Sincretismo afro-católico: entre Oxun e Nossa Senhora do Carmo

Mário Carmelo Barbosa dos Santos 00 December 2009 (has links)
A matriz religiosa brasileira tem no sincretismo religioso uma das suas características mais marcantes. Fruto de processos de interação e conflito do substrato cultural indígena, europeu e africano. Uma das mais ricas e complexas variações deste processo é o sincretismo afrocatólico, vivido por milhares de brasileiros. Essa Dissertação que tem como tema Sincretismo Afro-Católico: entre Oxun e Nossa Senhora do Carmo, tem a cidade de Goiana, em Pernambuco, como foco de sua pesquisa. Ela busca compreender a experiência sincrética de alguns fiéis do Candomblé, entre o orixá Oxun e Nossa Senhora do Carmo, partindo da contribuição do sincretismo afro-católico a partir da teoria dos arquétipos de C. G. Jung, proposta por Pedro Iwashita, como uma contribuição para a compreensão, de forma interdisciplinar do fenômeno do sincretismo afro-católico / One of the major characteristics of the brazilian religious matrix is religious sincretism. This is a result of the process of conflict and interaction of indigenous, European and African cultural currents. Afro-catholic syncretism, lived by thousands of brasilians, is one of the more valuable and complex variations of this process, Afro-catholic syncretism: between Oxun and Our Lady of Carmo, the subject of this dissertation, focuses its research on the city of Goiana, Pernambuco. Beginning with the contribution of afro-catholic syncretism based on the theory of archetypes of C. G. Jung as presented by Pedro Iwashita, this study seeks to understand the sincretic experience of the some of the devotees of the orixá Oxun and Our Lady of Carmo. The results of this dissertation contribute to the comprehension, in an interdisciplinary manner, of the phenomena of afro-catholic syncretism

A híbrida Barquinha: uma revisão da história, das principais influências religiosas e dos rituais fundamentais / The hybrid Barquinha : a review of history, major influences and fundamentals rituals

No. of bitstreams: 1 Ricardo Assarice dos Santos.pdf: 1434727 bytes, checksum: 4730a0dedbbf9e1d836fe58c3addb6cd (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-12-11 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Fundação São Paulo - FUNDASP / Created in 1945 in Rio Branco (AC) by Daniel Pereira de Mattos (1888-1958), the Barquinha is a highly complex and little studied religious movement that is influenced by black, white and amerindian religious matrices. Through the drinking of the Daime (ayahuasca), rituals of mediumistic trance, intense Christian devotion, altruistic ideals, and an ample marine and esoteric imagery, this ayahuasca line flourished in several ramifications after the death of its founder and, although discreet, has been gaining adherents of diverse brazilian localities and social contexts. The main objective of this work was to identify and present the history; the main religious influences and the fundamental rituals of the Barquinha line. In addition, the dissertation sought to point out and expand the main concepts used by the researchers of this religious movement, in order to foster some reflections previously presented by them. For this, a systematic bibliographical survey was carried out on the Barquinha literature, which contents had been analyzed and organized in four chapters, in the light of the concepts like symbolic anthropology, from Clifford Geertz, and cultural hybridism, from Peter Burke. In addition to updating the literature on the timeline of this religious movement and identifying its main rituals and religious influences, it was possible to recognize that most of the authors who study Barquinha use the concepts of syncretism and eclecticism to define this religious movement. It was possible to note that most of the authors emphasize the use of ayahuasca in their reviews, not reliably highlighting the influence of esotericism on the symbolic constitution of this religious movement. Finally, through the concept of cultural hybridization, it was possible to broaden the understanding of the constituent processes of this religious movement / Criada em 1945 em Rio Branco (AC) por Daniel Pereira de Mattos (1888-1958), a Barquinha é um movimento religioso altamente complexo e pouco estudado que tem influência de matrizes religiosas negras, brancas e ameríndias. Através da beberagem do Daime (ayahuasca), rituais de transe mediúnico, intensa devoção cristã, ideais altruístas, e um amplo imaginário marinho e esotérico, esta linha ayahuasqueira floresceu em diversas ramificações após a morte de seu fundador e, apesar de discreta, vem ganhando adeptos de diversas localidades brasileiras e contextos sociais. O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar e apresentar a história, as principais influências religiosas e os rituais fundamentais da linha da Barquinha. Complementarmente, a dissertação buscou apontar e ampliar os principais conceitos utilizados pelos pesquisadores deste movimento religioso, a fim de fomentar algumas reflexões apresentadas previamente pelos mesmos. Para tal, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico sistemático acerca da literatura da Barquinha, cujo conteúdo fora analisado e organizado em quatro capítulos, à luz dos conceitos de antropologia simbólica, de Clifford Geertz, e do hibridismo cultural de Peter Burke. Além de atualizar a literatura acerca da linha do tempo deste movimento religioso e identificar seus principais rituais e influências religiosas, foi possível reconhecer que a maioria dos autores que estudam a Barquinha utilizam os conceitos de sincretismo e ecletismo para definir este movimento religioso. Foi possível notar que a maioria dos autores enfatiza o uso da ayahuasca em suas análises, não destacando, de maneira fidedigna, a influência do esoterismo na constituição simbólica deste movimento religioso. Por fim, através do conceito de hibridização cultural, foi possível ampliar a compreensão dos processos constituintes deste movimento religioso

