No. of bitstreams: 1 Selma Peleias Felerico Garrini.pdf: 6213671 bytes, checksum: b5525ec2f4437c1eead0c4c4e2ca5173 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-10-13 / Considering that the newsmagazine Veja is a publication of general interest and of main circulation in Brazil and that it has also been a handbook of socio-cultural behaviour since the 1960s., we chose as the object of this research the image of the female body and its meanings liable to be analysed in the cover reports of Veja Magazine which deal with the cult of the body, since its creation on 11th September 1968 to 2010. Which is the image of the female body that Veja has edited in the course of its 42 years of existence? This is the problem we discuss in this work. Based on this topic, there are other questions which guide this investigation: Which bodies have been excluded by the magazine, from its creation in 1968 until nowadays? Which corporal marks and meanings are codified in the media discourse of Veja? Which corporal features does the magazine reveal and depict? The general objective is to analyse the aesthetic metamorphoses gone trough by the manners of dealing with the body in this weekly newsmagazine and also to verify the way in which the newsmagazine constructed its dialogue with its readers. The specific objectives are: to register and to categorize the different types of bodies which have been presented in Veja, since the beginning of its publication and to identify which models are left out. The central hypothesis of this research is the fact that in media discourse there is no ideal of standardized body, but an unshapely body, normalized by such discourse, in accordance with the social customs and the consumption practices of each period of history, taking into consideration that the corporal spectacularization of Brazilian society is depicted, dissected, observed and dictated by Veja. To accompany the alterations of the bodies and to identify the transforming signs of the feminine image in Brazilian society, the corpus is compounded of 56 Veja covers and the respective cover reports which have as a central subject matter the cult of the body. The methodology of the research went through the following order: bibliographical revision in order to select theoretical bases concerning the question which is proposed in this work and documentary research in order to analyse the images of the body. This work offers the possibility of contributing to the new body studies in the field of Communication and to the analysis of the meanings of the body and behaviour images in Brazil´ s recent history / Considerando que a revista Veja é publicação de interesse geral e de maior circulação no país e também um manual de conduta sociocultural, desde os anos de 1960, o objeto desta pesquisa é a imagem do corpo feminino e suas significações passíveis de serem analisadas nas reportagens de capa da revista Veja que tratam do culto ao corpo, desde sua criação em 11 de setembro de 1968 até 2010. Qual a imagem de corpo feminino que a Veja editou ao longo dos seus 42 anos de existência? Esse é o problema deste trabalho. A partir dai, tem-se outras questões que norteiam essa investigação: Que corpos foram excluídos pela revista, desde sua criação em 1968 até os dias atuais? Que marcas e significações corporais são codificadas no discurso midiático da Veja? Que traços corporais a revista reflete e retrata? O objetivo geral é analisar as metamorfoses estéticas nos modos de tratar o corpo neste semanário, verificando-se ainda como a revista construiu seu diálogo com o leitor. Os objetivos específicos são: registrar e categorizar os vários tipos de corpos apresentados na Veja, desde o início de sua publicação, e identificar quais modelos são deixados de lado. A hipótese central desta pesquisa é que no discurso midiático não há um ideal de corpo padronizado, mas um corpo ultramedido, normatizado por tal discurso, de acordo com os costumes sociais e as práticas de consumo de cada período da história, considerando que a espetacularização corporal da sociedade brasileira é retratada, dissecada, observada e ditada pela Veja. Para acompanhar as alterações dos corpos e identificar signos transformadores da imagem feminina na sociedade brasileira, o corpus é composto de 56 capas da Veja e as respectivas reportagens de capa que têm como tema central o culto ao corpo. A metodologia de trabalho percorreu a seguinte ordem: revisão bibliográfica a fim de selecionar bases teóricas sobre a questão proposta neste trabalho, além de pesquisa documental para análise das imagens do corpo. O trabalho tem a possibilidade de contribuir com os novos estudos do corpo na área de Comunicação e da análise das significações das imagens corporais e comportamentais da história brasileira recente

