Life is the common denominator for all beings. Unless individuals are taught to be careful about how they deal with it, great harm could be caused to the whole ontological order. Life therefore is a public property for which precepts had to be established to guard against any misuse. This guarantees that life and its processes are used to everyone's advantage. The Community has put itself in position as the monitor of the processes of life. To it belongs the right to distribute, regulate and even withdraw life as different situations would warrant. The community is both the promulgator and the judge over vital matters. The individuals are taught to be conscientious in dealing with life. In making choices the individuals have to be conscious of the historical experiences of the community and be disposed to being influenced by it. Hence the Community becomes the Conscience and Guide. / Religious Studies and Arabic / M.Th. (Religious Studies)

A presente dissertação tem por objetivo compreender as perspectivas de progresso que o processo de beatificação e canonização de Frei Damião pode trazer para o crescimento do turismo religioso em Pernambuco tendo-se por foco as romarias e festas que existem em sua homenagem. Nela, inicialmente é feita uma abordagem geral acerca das peregrinações e do turismo religioso com foco nas imbricações existentes entre os mesmos, além de apontarem-se suas raízes históricas para adentrar-se na questão do turismo religioso no Brasil. Depois, voltamos nossa atenção para a figura de Frei Damião de Bozzano, onde passeamos brevemente pela história da formação da Ordem dos Frades Menores Capuchinhos no Brasil e adentramos na trajetória de vida de Frei Damião no Nordeste brasileiro, por meio de suas missões, doença e morte e o processo de beatificação e canonização. Finalizada essa etapa, passamos a tratar de suas romarias e festas realizadas em homenagem a Frei Damião pelo nordeste brasileiro, com vistas ao turismo religioso e oportunidades mercadológicas e, por fim, tratamos dos desafios existentes para o crescimento do turismo religioso em Pernambuco, tendo-se por foco as informações recebidas durante as entrevistas realizadas junto ao Guardião do Convento de São Felix de Cantalice e o Gestor da Unidade de Destinos e Produtos Turísticos da EMPETUR. Para isso, a metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, para a composição de nosso referencial teórico e a pesquisa de campo, realizada por meio de entrevista, diante das quais se pode concluir que a figura de Frei Damião tem uma grande representatividade para o povo nordestino, que o considera um santo, símbolo de fé e devoção e cujos deslocamentos que acontecem em decorrência de suas romarias e festas podem ser apontados como importante atrativo para o crescimento do turismo religioso no Nordeste. / This dissertation aims to understand the prospects of progress that the process of beatification and canonization of Frei Damião can bring to the growth of religious tourism in Pernambuco, having been the focus for pilgrimages and festivals that exist in his honor. It initially is made on a general approach of pilgrimages and religious tourism with focus on overlapping between them, and also point to its historical roots to enter on the question of religious tourism in Brazil. Then we turn our attention to the figure of Frei Damião of Bozzano where strolled briefly through the history of the formation of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin in Brazil and we enter the life path of Frei Damião in northeastern Brazil , through its missions, and disease death and the process of beatification and canonization. After this step, we proceed to address their pilgrimages and festivals held in honor of Fr Damian to the Brazilian Northeast, with a view to religious tourism and marketing opportunities, and finally, treat existing challenges for the growth of religious tourism in Pernambuco, having focus is on the information received during the interviews conducted by the Guardian of the Convent of St. Felix of Cantalice and Unit Manager of destinations and tourism products of EMPETUR. For this, the methodology used was the literature and documents, for the composition of our theoretical and field research, conducted through interviews, on which one can conclude that the figure of Frei Damião has a great representative for the people northeastern, which considers it a holy symbol of faith and devotion and whose displacements that occur as a result of their festivals and celebrations can be pointed out as an important asset for the growth of religious tourism in the Northeast.

This dissertation examines whether Buddhist beliefs and practices serve to reinforce and/or promote a Korean and/or Canadian cultural prism for next-generation Korean Buddhist practitioners in Toronto, Canada. I define Korean and Canadian cultural prisms based on the cross-cultural psychological framework of Individualism-Relational Collectivism (I-RC) and Analytical-Holistic (A-H) cognition. The aim of my research is to problematize culture in the construction of religious meaning and behaviour for relatively bicultural individuals. My research question can thus be summarized as follows: How is religious meaning and behaviour culturally constructed by next-generation Korean Buddhist practitioners in Canada? What role do individual cultural orientations and the different Buddhist cultural traditions play in this cultural construction and how does Buddhism compare to the other religions (namely Protestantism) practiced by younger-generation Korean-Canadians in this regard? By answering these questions, I ultimately hope to show whether the meaning system of Korean culture is preserved through religion among the younger generation of Korean Buddhist practitioners. I hypothesize that, due to the relatively non-authoritarian nature of Buddhism, the light of Buddhist beliefs and practices will predominantly be refracted through the a priori cultural prism of the individual in question, and the role of Buddhist doctrine and institutions in promoting a particular orientation (individualistic/relationally collectivistic and analytic/holistic) will be minimal and subordinate to the individual. The particular cultural orientation of this prism will, in turn, be dependent upon individual levels of monoculturalism (Korean or Canadian) or biculturalism (Korean and Canadian). In this way, Buddhism may serve to both preserve and undermine the Korean cultural meaning system. By comparison, I hypothesize that the relatively authoritarian nature of (Protestant) Christianity will likely encourage younger-generation Korean Christians to relate to their religion in a predominantly uniform way, regardless of the individual’s cultural orientation.

