Sincretismo religioso brasileiro: um estudo através das veredas de Grande Sertão

Carvalho, Juliana Barros Prata 08 August 2007 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-25T19:20:48Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Juliana Barros Prata Carvalho.pdf: 269444 bytes, checksum: 833c68807ae7d2c953ab89a7549ecae3 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-08-08 / This work is an attempt to understand Brazilian religious syncretism via Grande Sertão: Veredas . Therefore the essay tries to establish a metaphoric parallel between syncretic and religious plurality contained in João Guimarães Rosa s only romance and Brazilian religious syncretism. This essay is focused on the area of Science of Religion but because it uses a romance - which belongs to the field of literature - as a tool it dialogs with that field of study. The bridge between fiction and reality is established as a live link in constant transformation. Both the characters of the book and the Brazilian people are treated here as beings in a process of discovery of their human identity, as a work-in-progress, under the light of the work of Darcy Ribeiro, Gilberto Freyre and other theorists. A fundamental part of such discovery is the way through which individuals try to relate to objects which are thought to have religious transcendence. Such process will be an object of work with emphasis on syncretism. The concepts of racially-mixed ancestry and religion will also be explored. The conclusions reached in this work rather than absolute and conclusive answers to the questions proposed are long, open paths to be covered. The investigation about religious syncretism using Grande Sertão: Veredas as a tool is only possible via metaphor. Additionally the viability of this essay depends on the assumption that the Brazilian population is necessarily mestizo / Este trabalho é uma tentativa de compreensão do sincretismo religioso brasileiro via Grande Sertão: Veredas. Ou seja, a dissertação tenta estabelecer um paralelo metafórico entre a pluralidade sincrética e religiosa contida no único romance de João Guimarães Rosa e o sincretismo religioso brasileiro. Esta dissertação é feita na área de Ciências da Religião, mas, por usar como instrumento um romance, objeto pertencente ao campo da literatura, dialoga com esse campo de conhecimento. A ponte entre ficção e realidade é estabelecida como um vínculo vivo e em constante transformação. Tanto os personagens do livro como o povo brasileiro são tratados aqui como seres em processo de descoberta de sua identidade, como gente em fazimento, à luz de Darcy Ribeiro, Gilberto Freyre e outros teóricos. Parte fundamental dessa descoberta é a maneira pela qual os indivíduos tentam se relacionar com objetos considerados de transcendência religiosa. Essa maneira será trabalhada enfatizando o sincretismo. O conceito de mestiçagem e o conceito de religião também serão explorados. As conclusões obtidas neste trabalho, mais do que uma resposta absoluta e fechada para as indagações feitas, são um caminho extenso e aberto a ser percorrido. A investigação sobre o sincretismo religioso, tendo como instrumento Grande Sertão: Veredas, só é possível via metáfora. Além disso, a viabilidade desta dissertação só é possível levando em conta que o povo brasileiro é obrigatoriamente mestiço

Tracing the genetic origin of african descendants from South America / Origine génétique des descendants Africains de l'Amérique du Sud

Fortes Lima, César Augusto 17 December 2015 (has links)
Introduction La traite transatlantique, du 15ième au 19ième siècle, a changé radicalement la démographie des Amériques. Des milliers d'esclaves africains ont réussi à échapper aux plantations des colonisateurs européens, et ont formé des colonies indépendantes de peuples libres (ou 'Marron'). Dans notre travail, nous étudions quatre communautés Noir Marron de la Guyane française et du Surinam, ainsi que d'autres populations ayant un héritage africain : Brésil et Colombie, ainsi que des populations d'Afrique de l'Ouest : Bénin, Côte-d'Ivoire et Mali. Afin de définir les différentes histoires démographiques, ces populations ont été caractérisées à l'aide de plusieurs marqueurs génétiques des lignées uniparentales: chromosome Y (17 Y-STR et 96 Y-SNP), ADN mitochondrial (génomes complet), et de données pan-génomiques (4,5 millions de SNP). Résultats Les ADN paternels et maternels ont mis en évidence différents modèles de biais sexuels dans les populations afro-brésiliennes et afro-colombiennes, ce qui suggère des comportements de mariages préférentiels. À l'opposé, les communautés Noir Marron présentent l'origine africaine la plus élevée pour tous les systèmes génétiques analysés (supérieure à 98%). Dans ces communautés, on note l'absence de flux génique avec les groupes non-africains, et également des coefficients de consanguinité très élevés. En accord avec les études linguistiques, les communautés Noir Marron montrent une origine géographique africaine associée aux royaumes historiques de l'Afrique de l'Ouest qui existaient au Bénin durant la traite des esclaves. En accord avec les études historiques, l'origine des afro-colombiens montre des liens génétiques avec la région de la Côte de l'Or, et celle des afro-brésiliens avec la région de l'Afrique centrale. Conclusions Cette étude fournit une importante information génétique sur les afro-américains et nous permet de reconstruire les liens brisés avec leur passé africain. Les communautés Noir Marron montrent une identité africaine très élevée, reliée au Golfe du Bénin. Les populations afro-brésiliennes et afro-colombiennes font apparaitre différentes histoires démographiques en raison de leur passé colonial différent. Confronté avec les études historiques, la génétique permet de mieux appréhender l'identité ethnique africaine sur les deux rives de l'Atlantique. / Background The transatlantic slave trade, from the 15th to the 19th centuries, changed dramatically the demography of the Americas. Thousands of enslaved Africans managed to escape from the plantations of European colonizers, and formed independent African settlements of free people (or 'Marron'). Here, we study four Noir Marron communities from French Guiana and Surinam, as well as other populations with noteworthy African heritage in Brazil and Colombia, and West African populations in Benin, Ivory Coast, and Mali. To uncover different population histories, these populations were specifically characterized using different genetic markers based on 17 Y-STRs, 96 Y-SNPs, whole mtDNA genome, and genome-wide SNP data (4.5 million autosomal SNP). Results Paternally and maternally inherited DNA highlighted different patterns of sex-biased gene flow in both Afro-Brazilian and Afro-Colombian populations that suggest different preferential marriage behaviours. In sharp contrast, the Noir Marron communities presented the highest African ancestry in all genetic systems analysed (above 98%). These communities have apparently a null gene flow with non-African groups, and also present elevated inbreeding coefficients. In good agreement with linguistic studies, the Noir Marron communities showed a biogeographical ancestry associated with historical West African Kingdoms that existed in modern Benin during the slave trade. Afro-Colombians indicated genetic ancestry linked with the Gold Coast region. While Afro-Brazilian genetic ancestry was linked with the West Central African region, also supported by historical research. Conclusions This study provides specific genetic information in African Americans and thereby helps us to reconstruct broken links with their African past. The Noir Marron communities revealed a remarkably high African identity, which is still linked to Bight of Benin region. The Afro-Brazilian and Afro-Colombian populations present different demographic histories because of their different colonial pasts. Within an appropriate historical framework, genetic ancestry can add further understanding of ethnicity in African populations throughout the Atlantic world.

