Discerning a spirituality for transformative mission: in dialogue with the Comboni Missionary SistersLepori, Laura 01 1900 (has links)
This research seeks to acquire a deep understanding of how spirituality and
mission correlate and shape each other. An initial review of missiological texts has
revealed that spirituality is not often (nor explicitly) taken into consideration by
missiologists. Likewise, mission generally does not occupy a central place within the
academic discipline of spirituality. I contend that spirituality is the motor of mission and
missiology and therefore cannot be only briefly mentioned or omitted from
missiological discourse.
This thesis explores this relationship with a specific focus on the Comboni
Missionary Sisters. It explores the mission spirituality of their founder, Daniel
Comboni, how this is taken up by the Comboni Missionary Sisters and how it shapes
their lives and their being in mission. The research also aims to foster some
transformations. It explores new ways for the Sisters to express their ways of being in
mission in the context(s) in which they live, in order to be faithful to Comboni’s
charism as well as to be a relevant presence today.
The thesis proposes that mission spirituality be studied and lived by making use a
Mission spirituality spiral. Its six dimensions are: spirituality, at the centre and all along
the spiral; encounter with other(s) and with the context; context analysis; theological
reflection (encounter with Scripture and Tradition); discernment for transformative
ways of being in mission and reflexivity.
A qualitative analysis is presented from interviews conducted with fifteen
Comboni Missionary Sisters working in various continents. Genuine encounter with the
Triune God, with the other(s), with the context and its analysis, and encounter with
Scripture and Tradition lead to transformation in the person and subsequently to finding
new ways of being in mission.
The mission spirituality spiral is used as an analytical tool to study the mission
spirituality of Comboni and the Comboni Missionary Sisters and also as a mobilising
tool. Suggestions for further areas of research are made. The thesis concludes with some
personal learning and transformation. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D. Th. (Missiology)

Tränen in der modernen KunstSpiekermann, Geraldine 15 June 2012 (has links)
Tränen überschreiten die Grenzen des Körpers von innen nach außen und werden damit zu einem sichtbaren Anzeichen eines seelischen Extremzustands. In der Arbeit wird untersucht, ob die Träne, die Körpergrenzen gefährdet oder sogar auflöst, in der modernen und gegenwärtigen Kunst Metapher und Trägerin innerästhetischer Transgression werden kann. Dies bedeutet zugleich, dass eine Umwertung der Träne, von der Perle der Reinheit zu einem bedrohlichen Fluidum, stattgefunden hat. Die Träne als eine bedrohliche Grenzüberschreiterin ist ein Motiv, das in früheren Kunstepochen so nicht anzutreffen ist. Damit verweist sie zugleich exemplarisch auf die Auflösungsstrategien, welche die Kunst des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts bestimmen. Fotoarbeiten von Man Ray, Madame Yevonde und Sam Taylor-Wood, Zeichnungen von Pablo Picasso und Hans Bellmer, Performances von Marina Abramović und Gina Pane, Video-arbeiten von Bill Viola und Bas Jan Ader, Installationen von Daniele Buetti und eine Buchserie von Dieter Roth, denen allen das Motiv der Träne gemeinsam ist, werden in einem Close Rea-ding auf Auflösungstendenzen hin untersucht. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt medienspezifischen Strukturen und Analogien. / Tears overstep the bounds of the human body from within – to become evidence of a crit-ical state of mind. The present study examines whether the tear, which endangers or even dispels the boundaries of the body, could be seen as a metaphor and even as an indication of aesthetic transgression in modern and contemporary art. This would mean that the tear as motif has also undergone a paradigm change, from the pearl of purity to a threatening fluid. The aspect of the tear as a transgressor of boundaries is not to be found in earlier periods of art. Accordingly, it also references the process of disintegration, which strongly determines 20th and 21st century art. Photographs by Man Ray, Madame Yevonde and Sam Taylor-Wood, drawings by Pablo Picasso and Hans Bellmer, performances of Marina Abramovic and Gina Pane, video works by Bill Viola and Bas Jan Ader, installations by Daniele Buetti and a series of books by Dieter Roth – which all deal with the tear complex – will be examined in close reading. Their connection with disintegrative tendencies will be scrutinised, and special attention given to media-specific structures and analogies.
