Stafford, Emma Josephine. "Greek cults of deified abstractions." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 1994. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1317665/.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation aims to explore the phenomenon of the worship of abstract concepts in personified form and its development in the Archaic and Classical periods. An introductory chapter surveys previous scholarly literature on the subject and covers some general theoretical issues: i) definitions; ii) problems of sources and methodology; iii) the question of the predominantly feminine gender of these figures; iv) ancient and modern theories on deified abstractions as a class. Six chapters then look at a selection of individual cults in roughly chronological sequence, each exemplifying one or more of the general questions raised by such cults. Themis provides a good example of the very "mythological" deified abstractions of the Archaic period and the problems of tracing the origins and early history of personification cults. Nemesis was probably worshipped at Rhamnous from the sixth century, but acquires unique status in the fifth from an association with the battle of Marathon; the cult of the two Nemeseis at Smyrna, I argue, is a fourth-century innovation. Peitho is often associated with rhetoric, but a survey of her cult associations in a variety of locations emphasises her erotic side, an aspect further revealed in vase-painting. These three figures all have roots in archaic literature, whereas Hygieia, though soon mythologised as daughter of Asklepios, does not appear in any medium before her arrival in Athens in 420 BC in the healing god's wake. Her cult particularly raises the question of how seriously personifications could be taken as deities, since the concept which she embodies is so patently a human desideratum. Later innovations are similarly often dismissed as "mere" allegory or propaganda, as is illustrated by the case of Eirene in fourth-century Athens, most famously represented in Kephisodotos' group of Peace holding the child Wealth, her cult introduced in response to quite specific political circumstances. The problems of correlating archaeological and literary sources are particularly acute in the case of the most "abstract", figure to be considered, Eleos, eponymous deity of the Athenian "altar of Pity"; although the altar dates from the late sixth century, its insubstantial god is probably a later development. From these six case studies some provisional conclusions can be offered on the place of deified abstract ideas in Greek religious thought and practice.

Rangos, Spyridon. "Cults of Artemis in Ancient Greece." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 1996. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/244861.
Full textAbstract:
Artemis was a cruel and wild goddess. Her mythological apparatus was replete with blood and death. Her cults displayed awe-inspiring elements of primitivism. Together with Dionysus, to whom she is mythologically and ritually related, she presents a riddle for the student who tries to understand her place in the Greek pantheon. In accordance with the modern alertness to the dangers of oversimplification lurking behind sweeping general accounts, I have chosen six particular Artemisian cults in three places of mainland Greece (at Sparta, Athens and Patras) upon which to focus my attention. In the aetiological legends of their foundations the Spartan and Athenian cults share a common origin (located by ancient writers in the distant Black Sea), the supervising deity being identified as Artemis Taurike. They also display remarkable signs of remote antiquity or, as has been proposed, of an archaizing process. Cruel rituals and beliefs associated with primitive magic are conspicuous in these cults but also feature prominently in the two cults in Achaia. The cult of Artemis Ortheia is comprehensively studied. All the existing ancient evidence, both literary and archaeological, is taken into account in an attempt to give a unified picture of the goddess without neglecting the di versity of disperse elements. By contrast, in the exploration of the three Attic cults selectivity prevails. Here again the emphasis is on what was common among the rituals enacted and the aetiological myths of their foundation, but not all ancient testimonies are considered to be of equal value. Consequently some sources are omitted and others overlooked in the discussion, for the additional reason that the Attic cults have been satisfactorily explored in recent publications. From the aforementioned local cults the focus is then shifted to the Homeric epics. The distinctive feature of Homeric religion is found in the endowment of divine powers with precise Forms and in the understanding of divine forms in anthropomorphic terms of Beauty. The contrast with the Artemisian cults at Patras is striking. There are of course signs in Homer showing that the gods are conceived as Powers, but the heroic epic tradition seems to have opted for the adoration of beauty as an indication of Excellence. How are we to combine the adorable divine maiden of the Homeric epics with the wild power manifested in local cults? Artemis vacillates between virginity conceived as maidenly exquisiteness and celibacy symbolizing natural wilderness. My hypothesis is that in the eyes of the Greeks, virginity, far from being 'absence' or lack of sexuality (as has often been supposed), was indeed the precondition of fertility. The dynamism of procreation was considered to reside in virginity; hence the strengthening of virginity was regarded as the intensification of procreative power, in much the same way as, in an image drawn from applied physics, the energy to be gathered from a water-stream is enhanced by the use of a dam that arrests the stream's natural course. Such a hypothesis may well be supported by the ancient evidence, and may also account for the second characteristic trait of the Archaic Artemis, namely her wildness. For in wildness, symbolically crystallized in 'forests' and 'hunting-activities', the ancient mind saw, rather than merely a stage antecedent to, and indispensable for, 'civilization' (as the most popular theory assumes), awe-inspiring powerfulness and mighty detachment calling for religious veneration. In the diptych of the complementary Contrariety between the Heavenly and the Earthly, the local cults, with their special emphasis on ritual enactment, stressed the maternal side of existence, whereas the Homeric m.vthology chose to emphasize the masculine principle that is operative in the world. This latter principle when applied to a pre-existing feminine deity, assumes the form of potential fecundity, hence of virginity, as opposed to the actual fertility of motherhood. The most recent theory on Artemis is that of 1.-P. Vernant (and his so-called Paris School). The French scholar claims that Artemis is a goddess of marginality, a deity at home where ambivalence, ambiguity and liminality prevail. This, however, relates more to the modern milieu where marginality and the concomitant ambiguity are conceptual missiles of great heuristic value than to the goddess herself. Artemis was primarily manifested as natural Dynamism. Given the amoral character of natural dynamism she could be munificent or malevolent depending on the circumstances of her manifestation (implied intervention orfully-fIedged epiphany). But such a duality does not entitle us to speak of marginality in her case, because in the eyes of the worshippers themselves her being was perfectly well circumscribed and very clearly defined. In contrast to the modern deeply-felt insecurity vis-a.-vis the clarity of beings, a distinctive feature of ancient polytheism was the clear-cut delineation of the beings aspiring to the divine order.

