This research, which lies in the area of Practical Theology, examines the gap between theory and praxis among Holy Cross sisters and Dominican priests and brothers of the Roman Catholic Church in Southern Africa, with special reference to Zimbabwe and South Africa. It proposes scaffolds for better synthesis of theory and practice for the purposes of bridging what is learnt in the academy and the praxis requirements of mission and ministry. The major strain noted by this research is that of the out of context theology. The experiences of the post-novitiate brothers and sisters have shown that there is need for doing contextual theology, which enables the members to adapt to new situations and contexts without imposing imported theology and ideas on the faithful. The second strain has been that of an inadequate formation programme, which has incapacitated nuns and members of the clergy from fully practising their spiritual maternity and paternity in their ministries. The chasm between the inadequate theoretical formation in novitiate and the practical life of ministry and mission creates abrupt and unnerving hurdles for those in temporary vows. Lack of Catholic grounding also impedes smooth transitions between stages, and concerted efforts have to be made to address this problem. Whilst the vow of obedience has a strong aspect of listening from both African and Latin roots, there are times when the interpretation of the vow may be highly influenced by cultural contexts. This is true with regards personal expenditure of allowances. The research has also discovered that proficiency in inculturation and the use of African languages, values and perspectives could bring about the joy of being an African religious. It is also important that from the time the novices are introduced to the formation programme, they are made aware that they are called to be prophets who reach out to those on the margins of society. The proposed formation programme in Chapter Four has recommended more time in the novitiate, as well as gradual and ritualised exit, to cater for those who believe they leave novitiate prematurely. It also recommends the introduction of theology of hope. / Dissertation (MTh)--University of Pretoria, 2020. / Practical Theology / MTh / Unrestricted

FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico / A presente pesquisa trata sobre os processos de consagrados e seus mecanismos de construÃÃo de diferenciaÃÃo entre os DJs da cidade de Fortaleza. Partindo das compreensÃes de Bourdieu, as aÃÃes dos agentes no seu espaÃo social, indicados pelo habitus, criam uma luta simbÃlica por posiÃÃes de prestÃgio atravÃs do acÃmulo de capital simbÃlico dentro da cena. AtravÃs do resgate histÃrico de suas carreiras, à possÃvel identificar as possÃveis instÃncias de consagraÃÃo e legitimaÃÃo dos agentes. Propus-me a pensar os sujeitos e suas atribuiÃÃes de sentido que estabelecem a partir das vivÃncias, das ideias e do conhecimento necessÃrio para se tornar consagrado, reconhecido, lembrado pelos demais DJs da cidade. Os dados utilizando sÃo entrevistas com trÃs agentes (Fil, Fran Viana e Rodrigo LobbÃo), associadas Ãs notÃcias e entrevistas veiculadas em jornais, sites, revistas e blogs especializados na disseminaÃÃo das atividades da cena local. Como resultado, percebe-se uma lÃgica particular, no qual hà relaÃÃo direta entre o acÃmulo de conhecimento, proporcionado pelas experiÃncias de sua carreira, e as posiÃÃes de deferÃncia aos demais.

Para que se possa, de fato, entender determinado grupo social e sua importância no decorrer da história, é indispensável analisar os contextos que permearam seu desenvolvimento, ressaltando as relações estabelecidas com as instituições sociais e identificando como se dá a consagração entre os pares. É partindo de tal perspectiva que o trabalho aqui proposto teve como objetivo desvendar os mais relevantes aspectos do desenvolvimento de uma poderosa instituição de produção e de transmissão cultural na sociedade brasileira: a publicidade; assim como as relações de poder que importantes profissionais da área desenvolveram. Mais especificamente, buscou-se aqui colocar em pauta a questão da atividade publicitária como campo social ou espaço de interesses e capitais específicos, constituídos a partir da influência dos Estados Unidos, de suas agências e clientes, e se adaptando ao cenário sócio-político brasileiro e às configurações do Regime Militar. Para tal, buscamos reconstruir a emergência de um grupo publicitário hierarquizado, identificando suas instituições de consagração, suas relações políticas e os contextos históricos que contribuíram para a constituição de um habitus. O estudo foi pautado no levantamento de fontes documentais, tais como material de imprensa, anuários publicitários, entrevistas e depoimentos do arquivo do Centro de Pesquisa e Documentação de História Contemporânea do Brasil. Também foi executada exploração bibliográfica das relações entre Brasil e Estados Unidos e publicações sobre a trajetória da área em ambos os países, buscando analisar, na perspectiva da sociologia da produção de bens simbólicos, os principais condicionantes da ascensão dos representantes de tal campo e suas relações com a esfera política, sempre dentro de sua tradicional lealdade com o mundo empresarial, no qual se recrutam os anunciantes / In order to actually understand a particular social group and its importance throughout history, it is essential to analyze the contexts that permeated its development, highlighting the relationships established with the social institutions and identifying its legitimate consecration capital. From this perspective, the research presented here aimed to unravel the main aspects of the development of a powerful institution of cultural production and transmission in Brazilian society: advertising; as well as the power and political relations that important professionals of that field developed. More specifically, we sought to put on the agenda the issue of advertising activity as a social field, holder of specific interests and capital, starting from the US influence, its agencies and clients, as well as the adaptation to Brazilian social and political scenario and the settings established by Military Government. To this end, we sought to reconstruct the emergence of an elite of advertisers, identifying their consecration institutions and the political and historical contexts that have contributed to the formation of a habitus. The study was based on the research of documentary sources, such as press material, advertising annuals, interviews and testimonials from Center for Research and Documentation of Contemporary History of Brazil files. Besides, we explored what has already been produced regarding Brazil and US relations and the development of the field in both countries, seeking to analyze, from the perspective of the sociology of production of symbolic goods, the main determinants of the rise of the representatives of such a field and their relations with political institutions, always seeking for a true perspective of the corporative world, where clients are recruited
