A mitologia judaico-cristã e o herói japonês: a jornada mítica de Mudo Setsuna no mangá Angel Sanctuary / Judeo-Christian Mythology and the Japanese Hero: Mud Setsunas Mythic Journey in the Manga Angel Sanctuary

Gava, Priscila Gerolde 24 September 2018 (has links)
O presente trabalho propõe a análise da trajetória do protagonista do mangá Angel Sanctuary, da autora Yuki Kaori, publicado originalmente no Japão entre 1994 e 2000, sob a luz da jornada do herói de Joseph Campbell, a fim de traçar seu perfil como herói japonês contemporâneo de mangá. Propõe-se juntamente a análise do diálogo da obra com a mitologia judaico-cristã, principal fonte de inspiração e referências da autora para a confecção de sua história. Para tanto, é feita uma apresentação dos elementos próprios das histórias em quadrinhos e da jornada do herói, para que depois sejam aplicadas ao mangá Angel Sanctuary, no qual são apontadas as etapas da jornada e seus arquétipos, assim como suas relações com as mitologias nas quais são baseados. A análise aponta para uma diferença entre o pensamento tipicamente japonês, que tende a encarar com naturalidade a presença de forças opostas num mesmo ser e na natureza, em contraste com a forte separação entre Bem e Mal presente nas religiões judaico-cristãs. / This dissertation thesis proposes the analysis of the trajectory of the manga Angel Sanctuarys protagonist, from author Yuki Kaori, originally published in Japan between 1994 and 2000, considering Joseph Campbells Heros Journey, in order to trace his profile as a contemporary Japanese manga hero. It also proposes the analysis of the mangas dialog with the Judeo-Christian mythology, main source of the authors inspiration and references for the confection of her story. To do so, the characteristic elements of comic books and the Heros Journey are presented, so that they can be applied to Angel Sanctuary, in which the journeys steps and archetypes are indicated, as well as their relations to the mythologies in which they are based. The analysis points to a difference between typical Japanese thinking, that tends to face the presence of opposing forces inside a single being and in nature with naturality, in contrast with the well-defined separation between Good and Evil existent in Judeo-Christian religions.

La représentation des bateaux en Europe entre le VIIIè et le XIIIè siècle. / Ships representation in North-West Europe between the VIIIth and the XIIId century

Auger, Barbara 07 October 2011 (has links)
L'étude de la représentation des bateaux en Europe du Nord-Ouest ne se limite pas à la seule question iconographique et pose pour l'objectif la compréhension de l'humain dans son acte représentatif. Aussi la problématique s'intéresse-t-elle à la modalité perceptive et sa mise en culture. Comprendre la représentation des bateaux durant le Moyen Age nord-européen s'attache ainsi à définir la verbalisation de l'objet technologique qu'est le navire, les modes de productions visuelles et les schémas mentaux qui lestent chacune des images tant mentales que visuelles d'un sens culturel. Il s'agit de donner une définition anthropologique de l'image du bateau restituée à son contexte de développement et d'ainsi rétablir l'intentionnalité créatrice de chacun des auteurs. Image d'un processus créatif en cours, le bateau mythologique pose donc les questions d'un comportement humain fondamental, aussi est-il important de baser cette analyse sur un questionnement épistémologique. Il s'agit de véritablement d'appréhender le mouvement créatif humain. Cette thèse est un bateau. / Studying the representation of ships in Nord-West Europe is not limited to the sole iconographic question, but aims to understand the human in its act of representation. To do so, this thesis asks the question of the human perception and its cultural result. In this perspective, a particular interest has been given to the words used by the populations to name the ship as a technological object, to the boat-shaped productions and images, and to the mental patterns behind each type of representation. In a nutshell, the thesis aims to give an anthropological definition of these particular images, by studying the production contexte and the author's intentionality. Image of a creative process, the mythological ship asks the questions of a fondamental human behavior, which implies a deeper epistemological analysis. Questioning the image of a ship is questioning the creative movement. This thesis is a boat.

