Ann PILLET Au Royaume Du Temps, Le 19E Siècle Eut Le Privilège D'élargir
    LE SYMBOLISME EN EUROPE (1880-1914) Michèle-Ann PILLET Au royaume du temps, le 19e siècle eut le privilège d’élargir l’horizon de l’avenir au gré des innovations techniques et scientifiques mais également au fil des redécouvertes du passé. Revêtue de lointains, la préhistoire se présentait escortée de silex et de peintures pariétales. La Mésopotamie, après un long sommeil de sable, révélait en cunéiformes combien la pensée grecque et la pensée hébraïque lui étaient redevables. D’élégants hiéroglyphes apportaient en offrandes les secrets de l’Egypte. Le jour, avec courtoisie, relevait de sa lumière les cités de la Grèce et de la Rome antiques. Le Moyen-âge, voilé d’imaginaire, reprenait sa place en majesté après des siècles de mépris. Et les musées s’inventaient… Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis Cependant, le témoignage diapré de la valeur du passé comme garant d’avenir, donné par un groupe de poètes et d’artistes, devait offrir à ce siècle un crépuscule d’or fané effleuré par le pourpre d’un souffle créateur. En affirmant leur appartenance au Symbolisme, ils se référaient ainsi à une ère originelle. Baudelaire et Wagner furent les figures tutélaires de cet élan. Aussi ancien que l’apparition de l’homme sur la terre, le symbolisme est une disposition universelle de l’esprit qui a présidé à l’invention du langage lorsque l’homme a souhaité représenter par un son, une image ou un objet les éléments de la réalité qui l’entouraient. Ceci lui a permis de faire exister ces éléments hors du champ visuel et d’établir des liens 1 avec l’univers.

    The Old Testament Fast Forward Production Notes: The portions of the script that follow provide a companion guide to The Old Testament Fast Forward, giving additional production details and suggestions for staging. In the original production, the performers “acted out” the lines of verse narration throughout the musical with choreographed movement. That movement is described below. Another option for staging the play is to use projection screens with a program like Power Point, and illustrate the verse narrations and other sections of the musical with fast changing slides. Notes for Page 7: (At the end of “God’s Word,” the accompanist can replay the last few measures of the song as the cast move to new positions. On stage left, ADAM stands in front of a box with his back to the audience. EVE stands behind the box, also facing upstage. Two other actors stand with their backs to the audience on either side of the box. On stage right, a group of seven actors stand, backs to audience. The rest of the CAST move upstage and sit, taking themselves out of the focus. Following the music, we hear four percussion clicks and then a snare brush rhythm begins. Throughout the show, the NARRATORS recite their verse lines to this rhythm freely, with a bit of syncopation.) VERSE NARRATION 1: NARRATOR 1: In the beginning, God creates, Six days working, (Six of the actors on stage right flip to face the audience and pose as though digging.) seventh waits. (The seventh actor on stage right flips to the audience and poses, looking at his watch.) NARRATOR 2: In God’s image, man is made, (ADAM turns quickly to face the audience.) Set to rest in Eden’s shade.
