The Oceanic Feeling Interpreted
Authors: Parsons William b. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Drawing on the multiple resources unearthed in the last chapter, we are now in a position to offer a fresh interpretation of Rolland’s mysticism. The latter presents interesting peculiarities: Rolland was an unchurched Western mystic deracinated from traditional religious modes of expressing religious sentiments; a recipient of unchurched mystical experiences, and an advocate of the creation of a “mystical psychoanalysis.” As such, a psychoanalytic analysis of his mysticism does not encounter the more difficult sociohistorical and comparativist problems presented by tradition-bound mystics. On the other hand, I do think Rolland belongs to what can loosely be called a “tradition.” I begin, then, by situating Rolland’s mysticism with respect to extant comparativist literature, focusing at first on what has been termed “nature mysticism.” Here I appropriate the writings of R. C. Zaehner, for only Zaehner has suggested a conception of nature mysticism fruitful enough to begin to account for the experiential, sociohistorical, and theoretical dimensions of Rolland’s mysticism. As important, Zaehner’s rubric provides convenient theoretical bridges to psychoanalytic studies that allow me to implement the dialogical position advocated in the last chapter. Building on Zaehner, then, I devote the rest of the chapter to creating a dialogue between Rolland’s mysticism, culture studies, psychoanalysis, and issues in mystical epistemology.
Conclusion
Authors: Parsons William b. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Ascant year after Freud’s death, W. H. Auden, in his “In Memory of Sigmund Freud,” poetically expressed the impact of Freud on Western culture: “To us he is no more a person/ Now, but a whole climate of opinion/ Under whom we conduct our differing lives.” Certainly Freud initiated a new form of selfreflection, subjectivity, and sociality that has both real continuities and significant differences with its religious counterparts. Safely behind the double doors of the psychoanalytic therapeutic encounter, one inhabits a liminal space which grants one access to the unconscious, leading to a qualitatively distinct self relating activity. How that activity has altered the democratic West has been conceptualized and evaluated in diverse ways. Regardless of one’s take on Freud, one must not forget that other figures deserve to be seen alongside him as, in Peter Homans’s felicitous use of the phrase, “culture-makers”: those originative psychologists and intellectuals who were complicit in helping to further psychological modes of thinking about self, culture, and society.1 Of Freud’s associates, Carl Jung, Otto Rank, and Alfred Adler readily come to mind. There was something about the culture of that time that led to a specific kind of mourning which fostered introspective probes and psychological analyses.
Early Misfortunes
Authors: Almeida Manuel Antonio De 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
let us leap over the years that elapsed immediately after the birth and baptism of the subject of these memoirs and meet him now at the age of seven. We shall say only that during all that time the youngster did not belie all that he portended at birth: He tormented the neighborhood with a squall always squalled at the highest of registers; he was ill-tempered; his bad humor was directed particularly toward his godmother, whom he could not abide; and he was intractable in the extreme.
First Night Away from Home
Authors: Almeida Manuel Antonio De 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
As soon as he realized that his godson was missing, the compadre became terribly upset; he sounded the alarm throughout the neighborhood, hunted, inquired, but no one had any news or information to offer about the boy. Then he remembered the Via-Sacra, and it occurred to him that the youngster might have gone off with it. He hurried along all the streets the procession had traversed, anxiously asking everyone he met for information about that precious treasure of his hopes. He got all the way to the Church of the Born-Jesus without finding a trace. There they told him that they had seen three boys behaving in so reprehensible.
The Comadre
Authors: Almeida Manuel Antonio De 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It is now our duty to say something about a figure who will play an important role in the course of this story and whom the reader scarcely knows, since we touched on her, in passing, only in the first chapter. She is the midwife who, as we said, served as godmother to the subject of these memoirs. The comadre was a short, excessively fat, good-natured woman, simple, or simpleminded, to a certain extent, though in another sense quite discerning. She lived by her practice of midwifery, which she had adopted out of curiosity, and by pronouncing blessings to ward off the evil eye. She was widely known to be highly devout, the most assiduous churchgoer in the city. She was an unerring calendar of every religious feast day observed here, knew by heart the days on which Mass was said in this church and that, as well as the time and ,the priest’s name; she was on time to every Mass, litany, novena, and septenary; she never missed a Via-Sacra procession or sermon. In short, she kept her time so deployed and the schedules so organized that she never arrived at church to find Mass already at the altar. She began at dawn with the Mass at Our Lady of the Lapa; no sooner had it concluded than she was on her way to 8:oo Mass at the Se; and leaving it she caught the 9:00 at the Church of Santo Antonio.
