While prophetic charism, a developer of unjust power relations, glossolalia is searched, taking as a tool to interpret those that are proper and related to the exegesis of the concepts of religious studies at the prospect of conflictual analysis. This study is divided into three chapters. At first, it held a bibliography on the topic and presents the basic concepts (symbol, charisma, prophet, conflictual analysis, local social) by which the object of research will be analyzed. On the second chapter has the exegetical analysis of the proposed text to search, giving emphasis to the historical context from which it emerges, the grammatical structures in which it was formatted and the possible interpretations to the glossolalic question. In this chapter, is the conflictual model of analysis of Christian sacred texts, with its emphasis on local social and historic-critical method, which guide this research on power relations in the church at Corinth. The third chapter examines how the glossolalia was elevated to the status symbol of spirituality among the Corinthians, that the deleterious effects of this feature of community life and thought and positioning of the Apostle Paul, before the conflictual situation. Research will define the ideas by which a freeing reading can be presented to readers of this dissertation. Finally, in conclusion, it is the opinion that relates to the phenomenon glossolalic into ideological structure of power and its implications for the current religious situation charismatic. / Esta pesquisa investiga 1 Coríntios, tendo como elemento focal para análise o fenômeno denominado glossolalia, tratado nos capítulos 12, 13 e 14 da referida Epístola. Enquanto carisma profético, fomentador de relações injustas de poder, a glossolalia será pesquisada tendo-se como ferramenta de interpretação aquelas que são próprias da exegese e relacionadas com os conceitos das Ciências da Religião, sob o prisma da análise conflitual. Este estudo divide-se em três capítulos. No primeiro, faz-se um levantamento bibliográfico sobre a temática e são apresentados os conceitos basilares (símbolo, carisma, profeta, análise conflitual, local social) através dos quais o objeto de pesquisa será analisado. No segundo capítulo, tem-se a análise exegética do texto proposto para pesquisa, dando-se destaque ao contexto histórico do qual ele emerge, as estruturas gramaticais nas quais ele foi formatado e as interpretações possíveis para a questão glossolálica. Neste capítulo, é o modelo conflitual de análise dos textos sagrados cristãos, com sua ênfase no local social e o método histórico crítico, que norteiam esta pesquisa sobre as relações de poder na igreja de Corinto. O terceiro capítulo estuda como a glossolalia foi elevada a símbolo de status de espiritualidade entre os coríntios, quais as conseqüências deletérias desta ação para a vida comunitária e o pensamento e o posicionamento do apóstolo Paulo diante desta situação conflitual. Procurar-se-á delinear as ideias pelas quais uma leitura libertadora possa ser apresentada aos leitores desta dissertação. Por fim, na conclusão, há o parecer que relaciona o fenômeno glossolálico à estrutura ideológica de poder e suas implicações para a atual conjuntura religiosa carismática.

This study analyses the social function of glossolalia in the narrative world of the book of Acts. In so doing, it addresses the lack of scholarship related to treating glossolalic references from social scientific perspectives. Particularly noted is the absence in the literature of adequate treatments of the Ephesian disciples pericope in Acts 18:24–19:7, which this study seeks to correct. Through application of Berger and Luckmann’s sociology of knowledge models, this study argues that reading Luke-Acts as the author’s legitimation of the Jesus movement’s social world is a valid, even preferred reading of the literature. Tracing the development of Luke’s legitimation conceptual machinery reveals the social conflict background that to a large degree motivated its writing and organized its content. The purity-related conflicts between circumcision loyalists and Jesus followers from the Gentile world that dominate the second half of Acts is of particular interest to this research. This study demonstrates how Luke uses glossolalia as a divinely initiated marker of Gentile purity status to legitimate new social boundaries that supersede circumcision. These new social boundaries, marked by glossolalia, represent an integral component of the Jesus movement’s revised purity map, relative to temple-centred Yahwism. The legitimation reading, including Luke’s construction and validation of the Jesus group’s symbolic universe and its conclusions regarding the social function of glossolalia, is applied to the Ephesian disciples pericope. This study argues that the events narrated in this passage represent a continuing social conflict between circumcision loyalists and Gentile converts. Luke narrates the events in Acts 18:24–19:7 in order to correct a deviant baptism teaching (John’s baptism) that was propagated with the intent, based on purity concerns and prejudice, to marginalize Gentiles from full social integration into the Jesus community. Demonstrating that glossolalia functions as a social boundary marker that supersedes circumcision and that this best informs our interpretation of the Ephesian disciples pericope fully integrates this narrative event into Luke’s literary programme. / New Testament / D. Th. (New Testament)

The aim is to clarify its importance as an inaugural phenomenon that occurred during the feast of Pentecost in the city of Jerusalem (1 d.C); also to show its role in the dissemination of Christianity worldwide; and finally, inform that this dissemination was only possible because the glossollaly and communication are institutions which maintained a relationship of interdependence and complements between themselves. / Este trabalho é uma dissertação sobre a Glossolalia, acontecida como descrita na Bíblia cristã, especialmente no livro de Atos dos Apóstolos, conhecido como o falar em línguas , e tem, como foco, o fenômeno em si nas suas relações com a comunicação e, em especial, com a comunicação cristã. Busca esclarecer sua importância como fenômeno inaugural da igreja, ocorrido durante a festa de Pentecostes na cidade Jerusalém (séc. I d. C.); pretende também mostrar seu papel na difusão do Cristianismo mundo afora; e, finalmente, informar que essa difusão só foi possível porque a glossolalia e a comunicação são fenômenos que mantêm uma relação de interdependência e complementaridade entre si.

