O presente trabalho objetiva captar os sentidos atribuídos pelos fiéis da Convenção Batista Brasileira ao que se convencionou chamar de Ecumenismo. Baseando-nos na abordagem teórica das representações sociais, fundamentada por Serge Moscovici e Denise Jodelet, em nosso trabalho partimos de uma preocupação que norteou toda a pesquisa. Centramos estudos em conhecer melhor, a partir do princípio que caracteriza a representação como uma forma de saber prático ligando um sujeito a um objeto, o que\como pensam os (as) fiéis da Igreja batista, “a partir do seu lugar”, sobre a prática ecumênica. Entendemos que as práticas estabelecidas pelos fiéis pesquisados inserem-se em tempos-espaços não cristalizados, sujeito às dinâmicas sócio-culturais que, ora seguem, ora modificam, ora transgridem as regras estabelecidas por atores hegemônicos (Instituições, mercado, e outros). Através dos questionários, buscamos captar aspectos aventados pelos participantes, relacionados aos processos constituintes de suas representações, ou seja, como as relações estabelecidas pelos mesmos na articulação de sua conduta como fiéis da Igreja batista e a prática ecumênica, se constituem através dos processos de objetivação e ancoragem.
The study aimed to investigate the meanings referred by the faithful of the Brazilian Baptist Convention to the notion of ecumenism. The adopted theoretical framework was the Theory of Social Representations proposed by Serge Moscovici and Denise Jodelet. We focus studies to better know from the principle that characterizes the representation as a form of practical knowledge linking an individual to an object, which \ like to think (the) Baptist Church's faithful, "from its place" on the ecumenical practice. We supposed that the established practices raise and flourish in a non-crystallized space-time continuum, influenced by sociocultural dynamics that may follow, disobey or change rules defined by hegemonic agents (institutions, market, and other). Using questionnaires specifically developed for the study, we searched to assess opinions related elaborated by them are defined in the articulation of established by them in the articulation of his conduct as a faithful Baptist Church and ecumenical practice by means of the “objetivation” and “anchior” process.

Full textThis thesis proposes to analyze and interpret the social representation of sexuality in seminarians and priests. To achieve this purpose, firstly the author did documentary research to show how the Catholic Church understands sexuality. Secondly, he sought to understand with what emphasis the Magisterium of the Catholic Church treats the theme of sexuality in seminaries and in priestly ministry. And lastly, an empirical research was done with seminarians and priests on six themes related to sexuality: their understanding of sexuality, the challenges they encounter in their sexuality, meaning of celibacy for them, homosexuality in seminaries, their understanding of self-eroticism, and the phenomenon of pedophilia in the Catholic Church. It is a qualitative research using a written questionnaire. The participants were 50 seminarians and 51 priests. After the questionnaire was administered, all the information was read, tabulated, and categorized according to its semantic dimension and analyzed in the light of the Theory of Social Representations in line with a thematic analysis, which is one aspect of content analysis. With the analysis of data was built representational maps with categories and subcategories revealing core elements that constitute such representation. The thesis consists of six chapters. The first presents the organic structure of the thesis in view of the methodological procedures used to perform the research. The second chapter, also theoretical, deals with the ontological and epistemological presuppositions of the Theory of Social Representations. The third chapter treats thedocumental research conducted to reveal social representation of sexuality according to Catholic Church teaching. The fourth chapter, also documentary, is dedicated to the study of social representation of sexuality in accord with orientation of some documents of the according to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church related to the formation of seminarians and those in priestly ministry. The fifth presents the empirical results of social representation of sexuality presented by the seminarians. Such representation is revealed from six representational maps with two underlying major comprehensive dimensions of sexuality in each of the maps. The sixth and final chapter, also empirical, points to the social representation of sexuality from the perspective of priests. As the previous chapter, sexuality from the perspective of priests is presented in six maps representatives in the light of the two major comprehensive dimensions of sexuality in each of the structured maps.

Full textThis research was developed with the purpose of understanding the insertion of the evangelicals in the Brazilian political institutions, an attempt to articulate such phenomena with the debate on the partisan representation. It\'s puzzling that an \"Evangelical Party\" was not formed even after the expressive amount of elected representatives this group has had since the last Constituent Assembly. Why is it so? The empirical work consisted in testing the hypothesis that there is no common identity among the various evangelical groups that would justify the existence of a political party. Through a data set of the voters and another one of the representatives of the whole country, the presence of distinct positions was not observed. There isn\'t a political identity that would turn the evangelical voters and representatives distinguished from the others groups. This work also evidenced the fragility of the political parties\' formation model based on identities. In the Brazilian case, this is characterized by a high partisan fragmentation and a lack of distinction between most of the many political parties.

