Im Fokus dieses Bandes steht das Publikum von Helden und ihren Taten, das anders als die vielfältigen Strategien der Heroisierung bisher nur sehr wenig wissenschaftliche Aufmerksamkeit erfahren hat. Genauso nämlich wie Held(inn)en nicht ohne Erzählungen existieren, existieren sie nicht ohne Publikum. Jede heroische Figur benötigt eine Interpretationsgemeinschaft, in der Heldenerzählungen einen Resonanzraum finden und für die sie als Held(in) fungiert. Ein Held ist immer ein Held für jemanden und benötigt ein zumindest zur (vielleicht auch widerwilligen) Akzeptanz, wenn nicht sogar Bewunderung oder Verehrung bereites Publikum. Der Held oder die Heldin schreibt sich im Fall der Selbstheroisierung (oft im wörtlichen Sinne) in einen politischen, sozialen oder kulturellen Erwartungshorizont, eine soziale Figuration im Sinne Norbert Elias', ein, oder wird im Fall der Fremdheroisierung in solch einen Erwartungshorizont eingeschrieben. Fehlt ein solcher Erwartungshorizont, laufen alle Versuche der heroisierenden Selbst- und Fremdinszenierung ins Leere: Die Figur ist dann kein Held, weil es niemanden gibt, der sie als solchen akzeptiert. Ist der Erwartungshorizont aber gegeben, werden die Figuren für ihre Interpretationsgemeinschaften zu Held(inn)en.

"Our contemporary culture is communicating ever-increasingly through the visual, through film, and through music. This makes it ever more urgent for theologians to explore the resources of art for enriching our understanding and experience of the Judeo-Christian tradition. Annunciations: Sacred Music for the twenty-First Century, edited by George Corbett, answers this need, evaluating the relationship between the sacred and the composition, performance, and appreciation of music. Through the theme of 'annunciations', this volume interrogates how, when, why, through and to whom God communicates in the Old and New Testaments. In doing so, it tackles the intimate relationship between Scriptural reflection and musical practice in the past, its present condition, and what the future might hold. Annunciations comprises three parts. Part I sets out flexible theological and compositional frameworks for a constructive relationship between the sacred and music. Part II presents the reflections of theologians and composers involved in collaborating on new pieces of sacred choral music, alongside the six new scores and links to the recordings. Part III considers the reality of programming and performing sacred works today. This volume provides an indispensable resource for scholars and artists working at the interface between theology and the arts, and for those involved in sacred music. However, it will also be of interest to anyone concerned with the ways in which the Divine communicates through word and artistry to humanity."--Publisher's website.

"This book is the result of collaborations between international researchers who have focused on diverse processes of democratic participation-and exclusion-that are intimately involved with ritual acts and complexes. The main question integrating the collection concerns the ways in which the performative qualities of ritual resources achieve their potential as forms of personal and political empowerment in our changing world. The authors seek to define the key terms "ritual" and "democracy" with reference to fieldwork-informed case studies from selected communities. They critically address democracy as a concept in a time of climate crisis, nationalism, religious re-traditionalizing, fake news and aspirational fascism. Furthermore, they discuss ways in which ritualized practices such as memorial gatherings, festivals, protest actions, pilgrimages and worship services give rise to modes of feeling, processes of representation, and patterns of interaction in which democratic explorations are given pride of place."--
