The tourism industry is growing rapidly worldwide. In 2016, Bali, Indonesia, had a record year in tourism, and the industry is continuously growing. One can argue that tourism is a culture exploiter and disrupts traditional culture. Nevertheless, it can also revitalize culture. Since the tourism in Bali is based on the Balinese culture and traditions, the writers wanted to acquire a deeper understanding of how the locals look upon - does tourism affect their cultural traditions and can residents preserve their local culture? A qualitative method was used for this study. For the collecting of data the writers conducted semi-structured interviews. The result of the study was, according to the Balinese, that people in Bali have become more money oriented due to the development of tourism and that some ceremonies have lost their spiritual meaning. In addition, the writers found that the locals are continuously working on preserving their culture but the challenge is to preserve what is actually authentic Balinese.

Rethinking Indigenous legal traditions is fundamentally about rebuilding citizenship. The theory underlying this paper is that it is possible to develop a flexible, overall legal framework that Indigenous peoples might use to express and describe their legal orders and laws, so that they can be applied to present-day problems. This framework must be able to, first, reflect the legal orders and laws of decentralized (i.e., non-state) Indigenous peoples, and second, allow for the diverse way that each society’s culture is reflected in their legal orders and laws. In turn, this framework will allow each society to draw on a deeper understanding of how their own legal traditions might be used to resolve contemporary conflicts, complex social injustices, and human rights violations.The Canadian state is not going away and the past cannot be undone. This means that Indigenous peoples must figure out how to reconcile former decentralized legal orders and law with a centralized state and legal system. Any process of reconciliation must include political deliberation on the part of an informed and involved Indigenous citizenry. We have to answer the question, «Who are we beyond colonialism?» / Repensar las tradiciones legales indígenas es fundamental para la reconstrucción del concepto de ciudadanía. La teoría subrayada en este ensayo es que sí es posible desarrollar un flexible marco legal general que los pueblos indígenas deberían usar para expresar y describir sus órdenes legales y derechos, tal es así que pueden ser aplicados a los problemas actuales. Este marco debe ser capaz, primero, de plasmar los ordenamientos legales y los derechos siguiendo la forma descentralizada (esto es, no-estatal) de los pueblos indígenas; y segundo, permitir que las diversas formas de la cultura de cada sociedad sean reflejadas en sus ordenamientos jurídicos y derechos. Este marco permitirá, a su vez, que cada sociedad haga uso de un entendimiento profundo sobre cómo sus tradiciones legales deberían ser usadas para resolver conflictos contemporáneos, injusticias sociales complejas y la violación de derechos humanos.El Estado canadiense no se está debilitando y el pasado tampoco está descartado. Esto significa que los pueblos indígenas deben analizar cómo reconciliar sus antiguos ordenamientos legales y derechos descentralizados con el Estado y el sistema legal centralizados. Cualquiera fuera el proceso de reconciliación debe incluir una deliberación política sobre la ciudadanía indígena informada y comprometida. Tenemos que responder ala pregunta: «¿Quiénes somos nosotros más allá del colonialismo?».

La Relación de Joan de Santa Cruz Pachacuti Yamqui Salcamaygua es un texto colonial singular y uno de los pocos en contarnos episodios andinos prehispánicos de la mano de un miembro de una comunidad indígena. Sin embargo, aunque haya dado lugar a un número bastante grande de estudios y críticas, todavía no se ha llegado a un consenso completo a saber si sus contenidos son auténticamente andinos o el resultado de un proceso de aculturación. En este artículo, queremos reexaminar esta obra monumental desde un punto de vista poco trabajado, es decir, la posible postura que adoptó Pachacuti Yamqui al escribir su relación y que deja aparecer a través de su utilización de las tradiciones discursivas y el sujeto dicente de la obra. / The Relación of Joan de Santa Cruz Pachacuti Yamqui Salcamaygua is a unique colonial text and one of the few to tell Andean pre-Hispanic history by the hand of a member of an indigenous community. However, while giving rise to a fairly large number of studies and reviews, it has not yet reached a full consensus whether its contents are authentically Andean or the result of a process of acculturation. In this article, we re-examine this monumental work from a less studied viewpoint, that is, the possible posture adopted by Pachacuti Yamqui to write is Relación and that he let appear through the use of discursive traditions and the subject of enunciation of the work.