A Teologia da Secularização de Harvey Cox e sua busca de plausibilidade para o Cristianismo / The Theology of Secularization of Harvey Cox and your search plausibility for the Christianity

Pereira, Olivar Alves 25 February 2010 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-03-15T19:48:58Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Olivar Alves Pereira.pdf: 1411844 bytes, checksum: ad21c031f20fb94eb86a9afee2d4135c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-02-25 / Discusses Theology of Secularization as proposed by the Baptist theologian Harvey Gallagher Cox Jr., who emerged in the academic and literary scene in the 1960s in full uproar caused by the Radical Theology, popularly known as the Movement of the Death of God. Analyzes five major works of that author who deal directly with the secularization and its implications for Christianity both Catholic and Protestant, and this analysis highlights what Harvey Cox proposes to search for the plausibility of Christianity. Thus, it follows that not all claims that Harvey Cox did in the 1960s about religion were correct, such as those related to the decline of religiosity, however, other claims sound like "prophetic" and have occured accurately. Aditionally, in order to do justice to the thought of that theologian it should not identify him as a "theologian of the death of God", but rather as a "theologian of secularization". Finally, if Christianity, represented by the Church (Catholic and Protestant) wants to be considered relevant during these days and in the future must be engaged in the society and serve it even having to deal with the declared atheism of such society. / Aborda a Teologia da Secularização assim proposta pelo teólogo batista Harvey Gallagher Cox Junior, o qual despontou no cenário acadêmico e literário na década de 1960 em pleno alvoroço causado pela Teologia Radical, popularmente conhecida como o Movimento da Morte de Deus. Analisa as cinco principais obras do referido autor que tratam diretamente da secularização e suas implicações para o Cristianismo tanto o católico como o protestante, e nessa análise destaca-se o que Harvey Cox propõe para a busca da plausibilidade para o Cristianismo. Conclui-se que nem todas as afirmações que Harvey Cox fez na década de 1960 sobre a religião estavam corretas, tais como as que se referiam ao declínio da religiosidade; contudo, outras afirmações deles soam como proféticas e se cumpriram com exatidão. Também que para se fazer justiça ao pensamento desse teólogo não se deve identificá-lo como um teólogo da morte de Deus , mas, sim, como um teólogo da secularização . E por fim, o Cristianismo representado pela Igreja (católica e protestante) se quiser encontrar-se relevante para esses dias e no futuro deverá se engajar na sociedade e servi-la mesmo tendo que lidar com o ateísmo declarado dessa sociedade.

A interpretação tipológica da Bíblia e seus reflexos na representação do povo judeu / The typological interpretation of the Bible and its influence in the representation of Jewish people

Marta Bernadete Frolini de Aguiar Marczyk 07 October 2010 (has links)
A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo apresentar a tipologia bíblica como fator de influência sobre a representação do povo judeu na civilização cristã. Para isso, busca-se descrever o procedimento de interpretação tipológica, enquanto forma de leitura e de composição do cânone escritural do cristianismo, salientando que a tipologia bíblica teve um papel decisivo na separação entre o credo cristão e o credo judaico. Observa-se a complexidade dessa ruptura, na qual houve uma legitimação dos escritos nucleares da tradição textual judaica, incorporando-os na Bíblia, paralelamente à desautorização das práticas de leitura dos judeus. Busca-se, recorrendo à formação do cânone cristão e aos escritos de antigos padres, Justino e Tertuliano, demonstrar que a tipologia bíblica envolve, além dos fatores interpretativos, uma apreciação negativa da figura do judeu, visto que, na ótica cristã, esse povo viola o princípio de dependência entre os assim chamados Antigo e Novo Testamentos. Observam-se algumas encíclicas papais, com o intuito de examinar a tradição cristã em seu estatuto de afastamento do judaísmo. Nesses escritos, constata-se que se mantêm a prescrição da tipologia bíblica e a recriminação de outras formas interpretativas. E, nos escritos contemporâneos de propagação do ódio contra os judeus, os \"Protocolos dos Sábios de Sião\" e os discursos de seus apologistas, percebe-se que a lógica da tipologia bíblica é uma forma particular e específica de caracterizar esse povo, que se sustenta ao lado, mas diferentemente, das representações depreciativas supostamente históricas. Propõe-se também um panorama da tipologia bíblica nas práticas literárias, percorrendo-se os estudos de Erich Auerbach e Northrop Frye, os quais demonstram sua influência bimilenar sobre a literatura ocidental. Sob essa perspectiva, apresentam-se duas obras de autores da literatura brasileira, um romance de José de Alencar e um poema de Jorge de Lima, que revelam dois modos pelos quais a tipologia bíblica se reflete na construção da imagem do judeu. A pesquisa, em seu conjunto, demonstra o quão relevante é reconhecer que a religião cristã consolidou-se historicamente a partir da cisão com o judaísmo e que, por essa razão, sustenta práticas de leitura que desautorizam as práticas da religião judaica. Mostra, dessa forma, que, muito frequentemente, esse ato de desautorização se estende dos preceitos religiosos para a comunidade judaica, formando e propagando representações depreciativas do povo judeu. / The aim of the present research is to present biblical typology as a factor affecting the representation of the Jewish people in Christian civilization. In order to do this, I endeavour to describe the procedure of typological interpretation as a means of reading and producing the canon of the Christian scriptures, emphasising that biblical typology had a key participation in the separation of the Christian and the Jewish faith.The complexity of this rupture, during which the main writings of the Jewish textual tradition became legitimised by their incorporation into the Bible, can be observed as a parallel to the discrediting of the Jewish reading practices. By resorting to the shaping of the Christian canon and the writings of the Early Church Fathers, Justine and Tertulian, I endeavour to show that biblical typology involves, besides interpretive factors, a negative appraisal of the Jewish, once that from the standpoint of Christianity this people would violate the interdependence principle between the so-called Old and New Testament. I study a number of papal encyclicals with the aim of examining the Christian tradition in its code of dismissal of Judaism. In these writings, the prescription of biblical typology is maintained, as well as the disapproval of other interpretive practices. Furthermore, in contemporary writings disseminating the hatred against the Jews, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and their apologists\' discourses, one can notice that the rationale of biblical typology is a particular and specific form of characterising this people that is supported by, although independently, deprecating representations supposedly historical. I also propose a survey of literary practices of biblical typology, by going through the studies of Erich Auerbach and Northrop Frye, which demonstrate its influence along the last two millenia on Western literature.Under this perspective, I present two literary works by Brazilian authors, a novel by José de Alencar and a poem by Jorge de Lima, revealing two ways in which biblical typology is reflected in the construction of the image of the Jew. This research, in sum, demonstrates how important it is to recognise that Christian religion consolidated historically with its split from Judaism and that it thereby maintains reading practices that discredit Jewish religion. It shows, in this way, that more than often this act of discrediting spreads from the religious precepts to the Jewish community, thus shaping and disseminating representations that depreciate the Jewish people.