Embodying Christ: Meaning and Significance of the Ritual in 1Cor 12-14 This work understands 1Cor 12-14 as a text concerned with early Christian ritual and addresses the question: What does the text of 1Cor 12-14 reveal about the symbolic universe and social implications of this ritual? Early Christian meetings are understood as a complex ritual which has meaning and significance that could be interpreted on the basis of exegeting 1Cor 12-14. Meaning denotes the worldview communicated through it, significance denotes the influence of the ritual on the lives of the believers and their community. As its meaning, three metaphors appear out of the exegesis: a temple in construction, Christ's body with many members, and an image of the Spirit working in believers. These images are being played out, strengthened, and embodied in the ritual action. Apart from communicating the worldview and corresponding values, the significance of the ritual lies in that it creates a space of liminal freedom. Charismata are a dynamic reality and are not bound to particular persons. That is true especially in the case of prophesying and speaking in tongues, which based on analysis of the primary sources are in this work understood as speaking in an inspired state by a person who is being filled with the Spirit.

[pt] Esta pesquisa analisa o falar em línguas de Marcos 16,15-18 e o processo diacrônico de evolução teológica sobre o falar em línguas nas literaturas canônicas, onde, o falar em línguas: 1. Num primeiro momento seria uma experiência livre e comunitária de glossolalia; 2. Foi normatizado por Paulo em 1Coríntios, mas, mantendo suas características de glossolalia; 3. Teologizado nos Atos dos Apóstolos sendo vinculado a expansão do Evangelho, porém, sendo vivenciado ora pelos evangelizadores (At 2 igual xenoglossia), ora pelos evangelizados (At 10 e 19 igual glossolalia); 4. Para, enfim, ser pensado teologicamente como um sinal que acompanha os missionários itinerantes na evangelização (Mc 16,15-18). Entender a diacronia do falar em línguas é importante para que se dialogue melhor com esta última proposta teológica que será recepcionada pela tradição da Igreja, e servirá de filtro de leitura e formação de pensamento teológico sobre o falar em línguas para aqueles que lerem ou ouvirem a narrativa sincrônica passando pela alocação canônica do Evangelho de Marcos (promessa de Jesus), Atos dos Apóstolos (início da Igreja) e a Primeira Carta de Paulo aos Coríntios (desdobramento eclesiástico). / [en] This research analyzes the speaking in tongues in Mark 16.15 to 18 and the diachronic process of theological evolution of speaking in tongues in the canonical literature, where speaking in tongues: 1. Initially would be a free and community experience of glossolalia ; 2. It was standardized by Paul in 1 Corinthians, but keeping their glossolalia characteristics; 3. theologized in Acts being linked to spread of the Gospel, however, being experienced now by evangelizing (Acts 2 equal xenoglossy), then by evangelized (Acts 10:19 equal glossolalia); 4. To finally be thouth theologically as a sign that accompanies the itinerant missionaries in evangelization (Mark 16.15 to 18). Understand the diachronic of speaking in tongues is important to improve the dialogue between this last theological proposal received by the Church s tradition, and will serve as a reading filter and theological thought of training on speaking in tongues for those who read or hear the synchronic narrative through the allocation of the canonical Gospel of Mark (promise of Jesus), Acts of the Apostles (early Church) and the First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians (ecclesiastical explanation).

O movimento cristão emergiu como uma seita judaica, mas amadureceu em um contexto greco-romano, sendo profundamente alterado pela cultura e tradições ocidentais. Por um lado, sofreu as influências das tradições israelitas antigas e do Judaísmo do período do Segundo Templo, sendo herdeiro tanto das diversas manifestações revelatórias extáticas, apocalípticas, escatológicas e sapienciais, quanto da inteligibilidade e da autoridade como critérios de verificação da profecia. Por outro, sofreu as influências das tradições greco-romanas, embora em menor grau, visto que, no que diz respeito ao conceito e à atuação do profeta e à função social da profecia, há diferenças fundamentais em relação ao mundo helenístico. Tais divergências explicam, em parte, o conflito entre a compreensão de Paulo acerca da profecia e da glossolalia e a compreensão de certos grupos dentro da comunidade de Corinto que acentuavam a importância do êxtase como manifestação revelatória e, conseqüentemente, de um status privilegiado. De acordo com 1Cor 14,1-19, o critério distintivo para Paulo é a edificação da assembléia . Não se trata propriamente da superioridade de um dom sobre o outro, mas da sua utilidade no contexto cúltico. Quem fala em línguas ora a Deus e edifica a si mesmo, mas aquele que profetiza edifica, exorta e consola a assembléia. Neste sentido, é preferível profetizar a falar em línguas, a menos que sejam interpretadas. Do ponto de vista da Antropologia, a glossolalia é considerada, segundo alguns pesquisadores, um substrato de um estado alterado de consciência, observado principalmente nas mulheres, o que sugere uma presença significativa das mesmas na composição da comunidade de Corinto, inclusive nas posições de liderança. Do ponto de vista dos estudos sociológicos, os fenômenos extáticos manifestam-se sobretudo em grupos marginalizados, dotando-os de um poder místico que os fortalece em períodos de acentuada dilaceração do tecido social.(AU)

