No Brasil Colonial, inseriu-se ao catolicismo popular difundido pelas Irmandades religiosas negras, sobretudo em Minas Gerais, onde ainda hoje são executados os Congados e Reinados. Compreender as interfaces das experiências religiosas a partir de um estudo de caso específico, o Congado de Bela Vista de Minas, constitui-se o objetivo desta pesquisa. Apesar de uma condução cristã católica, as experiências religiosas dos congadeiros belavistanos, expressas em seus rituais e narrativas, trazem relações com elementos que extrapolam os contornos do Catolicismo Apostólico Romano. Além da busca pelo sagrado, através dos seus festejos de devoção a Nossa Senhora do Rosário, os participantes vivenciam o deslocamento de identidades individuais e coletivas. Assim, através dos trabalhos de campo, realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas, consultas às fontes primárias, descrição etnográfica e revisão bibliográfica, nesta dissertação aborda-se, principalmente, as temáticas que envolvem o sincretismo religioso e as identidades religiosas. / The contact between European Christianism and African religiosities took place prior to the African Diaspora, developing into an African Christianism. In Colonial Brazil, it was inserted into the popular Catholicism spread by the black religious Brotherhoods, most of all in Minas Gerais, where to this day the Congados and Reinados are still carried out. To understand the interfaces of the religious experiences as from a specific case study, the Congado de Bela Vista de Minas, constitutes this research’s purpose. While having a Christian Catholic guidance, the religious experiences of the congadeiros from Bela Vista, expressed in their rituals and narratives, have connections with elements that go beyond the contours of Roman Apostolic Catholicism. Additionally to the pursuit of the holy, through their festivities in devotion to Our Lady of the Rosary, the partakers experience the dislocation of individual and collective identities. Thus, through fieldworks, execution of semi-structured interviews, consults to primary sources, ethnographic description and bibliographic review, this thesis addresses, mainly, the thematic involving religious syncretism and religious identities.

From this consideration emerges a significant problematic how to understand these changes? Why a scenario before highly resistant to change, nowadays it is opened to the modern winds allowing the recovery of its religious forms? Now, the construction of new identities and the reordering of religious standards can be understood from the phenomenon of religious transit, considering it is possible to identify in the movement of individuals a dynamic that establish changes in both institutional and litur-gical character of the groups, as well as in living of practice of the faithful, encouraging original and provisional symbolic systems. Given the multiplicity of supply, the subjects have a constant mobility in a continuous process of redefinition, forming ephemeral mosaics that are distinguished in multiple colors, shapes, space, demands, motivations, behaviors, interests, habitus, traditions, symbols, rules, strategies, tastes and combinations. From the postulates of the Religious Sciences, this research proposes to examine this event as the universe of observation with the Evangelical Assembly of God Ministry Sao Bernardo do Campo. It aims to demonstrate, through the interpretation of the data set ob-tained in field research correlated with the theoretical foundations, the rebuilding of religious forms and new institutional identities developed by individuals from mobility; to establish a connection between the elements and indicators of the research and the phenomenon characterized to identify what are the motivations of gender, class, generational and ethnic group for the transit of men and women who move in many different alternatives to this religious group and, given this framework, to understand how the religious institution absorbs the flow of people. / O campo religioso brasileiro apresenta, em sua configuração atual, uma formatação identitária extremamente diversa daquela observada em décadas anteriores. A partir dessa consideração, emerge uma problemática significativa - como compreender essas mudanças? Por que um cenário, antes extremamente resistente a transformações, agora se abre aos ventos modernizantes permitindo a recomposição de suas formas religiosas? Ora, a construção de novas identidades e a reordenação dos padrões religiosos podem ser compreendidas a partir do fenômeno do trânsito religioso, considerando ser possível iden-tificar na movimentação dos sujeitos uma dinâmica que estabelece alterações, tanto no caráter institucional e litúrgico dos grupos, bem como na vivência prática dos / das fiéis, promovendo inéditos e provisórios sistemas simbólicos. Diante da multiplicidade de oferta, os sujeitos apresentam uma mobilidade incessante num processo de ressignificação permanente, formando efêmeros mosaicos nos quais se distinguem múltiplas cores, formas, espaços, demandas, motivações, comportamentos, interesses, habitus, tradições, símbolos, disposições, estratégias, gostos e combinações. A partir dos postulados das Ciências da Religião, essa pesquisa propõe-se a analisar esse evento tendo como universo de observação a Igreja Evangélica Assembleia de Deus, Ministério São Bernardo do Campo. Objetiva demonstrar, mediante a interpretação do con-junto de dados obtidos em pesquisa de campo correlacionado com os fundamentos teóricos, a recomposição das formas religiosas institucionais e as novas identidades desenvolvidas pelos sujeitos a partir da mobilidade; estabelecer uma conexão entre os elementos indicadores da pesquisa e o fenômeno caracterizado para identificar quais são as motivações de gênero, classe, geracional e de etnia para o trânsito de homens e mulheres que circulam das mais diversas alternativas para esse grupo religioso e, considerando esse referencial, compreender como a instituição religiosa absorve esse fluxo de pessoas.

