À l'île de La Réunion, les mouvements pentecôtistes-charismatiques se développent depuis une quarantaine d’années. L'importance particulière qu'ils accordent à l'émotion religieuse exerce un rôle pivot dans leur capacité d'attraction. Favorisant les preuves tangibles de l'agir divin au détriment des dogmes, ils concourent à l'imprécision des croyances et à la fluidification des itinéraires religieux, ils contribuent à la poussée des individualismes religieux, ils encouragent la scissiparité ecclésiale. En ces différents éléments, ils mettent l'Église à l'épreuve. Néanmoins, une analyse fouillée de cette mouvance en société créole conduit à interroger cette relativisation des institutions, de la tradition, des médiations, dont elle se prévaut. Une enquête de terrain et le recueil d'entretiens mettent en lumière plusieurs facteurs paraissant construire l'expérience religieuse de type émotionnel : - la situation socio-historique insulaire tout d'abord, ainsi que les dynamiques religieuses qui ont contribué à la formation de groupements pentecôtistes et charismatiques concurrents suffisamment distincts pour ne pas être assimilés à un même milieu ; - les groupes auxquels les fidèles adhèrent ensuite qui codifient leurs pratiques et fabriquent leur « virtuosité » religieuse ; - le temps enfin, en vertu duquel l'itinéraire des individus enregistre différentes phases d'intensité variable. De ce fait, l'expérience religieuse est loin de rimer exclusivement avec effervescence, immédiateté, malléabilité. Elle comporte aussi sa part de régulation, de socialisation, de transmission. C'est au cœur de cette dialectique que s'inscrit cette étude en terre réunionnaise. / In Reunion Island, pentecostal and charismatic movements have been developing for forty years and their emotional aspect plays a pivotal role in their power of attraction. Encouraging tangible evidence of God’s actions at the expense of dogmas, they contribute to the imprecision of beliefs and the dispersion of religious itineraries, lead to an increase in individualism and encourage a tendency to scission in the Church. Because of all this, they put the church to the test. Nevertheless, an in-depth analysis of these movements in Creole society leads us to question the erosion of institutions, traditions and mediations it relies on. Organising a field survey and conducting interviews has made it possible to highlight several factors which seem to inspire religious experience of an emotional kind.- First, the socio-historical situation of the island, and the religious dynamics that have contributed to the formation of competing pentecostal and charismatic groups which are too different to be treated as part of the same environment.- Then, the groups joined by the faithful, which codify their practices and create their religious « virtuosity »- Finally time, because of which individuals itineraries show different phases of varying intensity. So, religious experience is far from being synonymous exclusively with excitement, immediacy and malleability. Control, socialization and transmission are also important part of it. This study conducted in Reunion Island is at the very heart of this dialectic.

A dialogue with the memories of emigration and immigration indicated the political, economical and social situation of the Azores in the period preceding those movements and gave away the reasons to why they took place. What was recovered indicates that the Holy Spirit Feast had an important catalyst role in the formation of immigrant communities established at Vila Carrão. The symbols and meanings of this feast are perceived to this day as one of the most important elements of the Azorean s immaterial culture, and have been shared by generations to the present time. This group s approach was to investigate an assembling of immigrants from their departure in the Azores, including means of transportations, relationships established prior and during the journey in terms of labor and family and finally the living conditions found in the booming city that was Sao Paulo. The dichotomy of supply versus demand and the search for people to work the factories, industries and trade, which promoted the process, is also analyzed here. The experiences in the city that welcomed them and several other elements coalesced help translate their life s trajectories, as they organized themselves in the district, how they were dispersed in Brazil and around the world, and especially how was the initiative of reestablishing ties with countrymen and building the House of the Azores, which led to the reinvention of traditions and the reformulation of the Holy Spirit Feast. By unveiling these social experiments, the reinterpretations translated a new profane-religious cultural tradition in a diverse environment that is the metropolis formed by a true mosaic of cultures / Esta investigação aborda as trajetórias dos imigrantes açorianos na cidade de São Paulo no período de 1950 a 1960, tentando recuperar processos de formação, transformação e ressignificação das representações culturais. Ao estabelecer o diálogo com as memórias da e/imigração, essas experiências indicaram as situações políticas, econômicas e sociais dos Açores compreendidas no período anterior ao recorte cronológico estabelecido, que influenciaram as motivações do processo emigratório. Diante dessas trajetórias, teve a Festa do Divino Espírito Santo um papel relevante enquanto evento catalisador da formação da comunidade dos emigrantes estabelecidos na Vila Carrão. Ao abordar a festa nos Açores, tecendo sua história, seus significados e simbologias ainda percebidos na contemporaneidade, verifica que se trata de um dos mais relevantes elementos da cultura imaterial açoriana, no qual se observam modismos, gerações e sensibilidades temporalmente. Diante do enfoque desse grupo de imigrantes, investiga-se o processo desde a saída dos Açores, compreendendo como vieram, quais as relações já estabelecidas no que tange às questões de trabalho, redes sociais e familiares e em quais condições de vida se reconstruíram numa cidade em franco crescimento. São Paulo, nessa dicotomia oferta versus demanda, buscava na mão de obra imigrante o trabalhado nas fábricas, indústrias e comércio, fomentando o processo. Frente a essas experiências na cidade que os acolhia, aglutinaram-se elementos capazes de traduzir suas trajetórias de vida, como se organizaram no bairro, como se dispersaram no Brasil e no mundo e principalmente como se deu a iniciativa de restabelecimento dos laços conterrâneos na reconstrução do grupo a partir da fundação da Casa dos Açores, que traduziu na reinvenção das tradições a reformulação da Festa do Divino Espírito Santo. Ao descortinar essas experiências sociais, as ressignificações foram traduzindo uma nova tradição cultural profanoreligiosa num ambiente múltiplo que é a metrópole, formadora de um verdadeiro mosaico de culturas

