No. of bitstreams: 1 giseleoliveirasantospires.pdf: 612429 bytes, checksum: 645905e744fd2a58ac4b8da2c3ffe2b2 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-07-20 / Introdução - A esteira é um instrumento apropriado para fornecer uma tarefa de desempenho padronizado e confiável. Embora por tempos, as esteiras tenham sido usadas, principalmente, para pesquisas, atualmente são muito comuns em academias de ginástica e vêm, ao longo do tempo, ganhando popularidade no treinamento de resistência. A distância percorrida por cada passo durante a caminhada ou corrida é chamada amplitude de passos e o número de passos dados em um determinado período é a frequência. Desse modo, a velocidade é determinada pelo produto da frequência pela amplitude de passos. A cinemática é uma área da biomecânica que permite o cálculo da posição, do deslocamento, da velocidade e da aceleração do corpo ou de seus segmentos, tendo como principal foco a descrição de como um corpo se move. Os parâmetros cinemáticos para análise da velocidade da corrida incluem o comprimento e a frequência do passo e da passada, bem como todas as variáveis espaço-temporais derivadas dessas. Não são recentes as investigações que pretendem tecer um paralelo entre deslocamento em piso fixo e esteira, porém seus resultados são inconsistentes. Esta inconsistência parece estar relacionada com as diferenças metodológicas, na aptidão física dos voluntários, velocidades estabelecidas nos protocolos de teste e com os métodos para determinar essas velocidades de corrida em cada estudo. Objetivo – Analisar se as variáveis frequência e amplitude de passos comportam-se de maneira pariforme ao se comparar a corrida na pista com a corrida na esteira; havendo diferenças, verificar se essas seriam imutáveis ou se o indivíduo é capaz de escolher com que combinação de frequência e amplitude quer correr e, ainda, verificar se essas seriam aleatórias ou determinadas por alguma das variáveis que caracterizaram a amostra. Métodos - 22 corredores participaram do estudo, VO2max 59,8 ± 5,53; VMA 17,4 ± 1,59; idade 33,7 ± 10,84; estatura 1,76 ± 0,07; massa corporal 69,18 ± 9,31. Foram realizados 3 testes, teste máximo, na pista e na esteira, nessa ordem para todos os voluntários. Resultados - Para os percentuais 100 e 120 da VMA foram encontrados valores reduzidos de amplitude e aumentados de frequência na esteira em relação à pista. Ainda, podemos predizer que corredores bem treinados conseguem realizar corridas com menores diferenças entre esteira e pista, sobretudo a 120% da VMA. Conclusão - As variáveis frequência e amplitude de passos comportam-se de maneira pariforme ao se comparar a corrida na pista com a esteira nos percentuais 60 e 80 da VMA, para 100 e 120% a amplitude de passos é maior e a frequência menor na esteira em comparação ao solo para uma mesma velocidade. Essas diferenças não são imutáveis, os corredores são capazes de escolher com que combinação de amplitude e frequência de passos desejam correr. Ainda, as diferençaspodem ser determinadas, principalmente nos 120% da VMA, pelo nível de condicionamento dos corredores. / Introduction - A treadmill is an appropriate instrument to provide a standardized and reliable performance task. Although it had been used mostly for research, currently it has been widely used at gyms and has gained popularity at endurance training. The distance between strides during the walk or the run is called stride length, and the number of strides during a certain period of time is the frequency. This way, the speed is determined by stride length times stride frequency. The kinematics is a biomechanics subject that allows to measure the position, displacement, speed, and acceleration of the body or its segments. The kinematic major focus is to describe how the body moves. The kinematic parameters for speed analysis include stride and pace frequency and length as well as all space-time variables and all their variations. The researches which tried to draw a comparison between track and treadmill run are inconsistent nor even recent. This inconsistency seems to be related to the differences among methodology, endurance capacity of volunteers, speed at test protocols, and methods to estimate this speed in each study. Objective - To analyse if stride length and stride frequency behave similarly by comparing a track and a treadmill run. And if there are differences, the purpose is to check if they are unchangeable or if the subject is able to choose which frequency and amplitude they want to run and also to verify if they are randomized or pre-determinate by some peculiarity of the sample. Methods - 22 runners participated