Theopetic: Genealogy and Perspective

U članku se na temelju analize radova Stanleyja Romainea Hop-pera, Amosa Nivena Wildera i Davida LeRoya Millera donose pro-gramatske odrednice teopoetike: 1) naša je topologija bitka promi-jenjena; 2) zapadna se svijest preoblikuje; 3) ono što je važno pri interpretaciji psihička je dubina koja imaginacijskom snagom os-tvaruje modalitete identifikacije; 4) naši teo-logoi pripadaju području mitopoetskih iskaza i stoga teo-logos nije teologički, već teo-poetički. Zatim se upozorava na doprinos takvoga projekta (obnova interesa za imaginaciju, korekcija Bultmannova programa demitologizacije i poststrukturalističkoga »zatvaranja« u tekst, pomak prema društveno relevantnoj teologiji, razumijevanju tijela onkraj kartezijanskoga dualizma res extensa – res cogitans, isticanje važnosti doksologije, zahvaljivanja, iskustva i svakodnevnoga). Konačno, upozorava se na potrebnu korekciju projekta teopoetike distingviranjem teološkoga i pjesničkoga diskursa.Based on the works of Stanley Romaine Hopper, Amos Niven Wil-der and David LeRoy Miller, the article introduces the programmatic determinants of theopoetics: 1) our topology of being has changed; 2) the Western consciousness is being transformed; 3) what matters in interpretation is the psychic depth which achieves modalities of identification through the power of imagination; 4) our theo-logoi belong to the realm of mythopoetic expressions and, therefore, theo-logos is not theo-logical but theo-poetic. The article then points to the contribution of such a project (a renewal of interest for imagination, correction of Bultmann’s programme of demythologization and poststructuralist »closing« into the text, shift towards socially relevant theology, understanding of the body beyond the Cartesian dualism of res extensa – res cogitans, emphasizing the importance of doxology, thanksgiving, experience and the everyday). Finally, the article points out a needed correction of the theopoetics project by distinguishing between the biblical and poetic discourse