Judaísmo messiânico no Brasil: a Beit sar shalom: um estudo de caso / Mesyanic judaism in Brazil: Beit Sar Shalom - a case study

Deborah Hornblas Travassos 02 October 2008 (has links)
O objetivo central desta dissertação foi mostrar como os judeus messiânicos da sinagoga Beit Sar Shalom vêem a si próprios e como são vistos pelos grupos de fora de suas fronteiras étnicas, no caso, como eles são vistos pelas lideranças judaicas seculares e religiosas da cidade de São Paulo. O judaísmo messiânico é uma religião que mistura elementos do cristianismo, pois acredita que o messias enviado por Deus é Jesus, e do judaísmo, porque mantém parte de seus rituais, festas e tradições. A partir da análise realizada foi possível concluir que se trata de um tipo paradigmático de religião sincrética, em que os elementos ora do cristianismo, ora do judaísmo são cuidadosamente selecionados e aplicados a seu corpo doutrinário. O trabalho foi desenvolvido a partir da etnografia da sinagoga messiânica Beit Sar Shalom localizada em São Paulo no bairro de Higienópolis. Foram analisados aspectos ritualísticos dessa religião, assim como aspectos identitários a exemplo de rituais de iniciação e de passagem comparando-os com rituais judaicos tradicionais. / The central objective of this dissertation was to show how messianic jews from Beit Sar Shalom synagogue see themselves and how they are seen by the groups outside their ethnicity frontiers, in the present case, how they are seen by Jew leadership secular and religious from São Paulo city. Messianic Judaism is a religion that mixes elements of Christianity, because they believe that the messiah sent by God is Jesus and Judaism because maintaining part of the rituals, festivities and traditions. The results of this analyze should be seen as indicators that the religion was concluded as a kind of paradigmatic syncretic one, in which elements of Christianity and Judaism are carefully selected and applied to the doctrinaire body. The study was developed having as starting point the ethnography of the Beit Sar Shalom, messianic synagogue, located in São Paulo in the borough Higienópolis. Ritualistic aspects of this religion were analyzed as were identity aspects such as initiation and passage rituals, comparing them with traditional jewish rites.

