Ce mémoire s’inscrit dans le cadre disciplinaire d’études théâtrales. Son but est d’approfondir les connaissances concernant le théâtre d’évangélisation du XVIe siècle qui s’est développé au Japon après l’arrivée de missionnaires jésuites en 1549, afin de mieux saisir l’envergure et les éléments qui le définissent. En premier lieu, ce type d’art dramatique est situé dans le contexte du théâtre religieux européen du XVIe siècle en considérant, en plus, sa relation avec le théâtre d’évangélisation en Nouvelle Espagne. Ensuite, en tenant compte des investigations de Bourdon, Leims, Rubiera et Ruiz-de-Medina et après une analyse des quatre principaux recueils de lettres des missionnaires jésuites au Japon, nous dédions notre recherche à la lecture intégrale du seul parmi ces-derniers traduit entièrement en castillan : Cartas que los padres y hermanos de la Compañía de Jesús que andan en los reinos del Japón escribieron a los de la misma Compañía, desde el año de 1549 hasta el de 1571 (Alcalá, 1575), avec l’objectif d’extraire et analyser toute l’information pertinente reliée à l’art dramatique évangélisateur. En plus, nous effectuons une comparaison du segment principal de texte épistolaire concernant ce théâtre (De una [carta] del hermano Juan Fernández, de Bungo para los padres y hermanos de la Compañia de Jesús, a ocho de octubre de mil y quinientos y sesenta y uno) qui est identifiable dans les quatre principales collections de correspondance mentionnées ci-haut, afin de confirmer la possible divergence du contenu qui circulait dans les différentes compilations publiées. Les résultats de cette recherche permettent de mettre à jour l’information disponible reliée au théâtre missionnaire japonais du XVIe siècle. En plus, ceux-ci offrent de nouvelles possibilités d’étude principalement à travers l’édition critique de Ruiz-de-Medina et à l’aide du recueil de missives d’Évora (1598). / This thesis explores a topic attributed to the field of theatre studies. Its purpose is to deepen the knowledge concerning the evangelization theater of the 16th century that developed in Japan after the arrival of Jesuits in 1549, in order to better grasp the scope and the elements that define it. Firstly, this type of dramatic art is studied within the context of the European religious theatre of the 16th century and in relation to the New Spain evangelization theater. Then, considering the investigations of Bourdon, Leims, Rubiera and Ruiz-de-Medina and after analysis of the four main collections of Jesuit letters in Japan, we dedicate our research to the only work, of those four, written entirely in Castilian: Cartas que los padres y hermanos de la Compañía de Jesús que andan en los reinos del Japón escribieron a los de la misma Compañía, desde el año de 1549 hasta el de 1571 (Alcalá, 1575), with the purpose of extracting and analysing all relevant information related to evangelisation dramatic art . In addition, we make a comparison of the main segment of epistolary text concerning this theatre (De una [carta] del hermano Juan Fernández, de Bungo para los padres y hermanos de la Compañía de Jesús, a ocho de octubre de mil y quinientos y sesenta y uno), which is identifiable in the four main correspondence collections mentioned above, in order to confirm possible content discrepancies. The results of this research allow to update the available information related to Japanese missionary theatre of the 16th century, as well as to identify potential new study paths primarily through analysis of the critical edition of Ruiz-de-Medina and the missive collection from Évora (1598). / Esta memoria se inscribe en el marco disciplinar de los estudios teatrales.

This paper deals with the history of the study and discipline called "History of Christian Art". It attempts to find the roots of the interest in history, sacred monuments, and national monuments of the past in the spiritual environment of the Czech lands, and its subsequent inclusion in the context of contemporary European developments of interest in art and its study. Beginning with the oldest hagiographic texts, which are not only records of literary history, but in many cases are important in terms of references to building monuments and artworks, among which Kristian's legend is dominant, through the texts of medieval chroniclers, Kosmas, his followers, the Chronicle of Zbraslav Monastery and chronicles from the reign of Charles IV., across the historiography of the Baroque period, which is without a doubt dominated by the work of Bohuslav Balbín and Thomas Pešina of Čechorod, and the period of national awakening, through a boom industry in the nineteenth century, when Ferdinand Josef Lehner made history with his founding work, to the culmination in the activities of representatives of the field the first half of the twentieth century, when it was represented by personalities such as Antonin Podlaha, Eduard Sittler, and Josef Cibulka. Based on the recapitulation and subsequent description of...