of this study with VO2max 59,8 ± 5,53, MAS 17,4 ± 1,59, age 33,7 ± 10,84, body mass 69,18 ± 9,31. Three tests were conducted in this order: maximal test, treadmill and track tests for all volunteers. Results - For a 100% and 120% MAS a decreased value of stride length and an increased value of stride frequency were found at treadmill compared to track. We believe runners prefer to run this way, because they run differently when they receive verbal stimulus to change the technique. We can also predict that well-trained runners manage to run at lower differences between treadmill and track, specially at 120 % of MAS. Conclusion - For stride length and stride frequency, no difference was found at 60% and 80% of MAS, but at 100% and 120%, stride length is higher and stride frequency lower at treadmill compared to track at same speed. These differences are not unchangeable; runners are capable of choosing which combination of stride length and stride frequency they prefer to run. Besides, the differences may be determined, mostly at 120% of MAS by the fitness level of the runners.

Modernização urbana e experimentação formal em Manhattan Transfer, de John dos Passos / Urban modernization and formal experimentation in Manhattan Transfer, by John Dos Passos

Bitencourt, Gabriela Siqueira 15 September 2017 (has links)
Esta tese procura compreender de que modo a elaboração modernista da colagem e da montagem no romance Manhattan Transfer, de John Dos Passos, expressa e ilumina processos sociais e políticos de seu tempo. Publicada em 1925, essa obra é a primeira a investigar as transformações pelas quais passava Nova York, desde a virada do século XX até o início dos anos 1920, por meio de uma experimentação formal então única na literatura dos Estados Unidos. Além disso, defende-se a especificidade do romance de 1925, o qual não seria apenas uma preparação para a trilogia U.S.A. (1930-1936), mas configuraria um retrato singular do espírito de sua época. A sua forma se revelaria, então, não ruptura, mas continuidade do projeto realista de interpretação da sociedade. Propõe-se igualmente desenvolver uma discussão sobre a complexa interação entre modernismo e cultura periférica no começo dos anos 1920, com base em certa tradição da crítica literária brasileira (da qual os grandes nomes são Antonio Candido e Roberto Schwarz) atenta às relações contraditórias entre o processo de modernização e a forma literária. Nesse sentido, busca-se entender de que maneira a cultura dessa ex-colônia refletiu, pela obra de Dos Passos, sobre a sua própria condição periférica no período em que os Estados Unidos cresciam como potência econômica e militar. Por fim, procura-se mostrar como Manhattan Transfer foi capaz de formular literariamente e tornar visíveis os nexos na época, nada evidentes entre a urbanização de Nova York, a industrialização, a guerra e as novas tendências imperialistas que começavam a despontar. / This thesis looks at how the modernist use of collage and montage in John Dos Passos Manhattan Transfer expresses and sheds light upon the social and political processes of its time. Published in 1925, the book is the first to investigate the transformations undergoing New York from the turn of the 20th Century to the beginning of the 1920s by means of a formal experimentation hitherto unique in the literature of the United States. Moreover, this thesis argues for the specificity of the 1925 novel, which should not simply be understood as groundwork for the U.S.A trilogy (1930-1926), but rather as a singular depiction of the spirit of its time. Its form, accordingly, would prove to be not a break, but rather an unfolding of the realist project of interpretation of society. The complex interaction between modernism and peripheral culture in the early 1920s is likewise addressed here through a discussion based on a certain tradition of Brazilian literary criticism (featuring, among its major authors, Antonio Candido and Roberto Schwarz) particularly attentive to the contradictory relations between the process of modernization and the shifts in literary form. In this regard, the analysis carried out seeks to grasp in what way the culture of this former colony reflected, though the work of Dos Passos, on its own peripheral condition during the period marked by the rise of the United States as an economic and military power. Lastly, this thesis aims to show how Manhattan Transfer was able to formulate literarily and render visible the links far from evident, at the time connecting the urbanization of New York, the process of industrialization and the new imperialist tendencies that were beginning to emerge.