A dissertação, portanto, busca analisar as críticas do romancista russo às ideologias ocidentais, bem como em que sentido essa concepção é elaborada enquanto uma crítica da modernidade, porém nos termos de um discurso moderno. O escritor foi condenado por conspiração revolucionária contra o czar e a experiência do cárcere deixou marcas profundas em sua trajetória literária. A fim de compreender o impacto dessa influência, o presente trabalho investiga a vida e a obra do romancista, no período entre 1845 e 1864. Dostoiévski ancorou sua literatura em um vocabulário religioso adquirido nesse contato com os camponeses russos, enquanto esteve preso. A interpretação do autor acerca do cristianismo do povo russo será determinante na composição de suas obras futuras e redefinirá suas posições artísticas, políticas e religiosas. Partindo de uma defesa do solo russo, enquanto único espaço capaz de articular uma oposição às teorias racionalista e romântica, o romancista estabelece sua crítica da modernidade. Por fim, o trabalho buscará mostrar que, em vez de uma resposta, Dostoiévski termina sua obra questionando se há um fundamento, religioso ou secular, sobre o qual o homem pode justificar a virtude. / The Dostoevsky’s works were received in Western Europe as a perverse criticism that casted new light into the dominant intelectual movements of the period. Therefore, this thesis seeks to analyze the Russian novelist’s criticism of Western ideologies, and how that critical conception is designed as a critique of modernity, but formulated in the terms of a modern discourse. The writer was convicted for taking part in a revolutionary conspiracy against the czar, and this experience as a prisoner left deep marks in his literary trajectory. Aiming to understand the impact of these dramatic and difficult years in the author’s creations, the present research investigates his life and works between 1845 and 1864. Dostoevsky anchored his literary production in a religious vocabulary aquired through the contact with the Russian peasents while imprisoned. Thus, the writer’s interpreation regarding the christianity of the Russian people will be vital to the composition of his future works and will redefine his artistic, political and religious positions. Starting from the defense of the Russian soil, considering it the only space able to articulate an oposition to the rationalist and romantic theories, the novelist will establish his critique of modernity. Lastly, this study proposes to demonstrate that, instead of an answer, Dostoevsky finishes his work questioning the possibility of a foundation, religious or secular, upon which man can justify virtue.

Sidoine Apollinaire et la Gaule chrétienne au Ve siècle / Sidonius Apollinaris and christian Gaul in the fifth century

Desbrosses, Lucie 18 October 2018 (has links)
Ce travail de doctorat s'inscrit dans le champ d'étude de l'histoire des identités religieuses et culturelles et a pour objectif premier d'analyser comment l'oeuvre poétique et épistolaire de Sidoine Apollinaire éclaire la spécificité de l'identité chrétienne gauloise durant la période tardo-antique ; il s'agit aussi de montrer comment ce corpus contribue à définir une identité sociale et religieuse dans la Gaule chrétienne au Ve siècle, en tenant compte des renoncements et des compromis culturels qu'implique la conversion. Nous nous intéressons notamment aux évolutions de la christianité qui sont perceptibles au cours des années d'activité de Sidoine Apollinaire qui se présente comme une source de premier plan sur ces questions puisqu'il est d'abord apparenté à l'élite sociale laïque, puis au monde clérical gaulois, sphères entre lesquelles il nous permet de mettre en évidence les rapports de continuité ou de rupture. Cette approche adopte une démarche diachronique et inscrit en premier lieu l'auteur dans le contexte historique et géographique d'un christianisme occidental qui trouve son ancrage à Rome, mais qui dispose de centres de rayonnement en Gaule, à une époque qui est encore exposée aux mutations culturelles et religieuses. Deux problématiques de recherches ont orienté notre propos : Quelle christianité se forge en Gaule au Ve siècle, et quels sont les faciès de cette religion d'après Sidoine, son réseau, ses lectures? Quels renoncements et quels compromis implique la conversion chrétienne à l'égard des composantes de l'ancien monde, qu'elles soient d'ordre idéologique, sociale ou esthétiques ? / This dissertation examines how poetic and epistolary works of Sidonius Apollinaris brings light upon christian Gaul identity during late Antiquity, and how this author takes part in defining it. This essay focuses on christian speeches, behaviours and duties towards former culture and especially pagan background, paying peculiar attention to claims of renunciation and actual compromises towards past patterns. This essay firstly tries to paint a picture of fifth-century christianity in Gaul, studying how and how much the religio noua has penetrated gallic provincies, and showing remanence of heterodox and «pagan» believes. It also examines the cultural continuity and discontinuity that occurs during religious transition from laity to conversion and clerical status, for which Sidonius Apollinaris, belonging first to lay social élite, then to thee cleric world, appears like a key-figure. This work especially focuses on the importance of poems-writing to enhance a christian identity but also to express one's nostalgic attachement to the ancient world, its litterature, its culture and its erstwhile pleasures.

