I uppsatsen behandlas Caravaggio som person och konstnär samt hans verk. Syftet med detta var att titta närmare på olika spekulativa tolkningar som finns av Caravaggios konst och hur hans välkända vilda natur kan ha präglat hans skapande. Kapitel ett ger information om Caravaggios bakgrund och utveckling samt anger stämningen för tiden han levde och verkade i. Kapitel två presenterar kortfattat Caravaggios levnadslopp. Kopplat till några viktiga milstolpar i konstnärens liv presenteras här också ett antal utvalda verk i kronologisk ordning ända fram till tiden för hans död. Dessa bidrar till ökad förståelse för Caravaggio som person och konstnär men är också viktiga exempel på hur hans konst kunde reflektera det personliga jaget och det som försiggick i hans liv. I kapitel tre ligger fokus på olika ikonografiska analyser av Kvällsvarden i Emmaus (1606). Här är det viktigt att upptäcka variationerna som kan existera i tolkningar av verket. Ikonologiska teorier hjälper dessutom att lyfta fram anledningar till varför ikonologiska analyser kan variera.

Thesis advisor: Thomas H. Groome / The central proposal of this dissertation is that recovering the sacramentalprinciple and sacramentality—as a deep structure to all of life—is essential to Christian life, and thus to Catholic education for faith. The sacramental worldview takes seriously the material and historical reality of finite creaturely existence as the place of encounter with Holy Mystery. The seeds of an approach to cultivating this worldview lie in the ancient church practice of mystagogy. Chapter One surveys the epistemological and anthropological facets of the modern and postmodern contexts which posit a desacramentalized cosmos. Many find themselves confined to the limit and flatness of an instrumental, rationalistic, and data driven day to day existence within a commodity culture. This engenders a resistance to the depth of a sacramental cosmos undergirded by the love of the Creator. Furthermore, sacramental ritual and communal worship are no longer a primary place of formation or celebration for fewer and fewer people. Chapter Two traces the historical contours of the sacramental principle as a deep structure to Catholic Christian faith in particular, and indeed, to all of reality. This is placed in conversation with Charles Taylor’s philosophical diagnosis of the secular age and the sacramental theology of Louis-Marie Chauvet. It is into a “world already spoken” by the Logos that the symbolic order acts as a set of building blocks to construct our reality and is therefore the way in which we experience God’s self-communication in God’s transcendence. Chapter Three explores the anthropology and epistemological category of experience in the work of Karl Rahner. Rahner helps us to understand that experience is a necessary epistemological category—constitutive of human knowing. Second, experience is existentiell, meaning that all experience is active and lived, grounded in freedom. Chapter Four maintains that mystagogy was an essential interpretive frame of reference for discerning Christian mystery in the ancient church. The exploration of origins leads to a four-movement model—recollection, recognition, reorientation, and relation—that emerges as a constitutive pattern in early mystagogy. Chapter Five is constructive employing the work of John Dewey, Maxine Greene, Paulo Freire, bell hooks, and Thomas Groome who emphasize the importance the epistemological category of experience in education. Moreover, the four-movement pattern mentioned above is discernible in the spectacular resurrection narrative of the Road to Emmaus and a model for education in faith, prefigured by Jesus’ earthly pedagogy. Consequently, I propose a more extended, broader sense of a mystagogical approach for contemporary praxis to enable the reclamation of an essential sacramental imagination for our time. The telos of these four movements of mystagogy is to enable an anagnorisis—a re-cognition and response to the presence of Holy Mystery within everyday experience. Finally, Chapter Six engages the implications of the foregoing. Mystagogy is an indexical praxis which invites us to be life-long apprentices to becoming alert to God’s hidden presence in our lived experience. It is the rehearsal of a disposition that understands reality as saturated by grace, and learning to accept it as both gift and obligation. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2021. / Submitted to: Boston College.

This study investigated the contributions of John Nelson Darby to selected institutions of contemporary theological higher education. A qualitative approach to the investigation was employed. Archival foraging occupied a greater part of the research data and yielded rich returns as evidenced in the literature review. Purposeful sampling was also utilized. The faculty and administration of three institutions, Moody Bible Institute, Dallas Theological Seminary, and Emmaus Bible College, were mailed questionnaires comprising 22 questions to ascertain their opinions of Darby's contributions to their institutions. Of the 22 questions, 21 were of a Likert type scale offering 5 options: Strongly agree, Agree, Not sure, Disagree, and Strongly disagree; and 1 open-ended question. A response rate of 45% (N=27) was achieved. All results were statistically significant at the p=.05 level utilizing chi-square goodness-of-fit tests.

