Asceticism, so it is argued in this volume, is a modern category. The ubiquitous cult of the body, of fitness and diet equally evokes the ongoing success of ascetic practices and beliefs. Nostalgic memories of hardship and discipline in the army, youth movements or boarding schools remain as present as the fashionable irritation with the presumed modern-day laziness. In the very texture of contemporary culture, age-old asceticism proves to be remarkably alive. Old ascetic forms were remoulded to serve modern desires for personal authenticity, an authenticity that disconnected asceticism in the course of the nineteenth century from two traditions that had underpinned it since classical antiquity: the public, republican austerity of antiquity and the private, religious asceticism of Christianity. Exploring various aspects such as the history of the body, of aesthetics, science, and social thought in several European countries (Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria and Belgium), the authors show that modern asceticism remains a deeply ambivalent category. Apart from self-realisation, classical and religious examples continue to haunt the ascetic mind.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Described as 'the hand of God', as 'pathological' or even as 'a clever trick', exceptional corporeal phenomena such as miraculous cures, stigmata, and incorrupt corpses have triggered heated debates in the past. Depending on their definition as either 'supernatural', 'psycho-somatic' or 'fraudulent', different authorities have sought to explain these enigmatic occurrences by stimulating inquiries and claiming jurisdiction over them. As a consequence, separate ecclesiastic and medical forms of expertise emerged on these issues in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This incommensurability has since echoed in historical analyses of paranormal events. In this book the emphasis is not placed solely on the debates within one or the other epistemological system (science or religion), but also on the crossovers and collaborations between them. Religion and science developed through a process of interaction. A changing religious climate and new religious currents provided new cases for study. Religious phenomena inspired new medical approaches such as the healing power of faith.New medical findings could be adopted to oppose new messiahs and medical imagery came to inspire the campaigns of opponents of aberrant of religious currents. Sign or Symptom? explores how the evolutions within religion and science influenced each other, a productive interaction that has been hidden from view until now. Contributors Ellen Amster (McMaster University), Nicole Edelman (Universite de Paris-Ouest-Nanterre), Maria Heidegger (Universitat Innsbruck), Mary Heimann (Cardiff University), Paula Kane (University of Pittsburgh), Sofie Lachapelle (University of Guelph), Tiago Pires Marques (Universidade de Coimbra), Tine Van Osselaer (Universiteit Antwerpen) Religion and science on paranormal events. 'Sign or Symptom?' explores how the evolutions within religion and science influenced each other, a productive interaction that has been hidden from view until now.

Paperback, Nederlands, originele uitgeversomslag, 17,5x24,7 cm., 320 pp. ISBN 9789058673442. Symbolae Facultatis Litterarum Lovaniensis - Series B : 32. De negentiende eeuw was een eeuw van vooruitgang en expansie, en daardoor ook van optimisme. Er leek geen beperking te zijn aan de mogelijkheden die de mens in zijn evolutie kon bereiken. Toch had de medaille ook een keerzijde en groeide de bezorgdheid over wat er in de evolutie zoal mis kon lopen. Het codewoord dat deze bezorgdheid zou domineren en ontsluiten, was 'degeneratie'. Artsen en antropologen, kunstenaars en psychologen, en vele anderen bogen zich vanaf 1860 over het fenomeen, ook in Belgie. 0 g.