Dans nombre de ses œuvres, Antonin Artaud n’a eu de cesse de formuler les termes de ce que serait une poésie anarchique, une forme langagière qui permettrait d’abolir la distance entre les mots et les choses, et à laquelle sa poésie aspire sans toutefois parvenir à une telle réalisation. Devant le constat que l’anarchie décrite par Artaud ne peut rendre compte de ce qui se réalise véritablement dans son écriture, ce mémoire pose les questions suivantes : que fait donc la poésie d’Artaud? Existe-t-il une figure qui est à même de rendre compte des modalités d’écriture qui sont à l’œuvre dans les différents textes du poète français? À ces interrogations, la figure du hors-la-loi m’est apparue des plus pertinentes dans la mesure où elle offrait tout un espace à la réflexion et à la conceptualisation. À partir de cette figure, ce mémoire formule donc l’hypothèse que ce qui se joue dans la textualité d’Antonin Artaud est une poétique hors-la-Loi, c’est-à-dire une manière de subvertir, par l’usage de différents procédés littéraires, la Loi. En d’autres termes, la poétique hors-la-Loi produit des effets de dissonance au sein du Symbolique. Pour consolider cette hypothèse, je propose deux axes de réflexion étayés à partir de l’analyse des procédés d’écriture traductologique et glossolalique d’Artaud. Dans un premier temps, la subversion est entrevue à partir des notions d’espace et de territoire. Par la suite, j’étudie la subversion dans son rapport à la temporalité. / In a number of his writings, Antonin Artaud formulated, repeatedly, the terms of what might be considered an anarchic poetry, a form of language that would allow the abolition of distance between words and things, which is what he ultimately hopes to achieve through his writings. However, Artaud was never able to achieve this sense of literary anarchy. Therefore, since the concept of anarchy put forth by Artaud cannot fully explain what is really at work in his writings, this thesis raises the following questions: What does Artaud’s poetry ultimately achieve? Is there a figure which can illustrate the writing modalities at work in the French poet’s various texts? The figure of the outlaw is relevant in this case because it opens up the realm of reflection and conceptualisation. With the figure of the outlaw as the main starting point, this thesis formulates the hypothesis that what is played out in Antonin Artaud’s textuality is an outlaw poetic – a subversion of the Law through the use of different literary devices. In other terms, the outlaw poetic produces dissonant effects within the Symbolic. In order to reinforce this hypothesis, I shall work on two different axes of reflection which were brought forth through the analysis of Artaud’s traductologic and glossolalic literary devices. Subversion will first be seen through the notions of space and territory, and it will then be studied in its relation to temporality.

The PhD thesis "Constructed Languages in Literature" focuses on the phenomenon of consciously designed or drafted languages and their usage in literary texts. The first chapter of the thesis offers reflections on the delimitation of constructed languages, especially from the perspective of the mostly illusory opposition of natural and constructed. It also puts forth the problems of glossolalia and encryption or encoding of a text in a natural language, while suggesting these two ways to create a new utterance should be perceived as possible starting points for language creativity, rather than a completely different phenomenon. The subsequent chapters then turn to individual cases and introduce extensive groups of constructed and virtual languages - animal languages, utopian and dystopian languages, sacred and divine languages and constructed and virtual languages in poetry. In those chapters examples of both elaborated and drafted languages appear, so that the imagination characteristic of each group comes out.

This dissertation is an analysis of differing Pentecostal experiences in Apostolic Faith Mission from its inception, with specific reference to the AFM of South Africa and AFM in Zimbabwe.The study examines: The brief history of the AFM. This begins with the Azusa Street Revival in Los Angels. Pentecostalism then spread to South Africa through John G. Lake with the founding of AFM of South Africa. AFM filtered into Zimbabwe where it faced stiff resistance from government authorities and established mainline churches. Theologies and spiritual gifts which make Pentecostalism different from other faiths. Main doctrines and tenets of faith discernible from the brief historical outline. A general outline of phases in Pentecostalism. An attempt will be made to determine whether these phases are applicable to AFM. This dissertation is a contribution towards reconciling diverging views concerning Pentecostalism in the AFM because various congregations of the same denomination behave and believe differently. / Systematic Theology & Theological Ethics / M.Th.
