Neste artigo, a busca pelas origens das principais personagens femininas parodiadas em Caim e O Evangelho segundo Jesus Cristo, de José Saramago, em comparação à sua reficcionalização, visa analisar a denúncia sobre como as passagens e os protótipos a que estão circunscritas legaram uma marca cultural na representação reduzida e limitante da mulher. Analisa-se como o autor esmiúça os mitos que moldam nossa realidade, ao ficcionalizar versões possíveis das mulheres amiúde retratadas como seres diabólicos, envoltos em feitiços e mistérios, ou relegadas a um segundo plano em que a obediência é via única para a sagração.

The subject of the article is an analysis of Eliza Orzeszkowa's views on the situation of women in the second half of the 19th century and the social roles assigned to them. The epistolary novel Maria, which was juxtaposed with the dissertation A few words about women, was the main focus of the analysis. In the introduction to the novel, Orzeszkowa referred to Maria as Marta's sister, whom she follows. In this way she referred to her most famous emancipation novel. Maria, considered by researchers to be one of the writer's least successful works, gives the impression of being far from any emancipatory assumptions. However, behind the lofty aspiration of an individual to devote themselves to the idea, there are real problems that many women of that era, including Orzeszkowa herself, had to deal with.

En este artículo nos proponemos destacar la originalidad de las inscripciones árabes que adornan el arco de la llamada Casa del Conde de Toledo, fechadas en el siglo XV. La principal inscripción del arco es una oración a Santa María escrita en aljamiado, lengua romance con grafía árabe muy elaborada, y las secundarias, más legibles, repiten ora en aljamiado, ora en árabe los nombres de Jesús y de Santa María. Además, en el segmento en árabe, Jesús está nombrado en su versión musulmana, ʿĪsā, y se insiste en su filiación con María como una reminiscencia de uno de los principales desacuerdos entre islam y cristianismo en torno a la figura de Jesús. A partir de una lectura paralela a la de Rodrigo Amador de los Ríos, proponemos un análisis epigráfico y lingüístico, antes de estudiar el contenido y el sentido de los textos. Analizando el contexto, la relación entre artesano y comitente, y comparando con otras inscripciones mudéjares que plantean problemáticas similares, acabamos por considerar estas inscripciones como un reflejo de la voluntad por parte de los comitentes cristianos de sintetizar varias tradiciones religiosas y culturales. No pensamos sin embargo que haya que entender esta conciliación entre islam y cristianismo como la expresión de una apertura hacia creencias ajenas sino más bien como un intento hegemónico de abarcar a todos debajo del poder cristiano.

El presente artículo de reflexión tiene por objetivo examinar algunos de los vasos comunicantes que unen las historias de Nay y María. La conversión al catolicismo, el destierro, la muerte y el cumplimiento de las voluntades patriarcales, son las variables que permiten a Jorge Isaacs crear un mundo posible en el que se mezclan razas y se contempla al subalterno —africano— con obligaciones, pero también con derechos en Colombia durante el siglo XIX.

La constitución dogmática sobre la Iglesia del concilio Vaticano II profundiza en las relaciones entre la Tercera Persona de la Santísima Trinidad y la Virgen María. La santidad original de la Virgen, formada por el Espíritu Santo como nueva criatura, requerirá de ella una actitud activa y consciente, como colaboradora única en su obra. De este modo, la Madre de Dios aparece con las notas de “Casa de Dios”, “Theotokos” y “Madre de la Iglesia”. La obra de H. Mühlen se convierte en referencia canónica obligada para la recta comprensión de esa relación pneumatológica.

