Previous issue date: 2017-02-21 / CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / A presente tese procura abordar a relação do pentecostalismo com a cultura no Brasil a partir da perspectiva da Ciência da Religião. A percepção da religião como totalidade dirige o foco da tese para a intepretação religiosa da cultura verificada no prisma dessa manifestação religiosa. Procura-se através de uma metodologia interpretativa e metanalítica demarcar a visão de mundo pentecostal em torno da cultura na forma como essa relação se expressou desde a primeira modalidade de pentecostalismo que se instalou em solo autóctone até o momento presente, interpretando suas principais atitudes diante do mundo. Este é um trabalho bibliográfico em que serão debatidos os principais paradigmas que procuraram explicar essa interface e será realizado um esforço de interpretação fenomenológica da crença pentecostal. Ao final, propõe-se uma síntese interpretativa da atual relação do pentecostalismo com a cultura tendo como parâmetro suas recentes transformações. / The present thesis tries to approach the relation of the Pentecostalism with the culture in Brazil from the perspective of the Science of Religion. The perception of religion as totality directs the focus of the thesis to the religious interpretation of the culture verified in the prism of this religious manifestation. The aim is to demarcate through an interpretative and meta-analytic methodology the Pentecostal worldview around culture in the way this relation has been expressed since the first modality of Pentecostalism that settled in autochthonous soil to the present moment, interpreting its attitudes towards the world. This is a bibliographical work in which the main paradigms that seek to explain this relationship will be debated together with a phenomenological interpretation of Pentecostal belief. In the end, an interpretative synthesis of the current relationship between Pentecostalism and culture will be carried out, taking as a parameter its recent transformations.

Previous issue date: 2014 / Resumo: A Igreja Mundial do Poder de Deus (IMPD) é uma igreja cristã reconhecida como igreja pentecostal de terceira geração. Nela identificamos elementos do pentecostalismo clássico, cuja ênfase recai nos rituais de cura semelhantemente ao movimento pentecostal dos anos 1950, além de práticas que remetem a um tipo de religiosidade denominada "popular". A irreverência ao discurso teológico, a materialidade da devoção, além do acento nos testemunhos durante as reuniões públicas, fazem dessas as práticas centrais que identificam a igreja. Embora o demônio seja o malfeitor protagonista em seus cultos, no palco o maior crédito é atribuído ao poder sobrenatural de Deus mediado pelo apóstolo e líder da igreja, Valdemiro Santiago. A partir da etnografia realizada (2010-2012) em reuniões, encontros públicos e monitoramento de website e redes sociais, essa pesquisa objetiva compreender (1) as articulações internas e operações de síntese que os agentes religiosos elaboram em suas práticas quando aderem a essa modalidade de pentecostalismo, o que faremos por meio do recurso às categorias "experiência religiosa" e "testemunho". Interessa-nos compreender (2) a centralidade dos testemunhos, na qualidade de narrativas de si, que rotinizados revitalizam a experiência religiosa daqueles que frequentam a IMPD. A tese que apresentamos abordará em seus capítulos a relação entre experiência religiosa, estrutura e funcionamento da IMPD, a figura do apóstolo Valdemiro Santiago e a dimensão performativa e midiática da igreja / Abstract: The Worldwide Church of the Power of the God (Igreja Mundial do Poder de Deus) is a Christian church recognized as a Pentecostal church of third generation. In this church we identify elements from classic Pentecostalism, whose emphasis is on healing rituals similarly to the Pentecostal movement of the 1950s, and practices related to a kind of religiosity called "popular". The core practices that identify this church are: irreverence to the theological discourse, materiality of devotion, and the highlight on testimony during the public meetings. Although the devil is taken as the wrongdoer protagonist in the cults, on stage, the higher credit is attributed to the supernatural power of God mediated by the apostle and the leader of the church Valdemiro Santiago. According to the ethnography that took place between 2010-2012 in the meetings, public encounters, and the monitoring of websites and social networks, this research aims to understand (1) the inner joints and synthesis operations that the religious agents work out in their practices when they accept this modality of Pentecostalism, which we will do by resorting to the categories "religious experience" and "testimony". This thesis also tries to to understand (2) the centrality of testimony, as narratives of the self, which routinized revitalizes the religious experience of those who attend to IMPD. The thesis will approach in the chapters the relationship between religious experience, structure and functioning of the IMPD, the image of the apostle Valdemiro Santiago, as well the performative and mediatic the dimension of the church / Doutorado / Ciencias Sociais / Doutora em Ciências Sociais