Syftet med denna uppsats är att hitta en förklaring till varför andliga healinginriktningar med tiden upphör att kunna bedömas som andliga. Undersökningen tar avstamp i hypotesen att socialpsykologiska skäl ligger bakom. Den tidigare forskningen, gjord av Roy Wallis, Stefan Thau et al, Małgorzata Kossowska och Maciej Sekerdej, Juliette Schaafsma och Kipling D. Williams, samt en tidigare uppsats skriven av undertecknad, behandlar därför socialpsykologi med koppling till rörelser. Arbetet undersöker healingorganisationen Reconnective Healing som tidigare kategoriserats som andlig men som nyligen genomgått organisatoriska förändringar. Forskningsfrågorna berör vilka förändringar som skett och vart organisationen idag kan placeras begreppsmässigt. Den teoretiska bakgrunden utgörs av Olav Hammer, Roy Wallis, Christopher Partridge samt Anton Geels och Owe Wikström samt deras begreppsdefinitioner av andlighet, sekt, kult, religion och nyreligion. Även teorier kring socialpsykologi, av Lars Svedberg och Björn Nilsson, presenteras. Metoden för arbetet är kvalitativa intervjuer av Reconnective Healingutövare, samt komparativ analys. Resultatet visar att organisationen rört sig från andlighetsbegreppet och närmat sig begreppet nyreligion. De organisatoriska förändringarna tycks bottna i grundaren Eric Pearls vilja att minska pluralistiska synsätt inom organisationen genom att exkludera medlemmar samt strama åt regler och riktlinjer. Vidare tyder resultatet på att organisationer generellt kanske aldrig kan klassificeras som andliga då socialpsykologin inom gruppsammansättningar skapar faktorer som strider mot det mesta som definierar andlighet. / The purpose of this essay is to find a reason to why spiritual healing movements in time tend to fall outside the concept of spirituality. The hypothesis for this work is that it happens due to the social psychology within  group constellations. Therefore the previous research, by Roy Wallis, Stefan Thau et al, Małgorzata Kossowska och Maciej Sekerdej, Juliette Schaafsma och Kipling D. Williams, and an earlier essay written by me, focuses on social psychology with connections to movements of different kinds. The essay investigates the healing organization Reconnective Healing, which has been categorized as spiritual but might not be anymore, due to some recent organizational changes. The research questions focus on what kind of changes has happened and where the organization can be placed in a concept categorisation today. The theoretical background is based on Olav Hammer, Roy Wallis, Christopher Partridge and Anton Geels and Owe Wikström. It consists of the concept definitions of spirituality, cult, sect, religion and new religion. Moreover, theories evolving social psychology, by Lars Svedberg and Björn Nilsson, is presented. The method used is comparative analysis and qualitative interviews of Reconnective Healing Practitioners. The result shows that the organization has moved from the concept of spirituality towards the concept of new religion. The cause of the organizational changes seems to be the founder, Eric Pearls will to decrease pluralistic views within the organisation, by excluding members and tighten the rules and guidelines. Moreover, the result indicates that organisations in general might never be able to be categorised as spiritual since the social psychology within group constellations creates factors that contradict most contents within spirituality.

L’objet de cette étude est de définir et de préciser les caractéristiques des déplacements de sites dans l’archipel des Cyclades, entre le XIIe siècle et le VIIIe siècle av. n. è. Les quelques études existantes, parfois contradictoires, émettent l’hypothèse que les déplacements se déroulent en trois étapes : un site est abandonné, la communauté se déplace et choisit un nouveau site non loin du premier pour établir un habitat, des lieux de sépulture et des lieux de culte. La validité de ce schéma doit être vérifiée. L’étude établit tout d’abord un bilan du peuplement pour chacune des trente-deux îles retenues. Les sites abandonnés et les sites nouvellement occupés sont répertoriés afin de révéler des discontinuités d’occupation. Des déplacements de sites sont proposés, à titre d’hypothèse. Il est tenu compte du fait que les interprétations sont fondées sur des données matérielles. Les conclusions se révèlent fragiles mais sont fréquemment semblables d’une île à l’autre : les déplacements de sites sont une forme de mobilité spatiale attestée mais dont la mise en œuvre et les facteurs se révèlent plus complexes qu’il ne l’avait été suggéré. Leurs caractéristiques varient aussi en fonction de la période considérée : il faut sans doute envisager une circulation accrue des communautés entre de multiples sites au cours de l’HR IIIC, et non un abandon généralisé des Cyclades ; à partir de la fin du Xe siècle et au cours du Géométrique, les déplacements de sites sont de plus en plus partiels et rares. Cette étude tente de modéliser une forme de mobilité spatiale, ce qui permet de mieux appréhender l’organisation sociale des communautés, objet d’étude central pour cette période. / This doctoral thesis aims at defining and establishing the main characteristics of site relocations, which took place in the Cyclades from the 12th to the 8th centuries BCE. According to scholars who have addressed this form of human mobility and drawn contrasting conclusions, site relocation is a three-stage process: a settlement along with its burial sites and cult places are abandoned, its community moves away and resettles a short distance away, on the very same island. This pattern is placed under scrutiny. First, data is collected in order to describe the islands’ settlement patterns over the period. Abandoned sites and newly occupied sites are recorded; settlement discontinuities are highlighted. Some hypothetical instances of site relocations are suggested. Conclusions are all the more tenuous as they derive from the analysis of artefacts. However, the thirty-two islands that have been investigated seem to follow about the same patterns: site relocation is indeed a relevant notion. Yet, this type of human spatial mobility appears to be far more complex than originally believed, notably in terms of planning and factors. The time span is divided into the LH IIIC, Protogeometric and Geometric periods and site relocation’s definition varies accordingly. Communities probably moved from site to site in the LH IIIC period: the Cyclades were not altogether abandoned. From the 10th century onwards, including the Geometric period, site relocations grew rare or were not completed. This dissertation tentatively models a category of human mobility while trying to offer some insight into the social organisation of communities, which remains a focus of scholarly attention.