This film is an oral history about the intergenerational relationship between three women: my grandmother, my mother, and I. Through our connection I explore the Russian traditions that my grandmother has cultivated and shared among the three of us, in particular, the tradition of fortune telling. I also explore my grandmother's struggle with dementia. Although her memory is fading, she can still remember the practice of reading fortunes and that tradition has preserved our bond and her legacy.

A ‘Corrida de Revezamento do Fogo Simbólico da Pátria’ – CFS – é uma prática cultural que marca o início das comemorações da ‘Semana da Pátria’ em Porto Alegre no final da década de 1930. A partir de 1938, a CFS foi editada anualmente pela Liga de Defesa Nacional (LDN) com o apoio de dirigentes esportivos porto-alegrenses. Foram esses dirigentes que idealizaram a CFS em Porto Alegre, após assistirem a “Corrida de Revezamento da Chama Olímpica” na cerimônia de abertura dos Jogos Olímpicos de Berlim em 1936. Este estudo busca compreender a participação dos clubes esportivos porto-alegrenses na construção de representações da identidade nacional brasileira através da invenção da ‘Corrida de Revezamento do Fogo Simbólico da Pátria’ no período de 1938 a 1947. Para tanto, utilizaram-se fontes impressas e orais. As fontes impressas primárias se restringem aos documentos e obras da LDN; entre as principais fontes impressas secundárias estão a Revista do Globo e o jornal Correio do Povo. Foram realizadas duas entrevistas que constituem as fontes orais. A Corrida de Revezamento do Fogo Simbólico da Pátria (1938-1947) foi uma tradição inventada em Porto Alegre, institucionalizada pela LDN com o apoio social feito pelos clubes esportivos. A justificativa de sua realização se deu através de ligações históricosagradas e sua fixação através da repetição anual nas cidades. A CFS buscava engendrar ‘valores’, associados à construção da identidade nacional brasileira. Dessa forma produziu no imaginário porto-alegrense a representação de coesão e unidade nacional em razão do formato de percorrer a nação e ter como ponto de culminância sempre a cidade de Porto Alegre. No contexto esportivo, produziu a representação de que os clubes esportivos identificados como ‘estrangeiros’ foram ‘abrasileirados’ devido à participação de dirigentes esportivos e atletas na CFS. / The 'Nation Torch Relay' – NTR – it is a cultural practice that marks the beginning of the celebrations from 'Nation’s Week’ in Porto Alegre city by the 1930's end. From 1938, the NTR has annually been edited by the National Defense League (NDL) with portoalegrenses sports leaders support. There were those leaders who idealized the NTR in Porto Alegre, after they watched the "Olympic Torch Relay" at Berlin Olympic Games opening ceremony in 1936. This study aims to understand the participation of portoalegrenses sports clubs in the construction of representations from the Brazilian national identity through the invention of the 'Nation Torch Relay' in the period from 1938 to 1947. For this purpose, printed and oral sources were used. The printed primary sources are limited to NDL’s documents and works; among the main printed secondary sources are Globo’s Magazine and Correio do Povo newspaper. There were two interviews, which are the oral sources. The ‘Nation Torch Relay’ (1938-1947) was an invented tradition in Porto Alegre city, institutionalized by NDL with social support from the city’s sports clubs. The justification of its achievement was made by historical and sacred’s links and its fixation through annual repetition in the cities. The NTR aimed to pass 'values'; and they were associated to the construction of Brazilian national identity. Thus, it produced in the porto-alegrense imagination, the representation of national cohesion and unity because of the way it roams about the nation and has as a point of culmination Porto Alegre city. In the sports context, it produced the representation that sports clubs identified, as 'foreigners', were 'adopted Brazilian ways and manners' due to athletes and sports leaders participation in the NTR.

