Abstract

The author discusses how religious groups, especially Jews, Mormons and Jesuits, were labeled as foreign and constructed as political, moral and national threats in Scandinavia in different periods between c. 1790 and 1960. Key questions are who articulated such opinions, how was the threat depicted, and to what extent did it influence state policies towards these groups. A special focus is given to Norway, because the Constitution of 1814 included a ban against Jews (repelled in 1851) and Jesuits (repelled in 1956), and because Mormons were denied the status of a legal religion until freedom of religion was codified in the Constitution in 1964. The author emphasizes how the construction of religious minorities as perils of society influenced the definition of national identities in all Scandinavia, from the late 18th Century until well after WWII. The argument is that Jews, Mormons and Jesuits all were constructed as "anti-citizens", as opposites of what it meant to be "good" citizens of the nation. The discourse that framed the need for national protection against foreign religious groups was transboundary. Consequently, transnational stereotypes contributed significantly in defining national identities.

Abstract

The Jesuits' colonial legacy in Latin America is well-known. They pioneered an interest in indigenous languages and cultures, compiling dictionaries and writing some of the earliest ethnographies of the region. They also explored the region's natural history and made significant contributions to the development of science and medicine. On their estates and in the missions they introduced new plants, livestock, and agricultural techniques, such as irrigation. In addition, they left a lasting legacy on the region's architecture, art, and music. The volume demonstrates the diversity of Jesuit contributions to Latin American culture. This volume is unique in considering not only the range of Jesuit activities but also the diversity of perspectives from which they may be approached. It includes papers from scholars of history, linguistics, religion, art, architecture, music, medicine and science.

Abstract

"Der Jesuitenorden stand im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert oft in einem scharfen Gegensatz zu den Ortsbischöfen, in Konkurrenz mit anderen gelehrten Orden und im Konflikt mit dem Pfarrklerus, vor allem wegen seiner neuartigen Theologie. Die fünf neu edierten Texte geben darin einen bisher unbekannten Einblick. Sie stammen aus der Feder von prominenten Jansenisten, welche die kirchliche Tradition verteidigten." --back cover

Abstract

In Between Popes, Inquisitors and Princes Jessica Dalton uses extensive, original archival research to provide the first history of a unique and controversial papal privilege that allowed the first Jesuits to absolve heretics in sixteenth-century Italy without involving bishops or inquisitors. Dalton uses the story of this remarkable privilege to reconsider two central aspects of Jesuit history: their role in the Counter-Reformation and their relationship with the papacy. Dalton convincingly argues that, in the aftermath of the Protestant Reformation, the Jesuits were valued collaborators of popes, inquisitors and princes not for their obedience and subservience but rather because they worked with an autonomy and flexibility that allowed them convert heretics where political barriers and popular hostility hindered inquisitors and prelates.

Abstract

James Joyce was educated almost exclusively by the Jesuits; this education and these priests make their appearance across Joyce's oeuvre. This dynamic has never been properly explicated or rigorously explored. Using Joyce's religious education and psychoanalytic theories of depression and paranoia, this book opens radical new possibilities for reading Joyce's fiction. It takes readers through some of the canon's most well-read texts and produces bold, fresh new readings. By placing these readings in light of Jesuit religious practice - in particular, the Spiritual Exercises all Jesuit priests and many students undergo - the book shows how Joyce's deepest concerns about truth, literature, and love were shaped by these religious practices and texts. Joyce worked out his answers to these questions in his own texts, largely by forcing his readers to encounter, and perhaps answer, those questions themselves. Reading Joyce is a challenge not only in terms of interpretation but of experience - the confusion, boredom, and even paranoia readers feel when making their way through these texts.

Abstract

From Eusebio Kino to Daniel Berrigan, and from colonial New England to contemporary Seattle, Jesuits have built and disrupted institutions in ways that have fundamentally shaped the Catholic Church and American society. As Catherine O’Donnell demonstrates, Jesuits in French, Spanish, and British colonies were both evangelists and agents of empire. John Carroll envisioned an American church integrated with Protestant neighbors during the early years of the republic; nineteenth-century Jesuits, many of them immigrants, rejected Carroll’s ethos and created a distinct Catholic infrastructure of schools, colleges, and allegiances. The twentieth century involved Jesuits first in American war efforts and papal critiques of modernity, and then (in accord with the leadership of John Courtney Murray and Pedro Arrupe) in a rethinking of their relationship to modernity, to other faiths, and to earthly injustice. O’Donnell’s narrative concludes with a brief discussion of Jesuits’ declining numbers, as well as their response to their slaveholding past and involvement in clerical sexual abuse.