Full textThe purpose of this work is to investigate the representation of Devil in the Universal Church follower imaginariness. We analyze the anthropological, historical and social origins of this imaginariness and its effects on the Universal Church follower. We also intend to identify and analyze the mechanisms developed by the Universal Church follower to understand his and world problems. Then we will explore the historical and doctrinal Universal Church structures, as well as its theological mechanisms such as the Theology of the Holy War and the Theology of the Prosperity. The representation of Devil has a meaningful input in the follower imaginariness in due to the speeches of the Church that often meet some people necessities. The only way to salvation is the association to God through the religious institutions that function as mediators to the sacred itself. The Universal Church follower represents Devil as the great reason of his pain and grief. Defeating him is only possible by acts of faith and right decisions.
Este trabalho teve como objetivo investigar as representações do Diabo no imaginário dos fiéis da Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (IURD). Pretendeu-se examinar também as origens antropológicas, históricas e sociais das representações do Diabo e suas influências nas representações dos fiéis da IURD. Além de analisar os mecanismos desenvolvidos pelo fiel da IURD para a compreensão dos problemas do mundo e de si mesmo, exploramos também as estruturas históricas e doutrinárias desta igreja, bem como seus mecanismos teológicos, como a teologia da guerra santa e a teologia da prosperidade. As representações do Diabo ganham um significativo reforço no imaginário dos fiéis, através dos discursos da Igreja Universal dirigidos à pessoas geralmente fragilizadas. Para elas a única forma de salvação é através da associação com Deus mediante a instituição religiosa. O fiel da IURD representa o Diabo como o grande provocador de suas dores a aflições e só por meio de ações da fé e da tomada de decisão pessoal que ele pode ser derrotado.

O objetivo é compreender como as representações franciscanas foram ressignificadas, ao longo do período de renovação católica (1950 a 1980), permeadas pelo contexto histórico, promovendo a edificação e perpetuação da Igreja Católica, justificando a vinda e permanência da Missão Franciscana no novo campo de missão religiosa.

Full textThis dissertation treats the relationship between the students and the pedagogical proposal (religion) at the Pedro Alves Ferreira School, Santa Cruz and Las Vegas I neighbourhood, Bela Vista, Goiânia-Goiás. Using Durkeirm as the theoretical basis and his phrase "the child to be prepared for society needs to be instructed by his teachers", 36 students demonstrated through drawings their main religious scene, obtaining temple/church as the response. Base on this we discovered that the temple/church represent a significant influence on the students and as such need to be considered as part of the pedagogical proposal. Noting that the temple/church structure nurtures a sense of the sacred cultivating peace and harmony... whilst daily life in the neighbourhood is profane, violent and unhappy. Considering the temple/church as space for human integration the discussion led to the conclusion that the temple/church was a place where the students from the Pedro Alves Ferreira School felt protected. The pedagogical proposal seeks to rescue some of the aspects that the students acquired at the temple/church before coming to school, without forgetting the standard pedagogical proposal of the school, as the teacher has to work with the symbolic world view of the students.
Esta dissertação ocupa-se da relação entre representação (religiosa) do educando e a proposta pedagógica, proposta esta específica para a Escola Pedro Alves Ferreira, nos bairros Santa Cruz e Las Vegas I, em Bela Vista de Goiás-GO. Tendo como base teórica o sociólogo Durkheim e nele a máxima de que a criança, para ser bem preparada para uma sociedade, necessita ser coergida pelos seus mestres, propõem-se a 36 educandos que mostrem por meio de desenhos qual é a sua maior representação religiosa, obtendo-se com resposta o templo/igreja. Com base nesse dado, cientifica-se que os templos/igrejas presentes nos Bairros Santa Cruz e Las Vegas I exercem uma coerção significativa sob o educando e por isso faz-se necessário considerá-los como um meio que pode amadurecer uma proposta pedagógica. Tendo em vista a coerção encontrada nos templos/igrejas por meio da própria estrutura de manutenção do sagrado, o educando é alimentado de que no templo/igreja cultiva sentimentos de paz, harmonia, sentem-se como se estivesse voando... enquanto que a vida cotidiana, profana, no bairro, no qual mora, é violenta e desprazerosa. Considerar o templo/igreja como um espaço de integração do ser humano impulsiona a discussão de que ele, o templo, possui vários sentidos, oferecendo-lhe a sensação de estar protegido das mazelas sociais, também, tão presentes no campo de pesquisa, e que se refletem no educando da Escola Pedro Alves Ferreira. A proposta pedagógica fecha-se em resgatar alguns elementos apreendidos no templo/igreja, considerando que este coerge o educando bem antes da escola, porém não deixa de seguir os padrões didático-escolares, pois a intenção é fazer com que o professor trabalhe o mundo simbólico do educando, as representações, em uma escola regular.