Na pré-história essa relação se dava, essencialmente, de forma a garantir a sobrevivência dos hominídeos, diante das intempéries da natureza. Num estágio mais avançado, houve uma intensificação dessa relação, uma vez que o homem das sociedades arcaicas passou a atribuir um sentido sagrado a tudo que estava ao seu redor, através das hierofanias. Veneravam-se deuses por intermédio de totens, extraídos do próprio meio ambiente. Com o advento das religiões de salvação, que tiveram no Cristianismo seu maior expoente, surgiu o elemento mediador entre o homem e o sagrado, representado, sobretudo, pelos profetas e sacerdotes. Por um longo tempo, as identidades religiosas possuíram um caráter mais fixo e permanente. Gradativamente, foi dando-se o processo de secularização da sociedade, fator que, dentre outros, ocasionou mudanças substanciais no campo religioso, impactando sobremaneira essas identidades. Os arautos do sagrado foram se transmutando. Com o aumento populacional, para se chegar até os fiéis tornou-se necessário o trabalho de mediadores mais portentosos: os veículos de comunicação. O foco de nossa pesquisa é a mediação televisiva e o peso que ela exerce na formação identitária religiosa na contemporaneidade. Deter-nos-emos na análise dos programas televangélicos, os quais representam anualmente cerca de cinco mil horas da programação dos canais abertos, conforme dados do OBITEL – Observatório Ibero-Americano da Ficção Televisiva. Nesse vasto universo, escolhemos como recorte empírico os programas Fala Que Eu Te Escuto (IURD/Rede Record) e Direção Espiritual (Igreja Católica/TV Canção Nova). Para interpretá-los, utilizamos princípios da Análise de Conteúdo, metodologia que tradicionalmente, desde a sua primeira aplicação, vem possibilitando a análise verticalizada de mensagens religiosas. / This paper deals with the changes that have come to man's relationship with the sacred, since the early days to the present. In prehistory this relationship occurred essentially to ensure the survival of the hominids in front the storms of nature. At a later stage, there was an intensification of this relationship, and the man of archaic societies began to assign a sacred meaning to everything that was around him, through hierophanies. Gods are worshiped through totems, taken from the environment itself. With the advent of religions of salvation, which had its greatest exponent in Christianity, arose the mediating element between man and the sacred represented mainly by the prophets and priests. For a long time, religious identities owned a character more fixed and permanent. Gradually occurred the process of secularization of society, a factor that, among others, led to substantial changes in the religious field, impacting greatly those identities. The heralds of the sacred were transmuting itself. With the increase of population, to reach to the faithful, became necessary the work of a more portentous mediator: the media. The focus of our research is the mediation televised and the weight it carries in the contemporary religious identity formation. We will consider in the analysis of tele-evangelicals programs, which represent annually about five thousand hours of open channels programming, according to the Obitel - Ibero-American Observatory of Fiction Television. In this vast universe, we have chosen as empirical cut the programs Fala que eu te escuto (IURD/ Rede Record) and Direção Espiritual (Catholic Church / TV Canção Nova). To dissect them we have used the principles of the Content Analysis, a methodology that traditionally, since its first application, is making possible a detailed analysis of religious messages.

Com base nessas quatro classes de questionamentos, a investigação observa as experiências religiosas referidas com a finalidade de inscrevê-las num espaço analítico que produza condições de inteligibilidade sobre modos alternativos de experiência humana do sagrado, sobre a configuração das identidades religiosas elaboradas em contextos urbanos contemporâneos, bem como sobre as negociações de realidade presentes nesses processos. / This research aims to investigate the meanings of religious experiences related to the practices of Quimbanda, based on analysis of the historical development and current situation of religion in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, aiming to relate and understand (i) the meanings contained in their rites and belief systems, (ii) social forms and the logic of symbolic interaction through which these experiences are organized, (iii) the reasons for its emergence in modern society, (iv) as well as the social implications of their integration and development in the afro-gaúcho scenario. Based on these four classes of questions, research notes referred to the religious experiences in order to include them in a space that produces analytical conditions of intelligibility on alternative modes of human experience of the sacred, about the configuration of the elaborate religious identities in contemporary urban contexts and negotiations of reality present in these processes.

