  1. Holy Hip Hop in the City of Angels

    In the 1990s, Los Angeles was home to numerous radical social and environmental eruptions. In the face of several major earthquakes and floods, riots and economic insecurity, police brutality and mass incarceration, some young black Angelenos turned to holy hip hop—a movement merging Christianity and hip hop culture—to “save” themselves and the city. Converting street corners to open-air churches and gangsta rap beats into anthems of praise, holy hip hoppers used gospel rap to navigate complicated social and spiritual realities and to transform the Southland’s fractured terrains into musical Zions. Armed with beats, rhymes, and bibles, they journeyed through black Lutheran congregations, prison ministries, African churches, reggae dancehalls, hip hop clubs, Nation of Islam meetings, and Black Lives Matter marches. Zanfagna’s fascinating ethnography provides a contemporary and unique view of black LA, offering a much-needed perspective on how music and religion intertwine in people’s everyday experiences.

  2. Stadt als Schule : Nachbarschaftszentrum und Gemeinschaftsschule an der alten Feuerwache in Anger-Crottendorf, Leipzig.

    When a fire department called "Ostwache" in the eastern part of Leipzig closed down, it left their old building behind vacant. Soon after a neighbourhood initiative sought to use the space to establish a community center for the surrounding neighbourhood. At the same time, the municipal government was planning a new school on the same lot. This thesis presents a solution for this conflict. By bringing together architectural, urban planning and pedagogical perspectives, while aiming for synergies. Following the model of Freinet pedagogy, a community school was planned with a new building at the site of the old fire station and the community center is to be located in the existing building of the old Ostwache. Through a common courtyard, shared work and sports facilities and a shared lunch, the school opens up to the city and its neighborhood to the school. This is how city works as school and a school works as city. "In der alten, leer gewordenen Feuerwache im Leipziger Osten soll ein Nachbarschaftszentrum entstehen. Gleichzeitig plant die Stadt auf dem frei gewordenen Grundstück eine Schule. Das vorliegende Werk stellt stellt einen Lösungs ansatz für diesen Nutzungskonflikt vor, in dem architektonisch, städtebaulich und pädagogisch Synergien geschaffen werden sollen. Nach dem Vorbild der Freinet-Pädagogik wurde eine Gemeinschaftsschule am Standort der alten Feuerwache in einem Neubau geplant, während das Nachbarschaftszentrum im Bestandsgebäude der alten Feuerwehr Platz findet. Durch einen gemeinsamen Hof, zusammen genutzte Werk- und Sportstätten sowie einen gemeinsamen Mittagstisch wird die Schule zur Stadt geöffnet und die Nachbarschaft zur Schule.

    So wird Stadt zur Schule."

    Becoming Christian argues that romance narratives of Jews and Muslims converting to Christianity register theological formations of race in post-Reformation England. The medieval motif of infidel conversion came under scrutiny as Protestant theology radically reconfigured how individuals acquire religious identities.Whereas Catholicism had asserted that Christian identity begins with baptism, numerous theologians in the Church of England denied the necessity of baptism and instead treated Christian identity as a racial characteristic passed from parents to their children. The church thereby developed a theology that both transformed a nation into a Christian race and created skepticism about the possibility of conversion. Race became a matter of salvation and damnation.Britton intervenes in critical debates about the intersections of race and religion, as well as in discussions of the social implications of romance. Examining English translations of Calvin, treatises on the sacraments, catechisms, and sermons alongside works by Edmund Spenser, John Harrington, William Shakespeare, John Fletcher, and Phillip Massinger, Becoming Christian demonstrates how a theology of race altered a nation’s imagination and literary landscape