"De bem com a vida": o sagrado num mundo em transformação.Carlos Tadeu Siepierski 07 December 2001 (has links)
Tendo como pano de fundo a visibilidade alcançada pelos evangélicos em décadas recentes, tanto pelo seu extraordinário crescimento numérico, quanto pela sua surpreendente presença no campo político, o trabalho procura analisar, dentro do campo neopentecostal, a especificidade da Igreja Renascer em Cristo. Ao mesmo tempo que ela apresenta um discurso voltado para jovens e empresários de classe média, com uma estética que combina de forma inédita o sagrado com elementos da indústria do entretenimento e da comunicação de massa, constitui-se como um poderoso empreendimento gerenciado segundo uma racionalidade empresarial moderna. Sua capacidade de mobilização se manifesta através de megaeventos,que ampliam ainda mais sua visibilidade, estendendo sua influência além dos seus limites institucionais. É esse poder de mobilização que o campo político-partidário tenta apropriar, sem ter, contudo, o mesmo êxito que o empreendimento religioso, já que a capacidade de arregimentação que a igreja demonstra possuir, se funda no sagrado e para ele retorna. O que está em jogo, mais do que o poder político, é o poder simbólico, ou seja, a capacidade do discurso religioso de encampar na sua lógica segmentos cada vez mais amplos da experiência de vida, em domínios considerados profanos, e conferir-lhes novos significados, frente às incertezas de um mundo em transformação. / Members of evangelic protestant denominations have achieved in recent decades a new visibility in Brazil, owing as much to an extraordinary increase in their numbers as to their unexpected presence in the political arena. It is against the background of such developments that this research attempts to analyze the specificity of the church Renascer em Cristo within the neopentecostal religious field. While it appeals to young people and to middle class businessman, by means of aesthetic devices which surprisingly bring together sacred elements, mass media, and the entertainment industry, the church has turned into a powerful enterprise managed according to principles of modern entrepreneurial rationality. Its capacity to mobilize people is displayed in gigantic shows, which give it a greater visibility and extend its influence beyond its institutional boundaries. It is this mobilization capacity that politicians try to gather in their support in the political arena, without, however, having the same success as the religious enterprise. In fact, the power displayed by the church in gathering such support is based on sacredness and to sacredness it must return. More than political power, then, what is in fact at stake is symbolic power, or the capacity for a religious discourse to encompass within its own logic wider and wider segments of the profane life experience of the people, and confer upon them new meanings, in light of the uncertainties of a world in transformation.

'Destiny is not where you are now' : fashioning new Pentecostal subjectivities among young women in Calabar, NigeriaGilbert, Juliet Caroline Maria January 2014 (has links)
The thesis examines young women’s livelihoods in Calabar, southeastern Nigeria. It discusses how young women aim to realise their believed ‘destinies of greatness’, reconciling aspirations of fortune with present insecurities. Pinpointing a time when the city’s universities were on indefinite strikes, the discussions depict young women’s industriousness as they ‘wait’ amid uncertainty. The thesis focuses explicitly on young women’s engagement with Pentecostalism, the religion encouraging action, timeliness, and knowledge of the self and God. Understanding how young women fashion Pentecostal subjectivities attuned with ideals of urban success, the chapters focus on various ‘sites’ in their lives: church ministries, the home, sewing shops, beauty pageants. The thesis argues that young women believe they can realise future fortune by constantly partaking in acts of self-preparation. However, as action is driven by the competing forces of fear and faith, the acts young women believe will fashion subjectivities conducive to urban success are always gambles. Illuminating the emic concept of ‘destiny’ – a classic concept in West African Anthropology, denoting personhood and lifecourse (Fortes 1987) – the thesis builds upon recent analyses of how action underpins concepts of hope (Miyazaki 2004), doubt (Pelkmans 2013), and fortune (da Col 2012; Graeber 2012). Illuminating action and futures, the discussion contributes to recent analyses of time, productivity and youth (Honwana 2012; Jeffrey 2010; Masquelier 2013a). By examining the often-ignored category of young women, the thesis develops an understanding of ‘feminine cultures of waiting’. The discussion of how Pentecostal subjectivities are fashioned, which draws different ‘sites’ of young women’s lives together, also furthers analyses of African youth by countering salient narratives of youth in violence (e.g. Vigh 2006). Focusing on young women’s livelihoods, the thesis contributes to an Anthropology of (Pentecostal) Christianity by illustrating how religious rhetoric and practice are carried out and negotiated outside formal church institutions.