En la literatura medieval es posible encontrar una actitud ambivalente ante los personajes marginales, que fluctúa entre el rechazo, por temor, y la acogida, al ser los marginados los sujetos a quienes puede dirigirse la práctica de muchas virtudes cristianas. Con base en lo anterior, en el presente artículo se propone analizar esa ambivalencia, a partir de la tensión entre individuo y colectividad, en cuanto que los individuos sufren procesos de aislamiento que tienden a resolverse con su reintegración a la comunidad. El corpus para este análisis está conformado por la producción poética de Gonzalo de Berceo y el Libro de los tres reyes de Oriente. La estructura del artículo presenta una tipología de estos procesos que considera dos factores: el primero, el carácter virtuoso o pecaminoso de los individuos marginales y de sus comunidades; el segundo, la volición u obligación que caracteriza al aislamiento de cada personaje. Con la combinación de estos factores se plantean cuatro categorías de aislamiento: a) obligatorio pecaminoso, b) voluntario pecaminoso, c) obligatorio virtuoso, y d) voluntario virtuoso. A partir de la exposición de algunas ocurrencias en el corpus, que sirven como casos modélicos de cada categoría, el artículo se dirige al análisis de dos personajes excepcionales que, pese a compartir rasgos y ser fundacionales para el planteamiento ideológico ambivalente de la marginalidad en las obras, sufren procesos que salen del paradigma propuesto: Cristo y María.

The way in which a culture understands itself and its relationship with the sacred shapes not only religious life, but also a way of being in the world. The same can be said in the opposite direction: the religious sphere can be captured in some anthropomorphism to justify a position that excludes. Taking this premise into account, we can look at the position of women in the early church, the roles they played, and how and why the relevance of their performance was minimized through misogyny that occurs in different contexts of Christianity as a historical construction. By misogyny we understand a posture that engenders forms of discourse and practice that transform women into objects. Anchored in religious discourse in order to legitimize male hegemony, misogyny established a stereotype justifying female inferiority and submission. By understanding woman in the role Mary had as a woman and mother in the history and discourse of salvation, specifically in the incarnation, we can propose a positive perspective that goes beyond history and corrects some of the distortions of historicism with regard to the role of women.

The article presents the question of the epistemological justification of spiritual Mariology, also called Marian spirituality; so as to present it in a systematic way as a science, as it pertains, on the one hand, to Mariology, and, on the other, to the field of spiritual theology which needs to be expressed in relation to the experience of faith and Christian life of Mary of Nazareth. Starting from the Mariological renewal brought about by the Second Vatican Council, the author develops the epistemological foundations of spiritual Mariology which, analysing the experience of faith lived by the Blessed Virgin Mary as they appear in the revealed facts and in dogmatic theology, present its spiritual value, either at an exemplary level, as a model for the Church and for the individual Christian, or at the level of mediation and help in achieving the goals of the Christian journey, as Mary intercedes for us with God from heaven.

Nello studio presentato della pericope Mt 1,18-25 l’Autore cerca delle risposte alle domande che seguono. L’Evangelista non vuole forse dire in essa che Giuseppe che esegue l’ordine del Signore pronunciato dall’angelo (1,24-25) si lascia già guidare dalla giustizia evangelica, chiamata in seguito da Gesù «giustizia superiore» (5,20)? Se è così, non lo indica forse qui come tipo ideale di Israelita biblico giusto che vive la volontà di Dio per coloro che sarebbero voluti divenire discepoli del Messia e Figlio di Dio, che desiderano vivere una «giustizia superiore» nella Chiesa da Lui edificata (16,18)? E quindi Matteo non vuole con ciò dire che il processo di metanoia, che Giuseppe visse nell’incontro con il Verbo di Dio, è l’anticipazione del cammino di metanoia della Buona Novella predicata da Gesù ai suoi discepoli (4,17), e tramite gli stessi, a tutti i popoli fino alla fine del mondo (28,16-20)? Lo studio esegetico-teologico condotto consente di constatare che l’Evangelista Matteo in tale evento mostra effettivamente Giuseppe che visse la sua metanoia personale, sotto l’influenza della Parola del Signore udita e, grazie ad essa, divenne il tipo ideale di uomo di giustizia evangelica per coloro che nel futuro, sotto l’influenza del Vangelo della «giustizia superiore» predicato da Gesù, avrebbero desiderato divenire discepoli di Emmanuele e Salvatore nella Chiesa da Lui edificata.

