    religions Article Liturgy and Landscape—Re-Activating Christian Funeral Rites through Adaptive Reuse of a Rural Church and Its Surroundings as a Columbarium and Urn Cemetery Samuel Goyvaerts 1,* and Nikolaas Vande Keere 2,* 1 Department of Systematic Theology and Philosophy, Tilburg School of Catholic Theology, Tilburg University, 90153 Tilburg, The Netherlands 2 Faculty of Architecture and Arts, Hasselt University, 3500 Hasselt, Belgium * Correspondence: [email protected] (S.G.); [email protected] (N.V.K.) Received: 29 June 2020; Accepted: 17 July 2020; Published: 7 August 2020 Abstract: We present the design research for the adaptive reuse of the St. Odulphus church as a columbarium in the village of Booienhoven (BE). Surrounded by agriculture, the site is listed as a historic rural landscape. The small neoclassical church is no longer in use for traditional Catholic services and is abandoned. Positioned on an isolated “island”, it has the appropriate setting to become a place to remember and part from the dead. Instigated by the municipality, and taking into account the growing demand for cremation, we present topological research on three different liturgical and spatial levels: 1/the use of the church interior as a columbarium and for (funeral) celebration, 2/the transformation of the “island”, stressing the idea of “passage” and 3/the layering of the open landscape reactivating the well-spring and its spiritual origins. Based on the reform of the funeral rite after Vatican II, we propose a layered liturgy that can better suit the wide variety of funeral services in Flanders today, while at the same time respecting its Catholic roots.

Inleiding. 1.1 Bij het opstellen van een typologie van talen in een meertalige situatie, wordt meestal veel belang gehecht aan de officiële status van die talen. Gaat het om talen die in een bepaald land officieel erkend zijn, dan maakt men meestal een onderscheid tussen talen die op het hele grondgebied als officiële ambtstaal worden erkend (bv. Nederlands en Frans in België; Duits, Frans en Italiaans in Zwitserland) en talen die een dergelijke officiële status slechts in een deel van het land genieten. In het laatste geval heeft men het over ‘regionaal officiële’ talen en voorbeelden daarvan zijn Duits in België, Rhetoromaans in Zwitserland of Fries in Nederland. Het ambtelijke gebruik ervan is dus beperkt tot een officieel afgebakend gebied. Hoewel status en gebruik van dergelijke talen van land tot land nogal wat kunnen verschillen zijn ze er bijna altijd veel beter aan toe dan de zogenaamde minderheidstalen. In het laatste geval hebben we het over talen die door (een deel van de) inwoners van een bepaald gebied worden gebruikt (meestal samen met een andere), maar die geen enkele officiële erkenning genieten en meestal ook op geen enkele vorm van officiële bescherming kunnen rekenen.

Na 15 jaar trouwe dienst wordt de VHM in de loop van 2006 omgevormd tot de VMSW, de Vlaamse Maatschappij voor Sociaal Wonen. Dat gebeurt in het kader van de grootscheepse Vlaamse overheidsreorgani- satie. 2005 is allerminst een ‘uitboljaar’ geweest. Zoals u verder kunt lezen, werden talrijke initiatieven opge- start en mogen we de cijfers en realisaties bijzonder geslaagd noemen. De rode draad doorheen heel 2005 was de ondersteuning die de VHM bood bij verschillende beleidsvoorbe- reidende projecten. Dat gebeurde steeds in nauwe samenwerking met het kabinet en de sector. Het onderzoek naar een nieuw financieringssysteem, het ontwerp van een nieuw overdrachtenbesluit en de uitwerking van het kaderbesluit sociale huur betreffen de voornaamste dossiers. Deze projecten - die al tot degelijke tussentijdse resultaten hebben geleid - gaan in 2006 verder richting eindmeet.

  • Government Ideology, Economic Pressure, and Risk Privatization How Economic Worldviews Shape Social Policy Choices in Times of Crisis
    CHANGING WELFARE STATES Horn Economic Pressure, and Risk Privatization Ideology, Government Alexander Horn Government Ideology, Economic Pressure, and Risk Privatization How Economic Worldviews Shape Social Policy Choices in Times of Crisis Amsterdam University Press Government Ideology, Economic Pressure, and Risk Privatization Amsterdam University Press Changing Welfare States For quite some time, a key finding and theoretical puzzle in comparative welfare state research was welfare states’ remarkable stability. In the last decade, however, it has become clear that advanced welfare states were (far) less immovable than they seemed at first. In fact, speaking of changing welfare states captures much better the actual reforms that were taking place. This series is about the trajectories of those changes. Have there been path-breaking welfare innovations or are the changes incremental instead? Are welfare states moving in a similar or even convergent direction, or are they embarking on divergent trajectories of change? What new policies have been added, by which kind of political actors, how, and with what consequences for competitiveness, employment, income equality and poverty, gender relations, human capital formation, or fiscal sustainability? What is the role of the European Union in shaping national welfare state reform? This series answers these and related questions by studying the socioeconomic, institutional and political conditions for welfare state change, its governance, and its outcomes across a diverse set of policy areas. The policy areas can address traditional “old” social risks like old age, unemployment, sickness (including the health care system), disability and poverty and inequality in general, or “new” social risks that have arisen mainly due to post-industrialization, such as reconciling work and family life, non-standard employment, and low and inadequate skills.

  • The Place of Marxism in History - 1
    The Place of Marxism in History - 1 The general historical context To understand Marxism, we must first set it in its historical context. We must understand when it was born and how it arose. We must explain its emergence and development by the interaction of social forces: their economic nature, their material interests, their ideology, the people who formulated their aspirations. In other words, we must apply the materialist interpretation of history to Marxism itself: not consider its appearance as a matter of course, but understand that it requires an explanation, and try to provide one. Furthermore determining the place of Marxism in history will enable us to outline more precisely its content and historical importance. In the last analysis, Marxism is the product of the appearance of the capitalist mode of production in certain regions of Western Europe (Northern and Central Italy, the Netherlands, England, and parts of France, Germany, Bohemia and Catalonia) beginning in the 15th and 16th centuries and leading to the emergence of a new bourgeois society that gradually came to dominate all spheres of human activity. The capitalist mode of production is based on private ownership of the major means of production and subsistence (implements, land, food) by capitalists, that is, owners of large sums of money. The latter use part of their capital to buy the labour power of another social class, the proletariat, which is compelled to sell them its labour power because it no longer has access to the means of production from which it could produce its subsistence. This antagonistic relation between Capital and Wage Labour accompanies the generalisation of commodity production (the transformation of the means of production and labour power into commodities) and is at the core of the new mode of production.
