Transcendência e imanência na obra Dia do Mar de Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen

Silva, Bianca Nobrega da 12 February 2008 (has links)
Esta dissertação tem como objeto de estudo o livro Dia do Mar (1947) da escritora portuguesa Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen. A leitura dos poemas mostra-nos a preocupação da autora com a relação estabelecida entre o homem e o mundo em que vive. Daí, destaca-se a relação do eulírico com a natureza, que compõe a poesia de Sophia Andresen de modo muito especial. A partir dessa evidência, passamos a pensar a questão do homem em relação ao meio natural sob duas óticas, a pagã e a cristã, e isso pelo fato de que Sophia consegue conjugar em sua obra, de maneira muito pessoal, os dois pensamentos em questão. Percebemos, então, que a natureza é, na obra da poeta, um meio para se atingir uma relação harmônica com o mundo, pois o espaço natural tem a função de unir a voz-poética à divindade. Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar os poemas da autora em que se evidenciem a presença do sagrado pagão e do sagrado cristão. / This dissertation has as object of study the book Dia do Mar (Day of the Sea) (1947) of the portuguese writer Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen. The reading of the poems shows us the author\'s concern with the relationship established between the man and the world in that he lives. Then, it stands out the relationship of the I-lyrical with the nature, that composes the poetry of Sophia Andresen in a very special way. From that evidence, we started thinking the man\'s subject in relation to the natural way under two optics, the pagan and the christian, and that for the fact that Sophia gets to conjugate in her work, in a very personal way, the two thoughts in subject. We noticed, then, that the nature is, in the poet\'s work, a form to reach a harmonic relationship with the world, because the natural space has the function of uniting the poetic voice to the divinity. This work has as objective analyzes the author\'s poems in those are evidenced the sacred pagan and the sacred christians presence.

Protest and identity in the context of Sacred spaces: A historical appraisal of three selected sacred sites of the Eastern Free State

Ngobese, Derrick Horecious Dalifa 18 May 2018 (has links)
PhD (African Studies) / Centre for African Studies / Sacred sites are the preferred space for ritual performances and identity construction from which the issue of sensitive structures, distinctive features, individual interpretations, and symbol and meaning emanates. The history and importance of Motouleng, Mautse and Mantsopa caves (Eastern Free State, SA) for different religious persuasions, indigenous knowledge and ancestral veneration of Africans and traditional healers, were investigated apropos of the following: namely, how sacred sites are exemplifications of African indigenous religion; why they form locations of cultural and spiritual expression, and why they may be regarded as pertinent nodes of identity construction in a vibrant, changing, South African society. This study explored the way in which interpersonal experiences of the cave dwellers shape their sense of self, and the conflict they encounter in the context of interaction, in which identities are constructed and deconstructed in various ways. African religion, landscape and social identity theories are the basis of all theoretical claims utilised here. An interpretative phenomenological analysis research method was explored, to provide a detailed personal experience and examination of the participant’s life world on various issues pertaining to contestation and identity construction at the sacred space of the Eastern Free State. The existence of these sites poses a number of challenges to cave dwellers, land owners, heritage practitioners, and to continued preservation, management and restoration of the said sites. Crucial to this debate is how these sites may be protected both physically and legally. The study used qualitative findings to discover new ideas on identity construction and adjunct belief systems. The study also used thematic analysis to evaluate the research findings and make predictions on the effects on protest and contestation by cave dwellers around sacred spaces. / NRF

