In this project I have looked at different sources linked to Orphism which present a divine figure that emerges from the plurality of a polytheistic structure and appears to acquire the status of a 'one' god (separate and complete). To do so, I have also analysed the Christian reception of these sources, since many Christian authors quote them with different points of view and levels of appreciation. Key works include pseudo-Justin's De monarchia and Cohortatio ad Graecos, Xxxxxxx'x Protrepticus and Stromateis, Xxxxxxxx' Praeparatio Evangelica and the Theosophia Tubingensis. By investigating these sources, including variously dated fragments such as the Orphic Hymn to Xxxx and Xxxx. Hymn. 15, 19, 20, I have traced the development of this topic in successive historical periods and environments, an example of which is to be found in the poem known as Hieros Logos composed in Alexandria in Egypt within Hellenistic Judaism around the II century BCE, which imitates an Orphic Hieros Logos. This thesis contributes a new approach to the theme of Greek henotheism and to the study of the divine figure in Orphism, drawing attention to the historical, literary and cultural relevance of the sources, making use of a comparative approach. Thanks to the contribution of the Cognitive Studies of religion this project will primarily demonstrate that it is possible to find henotheistic tendencies in Orphic sources and how these texts are intertwined with other philosophical and religious ideas. The analysis of the aforementioned selected texts will reframe and improve our understanding of part of the Orphic literary corpus, showing the reader how these literary sources can inform us about the reflection on and devotion to a ‘one god’ in Greek religion, and especially in Orphic manifestations.

Focussing on the subject of “Religious offense and censorship of publications,” I examine the rationales and justifications given by courts to restrict freedom of speech and expression. I argue that the issues like public order, Development and Reception Submitted the concern to protect religious sentimentalities of different communities from hurt in a secular democracy, form the bedrock on which the courts construct the legal justification for curtailment of right to freedom of expression. In the process, the courts define the “reasonability” of restrictions, as advocated under article 19(2) of the constitution, very expansively, thereby allowing wide latitude for state intervention in the free exercise of this fundamental right. In a way, the position of the courts reflect a sense of legal patronage for state action against misuse of freedom of speech and expression, and it also exhibits a form of legal paternalism where the courts educates the citizens regarding the permissible limits of “matter” and “manner” of speech acts. I further argue that this attitude of the courts, along with the ambiguity attached with the nature of statutory laws, and the structural and procedural limitations of the legal process creates a “web of censorship” that fails to provide the legal protection required for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics at King’s College London Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Abstract The aim of this research is to examine the theme of divine uniqueness and unity within the polytheistic structures free exercise of the Ancient Greek worldright to freedom of speech and expression. However, focusing on what is referred to as 'Orphism'despite these limitations, exploring the relevant sources and examining its development from the Classical period through Hellenistic Judaism and into the Christian era. In this project I have looked at different sources linked to Orphism which present a divine figure that emerges from the plurality increasing intervention of a polytheistic structure and appears to acquire the status of a 'one' god (separate and complete). To do so, I have also analysed the Christian reception of these sources, since many Christian authors quote them with different points of view and levels of appreciation. Key works include pseudonon-Justin's De monarchia and Cohortatio ad Graecos, Xxxxxxx'x Protrepticus and Stromateis, Xxxxxxxx' Praeparatio Evangelica and the Theosophia Tubingensis. By investigating these sources, including variously dated fragments such as the Orphic Hymn to Xxxx and Xxxx. Hymn. 15, 19, 20, I have traced the development of this topic in successive historical periods and environments, an example of which is to be found state actors in the poem known as Hieros Logos composed process of censorship, the role of courts cannot be undermined. As the constitutional authority to interpret and define the scope of freedom of speech and expression, they continue to play a dominant role in Alexandria the politics of censorship in Egypt within Hellenistic Judaism around the II century BCE, which imitates an Orphic Hieros LogosIndian context.

Given the misogyny inherent in much of the discourse of women's madness as written by male writers over the centuries, the project asks why this ambivalent figure should appear so prevalently in the narratives of three generations of women authors during this time. The thesis explores whether the madness featured can be read as a metaphor for crisis, or rebellion, or both, and asks to what extent, when read through Hellenistic Judaism a feminist optic, madness is effective or self- defeating. Using the post-Lacanian psycholinguistic theory of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, I argue that the madwoman stands as a signpost for an anxiety of authorship at the intersection of crisis and liberation for women authors seeking to inscribe themselves into a male-dominated socio-linguistic system. This attempt at inscription entails a process of autogenography – (re)generating the self through writing – that is productive for the authors involved in terms of literary output, but does not always produce unequivocally positive outcomes on a personal level. The project also examines the motif of female sacrifice – often presented as self-sacrifice – recurring prominently alongside the figure of the madwoman in the texts discussed, to ask what function this sacrifice fulfils. Does it represent an abjection of the feminine for authors who have internalised misogynistic literary standards and traditions in relation to female authorship, or does it represent a process of sublimation for the woman author as part of an attempt to assert linguistic and literary autonomy? I conclude that the madwoman and the leitmotif of female/feminine sacrifice are intimately bound up with questions of female authorship, and the continuing evolution of these tropes reveals some marked differences between the challenges facing women writers at different moments of the past century, and also some interesting similarities.

