Designing personal grief rituals: An analysis of symbolic objects and actions

ABSTRACTPersonal grief rituals are beneficial in dealing with complicated grief, but challenging to design, as they require symbolic objects and actions meeting clients’ emotional needs. The authors reported interviews with 10 therapists with expertise in both grief therapy and grief rituals. Findings indicate three types of rituals supporting honoring, letting go, and self transformation, with the latter being particularly complex. Outcomes also point to a taxonomy of ritual objects for framing and remembering ritual experience, and for capturing and processing grief. Besides symbolic possessions, the authors identified other types of ritual objects including transformational and future-oriented ones. Symbolic actions include creative craft of ritual objects, respectful handling, disposal, and symbolic play. They conclude with theoretical implications of these findings, and a reflection on their value for tailored, creative co-design of grief rituals. In particular, several implications for designing grief rituals were identified that include accounting for the client’s need, selecting (or creating) the most appropriate objects and actions from the identified types, integrating principles of both grief and art/drama therapy, exploring clients’ affinity for the ancient elements as medium of disposal in letting go rituals, and the value of technology for recording and reflecting on ritual experience.

Culturally creative cities in Japan: Reality and prospects

The creative city concept was recently introduced in Japan as an urban planning tool with the potential to alleviate social and economic problems related to cities. This differs from previous approaches to urban planning creativity in Japan in that it focuses on culture, the creative arts in particular, rather than science and technology. It has considerable appeal for cities addressing difficulties with on-going globalization, economic stagnation, and depopulation. However, the real volume of the so-called creative industries (which embody the creative city concept) is not large and is not growing, despite high expectations.This paper examines the case of creative city policy in the city of Kanazawa, which has formally adopted the creative craft city strategy, using advanced design capabilities to revitalize traditional craft industries. Conventional market-based analysis indicates that it is very difficult to halt the decline of such industries, which are steadily losing competitiveness. On the other hand, promotion of traditional craft industries and other capacity-building measures does help to increase the attractiveness of a city, and indirectly supports service oriented industries including cultural tourism. Thus, creative city policy can enhance cultural assets and contribute to a shift from previous growth models, which were largely dependent on manufacturing, to a more service-oriented and sustainable model. This would lead to an increase in visitors and consumption, and would eventually support the maintenance of the urban functions essential for Japanese cities with decreasing populations.

Buddhism and bell hooks: Liberatory Aesthetics and the Radical Subjectivity of No‐Self

This article engages bell hooks's concept of “radical black subjectivity” through the lens of the Buddhist doctrine of no‐self. Relying on the Zen theorist Dōgen and on resources from Japanese aesthetics, I argue that non‐attachment to the self clarifies hooks's claim that radical subjectivity unites our capacity for critical resistance with our capacity to appreciate beauty. I frame this argument in terms of hooks's concern that postmodernist identity critiques dismiss the identity claims of disempowered peoples. On the one hand, identity critique has an emotional component, as it involves questioning the self and possibly letting go of aspects of that self in which a person has inevitably made emotional investments. On the other hand, it has an aesthetic component, as it opens a space for the creative crafting and recrafting of identity. Japanese aesthetics emphasizes that all aesthetic appreciation is accompanied by feelings of mournfulness, for the object of aesthetic appreciation is transient. Linking hooks's liberatory aesthetics with the resources of the Japanese tradition suggests that mournfulness in the face of self‐loss necessarily accompanies all instances of critical resistance. Thus non‐attachment becomes a useful framework in which to understand both the emotional and aesthetic components of empowered identity critique.

The relationship between quilting and wellbeing

Within public health, activities that promote and maintain wellbeing remain limited and relatively unexplored. In particular, little is known about the relationship between creative craft hobbies and wellbeing in the general population. Twenty-nine semi-structured interviews were conducted with women from a local quilting group. Ideas and experiences of quilting in relation to wellbeing were explored with participants. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed. Cognitive, emotional and social processes were uncovered, which participants identified as important for their wellbeing. Participants found quilting to be a productive use of time and an accessible means of engaging in free creativity. Colour was psychologically uplifting. Quilting was challenging, demanded concentration and participants maintained and learned new skills. Participants experienced 'flow' while quilting. A strong social network fostered the formation of strong friendships. Affirmation from others boosted self-esteem and increased motivation for skill development. Quilts were often given altruistically and gave quilting added purpose. The findings illustrate how creative craft hobbies such as quilting can be a meaningful vehicle for enhancing wellbeing. This study sets the foundation for further research into creativity, creative hobbies and hobbies in general.

Narrating the Church: Protestant Women Pastors Challenge Nostalgic Desire

During the women's movement of the sixties, evangelical (also called biblical or Christian) feminists began to explore what liberation meant within their faith traditions. In this paper, Bammert situates the voices of contemporary Christian women pastors within American evangelical feminism. Over the course of two years, she interviewed twenty women pastors from diverse Christian communities and discovered rhetorically nuanced ways for understanding and living a complex faith tradition. Consequently, women pastors occupying spaces, places, and roles traditionally gendered male exposes new ways of thinking about the female subject-in-relation. Additionally, women pastors counter contemporary desires to sediment Christian theology and practices in warmly remembered pasts or in deferring life to idealized futures through the creative crafting of the present. The results are rhetorical resources for integrating transcendence and immanence within the lived moment and new ways of thinking about feminist rhetoric, cultural practices, and social change.