    Waking to find himself shipwrecked on a strange shore before a dark wood, the pilgrim of the Divine Comedy realizes he must set his sights higher and guide his ship to a radically different port. Starting on the sand of that very shore with Dante, John Freccero begins retracing the famous voyage recounted by the poet nearly 700 years ago.Freccero follows pilgrim and poet through the Comedy and then beyond, inviting readers both uninitiated and accomplished to join him in navigating this complex medieval masterpiece and its influence on later literature. Perfectly impenetrable in its poetry and unabashedly ambitious in its content, the Divine Comedy is the cosmos collapsed on itself, heavy with dense matter and impossible to expand. Yet Dante’s great triumph is seen in the tiny, subtle fragments that make up the seamless whole, pieces that the poet painstakingly sewed together to form a work that insinuates itself into the reader and inspires the work of the next author. Freccero magnifies the most infinitesimal elements of that intricate construction to identify self-similar parts, revealing the full breadth of the great poem.Using this same technique, Freccero then turns to later giants of literature— Petrarch, Machiavelli, Donne, Joyce, and Svevo—demonstrating how these authors absorbed these smallest parts and reproduced Dante in their own work. In the process, he confronts questions of faith, friendship, gender, politics, poetry, and sexuality, so that traveling with Freccero, the reader will both cross unknown territory and reimagine familiar faces, swimming always in Dante’s wake

    Chateaubriand was the giant of French literature in the early nineteenth century. Drawing on eighteenth-century English romanticists, on explorers in America, and on Goethe's Werther, he had a profound effect on French writers from Victor Hugo and Lamartine to George Sand and Flaubert. A quixotic and paradoxical personality, he combined impressive careers as a brilliant prose-poet, a spiritual guide, a high-ranking diplomat, and an enterprising lover.Atala and René are his two best-known works, reflecting not only his own joys, aspirations, and despair, but the emerging tastes of a new literary era. Atala is the passionate and tragic love story of a young Indian couple wandering in the wilderness, enthralled by the beauties of nature, drawn to a revivified Christianity by its esthetic charm and consoling beneficence, and finally succumbing to the cruelty of fate. Perhaps even more than Werther or Childe Harold, René embodies the romantic hero, and is not wholly foreign to the disorientation of youth today. Solitary, mysterious, ardent, and poetic, he is in open revolt against a society whose values he rejects. Withough question this archetype played a large part in determining the course of French literature up to the 1850's

    Pluridisciplinaire, cet ouvrage, ouvert par un psychologue des religions, a rassemblé littéraires, historiens et linguistes autour de la question de la conversion, de l'Antiquité au XXIe siècle. Il conduit son lecteur de l'Italie antique à l'Espagne moderne, de l'Allemagne à l'Angleterre ou la Hongrie, sans oublier la France, sa littérature médiévale ou ses grands romanciers, parfois inattendus sur le sujet. Les recherches historiques les plus pointues, les réalités, y côtoient le discours, l'écriture et ses textes. Ces approches croisées, entre disciplines, siècles et espaces renouvellent une question majeure, actuellement redécouverte par la recherche. Majeure car toute la culture européenne s'est construite autour de la conversion massive au christianisme consécutive à l'écroulement du polythéisme romain. La conversion est donc affaire de pouvoir, de politique et de sociétés. Elle peut, par le théâtre religieux en particulier, s'adresser aux foules. Certaines époques la montrent violente, contrainte, irrespectueuse de toute hétérodoxie. Mais elle est aussi une démarche individuelle, un retournement de l'être le plus intime, un appel de la transcendance dans la singularité d'une vie. Saint Paul ou saint Augustin ont érigé en modèle spirituel ces moments où meurt leur ancienne vie. Les auteurs du présent volume s'attachent à la conversion sous l'angle plus spécifique de son récit, entendu comme modèle littéraire, souvent autobiographique, et réflexion théologique offerte à autrui. Ils confrontent ce discours de convertis, mais aussi le discours sur eux, aux réalités, individuelles et collectives, religieuses et culturelles, de la conversion, contribuant à préciser la définition de celle-ci.