A dispetto della legislazione claustrale tridentina e post-tridentina, tra XVI e XVII secolo si assistette all’emergere in Italia, in Europa e nei paesi di missione di numerose congregazioni semireligiose femminili insegnanti, senza clausura e senza voti solenni, fondate, co-fondate o dirette dai padri della Compagnia di Gesù, che si ispiravano alle Costituzioni e alla spiritualità ignaziana, specie nell’apostolato educativo. Attraverso un approfondito scavo archivistico, il presente studio offre un vasto censimento delle numerose case di “gesuitesse” presenti in Italia tra Cinquecento e Seicento, mostrando, tramite l’analisi delle reti di relazioni tra questi istituti nonché delle peculiarità economiche, giuridiche, educative e spirituali delle semireligiose rispetto alle monache claustrali, la sostanziale compattezza e unità di questo fenomeno, fondato sulla comune identità gesuitica. Con ciò si intende, inoltre, far luce sui contrasti e sulle contraddizioni legati all’affermazione delle gesuitesse, che portarono ad aspri scontri interni alla Compagnia di Gesù, a diversi processi inquisitoriali e a duri conflitti giurisdizionali tra poteri secolari ed ecclesiastici. / In spite of the Tridentine and post-Tridentine cloistered legislation, the 16th and 17th centuries witnessed the foundation in Italy, Europe and the mission countries of numerous semi-religious female congregations, without clausura and without solemn vows, founded, co-founded or directed by the fathers of the Society of Jesus. These congregations, called “Jesuitesses”, were inspired by the Jesuit Constitutions and Ignatian spirituality, especially in the educational apostolate. Through an in-depth archival research, the present study offers a vast census of the numerous houses of Jesuitesses present in Italy between the Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries, showing, through the analysis of the network of relations between these institutes as well as the economic, juridical, educational and spiritual peculiarities of the semi-religious compared to the cloistered nuns, the substantial compactness and unity of this phenomenon, based on a common Jesuit identity. The aim is also to shed light on the contrasts and contradictions related to the affirmation of the Jesuitesses, which led to bitter internal clashes within the Society of Jesus, various inquisitorial trials and harsh jurisdictional conflicts between secular and ecclesiastical powers.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Between 1675 and 1698 more than 60 published works, ranging from ephemera – pamphlets, scurrilous libelli, dialogues, letters and articles – to multi-part volumes in-folio, were printed by the participants in a dispute over the antiquity of the origins of the Carmelite order. Though the broad contours of the quarrel between the Carmelites and Antwerp Jesuits who were their main adversaries is well known, it has yet to be analyzed in any significant detail. The following study undertakes such an analysis, first reconstructing the origins of the quarrel in the religious houses and print shops of Antwerp, next looking at the Carmelite perspective and the "argument from tradition" which buttressed the Carmelites' claims to antiquity, and lastly tracing the history of the "erudition" which allowed the Bollandists -- the Jesuit scholars responsible for that monument of hagio-historiography known as the Acta Sanctorum -- to mount their critique. An appendix presents a critical edition and translation of one of the better-known anti-Bollandist pamphlets, Novus Ismael.

Ce mémoire explore les rivalités entre les missionnaires jésuites, récollets et sulpiciens en Nouvelle-France au XVIIe siècle. Plus précisément, il porte sur le discours polémique à propos des missionnaires, qu’il provienne de concurrents religieux ou de membres de l’administration coloniale. Même si ces missionnaires participaient tous à un projet apostolique commun, les sources nous révèlent que différents réseaux luttaient à cette époque pour que certains missionnaires puissent jouir d’un monopole sur les âmes de la colonie, tandis que les autres étaient relégués au second plan. Dans cette Église naissante, plusieurs désaccords sévissent entre ces trois familles religieuses et permettent d’expliquer les tensions que l’on retrouve dans leurs écrits. Il s’agit principalement de la francisation des Premières Nations et de la fondation de l’évêché de Québec. En outre, les rivalités entre les Jésuites, les Récollets et les Sulpiciens dépassent largement le cadre spirituel et débouchent régulièrement sur des questions de nature commerciale. Certains missionnaires, les Jésuites en particulier, seront accusés tout au long du siècle par divers acteurs de s’enrichir de différentes manières et notamment de se livrer au trafic des fourrures. Plutôt que de s’intéresser à la véracité de ces attaques, ce mémoire propose de les analyser et de chercher à comprendre leur origine ainsi que leur fonction. Ces accusations doivent également être mises en relation avec les rivalités auxquelles les missionnaires devaient faire face dans leurs autres missions à la même époque. / This thesis explores the rivalries between Jesuit, Recollect and Sulpician missionaries in the 17th century in New France. Specifically, it examines the polemical discourse about the missionaries, whether it came from religious competitors or from members of the colonial administration. Although these missionaries were all part of a common apostolic project, the sources reveal that different networks were struggling at the time so that some missionaries could enjoy a monopoly over the souls of the colony, while others were relegated to the background. In this nascent Church, several disagreements that raged between these three religious families can help to explain the tensions that we find in their writings. The main issues were the francization of the First Nations and the founding of the bishopric of Quebec. Furthermore, the rivalries between the Jesuits, the Recollects and the Sulpicians went far beyond the spiritual framework and regularly led to commercial issues. Certain missionaries, the Jesuits in particular, were accused throughout the century by various actors of enriching themselves in various ways, and of engaging in the fur trade. Rather than focusing on the veracity of these attacks, this thesis proposes to analyze them and to try to understand their origin and function. These accusations must also be put in relation to the rivalries that the missionaries had to face in their other missions during the same period.

