Sakralinė lėlė / Spiritual doll

Stasiškienė, Aušra 05 August 2013 (has links)
Magistro baigiamojo darbo tema – apeiginės lėlės naudojamos magijoje, religiniuose ritualuose pasaulyje. Šiame darbe surinktą informacija naudojama kaip atrama kūrybinio darbo idėjai įgyvendinti. Rašto darbe apžvelgiama apeiginių lėlių gamyba, medžiagiškumas, panaudojimas pasaulio kontekste. „Lėlė“ buvo ne vien kaip žmogaus modelis religinių apeigų metu, bet ir vaikų žaislas. Domėtasi lėlių reikšme, dekoro detalėmis bei atlikimo technikomis skirtingose kultūrose: Afrikoje-Vudu, Amerikoje-Kachina ir Lietuvoje-Morė. Šiandien lėlė yra tapusi daugiau pramogos ar žaidimo įrankiu. Primiršta jos pirmapradė ritualinė reikšmė, tačiau pati lėlė kaip objektas, vis dar naudojama šiuolaikinių apeigų metu. Gilinamasi kokias lėles naudojo tam tikroms apeigoms atlikti. Ši tema pasirinkta neatsitiktinai, kadangi praktiniame darbe kuriamos „lėlės“, kaip žmogaus „išnaros“, kurios bus pateiktos pasikeitusioms asmeninėms vertybėms išreikšti. Todėl sukaupta informacija pagelbės meninio darbo eigoje. Rašto darbe domimasi apeiginėmis lėlėmis, tradicijomis jas kuriant, jų panaudojimu, funkcionalumu, medžiagiškumu. Pagrindinė tiriamojo darbo problema yra tai, kad nėra ištirta kokį poveikį sakraliniam objektui turi medžiagiškumas, šiuo atveju sakralinei lėlei. Ar jos medžiagiškumas turi įtakos atliekamai funkcijai. Ši problema svarbi kūrėjams, žmonėms giliau besidomintiems kultūra ir tradicijomis. Surinkta informacija padės tikslingai pasirinkti medžiagas kūrybiniam meninio projekto įgyvendinimui...

Was written on purpose to analyze how religion determines and establishes the relationship of power in the Angel Ismael Spiritualistic Center (Voodoo). The main concepts used were: religion as answer to human anxieties; charisma as supernatural talents; and power as charismatic domination. It was put in perspective that religion has as function the legitimization of power and maintenance of reality. It contributes to the construction of the world when when it legitimates social institutions through sacred thought. Religion can influence society through charismatic power, which makes human activities be understood as supernatural facts. In Voodoo, the charismatic leader, witch-doctor, acts on behalf of the divinities. Thus he maintains his followers under his lash. In the Angel Ismael Spiritualistic Center, which was analyzed in this research, it can be noticed this relationship of power and obedience among the leader and his followers. The latter submit to such an obedience in duty to the divinities. Thus it is observed that the relationship of power invoked by the charismatic is one way of making religion assure its strength before society. / Para esta pesquisa partiu-se do pressuposto de que a religião favorece e legitima o poder de pessoas negras, pobres pertencentes a classes sociais inferiores sobre pessoas de classes privilegiadas da sociedade branca. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar como a religião determina e estabelece a relação de poder no Centro Espírita Anjo Ismael (Umbanda). Os principais conceitos trabalhados foram: religião como respostas aos anseios humanos; carisma como dons sobrenaturais; e poder como dominação carismática. Partiu-se de uma perspectiva de que a religião tem como função a legitimação do poder e manutenção da realidade. Ela contribui na construção do mundo quando ela legitima as instituições sociais através do pensamento sagrado. A religião pode influenciar a sociedade através do poder carismático, na qual as atividades humanas passam a ser entendidas como fatos sobrenaturais. Na religião umbandista o líder carismático, o pai-de-santo age em nome das divindades, desta forma mantém um domínio sobre os adeptos do seu grupo. No Centro Espírita Anjo Ismael, o qual foi analisado nesta pesquisa pode-se perceber esta relação de poder e obediência entre o líder e os adeptos. Os adeptos se submetem a tal obediência em respeito às divindades. Desta forma observa-se que a relação de poder invocada pelo carismático é uma das formas que faz a religião assegurar suas forças diante sociedade.

