Through the studies proposed by Mircea Eliade (2000, 2000a, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013) and the research conducted by the Bakhtin Circle (1975,1981,1997,2003, 2009), we see how the myth made up by language, creates realities and projects the reader for a supersensible plan. One of the main points of Eliade's studies is to question how the myth or mythical resonances interpose in the lives of human beings in their daily lives, and the religious phenomenon, in the author's opinion, is realized through images and symbols in a mythical context, for a specific type of language because religious symbolism refers to the deeper aspects of life and experience of human being in relation to the world. In our research, we notice that the Colonial Brazil is described mainly as a majestic spatiality; the jesuit creates, as an accomplished painter, a splendid environment and evokes the beauty of nature. Finally, we find that the myth is a way of being of language covering senses regulatory processes; these are related to subjects historically situated in places and different times in relation or not to the same enterprise enunciation. Thence, it follows that the christian jewish myth, seen as an ideological sign, is filled with meaning and purpose, it can be the representation, the ordering and systematization of historical and material relations of a given society / Este trabalho estuda o mito judaico cristão como elemento discursivo que confere significado e valor às cartas do jesuíta Fernão Cardim. Por meio dos estudos propostos por Mircea Eliade (2000, 2000a, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013) e pelas pesquisas realizadas pelo Círculo Bakhtiniano (1975,1981,1997,2003, 2009), observamos como o mito, constituído pela linguagem, cria realidades e projeta o leitor para um plano suprassensível. Um dos pontos principais dos estudos de Eliade é questionar como o mito ou ressonâncias míticas interferem na vida do ser humano em seu cotidiano, sendo que o fenômeno religioso, na opinião do autor, se concretiza por meio de imagens e símbolos em um contexto mítico, por um tipo específico de linguagem, pois o simbolismo religioso refere-se aos aspectos mais profundos da vida e da experiência do ser em relação ao mundo. Em nossa pesquisa, observamos que o Brasil Colônia é figurativizado, sobretudo, como uma espacialidade majestosa; o jesuíta cria, como um exímio pintor, uma ambiência voltada para o grandioso e evoca a beleza da natureza. Por fim, constatamos que o mito é um modo de ser da linguagem que abrange processos de regulação de sentidos; estes estão relacionados a sujeitos historicamente situados em lugares e momentos distintos em relação ou não a um mesmo empreendimento enunciativo. Daí, em-se que o mito judaico cristão, visto como um signo ideológico, é preenchido de sentido e finalidade, podendo ser a representação, a ordenação e a sistematização das relações histórico-materiais de uma dada sociedade

Though born a century apart, American poets Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath share several similarities: Both were born in New England, both fought for their rights by writing, and both broke new poetic ground.          In this thesis, I look at their poetry through a movement in space, which begins with the poets’ precarious position as societal outliers and ends with ascension. I examine what crossing the threshold meant to them, physically and metaphorically, and how it is mirrored in their poems, I look at how the physical space in which they wrote color their poetry, I examine windows as a space of transit, and finally I take a closer look at the shape ascension takes in selected poems. I propose this road, this movement in space, is mirrored in both Dickinson’s and Plath’s poetry.      I use as my method deconstruction, to uncover hints and possibilities. I scan letters and journals, biographies and memoirs. As my theoretical framework, I use Walter Benjamin’s ideas about the threshold as a place of transit, as well as his thoughts about the flaneur as the observer of the crowd, both of which are presented in The Arcades Project. To further examine the threshold as a space for pause, reconsideration, retreat, or advance, I rely on Subha Mukheriji and her book Thinking on Thresholds: The Poetics of Transitive Spaces. I further use Gaston Bachelard’s seminal The Poetics of Spaceto investigate the poets’ response to the physical space in which they wrote. I look at ascension through the prism offered by the ideas of Mircea Eliade as presented in Myths, Dreams, and Mysteries: The Encounter Between Contemporary Faiths and Archaic Realities.