Esta pesquisa visa analisar as práticas religiosas dos devotos de São João Maria, em uma região interiorana do sul do estado do Paraná e do planalto catarinense. A devoção e o culto ao santo são presentes na região onde, há quase um século, ocorreu a Guerra do Contestado, um movimento de cunho milenarista e messiânico. Procura-se, através de uma etnografia multi-situada, apreender estas práticas religiosas com uma proposta teórica que surge de um campo emergente na antropologia de discussões associadas aos estudos de performance. A partir dos estudos de Stanley Tambiah, intenta-se uma abordagem que privilegia os rituais das práticas de culto ao santo apoiado em um diálogo da antropologia com as perspectivas teatrais oriundas da instigante parceria de autores como Victor Turner e Richard Schechner.This research intends to analyze the devotees of Saint João Marias religious practices, from an inland region of Paraná state´s south and from the Santa Catarina´s plateau. The devotion and the cult to the Saint can be found at the region where, almost a century ago, occurred the Contestado War, a millenialist and messianic movement. Using the multisited ethnography, we intend to understand these religious practices, through a theoretical proposal which appears by an emergent anthropology field of discussions related to the performance studies. Based on Stanley Tambiah, we propose an approach that privileges the rituals of these practices, supported by a dialogue between anthropology and theatrical perspectives coming from Victor Turner and Richard Schechner works.

Full textAbstract:
A number of prominent men who lost their lives during political struggles were posthumously venerated as martyrs in later medieval England. This dissertation aims to recreate some of the context - religious and cultural as well as political - in which these cults developed, and to chronicle and evaluate the activities and representations which they produced. It will be argued that political martyrdom formed part of a distinctive religious culture in which suffering for a cause could be highly valued as a form of martyrdom. The three cases studied here bring us in contact with different aspects of late medieval English society. Thomas, Earl of Lancaster (d. 1322) was regarded posthumously as Christi miles, and represented ideas linked to knighthood and chivalry, treason and betrayal. Richard Scrope, Archbishop of York (d. 1405), was portrayed in contemporary hagiographic sources as pastor populi, representing the ideal ecclesiastical shepherd, dedicated to justice in both religious and political affairs. King Henry VI (d. 1471) was seen as a pious victim already in his lifetime, represented in the hagiography as an innocent, Job-like, child-martyr. Cults of political martyrs formed an organic part of late medieval lives, which were commnunal and private, local and regional, devotional and social. They demonstrate the flexibility with which religious symbols - chastity, martyrdom, virtue - formed part of political language, and were available to people at different levels of society, and with different degrees of access to liturgy, clerical assistance and power of patronage. These cults - created rather than imported - offer us an insight into fourteenth and fifteenth century English society, its modes of thoughts, belief, worship, as well as political culture and language.

