Full textLes critères définitionnels des héros de culte, aussi bien implicites qu'explicites, tels qu'ils sont décrits par Pausanias, sont examinés dans une tentative de comprendre les héros du point de vue religieux de la Grèce antique. Les distinctions entre les dieux, les héros, et les autres mortels sont examinés. En particulier, nous nous concentrons sur les verbes enagizein et thyein, indicateurs de rituels, pour mieux comprendre leur rôle dans le culte des héros. Nous trouvons que le sacrifice aux héros distingue ceux qui les font de ceux qui sacrifient aux dieux. À part cela, nous trouvons aussi que le culte des héros est très important dans la vie religieuse de la polis à travers les rituels de purification.

Full textThis research aims to present the parameters and possible reviews of the concept of cult TV applied to Brazilian television fiction, especially telenovelas. Cult TV is a notion that, with almost no national theory and little consensus among European and North American authors, refers to the specific character of certain products or behaviors of the audience. The cult caracter refers to works with high value of ritual or nostalgia, that has innovative content and / or programs or movies that collect devoted and faithful fans. To achieve its goal, the research reflects on the ritualistic value of cult telenovelas and investigates the uses of the word ,,cult\"in social networks, analysing tweets, the responses to a questionnaire applied online and two focus groups in order to understand which telenovelas are considered cult and why. The responses to the questionnaire guide the analysis of the telenovelas considered cult by the higher number of people and the reasons they have been cited. To this end, categories were created to classify the productions on nostalgic cult, aesthetic cult and contemporary cult, in order to highlight the key elements that determine the status of each telenovela. The theoretical framework includes studies on cult TV by authors such as Pearson (2004), Abbott (2010) and Hills (2012); studies on communication as worship and ritual, especially by Carey (1992), Barbosa (2007) and Reis (2012); Memory studies Bosi (1987), Nora (1993) and Halbwachs (2006); and studies of fans, both by international authors as Jenkins (1992), Hills (2009) and Booth (2010) and the emerging national theory with Lopes et. al (2015) and Jacks et. al (2015). Among the main results, we highlight the possibility of dialogue among international studies and those born in the Brazilian television context; the identification of fictions considered examples of cult TV and, last but not least, the growing importance of common sense to the study of new and complex concepts in the field of communication, especially the expansion of the culture of participation that is the hallmark of these \"digital media\" times, referred to in the title of this thesis.

Full textThe cult of the saints and emperor cult both fulfilled similar roles in their respective societies. On the surface they appear to be drastically different institutions. In reality emperor cult and saint cult were similar religious programs, which with careful examination appear to be related. The following work discusses the remarkable similarities between the cult of saints and emperor cult, including their personnel, temples, means of establishment and promotion, and even the role each cult played in the development of their societies. After careful examination of the above mentioned subjects, it is clear that the cult of the saints was largely based on emperor cult, and that despite the drastically different religious atmospheres that each cult was based in, they were similar in all but the most obvious wasy

Centrando seu foco sobre a revista literária Cult, este trabalho pretende observar como esta publicação contemporânea trava um diálogo com o presente e, particularmente, como o mercado e a literatura se vêem envoltos nesse processo. Para realizar a tarefa, primeiro foram lidos e catalogados os primeiros 56 números da revista (veiculados entre julho de 1997 e março de 2002), cujas informações foram inseridas em um banco de dados informatizado que auxilia, através da obtenção de dados quantitativos e porcentagens, traçar um perfil da publicação. Tendo como base esses dados descritivos, a leitura dos textos desse corpus e o material teórico, partiu-se para uma reflexão mais analítica que foi dividida em três partes: a primeira indicando como os sentidos do nome "cult" determinam a própria configuração da revista, a segunda parte atentando para a convivência de opostos na Cult e a terceira parte constatando a invasão de um fenômeno moderno nas páginas da revista: a inflação da memória. A fragmentação da leitura em várias "leituras" permitiu visualizar por diferentes ângulos a constituição da revista e sua complexa relação com o presente.

Full textThis study is specifically concerned with cult activities at Bronze Age tombs. This phenomenon, known as 'tomb cult', is not widespread all over Greece, evidences for definite and intensive worship are meager and some of the materials found in connection with chamber or tholos tombs may also be intrusive. By contrast, cults at Mycenaean tombs have gained attention in the last decades and have been described as an important means of self-definition; hero cult and ancestors cult, also, have been claimed as an interpretation of this kind of worship but no explanation seems to be really exhaustive. The main issue is to investigate the phenomenon with a proper methodology, which is actually lacking. In my research Data have been investigated with a philological and contextual approach, whose main aim was to evaluate the existence of a definite votive character in the depositions at Bronze Age tombs; “cult” and “ritual/sacred” activities have been distinguished from “profane” activities and conclusions have been drawn from both cultual and non-cultual examples. These data did not support the view that Bronze age tombs were object of cult: most often ancient tombs were not worshipped at all or were treated with disrespect. These results suggest the opportunity of a more articulated interpretation of the evidence and a reconsideration of the so-called “tomb cult” at Mycenaean tombs, which seems to be only a modern theoretical model that does not apply to the ancient world.

Full textThis research, entitled - Ektheósis Arsinoes: Arsinoe II Philadelphus cult, has as its aim to analyze the reasons, the shape and the diffusion of the religious cult created by Ptolemy II Philadelphus to honor his sister-wife. It is well known that the historical character of Queen Arsinoe II has been controversial since the beginning of studies on Ptolemaic Egypt. From ambitious queen to dedicated wife, there are few documents regarding her life in Egypt in the decade of 280/270 B.C. when she became queen during her brother's reign. The majority of the testimonies are dated to the period after her death. Who was Arsinoe II Philadelphus? Why did Ptolemy II established a cult in memory of his sister-wife? Arsinoe's II importance seems to reside on the image of popular devotion created around her, which ended up favoring and giving prestige to the Lagid dynasty. Our research is based, first of all, on the analysis of material sources, as well as on the written sources both from the 2nd century B.C. and from later centuries. We begin with the discussion of the historical background of the ptolemaic monarchy. Next, we briefly establish some thoughts on the role and the status of the Hellenistic and Pharaonic queens in antiquity. In the last chapter, using Colin Renfrew's theoretical and methodological principles regarding cult archaeology, we make a long digression over the reasons that led Ptolemy II to establish a cult for Arsinoe II both within the Greek and the Egyptian population.
