This thesis considers the ethnographic history of Simbo, a small island in the western Solomon Islands. The particular focus is upon the significance of conversion to Christianity and subsequent Christian practice, in shaping social and cultural issues and practices in the 1990s. Women's lives, in particular those aspects concerned with kinship, are the lens through which historical changes are viewed. By juxtaposing the structures suggested by indigenous lifecycle categories and the differentiation inherent in individual biographical material, I try to reflect the regularities and continuities within Simbo society as well as the variability and unpredictability of sociality at any given moment. At the same time, the mutability of structure is reflected in the transformed significance of institutions and ostensibly similar practices. -- The period under scrutiny is that between c. 1900-1990, which covers social practices and events from immediately prior to pacification and the Methodist Mission's establishment in the New Georgia Group in 1902 up until the present. I argue that since pacification, the progressive development of indigenous Christianity has been the major determinant of Simbo responses to the world system. This is not to argue that pacification represented the first intrusion of Europe or the beginning of social transformations. Constructions of indigenous societies as having been static entities before contact with Europe are critiqued. Pacification, after more than a century of contact with Europe, had revolutionary implications because of its significance from local worldviews, as much as for its demonstration of British political "legitimacy". -- Christianity, then, cannot be divorced from the reality of political and economic subordination throughout the twentieth century. Nor, however, can it be simpHstically treated as merely the ideological face of expanding capitalism. Following J. Comaroff and J.L. Comaroff, I treat the non-material aspects of social life as being as significant as the material. From its earliest days, the Methodist Mission both facilitated and hampered the interests of government and traders. But it is not only mission personnel who are important here. Simbo people have consistently shaped and deployed their own Christian frameworks. If they never resisted it, they have certainly transformed what was imposed on them ninety years ago from ideology to lived hegemony.

A presente pesquisa versa sobre o divórcio entre teologia e espiritualidade no cristianismo ocidental do século XII em diante, que perdurou até o século XX. A partir de então, essa nefasta ruptura passa a ser seriamente questionada, denunciada. As vozes de alguns dos mais importantes teólogos hodiernos se levantam em prol de uma nova unidade. Contudo, a teologia hoje, em pleno século XXI, ainda se vê em busca de paradigmas integradores, de um novo romance. Em um primeiro momento, abordamos essa realidade olhando a epistemologia teológica no Ocidente tal como se configura nos dias atuais. Assim emergem algumas questões: o desafio que a pósmodernidade impõe e como a mesma reclama uma ampliação do conceito de racionalidade; a necessidade de um novo paradigma em teologia, que leve a sério os questionamentos dessa sensibilidade cultural, fortemente marcada pelo contraste com a chamada sensibilidade moderno-racionalista. Sensibilidade que tenta superar. Portanto, veremos duplamente a realidade da relação entre teologia e espiritualidade, a partir de dois olhares. Um vislumbrando o hoje dessa realidade, onde nosso enfoque será mais de caráter epistemológico. Outro, a partir de um olhar histórico-teológico. Por fim, colocaremos o diagnóstico frente a paradigmas de integração. Dois serão esses paradigmas. O primeiro paradigma virá da metodologia teológica do teólogo neo-calvinista (reformado), Karl Barth. O segundo paradigma virá da teologia latinoamericana da libertação.
The present research is about the divorce between theology and spirituality in western Christianity since XIIth century, which lasted till the XXth century. Starting from then, that disastrous rupture is being seriously questioned and denounced. The voices of some of the most important theologians of that century rise in defense of a new unit. However, theology today, even in the middle of the XXIst century, is still in search of integrating paradigms, meaning to say, in search of a new romance. In a first moment, we approached that reality, looking at the western theological epistemology, just as it is configured in current days. Some questions emerge from this: the challenge that post-modernity imposes and the way it claims for an amplification of the rationality concept; the need for a new paradigm in theology, one that takes seriously the questions of that cultural sensibility, which is strongly sealed by the contrast with the so called modern-rationalist sensitivity. A sensitivity that tries to overcome the divorce. Therefore, we will see a two-fold reality of the relationship between theology and spirituality, starting from two glances: one contemplating today´s reality, where our focus will be more of epistemological character, and another, starting from a historical-theological glance about that relationship. Finally, we will place the diagnosis face to face to some integrating paradigms. They will be two. The first one will come from the reformed theologian s Karl Barth. The second will come from Latin-American liberation theology.