In continuity with the interdisciplinary research path developed by the Pontifical Faculty of Educational Sciences «Auxilium» around the year 2000, the present contribution proposes to study more deeply the educational dimension of Mary's motherhood of Jesus and its exemplary model for the pastoral practices of the Church. Indeed, educational practices structurally belong to human motherhood; the relation between Mary and the Son cannot be an exception, since in the Incarnation God brought everything that is genuinely human to its fullness. The study proceeds by taking into consideration the New Testament text and interpreting it according to the indications offered by Paul VI in Marialis Cultus, keeping in mind the contribution of the human sciences and the situation of the contemporary world.

This document is a comparative reading about La hoguera lame mi piel con cariño de perro, by Adelayda Fernández, and María by Jorge Isaacs. La hoguera is a novel that rescues Nay and Sundiata (Juan Ángel), characters of María. Fernandez gives them a new life in the valley of the Cauca river and the Colombian Pacific. The author responds with a counter-writing to the racial harmony of main founding novel in Latin America of XIX century, and has a contribution from Afro-Colombian communities to the resistance and reconstruction of national history.

The article includes a comment on the passage of the Gospel of Luke 1, 26-38 (The Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary), analyzing it verbatim based on the Syriac text of Peshitta with the transcription of the Khabouris Codex by Stephen P. Silver and the writing style of the Chaldean and Assyrian Churches.

Una línea de la investigación moderna sobre la historia de la formación del Corán lo presenta como una obra literaria propia del contexto de la Antigüedad tardía y no como literatura exclusivamente islámica. La literatura apócrifa cristiana, presente en este contexto, llegó a formar parte del contenido coránico. Esta presencia no fue un mero préstamo literario, sino que el Corán, por medio de recursos estilísticos, re-contextualizó los textos cristianos ofreciendo su propia versión de las figuras de Jesús y María. Esta utilización de la Literatura apócrifa cristiana está especialmente presente en las suras 3 y 19 del Corán que relatan la infancia de María, la Anunciación, el nacimiento de Jesús y su infancia.

More than 70 topographic profiles of 34 large lunar maria and basins were constructed and studied in order to obtain quantitative values of the parameters that characterize these formations, to identify patterns and features of their relief. The dependence of the absolute height of the bottom and the depth of the basins on latitude, longitude, size and relative age has been investigated. The absolute height of the bottom of the formations in the visible hemisphere, as expected, is less than in the opposite hemisphere. In the longitudinal direction, there is a tendency for the depth of the basins to increase in the direction from the central meridian to the 180 meridian (from the center of the near side hemisphere to the center of the far side hemisphere). The ridges of the ramparts throughout each of the basins often have different heights. Depending on this difference in the heights of the ridges of the ramparts, three groups of basins are distinguished, which differ in height. It is assumed that the greater the height difference of the ridges of the ramparts, the more oblique was the fall of the impactor. The correlation of the above parameters with the relative age was not found in this study. Morphometric studies of impact ring structures on the Moon and their interpretation suggest that in the early evolutionary epoch of the lunar surface in the period of about 4.4–4.0 billion years, the main impactors were bodies of cometary nature from the Kuiper Belt or from the Oort Cloud.

El presente artículo de reflexión se propone examinar los puntos de contacto existentes entre estas dos novelas fundacionales de la literatura del Valle del Cauca colombiano. Para tal fin, se analizarán los siguientes ejes de indagación: el idilio romántico, la presencia de lo agrario y las alusiones a lo urbano, la defensa de los valores católicos y la figuración de los negros en un contexto clasista y patriarcal.

