Previous issue date: 2008 / Este estudo se propôs a colocar em análise modos de subjetivação da loucura, através das experiências dos usuários de um CAPS, nas religiões pentecostais, em um município no interior da Bahia, identificando possíveis articulações entre estas instituições. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, com o referencial da Análise Institucional e inspiração na Etnografia, tendo como sujeitos participantes da pesquisa, quatro usuários com diagnóstico de psicose e filiação religiosa às igrejas pentecostais, seus familiares e equipe técnica do CAPS. Neste estudo, parte-se do entendimento da loucura como uma experiência disruptiva singular e plural, cuja processualidade, movimento incessante e potência instituinte, podem ser capturados, estagnados, assumindo o caráter de “doença/ sofrimento”. A complexidade que permeia a experiência da loucura, ao longo da história, aponta para o seu entrelaçamento com a vida, com a cultura e a produção de subjetividade. Neste entrelaçamento, o encontro com a religião aparece de modos distintos e contraditórios, tais como forma significativa de entendimento do mundo e da vida, espaço que promove a inclusão e suporte social, e pode atuar como agência terapêutica, que faz parte do itinerário terapêutico de pessoas em situação de dor e sofrimento. Parte-se do pressuposto de que a relação entre o CAPS - dispositivo estratégico substitutivo ao modelo manicomial, articulador de uma de rede de atenção integral em saúde mental, e a religião, se situa num campo de forças, enquanto modos de produzir saberes e fazeres sobre a loucura, sobre e com o louco. Esta tensão parece se acentuar na relação com determinadas religiões, como as pentecostais, que concebem a loucura como possessão demoníaca, o que mobiliza rituais de exorcismo, como fora percebido com os dados produzidos nesta pesquisa. Apesar da disputa entre modos de entender e lidar com a loucura, se constatou a existência de uma mesma lógica manicomial que perpassa a instituição religiosa e o CAPS, que produzem subjetividades manicomiais. Assim como se constatou que essas instituições, em alguns casos, se configuram como modos importantes de inclusão social e produção de novos sentidos para a experiência da loucura. / Salvador

Jurodivost a jiné projevy substandardního chování z pohledu řečově-komunikačních taktik. Na materiálu Minejí pro čtení Dimitrije Rostovského / The holy foolishness and other expressions of sub-standard behaviour from the point of view of speech-behaviour tactics Based on Dimitry of Rostov's Chetii MineiŘoutil, Michal January 2012 (has links)
The presented thesis deals with the holy foolishness and other expressions of sub- standard behaviour as part of hagiography. It is examined from the point of view of the so-called "singular speech-behaviour tactics" (сингулярные рече-поведенческие тактики) and based on the analysis of texts taken from the most comprehensive corpus of the hagiographic texts written in the Church Slavonic, Dimitry of Rostov's Chetii Minei. The thesis consists of the Introduction, three main chapters, Conclusion and Bibliography. The first chapter focuses on history: it describes relevant works on the Russian hagiographic literature of the 11th-17th centuries concerning the hagiographies of the holy fools, it shows the current state of search in Russia and describes the basic monuments of literature. The second part of this chapter deals with the life and work of a great Russian writer of the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, Dimitry of Rostov (1651-1709). The second chapter is devoted to the methodological approach used in the thesis, i.e. the singular speech-behaviour tactics as understood by E.M. Vereshchagin and V.G. Kostomarov, who introduced them in the world science. Furthermore, the wider and narrower context of the research carried in this field up to date is shown. In the third chapter, the essential...

