In recent decades historians have 'discovered' agency in a wide range of geographical and temporal contexts, amongst many different types of actor. This dissertation employs the concept of agency to dissect the dynamics of power in early nineteenth-century London charities. Concurrently, it uses charity to test the potential applications of agency as a historical concept and as a tool for historical analysis. Through case studies of five different types of charity in early nineteenth-century London, this dissertation explores the varied ways in which plebeians exercised their agency. The case studies engage with current definitions of agency 'intentional action, resistance, the defence of rights and customs, exerting control over one's own life, autonomy, strategy, choice, and voice' and test the boundaries of the concept, proposing different ways in which scholars might characterise agency. This dissertation not only examines how the poor exerted their agency, but also how philanthropists conceptualised the agency of the poor. Although agency had a different set of meanings in the early nineteenth century than it does today, Georgian commentators nevertheless discussed the same phenomena that historians today label as agency. This dissertation considers how philanthropists attempted to mould the agency of their beneficiaries and how the agency of the poor shaped charitable organisations. For all its prevalence, agency is an under-theorised and problematic concept. There is no consensus about what agency is or how to locate it. As a result, agency is a slippery concept that seems to elude meaning. Historians are often so personally invested in the project of recovering the agency of subalterns that they underestimate the structural constraints acting on agency or they project modern conceptions of agency on to the subjects of their study. This dissertation subjects agency to critical examination that is long overdue. It argues that agency, as an 'essentially contested' concept, is a powerful tool for dissecting subtle and diverse dynamics of power. This dissertation proposes and demonstrates ways in which scholars can employ the concept usefully, mitigating its problematic aspects.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Introdução - Considera o grande envolvimento da prática social cristã no Terceiro Setor, no que concerne ao contexto brasileiro, e realiza a análise dos conceitos pertinentes a uma teologia do amor de Deus. Objetivo - Conhecer a arquitetura da prática social cristã nos processos vetoriais da Seguridade Social organizada no Brasil e preconizada pela Constituição Federal de 1988, bem como seu funcionamento legislativo próprio e suas disposições jurídico-normativas no processo de enfrentamento da escassez, o qual organizado pelas comunidades de fé desde a faticidade. Metodologia - Pesquisa bibliográfico-conceitual no intuito construir referenciais próprios na compreensão do fenômeno em questão. Ao longo da pesquisa foram feitas incursões in loco em regiões específicas com objetivo de colher aproximações a respeito do trato teórico dispensado a determinadas práticas cristã sociais e como elas são processadas conceitualmente. O debate sobre achados entre pesquisadores e as trocas de conhecimentos foram fundamentais para a construção do argumento da tese. Resultados - A prática social cristã é tanto uma forma espaciotemporal de organização das comunidades de fé quanto uma forma de interpretar o papel que elas exercem sobre os contextos imediatos. A influência marcante da cultura condiciona as formas de organização, bem como define as formas de escassez contra as quais a prática social cristã é organizada e aplicada. As formas específicas que substanciam essa prática, a saber, a diaconia e a caridade, possuem seus sistemas epistêmicos característicos e não se deixam reduzir em vagas metadiscursivas, além disso, elas participam solidariamente de contextos, muitas vezes, marcados pela ausência de um aparato infraestrutural do Estado, envolvendo-as na união com outras formas de organização, o que gera sinergias salutares na consecução dos objetivos colocados. A diaconia e a caridade, na modernidade, possuem o mesmo nascedouro histórico e social, e compartilham a estrutura de ação que implica no i) trabalho voluntariado, ii) na aplicação de metodologias científicas e iii) na sensibilização da opinião pública de que certas ações precisam ser transformadas em políticas de Estado, saindo dessa forma do puro enfrentamento localizado. Quanto à divulgação de resultados obtidos socialmente, predominou por longo tempo uma lógica da inconsciência das boas obras, prejudicando assim a publicização dos resultados, algo que só veio a mudar com a Reforma do Estado na década de 1990, quando tomou lugar uma percepção gerencialista da administração pública, decorrendo daí a exigência de maior publicização da ações do Terceiro Setor, de maneira geral. Conclusões - A bibliografia respeitante ao tema e os dados das pesquisas estatísticas, que vêm sendo feitas ao longo dos últimos vinte anos, mostram que a prática social cristã exerce influência na organização do Terceiro Setor. Não só isso, contribui para a qualificação de territórios geográficos e espaços temporais como lugares de dignificação na vinculação de infraestrutura, calçamento, escola, esgoto, transporte, lazer, etc, à realização dos fundamentos básicos da cidadania. / Introduction This paper deals with the great involvement of Christian social practice in the Third Sector, as it relates to the Brazilian context, and carries out the analysis of the concepts pertinent to a theology of the love of God. Goal To get to know the architecture of the Christian social practice in the vector processes of the Social