Full textAbstract:
Maintaining the pax deorum through worshipping the gods was essential for the survival and continuation of the Roman state. While many aspects of public, political, and social life were performed by elite men, religion offered the opportunity for all men and women, regardless of class and status to interact and contribute the welfare of their community. This thesis explores gender dynamics in three cults: the cult of Bacchus, the cult of the Magna Mater, and Paul's concept of Christianity in Corinth. While each cult is vastly different, they provide insight into the ways in which men and women could worship the gods together and the tensions and anxieties that arise in mix-gendered groups. In the case of the cult of Bacchus, gender was at the fulcrum of its suppression in 186 BCE, during which the Senate attempted to curb male participation in cultic worship but reaffirmed the authority of female participants. Moreover, the reaction to the presence of the galli, the eunuch priests of the Magna Mater, highlights Roman hostility towards non-gendered individuals, for whom there was not place in the binary gendered world of Rome. Finally, in Paul's in first letter to the Corinthians, the signifiers of gender, sexuality, and morality are at the forefront of his treatment of marriage, virginity, and veiling. In each case study, the issue of gender is the utmost importance and can even highlight the distribution of authority in cultic worship.

This study examines some symbolic resignifications of the Ancient Mystery Cults, as well some developments of their historical realities. This dissertation evaluates the possible flows and exchanges occurring in Mediterranean environments, focusing on the reframes that the mysteries suffered in these borders, also discussing on their possible influence on a biblical passage. In the investigation some hypothesis will be made concerning the relation with the mysterical cults of the Hellenistic expansion, as well their possible interfaces with a primary source of the New Testament. Based on the study of the major mysteries in the Roman frontiers, and in the evaluation of the New Testament literature, will be considered the approaches and symbolic differences between the Dionysian cult and the text of John 2, 1-11.
O presente estudo analisa algumas ressignificações simbólicas dos Antigos Cultos de Mistério, bem como alguns desdobramentos de suas realidades históricas. Essa dissertação avalia os possíveis fluxos e trocas ocorridos nos entornos mediterrâneos, concentrando-se nas ressignificações que os mistérios sofreram nessas fronteiras, discorrendo igualmente sobre sua possível influência numa perícope bíblica. Na investigação serão levantadas hipóteses referentes a relação dos cultos mistéricos com a expansão helenística, bem como suas possíveis interfaces com uma fonte primária do Novo Testamento. Com base no estudo dos principais mistérios presentes nas fronteiras romanas, e na avaliação da literatura neotestamentária, serão consideradas as aproximações e distanciamentos simbólicos entre o culto Dionisíaco e o texto de João 2, 1-11.