Continuities of Change: Conversion and Convertibility in Northern MozambiquePremawardhana, Devaka 01 January 2016 (has links)
Recent scholarship on Africa gives the impression of a singular narrative regarding Pentecostalism, that of inexorable rise. Indisputably, Pentecostalism's "explosion" throughout the global South is one of today's more remarkable religious phenomena. Yet what can we learn by shifting attention from the places where Pentecostal churches succeed to where they fail? Attending to this question offers an opportunity to reassess a regnant theoretical paradigm within recent studies of Pentecostalism: that of discontinuity. This paradigm holds that Pentecostalism, by insisting that worshippers break with traditional practices and ancestral spirits, introduces a temporal rupture with the past. This is a salutary theoretical move, insofar as it challenges the social scientific tendency to see people as largely reproductive of the past, incapable of discontinuous change. The problem, however, is the implicit assumption that "traditional" cultures--Pentecostalism's contrast class--are static by comparison. My research reveals that the Makhuwa-speaking people of northern Mozambique prove themselves extraordinarily capable of change, and not solely as the result of conversion to Pentecostalism, migration to cities, or other features of African "modernization."
This dissertation describes Makhuwa rituals, metaphors, and histories that inculcate dispositions toward mobility and experimentalism. What is significant about these types of change is their banality in everyday affairs. As such, they help mark the Makhuwa "traditional" framework as constitutionally pliable and malleable. Change, even radical change, is endogenous. The new churches' ecstatic dances and spirit baptisms, their theologies of rebirth and renewal, are some of the features that most appeal to those who participate in them. Their appeal, however, is as extensions of, not alternatives to, indigenous ways of being.
Yet if the convertibility of the Makhuwa self precedes entry into the churches, brings people into the churches, and finds reinforcement in the churches, it also facilitates exit from the churches. Change is not only incremental and regular, it is also reversible. The reason the churches fail to retain members is not, as their leaders often complain, that people are too rooted in their ancestral ways, but precisely the opposite: they are un-rooted, mobile by tradition.

The doctrine of the holy spirit in pentecostalism and neo-pentecostalism, with special reference to the work of Frederick Dale BrunerHiggs, Michael John January 1974 (has links)
The problem of 'authority' is of paramount importance in determining the theological stance of any religious movement and not least is this the case where the movement is labelled 'fundamentalist' both by its protagonists and its antagonists. Intro. p. 1.