O objetivo da presente tese é o de analisar o papel da Igreja Católica, suas práticas e representações, no combate ao movimento feminista e na construção de uma identidade feminina “adequada” aos padrões morais católicos, na Paraíba (1910-1940). Observando as regularidades e singularidades das principais expressões feministas paraibanas da época. Partindo de um contexto marcado pelas ambiguidades de uma sociedade que caminhava rumo à modernização, mas sem abrir mão de uma estrutura social tradicionalmente patriarcal, investigamos como as ideias feministas foram recepcionadas pelos paraibanos e paraibanas depois de uma avalanche de discursos, principalmente, católicos que insistiam em apontar o feminismo como um mal social e uma realidade a ser controlada. A disseminação de representações feministas como seres revoltados, diabólicos e contrários à ordem moral cristã católica consistiu num dos instrumentos mais eficazes no controle das ideias feministas na Paraíba, o que não excluiu, entretanto, afastamentos e manipulações. Especificamente, traçamos os seguintes objetivos: analisar as primeiras expressões feministas, suas defensoras e suas ideias; compreender a relação entre a fundação do movimento noelista paraibano, organizado por mulheres católicas, e as estratégias usadas pela Igreja no combate ao feminismo e na construção de um modelo feminino ideal a ser seguido; identificar o papel desempenhado pela Igreja Católica enquanto matriz agenciadora de representações e ações sobre o feminismo e as ideias de emancipação feminista na Paraíba; problematizar sobre a fundação da Associação Paraibana pelo Progresso Feminino e seus propósitos feministas; pesquisar sobre a construção de uma rede de sociabilidade entre as feministas paraibanas que dirigiam a Associação Paraibana pelo Progresso Feminino e a principal líder feminista brasileira, Bertha Lutz, e presidente da Federação Brasileira pelo Progresso Feminino; apontar a influência das práticas católicas na construção de uma identidade feminina considerada ideal. Teoricamente, seguimos pela perspectiva da história das mulheres e sua interface com a história cultural, cujas principais referências foram Soihet (1997, 2006, 2013), Del Priore (2010), Chartier (1990, 1995), Bourdieu (2010), Foucault (2008) e sobre a Igreja Católica Azzi (2008), Mainwaring (2004). Metodologicamente, tomamos como lições os estudos de documento-monumento de Le Goff (1992) e a noção de representação elaborada por Chartier (1990). Quanto às fontes, procuramos confrontar discursos do jornal A Imprensa, cartas pastorais, encíclicas, jornal A União, revista Natal, relatórios dos congressos noelistas, atas do Núcleo Noelista Paraibano, correspondências da Associação Paraibana pelo Progresso Feminino e a bibliografia sobre o tema.
The object of this thesis is to analyze the role of the Catholic Church, its practices and representations, to combat the feminist movement and the construction of a "proper" female identity to Catholic moral standards, Paraíba (1910-1940). Observing regularities and singularities of the main feminist expressions of Paraíba time. Starting from a context marked by the ambiguities of a society that was walking toward modernization, but without giving up a traditionally patriarchal social structure, investigate how feminist ideas were received by the Paraíba and after a barrage of speeches, mainly Catholics who insisted on pointing feminism as a social evil and a reality to be controlled. The spread of feminist representations as being angry, evil and contrary to Catholic Christian moral order consisted of one of the most effective tools in controlling feminist ideas in Paraíba, what did not, however, leave and manipulations. Specifically, we draw the following objectives: to analyze the early feminist expressions, their advocates and their ideas understand the relationship between the foundation of the movement noelista Paraiba, organized by Catholic women, and strategies used by the Church in fighting feminism and the construction of an ideal female role model; identify the role played by the Catholic Church as agenciadora array of representations and actions on feminism and feminist ideas of emancipation in Paraíba; questioning about the founding of the Association for the Advancement Paraibana Female feminists and their purposes; research on building a network of sociability among feminists who ran Paraíba Association for the Advancement of Women and the main Brazilian feminist leader, Bertha Lutz, and president of the Brazilian Association for the Advancement of Women; point to the influence of Catholic practices in the construction of a feminine identity considered ideal. Theoretically, we follow the perspective of women's history and its connection to cultural history, whose main references were Soihet (1997, 2006, 2013), Del Priore (2010), Chartier (1990, 1995), Bourdieu (2010) and the Catholic Church Azzi (2008), Mainwaring (2004). Methodologically, took lessons as studies document-Monument Le Goff (1992) and the notion of representation developed by Chartier (1990). The sources, we seek to confront speeches newspaper The Press, pastoral letters, encyclicals, The Union Newspaper, Christmas magazine reports noelistas conferences, minutes of the Center Noelista Paraiba, Paraiba correspondence of the Association for the Advancement of Women and the literature on the subject.