Abstract

En 1957, le père Fraisse est aumônier d’étudiants à Lyon. Personnalité originale, il a eu un parcours exceptionnel de résistant et de combattant en 1940 et 1944-45. Sans avoir été alerté auparavant, il est sanctionné par le Visiteur de la Compagnie qui l’accuse de ne pas donner aux étudiants le sens de l’autorité hiérarchique. Il est exilé à Nice avec interdiction de s’occuper d’étudiants et de tout ministère à Lyon. Fin 1960, son retour à Lyon n’est qu’une demi-mesure : il ne sera jamais réhabilité et plusieurs affaires douloureuses montrent qu’il est resté suspect aux yeux de certains de ses confrères. Son cas est un exemple frappant de l’impact sur l’Eglise de France du raidissement romain à la fin du pontificat de Pie XII. En effet, une pratique « totalitaire » de l’obéissance religieuse a souvent eu de lourdes conséquences humaines. Cette autorité condamnait, souvent sur la base de dénonciations, sans possibilité pour l’accusé de connaitre son dossier (secret) et donc de se défendre. L’expérience douloureuse du P. Fraisse met en lumière certains fonctionnements d’une Eglise de guerre froide qui pouvaient provoquer de graves abus. Son ami et défenseur le P. Ganne opposait la conception d’une autorité respectueuse de la justice et des droits de la conscience, conscience chère à Newman qui était une référence majeure pour le P. Fraisse. Et il prêchait aussi une Eglise ouverte au monde Aujourd’hui le cléricalisme est mis en question : la vie du P. Fraisse nous semble y avoir échappé. Son comportement, sa théologie mais aussi l’importance de ses amitiés avec des laïcs et leur rôle dans l’élaboration de sa pensée anticipent sur l’avenir. Témoins les deux premiers livres posthumes du P. Ganne qu’il a publiés, non sans difficultés : Qui dites-vous que je suis ? Leçons sur le Christ et Le don de l’Esprit Leçons sur l’Esprit saint. In 1957, Father Fraisse was a student chaplain in Lyon. An original personality, he had had an exceptional career as a Resistance fighter…

Abstract

In A Jewish Jesuit in the Eastern Mediterranean, Robert Clines retraces the conversion and missionary career of Giovanni Battista Eliano, the only Jewish-born member of the Society of Jesus. He highlights the lived experience of conversion, and how converts dealt with others' skepticism of their motives. Clines uses primary sources, including Eliano's personal letters, missionary reports, and autobiography, together with scholarship on conversion in the early modern Mediterranean world to illustrate how false and sincere conversion often mirrored each other in outward performance. Devout converts were not readily taken at face value and needed to prove themselves in the moment and over the course of their lifetimes. Consequently, Eliano's story underscores that the mystical, introspective nature of religious belief and the formulation of new spiritual selves came into direct confrontation with the ways in which converts needed to present themselves to others in an age of political and religious turmoil.

Abstract

"Les jésuites ont la réputation de s'adresser d'abord aux milieux sociaux les plus favorisés. Cela s'explique aisément si l'on considère l'implication forte des jésuites, dès leur fondation, dans les collèges, à une époque où l'enseignement de ce niveau ne concernait qu'une toute petite minorité. Mais cela correspond-il à la réalité? Les jésuites sont-ils vraiment un ordre pour les élites? Quelle place tiennent, dans leurs préoccupations, les populations les plus modestes et, parmi elles, celles qui connaissent de grandes précarités? Si, comme on le verra, on peut bien détecter dans l'histoire de la Compagnie un intérêt pour les pauvres, cela fait-il partie de l'ADN des jésuites, ou bien s'agit-il d'un élément qui dépend essentiellement du charisme de certains de ses membres? Autrement dit, la présence aux populations les moins favorisées fait-elle partie de la mission des jésuites, au point qu'elle doive être considérée comme un trait de leur identité? Ce livre tente de répondre à ces deux questions en parcourant l'histoire des jésuites, depuis leur fondation jusqu'à maintenant." --