O cerne do argumento é a importância das tradições italianas como um fator na criação das identidades coletivas regionais e de articulação entre passado e presente. Discute-se como as tradições engendram a produção da modernidade no âmbito das empresas e das atividades turísticas na região. Argumentamos que o apelo às tradições de origem é fruto, em primeiro lugar, do processo de imigração italiana para esta região do Nordeste do Rio Grande do Sul. Em seguida mostramos como a Festa da Uva, a primeira das comemorações, reinventa a tradição e se constitui no motor e base para o turismo na região. Finalmente, mostramos como a permanência da identidade nacional italiana atua como um fator de inovação, sobretudo nas técnicas de produção do vinho e da organização das atividades empresariais na região, numa síntese entre aspectos da tradição e da pós-modernidade. / This dissertation focuses on wine and tourism in the Serra Gaúcha region of southern Brazil. The main axis is defined around the process of Italian immigration to this region and the role of the traditions associated with the production of wine. Italian traditions are viewed as a factor both in the production of collective identities and articulation between past and present, in terms of the process of modernization of enterprises and the creation of touristic activities. We treat the Festa da Uva as the first of the traditions for the development of tourism as connected to wine and the Italian background. Next, we focus on the nature of the process of immigration and the way in which the cultural italian heritage shaped, at the same time that it has constituted a source for the renewal of entrepreneurial activities in the region, in a kind of synthesis between the past and post-modernity.

This doctoral research is dedicated to the study of identity issues in contexts of renewal or appropriation of ethnic traditions and their displacement, by specific actors, within the realm of holistic spiritualities. These issues revolve around quests for authenticity, legitimacy and negotiation of (intra)-cultural differences. This research problematizes the relationships among mobility, spirituality and Mayan ethnicity, from the perspective of Transnational Studies and life stories, through the concept of neo-Mayanity. These relationships have been embedded in the broader context of "religious change" and its forms since the 1950s and 1960s. On the one hand, these changes imply the rise of New Age currents in the wake of 1968 counter-culture. On the other hand, they stem from the emergence of new forms of "religious or spiritual mobility", more specifically in the transnational circulation of actors, practices, imaginations and symbols. This research features qualitative case studies conducted in different national contexts. Six field studies were carried out as part of a multi-situated ethnography spanning Mexico, Guatemala, Switzerland and Germany, using methods such as narrative interviews, direct participant observations, cyber-ethnography, and ethno-photography. The research aims to show current transformations in the field of Mayan ethnicity, ever since contact with globalized New Age spiritualities. A variety of empirical examples reveal that since the "2012 Phenomenon", the accelerated transnationalization of spiritual leaders has involved a resemantization of symbolic contents and rituals through processes of rearrangement, visual innovation and cohabitation.

The thesis introduces perception of guilt and sin in the Bible, in Christian tradition and in contemporary moral theology. It emphasizes that in the mentioned periods both phenomena belonged in the common talk and to the elemental moral concepts. It deals with perception of guilt (sin) and forgiveness at present and it does not omit the findings of empirical sciences. It takes into consideration the facts which led to the loss or deformation of awareness of both phenomena in the society in general. In practice it conducts the survey of the possible idea of the contemporary state of awareness of guilt and forgiveness and relates it to the specific group of Anonymous Alcoholics.