Dying to be seen : an interpretive study of porcelain portraits on grave markers

Brooks, Patrick J. 16 September 2010 (has links)
This article explores the roles that porcelain portraits on grave markers play in identity construction and performance. Through semi-structured interviews, the biographies of five individuals are examined and then compared to determine norms or differences regarding their views on sepulchral photographs as a form of memorialization. While the decision to display a gravestone portrait could simply be a long-standing cultural practice, this interpretivist study indicates that the role of photo-tombstones is negotiated through a hybridization process involving religious syncretism, cultural convergence, or familial expectations. The role of photography as material culture is also examined, both as a metonymic replacement for the deceased and for its links to memory recall and remembrance.

Devoção e resistência: as Irmandades de Homens Pretos de Goiana (1830-1850)

Maria de Jesus Santana Silva 14 January 2009 (has links)
As Irmandades de Homens Pretos de Goiana se apresentam como núcleos de devoção e resistência das tradições religiosas e culturais africanas. O presente trabalho acadêmico procura considerá-las sob três perspectivas: das diversas formas de representações coletivas e manifestações do sagrado; das táticas de controle social das autoridades católicas e civis e do sincretismo enquanto estratégia de resistência mítico-simbólica. Nessa nossa reconstrução histórico-religiosa, as Irmandades de Homens Pretos são nichos de manifestações do sagrado e das reminiscências culturais dos negros, cuja expressão é evidenciada nas festas, procissões e nos enterros por elas promovidos. O forte controle exercido pela Igreja e o Estado sobre essas Irmandades obrigou o negro a criar, a partir das representações coletivas, dispositivos de organização em que pudessem se incorporar, preservando seu ethos, ao mesmo tempo em que permitiu a elaboração de um território sócio-cultural de resistência e demarcador de identidades. Nessa perspectiva, o sincretismo vivenciado nas Irmandades de homens de cor foi uma presença marcante na manutenção das tradições africanas / The Black Brotherhoods of Goiana were advocates of devotion and defenders of religious and african cultural traditions. This study considers them under three perspectives: as diverse forms of collective representations and expressions of the sacred; as a technique in societal control by catholic authorities; and, as syncretism while simultaneously being a mythical-symbolical strategy of resistance. In this historical reconstruction, the Black Brotherhoods reveal their sacred and black cultural reminiscences in their feasts, processions and funerals. The strong control exercised by both Church and State over the Brotherhoods forced the black man to create collective representations, ways to organize so that he could preserve his ethos. This happened at the same time when it was possible for him to affirm his identity in a social and cultural space as resistance. In this perspective, syncretism, as lived in the Black Brotherhoods, was a significant force in maintaining african traditions