No. of bitstreams: 1 RAFAEL LINO ROSA.pdf: 456495 bytes, checksum: 3f7bb44e27066c0e5e7ce35ffb6b90e5 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-08-31 / This research work consists in a Master s Degree Course dissertation that results from a research effort that lasted for two years, in what there was participation, obsrvation and a trial of comprehension of the object: the Irmandade do Senhor Bom Jesus dos Passos from Cidade de Goiás. This brotherhood has a cultural and creative action, that maintains the tradiont and renews its meaning. This brotherhood is one of the main factors that compounds the identity and subjectivity of the people from Cidade de Goiás. The brotherhood action is about the Quadragesima period, but stays in activity during all the Catholic Year. Its main activity are the festivities of Passos, that has its own structure, aesthetics, music and para-liturgy that focus on following Jesus steps suffering along the Via Crucis, that are performed in three processions. The symbology from the steps of Jesus Christ Passion, the elements from the devotion to these steps and its Lord are images presents in the imaginary from the people of Cidade de Goiás. This research revealed the presence of these symbols on the cultural and social manifestations, literature, visual arts, people speech, their daily inhabits and social life. The mark of religion from its brotherhood is given by its special modus operandi, that goes round this devotion and its special elements: The Brotherhood, the Church and the Saint, that are efficient in fixation of a tradition that marks itself as a culture, because it renews itself and resists against the time, without modifying the devotion. / Este trabalho consiste na dissertação de Mestrado resultante das pesquisas que foram realizadas durante dois anos, participando da Irmandade do Senhor Bom Jesus dos Passos da Cidade de Goiás. A Irmandade dos Passos tem uma ação cultural criativa, que mantém a tradição e a ressignifica, sendo um dos principais fatores que colaboram na formação da identidade e subjetividade dos vilaboenses. A Irmandade dos Passos tem a sua ação focada no Período Quaresmal, mas está ativa e presente em todas as atividades possíveis do calendário católico. Sua principal dentre todas as atividades são as festividades da Semana de Passos, que tem uma estrutura cultural, estética, musical e paralitúrgica próprias, focada nos Passos de Jesus padecente pela Via Crucis, encenados numa série de três procissões. A simbologia dos Passos da Paixão, os elementos da devoção aos Passos e ao seu Senhor são figuras presentes no imaginário vilaboense. A pesquisa revelou a presença desses símbolos nas mais diversas manifestações sociais e culturais, presentes na literatura, artes visuais vilaboenses e, portanto, na fala das pessoas, nos seus hábitos diários e vida social. A marca da religiosidade da Irmandade dos Passos se dá pelo seu modus operandi especial, que gira em torno de uma devoção e seus elementos principais: A Irmandade, a Igreja e o Santo, eficientes na fixação de uma tradição que se marca como cultura, porque se renova e resiste ao tempo, sem modificar a sua devoção.

