Le Mouridisme, confrérie musulmane d’obédience soufie est un mouvement fondé par Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba MBACKE (1853-1927) en l’an 1883 dans le Cayor et le Baol royaumes situés à l’ouest et au centre du Sénégal. En effet, la pensée mouride est connue évidemment dans sa dimension spirituelle et communautaire mais elle n’est jamais mise en perspective dans le contexte actuel de mondialisation des échanges et des économies. Le travail chez le mouride prend en compte trois logiques :- la relation spirituelle au travail ou la sacralisation du travail ;- l’acquisition de connaissances philosophiques, religieuses, musulmanes ou sociétales. Un mouride se doit de s'investir, de travailler pour apprendre la relation au don de Dieu, les règles de vie en société ; - le disciple doit également être indépendant économiquement afin de préserver sa liberté. Il doit être à l’abri de soucis matériels pour mieux vivre sa foi, répondre aux besoins de l'existence humaine, aider ses proches et participer à la vie de la communauté. Toutefois, il doit développer un esprit d'entraide et donner de son temps au service de la communauté. Dans leur migration, les mourides s’adaptent dans leurs pays d’accueil mais restent profondément attachés à leur confrérie, à leurs pratiques religieuses et à leur pays. Leur rôle dans le développement socioéconomique du Sénégal n’est plus à démontrer. En effet, les mourides interviennent dans beaucoup de domaines, dont certains sont généralement dévolus à l'Etat. / Muridism, muslim brotherhood of obedience sufi is a movement founded by Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba MBACKÉ (1853-1927) in the year 1883 in Cayor and Bawol kingdoms located in the west and the centre of Senegal. Indeed, the murid thought is obviously known in its spiritual and community dimension but it is never put into perspective in the current context of globalization of trade and economies. The murid work takes into account three logics :- the spiritual relationship to work or the sacralization of the work ; the acquisition of knowledge, philosophical, religious, muslim or societal ;- a murid must commit to work to learn how the relationship to the gift of God, the rules of life in society ;- the disciple must also be independent economically in order to preserve its freedom. It must be free from material concerns to better live their faith, meet the needs of human existence, help his family and participate in the life of the community. However, it must develop a spirit of caring and giving of his time to the service of the community.In their migration, murid adapt in their host countries but remain deeply attached to their brotherhood, their religious practices and their country. Their role in the socio-economic development of Senegal is no more to demonstrate. Indeed, the murids are involved in many areas, some of which are usually vested in the State.

In this way, the purpose of the present study is to know how the popular Catholicism and its forms of expression influence artesanal fishermen of Pina on the environmental issue (the ocean). Some issues are still unknown about the artesanal fishermen lives and, consequently, guide the present researches, as: How does represent the Catholic religiosity in the artesanal fishermen profession? Which are the relationships between the faith and the fisheries success? Any religious principles are followed for use and conservation of the nature and the natural resources? With this study, it was confirmed how the artesanal fisherman is moving in its devotion to San Pedro and, mostly, believed to God. Mixing the Catholic doctrine with beliefs and superstitions in which they believes, reciting prayers whose verses pass from generation to generation, the fishermen (re)building and perpetuating they religious universe. Notably, the nature is present in their beliefs, stories and legends, grown over time, to be transmitted from father to son. We also emphasize the educational role that the Church can play through their pastoral work, typical of Catholic churches or similar works carried out by other religious segments. Finally, the importance of this work is to know, through the popular Catholicism practiced by them, the culture and lifestyle of this population, thus contributing to a better understanding of the human being as a man of faith who face social and environmental problems for their support and his family / Ao analisar o panorama atual das pesquisas que envolvem comunidades tradicionais do Brasil, percebe-se que a maioria dos trabalhos tem enfocado aspectos antropológicos, socioeconômicos e culturais, questões de gênero, etnobiologia, conflitos sociais, etc., demonstrando haver uma carência de estudos que visem a identificar o papel da religião católica no contexto ambiental. Dessa forma, o objetivo do presente estudo foi conhecer como o catolicismo popular e suas formas de expressão influenciam os pescadores artesanais do Pina ao lidarem com o meio ambiente (o mar), na busca de recursos para a sua sobrevivência. Algumas indagações que permaneciam desconhecidas na realidade dos pescadores artesanais e, consequentemente, nortearam a presente pesquisa foram: como se configura o catolicismo popular na profissão dos pescadores artesanais? Quais as relações existentes entre a fé e o sucesso nas pescarias? Algum princípio religioso é seguido para usufruto e conservação da natureza e dos recursos naturais? Após esse estudo, confirmou-se o quanto o pescador artesanal é fervoroso na devoção ao santo padroeiro São Pedro e, sobretudo, temente a Deus. Misturando a doutrina católica com crendices e superstições nas quais acredita, recitam orações cujas estrofes passam de geração a geração, e assim, vão (re)construindo e perpetuando seu universo religioso. Notadamente, a natureza se faz presente em suas crenças, nas narrações de seus casos e lendas, cultivados durante tempos, ao serem transmitidos de pai para filho. Ressalta-se também o papel educativo que a Igreja pode desempenhar através de seus trabalhos de pastoral, característicos das igrejas católicas ou de trabalhos similares realizados por outros segmentos religiosos. Por fim, a importância do presente trabalho é a de conhecer a cultura e o modo de vida dessa população, através do catolicismo popular praticado, e contribuir assim para uma melhor compreensão do ser humano, enquanto homem de fé que enfrenta problemas socioambientais para o seu sustento e o de sua família

