"Participação religiosa e relacionamentos afetivo-sexuais de adolescentes evangélicos pentecostais". / Religions Participation and sexual-affective relationships for pentecostal adolescentsTatiane Neme Campos Brustelo 11 December 2003 (has links)
Participamos de diferentes comunidades de discursos em nossa vida cotidiana, os quais se fazem presente nos processos dialógicos de significação de nossas vivências. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho objetivou compreender 1) quais os sentidos que os jovens que freqüentam a comunidade de discurso da Assembléia de Deus (AD) e da Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (IURD) dão para as suas participações nas respectivas igrejas, procurando identificar seus núcleos; 2) como, a partir dos sentidos de suas participações religiosas, estes adolescentes estão construindo suas autonarrativas e 3) a construção dos sentidos dados aos relacionamentos afetivo-sexuais (ficar, namorar, ter relações sexuais antes do casamento) por jovens da AD e da IURD. Para tal, tendo o construcionismo social como quadro de referência teórica, entrevistamos 24 adolescentes, com idade entre 13 e 18 anos, ambos os sexos, 11 membros da AD e 13 da IURD. Os resultados mostraram que os sentidos dados a participação religiosa pelos entrevistados são: ter um espaço de sociabilidade, ter um status diferenciado dos demais jovens (busca de auto imagem positiva), ter projetos de vida realizáveis, realizar ações que beneficiam o outro e saber que caminho percorrer na busca da felicidade. São estes aspectos que os jovens buscam com suas participações religiosas e que os levam a construírem autonarrativas progressivas e estáveis, após o ingresso na igreja. Em relação aos relacionamentos afetivo-sexuais, percebeu-se que enquanto o adolescente da AD dialoga com diferentes comunidades de discurso, construindo um posicionamento próprio frente ao ficar e ao namorar, o adolescente da IURD dialoga basicamente com os repertórios interpretativos e vozes dessa igreja, parecendo não haver um espaço de reflexão e análise. Tais resultados nos levam a questionar a ausência de políticas públicas e de locais institucionais que ofereçam aos jovens espaços para a reflexão sobre suas vidas. Espaços que sejam ocupados pro profissionais críticos que ao utilizarem seus instrumentais possam proporcionar ressignificações e mudanças nas narrativas destes jovens. / In our daily lives we take part in different discourse communities, which are present in the dialogical processes that shape the meaning of our life experiences. Accordingly, this work aimed at understanding 1) the meanings attributed to their church experience by youths who participate in the discourse community of the Assembly of God (AG) and the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG); 2) how these adolescents are building their own selfnarratives from the meanings of their religious participation; 3) the construction of meanings attributed by these youths to their sexual-affective relationships (casual, serious dating, pre-marital sex). In order to attain these goals, and having the social constructionism as theoretical framework, 24 adolescents of both genders, between 13 and 18 years old, were interviewed; 11 of these were AG members and 13 were UCKG's. Results showed that the meanings of religious participation of those interviewed were: a way to have a social life; a way to attain a differentiated social status (as positive self-image reinforcement); a possibility to have fulfilling life projects; a way of practicing good deeds; and to be able to distinguish the path to happiness in life. These are the youths' aspirations in their religious lives and which direct them towards progressive and stable selfnarratives after joining their churches. With respect to sexual-affective relationships, it was observed that, while AG adolescent interact with different discourse communities, thereby building his own opinions about dating, the UCKG youth basically restricts his interpretations to those put forward by the church, without the possibility of having a space for reflexion and analysis. The aforementioned results brought to light the argument about the absence of public politics and institutions who offer the adolescents spaces for reflexion about their lives. Spaces where critical professional utilize successfully their techniques in order to provide new meanings and ways to change these youths' narratives.

The effects of a separation between a state church and a state : Participation and religious activity in the Evangelical-Lutheran churches in Sweden and NorwayBergström, Helena January 2009 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the effects on religious participation and activity in a country that a separation between a state and a state church has. To do this I have compared Sweden and Norway. Norway still has a state church whereas Sweden does not as of January 1 2000. I decided to examine these two countries due to their similar backgrounds, geographical location and political systems. What I found when examining Sweden was that the separation did effect the religious participation compared to Norway. But Sweden has seen a decrease in church activities for a long time; the decrease would have taken place even without the separation, since Norway also had experiences this decrease over time. So my conclusion is, if Sweden had continued to have a state church, there would have been a similar decrease. However, it would probably have been smaller, then what have taken place after the separation. The different religious activities I have looked at, baptism, confirmation and marriage, have had different development over the years and have been affected differently by the separation. The decrease in religious activity in Sweden is not only caused by the separation between state and church, it is also a reaction against a changing society. The separation in Sweden lead to a larger decrease compared to Norway. Both the decrease in religious activity in Sweden and the separation was instead a reaction to a changing society, the role that the Swedish church once played has been replaced by other factors. One of the foundations to the political elements in Sweden has with this decrease and ultimately the separation been lost and if this also will have any effect on the involvement in secular organization, voting rates or political participation is too early to tell.