Missão e Igreja local: um estudo do Vodu haitiano no contexto do pluralismo religioso

Joseph, Jean Anel 25 February 2015 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-29T14:27:26Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Jean Anel Joseph.pdf: 1830488 bytes, checksum: 69dd94dfa8ad792d6729a90c8f0ee413 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-02-25 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The mission received from Jesus Christ (cf. Mt 29, 19-20) has been accepted by the universal church, and is effective in the activity and outreach of each particular church. Therefore, we understand that a church becomes particular when it can take local cultural elements and incorporate them in the enculturation of the Gospel in this local reality. Indeed, the mission of making Jesus Christ known to the ends of the earth experiences many challenges regarding the languages, mentalities, political environments and cultures. It is in the process the enculturation, that Jesus Christ may be incarnated in a mission to liberate and to save the humanity. However, the process of evangelization is not always free of evangelizers cultures conceptions and, almost always the native people s cultures were fought, ignored, or repressed. This research studies the Haitian reality in the cultural shock between the process of Christian evangelization and voodoo. We try to contextualize both voices of the local church as their own writings on the international scene and also the vast theological thought of that time. We show also the work of the black leaders to insure recognition of the black culture, defending it against all prejudices, charges of fetishism, witchcraft and other issues combated the black culture where the voodoo is a form of expression. After analyzing the way the local church related to voodoo and the inspiration of the second Vatican Council, we search for pointing out possible alternatives that can lead a harmony between the two religions that are currently under the law, with the same degree of importance. We do not ignore the presence of other religions, but we place our focus on studying the pastoral elements that may make for a possible way to overcome the current challenges. This is demanded in the new plural context Haitian reality, especially since the legal recognition of Voodoo as a Religion and the arrival of new religions with the UN mission in Haiti since 2004. The conclusion underlines the hypothesis that A return to preconciliar practices can only hinder the activity of the local church if it wants to be in tune with the universal mission of the church and especially if it intends to respond to the appeal of the Continental Magisterial, and more specifically to the Aparecida Conference that calls for a pastoral conversion as required in response to the signs of the times / A missão recebida de Jesus Cristo (cf. Mt 29, 19-20) é assumida pela Igreja Universal e é efetiva na atividade de cada Igreja local. No entanto, entendemos que uma Igreja se torna particular quando chega à maturidade de assumir elementos culturais locais e se empenha na inculturação do Evangelho nesta determinada realidade. Com efeito, a missão de fazer conhecer Jesus Cristo até os confins da terra enfrentou desafios de línguas, mentalidades e culturas. É a partir do processo da inculturação que podemos verdadeiramente propor um Jesus Cristo encarnado com a missão de libertar e salvar o gênero humano. Mas, nem sempre, o processo da Evangelização está livre de concepções culturais dos seus evangelizadores e, na maioria das vezes, as culturas dos povos nativos foram combatidas ou ignoradas. Esta pesquisa estuda a realidade haitiana no choque cultural entre o processo da evangelização cristã e o Vodu. Tentamos contextualizar tanto o discurso da Igreja local como os seus próprios escritos no cenário internacional e também o vasto pensamento teológico daquela época. Expomos também o trabalho dos negros pelo reconhecimento da cultura negra, defendendo-a contra todo o preconceito de cultura atrasada, de juiz de valor de fetichismo, bruxaria e tantos outros títulos que foram empenhados para combater a cultura negra onde, o Vodu, é uma forma de expressão. Depois de analisar o modo com que a Igreja local desempenhava a sua atividade missionária em relação ao Vodu e à luz do Vaticano II, procuramos apontar possíveis saídas de posicionamentos que podem levar a uma convivência entre as duas religiões que atualmente se encontram, perante a lei, sob o mesmo grau de importância, mas teologica e soteriologicamente, procuramos afirmar a superioridade de Jesus Cristo. Nós não ignoramos a presença das outras religiões, mas nós colocamos nosso foco em estudar e apresentar elementos pastorais para uma possível superação dos desafios atuais, neste novo contexto plural que pinta a realidade haitiana, com o reconhecimento jurídico do Vodu como Religião e a chegada de novas confissões religiosas com a missão da ONU presente no Haiti desde 2004. Enfim, salientamos a hipótese de que a volta às práticas pré-conciliares só podem prejudicar a atividade da Igreja local se ela quiser estar em sintonia com a missão universal da Igreja e, principalmente, se ela pretende responder ao apelo do Magistério Continental e mais especificamente a Aparecida que clama por uma conversão pastoral como resposta adaptada aos sinais dos tempos atuais