Summary in German and English / This thesis aims at the integration of the concept of habitus, as introduced by Pierre Bourdieu, with the concept of worldview as defined by Paul G. Hiebert develop implications for the missiological discipline and the analysis of the human condition. In a first step the concept of worldview is introduced and integrated into the anthropological discipline from within the life and work of Paul G. Hiebert. The confinement of the concept within the cognitive realm is worked out subsequently and the necessity of a complimentary concept is underlined. In a second step the concept of habitus as defined by Pierre Bourdieu is introduced and explained within his biography, research tradition and his sociological framework. In the concluding chapter a synthesis is provided to integrate habitus with worldview building upon the complimentary nature of the concepts. The cognitive bias of worldview is amended through the incorporated nature of habitus. This leads to an augmented research methodology which includes practical analysis of habitus. / Ziel dieser Masterarbeit ist es, das in der Missionswissenschaft gebräuchliche Konzept der Weltanschauung, vorgestellt von Paul G. Hiebert, durch das Konzept des Habitus, vorgestellt von Pierre Bourdieu, zu ergänzen und Schlussfolgerungen für die missiologische Disziplin und die praktische Analyse menschlicher Wirklichkeit zu ziehen. Zunächst wird das Konzept der Weltanschauung anthropologisch verortet und am Leben und Werk Paul G. Hieberts konkret dargestellt. Die kognitive Engführung des Begriffs wird dabei herausgearbeitet, die Notwendigkeit einer Ergänzung zur vollständigeren Beschreibung menschlicher Wirklichkeit herausgestellt. In einem zweiten Schritt wird Pierre Bourdieu seiner Tradition und Biographie nach eingeordnet, sein Habituskonzept eingeführt und innerhalb seiner soziologischen Konzepte erklärt. In der abschließenden Synthese wird auf die vorher ausgearbeitete Komplementarität der Konzepte aufgebaut und die kognitive Engführung von Weltanschauung durch das Habituskonzept ergänzt. Die Zusammenschau von Habitus und Weltanschauung ermöglicht eine breitere Darstellung menschlicher Wirklichkeit. Erweiterte Forschungsmethoden und -gebiete, welche den Habitus mit einbeziehen, werden im Abschluss definiert und vorgestellt. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M.Th.

In this work I have used Pierre Bourdieu's concept of habitus as a springboard to examine the Pauline tradition in the light of Zimbabwe-African, cultural, legal and social attitudes to women. I have highlighted the conflict between the practices defined by Zimbabwean Constitutional law regarding the status of women and what is the actual situation on the ground, also considering the role of the church in confronting or conforming to the cultural norms. I have likewise highlighted the conflict in the Pauline tradition where one hand women are given more active roles in the church than could be expected according to the customs of the time, but on the other hand are still bound by an oppressive tradition. I have concluded by suggesting how the church can act in order to break free of this oppressive tradition and bring about change in the habitus of the society. / New Testament / M. Th.

Cette étude entend éclairer un problème contemporain : la résistance de Buckingham aux « diktats » de la Loi 101 au nom d'un canadianisme bilingue et biculturel, qui concorde mal avec la réalité actuelle de la ville, canadienne-française à plus de 85%. L'éclairage proposé est à deux dimensions : une reconstitution historique des relations interethniques et interconfessionnelles dans le Buckingham du XIXe siècle et des débuts du XXe ; une explication par la caractère «social» des groupes ethniques en présence. Un survol de l'évolution démographique et de l'économie de la Basse-Lièvre dans l'optique de la théorie des staples montre d'abord deux économies parallèles, l'agroforestière et l'agro-minière, qui rivalisent pour l'espace et la main-d'oeuvre. L'histoire du monopole de la famille Maclaren sur l'industrie forestière et du conflit ouvrier de 1906 met particulièrement en évidence comment les Canadiens français furent victimes d'un système qui était à l'avantage des Anglo-protestants. Une typologie des caractères «sociaux», empruntée à la littérature socio-anthropologique, et une analyse quantitative des mariages exogames dans la Basse-Lièvre au XIXe siècle servent de base au diagnostic général de l'étude. L'identité bonententiste à Buckingham est le fait de l'élite exogame, mais elle reflète surtout le caractère canadien français, allergique au conflit, qui s'est imposé aux dépens du caractère agressif de l'Irlandais, en nette régression démographique. La démonstration débouche sur une description structurale et événementielle des rapports interethniques et interconfessionnels, sur le territoire d'abord, puis dans les institutions religieuses et scolaires, ainsi que dans la vie associative. Dans le Buckingham de jadis, ce n'était pas le brassage ethnique et confessionnel qui remportait, mais son contraire, la segmentation spatiale et institutionnelle. Les tensions et rivalités interethniques étaient très importantes. En définitive, on constate que l'utopie bonententiste va à l'encontre du vécu historique des Canadiens français de la Basse-Lièvre. / Québec Université Laval, Bibliothèque 2013
