Art and Sacrificial Love

A Conversation with Michael D. O’Brien

By: Clemens Cavallin

This work is a profound and illuminating conversation between two Catholic artists who are also gifted writers. The setting is a house in the woods near Combermere, Canada. The two men are alone, free to explore the wellsprings of Christian art and the suffering that its creation entails. This moving discussion between the two artists and writers is not theoretical.

On the Edge of Infinity

A Biography of Michael D. O'Brien

By: Clemens Cavallin

This book tells the story of Michael O'Brien, one of the most popular Catholic novelists and painters of our times. It covers his life from his childhood in the Canadian Arctic to the crucial decision in 1976 to devote himself wholly to Christian sacred arts, followed by his inspiration to write fiction and his best-selling apocalyptic novel, Father Elijah. The story then continues to the present with explorations of O'Brien's other works. O'Brien's life is one of struggle against all odds to reestablish Christian culture in the materialist void created by the modern Western world. It is a timely reminder of hope in trials and sufferings, of endurance during marginalization and poverty. This is the first biography of O'Brien, and it also provides an introduction to his novels, paintings, and essays. The author, Clemens Cavallin, was granted unrestricted access to Michael O'Brien's personal archive, including his diary from the late 1970s until the present day. By revealing sides of O'Brien's interior creative life--including mystical experiences, spiritual battles, and illuminations—he has painted a portrait of a contemporary visual and literary artist whose inspiration arises from an intense fusion of imagination and active faith.

The Future of Religious Studies in India

By: Clemens Cavallin,Åke Sander,Sudha Sitharaman

This book looks at how religious studies is framed and taught in India. It addresses the contradiction between the country’s vibrant religious life and the dearth of comparative and social scientific religious studies programs across Indian universities. The volume: • Studies the efforts by Rabindranath Tagore in Santiniketan and Mohan Malaviya in Varanasi, to introduce and institutionalize religious studies in India; • Discusses the notions of religion and spirituality and situates the failure of the ‘secularization thesis’ in the context of modern India; • Provides concrete suggestions on how to develop religious studies in relation to global citizenship and Indian cultural heritage with the hope of initiating a larger discussion. A unique contribution to the study of religion in society and education, the book will be indispensable to students and researchers of theology, history, philosophy, sociology, secularization, globalization, religious studies, education studies, and South Asian studies.

Ritualization and Human Interiority

Ritualization and Human Interiority

By: Clemens Cavallin

Ordet ritual forbindes ofte med billeder af konkrete handlinger, der udføres i et socialt rum; det være sig højtidelige, fysiske gester eller festoptog med sang og dans. Som en kontrast til dette ydre domæne opfattes ordet inderlighed hovedsageligt som et ord, der henviser til subjektivitetens område. Sammenstillingen af emnerne inderlighed og ritualisering kan derfor tage sig ud som et forsøg på at skabe en tematisk modsætning mellem de indre og ydre aspekter af menneskelig handlen. I denne opsplitning ligger der en tendens til at understrege menneskets indre som det autentiske udgangspunkt for individets handlinger, hvorimod ritualer fremstår som blot og bart gentagende, sterile handlinger uden forbindelse til individets autonome fornuft og følelsesliv. I Ritualization and Human Interiority undersøger Clemens Cavallin ritualers indre betydning, og han viser, at ritualisering og inderliggørelse i virkeligheden er indbyrdes forbundne processer. Bogens hovedtese er, at selvom billedet af ritualisering og inderliggørelse som modsatrettede kræfter ikke helt kan afvises, er det vekselvirkningen mellem disse to størrelser, der er af afgørende betydning. Cavallin argumenterer for, at religiøse traditioner uomgængeligt udlever denne dynamik mellem rituel performance og inderlighed. Ved at overføre idéen om indbyrdes afhængighed til relaterede emner, såsom ritualisering og modernitet, leverer Cavallin nye indsigter i et af humanvidenskabernes centrale spørgsmål: forholdet mellem ydre, social adfærd og indre, subjektiv handling. Clemens Cavallin er lektor i religionshistorie ved Göteborgs universitet. The word ritual often evokes images of outward social performances, whether austere physical gestures or exuberant pageants of song and dance. As a contrast to this external realm, the word interiority is mainly recognized as referring to the realm of the subjective. Thus, bringing the topics of human interiority and ritual together might appear as a way of establishing a theme of antagonism between the inner and the outer aspects of human action. In this division lies a tendency to stress the interiority of individuals as the authentic starting point for action, whereas rituals are merely seen as sterile repetitive actions, disconnected from the autonomous reason and emotional life of the individual. In Ritualization and Human Interiority, Clemens Cavallin examines the inward meaning of rituals, showing that ritual and many forms of interiorization are in fact interconnected processes. The main thesis of this book is that although the depiction of ritualization and interiorization as opposing powers cannot be completely dismissed, it is their interdependence that constitutes the most vital aspect of their relationship. Cavallin argues that religious traditions inevitably have to live out the dynamism between ritual performance and interiority. By tying this notion of interdependence into related topics, such as ritualization and modernity, Cavallin provides new insights into one of the human sciences’ central questions: the relationship between external social displays and internal personal acts. Clemens Cavallin is senior lecturer in religious studies at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