Security organized in Brazil and called for in the Federal Constitution of 1988, as well as its own legislative functioning and its normative-legal dispositions in the process of confronting scarcity, which is organized by faith communities ever since facticity. Methodology Bibliographic-conceptual research with the goal of constructing our own referentials for the comprehension of the phenomenon in question. Throughout the research incursions in loco were made in specific regions with the goal of gathering approximations with respect to the theoretical treatment given to certain Christian-social practices and how they are processed conceptually. The debate about the findings among the researchers and the exchanges of knowledge were fundamental for the construction of the argument of the dissertation. Results - The Christian social practice is a spacial temporal form of organization of the faith communities as well as a way of interpreting the role they exert on the immediate contexts. The marked influence of the culture conditions the forms of organization, as well as defines the forms of scarcity against which the Christian social practice is organized and applied. The specific forms which substantiate this practice, that is, diakonia and charity, have their own characteristic epistemic systems and do not let themselves be reduced to vague metadiscourses. Besides this, they participate solidarily in contexts, many times marked by the absence of an infrastructural apparatus of the State, thus becoming involved in uniting with other forms of organization, which generates salutary synergies in carrying out the designated goals. Diakonia and charity, in modernity, have the same historic and social birthing places and share the structure of action which implies in i) volunteer work, ii) application of scientific methodologies and iii) the sensitization of public opinion to understand that certain actions need to be transformed into State policies, thus getting out of the pure localized confrontation. As to the divulgement of socially obtained results, for a long time a logic of unawareness of the good works has predominated, thus hurting the publicization of the results, something that only changed with the Reformation of the State in the decade of 1990, when a managerialist perception of public administration took its place, thereby resulting in the demand for greater publicization of the actions of the Third Sector in a general way. Conclusions The bibliography with respect to the theme and to the data of the statistic research, which have been being done throughout the last twenty years, show that the Christian social practice exerts influence on the organization of the Third Sector. Not only that, it contributes to the qualification of geographic territories and temporal spaces as places of dignification within the linkage of infrastructure, pavements, school, sewage system, transportation, leisure, etc., to the realization of the fundamental basics of citizenship.

L’étude présentée ici est le résultat d’un inventaire des établissements d’assistance présents dans les limites des diocèses d'Autun, d'Auxerre, de Chalon-sur-Saône, de Nevers et du sud du diocèse de Langres, entre les XIIe et XVe siècles, cette aire d'étude correspondant ainsi à un espace d'influence bourguignonne. À partir des données récoltées, un atlas de l'assistance et un répertoire des sources sur les hôpitaux médiévaux de l'espace bourguignon ont été réalisés. Les informations ainsi compilées se sont révélées être très variées, mais aussi particulièrement hétéroclites. Malgré tout, une réflexion a été menée au sujet des caractéristiques de ces hôpitaux et de leurs rapports avec les milieux économiques, religieux, politiques et sociaux qui les environnent. Elle s'articule donc autour de trois parties abordant tour à tour l'influence de facteurs extérieurs sur la création et l'implantation des hôpitaux, puis les interactions entre les structures hospitalières avec les milieux où elles se trouvent ainsi que la façon dont elles peuvent être instrumentalisées, et enfin elle met en parallèle l'évolution des établissements d'assistance avec celle de la société et des rapports de pouvoirs. Il en ressort, entre autres, que les établissements d'assistance sont des points de repère dans la construction du paysage médiéval, qu’ils sont importants pour l'équilibre de la société, mais qu'ils ont également joué un rôle majeur dans les jeux de pouvoirs et dans l'expression de la foi chrétienne médiévale. / The study presented here is the conclusion of an inventory about hospitals having existed on the territory of some dioceses (Autun, Auxerre, Chalon-sur-Saône, Nevers and the south of that of Langres diocese) between XIIth and XVth centuries. Based on the data collected, an atlas of assistance and a directory of sources on medieval hospitals of the study area has been made. The compiled informations proved to be very different but also very heterogeneous. Nevertheless, reflexions were conducted about the characteristics of these hospitals and their relationships with their economic, religious, political and social environments. It revolves around three parts dealing by turns the influence of external factors on the creation and implementation of medieval hospitals, interactions between hospitals with the environments where they are and how are they can be manipulated , and it ends with the parallel evolution of institutions with the support of society and power relations. It shows, among other things, that charity hospitals are landmarks in the medieval landscape, they are importants to the balance of society, but they also have a fonction in the power games and in the expression of the medieval Christian faith.