Les pratiques religieuses dans les pays de l’Atlantique Nord se transforment et on observe pour une partie de leur population le passage d’un « croire institutionnalisé » à une spiritualité influencée par diverses traditions, dont certaines ont fait leur apparition sur ce territoire au milieu du 20e siècle. Le présent mémoire vise à mettre en lumière une des facettes de la diversité religieuse contemporaine; suite aux questionnements qui ont surgi au long du travail, il aborde aussi certains enjeux sous-jacents à l’analyse d’un groupe religieux en anthropologie, notamment comment aborder le terrain et comment considérer un tel groupe. J’ai choisi pour ce faire de décrire un groupe religieux québécois qui est lié à un culte afro-brésilien – l’umbanda– et qui est membre d’un réseau transnational de temples. J’examinerai d’abord comment l’umbanda s’est développée au Brésil, car cela fournira des indications pertinentes sur, entre autres choses, l’éventuelle perméabilité de cette tradition, une fois le groupe implanté dans un pays de l’Atlantique Nord. J’examinerai ensuite le type de transnationalisation qui a présidé à la naissance du temple à Montréal, car cette analyse offre des indices permettant de déterminer comment un tel groupe s’insère dans le paysage religieux de divers pays. Enfin, en me penchant sur les pratiques religieuses des membres du groupe, je tenterai de dégager certaines particularités locales. / Religious practices in North Atlantic countries are evolving, and there are particular cases where one can observe a changeover from institutional beliefs towards forms of spirituality issuing from a variety of traditions, many of which appeared on the scene towards the middle of the 20th century. The present thesis aims to shed some light on one facet of contemporary religious diversity; following up on questions which arose in the course of this exploration, it also addresses issues underlying the anthropological analysis of religious groups, for instance how to approach fieldwork, and how to consider such a group. To this end I have chosen to describe a religious group in Quebec which is linked to an Afro-Brazilian cult named Umbanda, and which is part of a transnational network of Umbanda temples. I shall begin by setting out how Umbanda developed in Brazil, since this informs us as to, for instance, the likelihood of permeability of such a tradition once it is “planted” in Northern soil. I will then analyse the type of transnationalisation that was at work when the Montreal group was set up, since this provides relevant indicators allowing us to determine how the group settles into the religious landscape of different countries. Finally, by examining the religious practices of members of the group, I shall attempt to elucidate a number of distinctive local features.

Cette étude traite des savoirs et pratiques naturalistes relatifs à la flore aromatique et médicinale de la Corse et de leur mise en patrimoine. La pharmacopée traditionnelle et les croyances qui y sont associées sont étudiées dans un but de conservation et de valorisation puis mises en regard avec les pratiques actuelles d’utilisation de la flore (production d’huiles essentielles et de produits dérivés) afin d’étudier le processus de patrimonialisation des savoirs. Ce travail vise à contribuer à la conservation et à la valorisation d’un patrimoine associant le biologique et le culturel ainsi qu’à une meilleure compréhension de la relation de la société corse au végétal au cours du temps. Il s’inscrit également de manière plus générale, dans une perspective d’étude de l’espace insulaire comme lieu de compréhension de la conservation de la diversité culturelle et biologique. / This study deals with naturalist knowledge and practical experience about aromatic and medicinal flora from Corsica and their entering the heritage. Traditional pharmacopeia and the beliefs which are connected to it, are studied with the intention of conservation and promotion. Then they are compared with the present use of flora/the plants (production of essential oils and by-products) in order to examine the heritage recognition of that knowledge. That work is aimed at contributing to the conservation and promotion of a legacy combining both the organic and cultural aspects as well as a better understanding of the interest of the Corsican society in the knowledge of plants in the course of time. More generally it also follows a prospect to study how Corsica is outstanding to understand the conservation of cultural and organic diversity.