Haiti, uma república do Vodu?: uma análise do lugar do Vodu na sociedade haitiana à luz da Constituição de 1987 e do Decreto de 2003

Pierre, Jean Gardy Jean 17 June 2009 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-25T19:20:58Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Jean Gardy Jean Pier.pdf: 3968514 bytes, checksum: c6e3116b8c4a9f77ce305ea777ee5dd0 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-06-17 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The Constitution of 1987 proclaims religious liberty in Haiti and acknowledges Voodoo as a religion. However, Voodoo s legal status was changed only with a decree by President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in April 4th, 2003, which recognized Voodoo as cultural heritage of the Haitian nation This work presents a vision of Haitian Voodoo in the light of these two recent accomplishments of the Haitian people. What has changed since then and which perspectives are now available to the pioneer state in the American fights for independence and for the abolishment of slavery? In order to answer to those questions and the others, we have proposed this reserearch, having organized our work in three chapters. The first one describes the history of Haiti, from the time the country was inhabited by the Taïno Amerindians to the Spanish and French colonization periods and other more relevant events. Then we proceed to describing Voodoo, bearing in mind its origin and historical and sociological evolution. In the second chapter, we reflect on the relation between State, the Catholic Church and Voodoo after Independence. The relation with Voodoo was always tense and controversial, varying from unconditional acceptance to orderly repulse and from tolerance to intransigence. In 1860, the Catholic Church signed a concordat with the Haitian State and, thereafter, organised several campaigns against Voodoo. In the third chapter, we reflect on the rehabilitation of Voodoo by a sector of the country s intellectual elite, with a highlighted contribution of the Indigenist School during American occupation. The main representatives of that movement were Jean Price-Mars, physician and anthropologist, and Jacques Roumain, a novel writer and François Duvalier. They contributed to the renaissance of Voodoo as a religion, with numerous publications and pieces of research. With II Vatican Council, however, The Catholic Church has become more understanding and tolerant regarding Voodoo, to a point in which it has come to try to understand the latter from within. The revaluation of Voodoo helped it to leave clandestineness and helped Haitians to reencounter the values which united them in the past and which can unite them again around a project of national reconstruction / A Constituição de 1987 proclama a liberdade religiosa no Haiti e reconhece o Vodu como religião. No entanto, o estatuto jurídico do Vodu só muda com a publicação do decreto de 4 de abril de 2003 pelo presidente Jean-Bertrand Aristide, que o reconhece juridicamente e como patrimônio cultural da nação haitiana. Este trabalho apresenta uma visão sobre o Vodu haitiano à luz dessas duas recentes conquistas do povo haitiano. O que mudou desde então e quais perspectivas se abrem a esse Estado pioneiro nas lutas americanas pela Independência e pela abolição do sistema escravista? Para responder a essas indagações e outras, propusemos esta pesquisa organizando o trabalho em três capítulos: O primeiro traça a história do Haiti, desde o período em que era habitado pelos povos Tainos, passando pela colonização espanhola e francesa, pela independência e por outros acontecimentos mais importantes, para depois definir o Vodu levando em conta sua origem e sua evolução histórica e sociológica. No segundo capítulo, refletimos sobre a relação entre a Igreja Católica, o Estado e o Vodu após a Independência. A relação com o Vodu foi sempre tensa e polêmica, variando da acolhida incondicional ao repulso sistemático, ou ainda da tolerância à intransigência. Em 1860, a Igreja Católica assinou uma Concordata com o Estado e após a Concordata, organizou várias campanhas contra o Vodu. No terceiro capítulo, refletiremos sobre a reabilitação do Vodu por um setor da elite intelectual do país, especialmente por meio da Escola Indigenista, durante a ocupação americana. Os principais representantes deste movimento foram Jean Price-Mars, médico e antropólogo, o romancista Jacques Roumain,e François Duvalier que através de numerosas pesquisas e publicações ajudaram no renascimento do Vodu como religião. Com o Concílio Vaticano II, a Igreja Católica mostrou-se mais compreensiva e tolerante frente ao Vodu, a ponto de procurar compreendê-lo a partir de dentro. A revalorização do Vodu o ajudou a sair da clandestinidade e ajudou também os haitianos a reencontrarem os valores que os uniram no passado e que os podem unir outra vez em torno de um projeto de reconstrução nacional
