Paradoxos da modernidade : a crença em bruxas e bruxarias em Porto Alegre

Araújo, Susana de Azevedo January 2007 (has links)
O presente estudo consiste numa análise etnográfica e comparativa entre os sistemas de crenças e práticas da bruxaria tradicional e moderna existentes em Porto Alegre, no Rio Grande do Sul, a primeira sendo restrita aos habitantes da Ilha da Pintada e a segunda transitando, sobretudo entre jovens das camadas médias da cidade. Aparentemente, a bruxaria tradicional vinculada às práticas do catolicismo popular tradicional é o oposto da bruxaria moderna ou neopagã. Ao invés de um Deus transcendente, a última cultua uma Deusa imanente, que está presente em todos os seres da natureza. Além disso, as bruxas modernas de Porto Alegre dizem trabalhar somente “para o bem”, enquanto as bruxas tradicionais da Ilha da Pintada estariam ligadas a práticas de malefícios e mesmo ao embruxamento de crianças. Porém, as correspondências começam a existir quando observamos uma outra personagem das narrativas de bruxas e bruxarias na Ilha, ou seja, as benzedeiras. Elas são as praticantes da “boa magia”, agindo no combate às ações de bruxaria, na comunidade. Benzedeiras e bruxas modernas valem-se de um mesmo símbolo de proteção, o pentagrama ou Símbolo de Salomão. A partir desta primeira analogia, outras serão observadas ao contrastarmos esses dois universos simbólicos. / The present study consists of an ethnographic and comparative analysis between the systems of faiths and practices of the traditional and modern witchcraft in Porto Alegre (Rio Grande do Sul); the first one concerning exclusively the inhabitants of the Island of Pintada and the second one, mainly young people of the middle class of the city. Apparently, traditional witchcraft related to the practices of popular traditional Catholicism is the opposite of the modern witchcraft or neo-pagan. Instead of a transcendent God, modern witchcraft worships an immanent Goddess, who is present in all beings of the nature. Besides, modern witches from Porto Alegre state they “work only for the good”, while the traditional witches of the Island of Pintada would be linked to practices of harms and even to children's bewitchment. However, similarities begin to exist when we observe another character of the witches' narratives and witchcrafts in the Island, in other words, the benzedeiras (faith healers). They practice “good magic”, acting against the witchcraft actions in the community. Benzedeiras and modern witches use the same protection symbol, the pentagram or Solomon Seal. Starting from this first analogy, we will observe many others as we contrast these two symbolic universes.

Feminism and Witchcraft on Reddit : a Mixed Methods Analysis of r/WitchesVsPatriarchy

Winqvist, Camilla January 2023 (has links)
The present study examines r/WitchesVsPatriarchy, a subreddit hosted on the popular social media platform Reddit, which centres around the themes of women and witchcraft. This thesis employs a mixed methods approach to investigate various aspects of the subreddit. A critical discourse analysis is conducted in conjunction with a netnographic study. Content that is being analysed consists of a forum thread where users get to describe what witchcraft means to them, an introductory post written by the moderators of the subreddit, as well as content posted to the site by other members. The content that was posted was sorted into five different categories: uplifting content, crafts and marketplace, memes and humour, political content, and magic and rituals. The analysis concludes that the r/WitchesVsPatriarchy community exhibits a distinct feminist undertone, specifically embracing the principles of fourth wave feminism. Furthermore, it also reveals characteristics associated with subcultures.  The role of witchcraft is analysed and what way the users engage with it. Within this context, witchcraft is predominantly perceived as a tool for self-care and empowerment, rather than being strictly associated with religious or magical beliefs. Notably, the majority of users express scepticism regarding the magical aspects of witchcraft. Instead, witchcraft is seen as a tool used for empowerment and even as a symbol for feminism.  Regarding subculture theory, the community can be seen as a part of a larger subculture where members use witchcraft for non-religious reasons. Various forms of aspects relating to subculture theory, such as shared identities, sacred objects, resistance, and marginalization.  The thesis contends that this witchcraft community inherently encompasses a feminist dimension, whereby users harness feminist and political connections with witchcraft to empower both themselves and the broader community. Keywords: modern witchcraft, witchcraft communities, Reddit, fourth wave feminism

Há bruxas na cidade: a Wicca a partir da representação da UWB

No. of bitstreams: 1 dartagnanabdiassilva.pdf: 4505385 bytes, checksum: 6fcd6fd053771b01e7f44fbe614bf30e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-03-24 / CNPq - Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / Criada no século XX, a Wicca pode ser enquadrada compondo o espectro da chamada Nova Era. Caracteriza-se por ser uma religião autonômica, ecológica e de privatização religiosa. Herda dessa constituição um processo de reencantamento do mundo e, ambiguamente, de manutenção do mundo secularizado em que vivemos. Da mesma forma, em sua formação atual, ela pode ser considerada, simultaneamente, um processo de communitas, enquanto também se articula a partir de comunidades emocionais. Esses dois conceitos, aparentemente distintos – um vindo de Victor Turner, o outro de Danièle Hervieu-Léger –, parecem se entrelaçar, quando analisamos a dinâmica desse campo: em sua estrutura ritualística e religiosa/social. Compondo a ambientalização moderna dessa religião essa dinâmica constante provoca tensões e porosidades no campo. O primeiro descreve com exatidão o processo da traçagem do Círculo Mágico e o segundo se dirige aos seus covens. Desse modo, o presente trabalho propõe algumas reflexões a respeito da realidade wiccana encontrada na cidade do Rio de Janeiro (RJ). Buscase compreender, portanto, a pergunta “quem são os bruxos modernos?”. A resposta a essa pergunta nos leva à compreensão crescente e profunda desse tema tão recente e tão vasto de pesquisa. / Created in the 20th century, Wicca can be framed composing the New Age spectrum. It is characterised for being an autonomic and ecologic religion and also for religious privatization. For its constitution, it inherits a process of re-enchantment of the world and, ambiguously, of maintenance of the secularised world that we live in. In the same way, in its current formation, it can be considered, simultaneously, a process of communitas, as it comes from emotional communities. These two concepts, aparently distinct one from another – the first coming from Victor Turner, and the other from Danièle Hervieu-Léger –, seem to interweave when we analyse the dynamics of this field: in its ritualistic and religious/social structure. Composing the modern environmentalization of this religion, the constant dynamics causes tensions and porosity in the area. The first describes with exactitude the drawing process of the Magic Circle; the second heads to its covens. Therefore, the present work proposes some reflexions concearning the Wicca reality found in the city of Rio de Janeiro (RJ). Thus, it is an attempt to comprehend the following question: “Who are the modern witches [Wiccans]?” The answer to this question lead us to the crescent and deep comprehension of this very recent and wide topic.
