L'étude de livre d'heures et de prières d'un ensemble familial précis, sous la facette de dépôts de la mémoire et de l'identité personnelle et lignagère est le but de cette thèse. Celle-ci se base sur l'analyse de trente livres à caractère religieux (livres d'heures et de prières principalement) qui appartinrent aux membres d'un même groupe familial étendu dans le temps (du XIVe au XVe siècle), à savoir l'entourage familial de Catherine de Clèves, duchesse de Gueldre (1417-1476). Ce groupe familial constitue, d'une part, une communauté lignagère, soutenue par de forts liens de parenté et d'autre part, une communauté dévotionnelle. Ces liens articulent l'identité ainsi que la culture de l'individu, s'insèrent et se projettent dans les livres d'heures, instruments privilégiés de la dévotion privée, qui en deviennent de véritables dépôts et véhicules de l'identité et de la mémoire de leur propriétaire. Notre étude s'organise en trois parties, cherchant d'abord la définition et la caractérisation de l'ensemble familial, auquel appartenait Catherine de Clèves, particulièrement marqué par l'influence de la maison de Bourgogne, passant, ensuite, par la définition du corpus de manuscrits, pour entrer, finalement, dans l'analyse des formes qui permettent de considérer le livre d'heures comme un locus d'identité et de mémoire (locus memoriae). / The possibility to study Books of Hours and Prayer Books of a determined family group like deposits of memory and personal and lineage identity is the main goal of this thesis which is centered in the analisys of thirty books of religious carácter, being them mainly books of hours and prayer books, that belonged to members of the same family group extended through time (XIVth and XVth Centuries), that is to say, the family entourage of Catherine of Cleves, Duchess of Guelders (1417-1476). This family group is articulated as an ancestral community held by strong bonds of kinship as well as a devotional community. These bonds, that articulate the identity and the culture of the individual, are by different ways projected in the books of hours, a privileged instrument of private devotion. In this way, these ones, are constituted in actual deposits and vehicles of identity and the memory of their possessor. The present study is organized in three parts which progressively advance towards the definition and characterization of the family group to which belonged Catherine of Cleves, particularly marked by the influence of the House of Burgundy, passing through the definition of the corpus of manuscripts to enter, finally, in the analysis of the differents ways that permits to consider book of hours as a locus of identity and memory (locus memoriæ).

Fondé en 1955 par un fonctionnaire bengali, Ananda Marga, « la voie de la félicité », est une secte hindoue qui s’est donné un mode d’organisation à échelle planétaire et s’implique dans des activités missionnaires dans un grand nombre de pays. Dans le paysage religieux de l’Inde contemporaine, elle se distingue par les violences dont ses disciples ont été accusés. L’enquête ethnographique menée en son sein, l’analyse de sa littérature interne et le recueil de témoignages d’anciens disciples montrent que ces violences s’expliquent par les aspirations politiques de son fondateur et de ses membres ainsi que par l’instabilité de son assise économique. Mais pas uniquement. Elles visent également une mutation radicale de la personne du disciple et une transformation profonde la société, deux processus intimement liés. En se soumettant volontairement à des violences psychologiques et physiques, le disciple entend se soustraire aux limitations de l’existence ordinaire. S’il se libère ainsi du monde, c’est pour mieux agir dans le monde au service exclusif de son Gourou et de sa mission. Dotés d’une telle finalité, les actes de violence extrême apparaissent comme les expressions d’une ardeur dévotionnelle poussée à son paroxysme. Cette conception singulière de l’ascétisme prend source dans la culture tantrique bengalie, laquelle tient la force pour une manifestation de l’Énergie divine (śakti) et le Maître pour une divinité incarnée / Founded in 1955 by a Bengali civil servant, Ananda Marga, the "way of bliss", is a Hindu sect with worldwide organization and involved in missionary activities in a great number of countries. In the religious landscape of contemporary India, it is distinctively characterized by the violence for which its followers have been accused. The ethnographical research carried out among this sect, combined with the analysis of its internal literature and the collection of testimonies of former disciples shows that this violence can be explained by the political aspirations of its founder and its members as well as by instability of its economic base. But it can also be explained by two interrelated processes: the profound change in the person of the disciples and a radical transformation of the society. By submitting himself voluntarily to psychological and physical violence, a disciple tries to go over the limitations of ordinary existence. However, he frees himself from this world so that he can be in exclusive service to his Guru and his mission in this world. With such a purpose, acts of extreme violence appear as expressions of devotional fervour pushed to its climax. The source of this peculiar conception of asceticism can be traced in Bengali tantric culture, for which the force represents a manifestation of divine energy (śakti) and the Guru represents an incarnate deity

A pesquisa fundamentou-se no método de análise formal de quinze imagens, selecionadas por apresentarem semelhanças quanto à técnica empregada na manufatura e materiais utilizados na ornamentação. Foram utilizados também os métodos comparativo e iconográfico-iconológico, como forma de identificar influências provenientes de composições artísticas com temáticas similares, estabelecendo semelhanças e diferenças. Considerou-se ainda o objeto de estudo dentro do seu contexto histórico, embasado na história religiosa e história da arte. Foram consultadas fontes primárias e secundárias, documentações museológicas, além das fontes materiais e orais. Mostrou-se o grande número de interpretações iconográficas referentes à infância de Jesus, destacando os aspectos culturais e estéticos que envolveram sua produção e difusão. Identificou-se, nas imagens confeccionadas no Recolhimento dos Humildes, uma grande variedade de elementos utilizados na sua ornamentação, através de um estudo detalhado dos objetos, evidenciando a técnica empregada no trabalho manual das religiosas. A análise dos dados revelou que, apesar de conter elementos iconográficos encontrados em representações artísticas similares, como as esculturas indo-portuguesas do Bom Pastor ou os tradicionais presépios de origem européia, a incorporação e predomínio de elementos da cultura local propiciaram à representação do Menino Jesus do Monte a construção de um modelo iconográfico único. Conclusivamente destacou-se que, sua estética singular, fruto da devoção e sensibilidade feminina, ressalta e revela valores primordiais da produção artística sacra nacional, relevantes para a história da arte. / Salvador

