This means that the father the man is affected differently? There are few studies about the relationship of the father with the deaf son. It s possible to say that there is deafness to the speech of the father, and this way is legitimated that the child, in the case, deaf, is a son (daughter) of the mother. This study aims to give voice to the famer and enable a listening, so it can dismantle some preconceptions about him, more specifically, about his absence. Interviews were made with three listener parents with a deaf son (daughter) of different groups, in order to verify whether or not happening in elaborative-significant changes in the male genitors psychic world derived from a longer period of preparation of the narcissistic wound set up by the imperfection of the child. The work follows the models of a clinical-qualitative research and the analysis of the collected data was made from a psychoanalytical reference. It became well obvious that the participating parents closely monitor their sons (daughters), but because of the narcissistic uproar caused by the detection of the deafness of him (her), they feel at fault with the child. Moreover, there was evidence of some difficulty in the aim to fulfill the ban on fusional ties mother-deaf child / Uma série de estudiosos da psicanálise que se ocuparam com a questão da relação dos pais com um filho que apresenta alguma deficiência, apontou para a dificuldade de acesso ao pai pela criança, e também que o tipo de relação que a mãe estabelece com o filho deficiente torna impossível qualquer projeção humana sobre este. Isto significa que o pai o homem , é afetado de forma diferente? Há poucos estudos sobre a relação do pai com o filho surdo. Pode-se dizer que há uma surdez para a fala do pai, e desta forma fica legitimado que a criança, no caso, surda, é filha da mãe. Este estudo objetiva dar voz ao pai e possibilitar uma escuta, para que se possam desmontar algumas preconcepções em relação a ele, mais especificamente, sobre sua ausência. Foram realizadas entrevistas-consultas com três pais ouvintes com filho(a) surdo(a) de faixas etárias diferentes, no intuito de verificar se aconteciam ou não modificações elaborativo-significativas no mundo psíquico dos genitores masculinos, oriundas de um período mais longo de elaboração da ferida narcísica instaurada pela imperfeição do filho. O trabalho segue os moldes de uma pesquisa clínico-qualitativa e a análise dos dados levantados foi feita a partir de referencial psicanalítico. Ficou bem evidenciado que os pais participantes acompanham de perto seu (sua) filho(a), mas, em função do abalo narcísico provocado pela detecção da surdez desse(a), sentem-se em falta com o(a) filho(a). Além disso, evidenciou-se certa dificuldade no sentido de cumprirem a interdição de laços fusionais mãe-filho(a) surdo(a)

Text in German, summaries in English and German / This dissertation is a missiological research on reports of first and second generation missionaries from the Hermannsburg mission society in Germany. The missionaries worked for their lifetime among the Batswana. An important point in the first chapter is the attempt to clarify the theological foundation for the understandung of inculturation, from which my conception later arose. The second chapter deals with the founders of the Hermannsburg missionary society and describes the spiritual background of the missionaries. The following three chapters cover the work of the missionaries, in each case father and son at Dinokana, Bethanie and Phokeng chronologically from 1857 - 1940. Special attention is given to their socio-cultural expierences and traditional-religious knowledge. The last chapter evaluates the work of the missionaries and takes into account the present missiological debate on mission. Here again it becomes clear what I mean by Inculturation. / Die vorliegende Arbeit ist eine missionsgeschichtliche und -theologische Untersuchung uber die ersten beiden Generationen Hermannsburger Missionare unter den Batswana in Transvaal. Im ersten Kapitel stelle ich verschiedene Konzepte zum Verstandnis von lnkulturation vor, aus denen ich Anstosse fur meine eigene Konzeption gewonnen habe. Das zweite Kapitel beschreibt die spirituelle Herkunft der Missionare und ihre theologische Pragung. In den folgenden drei Kapiteln untersuche ich die Arbeit der Missionare, jeweils Vater und Sohn, auf ihren Stationen Dinokana, Bethanie und Phokeng von 1857 - 1940 in chronologischer Reihenfolge. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf den sozio-kulturellen Erfahrungen und traditionell-religiosen Erkenntnissen dieser Missionare. Das letzte Kapitel enthalt eine Bewertung der Missionsarbeit und beleuchtet sie auf den Hintergrund der gegenwartigen missionstheologischen Diskussion. Besonder in diesem Kapitel wird noch einmal deutlich wie ich Inkulturation verstanden habe. / Missiology / D.Th. (Missiology)
