Breath on glass : transforming science into story

Cryer, Jennifer January 2010 (has links)
Scientific progress has historically increased anxiety in society about man's relationship with nature. In vitro fertilisation, cloning and regenerative stem-cell-based therapies have raised fears about transgressive raids on the boundaries which secure human identity. This thesis seeks to explore the power of realist fiction to respond to both the process and ethics of scientific endeavour in a contemporary setting. Breath on Glass, a novel, follows the lives of two young researchers and their family relationships, both inside and outside of the laboratory, exploring the ways in which scientific tensions might give rise to personal ones. In parallel, it considers the ways in which the need for the advanced technology of fertility treatment impacts on their non-scientific relative. In the accompanying essay, the requirement for, and the use of literature to act as a conciliator between science and humanity is discussed and the narrative of science and the narratives of the individual scientists are compared.

Julian de Norwich, mystique et théologie / Julian of Norwich, mysticism and theology

Billoteau, Elisabeth Emmanuelle 19 December 2014 (has links)
Quelles sont les caractéristiques d’une théologie issue de la mystique ? Telle est la question à laquelle nous tenterons de répondre à partir d’un cas particulier, celui des Showings de Julian de Norwich (XIVe-XVe s.). La version longue de cet opus nous permet d’observer un phénomène d’amplification et d’élaboration qui touche les domaines de l’anthropologie, de la christologie et de la théologie trinitaire. Puisant dans l’expérience vive, le propos théologique de Julian est traversé des affects liés à ce vécu. Julian parle de Dieu en ne cessant de parler à Dieu et en établissant avec ses « semblables dans le Christ » une communauté émotionnelle et noétique. Mais une expérience mystique ne donne pas forcément lieu à une théologie mystique au sens où l’entendent le Pseudo-Denys et Jean Gerson. C’est plutôt à une théologie prophétique et visionnaire que nous avons à faire, qui assume pleinement son caractère partiel, situé. Nous nous trouvons ici à un tournant de l’histoire de la théologie et de la spiritualité qui voit l’émergence de deux domaines séparés, celui de la théologie scolastique ou universitaire et celui de la spiritualité, là où la patristique témoignait d’une profonde unité. Les différentes méthodologies mises en œuvre dans cette recherche sont au service d’une étude qui se situe tout à la fois dans le champ de la théologie et de l’histoire de la spiritualité. / What are the main characteristics of a theology stemming from a mystic experience ? This thesis attempts to answer this question by examining an individual case, that of The Showings of Julian of Norwich (C14th- C15th). The Long Text of this opus enables us to observe a development in the fields of anthropology, Christology and Trinitarian theology. Firmly rooted in her experience of life, Julian’s theological discourse is interwoven with the emotions drawn from that experience. Julian speaks about God in speaking to God and in establishing with her « fellow Christians » an emotional and noetic community. But a mystical experience does not automatically give birth to a mystical theology as understood by Pseudo-Dionysius and Jean Gerson. We are rather in the presence of a prophetical and visionary theology that is fully conscious of its partial, limited, and contextualised nature. We find ourselves at a turning-point in the history of theology and spirituality, which sees the emergence of two separate fields that of scholastic theology and that of spirituality, where previously patristic theology bore witness to a profound unity. The different methodologies used in this research are in the service of a study within two distinct fields : those of theology and the history of spirituality.