The Rare Animal Garden
Authors: Almeida Manuel Antonio De 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
I here still exists today in the vestibule of the Imperial Palacewhich at the time when our story takes place was called the Royal Palace-a small chamber or room that the town wags, and the common people as well, called the “Rare Animal Garden.” That name had been bestowed upon it because of the purpose that it then served: Every day of the year it was occupied by three or four high-ranking officers, old, no longer fit for war and useless in peace, who remained in the king’s service, no one knew whether for some sort of extraordinary pay or just for the honor of being in the royal service. Seldom did the royal will call upon them actually to do anything, so they passed their time in resplendent idleness, sometimes in silence, other times conversing about the events of their own day and condemning those that they correctly judged not of that day, for none of them was less than sixty years of age. Sometimes it happened that they all fell asleep at the same time; then, with the resonance of their breathing passing through tobacco-constricted nasal passages, they would play a quartet, a piece of inestimable quality that the officers and soldiers of the guard, the servants, and other passersby would stop by the door to appreciate. The poor men were often the victims of practical jokes, which in those unharried times were many people’s objects of study.
Dona Maria
Authors: Almeida Manuel Antonio De 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this city a procession day has always been a time of great celebration, of frenetic comings and goings, of movement and of agitation. And if still today it is as the readers know it to be, at the time when the personages of this story lived it was at a somewhat higher pitch: The streets filled with people, especially women in mantillas; houses were decorated; magnificent quilts of silk or damask in all colors were hung out of windows; and choruses gathered on nearly every street corner. It was almost everything practiced today but at a larger scale and greater scope, because it was done “for the faith,” as the old women of those good times used to say. We, however, would say it was done for fashion: Decorating windows and doors on procession days or contributing in some other way to the splendor of the religious festivals was as much a matter of style as donning a dress with puff sleeves or wearing a formidable high comb two palms tall in your hair.
Pentecost Sunday
Authors: Almeida Manuel Antonio De 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
That day was Pentecost Sunday. As everyone knows, the feast of the Holy Ghost is one of the favorite celebrations of the people of Rio de Janeiro. Even today when certain habits are being lost, some of them good, others bad, that feast day is still the occasion of great activity. What happens today is, however, far from what used to take place in the time back to which we have taken our readers. The celebration did not begin on the Sunday marked on the calendar; it started much earlier, so that the novenas could take place. The first announcement of the celebration was to be found in the Folias. In his childhood, the writer of these memoirs had the opportunity to witness the Folias, although they were then in their last stages of decadence, so much so in fact that only children such as he paid attention and found enjoyment in them. For everyone else, if they paid heed at all, it was merely to lament how different the celebrations were from those of yesteryear. What went on back then, if closely examined, was not very far from deserving of censure. Nevertheless, it was a custom, and let no one say to an old woman from those times that it really must have been scandalous back then, because he will get a laugh right in his face and hear a tremendous philippic against the celebrations we have today.
Alliance
Authors: Almeida Manuel Antonio De 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
If Leonardo had despaired, in the way we have just seen, at the setback that he had suffered with the arrival and designs of Jose Manuel, his godfather was no less upset by the situation: Seeing that his godson was becoming a man and having definitively abandoned his monumental plan of sending him off to Coimbra, he had seen in Dona Maria’ niece an excellent means oflivelihood for his charge. He knew, it is true, that, should things continue on, at the moment of decision Dona Maria could, with very good reason, deny her niece to a youth who worked at no job and who had no future. For this reason he had often urged his godson to break into the trade on the face of some stupid customer or other; the latter, however, obstinately refused. The comadre, on the occasions when she came to the barber’s house, never ceased insisting on her old project of having the boy go into the Concei&lt;;:ao. On one occasion when she spoke of that in his presence, the story cost her a sharp reprimand: The boy had taken a liking to the life of an idler and on no account wished to leave it. And if on other occasions he was of that disposition, now after the latest events, when love and jealousy filled his heart, he certainly did not want to hear of such things. He believed that his best job should consist of putting an end to the rival who had gotten in ahead of him.
Intrigue
Authors: Almeida Manuel Antonio De 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The comadre went through many other scenes every day just like the one we have depicted, for she was one of the most sought-after midwives in the city. She enjoyed a great reputation for skill in these matters, and in the most serious cases it was always she who was chosen, with her miraculous scapulars, blessed palm, measure-ribbon of Our Lady of Childbirth, and bottle to blow in. With the invocation of all the legion of saints, seraphim, and angels she could get herself out of the most difficult situations. And let no one try to dictate to her, for she would not listen to them! Not even the royal surgeon.
Upset
Authors: Almeida Manuel Antonio De 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
while all these events were taking place, a sad occurrence, and one of the greatest importance, came to alter Leonardo’s lifeor actually to turn it upside down. His godfather fell gravely ill. At first the upset seemed to be a matter of little importance, and the comadre, who was the first person called in, felt that the discomfort would completely disappear within a couple of days if the patient would take some rosemary baths. That prescription, however, had no effect; the illness continued. They then had recourse to an apothecary known to the comadre, who extended his trade-whether with the sanction of the law or without it we know not-to the profession of physician.
