A epopeia Os Lusíadas (1572), de Luís de Camões, estrutura-se, historicamente, sobre o achamento da Índia e, miticamente, sobre as mitologias greco-latina e judaico-cristã. A presença dessas mitologias divergentes em Os Lusíadas estimula a elaboração de uma epopeia portuguesa chamada O Oriente (1814), cujo autor é o padre português José Agostinho de Macedo. O Oriente é uma releitura de Os Lusíadas, e seu processo composicional caracteriza-se por negar e remover a sacralidade da representação dos deuses greco-latinos, substituindo-os pelas divindades judaico-cristãs, que Macedo exaltará, e por representar a Vasco da Gama como um herói genuinamente cristão, pois, segundo Macedo, Camões não o fizera. O narrador de O Oriente substitui as divindades representadas por Camões, tais como Júpiter, Baco, Vênus, Marte, Morfeu e Tétis, por figuras tais como Deus, Satanás, o Serafim e São Tomé. O narrador aceita e mantém, no entanto, determinados personagens da mitologia greco-latina em sua epopeia, tais como Luso, Lisa e Ulisses, por exemplo. Nesse sentido, José Agostinho de Macedo alinha-se à representação de Os Lusíadas. O narrador de O Oriente filia seu herói, Vasco da Gama, ao cristianismo, e representa-o como o eleito de Deus para a difusão da fé cristã no Oriente. O narrador, portanto, pretende emendar esses aspectos da representação de Os Lusíadas. / The epic poem Os Lusíadas (1572), by Luís de Camões, is based on the historical discovery of India and on the Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian mythologies. The presence of these divergent mythologies in Os Lusíadas stimulates the elaboration of a Portuguese epic poem entitled O Oriente (1814), by the Portuguese priest José Agostinho de Macedo. O Oriente is a rereading of Os Lusíadas, and its compositional process is characterized by denying and removing the sacredness of the representation of the Greco-Roman gods, who are replaced by the Judeo-Christian deities the autor intends to exalt, and for representing Vasco da Gama as a genuine Christian hero, because, according to Macedo, Camões had not done that. The narrator of O Oriente replaces the deities represented by Camões, such as Jupiter, Bacchus, Venus, Mars, Morpheus and Thetis, with figures such as God, Satan, Seraphim, and St. Thomas. The narrator accepts and maintains, however, certain characters from Greco-Roman mythology in his epic poem, such as Luso, Lisa and Ulysses. In this regard, José Agostinho de Macedo aligns himself with the representation of Camões. The narrator of O Oriente associates his hero, Vasco da Gama, with Christianity and represents him as the chosen of God in order to spread the Christian faith in the East. The narrator, therefore, intends to fix aspects of the representation of Os Lusíadas.

Dentre os vários campos de interesse das Ciências da Religião, o sagrado e seu impacto nas culturas dos diversos povos e épocas, tem sido objeto de estudo para muitos que enveredam nesse campo tão vasto. Através de pesquisa bibliográfica, o presente trabalho, à luz das Ciências da Religião, se presta a fazer uma análise hermenêutica comparativa sobre a relação entre o poema babilônico da criação, Enuma Elish, e o relato bíblico da criação em Gênesis 1,12,4a. Esse estudo, que tem como base a Teologia Comparada, busca fazer uma análise sobre a influência que uma cultura exerce quando interage com outra. Pretende sinalizar algumas semelhanças e diferenças entre esses dois textos de culturas e épocas diferentes. Procura ainda ajudar o leitor a perceber de que maneira o mito pode ser entendido e de que forma ele pode ser empregado no campo científico. Após a análise do levantamento de dados, percebemos que há alguns elementos em comum entre os dois poemas. Dentre eles destacamos: a criação do universo, do firmamento, dos astros e do homem. Percebemos, portanto, que de fato, quando um povo interage com outro de cultura diferente da sua, acaba havendo uma influência mútua de um povo em relação ao outro. / Among the various fields of interest of the Religion Sciences, the sacred and its impact over the cultures of different peoples and ages, has been studied by many who go through that vast field. Through bibliographic studies, this project, under the lights of the Religion Sciences, intends to make an hermeneutics comparative analysis about the relationship between the Babylonian poem of Creation, Enuma Elish, and the biblical account of creation in Genesis 1. This study, which is based on Comparative Theology, seeks to analyze the influence that a culture has when interacting with others. It aims to identify some similarities and differences between these two texts from different cultures and times. It also seeks to help the reader to understand how the myth can be understood and how it can be employed in the scientific field. After analyzing the survey data, we realize that there are some elements in common between the two poems. Among them we highlight: the creation of the universe, the firmament, the stars and man. We see, therefore, that in fact, when people interact with another culture than theirs, it comes to happen a mutual influence of one people over the other.