A qualitative approach was selected, aiming the use of some elements of a Thick Description cited by Geertz (1989) and some elements of the notion of genre of discourse from Bakhtin (2003). The data were collected, analyzed and interpreted considering the contextualization of them, through steps that implicated: a bibliographical, documental and archives survey, field research, interviews with various agents of the festivities, and musical transcriptions, analyses and interpretations. The results revealed that the Holy Spirit Festival and the congada from Niquelândia were built in a historic and current process of encounters and battles of representations among groups from different socio-cultural fields. Meanings and significances were related, so, not only with the festivals, but also with a hybrid musical complex, religious and profane, Afro-Brazilian and European, most considerable representation of the multiple identities that compose the agents of the two festivals studied. Therefore, it was possible to prove that the festivals and the music studied are a result of investment in the city of Niquelândia because they integrate identity processes in this scenario, processes implicated with battles of social representations which forces that these cultural manifestations happen separately, in two different dates and locations. / O objeto de estudo deste trabalho é a música integrante de duas manifestações culturais religioso-populares que acontecem de forma separada na histórica cidade de Niquelândia-GO, ao contrário do que se costuma observar em outras regiões do país e do estado: a Congada e a Festa do Divino, percebidas sob o enfoque das lutas de representações (CHARTIER, 1990) e dos processos identitários (HALL, 2006) que as forjaram e as tem ressignificado nessa trama sociocultural. Um enfoque de base qualitativa foi adotado, tendo em vista a utilização de alguns elementos de uma descrição densa mencionada por Geertz (1989) e de alguns elementos da noção de gênero do discurso de Bakhtin (2003). Os dados foram coletados, analisados e interpretados levando em consideração a contextualização dos mesmos, numa trajetória que implicou levantamento bibliográfico, documental e arquivístico, pesquisa de campo, realização de entrevistas com diferentes atores das festividades, transcrições, análise e interpretação musicais. Os resultados da pesquisa revelaram que a festa do Divino e a congada niquelandenses, de forma especial as músicas que as integram, foram construídas num processo histórico e atual de encontros e lutas de representações entre grupos pertencentes a esferas socioculturais distintas. Sentidos e significados foram relacionados, portanto, não somente às festas, mas também a um repertório musical híbrido, religioso e profano, afro-brasileiro e europeu, representativo de processos identitários efetivados por atores das duas festas estudadas. Assim, foi possível comprovar a pressuposição de que as festas e as músicas estudadas são fruto de investimento na cidade de Niquelândia porque integram processos identitários nesse cenário, processos esses implicados com lutas de representações sociais que fazem com que essas manifestações culturais aconteçam separadas, em datas e locais diferentes.

Niebuhr, John Gresham Machen, and T. M. Moore`s categorizations. It presents, in these categories of reactions to culture, the transformationist or conversionist point of view as the one to be preferred in this relationship. It identifies the reformer John Calvin as the main exponent and referential of conversionism. The key to the interpretation of the relationship of Christianity and culture is located in the doctrine of common grace. The dissertation draws attention to the heirs of Calvin`s thought, especially Abraham Kuyper, who was the main responsible for the popularization of the doctrine. It also considers the controversy involving the Christian Reformed Church due to internal disagreements around the doctrine of Common Grace. It concludes by demonstrating the theological formula that present-day Calvinists have articulated Concerning this doctrine, reasserting it as the best way to see the relationship of Christianity and culture. / Aborda o relacionamento do Cristianismo e a Cultura a partir das categorizações de Richard H. Niebuhr, John Gresham Machen e T. M. Moore. Apresenta nessas categorias de reações a cultura, o ponto de vista transformacionista ou conversionista como o preferível nessa relação. Identifica o reformador João Calvino como o principal expoente e referencial do conversionismo. Localiza na doutrina da Graça Comum a chave de interpretação da relação do cristianismo com a cultura. Verifica quais influências Calvino recebeu para desenvolver seu posicionamento a respeito da doutrina da Graça Comum. Apresenta os herdeiros do pensamento de João Calvino em especial Abraham Kuyper que foi um dos principais responsáveis pela popularização da doutrina. Disserta sobre a controvérsia envolvendo a Christian Reformed Church por causa de discordâncias em relação à doutrina da Graça Comum. Conclui demonstrando a fórmula teológica que os reformados atuais chegaram a respeito da doutrina reafirmado-a como melhor maneira de enxergar a relação do cristianismo com a cultura.

