2	Nisi Causa Utili et Necessaria: Catherine of Siena's Dominican Confessors and the Principles of a Licit Pastoral 'Irregularity' Sweetman, Robert January 2006 (has links) The Dominican Order gradually evolved rules governing contact between a Dominican pastor and a woman penitent. In the context of these rules, the care given to Catherine of Siena as reported by Raymund of Capua and as confirmed in the letters of Catherine herself can only be termed irregular. The paper attempts to identify the principles underlying and legitimating pastoral irregularity. Dominican Order Catherine of Siena Raymund of Capua Pastoral irregularity
3	De feu et de sang : histoire, rhétorique et prophétisme dans les lettres de Catherine de Sienne (1347-1380) / Fire and Blood : history, rhetoric and prophecy in the correspondence of Catherine of Siena (1347-1380) Porzi, Sonia 07 December 2009 (has links) Cette thèse traite le paradoxe apparent entre le statut de femme prétendument illettrée de Catherine de Sienne (1347-1380) et sa production de lettres, dictées en langue vulgaire italienne, à la fois nombreuses et fort importantes. Catherine y aborde en effet en prophétesse les grandes questions qui touchent la chrétienté à l’époque avignonnaise: la réforme de l’Église, la croisade, le retour des papes à Rome et la paix dans les états pontificaux. S’appuyant sur une présentation de la tradition textuelle des lettres, puis sur une étude des sources littéraires, la première partie fait le point sur la culture de Catherine et sur ses lectures. La deuxième partie montre comment Catherine s’inscrit dans la tradition du prophétisme vétéro-testamentaire et médiéval, puis comment ce prophétisme s’amplifie au fil de ses lettres. À travers , l’approche diachronique du corpus on voit ainsi comment les images s’organisent jusqu’à former une vaste allégorie où s’exprime le projet de société de Catherine. / This thesis investigates the paradox seemingly posed by the alleged illiteracy of Catherine of Siena (1347-1380) in contradiction to her prolific and highly significant output of letters dictated in the Italian vernacular. These reveal Catherine as a genuine prophetess of the key issues that confronted Christianity at the time of the Great Schism: Church reform, the Crusade, the popes' return to Rome and peace in the papal states.The first part describes the letters as traditionally interpreted and probes their literary sources as a basis for assessing Catherine's culture and reading. The second illustrates her contribution to the tradition of vetero-testamentary and mediaeval prophecy and then how this trend gathers pace in her subsequent letters. A diachronic approach to her writings as a whole reveals how her imagery coalesces into a vast allegory reflecting her social aspirations.

5	Aspects of imagery in Catherine of Siena from a Jungian perspective Munro, Alison Mary January 2001 (has links) This study investigates whether or nor not the imagery of Catherine of Siena can be interpreted from a Jungian perspective. It takes a lead from other studies, notably one on Teresa of Avila and Jung. Reading of medieval literature suggests that medievals applied the use of symbols and imagery in ways that are at times baffling to people of our time. Carl Jung was no stranger to imagery and symbol. In our current age with its renewed emphasis on the insights of spirituality, and to some extent its disenchantment with aspects of traditional psychology, there is room for a dialogue between the two disciplines of mysticism and psychology across a six-hundred year divide. The use of imagery, as a window to the soul, in the Christian tradition is examined. Catherine of Siena is situated within her own medieval context, one of upheaval in the church, but also an age of mysticism and spiritual/religious phenomena strange to our own time. Catherine is introduced against the background of her world and against the backdrop of the Dominican tradition. A discussion of some of her major imagery demonstrates her aim of union with God. An understanding of conscious aspects and of unconscious aspects of the self is shown as key to Jung ' s view of the psyche. Elucidation of some archetypes and a discussion of Jung's dream analysis demonstrates how Jung believed the unconscious becomes conscious, and how individuation becomes a possibility. Key Catherinian images are examined from a Jungian perspective. Catherine has relevance for the twenty first century, and we are invited to be challenged by the mysteries and truths to which her images point us.

7	Self-knowledge in the writings of Catherine of Siena Fresen, Patricia Anne 11 1900 (has links) This thesis is a study of self-knowledge in the writings of Catherine of Siena. The introductory chapter clarifies the kind of self-knowledge she is describing, viz. metaphysical self-knowledge which, in the case of mystics such as Catherine, blossoms into mystical self-knowledge. Catherine is then situated within the framework of her own era. A survey of catherinian literature follows. Since her major symbol for self-knowledge is the cell, the concept of the cell in the Church tradition of the West, and its influence on Catherine, is explored. The major aspect of the enquiry is the tracing of the chronological unfolding of Catherine's doctrine of self-knowledge, working with the texts themselves. This is done under the headings of her three main symbols for self-knowledge, la eel/a (the cell), la casa (the house) and la citta dell'anima (the city of the soul). Each of these sections is concluded with an interpretation of the significance of the unfolding of that symbol within Catherine's thought and the chapter itself is rounded off by an interpretation of the three symbols for self-knowledge in their integration and interconnectedness. Catherine communicates her experience of mystical self-knowledge by means of a complex system of images and symbols, all of which fit together to form a whole. This warrants an investigation into the role of the imagination, imagery and symbol in mysticism, and explores Catherine's use of imagery and symbol. The study shows Catherine's own gradual integration of mystical experience and ministry as it takes place within her experience and in the development of her thought. What we are able to see, by studying the texts, is the formation and strengthening of the underlying unity in Catherine between the inner movement of mystical love and outgoing concern for others which is redemptive love. These two are really one. / Christian, Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D. Th.

10	“She said she was called Theodore” : - A modality analysis of five transcendental saints in the 1260’s Legenda Aurea and 1430’s Gilte Legende Atterving, Emmy January 2017 (has links) This thesis explores modalities in two hagiographical collections from the late Middle Ages; the Legenda Aurea and the Gilte Legende by drawing inspiration from post-colonial hybridity theories.. It conducts a close textual analysis by studying the use of pronouns in five saints’ legends where female saints transcend traditional gender identities and become men, and focuses on how they transcend, live as men, and die. The study concludes that the use of pronouns is fluid in the Latin Legenda Aurea, while the Middle English Gilte Legende has more female pronouns and additions to the texts where the female identity of the saints is emphasised. This is interpreted as a sign of the feminisation of religious language in Europe during the late Middle Ages, and viewed parallel with the increase of holy women at that time. By doing this, it underlines the importance of new words and concepts when describing and understanding medieval views on gender. saint saints transvestites transvestism transvestite saint marina marina marinus saint eugenia eugenia eugene saint theodora theodora theodore saint margaret margaret pelagius margaret margaret pelagia pelagius pelagia saint pelagia jacopo de fazio jacobus de voragine jacopo da varazze compiler dominican Golden legend legenda aurea legenda sanctorum gilte legende confessor martyr virgin hagiographies hagiography biography England Middle English sweden monastery monk abbot social experimentation space feminisation of language jesus as mother saint bridget of sweden saint mary holy virgin saint catherine of siena le roman de silences silence caroline walker bynum sanctity transcendence homi bhabha post-colonial postcolonial loomba hybridity hybridity theory gender gender fluidity crossdressing cross-dressing transgender laqueur linguistics modality nuyts medieval late medieval late middle ages middle ages late medieval period History and Archaeology Historia och arkeologi
