Spiritual Manifest Destiny: B.A. Santamaria's Political Theology
This article offers a reading of B.A. Santamaria's political theology and its role in the making of contemporary Australian political imaginaries. The article charts the shifting targets of Santamaria's critique and activism, showing his departure from the perceived communist threat to a wide‐ranging attack on liberal and leftist social movements. In so doing, the article argues that Santamaria should be considered an early architect of, and advo…
Stilling Time: Stop Making Sense
Looking for the Soul of Environmental Lament
In texts, films, paintings and speeches, New Deal policymakers and allied intellectuals deployed biblical language and images to evoke contrition for environmental "sins." The sins of the fathers, namely the exploitative land use on the part of settlers and agro-capitalists, were now being visited on the Depression generation in the catastrophes not only of wind-born soil erosion (as in the Dust Bowl) but also the more extensive threat of gullyin…
Scholastic Affect: Gender, Maternity and the History of Emotions
Scholastic theologians made the Virgin Mary increasingly perfect over the Middle Ages in Europe. Mary became stainless, offering an impossible but ideologically useful vision of womanhood. This work offers an implicit theory of the utility and feelings of women in a Christian salvationary economy. The Virgin was put to use as a shaming technology, one that silenced and effaced women's affective lives. The shame still stands to this day, although …

Mary Daly’s Gyn/Ecology: Mysticism, Difference, and Feminist History
The object of this article is to contextualize Mary Daly’s mixed reception within feminist scholarship in order to read her status within the larger project(s) of feminist thought in recent history. Daly is a polarizing figure who inspires enmity, devotion, and trenchant criticism. I track these responses, arguing that they offer an important source for the intellectual history of feminist thought. Daly’s work is mystical and polemical, proudly s…

The Show tells the story of the secretive organisation founded in 1942 by Australia’s Catholic bishops, at the recommendation of a young Bob Santamaria. Called the Movement or the Show, this societ
The politics of extra/ordinary time: Encyclical thinking
This article reads the papal encyclical as a genre in political thought. As a form, the encyclical authorizes itself through the ontological surety provided by Christian revelation, juxtaposed with an intervention into contemporary and contested politics. As explicitly theological texts, encyclicals trouble normative notions of the political. At the same time, however, they do significant political work in the world. This article reads the genre …

Poor Maternity: Clare of Assisi's letters to Agnes of Prague
During the first half of the thirteenth century, Clare of Assisi and Agnes of Prague sustained a long epistolary relationship. Clare's part of the correspondence is extant, and reveals much about the intersection of the language of gendered piety and political ambition in this period. This article seeks, in particular, to place Clare's use of maternal imagery within the context of her attempts to build patronage networks in order to support her a…

Theology, Practice, and Policy at the Turn of the Thirteenth Century: The Papacy and P eter L ombard
Famously, the F ourth L ateran C ouncil took place in 1215 and offered a bold new wave of papal legislation. Importantly, the C ouncil confessed cum petro , with P eter L ombard. This was an unprecedented endorsement of a scholastic theologian. By confessing cum petro , the papacy placed P eter L ombard's S entences at the heart of its bold reforming agenda. There has been very little historical analysis of the meanings of this endorsement. This …