In most Brazilian states, the knowledge of pasture pests is limited. With an objective of furthering the understanding of pasture pests in the Espírito Santo state, this study was conducted to identify the species of the Heteroptera group; assign to the species a status of phytophagous, and predatory; construct distribution maps; observe common occurrences between species obtained in pastures and determine the richness and abundance of species with economic potential. The Heteroptera found represented 18 families, 54 genera and 68 species/morphospecies. Among all the species found, the ones that show economic potential are Dolichomiris linearis, Trigonotylus tenuis, Pseudopachybrachius Collaria vinctus oleosa (Miridae), (Rhyparochromidae), Blissus Oebalus sp. (Blissidae), ypsilongriseus (Pentatomidae) classified as phytophagous and Doldina carinulata (Reduviidae) and Nabis sp. (Nabidae) as predators. The most abundant species were Collaria oleosa and Blissus sp., found in angola grass (Brachiaria mutica) and tangola grass (Brachiaria arrecta x B. mutica) respectively. The type of grass and region are directly related with the abundance of the Heteroptera species. The Northern and Northwestern regions had low indices of Shannon-Wiener 0,248, as well as the equitability (J) 0,507 e 0,275 respectively. / As pastagens do estado do Espírito Santo em sua maioria estão degradadas, sendo o ataque de pragas um dos principais fatores de degradação e representam um grande obstáculo para o estabelecimento de uma pecuária bovina sustentável. Para a maioria dos estados brasileiros o conhecimento das pragas em pastagens é escasso. Com o objetivo de ampliar o conhecimento do grupo Heteroptera nas pastagens do estado do Espírito Santo, foi realizado este estudo visando: identificar as espécies de Heteroptera; atribuir às espécies os status de fitófagos e predadores; confeccionar mapas de distribuição; observar as ocorrências em comum entre as espécies obtidas nas pastagens e determinar a riqueza e a abundância das espécies com potencial econômico. Os Heteroptera encontrados no Espírito Santo, por meio deste estudo, representam 18 famílias, 54 gêneros e 68 espécies/morfoespécies. Destas, as espécies com potencial econômico são: Dolichomiris linearis, Trigonotylus tenuis, Collaria oleosa (Miridae), Blissus sp. (Blissidae), Pseudopachybrachius vinctus (Rhyparochromidae), Oebalus ypsilongriseus (Pentatomidae), como fitófagos, e Doldina carinulata (Reduviidae) e Nabis sp. (Nabidae) como predadores. As espécies mais abundantes nas pastagens do Estado foram Collaria oleosa e Blissus sp. encontradas nos capins angola (Brachiaria mutica) e tangola (Brachiaria arrecta x B. mutica), respectivamente. O tipo de gramínea e a região de localização da gramínea estão diretamente relacionados com a abundância das espécies. As regiões Norte e Noroeste apresentaram baixos índices de Shannon- assim como de equitabilidade (J) 0,507 e 0,275 respetivamente.

In the last two decades, Seventh-day Adventist scholars have been attempting to articulate a balanced and distinct ecclesiology, aimed at helping the denomination to retain its global unity, maintain its relevance and enable a more fruitful and meaningful interaction with others. No comprehensive account of the church has been developed yet, however. This thesis is intended to facilitate a more rounded and systematically articulated concept of church from an Adventist perspective. Part I presents a thumbnail history of the denomination and considers the advantages and limitations of its standard claim to be the 'remnant', awaiting a pre-millennial parousia. Part II engages with the ideas of some of the ablest communio ecclesiologists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and considers their ecclesiological system, built around the concept of koinonia, while Part III examines ways in which their theoretical framework can assist the Adventist community to deal with practical ecclesial issues. Four major proposals are made for deepening Adventist understanding of the nature of church. Whereas the formal structure of communio framework can help Adventists move beyond one-sided, single-metaphor communal self-descriptions, the idea of the church as essentially a koinonia of believers in God can supplement their predominantly functionalist portrayal of the church as herald or messenger. Thirdly, the Adventist notion of truth can be enriched by viewing the community of believers not only as a messenger, but also as an organic part of divine revelation. This makes ecclesiology central to the theological enterprise, intrinsic to the grounding of theological claims and the interpretation of biblical texts. Finally, the development of a richer interpretation of the Spirit's activity in the church is seen as one of the key prerequisites for a fuller, more nuanced account of the church's participation in the life of the triune God. The highlighting of these four aspects, hitherto neglected or underdeveloped in Adventism, and the presentation of tentative solutions to its ongoing ecclesiological problems, form the principal contribution of this monograph.