Full textAbstract:
L'objectif de cette étude est de comprendre le phénomène d'acculturation religieuse et son évolution en Carie, à travers les épiclèses de Zeus ainsi que les cultes et les représentations qui y sont associés. Ce travail privilégie une approche pluridisciplinaire de l'ensemble des données liées aux lieux de culte. Il nous amène à articuler toutes les sources à notre disposition en faisant appel aux diverses disciplines de l'archéologie, ainsi qu'à la philologie, l'épigraphie, la numismatique et l'iconographie, afin de mettre en place un réseau de connaissances associant l'histoire des religions et l'archéologie du culte. Cette approche a pour but de reconstituer le plus objectivement possible la vie religieuse carienne et son paysage religieux. Il s'agit d'étudier l'interaction entre les pratiques et les représentations pour comprendre le lien entre la dimension spatiale des faits religieux et la perception qu'en avaient les anciens. Ce travail de recherche s'interroge également sur les échos entre les cultes et la symbolique des éléments qui les composent. Pour chaque Zeus, il est ainsi nécessaire de déterminer le sens à donner à l'épiclèse et aux représentations qui leur sont associées et de comprendre le contexte cultuel dans lequel ils ont évolué. À travers l'étude de la figure jovienne, dont l'attribut est devenu le symbole du territoire, c'est le fonctionnement du système religieux carien dans son ensemble qui est mis en lumière. Le croisement des diverses données permet enfin d'appréhender le phénomène d’acculturation en Carie. L'objectif est de déterminer les contacts continus et directs que des cultures différentes ont eu et les modifications qu'elles ont entraînées dans les modèles culturels initiaux des divers groupes. Il convient donc de distinguer les permanences et les innovations qui se manifestent au sein de la vie religieuse dans la région. De nombreux éléments préhelléniques sont ainsi notables dans cette région particulièrement conservatrice, permettant parfois d'identifier des traces de continuité ou de réappropriation entre les cultes anatoliens et grecsThe objective of this study is to understand the religious acculturation and changes in Caria, through Zeus' epicleses, cults and representations associated with it. This work emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach to all data related to places of worship. It leads us to articulate all the sources available to us through the use of various disciplines of archeology as well as philology, epigraphy, numismatics and iconography, to establish a knowledge network linking religious history and archeology of worship. This approach aims to reconstruct objectively as possible the Carian religious life and religious landscape. This is to study the interaction between practices and representations to understand the relationship between the spatial dimension of religious facts and the perception of them old. This research also questions the echoes between cults and symbolic elements that compose them. Each Zeus, it is thus necessary to determine the meaning of the epiclesis and representations associated with them and understand the cultic context in which they evolved. Through the study of the Jovian figure, whose attribute has become the symbol of the territory, the operation of the Carian religious system as a whole is revealed. The crossing of the various data finally allows us to understand the phenomenon of acculturation in Caria. The aim is to identify ongoing and contacts that different cultures have had and the changes they generated in the original cultural patterns of various groups. It is therefore necessary to distinguish the continuities and innovations that occur in the religious life in the region. Many pre-Hellenic elements are thus particularly notable in this conservative region, sometimes to identify traces of continuity or reappropriation between the Anatolian and Greek cults

Full textAbstract:
Souvent traitées dans le cadre général de la fête, les cérémonies religieuses font rarement l'objet d'études à part entière. Si on se place dans une perspective anthropologique, ces manifestations extérieures sont pourtant riches en informations en tant que construction socioculturelle significative. Expérience observable, une cérémonie se caractérise par divers éléments déterminants (des lieux de célébration, des acteurs, un moment, un but et un scénario composé de paroles et de gestes codifiés) et elle implique également une certaine solennité, une forme d'apparat et de dramatisation qui permettent l'exacerbation du message identitaire. Le champ de recherche retenu ici est celui des cérémonies du culte d'Isis dans les provinces occidentales entre le IIe s. av. J.-C. et le Ve s. apr. J.-C. Déesse d'origine étrangère dont le culte devient officiel à Rome au Ier s. apr. J.-C., Isis offre des pistes de recherche particulièrement intéressantes par les implications identitaires propres aux pratiques cultuelles qui lui sont attachées. A travers le prisme des célébrations religieuses, il s'agit ainsi de s'interroger sur l'intégration et la visibilité du culte d'Isis dans le paysage religieux des cités occidentales, sur les liturgies cérémonielles au sein du sanctuaire de la déesse ainsi que sur l'impact des célébrations isiaques sur l'individu. Cette étude passe par l'exploitation de toutes les sources disponibles et s'inscrit par ailleurs dans un effort d'interdisciplinarité en tentant notamment de faire appel aux autres sciences sociales à l'exemple de l'anthropologie religieuse qui ouvre de nouvelles perspectives éclairantes pour la science historiqueOften treated in the general framework of the feast, the religious ceremonies are rarely the object of full studies. Nevertheless, from an anthropological perspective, religious ceremonies, as significant sociocultural constructions, are rich in information. As a religious experience, a ceremony is characterized by diverse determining elements (places of celebration, actors, moment, a purpose and a scenario consisted of words and codified gestures) and it also implies a certain solemnity, a shape of pomposity and dramatization which allow the exacerbation of the identity message. This work focuses on the ceremonies of the cult of Isis in the western provinces between the 2nd B.C. and the 5th A.D. Goddess of foreign whose cult becomes official in Rome in the Ist A.D., Isis offers interesting tracks of research thanks to the particular identity of the religious practices bound to her. Through the prism of the religious celebrations, we have to question about the foreign character of its ceremonies. The second axis of approach of this work focuses particularly on the ceremonial liturgies within the sanctuary of the goddess whereas the third turns towards domestic and indiviudal religious practices, and the impact of isiac celebrations on the individual. This study wishes to use al lthe available sources (literay, archaeological, epigraphic, iconographic, etc.)and makes an effort of interdisciplinary by trying in particular to appeal to the other social sciences, like religious anthropology, which opens new perspectives for the historic science

