    Agape and Eros: a Critique of Nygren

    AGAPE AND EROS A. S. DEWDNEY O one can read Bishop Nygren's great work Agape and Eros without Ngratitude and much delight. This is one of those monumental works of which only a very few are produced in any generation and which help to clarify and mould the thinking of men everywhere. Agape and Eros are words which are here to stay in our theological vocabulary because they express the two great motifs underlying the more inclusive word "love". They enable us to distinguish these elements and to handle them with more precision and understanding of what they mean. All preachers and theologians have suffered in the past in attempting to clarify what is involved in the Christian idea of love, whether it is the love of God to man, of man to God, of man to his neighbour, or the meaning and place to be given to self-love. We now have a clear word for two aspects of what are commonly called love, and for this we must be forever indebted to Bishop Nygren's clear and searching analysis. He has helped us to resolve much of this ambiguity. Nygren distinguishes two types of love. One is the love of desire. It is the love which values and seeks to possess some good in its object. It is motivated by that good. We love that which is good, that is, that which is good for us. Such a love is self-centred. However lofty the object on which it places its love, essentially it sees that object as a good to be possessed.

    AGAPE LEARNING CENTRE Early Childhood Services We would like to welcome you and your child to our kindergarten and ECS (preschool) programs at Agape Learning Centre. We are looking forward to an exciting year of new experiences and lots of fun! It is during the first years of life that children form attitudes about themselves, others, learning, and the environment, so we work very hard to find ways to help children develop positive attitudes. Educating a child is most successful when families and schools work together in the best interest of the child; after all, you are your child’s first teacher! Parents are the most important teachers and play a central role in the lives of their children. When children begin ECS, parents and teachers form a partnership to support learning at home and at school. In school the values and beliefs of the home are acknowledged, and the cultural diversities of families are recognized. We appreciate your input and assistance in our program so please feel comfortable to come and join us in the classroom. The goal of our program is to meet your child’s needs not only intellectually, but also physically, socially, spiritually and emotionally. Going to school is one of the most important experiences in a child’s life. School can be an exciting place where children meet new and different people and participate in many new and different experiences. We promise to work diligently to provide the children with wonderful experiences that help them to feel good about themselves and their school. The ECS program is funded by the Department of Alberta Education.

    Vorträge im Rahmen der Tagung Medienamateure: Wie verändern Laien unsere visuelle Kultur? Internationale und interdisziplinäre Tagung der Universität Siegen Prof. Dr. Susanne Regener, 5.-7. Juni 2008 Alle Rechte liegen bei den Autorinnen und Autoren. Bei Verwendung bitte folgenden Quellennachweis angeben: „Vortrag im Rahmen der Tagung ›Medienamateure. Wie verändern Laien unsere visuelle Kultur?‹“ Universität Siegen 5.-7.6.2008, in: www.medienamateure.de Karin Bruns All by Myself Technologies of the Self in Porn Blogs and Web Forums In the pop song “All by Myself”, the American singer Eartha Kitt describes the pleasure felt in self-withdrawal as well as the dangers it brings.1 Since the song was first released in 1976 by Eric Carmen, it stands as a symbol for the ambivalent feelings arising from being famous, being a star, and loneliness.2 Again and again, Eartha Kitt sung “All by Myself”, adding variations and including passages with a seemingly very personal touch. The last time was in a New York revue theater, shortly before her seventieth birthday in 2008. The confession manifest in the lyrics of this version of the song and the related self-publishing of a star suffering under the pressure of publicity refer to the marginalized position of a female afro-American artist. The 1982 documentary film “All by Myself” (USA/D, director: Christian Blackwood) follows this interpretation. The refrain “I wanna be all by myself” is staged over and over again, and the film, just like at the close of the song, reverses it at the end (“don't wanna be all by myself anymore”).

  • When Tongzhi Marry: Experiments of Cooperative Marriage Between Lalas and Gay Men in Urban China

    When Tongzhi Marry: Experiments of Cooperative Marriage Between Lalas and Gay Men in Urban China

    winner of the 2018 Feminist studies Graduate Student award Stephanie YingYi Wang When Tongzhi Marry: Experiments of Cooperative Marriage between Lalas and Gay Men in Urban China Ang Lee’s fiLm The Wedding BanqueT could be classic introductory material for tongzhi studies and, particularly, for research on cooper- ative marriage.1 In the film, Wai-Tung, a Taiwanese landlord who lives happily with his American boyfriend Simon in New York, is troubled by his parents’ constant efforts to try and find him a bride. His partner Simon suggests he could arrange a marriage of convenience with Wai- Tung’s tenant Wei Wei who is from mainland China and is also in need of a green card to stay in the United States. However, their plan back- fires when Wai-Tung’s enthusiastic parents arrive in the United States and plan a big wedding banquet. As the film critic and scholar Chris 1. Tongzhi, literally “same purpose,” is the Chinese term for “comrade.” Since the 1990s, it has been appropriated to replace the more formal tóngxìnglìan (same-sex love) to refer to gay men and lalas (same-sex desiring women) in the Chinese-speaking world. The translation of xinghun as “cooperative marriage” is debatable, as xinghun literally means “pro-forma marriage.” In other works, “contract marriage,” “fake marriage,” or “pro-forma marriage” are used to refer to gay-lala marriage. Informed by Lucetta Kam’s work, I use “cooperative mar- riage” to highlight that such marriage is not merely functional without sus- tenance, but is contingent on the cooperation and negotiation between mul- tiple parties in the relationship, as my findings suggest.