Ce travail est consacré au culte rendu aux dieux à Ougarit dans son contexte syrien. Le but est d’avoir recours à toutes les sources archéologiques, iconographiques, archéozoologiques et épigraphiques pour appréhender les cultes qui étaient rendus aux dieux à Ougarit. Pour saisir la spécificité des cultes pratiqués à Ougarit, mais aussi leur ressemblance avec ceux de la même zone culturelle, je me suis proposé d’établir une comparaison avec d’autres cultes, par exemple ceux qui étaient pratiqués dans la région du nord de la Syrie à l’âge du Bronze moyen Alalaḫ, Qatna, Mari, Terqa, Tuttul, Ekalte et à l’âge du Bronze récent comme à Emar. Cela m’a permis, notamment d’étudier les liens entre ces différentes manières de pratiquer le culte. L’importance de cette étude réside dans la confrontation et la nouvelle présentation des différentes sources. Cette étude essaie de faire la lumière sur plusieurs points concernant le culte d’Ougarit, notamment le culte officiel et familial, ainsi que la place qu’il occupait à l’âge du Bronze moyen et récent. / This work is a study of ritual and cult at Ugarit within its broader Syrian context. The aim is to present and analyze a corpus of relevant documents, which derive from a variety of sources, be they archeological, iconographic, epigraphic, or archeozoological, in order better to define, not only which cults were practiced at Ugarit, but also to highlight their similarities with the religious practices documented in neighboring cultural areas, especially in north Syria during the Middle and Late Bronze Age. The comparative data thus derive from Alalakh, Qatna, Mari, Terqa, Tuttul and Ekalte for the Middle Bronze Age and Emar for the Late Bronze Age. Several problems particular to the cult at Ugarit are explored, such as the difference between official (public) and family (private) worship, but these are set against the background of the Middle and Late Bronze Age setting. The importance of the study lies in its comparative approach, casting light on the similarities, despite the obvious differences in worship.

A presente pesquisa visa analisar aspectos da natureza das práticas rituais realizadas em determinadas estruturas absidais* de grande porte em sítios gregos da Idade do Ferro. Muitos autores afirmam que nessas estruturas as práticas rituais funerárias assumem as características de um verdadeiro culto heróico. Contudo, também observam que na grande maioria dos casos, é difícil estabelecer uma distinção clara entre as evidências que denotam funções sagradas e aquelas que denotam funções profanas. Para tentar entender melhor essas limitações de funções e também as próprias características dos aspectos religiosos da Idade do Ferro, selecionamos quatro sítios onde essas estruturas absidais são encontradas e datadas entre os séculos XI e VIII a.C.: o Mégaron A e o Mégaron B em Thermos, na Etólia, o Edifício Toumba em Lefkandi, na ilha da Eubéia, os Edifícios C, D e S em Asine, na região da Argólida e o Edifício A (ou Daphnephoreion) e o Templo D em Erétria, também localizada na ilha da Eubéia. Pretendemos realizar um estudo desses casos, relacionando o exame dos aspectos arquitetônicos com a análise da cultura material associada a essas estruturas. Comparando os dados entre si, objetivamos levantar algumas considerações sobre a natureza dessas práticas rituais, relacionando-as com a documentação textual e imagética disponível. Objetivamos por fim, indicar algumas questões a respeito da importância e das implicações dessas práticas rituais no contexto sócio-político, principalmente nos séculos IX e VIII a.C. / This research aims to analyze the aspects of ritual practices that took place in monumental apsidal structures* in Greek sites of Iron Age (1100 to 700BC). Many authors believe that these funerary practices are dressed up as a real hero cult. Though, they also observe that generally is really difficult to establish a clear distinction between the sacred and the profane functions fulfilled by these structures. We have chosen four sites where these structures can be found and dated to the 11th to 8th BC in order to understand better the interaction between the sacred and the profane activities, investigating the religious aspects of the Greek Iron Age: Megaron A and Megaron B in Thermos, the Toumba building in Lefkandi, Buildings C, D e S in Asine and Building A (or Daphnephoreion) and Temple D in Eretria. We intend to link the exam of architectural aspects to the archaeological material associated with the apsidal structures. Our purpose is to establish a comparative analysis between the archaeological data, the written and the image sources available for this period, providing considerations about the meaning, and the implications of the religious nature of these sites related to the rise of the polis