I tried to identify, in their actions, the simple act of christianize or a deeper and wider desire. I reached the conclusion that they were moved by Inácio de Loyola s spirituality who taught how to evangelize. Due to that, the respect to the indigenous culture and all the interaction work. They had problems concerning to the Christian dogmas in confrontation with the aboriginal thought. To facilitate this situation they ve created educational institutions that became places of humanist and religious formation. One of these schools, thanks to the intense dedication of professor Jose de Anchieta, attracted numerous inhabitants and turned to be the birth of a city that, today it is the second bigger city of the world / Este trabalho pretende refletir sobre o que motivou os jesuítas a virem para o Brasil e a influência inaciana na fundação da cidade de São Paulo e no próprio modo de ser brasileiro. Procurei identificar, em suas ações, o simples ato de cristianizar ou um desejo mais profundo e amplo. Cheguei à conclusão de que foram movidos pela espiritualidade de Inácio de Loyola, que ensinava a evangelizar. Por isso, o respeito à cultura indígena e a todo o trabalho de inculturação. Tiveram problemas no tocante aos dogmas cristãos em confronto com o pensamento indígena. Para facilitar esse trabalho, eles criaram colégios que se tornaram locais de formação humanista e catequética. Um desses colégios, pela intensa atuação do mestre José de Anchieta, atraiu numerosos habitantes às suas cercanias e se tornou o berço de uma cidade que é hoje a segunda maior do mundo

The Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order, presuppose Roman Catholicism, but are today made by many who are not Catholics. Moreover, even Roman Catholics who make Ignatian Exercises often are not spontaneously inclined to obey Roman ecclesiastical authority. Neither avoiding the ecclesial dimension nor an authoritarian ‘follow the rules!’ provides spiritual directors with adequate orientation when working with issues at Church frontiers. This dissertation in pastoral theology seeks to navigate a middle position by moving beyond the individualism and the a-historical assumptions of the existing relevant literature. The dissertation remains close to the Ignatian primary sources, in the awareness that the Ignatian tradition needs to be constantly updated and that the contemporary ecclesial frontiers are not fully foreseen in the canonical texts. The main hypothesis is that a notion is needed of a ‘pilgrim Church’ in space and time, with Christians who are related to one another in a deep and fundamental sense. The minor hypothesis is that the individual needs to be open towards and prepared to learn from the Roman Catholic Church, in order to understand and to be profoundly moved by these exercises, but not necessarily to become a Roman Catholic. Having presented and discussed various approaches in the writings of twentieth-century and recent thinkers, this thesis puts forward its own ecclesiological position informed by Charles Taylor, Hans-Georg Gadamer and Karl Rahner. The aim is to take Ignatian studies forward by combining relational anthropology, hermeneutics and a sacramental understanding of the Church, and to apply this synthesis to the practice of giving Ignatian Exercises. The final chapter discusses a selection of cases in the light of my ecclesiological position. The synthesis and application claim originality.

The work deals with the dissemination, duration, transformations and reception of the cult of an important Jesuit Saint, St. Francis Xavier, in the early modern Czech lands. Its goal is to contribute to the better understanding of the reality of the re-catholicization after the Battle of White Montain and the forms of Czech spirituality of the 17th and 18th century. This particular cult was selected because of the fact that St. Francis Xavier was closely related to the main (or most prominent) participant of the re-catholicization, i. e. the Jesuit order, where he in the informal hierarchy of Saints occupied the second place immediately after the founder of the Society St. Ignacius of Loyola. Moreover, St. Francis Xavier belonged among the five new Catholic Saints canonized in 1622 (St. Ignacius of Loyola, St. Francis Xavier, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Philipp Neri, and St. Isidore of Madrid), who represented an important constituent of the revived post-Tridentine Catholic spirituality. However, although the existing secondary literature presupposes that the reverence to St. Francis Xavier was widespread in the Czech Baroque, no systematic study of this theme was realized untill now. First chapter deals with the specification of the theme of the work, maps existing knowledge and sources available and...

This dissertation in its first part inquires the life and work of Konrád Maria Kubeš (1890? 1967), a people?s missionary, a preacher, an excercitator and a deep devotee of the Marian cult. It is introduced with the socio-political history in 1890?1967, with the overview of the Popes and theological thinking between 1878 and 1978. Next, it looks in detail into each period of Kubeš?s life, his family background, high school studies in Hradec Králové, his theological studies in Prague, his entry into the monastic order and his activities in Society of Jesus. The dissertation pursues Kubeš?s life story in communist centralization monasteries, in Moravec, his short work in Bukovinka and finally his forced stay in Břežany near Znojmo. Afterwards, it analyses Kubeš?s theological work published in books and journals, as well his historical contribution. The final part of the dissertation evaluates Kubeš?s personality and his significance in the context of the Czech religious and monastic history of the 20th century. The author based his thesis primarily on archival recources, Kubeš?s short autobiographical memories, oral and written witnesses of his contemporaries and last but not least on secondary literature. The second part of the dissertation contains 182 text apendixes and 2 pictorial apendixes which are make up an indispensable and logical supplement to the whole picture of the life, work and contribution of Konrád Maria Kubeš.