These fields encircle painting, sculpture and, in addition, furniture and special pieces designed for the indoor spaces. More specifically, this essay also builts and reports its reflections based on the contemporary christian artwork and architectural spaces, produced and projected by artist and vernacular architect Claudio Pastro. The analysis in this essay approaches Pastro's biography through his unique process of working and criating, as a painter, pictorial artist, architect and sacred art expert. The second chapter explores Pastro's conceptions between sacred art and religious art, which are indeed different: each conception is clearly refeared, explained, discussed, compared to the other ones, and looked over through the eyes of Mircea Eliade's and Rudolf Otto's fenomenology. Still in the field of the Teology of the Art, the thinking of Romano Guardini about the sacred and the religious is also shown. In the third chapter we have a timeline brief of the history of art and sacred architecture, the bases of Pastro's work; then, a comparative study between his conception about the modern project related to the architecture and the vanguard arts. We also comment some brazilian architects projects, wich he admire and influenced him. Furthermore we comment the II Council of the Vatican and its propositions of liturgical renewal, wich led to the renew of sacred architeture and art, home of Pastro's realm of inspiration and concepts. We end with the analysis and critical reviewing of nine of his chapels and churches already built. In the conclusion, we comment the repercussion of Claudio Pastro's works, and the importance of his figure within the brazilian artistic and architectural panorama, as well as the concerns and limits of his concepts. Alongside with these questions, we leave to open minds some other further questions to be treated, about the relationships between art and religion, and art and the sacred. / Este trabalho em ciências da religião trata de arte e arquitetura, num campo especializado de ambas, que é a construção de espaços religiosos e a arte que nele se insere, abrangendo pintura, escultura, e o design de peças e mobiliário de seu interior. Mais especificamente estaremos tratando de arte e arquitetura sacras cristãs, contemporâneas, através da obra do artista sacro e arquiteto vernacular Claudio Pastro. A análise se inicia através de sua biografia e desenvolvimento de processo de trabalho, como artista plástico, gráfico, arquiteto vernacular e estudioso de arte sacra e espaço litúrgico. A seguir suas concepções, que colocam uma diferenciação entre arte sacra e arte religiosa, serão explicadas e discutidas, observadas através da fenomenologia de Mircea Eliade e Rudolf Otto. No âmbito da Teologia da Arte também exporemos o pensamento de Romano Guardini, citado como fonte dos conceitos de Claudio Pastro sobre sagrado e religioso. No terceiro capítulo fazemos um breve histórico da história da arte e arquitetura sacras, sobre o qual se apoia seu trabalho, acrescido de um estudo comparativo de sua concepção de arquitetura em relação ao projeto moderno , e com as vanguardas artísticas em artes plásticas. Comentamos também alguns projetos de arquitetos brasileiros que o influenciaram e que admira. De dentro da Igreja trataremos do Concílio Vaticano II e suas propostas de renovação litúrgica, que implicaram em renovações na arte e arquitetura sacras, a qual se filia Claudio Pastro. Encerramos com a análise e crítica de nove projetos de capelas e igrejas por ele realizados. Na conclusão situamos a repercussão de seus trabalhos e seu papel dentro da arte e arquitetura sacras católicas brasileiras, na prática, assim como a pertinência e limites de suas concepções e conceitos. No questionamento destes conceitos e concepções situamos questões em aberto, pertinentes à relação entre arte e religião, arte e o sagrado.

The purpose of this essay has been to relate the Australian Aboriginal conceptions of place to three different theoretical perspectives on place, to find what is relevant in the Aboriginal context, and what is not. The aim has been to find the most useful theoretical approaches for further studies on the Australian Aboriginal conceptions of place. The investigation is a rendering of research and writings on Australian Aboriginal religion, a recording of general views on research on religion and space, a recounting of written material of three theoretical standpoints on place (the Insider standpoint, the Outsider Standpoint and the Meshwork standpoint), and a comparison of the research on the Aboriginal religion to the three different standpoints.  The results show that no single standpoint is gratifying for studies of the Aboriginal conceptions of place, but all three standpoints contribute in different ways. There are aspects from all three standpoints revealing the importance of place to the Aboriginal peoples.  The most useful theoretical approaches for studies on the Australian Aboriginal conceptions of place are: Place as a living entity, an ancestor and an extension of itself; place as movement, transformation and continuity; place as connection, existential orientation and the paramount focus, and; place as the very foundation of the entire religion.