Faire le travail de Dieu : une anthropologie morale du pentecôtisme en Suède contemporaine / Doing God's work : a moral anthropology of pentecostalism in contemporary SwedenMahieddin, Émir 19 November 2015 (has links)
Comment se fait-on sujet de Dieu dans une société envisagée comme l’une « des plus sécularisées du monde » ? Dieu exerce-t-il un pouvoir sur les humains ? Quels sont les rouages du changement moral dans le domaine religieux ? C’est autour de ce faisceau de questionnements que s’est construit ce travail de recherche, en prenant le milieu pentecôtiste suédois comme étude de cas ethnographique. Le contexte nordique est un contrepoint comparatif heuristique pour l’anthropologie du christianisme. Il permet de mener une discussion critique avec de nombreux travaux menés dans les « pays du Sud ». En Suède, les pentecôtistes engagent en effet une « conversation » avec d’autres forces que celles qui sont si prégnantes ailleurs. Les variables économiques, sociales ou politiques y sont bien différentes et les agents de la surnature des systèmes de croyances coutumiers en sont absents. Ici, c’est le « séculier », à la fois comme régime de subjectivation et comme figure plus ou moins imaginée de l’altérité de l’intérieur, qui devient l’interlocuteur privilégié et l’alter ego de référence dans la construction des subjectivités chrétiennes. À l’intersection entre anthropologie du christianisme et anthropologie morale, il est question dans ce travail de penser les techniques de subjectivation morale des pentecôtistes en Suède comme autant de manières de rendre Dieu co-présent au monde. Il s’agit de voir comment ce dispositif de construction de soi et de transformation du monde, que les pentecôtistes appellent le « travail de Dieu », se réarticule et se renouvelle en permanence le long de la frontière instable et poreuse entre le religieux et le séculier. / How does one shape oneself as a subject of God in a society that is purportedly « one of the most secularized in the world »? Does God have a power over human beings? What are the mechanics of moral change in the religious field? The research presented here is based on these general questions, using the Swedish Pentecostal milieu as a specific ethnographic case study. The Nordic context offers a heuristic comparative counterpoint for the anthropology of Christianity. It provides the discipline with ethnographic data allowing a critical discussion of the many studies carried out in developing countries. Indeed, Swedish Pentecostals can be observed engaging a conversation with significant forces different than elsewhere. In Sweden, social, political and economic variables are very different and the supernatural agents of customary systems of belief are absent. It is the secular, both as a subjectivation mode and as a more or less imagined « other » from the inside, that becomes the privileged interlocutor and prime alter ego in the shaping of Christian subjectivities. At the intersection of the anthropology of Christianity and moral anthropology, this work deals with the techniques of moral subjectivation, all of them being ways of making God present to the human world. This research questions the ways in which this self-fashioning and world-transformation apparatus, that Pentecostals call the « Work of God », permanently (re)adjusts itself along the porous and unstable boundary between the religious and the secular.

Becoming Evangelical in Rural Costa Rica: A Study of Religious Conversion and Evangelical Faith and PracticeEpp, Jared M.H. January 2014 (has links)
Almost daily emotional worship pours from a warehouse-sized evangelical church in the small rural community of Santa Cruz, Costa Rica. Within twenty years an evangelical presence has gone from virtually non-existent to standing alongside the Catholic Church in the area’s religious landscape. Scenarios like this are going on throughout Latin America as evangelical faith has become firmly rooted in the region. In this thesis I provide another ethnographic research context to the growing body of literature focused on Pentecostalism/evangelicalism in Latin America. Like others addressing this dynamic, I explore the factors and motivations that lead people to become evangelical. I approach these questions with particular emphasis on the characteristics of evangelical faith as it is constructed and practiced during church services. Through participant observation during church services and interviews with practicing evangelicals in and around Santa Cruz, I highlight the relationship between the characteristics of an evangelical faith and the factors and motivations that lead people to seek it. To be religiously active in the manner of my informants requires deep commitment and is not a faith adopted and practiced lightly. Those who become evangelical and sustain the demanding practice are likely to seek it for spiritual solutions to difficult life situations.

Pentecostalism, Globalisation and Society in Contemporary ArgentinaAasmundsen, Hans Geir January 2013 (has links)
In Argentina, Pentecostalism had a breakthrough in the early 1980s, and today more than 10 per cent of the population are Pentecostals. The revival coincided with a socio-political transformation of Argentinean society. After half a century of dictatorships and Peronism, democracy was restored, and structural changes paved the way for a certain “autonomisation” of politics, law, economy, science and religion. The "new" form of society that developed resembles what in this study is called a Western model, which to a large degree is currently being diffused on a global scale. This work examines the new religious sphere and how Pentecostals relate to society at large, and the political and judicial sphere in particular. Social systems theory and an idea of communication as constitutive of social spheres, such as religious, political and judicial ones, form the theoretical foundation for the study. Methods that have been used are fieldwork, interviews and analyses of written material. It is concluded that evangelisation and transformation are of major concern to Pentecostals in contemporary Argentina and that this follows a global trend. Evangelisation has always been important to, even a hallmark of, Pentecostalism. What has become as important is the urge for transformation, of the individual, the family and society. This leads to increased socio-political engagement. However, Pentecostals do not have a “fixed” idea of how society should be organised, i.e., they do not yet have a full-fledged political theology, a public theology or what could be called a Pentecostal ideology. This is mainly because they experience a lack of “compatibility” between the Pentecostal and the political communication. Their approaches to socio-political concerns seem to be based on an understanding of certain “values” as the fundamental building block of society.