Identificar como e por quais ordens a religião era vivida em alguns cultos oriundos de outras partes do mundo mediterrâneo e que não estiveram diretamente ligados, pelo menos em princípio, à estrutura do Estado romano. A pesquisa tem como fonte O Satyricon de Petrônio e os Epigramas de Marcial, sendo o primeiro um provável membro da aristocracia romana e, o segundo, um cliens na Roma Antiga
Abstract: The objective of this essay is to analyse some cults presents in the city of Rome at the first century and in the beginning of the second century a.C. and identify how and by whose orders religion was lived in some cults from others parts of the Mediterranean world and which weren't directly related, at least in the beginning, to the Roman State structure. The research has Petronio's 'Satyricon' and Marcial's 'The Epigrams' as source, the first being a likely member from the Roman aristocracy and the latter, a cliens from the Ancient Rome

O presente trabalho estuda os sonhos no candomblé, sua natureza importância e simbologia, entre indivíduos do candomblé ketu baiano e do xangô pernambucano. O trabalho utiliza como base teórica os pressupostos daquela que se convencionou a chamar de ´nova antropologia onírica`, termo cunhado por Barbara Tedlock em artigo de mesmo nome publicado no Dreamg: journal of association for study of dreams, em 1991. Para a ´nova antropologia onírica`, o sonho é analisado como evento comunicacional compartilhado capaz de remeter aos aspectos culturais de um grupo em estudo. Dá-se atenção ao contexto em que o sonho é narrado, ao sistema interpretativo da própria cultura em estudo a à experiência individual do sonhador. Realizamos, então, uma exposição do candomblé: de sua origem como religião africana a sua organização social e litúrgica como culto afro-brasileiro. Com base nos pressupostos da nova antropologia onírica, analisamos os sonhos colhidos em campo a partir das categorias encontradas durante a pesquisa: natureza dos sonhos, sonhos iniciáticos, sonhos sexuais, sonhos e ebós, os ´sonhadores mensageiros` e a forma dos orixás em sonhos. Ainda expomos alguns casos mais completos, onde pudemos analisar os sonhos em uma de suas principais funções: a de chamamento religioso.

Full textAbstract:
The current research attempts to identify the image and activity of the Egyptian goddess Isis predominantly in Greece and also in Egypt. All these areas were in receipt of major cultural, political and religious developments, from the beginning of the Classical epoch throughout the Hellenistic time, the latter being characterised as possessing a very crucial, complicated and fluid time span. In terms of epigraphic and iconographical evidence, recent studies have been occupied with Isis' cults, mainly by French scholars, such as Dunand, Bricault, Leclant and Tran Tam Tinh, who have developed geographical patterns of her cuItic activity, as well as focussing on religious subjects and art history. English scholars, like Griffiths, Lloyd, Fraser, Witt, Thompson, Walters, \Valker have produced valuable studies of Isis' representations and assimilations in portraiture, in ancient sources and provided with reliable information about the history of the Late Period. German scholars such as HOlb1 have dealt also with the Ptolemaic history, religion and iconography, finally Greek and Italian scholars, whose studies are limited but very important overall, as they have been producing exemplary catalogues of the artefacts. As I mentioned earlier, following the introduction of the goddess Isis in the Aegean, since the early Hellenistic period, she received remarkable admiration and attracted large groups of worshippers into her cult by Greeks living in Greece, Greeks overseas and most probably by Egyptian immigrants, travellers and merchants. The transformation of a pure Egyptian goddess into a Hellenistic semi-mortal figure as far as her iconographical representations reveal, and the vast spread of her appearance in the form of official texts, ex-votos or other dedications, prelude the begi~ng of a new religious regime. Although, there has been good scholarly work on individual aspects of the goddess Isis, this study explores the cults of Isis in all its aspects by highlighting certain areas where previous work has been much rare, due to an absolute lack of a proper knitting together the epigraphic, iconographical and historical material, which are discussed in the following chapters. Chapter I lays out briefly the features and the cultic activity of the goddess Isis in the pre-hellenistic period and the later religious activity that are strongly connected with the development of Isis' family myth, cuItic interaction and iconography in the Mediterannean. The Egyptian influences in Greece during the Ptolemaic period and the official amval of the most prominent Egyptian deities, Isis and Sarapis changed the religious significance in the area. Also, this study shows evidence and suggests possibilities of the goddess' early development in Greece in relation to inscriptions within a flexible chronological framework, along with sculpture monuments and small scale finds that are related to her worship in Chapter II. A number of areas, some of them previously unknown for their importance in terms of Egyptian influence, show a religious continuity since the early stages of the Hellenistic period. In Chapter III, the relations of the Ptolemaic kingship with Isis' cults are described, where further on in Chapter N, an extended analysis of Isis' representations in statuary in connection to royal Ptolemaic portraiture leads to the hypothesis for a possible distinction between the identification of representations of Isis and those of Ptolemaic queens and their identities in statuary, which have been long the subject of confusion and debate. Furthermore, in Chapter V, issues of religious matters are raised concerning Egyptian cults, indicating those of Isis alone or with deities and the rulers, in a mixed Greco-Egyptian environment and its complications in the cuitic function of the cults, which are represented in ancient texts and in the archaeological record. Finally, I believe that this research deserves a fair consideration due to its nature of assembling the most recent evidence that was possible, taking into ~ccount my effort to collect and translate an enormous corpus of foreign literature, which treats with care very delicate issues that have been long established, some of which remained either unfamiliar or have received limited attention in previous studies.