The article presents a Marian interpretation of the encyclical Fratelli tutti - "All Brothers and Sisters", following the suggestion of Pope Francis who hopes for a renewal of the Church in the light of Mary's motherhood; a model of welcome and service. Mary's motherhood allows, in fact, to refl ect on the Christological incentives of universal brethren, centred on the paschal mystery of the Son, in the sense of the Incarnation. In this light, her example as a woman of the new covenant represents the highest example of self-giving love, of openness to others, with the awareness that we have all been elected and sanctifi ed in Christ through the Spirit, as children and brothers and sisters in faith. Her generative and welcoming faith is a sign of the new humanity that is reborn from water and the Spirit and which bears in her depths an imprint of the bonds of universal brotherhood that Christ Jesus brought to earth.

The photographs of women activists in Fascist War on Women. Facts from Italian Gaols, a pamphlet published in England in the mid-1930s, remind us of Fascism’s hidden and sustained violence against alternative subjects and experiences. While analyzing the space opened by the gaze of these vulnerable subjects, the essay reflects on photography’s heuristic value for a critical understanding of history and citizenship. As a resistant material, photography rescues a forgotten past and interrogates our collective memory. As a “weak monument,” the photographic image reveals the impaired civic space of Fascism, questioning the nature of the regime’s commonly perceived visibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background Magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] is a promising tool to evaluate therapeutic efficacy in ileocolonic Crohn's disease [CD]. Aims We aimed to assess the feasibility of early MRI evaluation (week 12 [W12]) to predict corticosteroid-free remission [CFREM] at W52 and prevent long-term bowel damage. Methods All patients with active CD needing anti-tumour necrosis factor [anti-TNF] therapy were consecutively enrolled in this multicentre prospective study. MRI was performed before starting therapy, at W12 and W52. CFREM was defined as Crohn's Disease Activity Index < 150, C-reactive protein < 5 mg/L and faecal calprotectin < 250 µg/g, with no switch of anti-TNF agents, no bowel resection and no therapeutic intensification between W12 and W52. Results Among 46 patients, 22 [47.8%] achieved CFREM at W52. Anti-TNF agents were able to heal almost all CD lesions as soon as W12 [ p  < 0.05]. Early transmural response defined as a 25% decrease of either Clermont score (odds ratio [OR] = 7.7 [1.7–34.0], p  < 0.001) or Magnetic Resonance Index of Activity (OR = 4.2 [1.3–13.3], p  = 0.015) was predictive of CFREM at W52. Achieving at least two items on W12-MRI among ulceration healing, disappearance of enlarged lymph nodes or sclerolipomatosis, ΔADC [apparent diffusion coefficient] > +10% or ΔRCE [relative contrast enhancement] > −30% was associated with a likelihood of CFREM at W52 of 84.6% vs 37.5% in patients without transmural response [ p  < 0.001]. Early transmural response could prevent bowel damage progression over time using Clermont score (hazard ratio = 0.21 [0.0–0.9]; p  = 0.037). Conclusion Evaluation of early transmural response by MRI is feasible and is a promising end point to monitor therapeutic efficacy in patients with CD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study aims to analyse the Pauline passage of Galatians 4:4-5 in the perspective of Mariology that highlights the historical concreteness of the Incarnation of the Word. The passage, in its moderation, has been defined as a seed of Mariology in which the mystery of Mary is presented, for the first time in the New Testament, in the Trinitarian, Christological, soteriological, ecclesiological and anthropological sense. Mary's virginal motherhood indicates that the salvation wrought by Christ touches human nature from within and, for this reason, is unique in the history of religions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The MR activity indices used for quantification and follow-up of Crohn's disease are composed of a number of subjectively determinable components with equivocal repeatability. The purpose of this article was to assess the repeatability of measurements used for quantitative estimation of Crohn's disease activity in the terminal ileum. In five adults (23–57 y.o.) and 12 children (10–17 y.o.) with active terminal ileitis, the inflamed bowel was divided into 3 cm segments (n = 32 in adults, n = 46 in children), and measurements for the calculation of MaRIA and Clermont scores were performed. Parameters included apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) for diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences with selective and non-selective fat suppression, wall signal enhancement before (WSI-preGd) and after (WSI-preGd) gadolinium enhancement, bowel thickness, and presence of ulcers. The measurements were standardised (accurate site-to-site comparison, exact ROI size, where applicable) and repeated by the same researcher after two months. Intra-observer agreement for ADC, WSI-preGd and WSI-postGd, bowel thickness was assessed with a paired t-test, and the significant difference in presence/absence of ulcers was assessed by the Pearson 2 test. Absolute difference was not found between the 1st and 2nd measurements of ADC, WSI-preGd, WSI-postGd and wall thickness. There was systematic difference in the presence of bowel ulcers. In standardised conditions the repeatability of ADC, WSI-preGd and WSI-postGd is high. Efforts must be made to precisely define the size and appearance of ulcers that may be included in the index calculation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La figura de María de Nazaret, como se nos muestra en su Magníficat, está estrechamente relacionada con Ester, la protagonista del rollo con su nombre. En ambas narraciones se encuentra un tema fundamental: el del «cambio de suerte», unido al asunto del «universalismo» presentado como comunión entre generaciones, como extensión de relaciones, y como participación de una misma historia caracterizada por la experiencia de la misericordia del Señor.