Partindo de temática comum − a representação de combates entre mouros e cristãos− os folguedos analisados receberam uma atenção voltada para seus elementos como: história, texto, figurino, música, performance e cenografia. Tendo uma mesma origem, o livro a História do Imperador Carlos Magno e dos doze pares de França e, como marca cultural a colonização portuguesa, tanto o Auto de Floripes como a Luta de Mouros e Cristãos apresentam similaridades, a exemplo da oposição Bem X Mal localizada nos cristãos (representados pela cor azul) e nos mouros (vermelho), respectivamente, assim como particularidades históricas e estéticas. Para a realização da análise dos espetáculos, a pesquisa de campo foi o principal método empregado, com realização de entrevistas, observação, apreciação das encenações e registro de imagens, seguido de pesquisas bibliográficas e análise do material coletado. Como resultado, a tese apresenta constatações e reflexões acerca das artes do espetáculo, da transmissão, permanência e atualização das tradições carolíngias. A pesquisa revelou ainda que, após grande popularidade nos formatos escrito e oral, a encenação se constitui, hoje, como o principal espaço de memória das narrativas carolíngias, seja no Brasil ou em São Tomé e Príncipe. / Cette thèse porte sur deux spectacles : la Luta de Mouros e Cristãos (Prado, Bahia, Brésil) et Auto de Floripes (Santo Antonio, Île de Principe, Sao Tomé e Principe). Basées sur une thématique commune – la représentation des combats entre Maures et Chrétiens – les manifestations analysées sont traitées à partir de leurs éléments constitutifs : aspects historiques, texte, costumes, musique, performance et scénographie. Les deux spectacles ont non seulement comme origine commune le récit intitulé Histoire de l'empereur Charlemagne et les douze pairs de France, mais encore une empreinte culturelle provenant de la colonisation portugaise. Auto de Floripes et la Luta de Mouros e Cristãos présentent donc des aspects similaires comme, par exemple, l'opposition du Bien et du Mal, localisée respectivement dans les groupes chrétiens (representés pour la couleur bleu) et maures (rouge), ainsi que des spécificités historiques et esthétiques communes. La principale méthode utilisée pour analyser les deux spectacles a été la recherche de terrain. Cette dernière est constituée d'entretiens, d'un travail d'observation et d'évaluation des performances respectives, de l'établissement d'un registre d'images, suivie par des recherches bibliographiques et l'analyse de l'ensemble du matériel récolté. Le résultat de cette recherche de thèse propose réflexions et idées autour des questions propres aux arts du spectacle, à la transmission, au maintien et à l'actualisation des traditions carolingiennes. Elle révèle encore un aspect fondamental des deux spectacles. Les récits populaires qui se sont développés autour de Charlemagne ont tout d'abord eu une grande popularité sous forme écrite et orale. Aujourd'hui, les spectacles étudiés constituent leur principal espace de mémoire, et au Brésil et à Sao Tomé et Principe. / This thesis investigates two spectacles: ―Luta de Mouros e Cristãos‖ (Prado, Bahia, Brazil) and ―Auto de Floripes‖ (Santo António, Príncipe Island, São Tomé and Príncipe, Africa). Starting from a common theme – the representation of the battles between Moors and Christians – the analyses were most focused on elements of the plays such as history, text, costume, music, performance and scenography. As having the same origin, that is, the book entitled ―History of the Emperor Charlesmagne and the Twelve Peers of France‖ as well as the cultural mark of the Portuguese colonization, both the ―Auto de Floripes‖ and the ―Luta de Mouros e Cristãos‖ present some similarities, for instance, the representation of the Good in opposition to the Evil, as seen in Christians dressed in blue and the Moors in red, besides other historical and aesthetic peculiarities. Field research was the most important method in analyzing both performances, which included interviews, observation, appreciation of the mise en scène and recording of images, followed by bibliographical research and analysis of the collected material. As a result, the thesis presents evidences and reflections on the performing arts and the transmission, permanence and actualization of Carolingian traditions. Still, the research has revealed that, after a wide popularity in both oral and written forms, the mise en scène appears today as the major place of memory of Carolingian narratives, in Brazil as well as in São Tomé and Príncipe.