Mooney, Annabelle Nell. "Terms of use and abuse : the recruiting rhetoric of cults." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2001. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/6411/.
Full textAbstract:
Cults are negatively regarded. The way in which they persuade people to join their movements is particularly criticised by, for example, the anti-cult movement. Cults do use language in specific ways to recruit new members. There are, however, other groups who use language similarly, for recruitment purposes, but without stigmatisation. A new framework for rhetorical analysis, incorporating both classical tradition and contemporary work in text analysis, is particularly useful at demonstrating this. This thesis develops such a framework and uses it to analyse the rhetoric of three cults, Scientology, The Jehovah's Witnesses and the Children of God, showing that cults' distinctive negative profile in society is not matched by a linguistic typology. Indeed, this negative profile seems to rest on the semantics and application of the term 'cult' itself. Not only does this analysis increase our understanding of rhetoric, it paves the way for new questions to be asked about the pejoration of cults.

Full textAbstract:
The literature on rebel cohesion/fragmentation currently presents valid macro-level explanations for rebel group cohesion/fragmentation, yet no model currently exists exploring non-utility-based motivations regulating pro-group behaviour. This thesis tests the assumptions of a novel social psychological framework – Identity Fusion Theory – on rebel cohesion. Using a primarily quantitative approach applying a logistic regression model to primary data gathered on the Syrian Civil War, and a smaller qualitative element comparing groups with “fused” and “non-fused” memberships during the war, the thesis tests the hypothesis that “groups with highly fused memberships will be less likely to fragment during the course of a civil war than groups with non-fused memberships”. The results of the analysis show a strong, positive relationship between fused memberships and rebel cohesion. The results of the thesis are to some extent limited by potential omitted variable bias (suggested by high R2 values) and the use of Syria as the only population from which to sample. Nevertheless, the relatively large number of observations in the dataset (63) as well as heterogenous nature of groups involved suggest the findings are generalisable. In conclusion, we did find a positive relationship between fusion and rebel group cohesion. The main implications of this thesis being that future academic research may benefit from focusing on social psychological factors when examining rebel dynamics while policymakers potentially shape better responses to insurgencies and rebellions.