Orkney is currently home to over 400 wind turbines and a growing marine energy industry, developing cutting edge technology for what could be called a global energy transition. Situated off the north tip of the Scottish mainland, the archipelago is also home to a long-standing local population of just over 21,000 inhabitants. In fact, habitation in these islands stretches back over 5,000 years, a connection expressed by the local population. This thesis rests at the intersection of these two points of interest: energy and locality. Drawing from ethnographic fieldwork conducted between October 2013 and October 2014, this thesis analyses the communication of perceptions of renewable energy in the archipelago. It takes into consideration the specificity of one particular network of relations: the individuals employed or otherwise involved in the development and production of this energy while situating the specificity of these perceptions within the larger body of residents. Here, collective history, the importance of place, and maintenance of identity are intimately tied up in the range of perspectives present, as well as within the very promotion of the industry. The relationship between individual perception and collective affirmation, the existence of multiple spheres of realities, the simplification of realities in the communication meaning, and the relationship between nodes of interaction are all analysed. While far from a constantly discussed occurrence, the presence of renewable energy in Orkney has provided residents with a mobilising force, an impetus for discussions of the self, of identity and belonging, of the importance of place, and of the relationship between the past, present and future.

A perspectiva de análise deste estudo levou em consideração o caráter híbrido da obra assentada em uma dimensão dupla em que o tecido histórico e o tecido mítico se conjugam para armar um discurso literário, alegórico, crítico, intertextual e paródico que relê, ao mesmo tempo, a história factual do Brasil e sua relação com Portugal no período de quase cinco séculos (1500 a 1999), e o próprio mito do vampiro aclimatado ao solo brasileiro da trama. Como elementos imprescindíveis à compreensão do tecido híbrido da narrativa, foram abordadas nessa pesquisa algumas questões como: fronteiras do discurso histórico e mítico ficcional, procedimentos de hibridização de gêneros e personagens mítico-literárias, releitura da história cultural brasileira e da construção da identidade nacional, tradição e rupturas. Assim, o estudo realizado teve como enfoque principal a compreensão da releitura do mito clássico do vampiro por Ivan Jaf em uma nova roupagem capaz de transformá-lo em um mito à brasileira, por meio do qual o autor realizou um percurso narrativo que discutiu questões identitárias, culturais e sociais pertinentes ao homem brasileiro, além de ter dialogado e agregado novos elementos à tradição literária vampiresca. / This research analyzed the reading about the vampire’s myth in the novel O vampiro que descobriu o Brasil (1999), written by the Brazilian writer Ivan Jaff, in which the author presents, through a viewpoint of an immortal, a critical revision during the five hundred years of Brazilian History. The perspective of analyze in this study took into consideration the hybrid features of the novel, that are based on a double dimension, in which the historic and the mythic elements get together in order to form a literary discourse, with allegory, critics, intertextuality and parody that show, at the same time, the Brazilian history and its connection to Portugal for about five centuries (from 1500 to 1999), and the own vampire’s myth integrated with the Brazilian setting. Thus, in order to understand the hybrid aspects of the narrative, this dissertation discussed some issues connected to following ideas: borders of the historic discourse and fictional myth; procedures of genre hybridization and mythic-literary characters; re-reading of the cultural Brazilian history, and the formation of the national identity; tradition and ruptures. Hence, this study had as its main focus the comprehension of the re-reading about the classical vampire’s myth developed by Ivan Jaf, related to a new concept that would be able to turn it in a Brazilian myth. Therefore, the writer established a narrative procedure that discussed identity, cultural and social issues concerned to the Brazilian man; moreover, it was added new elements to the literary tradition about vampires.