Therefore, the hygienic and sanitary quality is essential in the production of safe food. This study aimed to evaluate the processing and hygienic and sanitary conditions of fruits and fruit pulps in quilombola community. The survey was conducted in the Community of the Remnant of Quilombo do Pombal, Goiás, Brazil. To evaluate the physical and functional conditions was applied a checklist before and after the implementation of structural adjustments, training and implementation of the Manual of Good Practices and Standard Operating Procedures. Data were categorized according to the percentage of adequacy. Microbiological analyzes of 32 samples were taken including, fruits of Cerrado found in the community and fruits and their pulps in different steps of the flowchart production. The hazards and critical control points were listed in the production flow chart. The physical and functional diagnostic performed indicated average compliance of blocks of 30.18%, being classified in Group 3, unsatisfactory. After interventions, there was 62.13% of compliance, with classification in Group 2, regular (p <0.05). The intervention effect was significant (p <0.05) for five of the seven blocks evaluated. Microbiological analysis indicated that all the native fruits collected are in accordance with the recommendations of the current health legislation. Fruits and pulps included into processing flowchart presented in accordance with sanitary standards for fecal coliform count and detection of Salmonella spp, however, the mold count and yeast in eight pulps analyzed indicated that five of them had counts above the established by legislation. The results suggest fruit contamination since the harvest and multiplication of such micro-organisms in the remaining stages. The washing and filling steps were able to reduce the load of molds and yeasts. It is understood that the physical and functional adaptations implemented were important to increase the percentage of adequacy of the items, however, the persistence of shortcomings in the work process may compromise the quality of the final product, stressing the need for compliance with good practices. / O processamento de polpas constitui uma possibilidade para utilização de frutos por povos tradicionais como os quilombolas, inseridos em um contexto no qual frutos nativos são pouco consumidos. Para tanto, a qualidade higienicossanitária é fundamental na produção de um alimento seguro. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o processamento e as condições higienicossanitárias de frutos e polpas de frutas em comunidade quilombola. A pesquisa foi realizada na Comunidade dos Remanescentes do Quilombo do Pombal, Goiás, Brasil. Para avaliação das condições físico-funcionais foi aplicada lista de verificação antes e após a realização de adequações estruturais, capacitações e implementação do Manual de Boas Práticas e Procedimentos Operacionais Padronizados. Os dados foram categorizados de acordo com o percentual de adequação. Foram realizadas análises microbiológicas de 32 amostras incluindo, frutos do Cerrado encontrados na comunidade e frutos e suas polpas em diferentes etapas do fluxograma. Foram elencados os perigos e Pontos Críticos de Controle no fluxograma de produção. O diagnóstico físico-funcional realizado indicou média de conformidade dos blocos de 30,18%, sendo classificado no Grupo 3, insatisfatório. Após intervenções, verificou-se 62,13% de conformidade, com classificação no Grupo 2, regular (p<0.05). O efeito da intervenção foi significativo (p<0,05) para cincos dos sete blocos avaliados. A análise microbiológica indicou que todos os frutos nativos coletados estão em conformidade com as recomendações da legislação sanitária vigente. Os frutos e polpas inseridos no fluxograma de processamento apresentaram-se de acordo aos padrões sanitários para contagem de coliformes termotolerantes e pesquisa de Salmonella spp, porém, a contagem de bolores e leveduras em oito polpas analisadas, indicou que cinco apresentaram contagem acima do estabelecido pela legislação. Os resultados sugerem contaminação do fruto já na colheita e a multiplicação destes micro-organismos nas demais etapas, sendo que as etapas de lavagem e envase foram capazes de reduzir a carga de bolores e leveduras. Entende-se que as adequações físico-funcionais implementadas foram importantes para o aumento do percentual de adequação dos itens, contudo, a persistência de falhas no processo de trabalho pode comprometer a qualidade do produto final, ressaltando a necessidade de adequação às boas práticas.

