Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Today, the few remaining beguines in Belgium are all elderly women. Their death will also mean the end of the beguine movement, a spiritual history lasting eight centuries that has mainly been focused in the late-medieval and early-modern Low Countries. The movement emerged during the twelfth century and spread through western Europe. Almost all members were women, committing themselves to the vita apostolica. The movement emerged in the former principality of Liege. It flourished and spread to the duchy of Brabant and the county of Flanders. The beguine movement was perceived to be over by the second half of the twentieth century, but the romanticised image of beguines lives on. Today, many beguinages are restored and activities such as the taking of wedding photographs, folk festivals and filming take place. This romanticism is in strong contrast with the beguine movement's initial purpose. The first beguines were not sweet-voiced and silly, but were strong, devout women who had to fight for recognition and autonomy in male-dominated times, where female independence and initiative was not appreciated. They succeeded, but history took its toll. In this synthetic study, we shall mainly examine monographs and from them we shall try to give an up-to-date status quaestionis. The main goal of this survey is to offer a well-supported synthesis, in contrast to the proliferation of different doubtful hypotheses on many subjects relating to the beguines, such as the origins of the movement, the etymology of the word 'beguine', the social status of the candidate beguines, the beguine mystics and the so-called revolutionary feminism of the first generations. This overview is written in English, since there are only three monographs on the beguines in English. Today, the few remaining beguines in Belgium are all elderly women.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Humour and Religion highlights the importance and functioning of humour in different world religions. Exploring the major religious cultures, the book looks at more constructive aspects to the relation between humour and religion, with humour seen as a pathway to spiritual wisdom.Exploring how religions contain (implicit) references to the finitude and relativity of the human condition, and why humour and spirituality fit well together, contributors discuss what the meaning of humour in different religions is - Did it evolve historically? How does it function? How is humour related to the realization of spiritual goals? Looking at religions from an external perspective, the contributors then analyze the way religion interacts with humour in society. How does a religion respond to sarcasm and irony? Are there limits to mockery and making fun of believers? Does humour have a pacifying effect when societal tensions run high or does it intensify the sensitivities? This volume will provide essays of value to scholars in the various religions and literatures covered.
