Sammanfattning: Shamanism har ständigt varit ett populärt ämne att studera, där bland annat problem med shamanism-begreppet har lyfts fram av en rad olika forskare. Shamanism har i de flesta fall definierats som religion, trots att omfattande forskning har belyst det utspridda motståndet till definitionen bland utövare i västvärlden. Studien har undersökt likheter och skillnader mellan utövare av shamanism i nutida Sverige, vad gäller åsikter, praktik och definierande. Den har byggt på en kvalitativ analys av semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex utövare som även har varit verksamma inom shamanism. Studien har påvisat att motståndet till att definiera shamanism som religion existerar bland dessa utövare. Religion har beskrivits som något organiserat med läror och regler, medan shamanism har beskrivits som något fritt, där praktik, värderingar och trosuppfattningar har varierat bland utövare. Debatten kring shamanism-begreppets eventuella problem har även förekommit inom shamanska kretsar och det har existerat skilda meningar bland utövare, likväl som det har existerat skilda meningar bland forskare.

This crisis took on alarming proportions in the second half of the XX century, when the river pollution reached the extension ofthree hundred and fifty kilometres and the low water quality has caused contagious diseases, disabling its use even for the electric power generation. Our hypothesis is (1) that the causes of the ecological crisis in the river Tietê isn't only in the material and objective dimension, but also has to do with the estrangement of man's relationship with the symbolic and the sacred. And that, therefore, (2) the resolution ofthis crisis should aiso include human subjectivity. To verify these hypotheses, we used theoretical and historical research of the ecological crisis in the river, as well as the religious symbolism of thé river water, and the imaginary links between the citizens from São Paulo and the river along with the history ofthe city. It also raised the current strategies that have been used tomanage the crisis. The theoretical referential that permeates the dissertation is an interface of the concept of symbolism of Ernst Cassirer's, Mircea Eliade and Carl G. Jung works. We concluded that the causes of the ecological crisis in Tietê are linked with the loss of meaning of the symbolism of the water and ofthe river, and that the strategies, to work with the same should include the cultural dimension, spiritual and psychic. It should be understood that it's necessary to consider the integration between objectivity and subjectivity, also cultural and economical development, to consider the mentioned crisis, in arder to work out proposals looking to reverse-revitalize the symbol of the river and the water, putting an end to the ecological crisis in the Tietê river / A presente dissertação tem como objetivo propor um referencial teórico das ciências da religião e da psicologia analítica para o estudo do impasse cultura desenvolvimento econômico no âmbito da crise ecológica no rio Tietê, em São Paulo. A referida crise tomou proporções alarmantes na segunda metade do século XX, quando a poluição do rio atingiu trezentos e cinqüenta quilômetros de extensão e a má qualidade da água provocava doenças infecto contagiosas, impossibilitando o seu uso até mesmo para a geração de energia elétrica. Nossa hipótese é (1) que as causas da crise ecológica no rio Tietê não se encontram apenas na dimensão material, objetiva, mas também têm a ver com o distanciamento da relação do homem com o simbólico e o sagrado. E que, portanto, (2) a resolução desta crise também deve abranger a subjetividade humana. Para constatar estas hipóteses, fizemos uso de pesquisa teórica e histórica da crise ecológica no rio, bem como do simbolismo religioso da água, do rio e do imaginário paulistano ligado ao rio ao longo da história da cidade. Levantou-se também as estratégias atuais que vêm sendo usadas para lidar com a crise. O referencial teórico que permeia a dissertação é uma interface do conceito de símbolo das obras de Ernst Cassirer, Mircea Eliade e Carl G. Jung. Concluímos que as causas da crise ecológica no Tietê estão ligadas com a perda de significado do simbolismo da água e do rio, e que as estratégias para lidar com a mesma devem incluir a dimensão cultural, espiritual e psíquica. Entendemos que é necessário considerar a integração entre objetividade e subjetividade, entre desenvolvimento cultural e econômico, para se pensar a crise mencionada, a fim de elaborar propostas que busquem re-vitalizar o símbolo do rio e da água visando o fim da crise ecológica no rio

<p>This essay is a work on Mircea Eliades's interpretation of the religious human understood as "homo religiosus" and the role of the shaman from the Eliade perspective. In Eliade human existence consists of a dichotomy between the sacred and the profane. The question is whether one can understand the concept of Eliades “axis mundi”, center of the universe? Can we create an understanding of human existence with Eliade? Can one use  phenomenology of religion as perspective for the exploration of “reality”? Furthermore, this paper aims to understand the role of the shaman has religious worldviews.

The study on religious symbolism includes categories of the human as well as concepts and experiences with the sacred lived by the religious men. The world is revealed through symbols, in which it is possible to achieve a better understanding of the human being. This research assistson the understanding of religion as a phenomenonof the culture, whereas the symbolism reveals the mode of human being in the world. This work contemplates the proposal of Eliade s hermeneutics, which refers to a study for the search of meaning and significations in religious documents. Besides the understanding of the hermeneutical method, the possibility of a new epistemology of symbolwas examined. Eliade s propositionon religious symbolism is also explored in the identification of what is considered to be passive and dynamic in the process of religious symbolism, and how this dialectical relation happens. Passivity and dynamic are implicit categories on Eliade sthought,therefore this subject composes an hermeneutic effort to understand the author. The redefinition of religious symbolsis another step that had been observed in the process of symbolization. The redefinition is worked in respect to the experienced sense crisis in the contemporaneity. This is a work that highlights the importance of considering the various disciplines to the comprehension of the religious phenomenon, having a well-establishedphenomenological approach. As this research seeks to interpret the religious data in order toreach the essence or the structure that is present in all religious manifestations, we could say this research grasps both phenomenological and hermeneutical proposition. This study can be characterized by an interpretation of Eliade sthought, where systematization and new possibilities of readings of his worksare presented. / A pesquisa investiga o processo de simbolização no pensamento de Mircea Eliade. A investigação sobre o simbolismo religioso abrange as categorias do humano bem como as concepções e experiências com o sagrado, vivenciadas pelo homem religioso. O mundo se revela através dos símbolos, sendo possível através deles ter uma melhor compreensão do ser humano. A pesquisa auxilia na compreensão da religião enquanto fenômeno da cultura, considerando que o simbolismo revela o modo de ser humano no mundo. O trabalho contempla a proposta da hermenêutica eliadiana, que se refere a um estudo pela busca do sentido e das significações nos documentos religiosos. Além da compreensão do método hermenêutico foi verificada a possibilidade de indicação para uma nova epistemologia dos símbolos. A proposta de Eliade sobre o simbolismo religioso é também explorada na identificação do que há de passivo e dinâmico no processo de simbolização religiosa e como ocorre essa relação dialética. Passividade e dinâmica são categorias implícitas no pensamento de Eliade, portanto, essa temática constitui-se num esforço hermenêutico para compreender o autor. Outra etapa que foi observada no processo de simbolização foi a ressignificação dos símbolos religiosos. A ressignificação é trabalhada em relação à crise de sentidos vivenciada na contemporaneidade. Um trabalho que ressalta a importância da consideração das diversas disciplinas para compreensão do fenômeno religioso, mas que tem seu enfoque fenomenológico bem demarcado. Poderíamos dizer que a pesquisa abarca tanto as propostas da fenomenologia quanto da hermenêutica, na medida em que visa uma interpretação dos dados religiosos para se chegar à essência ou a uma estrutura que se encontra presente em todas as manifestações religiosas. A investigação pode ser caracterizada como uma interpretação do pensamento de Eliade, onde são apresentadas sistematizações e novas possibilidades de leituras de suas obras.
