Abstract

Recent research has made a strong case for the view that Early Christian communities, sociologically considered, functioned as voluntary religious associations. This is similar to the practice of many other cultic associations in the Greco-Roman world of the first century CE. Building upon this new approach, along with a critical interpretation of all available sources, this book discusses the social and religio-historical background of the weekly gatherings of Christians and presents a fresh reconstruction of how the weekly gathering originated and developed in both form and content. The topics studied here include the origins of the observance of Sunday as the weekly Christian feast-day, the shape and meaning of the weekly gatherings of the Christian communities, and the rise of customs such as preaching, praying, singing, and the reading of texts in these meetings.

Abstract

Souvent méconnues, les sacre rappresentazioni naissent à Florence, au début du XVe siècle, sous l'impulsion des dominicains de Saint-Marc. Les buts de ce théâtre sont d'abord pédagogiques. Les enfants sont, à cette époque, au centre d'intérêts civils et religieux importants : il s'agit d'en faire de bons citoyens et de bons chrétiens. Mais les auteurs de sacre rappresentazioni sont des laïcs. Artisans ou fonctionnaires de l'État, leurs intérêts privés et leurs liens d'amitié les rattachent souvent aux Médicis. La représentation sacrée cèle alors et nourrit parfois un discours politique. Cette étude, résolument interdisciplinaire, retrace l'histoire de ce théâtre et plonge le lecteur dans l'esprit d'une époque. Elle décrypte les modes de pensée et les enjeux culturels ou politiques de ceux qui ont inauguré la Renaissance en Europe. Often unknown, the sacre rappresentazioni first appeared in Florence at the beginning of the 15th Century under the impetus of the Dominicans of Saint Marc. The objectives of this theatre are first and foremost pedagogical. In this time period, children are at the centre of civil and religious interests: the idea was to make them into good citizens and good Christians. But the authors of the sacre rappresentazioni are lay people. Artisans and servants of the State, their private interests and their friendship links often attach them to the Medicis… The sacred representation thus conceals and feeds a discourse that is occasionally political. This study, resolutely interdisciplinary, retraces the history of this theatre and puts the reader in the spirit of the time. It decodes the modes of thought and the cultural and political issues of those who inaugurated the Renaissance in Europe.

Abstract

The monograph illustrates the festive year of Slovenes in the Canale Valley from the perspective of current ritualistic practices (still in use today). The identifying elements of the Slovenian linguistic community are recognizable in the implementation of various (popular) religious practices by the local population. The author presents the rituals (with selected prayer formulas), described as an integral part of their life by Slovenian-speaking informants – all of whom are indigenous, native people of the Canale Valley – that was described, from the point of view of experts in the fields (e.g. Kuret 1989) as typical of the Slovenian community in general. Monografija prinaša pregled ljudskega obredja prebivalstva Kanalske doline, ki ga avtorica prepoznava kot pomemben identifikacijski element tamkajšnje slovenske jezikovne skupnosti. Posebna pozornost je namenjena še v poznih 90. letih 20. stoletja živemu obrednemu »umivanju lobanje pokojnika«, o katerega razširjenosti med Slovenci so v preteklosti pisali že E. Gasparini (1952), M. Matičetov (1955) in H. Maister (1975), zapisi o prisotnosti tovrstnega obrednega umivanja v Srbiji in Makedoniji (E. Schneeweis 1935) pa namigujejo na morebitno vezanost obredja na širši južnoslovanski prostor. Knjiga je izšla ob finančni podpori Gorske skupnosti za Guminsko, Železno in Kanalsko dolino.

Abstract

Elk jaar opnieuw worden in Vlaanderen en Nederland - en de rest van de wereld - verscheidene feesten massal en uitbundig gevierd: Nieuwjaar, Valentijn, Pasen, Halloween, Sinterklaas, Kerstmis, ... Toch weten weinig mensen wat we precies vieren bij deze jaarfeesten. Waarom gaat iedereen precies bij carnaval uit de bol? Wie was de Valentijn die zijn naam leende aan Valentijnsdag? Waarom hangt er een vis aan 1 april? Of wat heeft een haas te maken met Pasen? Is er een verband tussen Allerheiligen en Halloween? En hoe valt de forse opmars van Halloween te verklaren, terwijl de klad zit in folklore? Heeft Sinterklaas echt bestaan? Waarom bengelen er ballen in de kerstboom? Zijn deze feesten heidens of christelijk van oorsprong en worden ze ook gevierd in andere wereldgodsdiensten?