With the 2012 releases of The Cabin in the Woods and The Avengers, writer/director Joss Whedon moved beyond his cult status and into the mainstream. His cult television work, however, remains admired in both the popular imagination and in the academic world of popular culture studies. This year’s CSCA13 corresponds with the ten-year anniversary of the cancellation of Whedon’s first successful cult television show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Whedon’s other work, including Firefly, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog, Dollhouse, Angel, etc., are not only cult fan favorites, but favorites in popular culture academia. The participants on this panel will explore various aspects of Whedon and the Whedonverse, including: Whedon’s rhetorical framing regarding his transformation from cult director to mainstream phenom; his genre-bending frameworks across his various projects; his examination of gender roles; exploring and exploding Whedon’s use of mythology; and how Whedon’s characters manage to out-organize formal organizations.

<p>The cult of Joan of Arc has always had an effect on the people of France, throughout history. It has aspired too many different views and re-surfaced at times in crisis for France. During some turbulent years after the mid 19^th century the cult seems to have gained popularity. Emotional and historical writing became a fashion and Joan was presented in different ways depending on the writer and his motifs. As nationalistic front gained in popularity they understood to use her symbol in the name of France.</p><p>This following study, named <em>French Nationalism and Joan of Arc: the Use of the Cult of Joan of Arc in France between 1871-1926</em>, has been an attempt to study her cult from an ultra nationalistic point of view. By approaching the subject by a history of ideas theory I have tried to answer my questions in the matter, and tried to de-code the image of Joan of Arc in the name of nationalism. By first studying the nationalistic development in France as background and the basics and philosophy of the ideas I have then begun the research of the period mentioned. First and foremost I have studied the framework of nationalism and then I have used material coherent to my study, such as Action Française, writers of the 19^th-20^th century and other studies. I have come to learn that the cult of Joan was perfect for the time when ultranationalistic feelings grew in the late 19^th century as a response to the ever twisted Dreyfuss-affair. Along with nationalism came anti-Semitism and fascism and in the line of Action Française also royalism. Joan of Arc stood for all those things, at least that is what the nationalist thought, using history and documents to back it up. And if the legend did not fit the purpose, it was made to fit, all in the ideology of nationalism. Joan of Arc became the symbol they wanted for all their own beliefs. Joan of Arc was to be a piece of raw clay, able to take on any form in the hands of politics.</p>

El presente trabajo pretende trazar una panorámica de los santos a los que se rinde o se ha rendido culto en la actual Diócesis de Cartagena-Murcia sobre la base de un trabajo de campo lo más riguroso que ha sido posible realizar. La hagiografía, que estudia a los más eximios de los creyentes, es de gran relieve en la vida cristiana y en el pensamiento de la Iglesia. Pero además la hagiografía a veces es un elemento relevante de la historia del cristianismo en una zona y de la vida misma en esa zona. Y con frecuencia el culto a los santos constituye un capítulo esencial de la historia local y de su devenir histórico. El catálogo de santos a los que se ha dado culto en una diócesis es algo importante. Tal es el objeto de esta tesis. / This paper pretends to draw a panorama of the saints worshipped in the present or the past in the Diocese of Cartagena-Murcia on the basis of a fieldwork as more rigorous as possible. Hagiography, the discipline that studies the most eminent of believers, is of great importance in the Christian life and in the thought of the Church. But, apart from that, it is also a significant element in the history of Christianity, and of life itself, in a given area. And often the cult of saints is an essential part of local history and its development. The catalogue of saints worshipped in a diocese is something important. Such is the aim of this thesis.

Many archaeologists have been intrigued by how often symbolic houses of varying forms are used on the burialgrounds of the Scandinavian Bronze Age. Some scholars even claim that to deal with the dead did not mean to set them apart from the world of the living during this period. Since several examples show that there seem to be an active connection between the ship-setting and different types of symbolic houses, this study seek to demonstrate and interpret how the ideology behind these symbols vary between three regionally different Swedish areas: Halland, Småland and Gotland. The purpose is to show that the way chosen to shape the symbols materially not only had fundamental impact on the organization of the burialground itself, but also on how the surrounding world came to comprenhend and use them. This study suggests that even though the special shapes of the graves and the gravefield itself can carry meaning, the materialization of the monuments can be interpreted as incorporated in a practice of remembrance in where the individual shaping of the grave most probably formed part of a greater story.

The cult of Joan of Arc has always had an effect on the people of France, throughout history. It has aspired too many different views and re-surfaced at times in crisis for France.