Full textThe purpose of this thesis was to describe the phenomenon of adherence to the neo-pentecostal churches from the point of view of social psychology, and more specifically, of the theory of social representations. This way, our proposition was to identify the constitutive elements of a religious practice establishing a relationship with these social representations. Specifically, the research identified and analysed the process of utilization of the religious common sense by the neo-pentecostal commuty called Igreja Mundial do Poder de Deus [World Church of Gods Power], as a generative instrument of adherence, taking into consideration the emotional factors which are relevant to the common sense of the group, as the driving force motivating their attachment to this church. This way, we reach the four basic themes which allow us to identify the social representations built upon the interactivity of the church. The four themes are: miracle offerings and extraordinaty deeds; the singularity of the church; tha battle between Good and Evil; the spiritual leader and the people. The social representations identified were: the social representation of the church as a place for blessings and extraodinary deeds; the social representation of the demons; the social representation of the Divine and the social representation of the Gods Anointed. Having in mind the representations identified and analysed we came to the conclusion that, in the researched church, the common sense - while circulating significations among the church members - combined with emotional factors which are pertinent to them, constitutes the causative factor of the adherence, to the extent that the individuals realise that the solutions for their demands and misfortunes are offered by the church in an identified manner with the meaning already present in this common sense.

Full textThis work investigates the presence of the Catholic Church in west of Paraná State in the period of 1930 a 1990. The period is relative to the moment that the Church is made institutional in the region. The role of the Church with the settlers presents a wealth of elements that built a body of representations, which contributed in a two-way process. At the same time the Church valorized the presence of the settlers, these had the possibility of settling in the region, and they established a relation of valorization and of importance in the role played by the Church. The Catholic Church, in settling its presence in the region, developed an own strategy of performance with the settlers, using the discourses that made possible to build itself as an institution of single necessity to the settlers, to provide them with “spirituals blessings”. At the same time, it searched to build the settler’s image as an unselfish man to the work and turned to the interests of the group as well. The reception of the catholic discourse and the pastoral actions to make the discourse find receptiveness by the churchgoers it was also an analyzed issue. In pointing out to the construction of the imaginary religious, it searched to investigate from the practices and discourses done by the catholic cleric with the settlers and the way as these were received for the settlers. Many actions were developed by the catholic cleric and continue until today, aiming the best way to get to the churchgoers in the several social levels. The realization of the Vatican Ecumenical Council II was a moment of redefinition of the Catholic Church. The work shows the Catholic Church and its performance in the region and the interferences that it started to suffer from the conciliatory thought that passed it by in a world scope, elaborating again a new concept of Church and the repercussion of this changes in the region. At last, the process of mechanization and urbanization of the field, which was intensified from the decade of 1970, provoked a situation of redefinition of the Church role, which began to remodel its discourses and rebuild other representations before the changes registered at this period. Adding to this, it is realized, that the reception of the discourses by the churchgoers also began to demand, from the speakers, more elaborated and convincing strategies. The conclusive approach of the work consists in the demonstration of the representations built or by the agents of the Church that worked during the process of colonization, or by the agents of the Church that worked during the process of modernization.

In this research we analyze the antiprotestant polemic in Brazil, from the works published by Father Julio Maria De Lombaerde, whose activity in the city of Manhumirim, Minas Gerais, between 1928 and 1944, was highlighted by constant struggles with the sons of Luther . Through his writings, Father Julio Maria became nationally known as a polemist, receiving the title the hammer of Brazilian Protestantism . The antiprotestant polemic contributed to Roman Catholicism s doctrinal and social affirmation, in the context of the so-called movement of catholic restoration initiated in the 1920 s, aiming to rechristianize the nation. Understood as an exercise of representation, through the polemic against Protestantism, the Catholic Church constructed a meaning not only for its religious opponent, but for itself, affirming to be the holder of the only true and truly national faith. In the works of Father Julio Maria, in particular, Protestantism was represented through fear and mockery, having to be, at the same time, feared and despised. Based, on a great extent, on a discourse about the past, the antiprotestant polemic enters the field of historical culture, reproducing a historiography and configuring a territoriality both of representational order , aiming for the affirmation of Brazil as a catholic nation .

Júlio Maria De Lombaerde, cuja atuação na cidade de Manhumirim, em Minas Gerais, entre 1928 e 1944, foi marcada por constantes embates com os filhos de Lutero . Por meio de seus escritos, o Pe. Júlio Maria tornou-se nacionalmente conhecido como polemista, recebendo a alcunha de martelo do protestantismo no Brasil . A polêmica antiprotestante contribuiu para a afirmação doutrinária e social do catolicismo romano, no contexto do chamado movimento de restauração católica iniciado nos anos 1920, orientado pelo objetivo de recristianizar o país. Entendida como exercício de representação, através da polêmica contra o protestantismo, a Igreja Católica construiu um sentido não apenas para seu adversário religioso, mas para si mesma, afirmando-se como portadora da única fé verdadeira e legitimamente nacional. Nas obras do Pe. Júlio Maria, em particular, o protestantismo era representado a partir do medo e do escárnio, devendo ser, ao mesmo tempo, temido e desprezado. Fundamentada, em larga medida, num discurso sobre o passado, a polêmica antiprotestante adentra no campo da cultura histórica, reproduzindo uma historiografia e configurando uma territorialidade ambas de caráter representacional na busca pela afirmação do Brasil como país católico .