Full textAbstract:
És cert que un cop produït el traspàs, els morts canvien de domicili i van a parar a dominis invisibles o al no res. Però també requereixen algun tipus de presència entre els mortals en el seu mateix mon físic. A la ciutat d’Igualada, actualment, aquesta necessitat és coberta per dos cementiris que representen dues modalitats ben diferents de cementiri urbà. Per una banda, compta amb un cementiri vuitcentista, d’estil neoclàssic –el Cementiri Vell– i per l’altra, amb un cementiri contemporani –Cementiri Nou–, projectat per dos arquitectes de renom internacional, Enric Miralles i Carme Pinós. A falta de lloc en el vell recinte funerari, no hi ha cap altra alternativa que inhumar en el Cementiri Nou, cosa que no convenç a un nombre important d’usuaris. Per ells, portar a terme les pràctiques post mortem en un indret de disseny, com és la nova edificació funerària, els suposa estar utilitzant un cementiri projectat per uns arquitectes a partir d’un espai essencialment representat o concebut, aliè al seu entorn i a les apropiacions socials a les que se suposa que ha de servir. Essent el resultat un espai arquitectònic de nova generació, el cementiri no compta amb els codis de significats simbòlics forjats per la tradició funerària que fa que no sigui un espai reconegut i apte com a lloc de repòs etern. Per això, els seus usuaris porten accions de contínua revalorització per tal de rehabilitar el valor d’ús de l’espai i la seva significació com a obra.Once deceased, the dead switch address and end up inhabiting ethereal domains. Yet we also require that they take some kind of presence in the physical world of the living. In the town of Igualada, this need is covered two very different cemeteries. One of them is a 19th-century, neoclassical-style cemetery—the Cementiri Vell (Old Cemetery)—the other one is the Cementiri Nou (New Cementery), a contemporary cementery projected by two renowned architects, Enric Miralles and Carme Pinós. Due to lack of space in the Old Cemetery, new burials must necessarily take place in the New Cemetery, an option that many residents dislike. For them, engaging in post mortem funerary practices in a design space such as the newer facility involves using a cemetery projected as a conceived space, alien to their environment and to the social appropriations that it should allow. Being a new-generation architectural space, the codes of symbolic meanings forged by the funerary tradition are absent in the New Cemetery, which therefore stands as a space that is not recognized as apt for eternal rest. For this reason, its users carry out a continuous task of revalorization aimed at rehabilitating the use value of this space and its signification as an oeuvre.

A Legião Branca Mestre Jesus é um tradicional centro de Umbanda, conhecido por se dedicar às praticas de cura, localizado na cidade de Santa Rita do Passa Quatro. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar e descrever os processos de transformação identitária em adeptos e médiuns deste Centro, mediante seu acompanhamento longitudinal. Para esse efeito, foi feita uma etnografia com especial atenção aos significantes que se repetem no complexo simbólico das entidades espirituais e narrativas de vida dos médiuns. Foram realizadas entrevistas abertas individuais com médiuns iniciantes e atuais líderes, a respeito de sua vida pessoal e sua relação com o Centro. A análise dos dados se baseou na psicanálise lacaniana, apoiando-se em especial nos conceito de identificação e nos estudos sobre possessão. Os resultados indicam repetição dos significantes família, trabalho, justiça, luz e caminho. As transformações identitárias envolvem ressignificação de marcas simbólicas relacionadas a conflitos familiares através da afiliação à família espiritual da L.B.M.J. e aos valores de responsabilização perante o sofrimento do outro. Também verificou-se transformação das profissões dos médiuns em formas de trabalho espiritual norteadas por um bem fazer e combinando elementos simbólicos da L.B.M.J. a um modo de agir dos caboclos e pretos-velhos que implica trabalho justo. A iniciação como médium envolve reposicionamento subjetivo de alguém a ser cuidado para alguém que cuida. O adepto é visto como parte de uma corrente, cujo membro desgarrado é o elo mais frágil, o doente a ser cuidado. A compreensão dos processos identitários envolve compreensão da noção de pessoa do Centro, de que os espíritos (vivos ou mortos) são luzes inomináveis, que se manifestam sob diversas roupagens, identificáveis por padrões de ação éticos. Os processos identificatórios constatados têm a peculiaridade de se centrarem em padrões de ação atrelados aos valores do culto e, ao mesmo tempo, a uma luz que remete ao real inapreensível. Estes processos identificatórios envolvem ainda a reelaboração de aspectos da história brasileira como um todo, em especial ao etnocídio indígena em relação ao cristianismo, de forma que, sem abrir mão dos valores cristãos como humildade e caridade, recupera-se elementos históricos recalcados em relação ao descobrimento e ao extermínio de etnias.The Legião Branca Mestre Jesus (White Legion Master Jesus) is a traditional center of Umbanda, known to be devoted to healing practices, located in Santa Rita do Passa Quatro. The objective of this research was to investigate and describe the processes of identity transformation in adherents and mediums of the center, by longitudinal monitoring of them. For this purpose, an ethnography was done with special attention to repeated signifiers of the symbolic complex of spiritual entities and life narratives of mediums. Individual open interviews with beginners and current mediums leaders about his personal life and his relationship with the Center were held. The data analysis was based on the Lacanian psychoanalysis, relying in particular on the concept of identifying and studies in possession. The results indicate significant repetition of family, work, justice, light and way. The identity transformations involve reframing of symbolic marks related to family conflicts through affiliation to the \"spiritual family\" of LBMJ and values of accountability to the suffering of others. Also there was transformation of the professions of mediums in forms of \"spiritual work\" guided by a \"good to do\" and combining symbolic elements of LBMJ a mode of action of caboclos and pretos-velhos that implies fair work. Initiation as a medium involves subjective repositioning someone to care for someone who cares. The believer is seen as part of a chain, whose wayward member is the weakest link, the patient being careful. The understanding of identity processes involves understanding the notion of person of the center, that the spirits (living or dead) are nameless lights, which manifest themselves in different \"guises\", identifiable by ethical action patterns. The identification processes observed have the peculiarities of focus on action patterns linked to the values of the cult and, at the same time, to a light that refers to the unknowable real. These identification processes also involve redesigning aspects of Brazilian history as a whole, especially the indigenous ethnocide in relation to Christianity, in a way that, without rejecting the Christian values such as humility and charity, recovers repressed historical elements related to the discovery of Brazil and the extermination of ethnic groups.

