| description | Contemporary social discourse utilizes scientific criteria to analyze events,
texts and people’s behaviour from the point of view of their power and impact on
historical transformations. Printed and audio-visual materialregarding John Paul
II’s pilgrimage to the Middle East in the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000 were
published and made public during his visit and shortly afterwards. In retrospect,
this event allows for a
well-balanced semiotic analysis focusing on the intentional
selection of places visited by the Holy Father, his rhetoric used both in official and
private speeches, the symbolism of his gestures and overall behaviour, especially in
their religious and cultural context, as well as on the presence of signs and symbols
in the whole conception of the pilgrimage project. This paper attempts to synthesize
these elements which result from an earlier interdisciplinary analysis, taking into
consideration the different perspectives be it historical, socio-religious (referring
to three monotheist religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam), rhetorical and
aesthetic. In this case, semiotics provides a
framework to analyze and justify the
contribution of the mentioned pilgrimage in a
broad context of a
redeeming Church
in the early 21
st
century. |
