Variations on Charisma: Shakespeare’s Saintly, Villain, and Lustful Leaders est une étude des mécanismes du leadership charismatique dans Henry V, Richard III et Antoine et Cléopâtre de William Shakespeare, respectivement. Le mémoire explore certains outils, tels que la rhétorique, l'ironie et resignification, qui permettent aux dirigeants de gagner l'amour des disciples, la reconnaissance, et même la crainte. Cette thèse ne traitera pas avec l'essence du charisme en tant que telle, mais plutôt avec les techniques de leadership charismatique. Dans le premier chapitre, j'ai étudié le caractère du roi Harry dans trois différents aspects: en tant que chef militaire, en tant que chef spirituel, et comme un leader politique. Parmi les techniques de leadership charismatique qui déploie Henry V de gagner l'amour de ses disciples et de dévouement est rhétorique. La capacité de livrer le discours à droite dans la conjoncture à droite et à convaincre les adeptes, même dans les moments de difficultés formes sa force clé comme une figure centrale dans la pièce. Le deuxième chapitre traite du leadership charismatique Richard III, qui est évaluée sur le plan éthique parce qu'elle est acquise grâce à assassiner. J'ai essayé d'examiner les relations possibles qui pourraient exister entre le charisme et l'agence moral. Dans ce chapitre, j'ai soulevé des questions sur la mesure dans laquelle le charisme est d'ordre éthique et comment un chef de file, qui usurpes alimentation via assassiner, est charismatique. Une technique qui renforce le leadership charismatique de Richard est l'ironie. Richard III déploie l'ironie de gagner la complicité du public. Dans le troisième chapitre, l'accent est mis sur le caractère de Cléopâtre. La question soulevée dans le chapitre concerne la relation entre le charisme et la lutte pour une identité féminine orientale. politique sexuelle de Cléopâtre est également au cœur de mon étude, car il est revu et de nouveaux sens de Shakespeare d'une manière qui souligne les qualités charismatiques de Cléopâtre. Mots clés: le charisme, la rhétorique, l'agence morale, resignification, William Shakespeare / Variations on Charisma: Shakespeare’s Saintly, Villain, and Lustful Leaders is an investigation of the mechanisms of charismatic leadership in Shakespeare’s Henry V, Richard III, and Antony and Cleopatra respectively. It explores certain tools, such as rhetoric, irony, and resignification, which allow the leaders to gain the followers’ love, recognition, and even awe. This thesis will not deal with the essence of charisma as such but rather with the techniques of charismatic leadership. In the first chapter, I have studied the character of King Harry in three different aspects: as a military leader, as a spiritual leader, and as a political leader. Among the techniques of charismatic leadership which Henry V deploys to gain his followers’ love and devotion is rhetoric. The ability to deliver the right discourse in the right conjuncture and to persuade the followers even in the moments of hardship forms his key strength as a central figure in the play. The second chapter deals with Richard III’s charismatic leadership which is assessed ethically because it is gained through murder. I have tried to examine the possible relations that might exist between charisma and moral agency. In this chapter, I have raised questions about the extent to which charisma is ethical and how a leader, who usurpes power via murder, is charismatic. One technique which reinforces Richard’s charismatic leadership is irony. Richard III deploys irony to gain the audience’s complicity. In the third chapter, the focus is on the character of Cleopatra. The question raised in the chapter concerns the relationship between charisma and the struggle for an oriental feminine identity. Cleopatra’s sexual politics is also at the heart of my study because it is revisited and resignified by Shakespeare in a way that highlights Cleopatra’s charismatic qualities. Key words: charisma, rhetoric, moral agency, resignification, William Shakespeare