For this, it remakes the myth trajectory since ancient times, exploring the imagery of creation and its various expressions in archaic cultures in the Western World. The main objective of the research is to demonstrate the survival the symbolism of the Mother Goddess and the Serpent Myth in different cultural expressions in dialogue with the Sacred Circle Dances. It also takes into to identify the hidden message that externalizes through body movements that generate archetypical expressions codified in the ritualistic dances and performances, and explores in the same way, the domains of the Great Mother and the Serpent; its symbolic polysemy and the way they are organized in artistic and spacial terms. The main issue of this thesis is that whether the symbolism of the serpent can be considered as a mythical theme survival in the contemporary Sacred Circle Dance. Taking as methodological inspiration the hermeneutic conception of analysis, in this thesis the purpose is to connect the Myth of the Serpent with the most relevant works regarding the Sacred Feminine, history, anthropology and the ritualistic performances. The literature will be reviewed in its thematic axles and in particular the authors and the known experts in the Sciences of Religion. Amid the conceptual interpretations this research produces surveys of recent works on the subject of study to discuss the meanings and the ramifications inspired by ancient traditions and with deep power refresher mythical; and in this discussion, focuses on the aspect of the dances that revive the serpent symbolism and ritually reframe the archaic myths. Traditional and Folk Dances, realized as artistic performances, or even spontaneously, come upon the space created by the traditional parties, replace and vivify myths and prehistoric rituals nowadays. It is considered, therefore, that the Serpent symbology is a mythical theme of the Mother Goddess who survived the performed and ritualistic acts in the contemporary Sacred Circle Dances. / Esta tese investiga as sobrevivências e a camuflagem do Mito da Serpente e do culto à Grande Mãe nas performances mítica e ritualística das Danças Circulares Sagradas na contemporaneidade. Para isso, refaz a trajetória do mito desde a antiguidade, explorando o imaginário da criação e suas diversas expressões em culturas arcaicas no mundo ocidental. O principal objetivo da pesquisa é demonstrar a sobrevivência da simbologia da Deusa Mãe e do Mito da Serpente nas diferentes expressões culturais em diálogo com as Danças Circulares Sagradas. Busca, ainda, identificar a mensagem oculta que se externaliza mediante os movimentos corporais que geram expressões arquetípicas codificadas nas danças e performances ritualísticas; e explora, do mesmo modo, os domínios da Grande Mãe e da Serpente, sua polissemia simbólica e a maneira como se organizam em termos artísticos e espaciais. A principal questão da tese é se a simbologia da serpente pode ser considerada como temática mítica sobrevivente na Dança Circular Sagrada na contemporaneidade. Tendo como inspiração metodológica a concepção hermenêutica de análise, nesta tese busca-se conectar o Mito da Serpente às obras mais relevantes no que tange ao Sagrado Feminino, à história, à antropologia e às performances ritualísticas. A literatura será revista em seus eixos temáticos e, em especial, nos autores e estudiosos reconhecidos nas Ciências da Religião. Em meio às interpretações conceituais, a pesquisa realiza levantamentos das produções recentes sobre a temática de estudo para discutir as acepções e os desdobramentos inspirados em tradições ancestrais e com intenso poder de reatualização mítica; e, nesta discussão, aborda-se o aspecto das danças que revivem o simbolismo da serpente e ressignificam ritualisticamente os mitos arcaicos. As Danças Tradicionais e Folclóricas, realizadas como performances artísticas, ou mesmo espontaneamente, sobrevêm ao espaço criado pelas festas tradicionais, reatualizam e vivificam mitos e rituais pré-históricos na contemporaneidade. Considera-se, portanto, que a simbologia da Serpente é uma temática mítica da Deusa Mãe que sobreviveu nos atos performatizados e ritualísticos das Danças Circulares Sagradas contemporâneas.

Religion, sainteté et pouvoir en Provence angevine, première maison d'Anjou, modèle et miroir du monde angevin (1246-1382) / Religion, holiness and power in Angevin Provence, first House of Anjou (1246-1382)

Attard, Jean-Pierre 18 June 2015 (has links)
En 1246, Charles d'Anjou, frère du roi de France Louis IX, par son mariage avec l'héritière de Provence, arrive à la tête du comté de Provence, encore terre d'empire. Il est mal accueilli par les Provençaux qui craignent de perdre leur relative indépendance au profit du royaume de France. Charles d'Anjou doit vaincre l'opposition armée des grandes cités de Provence et d'une partie de la noblesse. Après son succès, la paix s'instaure dans le comté. Les Angevins développent pour cela une idéologie reposant sur leur sentiment d'appartenance à une race sacrée remontant aux Carolingiens : ils sont à la tête d'un pays sacré. Ils s'appuient sur l’Église dont ils démontrent être de bon fils. Finalement, la paix s'établit de façon durable dans le comté. / By his marriage withe the heress of Provence, Charles d'Anjou, brother of Louis IX, arrives at the head of the County of Provence.It is unpopular withs his subjects.

They base this of the Church. They are good sons of Church. In the end, peace is esthablished permanently in the County of Provence.

Melodia et rhetorica: the devotional song repertory of Hildegard of Bingen

Jeffreys, Catherine Mary Unknown Date (has links) (PDF)
A central focus of this thesis is the word-music relationship in the devotional-song-repertory of Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179). Surrounding this focus is an examination of aspects of her life and work that relate to the production of her seventy-seven monophonic songs. This examination commences with a review of biographical sources, collation and discussion of parchment sources of her music, and identification of her music scribes. The theme of Hildegard’s music scribes is then developed, including their influence upon the liturgical genres in which her songs are cast and the melodic behaviour of her music. It is argued that, as a result of the rendering of her melodies on the medieval gamut, the surviving sources of her songs represent corruptions of orally produced chant. / The word-music relationship in Hildegard’s songs is then introduced. Her views on the role of music and her own role as monastic preacher form the basis of an examination of the relationship between rhetoric and her songs. This examination draws on contemporary modes of rhetorical criticism, and an approach which treats her songs as musically articulated rhetorical discourse is developed. A selection of her songs is then examined through this approach, and particular attention is given to songs which preserve unusual melodic behaviours. It is argued that her songs represent iubilatio responses to both the grammatical and rhetorical syntagms of her song texts, and melodic characteristics which suggest traces of her pre-redacted melodies are identified. / As a codicil to this study, a critique of ‘new’ and ‘unusual’ monastic practices in Germany by Anselm of Havelberg (c.1100-1158) forms a point of departure for discussion of a small number of surviving songs which surrounded the production of Hildegard’s music - the five monophonic songs comprising the Epithalamia to the Speculum virginum (c.1140), and a twelfth-century canticle setting emanating from the monastic home of her music scribes. This examination points towards a tradition of ‘new’ and ‘unusual’ musical practices in Southern Germany during the twelfth century and provides one possible context for Hildegard’s devotional-song repertory.