This aim arose mainly from the analysis of devotees’ letters and photographs sent to Canindé to thank, ask for, or tell miracles. According to these choices and the availability of the sources, I opted to not delimit an inflexible period in order to consider certain inherent questions. Thus, at first I tried to understand how Canindé became a holy place by the narratives of miracles, the Church action and the devotees’ interpretations. Besides that, I focused on some peculiarities relating devotees’ concepts about the saints and the tactics for miracles attainment. Therefore, I talked about the miracles, that is, the needs presented by the pilgrims. This allowed us to perceive how they think and live deeply their daily historical experiences relating them with a concept of faith and protection. / O presente estudo objetiva discutir as experiências religiosas dos romeiros de São Francisco das Chagas de Canindé (CE), buscando apreender as formas (práticas) pelas quais vêm se relacionando com o sagrado, com destaque para a escrita de pedidos e suas finalidades. Este intuito surgiu, principalmente, do diálogo com cartas e fotografias que os devotos depositaram em Canindé pedindo, agradecendo ou narrando milagres. Seguindo estas escolhas e a disponibilidade das fontes, optei por não delimitar de forma rígida um recorte temporal. Desta forma, inicio pensando o processo de sacralização do espaço de Canindé permeado por narrativas de milagres, pela ação da Igreja e as interpretações dos romeiros, que vivenciam esse espaço reafirmando-o e resignificando-o. Desenvolvo uma abordagem histórica sobre as formas de argumentação dos devotos para com o santo e sobre os milagres, isto é, as necessidades e anseios apresentados pelos devotos. O que permite vislumbrar como pensam e vivenciam suas experiências cotidianas, e as relacionam com um imaginário de fé e de proteção historicamente situado.

This project seeks to determine, to what extent the culture of early Israel (1250-1000 BC) is similar to African cultures, more specifically, to that of the Lemba. However, a comparison between the cultures of early Israel and those of certain African tribes is not the primary objective in this case. This project is neither an anthropological study nor does it intend to mainly focus on the Lemba as such -though this may appear to be the case. This endeavour primarily fits into the ambit of Old Testament Studies. The investigation into the Lemba is meant to be subsidiary to the point of contingence between their culture and Old Testament customs and traditions, and how this information affects the interpretation of the Old Testament and its teaching in Africa. A number of comparisons between the early Israelite religion as reflected in the Old Testament and the Lemba are drawn. Though the qualitative research (inductive approach) is employed in the field work, the greatest part of the data on religious perspectives and practices is mediated by the theory of a phenomenological approach as advocated by Ninian Smart on matters of experience, mythology, ritual, and ethical/judicial dimensions. Therefore, the approach is also deductive. The Lemba is a very specific group with claims about Israelite/Judaic origins. Their early departure from Israel (according to them ca 586 BC) can mean that there are remnants of a very ancient type oflsraelite religion, now valuable when juxtaposed to that of early Israel. This study takes Lemba traditions seriously, but finally does not verify or falsify Lemba claims - but the outcomes in this thesis may take this debate a step further. Their claims make them special and extremely interesting to study from the point of view of oral cultures. Their oral culture is constitutive of their world-view and self-understanding or identity. It incorporates the role of oral traditions, history and historiography and parallels are drawn between orality in early Israelite and Lemba religions. The reciprocity between orality and inscripturation of traditions, yielding valuable information on what may have happened in the developent of traditions in Israel, are also attended to in this project. Nevertheless, this project is primarily a search for the understanding and relevance of the Old Testament in Afiica and is, therefore, a selective and not an exhaustive comparison between the Lemba and early Israel. And so, taking cognisance of the hermeneutic of contextualisation in Africa in particular, a teaching module syllabus for Old Testament Studies is developed, of which the very strands of religion among the Lemba and early Israel are constitutive for teaching Old Testament Studies in present-day African cultures (and perhaps elsewhere). / Biblical and Ancient Studies / D.

Text in English with abstracts in English and isiZulu / Poor adherence to their prescribed diet, medications and treatment contributes to increased mortality and morbidity in patients with end-stage renal disease. These patients must change their diet when receiving dialysis treatment, but cultural beliefs and practices can affect their adherence to the prescribed diet. The purpose of this qualitative, descriptive, exploratory study was to improve health education on prescribed diet adherence to patients living on haemodialysis at a haemodialysis unit in eThekwini Municipality. Data from a sample of 20 patients was collected using semi-structured interviews and analysed using qualitative content analysis. The findings revealed that haemodialysis patients’ prescribed diet adherence was influenced by cultural and religious views, and by family support. Food availability, patients’ geographical location and patients’ financial means hindered their adherence to their prescribed diet. A multi-disciplinary health care team including nurses, should be sensitive to patients’ different cultural beliefs and practices when providing health education. / Ukungabambeleli endleleni emisiwe yokudla, amakhambi nasekwelashweni kunomthelela ekwandiseni izimpawu zesifo sezinso esingapheli (ESRD) futhi kwandisa isibalo sabantu ababulawa yilesisifo.
