Orientador: Ana Raquel Marques da Cunha Martins Portugal / Banca: Eliane Cristina Deckmann Fleck / Banca: Lélio Luiz de Oliveira / Resumo: Nessa pesquisa, nos propomos a analisar os relatos escritos pelos primeiros conquistadores do antigo Peru, relatos estes, constituídos por Cartas e Relações e que compartilham da característica comum de terem sido escritos pelos próprios participantes da conquista. Não pretendemos reconstituir a história da conquista do Peru, tema já tão visitado pela historiografia. Nossa intenção consiste em verificar quais são as sensações provocadas por este Novo Mundo, as expectativas, os medos e as frustrações que acompanharam esses homens durante as viagens que culminaram na tomada de Cajamarca e na captura e morte do Inca Atahualpa. Com isso, almejamos demonstrar como os conquistadores se viram nesse mundo desconhecido, qual a imagem que cunharam de si mesmos e quais os motivos que para eles justificavam a conquista. Mais especificamente, examinaremos quais foram as ideias e imagens construídas por esses conquistadores acerca dos povos e terras que encontraram e acerca de si próprios. Para isso, levaremos em consideração em que medida as ideias com as quais esses homens tiveram contato anteriormente estabeleceram parâmetros para suas conclusões / Abstract: In this research, we consider to analyze the reports written from the first conquerors of old Peru, constituted of Letters and Relations and that share the common characteristic of have been written for the own participants of the conquest.

This dissertation intends to reveal the theme of the conqueror, which is spread throughout the book of Revelation. I try to determine the identity and function of the conquerors who were faced with various problems in their present situations. Various present situations such as the political, economical, social, and religious phenomena that the first Christians confronted must be considered. Thus, the main aim of Revelation is to persuade compromising Christians to disengage from pagan idolatry and to sustain those who resist. One must remember the fact that the designated conquerors were absolutely embedded in their historical and sociological situation. We should recognize why John wanted to send his prophetic message through various symbolic references and universes, providing a different heavenly perspective in contrast with an earthly point of view. In general, the conquest can be linked with both a military and political meaning, such as Messiah and the son of David in Jewish literature and the Old Testament. But the conqueror figure in Revelation can be understood from a different angle. The characteristic of the conqueror is explained through the symbolic transformation of redemptive death and victory. It means that the idea of conquering has been changed. Conquering doesn’t depend on a military or political power that is the interpretation of the traditional messianic expectation, but self-sacrifice of the Lamb on the cross. The characteristic of the Lamb as conqueror is closely linked with the image of an atoning, sacrificial victim. The theme of suffering and death in Revelation is linked with the victory of the conquerors. That is, the conquerors can be defined as those who endure suffering, slander, poverty and tribulation unto death as Jesus has done. From a worldly perspective, Satan looks like the almighty figure as the conqueror that persecuted the people of God, but in terms of the heavenly perspective, he is defeated and conquered by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of God in 12:11. Therefore, conquering is provided from the heavenly perspective to encourage the conquerors as seeing the present reality. Just as the Lamb has conquered the evil ones by his blood, the conquerors should conquer the evil ones by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. Thus, the victory of the conquerors can be attained by means of witness and death. The idea that the conquerors are the victims might provide the people of God with a powerful symbolic transformation as a marginalized group in a hostile world. The conquerors are provided with a heavenly perspective, implying an eschatological fulfillment and God’s presence in the New Jerusalem. The image of the New Jerusalem provides a rhetorical effect that the people of God as conquerors will experience salvation in the future. Whereas the city of Babylon was drunk with the blood of the conquerors, the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven will dwell with God as the completion of the fulfillment God promised (cf. 21:1-22:5). / Thesis (PhD (New Testament Studies))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / New Testament Studies / PhD / unrestricted