La période pré moderne en Inde voit se développer la bhakti comme nouvelle religiosité distincte et dominer de façon quasi-totale la scène religieuse en Inde. Bien que nous n’avons pas atteint une masse critique des études qui établissent une incidence de la mystique musulmane sur la poésie dévotionnelle de Kabīr, ce papier de recherche aura pour objectif de démontrer l’existence d’un lien entre la bhakti et le soufisme indo-persan implanté depuis le sultanat de Delhi jusqu’à la fin de la période moghole en se concentrant sur une question : Dans quelle mesure les pratiques ascétiques du poète Kabīr se sont développées sous l'influence de l’idéologie et la mystique soufie? Il examine comment une figure de bhakti comme Kabīr a embrassé la conception soufie de la spiritualité dans un rapport d’emprunt et d’association intime sans modifier la généalogie hindoue de cette sensibilité dévotionnelle. Les mouvements bhakti et soufi du sous-continent n'ont pas seulement montré la quête d'un individu ou d'un groupe d'individus pour atteindre la connaissance, la grâce, ou l'unicité avec l'Être suprême, ils ont insufflé à la masse des dévots hindous et musulmans une voie unique afin de rejoindre la Réalité ultime en transcendant le phénomène des identités religieuses peu ou pas définies à cette époque d’hybridité religieuse et qui furent amplement forgées par l’idée du salut par la voie mystique indépendamment du concept de la religion tel que comprise par l’érudition moderne. / The pre-modern period in India sees the development of bhakti as a new and distinct religiosity and almost completely dominates the religious scene in India. Although we have not reached a critical mass of studies that establish an impact of Muslim mysticism on Kabīr's devotional poetry, this research paper will aim to demonstrate the existence of a link between bhakti and Indo-Persian Sufism implanted from the Delhi Sultanate to the end of the Mughal period by focusing on one question: To what extent did the ascetic practices of the poet Kabīr develop under the influence of Sufi ideology and mysticism? It examines how a bhakti figure like Kabīr embraced the Sufi conception of spirituality in a relationship of borrowing and intimate association without altering the Hindu genealogy of this devotional sensibility. The bhakti and Sufi movements of the subcontinent did not merely demonstrate the quest of an individual or group of individuals to attain knowledge, grace, or oneness with the Supreme Being, they instilled in the mass of Hindu and Muslim devotees a unique path to reach the Ultimate Reality by transcending the phenomenon of religious identities that were little or not defined in that era of religious hybridity and that were amply forged by the idea of salvation through the mystical path independently of the concept of religion as understood by modern scholarship.

This study presents general themes concerning identity preservation and identity formation among Afghan male refugees living in Sweden and who obtained Swedish citizenship. This study is based on an ethnographic survey of habits and practices of Afghan refugees living in Sweden who in a process of transition must adjust their previous values and expectations as they confront often hostile surroundings. While seeking to preserve their identity, their identity formations take place in the contextual realities and cultural influences existing in their host country Sweden. This study analyzes the narratives of Afghan refugees in Sweden to examine their sense of self. For the purpose of this research the definition of ‘identity’ is derived from the field of social psychology; specifically, the social identity theory. The social identity theory states that an individual’s self-concept is partially defined by the membership in a social group. The main finding of this research is that none of the men solely identify as Afghan. This is mainly because they left Afghanistan at a young age, encounter stereotypes and because Afghanistan is a fragmented and unsafe country. The hierarchy of salience theory and theories on multiple and hybrid identities are employed to demonstrate how they embrace different aspects of their identity at different times and in different situations. More specifically, the findings show that they embrace four strategies to do this: pragmatic, hybrid, religious and globalist. These four strategies show the hierarchy of salience.