[en] FROM MONARCHY TO REPUBLIC: A STUDY OF PROGRESS AND CIVILIZATION S CONCEPTS IN RIO DE JANEIRO CITY BETWEEN 1868 AND 1906 / [pt] DA MONARQUIA À REPÚBLICA: UM ESTUDO DOS CONCEITOS DE CIVILIZAÇÃO E PROGRESSO NA CIDADE DO RIO DE JANEIRO ENTRE 1868 E 1906

ANDRE NUNES DE AZEVEDO 05 December 2003 (has links)
[pt] Desde o último terço do século XIX a Monarquia brasileira buscou afirmar na cidade do Rio de Janeiro a sua legitimidade enquanto instituição responsável pelo governo do país através da idéia de civilização, que se buscou vincular à noção de progresso. A associação destas duas idéias nas últimas décadas do Oitocentos operou-se de forma que a noção de progresso encontrasse-se subordinada àquela de civilização, valor máximo a ser exaltado pela Monarquia. Com a abolição da escravidão e a ascensão da República uma nova organização política foi desenvolvida bem como uma nova maneira dos cariocas perceberem a sua situação na sociedade; uma nova percepção que ganhou forte impulso com o fenômeno econômico do encilhamento. Este conjunto de transformações fomentou uma nova relação entre as noções de progresso e de civilização. Nesta, a primeira, cada vez mais conotada no seu aspecto de desenvolvimento material, passava a ser percebida como uma idéia de maior relevância que a segunda. A Grande Reforma Urbana de 1903-1906, foi um momento de coadunação das duas formas de relacionamento/subordinação entre as idéias de progresso e de civilização. A reforma urbana empreendida pelo Governo Federal, através do Presidente Rodrigues Alves, buscou afirmar no espaço urbano do Rio de Janeiro a relação entre estas duas idéias que foi conformada no período republicano. De maneira diversa, a reforma urbana conduzida pelo Governo Municipal, através do Prefeito Pereira Passos, procurou vincar na mesma cidade a relação de subordinação entre as idéias de progresso e de civilização produzidas no Império. / [en] Since the last third of the 19th century, the monarchy tried to affirm its legitimacy as the institution in charge of Brazilian government using the idea of civilization associated with the notion of progress. This association took place in the last two decades of the 19th century in such a way that the notion of progress was subordinate to the idea of civilization as the highest monarchy value. With the slavery abolishment and the establishment of the republican regime, a new political organization as well as a new perspective about the society by the Rio de Janeiro citizens was developed. The economic crises known as encilhamento reinforced that new perception. These social and political transformations led to a new relation between the notions of progress and civilization. The idea of progress, increasingly related with material development, took up the organizational role that was attached, since then, to the idea of civilization. The Great Urban Reform of 1903-1906 was the moment of combination of the two forms of relationship and subordination between the ideas of progress and civilization. The urban reform made by the Federal Government, during the presidency of Rodrigues Alves, attempted to affirm in the Rio de Janeiro urban space the relations between these two ideas consolidated in the republican regime. Otherwise, the urban reform implemented by the Rio de Janeiro local government - conducted by mayor Pereira Passos - tried to apply to the city the same primacy of the idea of civilization produced during the imperial regime.

Une écriture de combat : Fiction et politique dans l'entre-deux-guerres aux États-Unis : John Dos Passos (1920-1938) / We have only words against : Fiction and Politics in America in the 1920s and 1930s : John Dos Passos (1920-1938)

Béja, Alice 04 December 2010 (has links)
Les œuvres de John Dos Passos [1896-1970] sont souvent étudiées à l’aune – ou à l’ombre – de son parcours politique. L’enjeu de cette thèse est de revenir sur ce lien entre fiction et politique, en partant non plus des positions politiques de l’auteur mais des œuvres elles-mêmes, pour analyser si et en quoi la fiction peut se faire politique. Des romans de jeunesse aux œuvres de la maturité [notamment Manhattan Transfer et la trilogie U.S.A.], Dos Passos construit sa critique politique, fondée sur la remise en cause du récit linéaire. Il remplace la « destinée manifeste » de l’Amérique par le portrait des « deux nations » qui la composent, et travaille le genre du roman pour le défaire de sa dimension providentielle. En mettant à l’épreuve l’intrigue, le protagoniste et la temporalité, il inscrit cette critique politique au cœur même de