  Maternal Sacrifice in Jewish Culture

  Rethinking Sacrifice from a Maternal Perspective in Religion, Art, and Culture

  Rethinking Nancy Jay’s opposition between sacrifice and childbirth in what she defines a “remedy for having been born of woman”, the conference aims to explore new approaches to the maternal sacrifice as a ritual, as a narrative, and as a metaphor in the context of Jewish culture.

  Maternal Sacrifice in Jewish Culture

  Rethinking Sacrifice from a Maternal Perspective in Religion, Art, and Culture

  The phrase “maternal sacrifice” combines two complex terms entangled in an even more complex dynamic. First of all, “sacrifice”, a word whose definitions have been considered inadequate to describe the multiformity of practices and meanings it evokes as a ritual, as a narrative, and as a metaphor. James Watts distinguishes between “narrative traditions about killing people”, oriented towards an evaluation of killing and murder, and “the ritual killing of animals”, focused on the social functions of ritual and religion (Watts 2011, 8). To those categories a third level can be added that is related to the metaphorical use of the notion of sacrifice as the act of giving up something in order to attain a higher goal.

  Litany in the Arts and Culture

  The litany derives from ancient religious rites. Throughout the ages, however, it spread across many countries and became much more than a mere form of prayer. As has been demonstrated by our recent studies on the litanic forms in European poetry it is possible to reconstruct a cultural and literary map of European regions that traces the level of their participation in and contribution to the litanic tradition. The litanic verse is marked by religious semantics, but it also bears the mark of inter-European divisions, such as those experienced between and within various denominations, countries and nations, as well as the original folk cultures. Therefore, the litany may be of interest to scholars specializing in areas such the emergence of national identities and religious minorities, the crossover between art and religion as well as between music and poetry, the history of liturgy and spiritual life, the cultural exchanges between various nations.

  Le spirituel : concept opératoire en sciences humaines ?

  Débat interdisciplinaire

  Ce colloque se propose de tenter une théorisation de la notion de spirituel afin d'en faire une catégorie scientifique utilisable dans le champ des sciences humaines. Depuis le poststructuralisme, la théorie, notamment littéraire, est devenue experte en matière d'analyse et de remise en question du soubassement idéologique de tout discours. Toutefois, cette « herméneutique du soupçon » (Ricoeur, 1975) se trouve démunie lorsqu'il s'agit d'élaborer une herméneutique « instauratrice de sens » (Ricoeur, 1965) permettant de penser l'humain au-delà de sa matérialité.

  O puro e o impuro

  Hamsa. Journal of Judaic and Islamic Studies, nº 2

  O puro e o impuro constituem-se como categorias estruturantes do islamismo e do judaísmo, abarcando vectores tão díspares como o corpo, a alimentação, o vestuário ou o próprio espaço. O segundo número da revista Hamsa será dedicado a esta temática abrangente, procurando abarcar perspetivas históricas diacrónicas. Neste sentido, de resto, pretende-se potencializar a análise das relações interconfessionais, nas vertentes em que a pureza/impureza se projectam no contacto com o Outro. Vector quenãoapenas respeita às próprias minorias, como também se reflecte na própria Christianitas, através da interiorização desses conceitos e da respectiva aplicação às comunidades minoritárias (como é, por exemplo, o caso da limpeza de sangue).