Aug. 2023 Henotheism RELIGIOUS OFFENSE AND THE CENSORSHIP OF PUBLICATIONS IN INDIA: LAW, LEGAL PROCESS AND THE ROLE OF JUDICIARY XXXXXXX XXXXX Xxxx’x College London Supervisors XXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX THIS THESIS IS SUBMITTED TO KING’S COLLEGE LONDON FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ABSTRACT In this work, I analyse the role of judiciary in Orphic Sources Originsthe process of censorship in India. Focussing on the subject of “Religious offense and censorship of publications,” I examine the rationales and justifications given by courts to restrict freedom of speech and expression. I argue that the issues like public order, Development and Reception Submitted the concern to protect religious sentimentalities of different communities from hurt in a secular democracy, form the bedrock on which the courts construct the legal justification for curtailment of right to freedom of expression. In the process, the courts define the “reasonability” of restrictions, as advocated under article 19(2) of the constitution, very expansively, thereby allowing wide latitude for state intervention in the free exercise of this fundamental right. In a way, the position of the courts reflect a sense of legal patronage for state action against misuse of freedom of speech and expression, and it also exhibits a form of legal paternalism where the courts educates the citizens regarding the permissible limits of “matter” and “manner” of speech acts. I further argue that this attitude of the courts, along with the ambiguity attached with the nature of statutory laws, and the structural and procedural limitations of the legal process creates a “web of censorship” that fails to provide the legal protection required for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics at King’s College London Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Abstract The aim of this research is to examine the theme of divine uniqueness and unity within the polytheistic structures free exercise of the Ancient Greek worldright to freedom of speech and expression. However, focusing on what is referred to as 'Orphism'despite these limitations, exploring the relevant sources and examining its development from the Classical period through Hellenistic Judaism and into the Christian era. In this project I have looked at different sources linked to Orphism which present a divine figure that emerges from the plurality increasing intervention of a polytheistic structure and appears to acquire the status of a 'one' god (separate and complete). To do so, I have also analysed the Christian reception of these sources, since many Christian authors quote them with different points of view and levels of appreciation. Key works include pseudonon-Justin's De monarchia and Cohortatio ad Graecos, Xxxxxxx'x Protrepticus and Stromateis, Xxxxxxxx' Praeparatio Evangelica and the Theosophia Tubingensis. By investigating these sources, including variously dated fragments such as the Orphic Hymn to Xxxx and Xxxx. Hymn. 15, 19, 20, I have traced the development of this topic in successive historical periods and environments, an example of which is to be found state actors in the poem known as Hieros Logos composed process of censorship, the role of courts cannot be undermined. As the constitutional authority to interpret and define the scope of freedom of speech and expression, they continue to play a dominant role in Alexandria the politics of censorship in Egypt within Hellenistic Judaism around the II century BCE, which imitates an Orphic Hieros LogosIndian context. This thesis contributes a new approach to the theme of Greek henotheism and to the study of the divine figure in Orphism, drawing attention to the historical, literary and cultural relevance of the sources, making use of a comparative approach. Thanks to the contribution of the Cognitive Studies of religion this project will primarily demonstrate that it is possible to find henotheistic tendencies in Orphic sources and how these texts are intertwined with other philosophical and religious ideas. The analysis of the aforementioned selected texts will reframe and improve our understanding of part of the Orphic literary corpus, showing the reader how these literary sources can inform us about the reflection on and devotion to a ‘one god’ in Greek religion, and especially in Orphic manifestations.

Jun. 2023 Henotheism THE REDEMPTION OF PHYSICAL REALITY: FILMS FROM THE BERLIN SCHOOL THROUGH THE LENS OF XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX’X MATERIAL AESTHETICS Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx PhD in Orphic Sources OriginsGerman Studies Abstract This thesis explores the contemporaneity of Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx’x conception of cinema as outlined in his book Theory of Film: The Redemption of Physical Reality, Development first published in 1960, and Reception Submitted defined by Xxxxxxxx as a study of “material aesthetics.” Though the book is often seen solely as a contribution, albeit a significant one, to so-called classical film theory, in this study I want to make the case for the degree ongoing relevance of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics at KingXxxxxxxx’s College London Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Abstract The aim of this research is to examine the theme of divine uniqueness and unity within the polytheistic structures notion of the Ancient Greek worldmedium, focusing on what is referred to as 'Orphism', exploring presenting ways of making his approach productive for the relevant sources and examining its development from the Classical period through Hellenistic Judaism and into the Christian eraexamination of contemporary cinema. In this project I have looked at different sources linked to Orphism which present a divine figure that emerges from the plurality of a polytheistic structure and appears to acquire the status of a 'one' god (separate and complete). To do soAs case studies, I have also analysed chosen films associated with the Christian reception Berlin School, a group of these sourcescontemporary German filmmakers whose material realism strikes me as ideally suited for discussions in relation to Xxxxxxxx’s material aesthetics. This is what I aim to do in this study: bringing together Xxxxxxxx’s idea of cinema’s redemptive potential for re-experiences of the material world with contemporary realist filmmaking. However, since many Christian authors quote them I do not consider Theory of Film a dogmatic manual of cinematic realism but an open text that raises significant issues about the medium’s relationship with different points of view and levels of appreciationreality. Key works include pseudo-Justin's De monarchia and Cohortatio ad GraecosThus, Xxxxxxx'x Protrepticus and Stromateisrather than aiming to prove Xxxxxxxx’s film theory right or wrong, Xxxxxxxx' Praeparatio Evangelica I want to use the book as a toolbox to think about contemporary cinema and the Theosophia Tubingensiscurrent possibilities for experiences of reality. By investigating these sourcesIn so doing, including variously dated fragments such as the Orphic Hymn to Xxxx and Xxxx.
