SUMMARY:Commitments to Medieval Mystical Texts within Contemporary Contexts

TZID:Europe/Brussels
LOCATION:Leuven\, Belgium
DESCRIPTION:<p>Why do we\, as contemporary scholars within the field of Christian&nbsp\;spirituality\, privilege the reading of medieval mystical texts as a critical&nbsp\;mainstay of our focus? How do we define &nbsp\;their &nbsp\;historical (dis)continuity&nbsp\;with our contemporary contexts and their ability to uniquely address&nbsp\;relevant issues for readers today? These &nbsp\;meta-questions on the&nbsp\;meaningfulness of our &nbsp\;scholarship seek to encourage critical reflection&nbsp\;on our distinct approaches to the medieval texts: historical\, literary\,&nbsp\;theological &nbsp\;hermeneutical\, and &nbsp\;interdisciplinary praxis-based approaches\, as well as on our scholarly and personal relations to others&nbsp\;(academy\, Church and society) mediated by such texts. At the intersection&nbsp\;of questions of meaningfulness mutually &nbsp\; interacting with our&nbsp\;diverging methodologies\, this conference aims to provide a fruitful\,&nbsp\;dialogical forum in which we may better encounter strengths and/or&nbsp\;weaknesses of our own presumptions in reading these mystical texts.<br><br>Contact:</p>\n<p>Satoshi Kikuchi&nbsp\;satoshi.kikuchi@theo.kuleuven.be&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Catholic&nbsp\;University of Leuven</p>\n<p>Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies</p>\n<p>Sint-Michielsstraat 4 box 3101</p>\n<p>3000 Leuven\, Belgium</p>
