Lives As Revelatory Texts: Constructing a Spiritual Biography of Arleen Mccarty Hynes, O.S.B THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Lives as Revelatory Texts: Constructing a Spiritual Biography of Arleen McCarty Hynes, O.S.B. A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Elizabeth Leibold McCloskey Washington, DC 2014 Lives as Revelatory Texts: Constructing a Spiritual Biography of Arleen McCarty Hynes, O.S.B. Elizabeth L. McCloskey Doctor of Philosophy Director: Raymond Studzinski, Ph.D. Throughout Christian history, hagiographical works were written as instruments for the adulation and emulation of spiritual exemplars, or saints. At their most effective, these literary pieces had transformative value for their readers. Modern methods of scholarship led understandably to a more critical stance toward these hagiographic materials, casting doubt on their historical accuracy and spiritual value. However, Edith Wyschogrod in her 1990 work, Saints and Postmodernism: Revisioning Moral Philosophy, cautions against letting the pendulum swing too far in the direction of historicizing a saint’s life while neglecting the divine-human transformation that may have occurred there. Kees Waaijman in his 2002 work Spirituality: Forms, Foundations, Methods provides a scientific framework which takes seriously the dialogic nature of spiritual experience. Spiritual biography utilizes what Waaijman calls form-descriptive research tools from the fields of history, the social sciences, literary criticism and theology and employs them in mystagogic research to study the transformative divine-human relational process in an individual life. This study introduces and exemplifies the genre of spiritual biography as an update to pre-scientific hagiography that nonetheless treats individual lives as revelatory texts. Arleen McCarty Hynes (1916-2006) is an apt subject for a spiritual biography. Her life’s work as a wife, mother, lay Catholic leader, political activist, bibliotherapist and Benedictine sister was rooted in an underlying belief in the transformative power of the texts of Scripture, poetry and story. Arleen and her husband, Emerson Hynes, were Benedictine oblates of St. John’s Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota, where Emerson taught ethics and they raised their ten children according to The Rule of St. Benedict. They moved to Washington to work with Senator Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota. After the early death of her husband, Arleen Hynes helped launch the field of bibliotherapy as a librarian at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, DC, and then returned to Minnesota to become a Benedictine sister. Her letters, journals, interviews and published pieces suggest the revelatory role of text in her personal and professional life, especially during times of change. Her life narrative serves here as a case study of the genre of spiritual biography as revelatory text. This dissertation by Elizabeth Leibold McCloskey fulfills the dissertation requirement for the doctoral degree in Spirituality approved by Raymond Studzinski, Ph.D., as Director and by Joseph Komonchak, Ph.D., and William Dinges, Ph.D. as Readers.

And before it started to descend from the height of noon, it leaned over and struck my shoulder as if with the flat of a sword, granting me honor and a task. The day's blow rang out, metallic – or it was I, a bell awakened, and what I heard was my whole self saying and singing what it knew: I can. ~ Denise Levertov1~ This poem, one that Arleen Hynes used in her bibliotherapy work, captures my experience of writing this dissertation. So many days I was rewarded in my search for the perfect sun-splashed window at the libraries at Catholic University and Marymount University and at the kitchen tables at Bryce and in Falls Church. I was generously given original sources and consistent encouragement by the Hynes family, and so many opportunities by my family and by CUA to retreat into the research and writing that I felt it my honor and my task to do. Everyone has been unbelievably patient with me and supportive as I have done this work, and that patience was borne most gallantly by Peter, Brian, Collin and Nora who I am sure noticed that the more I wrote, the more forgetful and prone to distraction I became in daily living. Arleen’s spiritual friendships in Arlington were with a group of women who have been 1 Denise Levertov, Breathing the Water (New York: New Directions, 1987), 3. vii among my own spiritual mothers, most especially Dolores Leckey, and each of them has supported my work through prayer and genuine interest. The Hynes family has not only made themselves available to me for conversations in person, over the phone and in emails and letters, but they have also honored me by including me in family gatherings at Patrick and Mary’s house in Arlington, and by putting me in the category of extended family by dubbing me a “Hynes- Chooser.” Mary Hynes-Berry has welcomed me several times to her Chicago home, giving me access to every bit of material she has and allowing me to take a whole suitcase of original letters home with me.

  • Subjectivity in American Popular Metal: Contemporary Gothic, the Body, the Grotesque, and the Child
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Glasgow Theses Service Subjectivity In American Popular Metal: Contemporary Gothic, The Body, The Grotesque, and The Child. Sara Ann Thomas MA (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts University of Glasgow January 2009 © Sara Thomas 2009 Abstract This thesis examines the subject in Popular American Metal music and culture during the period 1994-2004, concentrating on key artists of the period: Korn, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Tura Satana and My Ruin. Starting from the premise that the subject is consistently portrayed as being at a time of crisis, the thesis draws on textual analysis as an under appreciated approach to popular music, supplemented by theories of stardom in order to examine subjectivity. The study is situated in the context of the growing area of the contemporary gothic, and produces a model of subjectivity specific to this period: the contemporary gothic subject. This model is then used throughout to explore recurrent themes and richly symbolic elements of the music and culture: the body, pain and violence, the grotesque and the monstrous, and the figure of the child, representing a usage of the contemporary gothic that has not previously been attempted. Attention is also paid throughout to the specific late capitalist American cultural context in which the work of these artists is situated, and gives attention to the contradictions inherent in a musical form which is couched in commodity culture but which is highly invested in notions of the ‘Alternative’. In the first chapter I propose the model of the contemporary gothic subject for application to the work of Popular Metal artists of the period, drawing on established theories of the contemporary gothic and Michel Foucault’s theory of confession.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

  • CD Review: Able Thought’S Serene in Limbo
    CD Review: Able Thought’s serene In Limbo Local one-man band Able Thought brings a dose of tranquility to the Providence music scene with his latest album, serene In Limbo. People like Andrew Bird and Kishi Bashi have made looping an art form and removed the need for a backing band to produce a full sound. Able Thought uses a loop pedal — I’m assuming — to create his own brand of atmospheric, low-fi folk. What’s striking on first-listen is the use of a nylon string classical guitar as a specific choice. Where folk musicians usually swear by the metal strings, Able Thought embraces the nylon, giving serene In Limbo a signature sound. The guitar playing sounds like a mix of fingerstyle and traditional picking that works well, especially in songs like “In Limbo” and “Places.” But the ambient quality that attracts people to this kind of music has a way of mashing the songs together and making it hard to differentiate one from the next. The level of manipulation makes me wonder if they’d be recognizable played with no effects. To be fair, this gripe is more of a comment on the musical style; I have been accused of not being able to enjoy “chill” music, but many artists these days seem to be drowning themselves in ever-increasing levels of reverb. Maybe the best way to describe the sound is by simply recalling the name of the album. You feel like you’re floating in limbo in some echo-y, open forest. With tons of reverb.