Figure de la femme dans les romans de Tahar Ben Jelloun / Feminine Figure in the Novels of Tahar Ben JellounRadi, Fakhereeddine 19 January 2012 (has links)
La tragédie du personnage féminin dans certains écrits de Tahar Ben Jelloun, au regard de la réalité, sociale, religieuse, culturelle, économique et politique impose une analyse herméneutique des contours de la situation authentique de la femme marocaine, d'hier et d'aujourd'hui. Cette démarche tentera, dans un premier temps, de mettre en lumière, l'imaginaire littéraire qui met le thème du fantasme de la décadence, de l'érotisme exacerbé et de la volupté débridée au cœur du dispositif narratif chez l'auteur marocain. L'ébauche analytique,des figures féminines dans les romans choisis dans cette étude, cheminera vers l'exposition d'un modèle féminin stéréotypé qui met en exergue la relation conflictuelle de Tahar Ben Jelloun, auteur francophone et francophile par excellence, avec certaines formes de la culture marocaine. Cet apport permettra en fin la mise en évidence d'une forme de nomadisme linguistique mêlant exotisation, oralité et langue française dans un processus de recyclage et de renouvellent thématique constant et permanent. / The tragedy of the feminine character in some of Tahar Ben Jelloun's writings, in view of the social, religious, economical and political reality, imposes a hermeneutic analysis of the contours of the authentic situation of the Moroccan woman in the past and in the present. This approach will try, at first, to bring to light, the literary imagination which employs the theme of the fantasy of declination, the exasperated eroticism and the sensual delectation that is unbridled in the core of the narrative structure of the Moroccan author's oeuvres. The analytical study of the feminine figures as presented in the selected novels of this research, will substantiate an exhibition of a stereotypical feminine model. As a matter of fact, this will highlights the persuasion that Tahar Ben Jelloun, who is considered as a francophone author and francophile par excellence, has got a conflictual relationship with some features of the Moroccan culture. This attempt will reveal, at last, the use of a kind of a linguistic nomadism which combines exoticism, oral character and French language in a recycling process of constant and permanent reproducibility.

Raconter le haschich dans l’époque mamelouke : étude et édition critique partielle de la Rāḥat al-arwāḥ fī l-ḥašīš wa-l-rāḥ de Badr al-Dīn Abū l-Tuqā al-Badrī (847-894/1443-1489) / Stories of hashish eaters in the Mamlūk period : a study and a partial critical edition of the Rāḥat al-arwāḥ fī l-ḥašīš wa-l-rāḥ of Badr al-Dīn Abū l-Tuqā al-Badrī (847-894/1443-1489)Marino, Danilo 29 May 2015 (has links)
Dans cette étude nous cherchons à explorer le lien entre haschich et humour par l'analyse du corpus des récits arabes contenus dans la Rāḥat al-arwāḥ fī l-ḥašīš wa-l-rāḥ (“Le repos des âmes dans le haschich et le vin”) de Badr al-Dīn Abū l-Tuqā al-Badrī (847-894/1443-1489). L'originalité de cette anthologie qui existe en quatre manuscrits dont seulement deux étaient connus à la critique, découle du fait qu'elle est le plus ancien recueil en langue arabe de textes en prose et en vers inspirés du haschich. Dans la première partie, nous abordons le haschich d'un point de vue historique, médicale et juridico-religieux. Longtemps utilisé en médicine et pour la fabrication de cordes et tissus, on ignore quand le cannabis (qinnab) est passé de médicament à substance enivrante et récréative. Cependant l’utilisation de cette herbe était devenue un problème social, si entre le VIIe/XIIIe et le VIIIe/XIVe siècle plusieurs oulémas y consacrèrent des écrits, tant qu'ils l'incluront dans la liste des munkarāt, (les choses blâmables, défendues), à côté du vin (ḫamr), de la fornication (zinā) et de l’homosexualité (liwāṭ). Parallèlement, la littérature n’a pas manqué de représenter l’expérience de psychotropes. Et c'est autour des enjeux littéraires soulevés par cette substance que nous centrons la deuxième partie de notre travail. Par l'étude d'un certain nombre de motifs nous montrons que le personnage du ḥaššāš fonctionne comme un «catalyseur thématique» des motifs littéraires auparavant associés aux ivrognes, aux stupides ou aux fous. L’ordre que nous avons suivi est: la méprise, la stupidité et folie, le rapport au rêve et à l’imaginaire et l'avidité. Nous concluons sur le fait que le passage à la littérature du motif du mangeur de haschich représente le processus de cristallisation d’une figure narrative à potentiel fortement humoristique, née dans la première époque post-abbasside et dérivée d’une série de matériaux narratifs attribués auparavant à d’autres figures littéraires. / In this study we explore the link between hashish and humor through the analysis of Arabic stories contained in the Rāḥat al-arwāḥ fī l-ḥašīš wa-l-rāḥ (“The delight of the souls on hashish and wine”), written by Badr al-Dīn Abū l-Tuqā al-Badrī (847-894/1443-1489), that