The Relevance of the Beautiful to Our Ecological Crisis
This essay examines the impact of “aesthetic marginalization” on environmental degradation by leveraging Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutics to explore the Anthropocene. It argues that modernity’s detachment of aesthetics from science, ethics, and philosophy contributes to the environmental crises. The analysis underscores the pervasive ugliness of our current ecological moment, emphasizing the moral and aesthetic failures responsible for this cond…
The Reflection Room ®
We developed, implemented, and evaluated a participatory arts-based storytelling initiative called the Reflection Room project. Our aim was to investigate if visiting a Reflection Room, (1) creates opportunities for disclosing emotions and processing thoughts, (2) increases comfort discussing dying and death, and (3) supports advance care planning (ACP), conversations. In the pilot phase of the Reflection Room project, a Reflection Room was insta…

Gadamer’s Appropriation of Pietism
A foundation stone of Hans Georg Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics is the notion of the sensus communis. The philosophical significance of a “sensus communis” (common sense) begins with Aristotle, who offered scattered reflections. The topic was taken up in earnest in Enlightenment thought and in German idealism, but it became more of an individual faculty, lacking the deep sense of community and tradition found in earlier formulations. In thi…

Who Wrote Genesis
“Who Wrote Genesis” applies James Hillman’s method of “psychologizing” to the case of the “documentary” approach to the Book of Genesis. The essay is an example of applied archetypal psychology, using several of Hillman’s key ideas to show how theories of authorship are rooted in a psychological orientation that Hillman refers to as “monotheistic consciousness.”
Ritual and society
What does ritual do? Sociological and anthropological theory of the first half of the twentieth century proposes that ritual—secular or sacred—binds groups together, ensuring their harmonious functioning by generating and maintaining orders of meaning, purpose, and value. ‘Ritual and society’ discusses the theories of Emile Durkheim, Roy Rappaport, and Clifford Geetz and their ideas on ritual producing solidarity and effervescence and ritual's ro…
Definitions, types, domains
The word “ritual” is used in three different, though related, ways. First, ritual is conceived as a kind of action. Second, ritual is a cultural domain, arena, stage, or field, in and out of which people act and are acted upon. Third, ritual is sometimes conceived as an actor in its own right. ‘Definitions, types, domains’ explains the limitations of definitions and assesses the wide-ranging scholarship on what ritual is. There are three concepts…
Crabgrass Crucible
Christopher C. Sellers writes to right suburban environmental history. The standard in the field, Adam Rome's The Bulldozer in the Countryside: Suburban Sprawl and the Rise of Environmentalism (2001), is elitist and preaches to “a long-standing choir” that claims “ecological awareness originated from the outside, among professional ecologists, federal officials, and public-minded elites” (p. 4). Ciphering history through Marxist constructs, Selle…
On Being “Close to Nature”
Dominant culture in North America has persistently imagined native place as being "'in" or "close to" nature. Ideas about relatedness to or closeness to nature are often used, by those of European descent and natives alike, to place and divide native and white as distinct ethnic groups. But such a notion is a fault line capable of misrepresenting as much it represents, confining members of a group in places they may not inhabit. The word "native"…
Studying Contemporary Festivity
he sociologist Frank Manning, writing in the early 1980s, claimed that "throughout both the industrialized and developing nations, new celebrations are being created and older ones revived on a scale that is surely unmatched in human history."1Manning may have been overstating the case, but there is evidence that festive celebration in Europe and North America has experienced a renaissance.2In the 1980s, festivity seemed poised to gamer the atten…
Luther'sthesenportal
This article is part of a larger field-based study of contemporary festivity and religious tourism in Lutherland, a geographic and symbolic place associated with the life and work of Martin Luther. My aim, with reference to the work of Lindsay Jones and Victor Turner, is to develop an approach for studying the intersection of material culture and ritual. Material culture does not simply signify into empty space, shining meanings into its surround…
Swaggering Savagery and the New Frontier
The “war on terror” launched by the Bush administration in the wake of 9/11 is disturbing for many reasons, not least of which is the brutality with which this war has been carried out. A second feature of the American response to 9/11 to draw fire both at home and abroad is the “cowboy” swagger of President Bush and the Bush administration. A third point of criticism argues that 9/11 offered the Bush administration the perfect excuse to test the…
