  • The Hank Center for the Catholic Intellectual Heritage
    The Hank Center for the Catholic Intellectual Heritage October 2016 From the Desk of Fr. Mark Bosco, S.J. Dear Colleagues and Friends, This semester the Hank Center inaugurates a faculty seminar called All Things Ignatian: Catholic Intellectual Life and the Common Good. The purpose of this nine- course seminar is to engage our faculty more deeply in the interplay of faith, reason, and justice in light of the rich heritage of Catholic social thought. Led by fellow faculty who have shared commitments in studying the Jesuit tradition and the Catholic intellectual mission of the university, the seminar covers such issues as the history of Ignatius of Loyola and the Society of Jesus, Ignatian humanism, the relationship between Catholic faith and the arts and sciences, and issues of social and environmental justice. We hope this seminar enlivens our faculty to see their own contributions to this 450-year history of Jesuit higher education. Invitations for faculty to join the next seminar in the spring will be coming out shortly. The Hank Center moves in a decidedly literary direction with two exciting events this month. On October 12, the poet, critic, and biographer, Paul Mariani, joins us to teach a graduate seminar on the Jesuit poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, and offer a public lecture on the American poet Wallace Stevens. Mariani's new biography, The Whole Harmonium: The Life of Wallace Stevens (2016), has won great acclaim. And on October 20, Phil Klay, the Jesuit-educated war veteran and award-winning author of short stories, Redeployment (2015), offers his perspective on religious faith and modern warfare.

  • Jesuit Parish Report
    A Jesuit Response to Laudato Si’ A Survey of Parishes in the Maryland & USA Northeast Jesuit Provinces on Parish-Sponsored Pastoral Initiatives, Education Programs, Arts Initiatives, Activities and Collaborations Inspired by Laudato Si’ September 2016 Colorful strips of paper containing students' handwritten commitments to protect the environment form an “Earth Ball” at St. Ignatius Church, Boston. Prepared by: Kate Tromble, Holy Trinity Parish Fran Dubrowski, Director, and Farley Lord Smith, Outreach Advisor, Honoring the Future® Suzanne Noonan, Volunteer, Honoring the Future® & Holy Trinity parish With guidance and support from: Fr. Edward Quinnan, SJ, Assistant for Pastoral Ministries, and Nicholas Napolitano, Assistant for Social Ministries, Maryland and USA Northeast Jesuit Provinces Introduction In response to Pope Francis’ 2015 encyclical, Laudato Si’: On the Care of Our Common Home, many parishes have actively discerned ways to respond to climate change and engaged in a variety of climate justice activities in their communities. The Maryland and USA Northeast Provinces invited Jesuit parishes to share their activities, actions, and resources in order to inform and inspire others. In partnership with Honoring the Future®, a nonprofit project which harnesses the power of art to educate, empower, and engage the public on climate change, the Provinces then compiled the parishes’ responses in this report. This report organizes parish responses into five main categories: Pastoral Initiatives, Education Programs, Arts Initiatives, Activities and Collaborations. This report also provides recommended resources from national Catholic and nonprofit organizations. We hope to inspire all parishes to respond to Laudato Si’ in their own unique way, offering these tangible eXamples and eXtensive resources as a starting point.

  • Wordplay in William Carlos Williams's Poetry
    Connotations Vol. 14.1-3 (2004/2005) “These things astonish me beyond words”: Wordplay in William Carlos Williams’s Poetry MARGIT PETERFY —and I? […] whistle a contrapuntal melody to my own fugue!1 A poem is a capsule where we wrap up our punishable secrets.2 Wordplay, in terms of its reception, may be immediately obvious (because the reader expects it, or because it is clearly foregrounded as such in the text), or it may show its iridescent nature only on reread- ing, maybe with the help of additional information, in a moment of revelation. This revelation of something that is unsuspected qualifies in turn as a surprise. Unlike surprises in the real world, textual sur- prises are almost always pleasant, in that they tend to provoke an immediate, refreshing, almost somatic reaction; a moment of exhilara- tion, of discovery. So, when William Carlos Williams died in 1963, Denise Levertov wrote approvingly of his poetry: “One is forever coming across something new on pages one thought one had known long since.”3 Critical understanding of Williams’s work has explored many insightful directions since then, but there is still something new to come across. Although especially the early popular image of Wil- liams as a poet of ingenuous simplicity has been modified in recent decades,4 his recurring and systematic use of intricate and multivocal signification in the form of wordplay, mostly in puns, has, to my knowledge, not been documented so far.5 There seem to be three main reasons for critical insensitivity to puns and other kinds of wordplay in Williams’s work: (1) the suspicion that puns are, at best, a form of silly jokes, and, at worst, narcissistic, im- mature fabrications and vehicles of “pseudo-logic”;6 (2) the persistent notion of Williams as a poet whose passion is of the blood, not of the _______________ For debates inspired by this article, please check the Connotations website at <http://www.connotations.de/debpeterfy01413.htm>.

This October, we traveled to Rome with Jesuits from all over the world for the Society of Jesus’ 36th General Congregation (GC36). This historic meeting was the 36th time the global Society has come together since the first General Congregation in 1558, nearly two years after St. Ignatius died. General Congregations are always summoned upon the death or resignation of the Jesuits’ Superior General, and this year we came together to elect a Jesuit to succeed Fr. Adolfo Nicolás, SJ, who has faithfully served as Superior General since 2008. After prayerful consideration, we elected Fr. Arturo Sosa Abascal, SJ, a Jesuit priest from Venezuela. Father Sosa is warm, friendly, and down-to-earth, with a great sense of humor that puts people at ease. He has offered his many gifts to intellectual, educational, and social apostolates at all levels in service to the Gospel and the universal Church. One of his most impressive achievements came during his time as rector of la Universidad Católica del Táchira, where he helped the student body grow from 4,000 to 8,000 students and gave the university a strong social orientation to study border issues in Venezuela. The Jesuits in Venezuela have deep love and respect for Fr.

  • Writing Communities: Aesthetics, Politics, and Late Modernist Literary Consolidation
    WRITING COMMUNITIES: AESTHETICS, POLITICS, AND LATE MODERNIST LITERARY CONSOLIDATION by Elspeth Egerton Healey A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in the University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor John A. Whittier-Ferguson, Chair Associate Professor Kali A. K. Israel Associate Professor Joshua L. Miller Assistant Professor Andrea Patricia Zemgulys © Elspeth Egerton Healey _____________________________________________________________________________ 2008 Acknowledgements I have been incredibly fortunate throughout my graduate career to work closely with the amazing faculty of the University of Michigan Department of English. I am grateful to Marjorie Levinson, Martha Vicinus, and George Bornstein for their inspiring courses and probing questions, all of which were integral in setting this project in motion. The members of my dissertation committee have been phenomenal in their willingness to give of their time and advice. Kali Israel’s expertise in the constructed representations of (auto)biographical genres has proven an invaluable asset, as has her enthusiasm and her historian’s eye for detail. Beginning with her early mentorship in the Modernisms Reading Group, Andrea Zemgulys has offered a compelling model of both nuanced scholarship and intellectual generosity. Joshua Miller’s amazing ability to extract the radiant gist from still inchoate thought has meant that I always left our meetings with a renewed sense of purpose. I owe the greatest debt of gratitude to my dissertation chair, John Whittier-Ferguson. His incisive readings, astute guidance, and ready laugh have helped to sustain this project from beginning to end. The life of a graduate student can sometimes be measured by bowls of ramen noodles and hours of grading.
