Hartmut Rosa, When Monsters Roar and Angels Sing
Culture, arts and health
The primary aim of this article is to introduce how culture and health, as a field of enquiry as well as practice, is organized conceptually in Sweden. A secondary and minor aim is to launch a more general discussion of the relationship between ‘culture’, ‘arts’ and ‘health’ and their implication for multi-disciplinary research. After introducing how ‘Culture and Health’ as an academic as well as applied field of enquiry has been introduced in Sw…
S lavoj Ž ižek, the Death Drive, and Zombies
In this article, I discuss the question of the hybridity of the religious and the secular through the example of the S lovenian philosopher S lavoj Ž ižek and his psychoanalytically inspired notion of the undead. The undead is Ž ižek's rendering of the F reudian death drive, and as the undead is instantiated in the popular culture cliché of the zombies, we need to look no further than to G eorge A . R omero's classic zombie movie N ight of the L …
Political Theology
This is a special issue on political theology in the Nordic countries. The Nordic countries represent a region in Northern Europe and the North Atlantic and consists of five countries, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Nor way and Sweden, including their associated territories, the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Aland. Around 25 million people live in an area of 3.5 million km 2 . Although there are significant differences between the countries, it would …
Emancipation as a Matter of Style
This article will focus upon the relationship between humour, politics and theology. More precisely, it will inquire whether there is some kind of correlation between style of humour and political standpoint in two contemporary Marxist authors that also have an interest in theology, the British literary critic Terry Eagleton and the Slovenian philosopher and psychoanalyst Slavoj Žižek. If Eagleton’s style is characterized by the strategic use of …
Theology and Marxism in Eagleton and Zizek
Taking its cue from the renewed interest in theology among Marxist and politically radical philosophers or thinkers, this study inquires into the reasons for this interest in theology focusing on the
Religious Embodiment Between Medicine and Modernity
In this essay, I discuss how religious embodiment has been and is conceived in relation to other perspectives on embodiment such as the role of medicine in modernity. My focus is on the cultural representation of embodiment, and the theoretical perspective is phenomenological and hermeneutical. I start out from an account of the dissection of the abbess Chiara of Montefalco’s body in 1308 to show how even such a practice as the cutting open of bo…
Beyond Secularism? Towards a Post‐secular Political Theology
In this article I analyse some of the reasons for a recent, resurgent interest in religion and theology by political philosophers and relate this interest to an inherent instability in modernity itself. In the first part I describe the landscape of current political philosophy with a particular emphasis on radical philosophers. In the second part I describe how the liberal distinction between religion and politics generates a theological instabil…
Kristna kroppar? Om kristologi, kroppslighet och kön
In this article Sigurdson poses three questions: Is there a specific notion of embodiment in the Christian tradition? If so, would a Christian body be a sexed body? And would a theological notion of embodiment have something to contribute to the ongoing philosophical discussion of the body, especially in feminist theory? The answer to all three questions is yes, and Sigurdson then shows how a Christian theology of embodiment takes its cue from th…