exists in four manuscripts of which only two were known until now. This work, of which no complete edition has been established yet, seems to be the oldest and most comprehensive Arabic anthology containing poetry and anecdotes inspired by hashish. In the first part we discuss hashish from a historical, medical, legal and religious perspective. Early on, hashish was used in medical treatments and for the manufacture of ropes and fabrics but it is not clear when cannabis (qinnab) has changed from a remedy into an intoxicating and a recreational substance. However, the use of this herb had become a social problem, since between the VIIth/XIIIth and the VIIIth/XIVth centuries several ʿulamā’ wrote about it and the consumption of hashish was considered among the munkarāt (forbidden or reprehensible actions), as well as wine (ḫamr), fornication (zinā) and homosexuality (liwāṭ). Literature quickly represented the psychotropic experiences. Thus the aesthetics of hashish consumption is the main issue of the second part of our study. There, we focus on some comic motifs that appear in a number of anecdotes and we prove that the ḥaššāš character acts as a «thematic catalyst» of literary motifs which were associated in classical Arabic literature with drunkenness, insanity and foolishness. Thus, the order of our presentation is: the mistake; hashish, insanity and foolishness; dream and imagination and finally food and avidity. We infer from this, that the hashish eater as literary motif represents the process of crystallization of a humorous narrative character that took shape during the first part of the post-abbasid period and developed from a series of narrative materials earlier attributed to other literary figures.

Identifying the Classical Theologia Crucis and in this Light Karl Barth's Modern Theology of the CrossBradbury, Rosalene Clare January 2009 (has links)
This dissertation is presented in two parts. It first identifies the shape and content of an ancient system of Christian thought predicated on the theology of the cross of Jesus Christ, and proposes the marks typifying its theologians. Over against the ensuing hermeneutic it next finds the project of twentieth century Swiss theologian Karl Barth to exhibit many of the defining characteristics of this system, and Barth himself to be fairly deemed a modern theologian of the cross. He crucially recovers, reshapes and reasserts the classical theologia crucis as a modern theological instrument, one answering enlightened theology’s self-glorifying accommodation to modernity with the living Word of the cross. The crucicentric system itself is found to comprise two major theological dimensions, epistemological and soteriological. Each of these comprises dialectically corresponding aspects connected with false and true creaturely glory. The cruciform Word (or theology) speaking through this system likewise moves in two directions. It declares negatively that any attempt by the creature to circumvent the cross so as to know about God directly, or to condition God's electing decision, is necessarily the attempt to know and act as God alone may know and act - an attempt therefore on the glory of God. It declares positively that in the crucified Christ God formally discloses the knowledge of God, and determines the creature for God. This knowledge and election are appropriated to the creature as, drawn into the cruciform environment, its attempt to glorify itself is negated and Christ's exalted humanity received in exchange. Thence it is lifted to participate in Christ's mind and in his glory, a process guided by the Holy Spirit and completed eschatologically. The database for this research includes selected primary materials in the Apostle Paul, Athanasius, a group of medieval mystical theologians, the reformer Martin Luther - particularly here his Heidelberg Disputation, and Karl Barth. It also pays attention to the recent secondary literature peripherally or more concertedly connecting itself to the theology of the cross, of whatever period. In this literature numerous suggestions for the content of the theology of the cross exist, a major methodological task in the current research being to bring these together systematically. To the extent that the inner structure of the system carrying the cruciform Word has not previously been made explicit, and Barth's crucicentric status not finally determined, in moving towards these achievements this dissertation breaks fresh ground. In the process a new test by which to decide the crucicentric status of any theological project is developed, and a further and crucicentric way of reading Barth proposed. / This dissertation identifies the shape, content, and marks of the theology of the cross, an ancient and still extant epistemological and soteriological system of Christian thought. Applying the resulting hermeneutic it then shows this system to be present with renewed vitality and future significance in the modern project of seminal Swiss theologian Karl Barth (1886-1968).