Acesso e acessibilidade aos serviços de saúde em três quilombos na Amazônia paraense: um olhar antropológico

Cavalcante, Inara Mariela da Silva 25 February 2011 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2015-04-22T22:06:19Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 INARA CAVALCAANTE.pdf: 3883238 bytes, checksum: 8ee251556494013f2f879216e196df45 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-02-25 / CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The quilombola populations are among the most vulnerable groups of Brazil related to health services. This qualitative study aimed to know the access and accessibility to the health services in quilombos in the Paraense Amazonia, in three communities, África/Lanranjituba in Abaetetuba, Santo Antonio/Foz do Cravo in Concórdia do Pará and Mangueiras, in Salvaterra in the Marajó island. The subjects of the research were the residents and the managers and health professionals of the municipal district. Other sources were: the primary data of the socioeconomic conditions of the families and documental analysis of reports and information from the Ministry of Health. The research describes the access to the health services from four dimensions, Geographical, Functional, Cultural and Economical, and presents a transverse analysis of the access while analytical category of the planning and administration of the services in agreement with the re-interpretation of welfare care models in health. It was detected the difficulty and/or impossibility of the quilombolas in having access and accessibility to all the levels of complexity of health attendance, being this a result of a group of processes that involve several aspects as the distance of the urban centers and the lack of services that offer access by land and fluvial; the high financial costs (transport, feeding, medicines, permanence in the city, etc.) of the search for health services; the adaptation lack to the afro-descending habits from the managers and health professionals that assist them; and the functionality of the health services offered. We concluded that the health services are just offered by the municipal managers that adopt the Economic and ―Planificador‖ Models due to the Brazilian system of allocation of budgets for health, so there is not a National Politics of access and accessibility to health services that allows the National Politics of Integral Health of the Black Population to become real. Therefore it is fundamental the planning of health public politics of access and accessibility starting from a participative and promoter of the health equity logic, compatible with the geographical and socio-cultural dynamics of the Brazilian Amazonia. / As populações quilombolas estão entre os grupos em situação de vulnerabilidade no Brasil, no que diz respeito a serviços de saúde. Este estudo qualitativo se desenvolveu com o objetivo de conhecer o acesso e a acessibilidade aos serviços de saúde em quilombos na Amazônia Paraense, em três comunidades: África/Lanranjituba, em Abaetetuba, Santo Antonio/Foz do Cravo, em Concórdia do Pará e Mangueiras, em Salvaterra, na ilha do Marajó. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram os moradores, os gestores e os profissionais de saúde dos municípios. Outras fontes foram os dados das condições socioeconômicas das famílias do ―Projeto Corpo Presente‖ e análise documental de relatórios e informações do Ministério da Saúde. A pesquisa descreve o acesso aos serviços de saúde a partir de quatro dimensões, Geográfica, Funcional, Cultural e Econômica. Faz uma análise transversal do acesso enquanto categoria do planejamento e gestão dos serviços de acordo com a re-interpretação de modelos assistenciais em saúde. Constatou-se a dificuldade e/ou impossibilidade dos quilombolas em terem acesso e acessibilidade a todos os níveis de complexidade de assistência em saúde, sendo isto, resultado de um conjunto de processos que envolvem vários aspectos como: a distância dos centros urbanos; a falta de serviços que ofereçam acesso a estes por via terrestre e fluvial; os elevados custos financeiros (transporte, alimentação, medicamentos, estadia na cidade, etc.) da busca por serviços de saúde; a falta de adequação aos hábitos e costumes afrodescendentes por parte dos gestores e profissionais de saúde que os atendem e a funcionalidade dos serviços de saúde ofertados. Conclui-se que os serviços de saúde são apenas ofertados pelos gestores municipais a partir dos Modelos Economista e Planificador em virtude do sistema brasileiro de alocação de verbas para saúde, portanto, não existe uma Política Nacional de acesso e acessibilidade aos serviços de saúde que permita concretizar a Política Nacional de Saúde Integral da População Negra. Assim, é fundamental o planejamento de políticas públicas de saúde de acesso e acessibilidade a partir de uma lógica participativa e promotora da equidade em saúde, compatíveis coma a dinâmica geográfica e sócio-cultural da Amazônia Brasileira.
