Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar, através de um ritual de passagem, os valores culturais presentes em uma comunidade rural. Ao narrar suas lembranças sobre o rito de passagem, os moradores dessa comunidade trazem para a discussão as experiências vividas no rito do casamento e os significados que elas representaram em suas vidas. A riqueza desse estudo qualitativo sustenta-se na possibilidade de entrar nessas experiências, analisar em que aspectos da cultura elas se estruturam e o que representam para sua manutenção. A pesquisa usa a etnografia como base metodológica e a entrevista narrativa semi-estruturada como técnica de coleta de dados. A amostra é intencional, composta por trinta entrevistados, de três diferentes gerações. Os critérios de seleção dos sujeitos para participarem da pesquisa foram: estado civil, residência no local em estudo, idade e sexo. A partir dessas variáveis, foram criados três grupos de entrevistados, divididos por idades distintas, a fim de caracterizar as gerações. O referencial teórico utilizado permitiu analisar a cultura dessa comunidade, através das obras de Van Gennep, Turner, Segalen e DaMatta, e identificar as etapas de um rito de passagem e dos valores inseridos nesse rito na comunidade. Desse modo, o estudo acerca dessas narrativas contribuiu para mostrar que esse rito se mantém na comunidade como parte da cultura e dos valores sociais que constituem sua identidade cultural. O estudo demonstra ainda que os ritos são produtos das forças sociais e que se mantêm vivos apesar da velocidade com que a sociedade se desenvolve. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-19T17:36:43Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Maria Lucia Bettega.pdf: 391767 bytes, checksum: 9630a90521b8f19583901de64e30c46f (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-05-19T17:36:43Z (GMT).

When narrating their memories, the inhabitants of this community bring to discussion the experiences lived in the wedding rite and the meanings that they represented in their lives. The richness of this qualitative study sustains itself in the possibility of deeply knowing these experiences, analyzing the cultural aspects which they organize themselves in and what they represent for their maintenance. The research uses ethnography as methodological basis and the semi-structured narrative interview as the data gathering technique. The sample is intentional consisting of thirty interviewees from three distinct generations. The subject selection criteria to take part in the research were: marital status, residence at the place of research, age and gender. Based on these variables, three interviewee groups were created divided by distinct ages in order to distinguish the generations. The theoretical referential used enabled the analysis of this community`s culture through Van Gennep, Turner, Segalen and DaMatta works, and to identify the rite of passage stages and the values inserted in this rite at the community. This way the study around these narratives contributed to show that this rite maintains itself in the community as part of the culture and social values that constitute its culutural identity. The study even demonstrates that the rites are products of social forces and that they maintain themselves alive despite the speed at which the society develops.

Ce mémoire est une étude ethnographique des promesses de São Cristóvão de petits mots et des choses déposés par des pèlerins dévots du Seigneur des Passos comme forme de paiement à l égard d une guérison réussie. Je présente une procession dont j analyse les éléments constitutifs du culte au Seigneur des Passos et, en particulier, la croyance à la guérison. Cette procession est comprise comme un rite ascétique selon la conception durkeimienne à propos de croyances, rites, représentations et objets sacrés les promesses et les petits mots. Ils sont abordés comme des signes de guérison/foi et classés comme icônes, indices et symboles d après la sémiothique peircenienne. Dans cette perspective, j ai pu lire, voir et écouter les écrits du malade sur sa maladie. Le discours sur la maladie un itinéraire étiologique proposé par Laplantine qui m a aidé à identifier les différentes réponses au « pourquoi » de la maladie en étant parmi les pèlerins, en les écoutant et en apprenant les multiples sens de ce qu ils racontaient. La notion ample et complète de la maladie caracterise ces pratiques de guérison magique réligieuses, mais en position marginale pour la médecine scientifique officielle, individualisée et ciblée sur la thérapie médicamenteuse et chirurgicale. / Esta dissertação de mestrado é um estudo etnográfico das promessas de São Cristóvão palavras e coisas depositadas pelos romeiros devotos do Senhor dos Passos como forma de pagamento por curas alcançadas ou desejadas. Apresento a procissão onde analiso os elementos constitutivos do rito de Passos e em particular a crença na cura. A procissão é compreendida como rito ascético a partir da concepção durkheimeana de crenças, ritos e representações e os objetos sagrados as promessas e os bilhetes são abordados como signos de cura\fé e classificados como ícones, índices e símbolos segundo a semiótica peirceana. Esta perspectiva permitiu ler, ver e ouvir os enunciados sobre a doença a partir do doente o discurso sobre a doença um itinerário etiológico proposto por Laplantine, que ajudou a identificar as diferentes respostas para o porquê da doença entre os romeiros através de suas falas identificando seus múltiplos sentidos. A visão abrangente e totalizante da doença caracteriza essas práticas de cura mágico-religiosas como uma posição marginal à medicina científica oficial, individualizada e focada na terapêutica medicamentosa e cirúrgica.