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo compreender de que forma o pastor fundador de uma igreja na Baixada Fluminense, Rio de Janeiro, tem conseguido através de sua liderança carismática construir e manter um sistema de distribuição, redistribuição e manipulação de bens simbólicos entre seus seguidores. Observa-se essa dinâmica entre o poder, carisma e reconhecimento, tanto dentro da congregação: nas relações o pastor fundador da igreja e os demais pastores, presbíteros e membros, como fora dela: na medida em que essa igreja, que se identifica como Assembléia de Deus, não participa de nenhuma convenção ou órgãos referenciais dessa denominação. Sugere-se que, apesar de se pretender um tipo de Assembléia de Deus, essa igreja assume um ethos neopentecostal de igrejas autônomas, podendo ser identificada na terminologia nativa como uma Assembléia de Deus Renovada. Para alcançar os objetivos propostos, foi realizado um estudo de campo, com entrevistas e observação participante, e também um pequeno survey. / The research has aimed to understand how a Neopentecostal pastor, founder of a church located at Baixada Fluminense, Rio de Janeiro, is able to build and keep a system of distribution, redistribution and manipulation of symbolic goods among his followers, through his charismatic leadership. This study tries to show the power dynamics between charisma and leader recognition inside the church, among the founder and the other pastors, presbyteries and members, and also outside of it, when this church self defined as an Assembly of God has no part of any convention of this denomination. We suggest that, despite defined as a kind of Assembly of God, this church assumes a Neopentecostal ethos of autonomous churches, and can be identified, using a native terminology, as Renewed Assembly of God. To reach the proposed aims, we carried out a field research with participant observation, interviews, and also a small survey.

Ética em educação: novos paradigmas para o nosso tempo é o tema desse estudo. Ele se originou das inquietações oriundas da prática da pesquisadora com as escolas da Associação Congregação de Santa Catarina Província Santa Catarina. Os resultados desses estudos foram socializados com os professores, através da organização de seminários nas escolas da Associação, para debate e reflexão de questões referentes à temática em estudo. A reflexão, a partilha e o olhar histórico lançado para o carisma de Regina Protmann e a origem da Congregação ofereceram elementos importantes para aprofundamento do tema, destacando a ética em educação como um grande desafio para a contemporaneidade e um compromisso ético como exigência de fidelidade ao carisma da fundadora e da Congregação. O ato de educar é sempre um ato ético, pois é impossível fugir de decisões éticas, desde a escolha de conteúdos até o método a ser utilizado ou a forma de relacionamento com os educandos e educadores. Novos paradigmas em educação se fazem urgentes numa sociedade líquida, para que a pessoa mergulhe numa cultura de sentido de vida. Essa experiência vivida com os educadores foi importante para o embasamento da investigação que está sendo apresentada. A pesquisa teve uma abordagem qualitativa de cunho fenomenológico, hermenêutico e participante. Foram utilizadas as narrativas dos participantes, coletadas através de entrevistas semi-estuturadas, complementadas pelos relatos dos seminários. Esses dados foram sintetizados e mapeados, usando o princípio da análise do conteúdo. Os estudos de Freire, Dussel, Susin, Boff, Gibellini, Andreola, Bauman, Küng, Lévinas, Bonhoeffer, Morin, Boaventura de Souza Santos, Taille, André deram o principal suporte para a compreensão das reflexões socializadas pelos educadores, educandos e pais. Junto com os diversos autores e em confronto com a prática e o carisma da fundadora, transcorreu um diálogo interativo onde foi possível a construção de uma nova autoria. Os resultados obtidos confirmaram que a ética em educação com novos paradigmas para o nosso tempo requer um novo conjunto de práticas pedagógicas e sociais que visualizem valores e princípios comprometidos com o cuidado humano-ecológico. / Ethics in education: new paradigms for our time is the subject of this study. It started of the anxieties of research with schools of the Congregation of St. Catherine Association. The results of these studies were socialized with teachers, through workshops in schools of the Association, for debate and reflection of questions concerning subject matter in study. The reflection, the share and historic look launched to the charism of Regina Protmann and the origin of the congregation, offered important elements, pointing out the ethics in education in a great challenge, and an ethical commitment as a requirement of fidelity to the charism of the founder of the congregation. The act of educating is an ethic act, then its impossible escape of ethic decisions, from choice of contents until the method that must be used or the form of relationship with the students and educators. New paradigms in education are important for people dive in a culture of sense of life. This experience shared with educators was important to the investigation that is being showed. The research had an qualitative approach and participant. The narratives of the participants were collected through supplementaries interviews of the seminars.

Studies of Freire, Dussel, Susin, Boff, Gibellini, Andreola, Bauman, Küng, Lévinas, Bonhoeffer, Morin, Boaventura de Souza Santos, Taille and André gave the main support to the comprehension of the reflections socialized by educators, students and parents. Together with several authors and in confrontation with the practice and charism of the founder, passed an interactive dialogue where it was possible the construction of a new author. The results confirmed that ethic in education with new paradigms, requires a new set of educationals practices and socials that gave importance and commitment with the human care- ecological.