In this research we seek to study some main intellectual elaborations of Liberation Theology. From reading some of the works of two important theologians of this current, Clodovis Boff and Leonardo Boff, we reflect on the conceptions of history that are present in their writings published between the years from 1971 to 1989. Such theological formulations defended by the two authors are part of a non-hegemonic current within the Catholic Church. Attempting to contextualize more widely the dialogue between the movement in question and the History, we analyze the contributions of the Comiss?o de Estudos e Hist?ria da Igreja na Am?rica Latina (CEHILA) for the historiography of religion in Brazil and also its contributions to think critically and self-criticism the history of Christianity in Latin America. Lastly we also discuss some reactions to the theologians of Liberation and its incorporation of historiography and marxism, by other segment theologians, of that Church. About significant group of those critics, we limit ourselves to analyze the criticisms of Liberation Theology through documents published by four of these defenders of Catholic Orthodoxy: Joseph Ratzinger, Friar Boaventura Kloppenburg, Urban Ziles and Karl Josef Romer. The intention is to identify the different conceptions of history and the conflicts of representation within the Catholic Church.

Full textA Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (IURD) foi fundada há trinta e quatro anos e tem forte influência social e política. Sua capilaridade religiosa se expressa através da sua inserção em diversas mídias, como TV, rádio, jornal etc. e da participação política evidenciada pelas "bancadas evangélicas" nos diferentes parlamentos, onde predominam autoridades da IURD. Também se faz presente através dos milhares de templos construídos e espalhados por mais de 180 países. Sua estratégia de proselitismo religioso é baseada na conversão de adeptos de outras religiões. Sua hierarquia: obreiros, pastores e bispos, define a igreja como o maior "pronto-socorro" espiritual do Brasil. Caracterizada pelo oferecimento de solução de problemas imediatos e de natureza espiritual. Após algum tempo, conversos da IURD migram para outras igrejas evangélicas. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar as Representações Sociais da IURD segundo evangélicos dela egressos. Para tanto, foram entrevistados vinte indivíduos adultos, na Cidade do Rio de Janeiro, egressos da IURD. Como instrumento, utilizamos um questionário para entrevista semi-estruturada, composto por questões acerca da IURD e dados pessoais do entrevistado. O material resultante foi analisado a partir da análise de conteúdo. As entrevistas foram gravadas, com a autorização dos entrevistados e o comprometimento na manutenção do anonimato dos participantes. Dentre os resultados da pesquisa, confirmando o que é dito por seus líderes, encontramos a IURD como um pronto socorro, não só espiritual, como emocional e de saúde física. A migração da IURD para outras denominações cristãs está associada a três grandes categorias: a) o sujeito não tem mais necessidade do pronto-socorro; b) crítica às cobranças sistemáticas por bens espirituais; c) a necessidade de aprofundamento religioso. Neste aspecto, a IURD caracteriza-se por ser uma Igreja de transição, de início de vida espiritual cristã e de proselitismo voltado quase que exclusivamente para a conversão.
Universal Church of the Kingdom of God was founded 34 years ago and it is currently known by its undeniable social and political influence. As such, its religious capillarity is present into different sort of media like TV, radio and newspaper. In addition, the evangelical delegations sustain the Universal Church political activism at different parliaments, where UCKG authorities are predominant. Its social standing are also noticed on account of its thousands of temples built worldwide in more than 170 countries. Converting followers from other religions is what constitutes UCKG?s religious proselytism strategy. The clergy members of the UCKG, which comprises shepherds and bishops, label the UCKG as Brazil spiritual emergency site. This religious institution is considered to be specially designed to tackle immediate problem-solving issues, particularly the ones from the spiritual nature. After sometime, the UCKG adepts tend to move out to other evangelical denominations. The aim of this research was to identify the UCKG social representations according to its evangelical members. Twenty adult UCKG members, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, have been approached by a semi-structured interview about their personal data as well as information about the UCKG. The analysis of the resulting material was made according to its content. The interviews were recorded with the informants? previous consent and the commitment to keep their identities preserved. One of the outcomes of the research is to realize that the UCKG is not only a spiritual and emotional shelter but it also provides physical health. The migration from the UCKG to other Christian denominations falls into three broad categories: a) The individual has no longer an immediate-need of assistance; b) criticism about the compulsory monetary contribution to the church; c) the need of a deeper religious understanding. As far as those aforementioned issues are concerned, the UCKG is best conceived as a transition Church, where the proselytism and the beginning of a Christian spiritual life are fully oriented towards conversion.