I juli 2017 rapporterade lokalmedia om en händelse i stadsdelen Rud i Karlstad, på platsen för en tilltänkt moské. Snart stod det klart att den pentekostalt kristna rörelsen International Mission Church Karlstad stod bakom vad som visade sig vara en ceremoni. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka vad det var som egentligen hände. Vidare ingår uppsatsen i forskningsprojektet ”Karlstads moské – förhandlingar om islam i Värmland”. Ett studentbaserat projekt vid Karlstads universitet som behandlar islams utveckling i Värmland från olika aspekter. I projektet belyser denna studie det religiösa motståndet mot moskébygget. Med hemsökelseriter samt textritualisering som teoretiska utgångspunkter konstateras att det ceremoniella görandets syfte var att skydda platsen samt att visa sitt missnöje mot nämnda moské. I ett manifest som ligger till grund för undersökningen uppmanas det till andlig krigföring mot det som går emot församlingens värderingar. Studien får dels sin relevans genom bristen på rituella skildringar och dels genom det faktum att islam och islamkritik är ett relevant ämne i dagens samhälle. / In July 2017, local media reported on an event in the district of Rud in Karlstad, at the site of an intended mosque. Soon it became clear that the Pentecostal Christian communion International Mission Church Karlstad, was accountable for what proved to be a ceremony. This essay aims to examine what really happened. Furthermore, this essay is included in the research project ”The Karlstad Mosque – Negotiations on Islam in Värmland”. A student-based project at Karlstad University that deals with Islam’s development in Värmland from various aspects. In the project, this study illustrates the religious resistance against the mosque. With rites of affliction and text ritualization as a theoretical premise, it is stated that the purpose of the ceremonial process was to protect the site and to show the communion’s dissatisfaction with the mosque. In a manifesto, that is the basis for the examination, it is called for spiritual warfare against what goes against the values of the communion. The study is partly relevant because of the lack of ritual depictions and partly by the fact that Islam and Islam criticism is a relevant subject in today’s society.

The intent of this exploratory study was to discover the cultural significance of an Apache ritual, the Sunrise Ceremony, as it relates to the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of the Apache individual, family, and community at large. The ethnographic methodology was used to gather data because this design provided the most systematic and flexible process to generate the widest range of information necessary for describing this culture from the native's point of view. Four culturally relevant domains were developed and analyzed to reveal five cultural themes, including "It's my strength," "Women are the core of living here," "It Tells You the Story of the Beginning," and "Change is Sad--Alcohol is Bad." The findings suggest that because the Sunrise Ceremony is central to the Apache way of life, its values and culture, an understanding of the Sunrise Ceremony can assist in the development of accurate nursing assessments and successful interventions to improve the collective health and well being of the Apache people. Additionally, recommendations for nursing practice and further research are proposed.

No Brasil, pelo que se sabe, a primeira onda ou pentecostalismo clássico não deu muita ênfase à cura divina, pelo que foi a partir da segunda onda ou deuteropentecostalismo, com a inserção da Igreja do Evangelho Quadrangular no campo religioso brasileiro na década de 1950, que esse carisma ganhou notoriedade pública e centralidade cúltica. Com o surgimento do neopentecostalismo ou pentecostalismo autônomo na década de 1970, a cura divina, já inserida na teologia da prosperidade, alcançou outro patamar, sobretudo com a fundação da Igreja Mundial do Poder de Deus, cuja especialidade é a taumaturgia. Assim, a presente dissertação objetiva investigar o fenômeno da cura divina circunscrito à Igreja do Evangelho Quadrangular e à Igreja Mundial do Poder de Deus. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida a partir da revisão bibliográfica, da observação participante e de entrevistas semiestruturadas com fiéis de ambas as igrejas. Tomando como base os dados obtidos com tais procedimentos metodológicos, procuramos analisar e discutir a dimensão mítica e ritual da cura divina nestes nichos religiosos. Finalmente, partindo de uma perspectiva comparativa, a presente dissertação analisa alguns aspectos, especialmente os aspectos mítico e ritual, que envolvem a cura divina numa perspectiva diacrônica que culmina no tempo presente, lançando luz sobre este fenômeno religioso que constitui o objeto de pesquisa deste trabalho. / Divine healing is one of the three major components of the triple Pentecostal belief and practice, along with glossolalia and exorcism. In Brazil, for what we know, the first wave or classical Pentecostalism did not give much emphasis on divine healing, so it was from the second wave or deuteropentecostalism, with the insertion of the Church of the Foursquare Gospel in the Brazilian religious field in the 1950s, this charisma gained public notoriety and cultic centrality. With the emergence of neopentecostalism or as autonomous pentecostalism in the 1970s, divine healing, already inserted into the theology of prosperity, achieved another level, especially with the founding of the World Church of the Power of God, whose specialty is the thaumaturgy. Thus, this study intends to investigate the phenomenon of divine healing circumscribed to the Church of the Foursquare Gospel and the World Church of the Power of God. The research is developed from the literature review, participant observation and semi-structured interviews with the faithful of both churches. Taking the data obtained with such methodological procedures as a basis, we try to analyze and discuss the mythic and ritual dimension of divine healing in these religious niches. Finally, from a comparative perspective, this dissertation examines some aspects, especially the mythic and ritual aspects, that involve divine healing in a diachronic perspective that culminates in the present time, shedding light on this religious phenomenon that is the research object of this work.