Comunicação visual na antiguidade cristã: a construção de um discurso imagético cristão do Ante Pacem aoTempora Christiana (s. III ao VI) / Visual communication in Christian Antiquity: the construction of an imagetic discourse from Ante Pacem to Tempora Christiana (IIIth to VIth centuries)

Gregori, Alessandro Mortaio 04 June 2014 (has links)
Utilizando-se da metodologia proposta pela Arqueologia da Imagem, assim como dos estudos iconográficos tradicionais, este trabalho procura compreender a origem e posterior evolução das imagens paleocristãs entre os séculos III e inícios do VI.Considerando que a cristianização do mundo romano foi um processo lento e gradual, o estudo deimagens cristãs do período assinalado pretende averiguar, com o auxílio da análise da cultura material, a possibilidade de se identificar a formação de um discurso imagético, ou de um programa doutrinário visual cristãoao longo da Antiguidade Tardia. A investigação e explicitação deste discurso, por meio da pesquisa arqueológica, intenta decifrar a conexão existente entre arte e sociedade, localizando na evolução da iconografia cristã antiga a essência do poder das imagens para aquela comunidade, seu conteúdo de produção e difusão de símbolos identitários e espirituais. / Using the methodology established by the Archaeology of Image and the traditional iconographic studies, this present work intends to understand the origins and further evolution of paleochristian images between the IIIth and the beggining of the VIth century. The christianization of the Roman world was a slow and gradual process. The work with christian images of the period tries to investigate, with also the help of christian material culture, the creation of an imagetic discourse, or a visual doctrinal program through the Late Antiquity. The research and the exploitations of this discourse in archaeology intends to decipher the connection between art and society, localizing in the evolution of the ancient christian iconography the power of images, its content of production and the diffusion of spiritual and identity symbols.

Religion et maladie dans le récit de fiction de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle / Religion and sickness in the fictional narrative of the second half of the 19th century

Sermadiras, Émilie 05 June 2019 (has links)
Cette thèse se propose d’étudier les récits de fiction de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle qui illustrent l’idée selon laquelle la « maladie est l’état naturel du chrétien ». Les affinités électives entre religion et pathologie intéressent à la fois les auteurs réalistes et naturalistes (Émile Zola, les Goncourt, Alphonse Daudet, etc.) qui envisagent la croyance dans une perspective polémique de démystification, voire de médicalisation ; et les écrivains catholiques (Barbey d’Aurevilly, Léon Bloy, J.-K. Huysmans, Émile Baumann) qui remotivent le sens spirituel des afflictions physiques. La mise en regard d’œuvres rassemblées autour d’une unité thématique – le spectacle d’un croyant malade – mais relevant d’esthétiques et de courants de pensée dissemblables permet d’étudier la manière dont la représentation littéraire cristallise les débats de l’époque au sujet du christianisme, tout en faisant émerger des problématiques communes à des auteurs que la critique a coutume d’envisager sous l’angle restrictif de leurs oppositions. Il s’agit de mettre en lumière les relations d’influences réciproques entre des écrivains qui, par-delà leurs divergences, fondent leur représentation du religieux sur un même imaginaire pathologique et sur une même poétique de l’incarnation. Ce travail entend montrer comment le renouvellement du sentiment religieux – que ce soit dans une perspective apologétique ou au contraire critique – passe par une écriture du corps souffrant, malade ou en proie à des troubles psychophysiologiques mystérieux. Ce dernier est le lieu et l’enjeu d’une réflexion sur la foi, sur le système de pensées et de croyances du christianisme et sur les institutions ecclésiastiques. / This dissertation analyzes fictions that, in the second half of the 19th century, illustrate the idea that "sickness is the natural state of a Christian". The elective affinities between religion and pathology interest both realist or naturalistic novelists (such as Émile Zola, the Goncourts, Alphonse Daudet, etc.), whose polemical view aims at demystifying or even medicalizing beliefs, as well as catholic writers (Barbey d’Aurevilly, Léon Bloy, J.-K. Huysmans, Émile Baumann), who emphasize the spiritual meaning of physical afflictions. The parallel between fictions that are all based on the spectacle of a sick believer, but engage contrasting writing styles and currents of thought, shows how much literature crystallises the debate that is going on at the time about Christianism. It also uncovers a point of commonality between writers that critics are used to consider under the restrictive perspective of their opposition. This study aims to highlight the mutual influences that link together several writers who, beyond their differences, base their representation of religious feelings on the same pathological imaginary and the same poetics of incarnation. We argue that the renewal of religious feelings, whether it's in an apologetical or critical perspective, relies on the description of a body which suffers pain, sickness or mysterious psychophysiological disorders. Ultimately, the body conveys considerations about faith, Christian ideology and beliefs and ecclesiastic institutions.