New Love
Authors: Almeida Manuel Antonio De 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
After a long walk under a sky in which shone one of those magnificent moons that are to be seen only in Rio de Janeiro, they all reached a house on Vala Street. In those times a moonlit night was made the most of: No one stayed inside; those who did not go out on a stroll would sit in their doorways on mats and pass long hours in music, at their supper, and in conversation. Many slept the whole night in the out-of-doors.
Betrayal
Authors: Almeida Manuel Antonio De 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The three old women conversed for a long time, not because there was much to say about what had just been going on but because the comadre had taken it into her head that in order to explain how much she was interested in her godson’s return home it was necessary for her, going back into the distant past, to tell the boy’s entire life story from its beginning, that of his mother, that of his father, and her ownwhich had been the longest of all. And because the two sisters took it into their heads that in order to assert that Leonardo was doing quite well where he was and that they would not consent to his leaving, it was necessary to do what the godmother had just done: Tell the story of their lives and that of their entire family from times long past. Now as all these stories recounted from one party to another were full of episodes that were sometimes sentimental, sometimes gripping, sometimes gay, it happened during the conversation that among many chuckles of laughter some tears also flowed. There is nothing that works better to create and confirm friendship, even intimacy, than laughter and tears: Those who have once laughed together, and even more so those who have once cried together, find it easy to become friends. Indeed, by the end of the conversation, the three old women had come to feel an incredible degree of mutual esteem.
Spilled Broth
Authors: Almeida Manuel Antonio De 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The comadre, leaving the major given over to his shame, headed immediately for the house where Leonardo was to be found, to congratulate him and tell him of the despair into which his escape had plunged Vidigal. Leonardo was relying on that and was not surprised, but Vidinha and the two old women, amid many curses and imprecations, chuckled for a long time at the major’s expense. The comadre, as was her wont, took advantage of the opportunity and, after wearing down of talk about the major, delivered a sermon to Leonardo in which, aside from a few exaggerations, there was a great fund of truth-so much so that even Vidinha admitted that she was right on many matters. The sermon’s theme was the need for Leonardo to find some employment, to abandon the life he was leading which, pleasant though it might be, was nonetheless susceptible to such crises as the one that had just arisen. The sanction of all the laws that the preacher sought to im-press upon her listener was to be found in the clutches of Vidigal.
The Grenadier

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The score was, then, completely settled between Leonardo and the lackey: Each had had his vengeance upon the other. The last blow struck in the contest had been Leonardo’s. He blessed his fate, and even Major Vidigal, for having provided him the opportunity to snatch fortune’s cup from the lips of his rival. He was even almost happy that he had been conscripted. We have done well in observing that for him there was neither fortune that was not transformed into misfortune nor misfortune that did not end up as fortune.
Revelation
Authors: Almeida Manuel Antonio De 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It has been said many times that the only thing worse than an enemy is a bad friend. One of Leonardo- Pataca’s guests called himself a close friend of Teotonio’s and, in the light of the lengths to which Leonardo had gone to keep the latter free of the major’s clutches, made other friendships, however, the reverse occurs; the setbacks are productive because the return of peace proves easy, and as a result they seem to grow even closer. The friendship existing between Dona Maria and the comadre was of this latter sort. Therefore, after the chat at Mass not only did relations between the two return to their prior state but they became more solid than ever before. From then on there was no secret between them that was not mutually communicated, and they made a pact to aid one another to effect remedies, one of them for the ills afflicting her niece, the other for her godson’s deviltries.
Three Women on a Mission
Authors: Almeida Manuel Antonio De 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
he three, then, set out for the house of the major, who at that time lived on the Rua da Miseric6rdia, one of the oldest streets in the city. The major received them in a colored-print robe and sandals, not having initially gauged the caliber of the visit. As soon as he recognized the three women, however, he rushed to the adjacent bedroom and threw on his uniform tunic as quickly as possible. Since time was short and it was impolite to leave the ladies unattended, he did not don the rest of the uniform but returned to the parlor in the uniform top, informal breeches, sandals, and, as was his custom, an Alcobac;a kerchief over his shoulder. The comadre, seeing him thus attired, could scarcely stifle a giggle that came to her lips despite the aggrieved state she was in. The salutations of greeting were carried out without incident. The comadre had discerned in the major’s haste to enter a good sign for the outcome of their mission.
Happy Ending
Authors: Almeida Manuel Antonio De 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The comadre passed almost the entire period of mourning with the widow and her aunt, and she accompanied them to Mass on the seventh day. Leonardo appeared on that occasion as well, and he took the family home after the service was over.
