The ringing of the Angelus, a Catholic call to prayer, is a staple of Irish state television broadcasting, occurring at 6 o’clock every evening. Over the years, the image track accompanying the bell has changed, transitioning from still to moving images and incorporating an increasingly secular pictorial repertoire. Although the Angelus is TV you are not supposed to watch, the document archives at Radió Teleifís Éireann offer plenty of rich evidence that people have always watched the Angelus closely, that they feel a personal stake in its modes of representation, and that they approach religious images as statements about religion and the Church.

This chapter is an analysis of how audio-visual representations of the work of international criminal tribunals create narratives around victims. It highlights one important aspect of those narratives: they do not merely reflect and represent, they also create. More specifically, victims and victimhood are not pre-given categories, but are instead constituted via acts of representation, including audio-visual ones. Viewing this material through the lens of a typology of modes of representation in documentary film theory, this chapter argues that audio-visual productions have created different types of victims. Whereas advocacy documentaries have produced ‘ideal’ victims, critical documentaries ‘argumentative victims’, and observatory documentaries ‘translated victims’, audio-visual materials produced by the International Criminal Court itself have presented ‘bureaucratized victims’.

Basis-theoretical perspectives on discipleship and its relation towards congregation building. In recent times there has been a growing focus on the process of building up the local church in the Reformed Churches of South Africa. Congregation building should not only take place through growing numbers, but also through spiritual growth. In this article a few basis-theoretical perspectives will be explored through a study of applicable literature, regarding the definition of ‘disciple’ and ’discipleship’. It is also the purpose of this article to establish whether or not there is any relation between discipleship and congregation building. It is the premise of this article that discipleship, with the basis-theoretical perspectives in mind, can suffice as a ministry model towards congregation building for the church in the ever so changing times in which she finds herself when the kingdom of God is taken as the goal of discipleship, and love for God and your neighbour is taken as the underlying principle of discipleship.

Despite their ultimate breakdown, the Malines Conversations (1921–1926) between the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church were an event of momentous significance for the communions engaged in them. They heralded changing times, for Rome a cautious step from ultra-monantism and anti-Modernism towards the “aggiornamento” of John XXIII, and for the Church of England a partial triumph of the new-found desire for church union over older attitudes of “no-popery.” But their real importance can be set in wider perspective: the guarded measure of mutual recognition they introduced marked, in one respect at least, the end to four centuries of schism.

The ever-expanding changes times have an impact on many people even more on the lives of Christian teens. The teenage phase is a pretty hard time to deal with because of many influences around both positive and negative. This phase is also in which a person’s mind begins to form and depends on the circumstances surrounding them. This study aims to provide an overview of the self-concept of Christian teens in the face of changing times that continue to develop. Researches use a literature study approach to find the main picture of the research in question. The results showed that Christian youth in facing the changing times needed God’s wisdom in this world and needed to be followed by the right example of life. In addition, it is necessary to present the right figures and be the right role models, both from parents and the church (youth servants, servants of God/pastors) so that there is a role model for adolescents who help them live a wiser and more responsible life even if it occurs changing times that have their own impact. Perubahan zaman yang terus berkembang tentu memiliki dampak bagi banyak orang terlebih lagi pada kehidupan remaja Kristen. Fase remaja adalah masa-masa yang cukup sulit dihadapi dikarenakan banyaknya pengaruh di sekitar baik secara positif dan juga negatif. Di fase ini pula pola pikir seseorang mulai terbentuk dan tergantung dari keadaan yang ada di sekitarnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran tentang konsep diri remaja Kristen dalam menghadapi perubahan zaman yang terus berkembang. Peneliti menggunakan pendekatan studi pustaka untuk menemukan gambaran pokok penelitian yang dimaksud. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa remaja Kristen dalam menghadapi perubahan zaman, perlu hikmat Tuhan dalam dunia ini dan perlu diikuti dengan keteladan hidup yang benar. Selain itu, perlu menghadirkan tokoh-tokoh yang benar dan menjadi teladan yang benar, baik itu dari orangtua maupun gereja (pelayan remaja, hamba Tuhan/pendeta) agar ada role model bagi remaja yang membantunya dalam menjalani hidup dengan lebih bijak dan lebih bertanggungjawab sekalipun terjadi perubahan zaman yang membawa dampak tersendiri.

Purpose of research is to consider the culture and art of the Renaissance and explore the semantics of religious images of the outlined period. Methodology. The tasks posed in this work led to the use of the following research methods, namely: analysis and synthesis, generalization and systematization of theoretical material, comparison and generalization of the result obtained in the process of studying theoretical material and specialized publications covering this issue. The solution of the tasks was achieved by applying the comparative historical, descriptive, logical and systemic methods. Scientific Novelty. The semantics of biblical images in the works of Renaissance artists are revealed. Conclusions. In the Renaissance, a completely new self-consciousness of a person is formed, among spiritual values, preference is given to the nobility and personal merits of the person. The meaning of life is not laid in the salvation of the soul, but in creativity, self-knowledge, serving humanity, society and not God. God, giving man free will, gave him the right to create his own destiny and determine his place in the world. Since the church of that time still had great power, the basic ideas of artists of that time were embodied in works with a religious theme, but in their painting, there were existing contradictions between the humanistic, deep life content ant traditional religious subjects. The works of the renaissance conveyed the being of the person around whom the biblical painting took place, all this was on one plane.

This study is concerned with how moving images linguistically participate in the meaning-making of queer and the theoretical prospects of New Queer Cinema. The material under investigation is Ara Chawdhury’s regional film Miss Bulalacao (2015) which illustrates the dynamic interactions between its queer character and the three social spaces the character navigates − the family, the community and the Church. Mobilizing Burn’s kineikonic method of metamodal analysis, the study reveals how these spaces are configured with oppressive heteronormativity, but are also actively challenged by the queer’s subversive possibilities, ultimately articulating how the film, as a kineikonic text, renders these spaces as dense sites of resistance and negotiation.

In the current media system, we are observing the increasing sedimentation of symbolic forms, discourses and imagery regarding contemporary migrations. With the reuse of videos filmed by migrants, the documentary form represents the best “yielding field” where intercultural modes of representation and visual self-inscriptions can be constantly reinvented. In particular, videos made with nonprofessional devices have drawn viewers’ attention to the capacity of moving images to bear witness to reality “from below” and, in some respects, to reproduce aesthetically the opacity and the contingency of events, even the most tragic ones. This paper examines how such a gaze, when it is embodied by the migrant subject, raises questions about the representation of a first-person experience, an experience which paradoxically constitutes a denial of all identity and subjectivity in a deeper sense. To do this, two interesting experiments recently hosted by the website of the Italian newspaper La Repubblica will be analysed: the web series Com’è profondo il mare and Un unico destino—Tre padri e il naufragio che ha cambiato la nostra storia. These web series not only represent traumatic events, but the images show clashes within the depictions themselves and a collision or negotiation between conflicting points of view.

The chapter explores how the residents of Italian Renaissance homes responded to religious images in devotional practice. It discusses the differences between paintings and sculptures as the focus of prayer and meditation. The fundamental changes in pictorial art during the Italian Renaissance—greater realism through the use of perspective, more naturalistic settings, and the delineation of physical detail—have generally been regarded as strategies for making religious images more worldly and approachable. This book questions such an interpretation. Many families clung to older icons of the Virgin and Child, with their flattened features and gold backgrounds, long after they had fallen out of fashion artistically. Meanwhile, innovations in modes of representation helped devotees to experience meditative or visionary states of mind.
