„Science & Cinema”: Leinwandstreifen zu religiösen Themen im Wissenschafts-Check von Christian Wessely

Film ab für Forschung hieß es am 30. November 2017 im Rechbauerkino. Fundamentaltheologe Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Christian Wessely und Dr. Fritz Treiber machten im Rahmen von „Science & Cinema“, einer Veranstaltungsreihe der 7. fakultät der Uni Graz, eine wissenschaftliche Nahaufnahme von populären Leinwandstreifen mit religiösen Inhalten.

Anhand von Ausschnitten bekannter Blockbuster und Klassiker, wie „Exodus: Götter und Könige“, „Die letzte Versuchung Christi“, „Pulp Fiction“, „Jesus Christ Superstar“ sowie „Das Lied von Bernadette“, erklärte Christian Wessely die biblischen Motive und theologischen Querverbindungen. „Die Filmemacher greifen auf bekannte Geschichten zurück, die man versteht, egal welcher Religion man angehört, Atheist oder Agnostiker ist“, erklärte der Wissenschafter Erfolge von Monumentalfilmen wie „Noah“.
„A Serious Man“ wiederum gebe sehr gut die Hiob-Erzählung aus dem Alten Testament wieder. Dargestellte Vorstellungen von Himmel und Hölle, etwa in „Constantine“, entsprangen hingegen der Fantasie der Regisseure. Die Anziehungskraft ist für Wessely verständlich: „Die Faszination der letzten Dinge zieht sich quer durch die Menschheitsgeschichte.“
Das transportierte Jesus-Bild sei sehr weichgespült, dem widerspreche die Forschung: „Die Propheten des alten Israel haben auch radikalere Zeichen gesetzt.“

Aufgrund der großen Nachfrage gibt es ein Da Capo der Science & Cinema-Ausgabe „Jesus, Judas, Jenseits“
WANN: Mittwoch, 24. Jänner 2018, 18 Uhr
WO: Filmzentrum im Rechbauerkino, Rechbauerstraße 6, 8010 Graz

Der Eintritt ist frei, Anmeldung sind ab sofort möglich:

Science & Cinema ist Teil der 7. fakultät, des Zentrums für Gesellschaft, Wissen und Kommunikation, und wird von der Bank Austria unterstützt.

Climate change is driving up temperatures not only in summer. Winters are also getting warmer – with dramatic consequences for glaciers, permafrost, snow cover and the freezing of lakes.

Theologian at the University of Graz: What the excommunication of the Society of St Pius X

Following the schism involving the Society of St Pius X, there is a need for discussion.

“HeinrichBiCool”: University of Graz demonstrates the effects of green facades and roofs

The University of Graz has launched a pioneering project at the University Centre for Theology. Its name, “HeinrichBiCool”, says it all: a comprehensive system of green facades and roof will cool the building at Heinrichstraße 80 during the summer. At the same time, this will create a new habitat for plants and animals, helping to increase biodiversity. The accompanying monitoring programme will provide detailed data on the impact of the measures on indoor climate, energy consumption and biodiversity. The findings will lay a scientifically sound foundation for further projects aimed at making cities sustainable, climate-resilient and liveable. The partners in this project, funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), are AEE INTEC – Institute for Sustainable Technologies, Technisches Büro Siegfried Stark, the landscape architecture and urban planning firm “studio boden”, and Ökoteam Graz.