Full textA pesquisa compreende as representações sociais do adventismo para integrantes jovens da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia (IASD) por meio das contraposições e anuências de crenças e práticas dos fiéis no que tange ao pensamento escatológico-sabático-dietético oficial da denominação. A investigação apresenta que práticas e valores são observados e alterados,adaptados, acrescentados ou suprimidos pelos fiéis em relação ao conjunto de crenças que historiciza o adventismo, e apreende as razões e demandas desse processo. O estudo situa-se na abordagem da teoria das Representações Sociais do psicólogo social Serge Moscovici. A pesquisa se concretiza com membros participantes da Classe de Jovens da Escola Sabatina da Igreja Adventista localizada em Uvaranas, Ponta Grossa, Paraná. O trabalho problematiza a história adventista, da Reforma Radical até o movimento milerita, e apresenta as tensões e reconfigurações do adventismo desde sua organização formal em 1863 até o momento. A pesquisa tem por objetivos apreender as representações sociais do adventismo para os jovens adventistas de Uvaranas; demonstrar como eles ancoram e objetivam as crenças aprendidas na Igreja; verificar a influência dos ensinamentos da denominação sobre as práticas e valores dos membros; levantar a produção científica sobre a IASD no âmbito da pós-graduação stricto sensu no Brasil; explicitar as características peculiares da Igreja Adventista; e identificar as práticas inerentes ao adventismo em sua expressão particular na comunidade investigada. Se executaram entrevistas semiestruturadas, mediante três categorias empíricas – escatologia, sábado e dieta alimentar –, gravadas em áudio, com dez indivíduos da IASD. Os dados obtidos nas entrevistas foram reunidos em unidades de registro e agrupados em um significado comum de primeira ordem; após, em torno de categorias de análise explicativas relacionadas com a problemática do estudo, organizaram-se as informações transmitidas para indicar as representações do adventismo para membros jovens da IASD. Usou-se, de maneira adaptada, a abordagem do núcleo central para verificar a centralidade das representações, em que foram indicados os elementos identificados como os mais expressivos, aqueles que, se retirados, fariam com que as representações perdessem significado. As razões de ser adventista dos indivíduos investigados estão centralizadas na apropriação bíblica realizada pela denominação. A centralidade da representação sobre a IASD está na imagem da mesma como mensageira divina. As profecias bíblicas do tempo do fim se expressam no núcleo representacional de indicadores do fim do mundo; a importância dos anúncios proféticos para o fim do mundo, em sua representação central, indica, ao mesmo tempo, uma explicação de certos acontecimentos atuais e a prova de veracidade da Bíblia; para os escritos de Ellen G.White a respeito do tempo do fim e do sábado, o núcleo central encontra-se na função das obras da autora como suplemento bíblico. O núcleo da representação sobre o sábado o qualifica como benefício espiritual; as motivações para a observância do dia sétimo focam-se na ordenança bíblica. Para a dieta alimentar, uma vida saudável constitui o cerne da representação; e, para as obras de Ellen G. White que abordam a reforma dietética, o âmago da representação localiza-se na dimensão de um manual alimentar.
The research comprises the social representations of adventism for young members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church (SDAC) through contrapositions and consents of beliefs and practices of the faithful regarding the denomination's official eschatological-sabbatic-dietetic thought. The research shows that practices and values are observed and modified, adapted, added or deleted by the faithful in relation to the set of beliefs that historicizes the adventism,and seizes the reasons and demands of this process. The study is based in the social psychologist Serge Moscovici's approach of the Social Representations theory. The research materializes with participating members of the Youth Class Sabbath School Adventist Church located in Uvaranas, Ponta Grossa, Paraná. The paper problematizes the adventist history, from the Radical Reformation to the millerite movement, and presents tensions and reconfigurations of adventism since its formal organization in 1863 until now. The research has as objectives to grasp the social representations of adventism for young adventists of Uvaranas; demonstrate how they anchor and objectify beliefs learned in the Church; verify the influence of the teachings of the denomination on the practices and values of members; to raise the scientific literature on the SDAC in the scope of post-graduate studies stricto sensu in Brazil; to explicit the peculiar characteristics of the Adventist Church; and identify practices inherent to adventism in its particular expression in the community investigated. It was performed semi-structured interviews, by three empirical categories – eschatology, Saturday and diet –, recorded on áudio, with ten individuals of SDAC. The data obtained from the interviews were gathered in record units and grouped in a common meaning of the first order; than, around categories of explanatory analysis related to the problematic of the study, organized the information transmitted to indicate the representations of adventism for young members of the SDAC. It was used, in a adapted way, the central core’s approach to verify the centrality of representations, in which were indicated the elements identified as the most expressives, those which, if removed, would make representations to lose meaning. The reasons of being adventist of the investigated individuals are centralized in biblical appropriation realized by the denomination. The centrality of representation on the SDAC is in the image of the same as divine messenger. The biblical prophecies of the end time are expressed in representational core of the indicators of the end of the world; the importante of the prophetic announcements for the end of the world, in their central representation, indicates, at the same time, an explanation of certain current events and the proof of the veracity of the Bible; to the writings of Ellen G. White about the end time and the Sabbath, the central core is in the role of the author’s work as biblical supplement. The core of the Sabbath’s representation qualifies it as a spiritual benefit; the motivations for the observance of the seventh day are focused on biblical ordinance. For diet, a healthy lifestyle is the representation’s heart; and, to Ellen G. White’s works that address the dietetic reform, the core of the representation located in the dimension of a manual feed.