Au Liban, les identités politiques jouent un rôle important et sont souvent liées aux identités religieuses. Le pays a été le lieu d’un brassage d’une multitude de civilisations et de cultures, et est aussi un espace de tensions politiques et religieuses. D’un point de vue méthodologique, cette thèse se fonde sur la lecture et l’analyse de la presse et des médias, de la littérature d’autres expressions artistiques. Dans une première partie, la thèse se concentre sur le cadre et la problématique de la thèse. On présente les différents partis politiques libanais, leurs idéologies, leur relation au pouvoir et leur histoire, en particulier à la suite des accords de Taëf (1989). Les institutions politiques et les pratiques politiques libanaises, ainsi que les formes d’engagement, sont aussi étudiées. De même, dans cette partie, la thèse étudie le rôle politique important des grandes familles libanaises, et elle s’attache au charisme des acteurs politiques libanais. La deuxième partie concerne le lien entre les identités politiques et les identités religieuses dans l’espace public libanais. Elle étudie les rapports entre la religion et la politique au Liban, ainsi que les implications religieuses des guerres. Enfin, cette partie analyse la répartition géographique de l’ancrage des identités religieuses et politiques dans le pays. Dans un troisième temps, la thèse fait porter l’analyse sur les expressions des identités politiques. Elle propose une approche de la représentation des identités politiques dans les médias, dans la fiction (cinéma, littérature, etc), dans la chanson et dans les arts plastiques.Enfin, la dernière partie se concentre sur la censure, importante au Liban, compte tenu de la multiplicité des pouvoirs, aussi bien politiques que religieux, qui s’exercent sur la communication. D’une part, il s’agit des différents types de censure et des formes qu’elle peut prendre (censure politique, censure religieuse, censure des programmes d’enseignement, censure des pratiques sociales quotidiennes, et autocensure), et d’autre part, il s’agit des processus de décision qui conduisent à la censure. Cette partie présente aussi les formes de résistance à la censure. / The Lebanese political identities have often been linked to the existing religious identities. Lebanon has known in fact a number of civilizations and cultures, and has continuously been a place of political and religious tensions.From a methodological point of view, this thesis is based on readings and analysis of the press and the media, in addition to the literature of different artistic expressions. In the first section, the thesis focuses on the problematic. We present the multiple Lebanese political parties, their ideologies, their relationship with power and their history, especially after the Taef agreement (1989). We also study the political institutions and the political practices in Lebanon, as well as the multiple forms of political engagement. The thesis also tackles the important role of the traditional Lebanese families and the charisma of politicians. In the second section, we study the link between the political identities and the religious identities in the Lebanese public space. It focuses on the different kinds of relations that bound those two identities, in addition to the religious implications of wars. Also, this section analyses the geographical distribution of the political and religious identities in the country.In section number three, the thesis highlights the expressions of the political identities. It suggests an approach to the representation of these political identities in the media, in the fiction (literature, cinema, etc), in the songs and in fine arts. Finally, the last section focuses on the censorship, important concept in Lebanon, in the presence of a number of political and religious powers that influence the process of communication. We will define censorship, and focus on different kinds of censorship (political censorship, religious censorship, invisible censorship). We will also highlight the procedures and laws that lead to censorship, and the different ways followed by journalists and artists to face it.

Since the creation of modern-day Iraq by the British Empire in 1920, the country’s state territorial structuring has been an ever-evolving source of political instability and conflict. Iraq’s ethnic and sectarian groups have been locked in a near constant struggle over questions of self-rule, shared rule, and secession. Consequently, the territorial model of federalism has never been far from political discussions, negotiations, and territorial disputes. Federalism was finally officially adopted in 2005, giving a new definition to Iraq’s territorial model. But while federalism seemed a natural means of managing Iraq’s long-standing ethno-sectarian divisions and was democratically ratified in a process that included most ethnic and sectarian groups, the model has failed to materialize, and territorial structure remains a major point of contention between the groups. The overarching aim of this dissertation is to shed light on two key questions. First, how have the dynamics between the major ethnic and sectarian groups of Iraq shaped the evolution of the country’s territorial structure from 1920 up to and beyond the federal constitution in 2005? Second, what can the trajectory of this evolution teach us about why federalism was adopted but has failed to materialize? I shall argue that Iraq’s territorial structuring over the past century has been systematically influenced by at least one of four “I”s: the groups’ ideas concerning territorial structuring, their conceptualizations of group identities, their definitions of group interests, and the influence of foreign actors. Focussing on the Shiite Arabs, the Sunni Arabs, and the Kurds, I will examine how these four factors have interacted to shape the territorial organization of Iraq over four key time periods: (i) the foundation of Iraq in 1920 to Saddam Hussein’s rise to the presidency in 1979, (ii) Saddam’s rule from 1979 to 2003, (iii) Saddam’s deposition in 2003 to the adoption of the federal constitution in 2005, and (iv) the post-constitutional period from 2005 to the present. I thus hope to explain how evolving inter-group dynamics over the past century have impacted the development of Iraq’s territorial structure, arguing that this sheds light on both the reference to federalism in the 2005 constitution and its subsequent failure to materialize. This dissertation thus demonstrates the powerful ways in which Iraq’s territorial structuring has been shaped by past trends in ethno-sectarian dynamics, putting us in a better position to understand the complexities of the country’s current territorial politics.