l’écriture, et invite à porter un nouveau regard sur les œuvres politiques de l’entre-deux-guerres, et sur les liens entre modernisme et radicalisme, dénoués par la critique de la Guerre Froide. Ses œuvres mettent en scène la difficulté de construire une littérature protestataire dans un pays fondé sur des idéaux démocratiques. Plutôt qu’un perpétuel retour au mythe des origines, cependant, elles mettent en place un véritable dialogue avec les textes fondateurs, dialogue au sein duquel la fiction fait peu à peu émerger, entre les lignes, le non-dit du politique / The novels of John Dos Passos [1896-1970] are often analyzed with reference to his politics. This dissertation aims to recast the link between politics and fiction in his work, starting from the texts themselves rather than from the author’s political pronouncements, to see how fiction itself can become political. Dos Passos’s political criticism built up progressively throughout his career, from his early fiction to the crowning success of U.S.A., and rested on a criticism of linear narrative. He went against America’s “manifest destiny” to portray a divided country, made up of “two nations", and rooted his political criticism within the genre of the novel itself. By undermining the concepts of plot, protagonist and temporality, he created a form of political fiction where politics are an integral part of writing, rather than an imposition upon it. Dos Passos thus invites us to cast a new glance at the interwar period, and at the links – severed by Cold War criticism – between modernism and radicalism. His works bear witness to the difficulty of writing protest in a land of consensus; however, rather than resorting to a tempting return to the myth of origins, they enact a dialogue with the founding texts, through which fiction progressively reveals how the nation’s political – and textual – foundation rests on gaps and omissions

Roman et engagement : le laboratoire des années 1930 en Allemagne, aux États-Unis et en France. Autour de November 1918 de Döblin, de USA de Dos Passos et du Monde réel d’Aragon / Novel and commitment : the laboratory of the 1930’s in Germany, in the United States and in France. About Döblin’s November 1918, Dos Passos’ USA and Aragon’s The Real World

Peyroles, Aurore 26 November 2013 (has links)
C’est en réinscrivant la notion d’engagement littéraire dans le contexte des années 1930, qui ont vu son émergence et sa mise en pratique, que nous nous proposons de rendre son caractère opérationnel à une expression trop souvent considérée comme contradictoire ou réductrice. Envisagée à travers des textes qui ont précédé la théorisation sartrienne – Le Monde réel d’Aragon, USA de Dos Passos et November 1918 de Döblin –, la notion d’engagement littéraire rend compte d’une écriture littéraire et d’une ambition politique qui ne se conçoivent que dans le rapport simultané de l’une à l’autre. Élaboré comme une réponse en acte à une situation jugée insupportable, le roman engagé des années 1930 apparaît comme le lieu de reconfigurations multiples : reconfiguration du regard porté sur le monde réel, dont le scandale est révélé en plein par la représentation romanesque ; reconfiguration de la langue de la nation et de l’entreprise narrative, redéfinies par opposition aux mésusages et aux manipulations des adversaires, et ainsi rénovées ; reconfiguration d’un espace politique intrinsèquement démocratique, dont la lecture permet l’expérimentation. / By inscribing the notion of literary commitment in the context of the 1930’s, which saw its apparition and its practice, we intend to restore the efficiency of an expression which is too often considered as the difficult conciliation between two areas supposedly antagonistic: politics and literature. Approached through novels which preceded Sartre’s theorization – Aragon’s The Real World, Dos Passos’ USA and Döblin’s November 1918 – the notion of literary commitment accounts for a literary writing and a political ambition which are only conceived in relation with one and another. Written as an answer in action to a situation considered as unbearable, the committed novel of the 1930’s appears as the place where multiple reconfigurations take place: reconfiguration of the perception of the real world, which scandal is revealed by the fictional representation; reconfiguration of the national language and of the narrative process, which are redefined by opposition to the misuses and the manipulations of the opponents; reconfiguration of a political space inherently democratic, experimented in the process of reading itself.