No contexto da literatura greco-latina, poucas figuras são simultaneamente tão fascinantes e obscuras como Mémnon. Através de uma breve análise das fontes literárias e iconográficas, este artigo começará por recapitular o que ainda sabemos sobre este herói para, num segundo momento, avaliar a possível influência de um dado esquema iconográfico, em que ele se encontra incluído, na arte cristã.

The present text deals with an interpretation of Luther's Magnificat, in a movement of argumentation based on the experience of reading two traditions, the Catholic and the Lutheran, in the understanding that they can together lead to a dialogical reflection on the Christian way of living according to the model From Maria. The objective is to present an interpretation that we try to make of the Magnificat of Luther in relation to Mary, in an ecumenical dialogue between the two traditions mentioned above. For this, a bibliographical review is used, with a central focus on the book The Praise of Mary: the Magnificat by Martin Luther and the possible dialogues from these two traditions at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

In its various interpretations, Mulieris dignitatem is certainly an important document concerning women's issues. This contribution aims to demonstrate that the hermeneutic choice centered on the woman, and the womanhood of Mary, allowing us to shape a reflection that presents the dignity and vocation of women in an anthropological and Mariological sense. This article opens to further studies that in perspective, will be possible to appreciate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

John Paul II left the Church with a vast and profound Marian heritage, of which the encyclical Redemptoris Mater (25th March 1987), certainly constitutes the most authoritative document, the most extensive and articulated text, the compendium, and the pure synthesis. The encyclical is an accurate meditation on the Word of God, on the theological reflection of the Second Vatican Council on Mary, on the doctrine of the Eastern and Western Fathers. Pope Wojtyła, after a brief introduction, develops in an original way three great themes previously indicated by the council: Mary in the Mystery of Christ, in which through a biblical meditation the pope develops a Mariology intimately connected with Christology; The Mother of God at the Center of the Pilgrim Church on a journey in which he shows how the journey of the Church in time and space is modelled on that of Mary and in which it deals extensively with the theme of ecumenism; Maternal Mediation in which the pope takes up the term "mediation" that the council had placed in perspective, nevertheless remaining linked to the doctrine of chapter VIII of LG on the subject and inserting a happy underlining the role of the Holy Spirit in the work of the mediation of Christ and in the maternal function of Mary towards humanity. Characteristic and original features of the encyclical are, among others: the new approach to the dogma of the Immaculate Conception; the pilgrimage of the faith of Mary, mirror of the pilgrimage of the faith of the Church; the impulse given to Marian spirituality and to the spirituality of entrustment in particular; attention to history and its eschatological fulfilment which finds a constant presence in Mary.