Les structures de l’Economie sociale et solidaire ont développé des relations professionnelles au fil de l’histoire sociale, de l’évolution des différentes formes de regroupements, et adaptées au cours des cycles économiques. Ces relations se sont transformées afin de satisfaire différents besoins et de couvrir différents risques. L’Abbé Pierre, fondateur du Mouvement Emmaüs a créé une structure permettant la protection sociale et l’emploi des populations exclues. Cette structure s’inspire d’anciennes formes de structures solidaires, les communautés ; et d’anciennes pratiques économiques, celles des chiffonniers. Les Communautés pratiquent une politique de "flexicurité" au niveau des conditions de travail. En effet, elles emploient des salariés, des bénévoles, mais aussi un troisième acteur : le Compagnon. Celui-ci est à la fois bénéficiaire d’une aide solidaire, et travailleur dans la structure qui lui fournit cette aide. Les Communautés sont des structures productives et solidaires, soumises à des obligations de rentabilité économique et de protection sociale. La comparaison entre la France, l’Espagne et le Royaume-Uni permet de voir l’évolution des relations de travail dans ces structures, selon des contextes économiques différents. La rationalité des communautés évolue selon leurs positions au coeur des différents marchés. Plus une Communauté s’éloigne de l’idéologie solidaire du mouvement, plus elle adopte des principes marchands. Cette flexibilité détermine la trajectoire professionnelle des Compagnons et les régimes communautaires de protection solidaire, créées par Emmaüs. / The Third Sector Structures have developed a form of Industrial Relations, linked to the Social Movement History; based on the evolution of different Cooperative groups; and adapted over the business cycle. This Relation System improves the well-being of individuals and Groups, it has evolved to suit social needs and to cover various risks. Abbé Pierre, founder of the Emmaus Movement has created a Structure providing supportive environment, social benefits and work for homeless people. This structure is similar to old forms of Charity and Cooperative structure, "Communities". It deals with old economic activities, those of "Ragpickers". Emmaüs Communities practice "Flexicurity" working policies. Indeed, they have staffs, volunteers, but also a third type of worker: the Companion. The Companion is both Social beneficiary and Worker in the structure that provides him Social benefits. Communities are both supportive and productive structures, dealing with Industrial and Welfare requirements. The comparison between France, Spain and the UK shows the evolution of Industrial Relations into the Communities, within different economical contexts. The Community’ Strategy evolves according to their positions on the Market. "The far, a Community is from Emmaus Movement’s Ideology, the more it adopts market principles". This flexibility determines the Career path of Companions. It conditions the Communities Welfare and Solidarity System.

[pt] Esta pesquisa analisa a possível alusão a Gn 3,7 (LXX) na expressão abriram-se os seus olhos, utilizada por Lucas em Lc 24,31, no episódio dos discípulos de Emaús. A partir dessa referência, o texto lucano desponta como um epílogo ao relato da queda original: no Éden os olhos de Adão e Eva se abriram de modo impróprio, e por sua desobediência constataram sua nudez; em Emaús, ao contrário, os olhos dos discípulos se abriram da maneira certa, e reconheceram o Senhor ressuscitado. Destaca-se a semelhança entre o estado de desânimo dos primeiros pais, ao fim do relato da queda, e dos discípulos de Emaús no início do episódio. Ressalta-se também a importância da iniciativa dos discípulos de convidar Jesus a permanecer, não apenas pela hospitalidade, mas a fim de desfazer a esquiva dos primeiros pais, que se esconderam de Deus em razão de seu pecado. Por fim, a referida aproximação reforça a teoria de que a companhia de Cléofas fosse sua própria esposa, formando um casal. / [en] This research seeks to analyze the possible allusion to Gen 3,7 (LXX) in the expression their eyes were opened, used by Luke in Lk 24,31, in the episode of the disciples of Emmaus. Based on this reference, the Lucan text emerges as an epilogue to the account of the original fall: in Eden the eyes of Adam and Eve were improperly opened, and due to their disobedience they found their nakedness; in Emmaus, on the contrary, the disciples eyes were opened in the right way, and they recognized the risen Lord. The similarity between the state of dismay of the first parents, at the end of the account of the fall, and that of the disciples of Emmaus at the beginning of the episode stands out. The importance of the disciples initiative to invite Jesus to stay is also highlighted, not only for hospitality, but in order to undo the dodge of the first parents, who hid from God because of their sin. Finally, the aforementioned approximation reinforces the theory that Clophas company was his own wife, forming a couple.
