HEAVEN OR HELL? This is a research, critical and creative writing class focusing on the themes of heaven and hell. You will be improving computer and library skills as you continue the recursive processes of reading, thinking, writing and reflecting on your development as a writer. Do you ever feel as if you're living in or at least visiting a hell on earth? What makes a place, person or situation "hellish?" As in all of Keefer multidisciplinary classes, there are group projects, individual paths, core material and the class project. Groups: Humanities majors can analyse the heavens and hells of literature and philosophy; Social science majors can research utopias and dystopias; and health science majors can describe the subjective hells of a specific disease or disability. Individual paths: Plan the semester to make the most of your talents and research interests by choosing a topic that you love (on the theme of Heaven or Hell) and keep your focus on self-directed learning. Dante, Plato, William Blake,

Meditations On The Divine Comedy Inferno Cantos XV-XXI A. S. Kline © Copyright 2002 All Rights Reserved This work may be freely reproduced, stored, and transmitted, electronically or otherwise, for any non-commercial purpose. Contents Meditation XV: Inferno Canto XV MedXV:1 Brunetto Latini: Inferno Canto XV:1 The Canto begins with an extended analogy, with the sea-walls of Belgium, one of Dante’s marvellous concrete details, followed by another pair of similes. Brunetto’s Tesoretto was a source book for the idea of an allegorical journey, beginning in a wood of error, and Brunetto himself was an exile, a wanderer, after Montaperti, visiting France and probably England. Brunetto now points out other clerks and scholars guilty of his own crime, allowing Dante too an ironic reference to Boniface, the Pope in 1300, and the object of Dante’s scorn for his corruption of the Papal office, using one of his official titles, ‘the servant of God’s servants’, a pointed comment on Boniface’s actual behaviour.
Inferno Study Questions There are two large concerns that I would ask you to be particularly aware of throughout the poem, but which Dante seems to be particularly aware of them in the poem's first 5 Cantos. A. Metaliterary questions. At the end of Inferno 5, Francesca blames a book (and its author) for her adultery. B. 6. 7. 8-9. 10. How would you characterize Farinata's relationship to his eternal "tomb-mate," Cavalcante? 11. Cantos 12-17 cover the different subdivisions of the circle of Violence. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. What about the truism I keep trotting out that Dante meets characters who teach him what it means to be Dante? 19. 20. 21-23. The next section of the poem begins with four cantos presented as two pairs: 24-25 on the thieves and 26-27 on the "fraudulent counselors." 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34.
WELCOME TO DANTE’S JOURNEY WELCOME TO DANTE’S JOURNEY Phl 337- Dante’s Journey Professor John G. Sullivan The Poet by Jean A. Amaro This course will follow Dante’s journey as expressed in The New Life and the Divine Comedy. In the process of following Dante’s journey, we will explore the phenomenon of courtly love, go through Hell together, learn the process of getting in touch with the more subtle obstacles to our growth as we climb the seven-storied mountain of Purgatory, and finally explore levels of consciousness that take us through the spheres of spiritual deepening to the Love that moves the Sun and other stars. Return to John G.
Images from Dante's inferno Hoaxes and fallacies are common in the study of alternative religions. Read about some of the more wide-reaching ones. The navjote is the initiation ceremony for Zoroastrian children that welcomes them into the community. Apocalyptic religions emphasize their end of the world beliefs as central to their practices. Don't let fearmongering distract you from common sense. While parents should always be wary of what their children are studying, those pursing occult practices that include dangerous behavior and/or illegal and immoral things practically don't exist. Sir Isaac Newton was an unconventional man in many ways. Just people in previous times have colored their religious beliefs with their general understanding of the world, today we find modern concepts like aliens in modern religions. A list of common controversies and misconceptions that have plagued the Church of Scientology for decades, including Fair Game, Snow White, and the Fishman Affidavit.
EDSITEment - Lesson Plan Activity 1. Background on Dante and the Divine Comedy Reading a single canto of the Divine Comedy might seem like plucking one tile from a vast mosaic, but any encounter with Dante, no matter how brief, can be stunning, so powerful was his imagination, so profound his mastery of his art. This lesson guides students in a close reading through one of the more accessible parts of Dante's great poem (perhaps especially accessible for teenagers), providing them with the interpretative skills to complete the journey on their own. 1. Begin by providing students with background on Dante and the Divine Comedy, referring to the "About Dante" section of the Digital Dante website on EDSITEment. Explain to students that Dante Alighieri was born in 1265 in Florence, then a virtual city-state and perhaps the wealthiest mercantile center in the world. Activity 2. Introduce students to the Divine Comedy by having them read Canto 1 of Inferno, which stands as a prelude to the entire poem. Activity 3.
Forni: Lectura Dantis: Inferno XI Walking away from the walls of the City of Dis near which the encounter with Farinata and Cavalcante had taken place (canto X), Virgil and Dante arrive (in the opening of canto XI) at «the upper rim of a high bank / formed by a ring of massive broken boulders» (1-2). They have reached the limit of the sixth circle, and here they seek shelter behind the tomb of Pope Anastasius. An «outrageous stench» is coming from the circles below, and they must wait in order to get used to it. During this pause Virgil explains to Dante the criteria underlying the ordering of the realm they are visiting. This is the canto in which the structure of Hell is given __ moral structure or moral ordering are the traditional terms. Below is the table of contents from Boccaccio's lectura: And the present canto is divided into seven parts. To start, let's focus on parts two to four, which can be considered the core of Virgil's lesson. The circle of the Violent is divided into three rings: 3) Violent against God.

Aeschliman: The Heirs of Canto III of Dante's Inferno Dante is, John Ruskin wrote 100 years ago, «the central man of all the world». T. S. Eliot agreed, and what makes Eliot himself not only the great poet but also the great critic of our era has a great deal to do with Dante, as Eliot himself said: «I have borrowed lines from him, in the attempt to reproduce, or rather to arouse in the reader's mind the memory, of some Dantesque scene, and thus establish a relationship between the medieval inferno and modern life». Eliot seemed sure there was such a relationship, that he was not merely inventing it; that in seeing, imagining, and depicting that relationship between the medieval inferno and modern life he was seeing something that was really there. Eliot was not only a poet and a critic, he was a philosopher and what we nowadays call a sociologist, and a distinguished one. Since the 1920s the «nightmare» has gotten worse __ especially in the light of the fatuous progressive expectations that preceded it. This is high praise.