    Witness to Marvels traces the development of a unique genre of Sufi-inspired Bengali romances called pir kathas, whose protagonists and plots are wholly fictive. For five centuries these fabulations have parodied indigenous and Hindu textual traditions. Both mimicking and mocking, these parodies adopted a subjunctive tone, exploring a magical world of ‘what-if’. They created an Islam-inflected space within a traditional Bengali cultural environment without trying to legislate what ideally ‘should be’ according to tropes common to Islamic history, theology, and law. The tales’ discursive arena, the imaginaire, delineated the realm of possibility for how these tales might exercise the imagination to integrate Hindu and Islamic cosmologies. Tales insinuated themselves into locally relevant discourses through elaborate intertextual connections, subtly shifting presuppositions about the way the world works and what counts as religious authority. As Allah looked on from heaven, the tales routinely assigned Sufi saints, both pirs and bibis, to the pivotal role of avatar, the periodic descent of divinity, equating them to the Hindu god Narayan. Adopting a semiotic strategy to interpret these tales yields a bold new perspective on the subtle ways Islam assumed its distinctive form in Bengal and suggests how we need to reimagine conversion in this region.

    Explores the intersection and history of American literary realism and the performance of spiritual and racial embodiment. Recovering a series of ecstatic performances in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American realism, Realist Ecstasy travels from camp meetings to Native American ghost dances to storefront church revivals to explore realism’s relationship to spiritual experience. In her approach to realism as both an unruly archive of performance and a wide-ranging repertoire of media practices—including literature, photography, audio recording, and early film—Lindsay V. Reckson argues that the real was repetitively enacted and reenacted through bodily practice. Realist Ecstasy demonstrates how the realist imagining of possessed bodies helped construct and naturalize racial difference, while excavating the complex, shifting, and dynamic possibilities embedded in ecstatic performance: its production of new and immanent forms of being beside. Across her readings of Stephen Crane, James Weldon Johnson, and Nella Larsen, among others, Reckson triangulates secularism, realism, and racial formation in the post-Reconstruction moment. Realist Ecstasy shows how post-Reconstruction realist texts mobilized gestures—especially the gestures associated with religious ecstasy—to racialize secularism itself. Reckson offers us a distinctly new vision of American realism as a performative practice, a sustained account of how performance lives in and through literary archives, and a rich sense of how closely secularization and racialization were linked in Jim Crow America.

  11. Outils pédagogiques ou armes politiques ?. Mettre en scène la conversion dans et avec les catéchismes mexicains (xvie-xixe siècle)

    À l'époque coloniale, l'évangélisation de la Nouvelle Espagne s'est fondée sur l'enseignement d'un corpus de textes limité, réuni dans des Doctrinas christianas traduites en langues indiennes et rapidement imprimées en terres américaines. Tandis que les prières principales et les listes de préceptes à respecter étaient enseignées, l'objectif est ici de s'interroger sur la nature des signes qui permettaient dès lors aux néophytes de rendre compte, de façon ostensible, de leur conversion. Cherchant des traces de ces nouveaux rapports à la mémoire, à la prière, au corps et plus généralement à la foi, c'est sur les outils employés pour inculquer les textes catholiques à l'époque coloniale que nous pouvons nous appuyer. De nature pictographique, les catéchismes en images ayant circulé dès la fin du xvie siècle nous livrent en effet divers indices relatifs à la façon dont de nouveaux comportements et attitudes corporelles ont été transmis. Qui plus est, au moins l'un de ces manuscrits a été, dans un deuxième temps, manipulé par les Indiens afin de revendiquer leur statut de converti. Nous verrons ainsi comment d'outils initialement pédagogiques, certains catéchismes se sont transformés en armes stratégiques. In the colonial era, the evangelization of New Spain was based on the teaching of a limited body of texts, assembled in Doctrinas Christianas translated into Amerindian languages and quickly printed on American soil. While missionaries taught the Indians the main prayers and lists of precepts to be respected, the objective of this essay is to question the nature of the signs that allowed the neophytes to recognize their own conversion. In identifying traces of new relationships to memory, prayer, body and more generally to the Faith, this research is based on the tools used to inculcate Catholic texts in the colonial era. Catechisms in pictures circulating since the end of the 16th century provide clues for understanding how Catholic priests instilled new behaviours and bodily attitudes in their Indian neophytes. Furthermore, at least one of these manuscripts was later manipulated by the Indians to claim their convert status, in this way converting pedagogical tools into strategic weapons.