Civilisation et désert : deux termes qui donnent l’impression en apparence d’être antithétiques, mais ils sont cependant et ont souvent été liés étroitement ensemble dans l'imaginaire aussi bien que dans la pratique. Depuis L'Épopée de Gilgamesh, en passant parles textes antiques et les traditions religieuses ou bien par les variations successives menant aux «découvertes géographiques», à la «modernité» et à la «mondialisation», l’idée de la civilisation a maintes fois trouvé son inverse, son révélateur et son complément dans la référence qu’elle donne au désert : quand la civilisation échoue à conquérir et à urbaniser le désert, c’est à ce même désert qu’elle retourne. Cette interaction des représentations autour des variantes contemporaines du rapport civilisation/désert n’a cessé de donner une inspiration importante depuis deux siècles à une littérature abondante sur le désert,dans laquelle la relation de ce dernier à l’espace civilisé constitue non seulement une sorte de confrontation entre deux espaces, mais aussi entre deux mondes, Occident et Orient,entre deux temps mythiques, deux visions du destin humain. Cet imaginaire se projette aussi dans les représentations des utopies– anciennes et nouvelles – pour mettre en valeur le désert.La présente thèse se donne pour objet de mettre l’accent sur l’opposition civilisation/désert à l’époque moderne. Notre lecture structuro-idéologique et socio-historique s’efforce d’identifier, pour chacun de nos quatre textes, les procédés sémiotiques et poétiques mobilisés en vue de mettre en lumière cette opposition, à savoir les mécanismes de sa représentation, de son fonctionnement et de sa mutation.Partant d’une analyse du contraste entre le discours colonial et le discours postcolonial,notre approche comparatiste repose sur la lecture de quatre oeuvres romanesques postcoloniales appartenant à quatre littératures mondiales traitant de l'opposition civilisation / désert tout en révélant la misère de l'Homme primitif face à tant de tentatives de l’Homme civilisé de l’arracher de son milieu. Les quatre oeuvres qui superposent l’Histoire à la fiction s’articulent sur une vision dénonciatrice de la civilisation moderne et sur une vision idéaliste et utopique du désert et du nomadisme. / Civilization and desert: two words which in appearance appear to be antithetical, and yet they are and have often been tightly linked in the imaginary as well as in practical experience. From The Epic of Gilgamesh, to ancient texts and religious traditions or even to the successive variations leading to "geographic discoveries", "modernity" and to "globalization", the idea of civilization has many times met its opposite, its enlightener, and its point of reference that it gives to the desert. For two centuries, this interaction in the representations about the contemporary variations of the connection civilization/desert has been continuously providing an important inspiration to an extensive literature on the desert. The latter's relationship with the civilized space not only sets up some confrontation between two spaces but also between two worlds, the Western and Eastern ones, between two mythical times, two different visions of human destiny. This imaginary experience is also shown through the representations of the utopias ancient or recent to highlight the desert. The opposition civilization/desert in modern times forms the subject matter of this thesis. Our structural-ideologicaland socio-historical reading endeavors to identify, through all four texts, the semiotic and poetic processes. These processes are featured in order to bring this opposition to the fore, which are the mechanism of its representation, functioning and mutation. On the basis of an analysis of the contrast between the colonial discourse and the postcolonial one, our comparative approach hinges on the reading of the four postcolonial novelistic works belonging to four world pieces of literature which deal with the opposition civilization/desert while featuring the misery of the primitive Man facing so many attempts of the civilized Man to force him out of his background. The four works superposing History on fiction are structured on a denunciatory vision of modern civilization and on a utopian and idealistic vision of the desert and of nomadism.

The research is a result of the questions made around the implicit symbols in the image of the medium Chico Xavier, starting in the places used and appropriated for him in the spread of Christian Spiritism in Uberaba/MG. It has as objetive to define the contents in the created places for this kind of religion involving the person of the medium that consists in understanding the processes of sacred places, even after his death. The central topic of this research is the figure of myth. It takes as fundamental focus of analysis some writers of places and we change the same anallysis of social and sacred places, procedure shared with different social sciences. After analysing the structures, the forms and the contents of the analysis of place, we emphasize the processes of social organization until we reach the real position of the people who continue the work of myth and the organizations, there is, the appropriate place, like: the house, the museum, the book shop, the spiritual center, the assistential group and even the mausoleum. Thus, is was possible to decode the places from the uses and appropriations established by the medium and his public demostrating the social practices in the structure of Spiritism. However, it is evident the image of myth, we try to analyse the legacy of the medium and in his followers, besides the forms of appropriations of these places and of the spread of his teaching. / A pesquisa é resultado de questionamentos realizados em torno do simbolismo implícitos na imagem do médium Chico Xavier, a partir dos espaços usados e apropriados por ele na difusão do Espiritismo Cristão em Uberaba/MG. Tem como objetivo decifrar os conteúdos dos espaços criados a partir da doutrina espírita, envolvendo a pessoa do médium que consistem em compreender os processos de sacralização de espaços, mesmo após a sua morte. O problema central da pesquisa em questão é o espaço do mito. Tomam-se como ponto fundamental de análise alguns teóricos do espaço e desloca-se a mesma análise do espaço social para o espaço sagrado; procedimento este compartilhado por diversas correntes das ciências sociais. Analisadas as estruturas, as formas e os conteúdos da unidade de análise do espaço, enfatizam-se os processos de organização social, até atingir as posições concretas das pessoas que continuam a obra do mito e das organizações, ou seja, os espaços apropriados como: a casa e/ou museu, a livraria, o centro espírita, o grupo assistencial e, por fim, o mausoléu. Assim, foi possível decifrar os lugares a partir dos usos e apropriações estabelecidas pelo médium e por seu público demonstrando as práticas sociais demandadas na estruturação do Espiritismo. Embora seja evidente sua imagem de mito, busca-se analisar nos legados do médium e em seus seguidores, além das formas de apropriação desses espaços e da difusão de seus ensinamentos. / Mestre em Geografia

