  • Josephine Mary Alexander Phd Thesis
    THE THEME OF THE WISE AND FOOLISH VIRGINS AS PART OF THE LAST JUDGEMENT ICONOGRAPHY IN FLANDERS AND ITALY IN THE LATE 15TH AND THE 16TH CENTURIES Josephine Mary Alexander A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of MPhil at the University of St Andrews 1981 Full metadata for this item is available in St Andrews Research Repository at: http://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Please use this identifier to cite or link to this item: http://hdl.handle.net/10023/15249 This item is protected by original copyright ABSTRACT The parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins is told in Matthew's Gospel, Ch.25, v1-13, as an allegory of the Last Judgement. This thesis sets out to examine firstly, how closely the parable is related to the iconography of the Last Judgement in the art of the 15th and 16th centuries; secondly to demonstrate how its inter­ pretation came to be broadened by association with other biblical themes, themselves part of the Last Judgement iconography. Part I traces the origins and develop­ ment of the theme from early Christian times to the 15th century. In these early sources the artistic tradition of linking the parable to the Last Judgement was first established; the Wise and Foolish Virgins were also linked with Ecclesia and Synagogue and with the Virtues and Vices; and the typological tradition of biblical illustration broadened the theme further by pairing it with other biblical feasts. Appendix I is a handlist of the Wise and Foolish Virgins up till the late 15th century and it illustrates how popular the theme had become by the Middle Ages.

  • Under Ages. Middle Late to Early the from Synagoga and Ecclesia Of
    ABSTRACT ALEXANDER, MELISSA CALL. Sibling Rivals to Mortal Enemies: The Evolution of Ecclesia and Synagoga From the Early to Late Middle Ages. (Under the direction of Dr. Julie Mell). This thesis explores the evolution of Ecclesia and Synagoga from their philosophical origins in the fourth-century, up to their image as a wood-carving in the High Middle period. In doing so, its aim is to shed light on the reasons for the choice of women‘s bodies as symbols for Judaism and Christianity, to explore what this choice meant to Jews and Christians‘ views of each other, and to analyze the treatment of the pair in visual mediums. Up until now, scholars have overarchingly focused on the historical context surrounding the images, or their roles in increased hostility toward Jews on the part of Christians, from the eleventh-century onward. This has left a void in the study of the pair, as well as the study of Jewish-Christian relations. Scholarship has not been focused specifically on the usage of female forms, the characterization of the two as familial by Hildegard of Bingen in the twelfth-century, nor has it sufficiently illuminated why striking changes were made in the manner in which the two were portrayed, in a specific fifteenth-century example. Through an analysis of secondary literature and an examination of the images themselves, this thesis demonstrates that the choice of women‘s bodies directly reflected a Roman cultural influence on the Early Church; that ideals of motherhood, virginity, and sacred kinship held by Hildegard directly affected her vision of the pair; and transmutative gender seen in science and popular forms of entertainment in fifteenth- century Erfurt, had a direct effect on the manner in which the Ecclesia and Synagoga were understood, evolved, characterized, and depicted.

  • That´S Thuringia
    www.thats-thuringia.com Thatʼs Thuringia. Ladies and Gentlemen, In Thuringia there flourishes a pioneering and inventive spirit, new ideas and innovations that can change the world. Carl Zeiss, Ernst Abbe and Otto Schott long ago laid the foundation for today’s optics industry and the productive coaction of industry and science in Thuringia’s Jena. We have been building on that ever since – for example with a diverse research environment with nine universities and technical colleges for a start, a total of 14 institutes of the Fraunhofer, Leibniz, Max-Planck and Helmholtz Association and eight business-related research institutes. A central location at the heart of Europe, an efficient infrastructure, highspeed train (ICE) and motorway hubs, large and attractive industrial parks and people who want to make a difference; all of this comprises a unique combination of locational advantages which makes the state a sought-after address for investors from around the world. For enterprises looking for interdisciplinary collaboration with innovative partners, Thuringia is bursting with opportunities to make connections, as the state’s economy is characterized by a diverse mix of indus- tries and a vibrant research and innovation culture. Thuringia has now become the state with the highest economic growth rate since 1990 and the most industrial companies per 100,000 inhabitants – and the economic dynamism of the past few years is reflected in the lowest unemploy- ment rate in the five East German states. Entrepreneurs and skilled workers are attracted by a high quality of life: Thuringia is the country of castles and palaces, possesses in cities like Eisenach, Erfurt, Weimar and Jena the domains of famous poets, thinkers and artists such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, Franz Liszt or Otto Dix.

  • Cohen Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Keene State College
    Cohen Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Keene State College Antisemitisms: Facing the Longest Hatreds in a post Holocaust World This introduction to the “world’s longest hatred” is not meant to be comprehensive and will be generally restricted to my own focus, research, personal experience, and imagination. I will explore the role of antisemitism in the context of the development of Western European individual and collective identities that created an “imaginable” foundation for the Nazis. What are the roots of antisemitism? How do individual and collective identities shape its various expressions? How is it similar to and different from racism, bigotry, and prejudice? How has it manifested itself in different times and places? Were the Nazis different or part of a continuum? What is the role of imagination? How does antisemitism allow perpetrators to morally justify their actions by shifting their moral universe? Focus questions: Where does antisemitism come from and how does it give meaning to individual and collective identities? How does antisemitism act as a “virus” – mutating to penetrate societal norms? Hate cannot be publicly aired without some form of justification. What sources of authority within cultures have legitimated and sanctioned antisemitism? What made central and eastern European antisemitism lethal? For classroom discussion: What was surprising and/or interesting about this reading? What questions do you have of the text? What needs to be clarified for you? What are the important ideas and themes for you? How to deal with issues of identity? Antisemitism, broadly defined, are feelings, attitudes and acts of prejudice and hatred against Jews.