Four hypotheses are explored in order to answer the central question of whether the sanctuaries and cults of Artemis in Messenia after the liberation were mimeses of those in Lakonia: essential religious similarity from the fourth century onwards, post-liberation Messenian revival of pre-conquest religious practices, conscious Messenian determination of religious difference from Lakonia and independent evolution of Messenian sanctuaries and cults of Artemis.

From literary, archaeological, epigraphic and numismatic evidence as well as observations made during personal visits to sites and museums in Greece, relevant data on the physical and historical landscape, epicleseis, sanctuary components, relevant myths and cult practices of all Artemisia in the southern Peloponnese are assembled into two comprehensive catalogues, one for each polity. A synthesis and analysis of that data is then conducted to establish patterns for purposes of comparison. The emergent patterns demonstrate that sanctuaries and cults of Artemis in post-liberation Messene are not essentially Lakonian mimeses.
This study advances our collective understanding of sanctuaries and cults of Artemis in Lakonia and Messenia. It points to unknowns which could provide fertile avenues for future research into the complexity and diversity of ancient Greek religion in the Peloponnese.

Esta dissertação se propõe analisar a normatização da estrutura de poder das casas-matrizes iorubás, buscando elementos no complexo processo histórico do grupo iorubá no cenário afro-brasileiro e nas práticas do sistema político-social no continente africano. Este estudo objetivou apontar possíveis contornos entre o arcabouço que delineia a sociedade africana em seu sistema de governo e a construção dos ritos iniciáticos que possibilitaram a ordenação das casas de culto de tradição iorubá no Brasil. Para tanto, a observação das práticas iniciáticas nas casas-matrizes de tradição iorubá do Recife e de Salvador formatou o processo litúrgico que dá legitimidade às práticas que fundamentalizam a instância do poder dos sacerdotes afro-brasileiros, visto que inexiste esta função, com este contingenciamento de poder no conjunto sociorreligioso iorubá africano, fora do âmbito real. Neste contexto, a dinâmica da pesquisa identificou, também, possíveis laços de parentesco sagrado entre as duas casas de culto pesquisadas: egbá e ketuThe aim of this dissertation is to analyze the normalization of the power structure of the Yoruba parent homes, seeking elements in the complex historical process of the Yoruba group both in the African-Brazilian scenery and in the practices of the socio and political systems of Africa. The main focus of this study was to identify possible contours of the framework which delineates the African society in its governance and the construction of initiation rituals which allowed the ordination of houses of worship of traditional Yoruba in Brazil. Therefore, the observation of initiation practices in the parent homes of Yoruba tradition of Recife and Salvador formatted the liturgical process that gives legitimacy to practices which support the instance of the power of the African-Brazilian Yoruba priests, since this function does not exist with this curtailment of power in all socio religious African Yoruba setting outside the real. In this context, the dynamics of the research also identified possible sacred bonds of kinship between the two houses of worship investigated: Egba and Ketu