Full textThe religious phenomenon plays an important role in Europe. The ecclesiastical law regulates the relationship between the State and the Churches/Religions. The article 9 of the ECHR and its jurisprudential development create conditions for the existence of a de facto European ecclesiastical law. In addition, the Declaration 11 annexed to the Amsterdam Treaty, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the Lisbon Treaty are the foundations of an Ecclesiastical law of the Union from the perspective of a more advanced convergence. The contribution of the Orthodox Church to the European construction is considered indispensable through representations of the locally established Orthodox Churches, within the European Union and its ecclesiastical tradition

Full textO presente estudo tem por objetivo avaliar os territórios da morte sob a perspectiva da percepção de moradores e frequentadores de templos católicos das cidades setecentistas de Laranjeiras e São Cristóvão. Para tanto, foram analisadas as mudanças que envolvem a relação da sociedade com a morte e, dessa forma, a premissa inicial é de que a morte formava uma paisagem dominante nas cidades a partir da sua relação direta com as Igrejas-Cemitérios. Nos dias atuais, as cidades com esse tipo de paisagem, como São Cristóvão e Laranjeiras em Sergipe, comportam uma leitura arqueológica. Analisando as paisagens da morte restantes nessas cidades, percebe-se como no passado a morte estava presente no cotidiano das pessoas, conformando uma paisagem diferente dos dias atuais, visto que, no decorrer do tempo os rituais sofreram mudanças. Essas cidades abrigam um número muito grande de Igrejas com lápides no seu interior e, algumas, cemitérios no exterior. Desse modo, verificou-se que o espaço sagrado das cidades ainda abriga o território da morte, porém um novo território com novos símbolos e representações. O antigo território da morte, que formou as atuais paisagens arqueológicas, é percebido como parte de um passado que, como história re-significada, guarda seu significante. Enfim, verificou-se a existência não de um território da morte, mas a sobreposição de multiterritórios da morte, pois sempre que se processa uma separação espaçorepresentação, uma nova aproximação espaço-representação surge, revelando-nos um novo território da morte.

The main purpose of the thesis is to study how Taiwan Aborigines’ patterns are used in the church in their tribes. Based on the written and online information from The Presbyterian church, Chinese regional bishops’ conference, True Jesus church, Seventh-day Adventist and Assemblies of God, the researcher has visited 128 churches in different sects, which are located in aborigines’ tribes in western Taiwan mountain areas. The research is done by fieldwork, observation, interview, and data collection and analysis. Here are the results: A. When analysis by where the patterns are displayed, around 7% to 22% of the aboriginal churches are surrounded by aboriginal patterns. Many of the Presbyterian churches, about 40 % of them, were built with the aboriginal patterns on the exterior design. On the other hand, 75% of Catholics churches have aboriginal patterns inside the church, while Presbyterian Church, who has promoted the aboriginal culture aggressively recently, has only 17% of the churches use the patterns as interior design. Each tribe uses the patterns differently. For example, Rukai and Puyuma use more patterns than other tribes. B. The patterns can be used in five different ways: totems, painting, sculpture, traditional weaving, and traditional building materials. These five presents can be divided into two categories: non-concrete and concrete. The concrete patters can be further sum up into four ways: 1. geometric pattern. 2. Single object. 3. People painting, and 4. General appearance. Concrete patterns, no matter in paintings or in sculptures, will be presented by one of the four ways, and concrete patterns have several trends recently as follows: 1. Geometric pattern remains in original states. 2. Part of non-character theme, character themes, and general appearance samples has westernized style. C. Many years after, Taiwan aborigine’s traditional art form has changed after taking Christian as their religion. To cherish the loyal and chieftain with art is no longer the case, it evolved into an art form mainly for the church. Wooden sculptures for example, in the past it will only be seen at a chieftain’s house but now you those artistic sculptures at churches in various tribes, the meaning of those wooden sculptures has been changed. Overall, researcher concludes two major points: 1. the tribal churches which decorates with aborigines graphics externally are not even 30%, there are about 70% of the churches have woven fabrics internally. The main reason to have differences in graphic is due to different factions of the religion. 2. Aboriginal graphics are increasing throughout the years; however the technique of expression is more westernized than traditional. An advice for the related government units, when pursuing a foreign culture of learning transmission or the occasion, should preserve their traditional art form and inner meaning.