That handclasp that Luisinha had permitted Leonardo on the day of her husband’s funeral had not gone unnoticed by Dona Maria either, just as many of the other facts deriving from that one had not escaped her. The fact is that a certain idea that she had in her mind did not seem so extravagant to her. Often, at the Ave Maria, as the good matron sat down on her bench in a corner of her drawing room to pray, between one “Our Father” and another ‘‘Ave Maria” on her blessed rosary.
Wilde’s Desire
Authors: Mahaffey Vicki 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde used wit to tease apart his Irish nationality, his image, and the prescriptive power of authority in ways that are widely misunderstood. To appreciate Wilde’s extraordinary inventiveness and to see how it was propelled and derailed by a tendency toward “greenness” that is both lushly verdant (in an intellectual and national sense) and grotesquely naive (in his understanding of the power of age and class), it is first necessary to peel away the image of Wilde that was disseminated through the popular press, an image that he did little to dispel and sometimes actively embroidered. Wilde’s fall came about largely because of the way he was troped (and trapped) by caricatures, but Wilde’s writings express values that are diametrically opposed to such labeling; they endorse a methodology that is antirepresentational, self-contradictory, and dynamic. His exuberant comedies demonstrate his command of vertiginous wordplay, most immediately apparent in his “earnest” punning, yet his fairy tales emphasize an equal awareness of the importance of humility, a quality that simultaneously affirms the insufficiency and the compassion of the individual. Although they differ sharply in mood, what punning and humility have in common is an exultation in the necessity of
Racial Protest, Identity, Words, and Form

Abstract
Maya Angelou has told in interviews how Robert Loomis, her eventual Random House editor, goaded her into writing autobiography, teasing her with the challenge of writing literary autobiography. Considering herself a poet and playwright, she had repeatedly refused Loomis’s requests that she write an autobiography until he told her that it was just as well: “He . . . said that to write an autobiography—as literature—is almost impossible. I said right then I’d do it” (“Maya Angelou,” with Hitt, 211).
Death as Metaphor of Self
Authors: Arensberg Liliane K 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In 1970, at a Time when most blacks and a growing number of liberal whites affirmed the ad-campaign motto that “Black Is Beautiful,” Maya Angelou’s autobiography was published. An unbeautiful, awkward, rather morose, dreamy, and “too-big Negro girl,” young Maya Angelou seems an unlikely heroine. Neither the pretty and radiant prom queen of her all-black high school, like Anne Moody in Coming of Age in Mississippi, nor the acknowledged genius of her doting family like Nikki Giovanni in Gemini, the child Angelou writes about is unadmired, unenvied, uncoddled as she makes her precarious way (on “broad feet,” she reminds us) into the world.
The Sacraments in Wesleyan Perspective
Authors: Wainwright Geoffrey 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
To TREAT ANY MATTER IN A WESLEYAN PERSPECTIVE IS NOT MERELY, FOR A Methodist, an act of piety toward John and Charles Wesley, the principal founders of our particular tradition, although such gestures certainly have their proper place for Christians who live in the communion of the saints. There is another reason why, in the late twentieth century, American Methodists should be looking to the Wesley brothers for guidance. Our own missionary situation bears an uncanny resemblance to the England of the eighteenth century in which the Methodist movement took its origins. For two centuries the American Constitution has forbidden any national establishment of religion of the kind the Wesleys knew in England and which still obtains there, even if in attenuated degree. Nevertheless, an often vague form of non-dogmatic, non-denominational Christianity has constituted the unofficial “civil religion” of the United States; and the “mainline” denominations have functioned in part as variant carriers of the civil religion-our own Methodism as much as any other body. And our church now takes on many of the features that marked the declining effectiveness of the Church of England in the Wesleys’ days. If we look for renewal, we may find hints in what God did through the Wesleys.
The Reconciliation of Divided Churches:A Witness to the Gospel
Authors: Wainwright Geoffrey 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
THAT CHRIST WILLS HIS DISCIPLES TO BE ONE IS CLEAR BECAUSE, IN HIS HIGH priestly prayer of John 17, Jesus prayed to the Father for their unity. The stated purpose is that the world may believe in the divine mission of the Son, so that all those whom Christ will draw to himself through their witness may, to the glory of the Father and the Son, come to a knowledge of the truth and an enjoyment of eternal life. St. Paul declares in Romans 5:10f. that sinners have been reconciled to God by the death of his Son, and that believers, having received this reconciliation, now rejoice in God through the Lord Jesus Christ. In Romans 15:5f. the apostle goes on to pray that God may grant them to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that they may with one heart and one voice glorify the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ. Their unity is necessary to the spreading of the Gospel among the Gentiles, who must also come to the praise of God’s name (15:7-33).
