Bibeln på mina egna villkor : En studie av medierade kontakter med bibeln med särskilt avseende på ungdomar och Internet / The Bible on my Own Terms : A Study of Mediated Contacts with the Bible with Special Reference to Youth and the InternetSjöborg, Anders January 2006 (has links)
Does mediation via the Internet contribute to the use of the Bible as a cultural resource, and if so does this contribute to other ways of relating to the Bible as an authority? This is investigated in three steps. Firstly, quantitative survey data concerning Bible reading and other forms of contact with the Bible as well as attitudes to the Bible are scrutinized for variation over time and generational differences. Secondly, patterns of use on a Swedish Christian ecumenical web site on the Bible targeted at teenagers are explored. Thirdly interviews with young users of this web site are assessed in terms of detraditionalization. Earlier results emphasizing the privatizing effect of the mediation of religion are complemented by considering a cultural component against which the individual relates to religion in a manner which is both private and social. This study supports the findings of earlier studies on the Internet and religion, as to the significance of factors such as offline experiences of religion, attitude to pluralism, and technical features online. This study adds to those results by exposing how these features come into play in the use of a Christian website, and that such a site may also work as an arena for young people from diverse religious backgrounds. Thirdly, the role of the mediation of religion via the Internet for religious and social change is understood in a reciprocal manner: the Internet is a product of a time of insecurity, an agent contributing to this insecurity, as well as a cultural response to this insecurity. It is argued that the use of the studied website can be seen as detraditionalization, in terms of weakening of traditions and individualization of religion. The concept virtual plausibility structure is suggested for understanding the role of the Internet in between the individual and the social in late modernity.

Previous issue date: 2007-10-03 / The chinese medicine originally was the part of magic-religious universe,
fundamented on the taoist cosmology and later suffered due to the influence of confucionism
and budism. It passed through several modifications during the history of milleniums of
China; was secularized after the Cultural Revolution and assimilated western characteristics in
the recent times. The application of needles is one of its teraphic tecniques, which has been
translated as acupuncture to the western culture since XVII century.
The ample diffusion of acupuncture in the last decades which was accompanied by the
socio-historical transformations permitted its assimilation to the new cultural contexts. The
eastern medicinal techniques were valued in the west during the period of counter culture,
which contested the rational cientific knowledge as unique producer of the truth e cartesian
separation between body, mind and spirit. Parallelly the imporation of medicinal treatments,
paved the way in the modification in the western religious conceptions and emerged new
corporities which favoured the adoption of eastern practices of health.
With the result of the process of inclusion of acunpuncture in the western contexts,
new ways of practicing the chinese therapy have emerged, several reinventions of the art of
application of needles have taken place in order to adapt to the western cosmovision and to
the life in modern times.
The objective of this dissertation is to present the historical reconstruction of
transformation of medicine in China and in the West; the transplantation of acupuncture as an
element desconnected to the original simbolic universe to the western countries, and the
process of adoption of acupuncture in the brazilian society, delienating the possible modes of
practing acupuncture in contemporary Brasil / A medicina chinesa originalmente era parte de um conjunto mágico-religioso,
fundamentava-se na cosmologia taoísta e sofreu influências do confucionismo e budismo.
Passou por diversas modificações durante a milenar história chinesa, foi secularizada após a
Revolução Cultural e na atualidade adquiriu características ocidentais. A aplicação de agulhas
é um dos seus métodos terapêuticos, que vem sendo traduzido como acupuntura para o
Ocidente desde o século XVII.
A ampla difusão da acupuntura nas últimas décadas foi acompanhada por
transformações sócio-históricas que permitiram sua assimilação em novos contextos culturais.
As medicinas orientais foram valorizadas no Ocidente a partir da contracultura, que
contestava o conhecimento racional científico como único produtor da verdade e a separação
cartesiana entre corpo, mente e espírito. Paralelamente à importação de tratamentos
medicinais, ocorreram modificações nas concepções religiosas ocidentais e emergiram novas
corporeidades que favoreceram a adoção de práticas orientais de saúde.
Como resultado do processo de inclusão da acupuntura em contextos ocidentais,
surgiram novos jeitos de praticar a terapêutica chinesa, várias reinvenções da arte de aplicação
das agulhas para adaptação à cosmovisão ocidental e ao modo de vida moderno.
O objetivo dessa dissertação é apresentar uma reconstrução histórica das
transformações da medicina na China e no Ocidente, da transplantação da acupuntura como
elemento desvinculado do conjunto simbólico original para países ocidentais, e do processo
de adoção da acupuntura na sociedade brasileira, delineando os possíveis modos de praticar
acupuntura no Brasil contemporâneo

Os sem religião e a crise do pertencimento institucional no Brasil: o caso fluminense / The without religion and the crisis of institutional affiliation in Brazil: the fluminense caseDenise dos Santos Rodrigues 17 August 2009 (has links)
Esta tese tem como objetivo entender o significado de se autodeclarar sem religião no Brasil. Longe da aparente uniformidade apresentada pelos recenseamentos, os sem religião se confirmam como uma categoria residual heterogênea, composta por tipos distintos que refletem algumas das principais tendências da atualidade. É um grupo multifacetado onde estão, de um lado, ateus e agnósticos, aparentemente secularizados; de outro, indivíduos que misturam vários modelos de religiosidade. Essa categoria expressa o afastamento das instituições religiosas do domínio privado, onde as individualidades se manifestam das mais variadas formas, em pleno exercício de suas autonomias. Nesse estado, aproximar-se ou afastar-se do transcendente torna-se uma questão de foro íntimo, cuja decisão cabe a cada individuo na sua intimidade. A modernidade que acompanha o processo de secularização, parece ter aberto espaço nas sociedades ocidentais contemporâneas, entre outros aspectos, para a instalação de uma crise do pertencimento, através da reavaliação dos laços tradicionais. / The purpose of this thesis is to understand what does it mean when someone is declared as without religion in Brazil. Far from the superficial standardization presented by the national census, the category of without religion confirms itself as an heterogeneous residual group, composed by distinct types of people which reflect some of the main tendencies of the present times. This is a multiform group that can be subdivided into two. While the first one consists of atheists and agnostics apparently secularized; the second is made up from individuals that mix up many models of religiousness. It points out the distance of the religious institutions from the private sphere, where the individualities express themselves in different ways, exercising their autonomies. In such atmosphere, getting closer or moving away from the transcendent becomes a matter of private choice, a decision of each individual in its intimacy. Thus, the modernity that comes together with the secularization in the contemporary occidental societies seems to have open the door to the installation of a crisis of affiliation stimulated by the revaluation of the tradition laces.