The Hsin-hsin Presbyterian Church was established 1938. Back then, the harbor city of Kaohsiung was still under control of Japanese authorities and experienced great changes. The historical background of the church is closely related to the local socio-economic development. The scale of the church grew gradually under the leadership of former priests, elders, deacons and fellows. Furthermore, the achievements in gospel and welfare missions were satisfactory; thus, becoming one of the leading churches in the local area. Let’s begin with the historical background of Kaohsiung back in the mid-term Japanese occupation. On one hand we have the local socio-economic development, on the other, the contemporary development of the Presbyterian Church. In order to invade Southeast Asia, the Japanese government built this city as the base for The Invasion of the South. Under meticulous planning, they modified harbors and docks, built factories and beautified the appearance of the city. As the plan was carried out, crowds of people relocated in this place, residing in the surroundings of the harbor and forming what currently is the district of Chien-chin and Ling-ya. The Christians in this area established The Missionary of Chien-chin under the leadership of the priest Liao-te. This organization was the precursor of the Hsin-hsin Presbyterian Church. Due to the WWII, the church had been relocated a few times; and even in late 1943, Sunday meetings were forced to come to a pause only to be recovered after the war ended. In 1946, the church was moved to its current address in the district of Hsin-hsin, Kaohsiung. Two major reasons that led this church to the leading edge among its counterparts were its successful local gospel mission and outstanding service in the society. Furthermore, the leadership of former priests and the assistance of elders were also great contribution to the growth and expansion of the church. In retrospect, the former priests Liao-te, Su-tienmin, Wu-tesen and Chen-puochen were considered important characters. Of all these, the priest Su-tienmin had the longest ministry term, and was the most influential. Among former elders, Pong-chingyue and Yu-chailun were the most distinguished. Both of them were pioneers in the establishment of the church, therefore after their passing away they received a funeral ceremony of highest honor for their commemoration. The ministerial evolution of the church can be divided in three periods. In the first (1938-1954), the church was established concentrating all efforts to its growth; in 1948, the chapel was built. In the second period (1955-1979), the church found its major magnification. During the early phase, three other churches were set up; and in the late phase (1970), another twelve churches were set up in Kaohsiung by way of cooperation. This is the period called “the multiplication movement” (1955-1965). The priest Su-tienmin took charge of the position of minister of gospel in the Kaohsiung Gospel Committee leading to its expansion and “multiplication” of churches and followers. In 1972, he escorted twenty-four churches to segregate from the Kaohsiung gospel committee and founded the Sou-shan Gospel Committee. After thirty years, this new committee grew into one of the largest in the Presbyterian Church. The third period (1980-2000) was one of cease, no further multiplication occurred during this lapse. The neighborhood service of the Hsin-hsin Church can be separated into two periods. During the first one (1964-1984), the “Hsin-hsin Presbyterian mission” was set up, having in the first place the service of weaker minorities and individuals. The help provided were assistances in their daily life, material supply and profession including medical care, mountain area missions and labor class advocacy. In the second period (1984-2000), the actual building of the Hsin-hsin Church was built, setting up the committee of evangelization. The main focuses were social education to boost up public intuition, social policy equity, environment protection and care for political prisoners. Also were created the Pong-chingyue Memorial Library and the Post-retirement School. In different times, Hsin-hsin Church caters to different needs and provides the appropriate services. The Hsin-hsin Church encountered restrictions and difficulties in either evangelization missions or social welfare missions; especially in the last twenty years, it presented a state of stagnation and even diminution. The church has already noticed the seriousness of this issue and is trying to remedy this situation. In recent years, some efforts were made to bring people to church, such as progressive neighborhood service, educational activities of all kinds and periodical conversion. However, the achievements were not prominent; obviously this job is not easy. In order to gain a good harvest, we must work together with an unconventional approach to break through the difficulties.

Full textThe advent of new media, more specifically social media, has galvanized and radically revolutionized how religion is experienced, lived and expressed in (South) Africa. Social media has transmogrified the orthodox and normative modes of religious engagement and interaction. Day-to-day religious practices have become highly reliant on the (new) media. It is only logical therefore to foreground and locate the (new) media within the deeper inquiries relating to social phenomenon and social life. Social media has become the benchmark for understanding the transitions with regards to conceptualizing social phenomenon like Neo-Pentecostalism, which in recent times has taken the African continent by storm. This study explores how church performances and practices of controversial South African Neo-Pentecostal church End Time Disciples Ministries, led by notoriously shady and delinquent Prophet Penuel are represented on Facebook. The study is interested in analysing the online representations of church performance of this particular church. Moreover, the study committed at understanding how audiences (those who engage and interact on Facebook page) decode and interpret the messages and representational exhibitions disseminated through the church’s Facebook page. Through the employment of a rigorous Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA), both visual and lexical semiotic choices on the Facebook page were analysed in order to demystify discursive, ideological and investments of power. It must be lamented that the intersections between religion and new/social media have been marginally ignored within qualitative epistemic inquiries. This study provides a breath of fresh air in that regard. The current status quo enlightens us that social relations have become vehemently digitized. It is therefore relevant and expedient for digital platforms to be taken seriously within sociological intellectual inquests. Church performances are receiving great impetus and potency on new/social media domains but minimal scholastic investment has been channelled in that direction. The End Time Disciple Ministries Facebook page is a platform where the most salient and non-salient representational projects of violence, power, exploitation, manipulation, hegemony, patriarchy are exhibited for public broadcast and consumption.