The aeroplane as a modernist symbol : aviation in the works of H.G. Wells, Virginia Woolf, William Faulkner, and John Dos Passos

Haji Amran, Rinni Marliyana January 2015 (has links)
This thesis investigates the rise of aviation and its influence on modernist literature in the first half of the twentieth century, arguing that the emergence of heavier-than-air flight facilitated experimentation and innovation in modernist writing in order to capture the new experience of flight and its impact on the modern world. Previous critical discussions largely focus on militarist and nationalist ideas and beliefs regarding the uses of the aeroplane, and in doing so overlook the diversity of attitudes and approaches towards aviation that had greater influence on modernist thought. Through a historicist reading of a selection of modernist texts, this study extends scholarly debates by linking alternative views of aviation and modernist literary and narrative experimentation. I begin my study by exploring how H.G. Wells's calls for the establishment of a world government (necessitated by the emergence of aviation) led to an increasingly assertive and urgent tone in his later writings. His works serve as a useful starting point to read the more experimental, modernist prose forms that follow in his wake. While Wells's texts were affected on a pragmatic level, those of the modernists were affected in a more imaginative, perceptual, and sensory way, which highlights the deeper extent to which aviation influenced modernist thought. For Virginia Woolf, the all-encompassing aerial view offered a new way of seeing the connections between living things, leading to an expanded narrative scope in her later writings. For William Faulkner, flight as aerial performance and spectacle was a liberating experience and became a metaphor for escape from an increasingly capitalistic and creativity-deprived world. John Dos Passos, in contrast, saw the effects of air travel as harmful to the human senses and perceptions of the world around, leading him to incorporate aspects of flight into his fast-paced, multi-modal narratives in order to convey and critique the disorienting and alienating experience of flight. Collectively, these chapters show that as much as the aeroplane was capable of causing mass destruction, it was also constructive in the way that it enabled these new ways of thinking, and it is this complex and paradoxical nature, this thesis proposes, that makes the aeroplane an important modernist symbol.

However, even accompanied by important subjective and intersubjective components, the impact of this phenomenon on psychic life has not yet been studied in Psychology. This study aims at investigating the meanings that the systematic and continuous practice of the pilgrimage has for the subject who lives in the Passos de Anchieta, an event that reconstructs the historical journey made by the Jesuit saint Jos?? de Anchieta, in the Captaincy of the Holy Spirit, in the century XVI. The route begins in the state capital, Vit??ria, and travels about 100 km along the coast. The experience draws attention to the fact that it started 18 years ago with a small group of friends and, today, count on the participation of 4,000 wanderers. The intention of the research is to unveil the meaning of pilgrimage to the wanderer, seeking in the notion of meaning, in consonance with the phenomenology of Husserl and Merleau-Ponty, the foundations for the understanding of the phenomenon. The qualitative and exploratory methodology integrates two instruments, ethnography and semi-structured interviews, both also inspired by the phenomenological method. The first stage, of ethnographic description, was made with 4,000 participants in 24 hours of description. In the second stage, six wanderers were interviewed, following the following themes / axes: description of the history of the phenomenon; Meanings and impressions about the Steps of Anchieta; Experiences and reports of significant experiences obtained during the Passos de Anchieta; Transformations along the route and expectations and future projects in the Passos de Anchieta. From the results of the two instruments used, syntheses were made and, from them, variant and invariant sense units were presented. The analysis of the results was dialogued with the theoretical framework of work and other interdisciplinary