A Hermeneutical Reading of a Secularized World
The Second Vatican Council and its hermeneutical dynamics of a progressively secularized modern world had a profound impact on the lives of millions. Drawing upon Jüri Lotman’s theory of cultural semiotics, this article aims first to examine Vatican II as an attempt to incorporate frontier discourses into the centrality of the Catholic Church semiosphere, i.e., the Vatican, mainly regarding moral theology and social doctrine. Within this context,…
Evangelizing the Church
Scholarship on Graham Greene has extensively examined the expression of his religious concerns in his work, labelling him a “Catholic writer” but also a schismatic author, due to his paradoxical departures from the catholic orthodoxy. Not until recently, scholars such as Mark Bosco (2005 Bosco, Mark Graham. Greene’s Catholic Imagination. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) and Michael G. Brennan (2016 Brennan, Mic…
Oh, of course, one accepts the Gospels, naturally’
When Graham Greene wrote Monsignor Quixote (published in 1982), one of his aims was to reflect critically on the role of the Catholic Church in the Spain of the late 1970s, as well as on the support this institution offered to the former dictatorship of Franco within the so called ‘National Catholicism.’ In this novel, the reader witnesses the evolution of the protagonist, Father Quixote, from a religious living a complacent life in a small villa…
Guarding the Guardians
Drawing upon mass communication theories, concretely Walter Lippman’s theory of stereotypes, Erving Goffman’s theory of frames, and Jean Baudrillard’s theory of simulacra and simulation, we examine the fictional representation of manipulated and fake news in three novels by Graham Greene, Stamboul Train (1932), The Quiet American (1955), and A Burnt-Out Case (1960). In this paper, within the frame of one of the key concepts in his work, the ‘virt…
Foreign-Space Dramatization in Graham Greene’s The Power and the Glory
Dramatyzacja obcej przestrzeni w powieści Moc i chwała Grahama Greene’a: Ponowna wizyta w Greeneland Graham Greene często podróżował i akcja jego książek często ma miejsce w różnych zakątkach świata. Mimo to krytycy są zgodni, że w swych powieściach Greene stworzył a-topos – przestrzeń odzwierciedlającą rozwój tematów (czy to duchowych, czy politycznych) zajmujących autora, a nie konkretne rzeczywiste miejsce. Z czasem ów a-topos otrzymał nazwę G…
Scientific and Spiritual Structure of the Realm of Being in Flannery O’Connor and Graham Greene
Taking as a basis Søren Kierkegaard’s theory of the spiritual stages of the human soul, this paper will analyze the concept of secular ethics in Flannery O’Connor and Graham Greene, concretely in two of their writings, the short story “The Lame Shall Enter First” (1962) and the play The Potting Shed (1957). I will first examine the characters of Sheppard and Henry Callifer, who are in a similar situation of existential complacency that spins arou…
