La présente recherche porte sur l’histoire des émotions positives et de leurs représentations en Grèce archaïque. L’histoire des émotions, qui a pu bénéficier d’un changement de paradigme ayant mis en évidence le lien entre émotions et cognition, se fonde sur l’hypothèse que le sens des scénarios affectifs varie selon les contextes historiques et culturels. L’objectif était ainsi de dégager le sens prêté aux émotions positives, d’Homère à Hérodote, à partir des témoignages disponibles. Le type d’analyse mis en œuvre est à la fois sémantique et historique, mais il s’appuie également sur les ressources de l’anthropologie et de la psychologie. Trois dossiers principaux jalonnent cette exploration : l’épopée homérique, la poésie archaïque à l’époque de l’émergence des cités et les nouvelles formes de la sagesse, religieuse et philosophique. Comment les émotions positives se définissent-elles dans ce cadre ? Leur forme et leurs fonctions se transforment-elles ? Quel usage en fait-on et quel rôle leur prête-t-on dans la cité ou, plus précisément, au banquet ? Quel discours suscitent-elles, du point de vue éthique, politique ou philosophique ? À partir d’une distinction sémantique fondamentale, qui paraît structurer le champ lexical du plaisir et de la joie, les nouvelles représentations des émotions positives sont envisagées en lien avec les bouleversements sociaux, politiques et religieux ayant affecté l’époque archaïque. / The present research regards the history of positive emotions and their representations in archaic Greece. The history of emotions, benefiting from a new trend, which underlined the relations between emotions and cognition, is based on the hypothesis that the sense of the affective episodes depends on the historical and cultural contexts. Consequently, the aim was to unveil the positive emotions’ meaning, from Homer to Herodotus, using the available evidence. The type of analysis that was used is at the same time semantic and historical, but it rests, as well, upon anthropology and psychology. Three main fields have been looked through for this study: the Homeric epic, the archaic poetry from the time of the first poleis and the new forms of wisdom, religious or philosophical. How these positive emotions have been defined? Were their form and functions subject to change? Which role is given to them in the polis or at the banquet? Which type of discourse have they provoked, at the ethical, political or philosophical levels? Beginning with a semantic dichotomy, that seems important in the lexical field, the new representations of the positive emotions are considered in close relationship with the social, political and religious changes of the archaic period.

[pt] Urge, em um mundo onde a pluralidade é percebida com mais intensidade, discutir novos parâmetros para a prática missionária. Os contextos indígenas, que veem de um longo processo de resistência aos modelos tradicionais de evangelização, despontam no novo cenário religioso, não mais como destinatários da salvação, mas como portadores da revelação, reivindicando critérios baseados na alteridade, diversidade e diálogo. É preciso repensar como comunicar a fé em Jesus Cristo e sua salvação em uma cultura específica, dado que o tão aclamado processo de globalização é ambíguo, pois, pese a tentativa de produzir uma homogeneidade cultural, tem gerado, paradoxalmente, movimentos identitários organizados e pulverizados, de distintos matizes. É o caso da cultura quéchua, que, para alguns, está em processo de desaparecimento, e, para outros, está se reinventando. Como estabelecer um diálogo entre essas minorias e a fé cristã, com vistas a um amadurecimento do processo de inculturação em curso? Quais seriam os elementos revelacionais na cultura quéchua e como enriqueceriam o cristianismo como expressão da fé cristã? Essas foram algumas perguntas que nortearam esta tese. Não temos a pretensão de resolver todo o processo de inculturação da fé entre os quéchuas. Mas buscamos contribuir para o diálogo e a missão entre os quéchuas, aprofundando a reflexão sobre as consequências do encontro entre o Evangelho e as culturas, no sentido de reconhecer as riquezas da cultura e da religião local como provenientes de Deus e torná-las comum a todos. Esta tese busca ser uma contribuição e reconhecimento ao esforço da teologia índia, refletindo sobre a inculturação entre os quéchuas, ao mesmo tempo em que se revela uma defesa e uma valorização das culturas autóctones indígenas. A tese foi organizada em três grandes capítulos com subdivisões demarcadas. O primeiro capítulo gira em torno do eixo histórico-cultural quéchua. Apresenta a riqueza da cultura e as especificidades da religião quéchua, tendo a festa Inti Raymi como pano de fundo e expressão de fé. Expõe as categorias do pensamento andino e como os quéchuas estruturam seu Cosmos (Pacha). O segundo capítulo, propõe uma teologia cristã que favoreça o diálogo e o reconhecimento revelacional de Deus nas culturas e nas religiões. Gira em torno do eixo teológico. O terceiro, gira em torno do eixo dialógico-missionário. Analisa como seria missionar entre os quéchuas a partir dessa matriz dialogal, evangelizando e sendo evangelizado pelo outro. Inculturar é, também, dialogar com as bases religiosas de outra cultura. / [en] It is urgent in a world where plurality is an intensely perceived reality, to discuss new standards for the missionary practice. The indigenous contexts, fruit of a long process of resistance to the traditional models of evangelism, generate in the new religious scene new modes of presence - not anymore as receivers of salvation but as vehicles of revelation, claiming new standards based on alterity, diversity, and dialogue. It is necessary to think over the ways to communicate the faith in Jesus Christ into specific cultures. Necessity still more urgent in a world which faces a ambiguous globalization process that, on one side, offer a kind of cultural homogenization and, on other side, generates new identity movements – so diverse, fragmented and plural. That is the case of the Quechua culture. For some interpreters it is on the verge of disappearance and, for others, it is reinventing itself. How to establish a dialogue between these minorities and the Christian faith? How to perform it in a new mode of enculturation and maturity? What would be the revelation elements in the Quechua culture and how would they enrich the Christianity as an expression of true Christian faith? These have been the questions asked all along this dissertation. We do not have the pretension to solve and present the whole process of enculturation among the Quechuas. Instead, we intent to contribute to the dialogue and mission among the Quechuas by deepening the reflection about the consequences of the encounter between Gospel and culture, trying to recognize the riches of native culture and religion as originating from God himself and trying to make them manifest to all readers. Therefore, this dissertation is a contribution and a token to the efforts of Indigenous theologies, by reflecting on the enculturation among the Quechuas and, at the same time, offering a defense and pledge to their autochthones cultures. The dissertation structures itself around three chapters with several subsections. The first chapter deals with the cultural history of the Quechua people. It presents the riches of their culture as also as the peculiarities of their religion, whose main expression and background is the Inti Raymi Festival. It describes the categories of Andean thought and the ways the Quechua organize their Cosmos (Pacha). The second one proposes a Christian theology that promotes the dialogue and the recognition of the presence of God’s revelation in all cultures and religions. The third one revolves around the dialogue-mission axis. Presents modes of mission among the Quechuas based on dialogue, understanding the evangelism as a give-and-receiving process. It understands enculturation as a formal dialogue with the religious foundations of the culture of the other.