theories. The results revealed that the senses that the pilgrims find in the experience are related to the corporality and that the pilgrims understand the phenomenon assigning meanings and meanings in diverse expressive modalities of sense that are as incarnated in several experiences of the way, in the form of sensations, Perceptions, directions, spiritualities, religiosities, belongings, feelings, sensibilities, spatialities, landscapes, meanings, teleologies. The journey unfolds in the sense of immanence and transcendence. It is also characterized, often in rituals, that it can include elements of a nature that are both metaphorical and of symbolic efficacy, and often accompanied by a cathartic effect. We conclude that, since experience is a vehicle for expressing belief its meanings and incarnated meanings in the body, it can not be merely reduced to the mere network of articulations, structures and sounds, but understood as the expressive plenitude of being in the world in a Continuous process of communication with the world and its derivations to the wanderers??? psychic health. / As peregrina????es, na contemporaneidade, t??m sido um campo fecundo para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas em diversas ??reas do conhecimento humano. Entretanto, mesmo acompanhadas de importantes componentes subjetivos e intersubjetivos, o impacto deste fen??meno sobre a vida ps??quica tem sido ainda pouco estudado em Psicologia. Este estudo tem por objetivo investigar os sentidos que a pr??tica sistem??tica e cont??nua do ato de peregrinar tem para o sujeito que peregrina nos Passos de Anchieta, evento que reconstitui o caminho hist??rico feito pelo santo Jesu??ta Jos?? de Anchieta, na Capitania do Esp??rito Santo, no s??culo XVI. O caminho tem in??cio na capital do Estado, Vit??ria, e percorre cerca de 100 km pelo litoral. A experi??ncia chama a aten????o pelo fato de, h?? 18 anos, ter-se iniciado a caminhada com um pequeno grupo de amigos e, hoje, contar com a participa????o de 4.000 peregrinos. A inten????o da pesquisa ?? desvelar o sentido do peregrinar para o peregrino, buscando na no????o de sentido, em conson??ncia com a fenomenologia de Husserl e Merleau-Ponty, os fundamentos para a compreens??o do fen??meno. A metodologia, de cunho qualitativo e explorat??rio, integra dois instrumentos, etnogr??fico e entrevistas semiestruturadas, ambos tamb??m inspirados no m??todo fenomenol??gico. A primeira etapa, de descri????o etnogr??fica, contou com cerca de 4000 participantes em 24h de descri????o. Na segunda etapa, foram entrevistados seis andarilhos, seguindo-se os seguintes temas eixos: descri????o do percurso hist??rico do fen??meno; significados e impress??es acerca dos Passos de Anchieta; viv??ncias e relatos de experi??ncias significativas que obteve ao percorrer ???os Passos de Anchieta???; transforma????es ao longo do percurso e expectativas e projetos de futuro nos Passos de Anchieta. A partir dos resultados dos dois instrumentos utilizados, foram feitas s??nteses e a partir delas, foram apresentadas unidades de sentido variantes e invariantes. As an??lises dos resultados foram dialogadas com o arcabou??o te??rico do trabalho e outras teorias interdisciplinares. Os resultados desvelaram que os sentidos que os peregrinos encontram na experi??ncia est??o relacionados ?? corporalidade e que os peregrinos compreendem o fen??meno atribuindo sentidos e significados em diversas modalidades expressivas de sentido que s??o como que encarnadas em v??rias experi??ncias do caminho, sob a forma de sensa????es, percep????es, dire????es, espiritualidades, religiosidades, pertencimentos, sentimentos, sensibilidades, espacialidades, paisagens, significados, teleologias. A caminhada se desdobra em sentidos de e iman??ncia e transcend??ncia, caracterizando-se tamb??m, muitas vezes em rituais, de podem comportar elementos de naturezas imultaneamente metaf??ricos e de efic??cia simb??lica, al??m de muitas vezes acompanhados de efeito cat??rtico. Conclu??mos que, sendo a experi??ncia um ve??culo de express??o da cren??a os seus sentidos e significados encarnados no corpo, n??o podem ser reduzidos ?? mera rede de articula????es, estruturas e sons, mas, compreendida como a plenitude expressiva do ser no mundo, em um processo cont??nuo de comunica????o com o mundo e respectivas deriva????es para a sa??de ps??quica dos andarilhos.