    In 2017, the Finnish Immigration Service received approximately 1,000 asylum applications and appeals based on conversion from Islam to Christianity. The applications claimed that converted asylum seekers would face mortal danger if returned to their countries of origin. The applications posed an unprecedented dilemma for the Finnish Immigration Service: how was it, as a secular state institution, to evaluate these claims of conversion? This question also became an object of significant public and media debate. In this article, I examine how journalists writing for a religious media publication, Kirkko ja kaupunki, the newspaper of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Helsinki region, sought to intervene in the debate on asylum seekers' conversions. I focus my analysis on one central line of argument in their reporting: a call for the better- inclusion of and engagement with religious expertise on Christianity by the Finnish Immigration Service when evaluating conversion-based asylum applications and appeals. I show that this call both positioned religious expertise as an antidote to the challenges that efforts to evaluate conversion-based asylum appeals posed to Finnish Immigration Service employees in this time period, and constituted expertise as a site for negotiations over the ‘proper' relationship between religion and state.

    Erich Auerbach's lack of interest in engaging with non-Western contexts and literatures has often led critics to identify varying degrees of Eurocentric bias in his work. This perception of bias obfuscates the depths of Auerbach's thought regarding the non-European, who does have a central place in Auerbach's overall vision, not only of philology and Western literature, but also of humanism and historical progress generally. This articles accounts for the centrality of the non-European in Auerbach's notion of realism.

    Both Buddhism and Jainism from their inception were missionary religions, engaged in spreading their faith through conversions. Unlike the Jains, the Buddhists developed a master-narrative in which, at a council of learned monks, it was agreed to dispatch some of their members to every corner of the world to convert the inhabitants to Buddhism. Read carefully, the accounts of the success of these ventures preserved in the Pali sources raise questions with surprisingly far-reaching implications. Through a comparison with Jain stories, this article highlights the distinctiveness of Buddhist conversion stories and puzzles over their unusual attitudes towards preaching, authoritative texts, and the lay community.

    This essay provides an overview of the theory, methodology, and technical innovation driving the creation of Distant Reading Early Modernity (DREaM), a digital humanities platform that makes a massive corpus of early modern texts amenable for use with macro-scale analytical tools. Key focus areas include (i) introduction to DREaM and the Early Modern Conversions project, (ii) the argument for our approach to the early modern archive, (iii) overview of the digital tools available through DREaM-Voyant, (iv) the making of DREaM, and solutions to technical problems deriving from non-standardized spelling.

    The ancient Greek novel introduced to the history of literature a new topos: the “complex of emotions.” This became a staple of storytelling and remains widely in use across a variety of genres to the present day. The Hellenistic Jewish text Joseph and Aseneth employs this topos in at least three passages, where it draws attention to the cognitive-emotional aspect of the heroine’s conversion. This is interesting for what it contributes to our understanding of the genre of Aseneth, but it also has social-historical implications. In particular, it supports the idea that Aseneth reflects concerns about Gentile partners in Jewish-Gentile marriages, that Gentile partners might convert out of expedience or that they might be less than fully committed to abandoning “idolatrous” attachments. The representations of deep, grievous, and complex emotions in Aseneth’s transformational turn from idolatry to monolatry, then, might play a psychagogic role for the Gentile reader interested in marrying a Jewish person.

  22. The Iudai͂os in Romans

    Pauline scholars have read ὁ Ἰουδαῖος in Romans as a native-born Jew who stands over and against τὰ ἔθνη ("the nations," or "gentiles"). The ethnonym Ἰουδαῖος, however, applied also to proselytes, to non-Jews who became Jews. Paul lived in a world in which Ἰουδαῖος applied to people Paul did not accept as Ἰουδαῖοι. In Paul's view, being a Ἰουδαῖος is an immutable, genealogical identity unavailable to anyone not born a Ἰουδαῖος. In some cases, the Ἰουδαῖος in Romans 1-3 is a so-called (or self-styled) "Jew." Paul demonstrates how gentiles' efforts at becoming a Jew (sans scare quotes) nevertheless leaves them closer to the gentile-as-gentile than to the native-born Jew.
