| Summary: | The use of the word 'contraction' for an ethical work is linked to the potential of withdrawal. This study intends to explore what kind of novel theological and, especially, ethical emphasis would be possible in terms of contraction. At the same time, the abstract model of contraction will be scrutinized through the corridor metaphor, which contains significant contractional moments but also reveals the ambivalence of contractive acts. In other words, corridor-considerations help to describe the space that emerges after contractions, where open spaces such as corridors or esplanades occur. The social and ethical considerations which accompany the architecture of corridors are intended to illuminate some major ethical implications of contractions that will help to shape as a new mode of thought in ethics. The shift to prioritize specific actions of contractions over actions of intervention represents how the transformation of Christian ethics can be reconceptualised. The coexisting tendency to invade space (Raumnahme) and to give space (Raumgabe) also exists in Christianity. But there is reason to reshape the ethical mode of thought in light of the giving of space. In tune with findings from the Hebrew tradition and the Jesus movement, actions of contractions for the sake of the other ground Christian ethics. |