La première partie présente un Bernard de Clairvaux Philosophe. Fleuron du socratisme Chrétien il lui donne une inflexion marquant le primat de l’humilité (Ch. I), le détour nécessaire par la charité (Ch. II) avant de parvenir à la contemplation (Ch. IV). Entre ces deux points d’inflexion, un chapitre développe le rôle central pour lui du libre arbitre et celui de la conscience (Ch. III). La deuxième partie recherche la présence ou non de ces caractéristiques chez trois cisterciens parmi les plus proches de Bernard : Aelred de Rievaulx, Guerric d’Igny, Geoffroy d’Auxerre (Ch. I). Puis (Ch. II) elle examine trois auteurs cisterciens parmi les plus philosophes du XIIe siècle : Isaac de l’Étoile, Garnier de Rochefort et Hélinand de Froidmont. Enfin, elle en vient à trois auteurs qualifiés de "satellites" : Guillaume de Saint-Thierry, Alain de Lille et Joachim de Flore. / In the first part, Bernard of Clairvaux is considered as a philosopher. Jewel of Christian socratism, he gives it a new orientation, first insisting on humility (Ch. I), then on the necessary bend of charity (Ch. II), before reaching contemplation (Ch. IV). In the midst Ch. III develops the central part played by freewill in his system and that of conscience. The second part checks the presence or not of these philosophic views, first in the works of three Cistercians among the closest to Bernard: Aelred of Rievaulx, Guerric of Igny, and Geoffroy of Auxerre (Ch. I). Then Ch. II’s focus is on three among the most philosophic authors of the Order: Isaac of Stella, Garnier of Rochefort, and Hélinand of Froidmont. Finally, it comes to three "satellites»: Guillaume of Saint-Thierry, Alain of Lille, Joachim of Fiore.

Escolhemos a temática a respeito da terra, pois, observamos que a questão da propriedade privada é início e fim da Doutrina em questão, que tem por projeto moldar a sociedade atual como aquela dita necessária para a realização do projeto divino na Terra, através de ações levariam à construção de uma sociedade que retomasse a preocupação com o bem comum. Os documentos que nos embasam nossa pesquisa são, além dos textos base e a documentação referente às Campanhas, as encíclicas papais e diversa bibliografia que transmite os pontos principais da Doutrina Social Católica, além de autores que, de alguma forma, já abordaram questões apontadas pela Doutrina / The present study aims to contrast the Church Social Doctrine presence in assistance action, undertaken by CNBB, through the Fraternity Campaigns from the years 1986, 2002 and 2007, dealing specifically with the land‟s issue. We chose the land‟s theme because we observed that the private property issue is the beginning and the end of the doctrine question, whose design shape today's society such as that expressed need for the creation of the divine plan on Earth, through actions would lead to building a society that, would take the concern for the comfort. The documents that underlie our research are beyond the basic texts and documentation relating to Campaigns, the papal encyclicals and diverse bibliography that conveys the main Catholic Social Doctrine points, and authors who, somehow, have discussed issues raised by the doctrine