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The researches that have been conducted concerning Waly Salomão´s poetry aimed to analyze characteristics that demonstrate the presence of polyphony in his works, as well as dialogism, the assemble of many voices. The thought of myth as a part of Waly´s poetic is something that has not yet been studied, in other words, it is an unprecedented discussion. Wally´s poetry has many traditions, and it is noticeable in his writing the presence of mythological symbolism, classical tradition evocation and images that do not fade away within time, by the opposite, they are renewed because they are myths that repeat themselves and endure. By the light of that prospect, the aim of this dissertation is to analyze Wally´s Salomão work focusing mainly on Me segura qu´eu vou dar um troço e Algaravias, analyzing how the myth influences the poet´s verses who nominate himself as sailormoon, and reveals archetypes and images which are part of collective imagination and which serve on his poetic identity quest that is multiple. It is perceived, primarily, a fascination for mythical water in which the poet sails through different routes, reactivating myths and also giving them a new contemporary meaning. In order to fulfill these goals, among other authors, the works of Mircea Eliade, Gaston Bachelard and Gilbert Durand will be largely considered as theoretical background, attempting to identify mythical elements, archetypes and images from the collective imagination. Thereby, associating myth and poetry, the poet from Bahia, Wally Salomão, builds a writing that surpasses time barriers and prints innovation to his poetry, joining fragments from tradition that dilute in his verses. / As pesquisas que foram feitas sobre a poesia de Waly Salomão se propuseram a analisar as características que evidenciam a presença da polifonia em suas obras, assim como o dialogismo, o entrecruzamento de vozes. Pensar no mito como parte do fazer poético de Waly Salomão é algo que ainda não foi estudado, ou seja, trata-se de uma discussão inédita. Em sua poesia há várias tradições, sendo possível perceber nela a presença de simbologias míticas a evocação da tradição clássica e de imagens que não se apagam com o tempo, mas renovam-se, pois são mitos que se repetem e que perduram. Diante dessa perspectiva, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a obra de Waly Salomão, centrando-se principalmente nas obras Me segura qu eu vou dar um troço e Algaravias, analisando como o mito permeia os versos do poeta autodenominado marujeiro da lua, revelando arquétipos e imagens que fazem parte do imaginário coletivo e servem como busca de sua identidade poética, que é múltipla. Percebe-se, primordialmente, um fascínio pela água mítica, já que o poeta navega por variadas rotas, reativando mitos e dando a eles um novo sentido na contemporaneidade. Para atingir tais objetivos serão consideradas como essenciais para a pesquisa teórica as obras de Mircea Eliade, Gaston Bachelard, Gilbert Durand, entre outros pertinentes à pesquisa, para que sejam identificados elementos míticos, arquétipos e imagens do imaginário coletivo. Dessa forma, associando mito e poesia, o poeta baiano Waly Salomão constrói uma poesia que ultrapassa as barreiras do tempo, imprime inovação ao seu fazer poético, unindo os estilhaços da tradição e diluindo-os em seus versos. / Mestre em Teoria Literária

A epopeia Os Lusíadas (1572), de Luís de Camões, estrutura-se, historicamente, sobre o achamento da Índia e, miticamente, sobre as mitologias greco-latina e judaico-cristã.