En 1594, l’Ordre des Prêcheurs engage en France une réforme. À la fin du XVIIe siècle, le Maître général Antonin Cloche tente de nouveau d’aviver l’esprit d’observance. Parallèlement, l’Ordre devient pour les pouvoirs politiques, en France et aux Pays-Basméridionaux, un instrument de lutte contre les Réformés. Les dominicains s’engagent également dans tous les débats théologiques internes à l’Église catholique et se mobilisent pour les missions jusqu’aux extrémités de l’Asie. Ces évènements et la glorification des saints suscitent la création d’images gravées sur cuivre, commandées par l’Ordre ou indépendamment de celui-ci. Retrouver ces estampes, françaises et flamandes, comprendre leur processus d’émergence et le but qui leur fut assigné est l’objet du présent travail. L’enquête croise ainsi des données historiques internes à l’Ordre et supranationales. Sur le plan artistique, l’étude accorde une attention particulière, d’une part, à la circulation des graveurs et des modèles et, d’autre part, à l’émergence de styles propres. Ainsi se trouve valorisée l’articulation entre l’épanouissement de la taille-douce au XVIIe siècle, le discours d’un Ordre, et le regard porté sur lui. / This thesis focuses on the representation of the members of the Dominican Order as found in seventeenth century engravings. It seeks to examine the role of the French and Flemish engravers commissioned by the Order of Preachers in order to stress its social and moral importance. The engravings are an integral part of an artistic heritage with his own language, challenging our perception of the Dominican story, and more generally of the history itself. This has enabled us to question the contribution and the capacity of images either to reflect or to distort, like a mirror, the spiritual life and the theological debates in both the Church and in society during the seventeenth century.

This thesis focuses on the gifts of Czech and Moravian nobility to the church during the High Middle Ages. The pious gifts (Donations) are fundamental for the understanding of medieval devotion and for some aspects of medieval society. In the Middle Ages, the last wills and testaments expressed people's wishes, attitudes and intentions with respect both to these worldly and other matters. They express attitudes to other family members, to property, to life and death, to community and social groups, to the Church, to Saints and to God. The pious donations, support for the poor and the burial near Saints open up the gates to Heaven. But the pious donations are not only a part of one's care for the soul and redemption in the Middle Ages. The donations have complicated background. These gifts expressed religious, economic, political and representative intentions of the donors. The Pious gifts are a good tool for research of this part of society. The main aim of thesis is to describe the pious gifts given by the Czech and Moravian nobility from 1200 till mid-14th century. The Thesis based on the analysis of individual donations describes the spectrum of motivation for these gifts and also to describe the function which gifts had in society. Analysis allowed periodizes donation activity of the nobility. With the...

O estudo da religiosidade e da religião na festa é fundamental para a compreensão do mito, rito e os símbolos inseridos na devoção e na promessa ao santo, tendo como inspiração pontual o foco dos rituais, especialmente o rito processional, ou seja, o itinerante que ainda perpassa o século XXI, mesmo diante de tanta dessacralização. O propósito desta pesquisa é refletir no ritual itinerante, diferentes expressões como gestos, silêncio, vestimentas caracterizadas, objetos, bandeiras e sons que se encontram movimentando as relações de proximidade entre o romeiro (devoto e/ou curioso) e o santo. Para tornar esta reflexão fundamentada, decidimos partir de uma pesquisa de campo, durante cinco dias, junto aos frequentadores, devotos promesseiros, tentando coletar informações livres e espontâneas, agregando-a ao material bibliográfico que trata do mito, rito e símbolos utilizados pelo caminheiro na procissão de Santa Luzia. O nosso objetivo é apontar as diversas expressões de religiosidade na festa da Santa Padroeira; pontuar a importância dos ritos itinerantes como fenômeno religioso numa sociedade secularizada; refletir o rito ao ar livre a partir de uma relação próxima entre o fiel e o divino; entender o sincretismo e a noção de sagrado, usando a metodologia da observação-participante, na tentativa de garantir a identidade e práticas sociorreligiosas na festa de Santa Luzia em Mossoró (RN) / The study of religiosity and of religion in the feast is crucial to the understanding of myth,ritual and symbols inserted in devotion and promise to the saint, taking as inspiration the focus point of the rituals, especially the ritual procession, or even touring runs through the twenty-first century, even at such desecration. The purpose of this research is to reflect on the shifting ritual, different expressions such as gestures, silence, clothing characterized, objects, banners and sounds that are moving the close relations between the pilgrim (devout and/or curious) and the saint. To make this reflection based we decided to depart from a field research for five days, along with visitors, devotees promisers, trying to gather free and spontaneous information, adding to the bibliography, dealing with myth, ritual and symbols used by the walker in the procession of St. Lucy. The objective is to point the name of the various expressions of religious feast of the Patron Saint; to emphasize the importance of the rites as itinerant religious phenomenon in a secularizing society, reflecting the open air rite from a close relationship between the believer and the divine; to understand syncretism and the notion of sacred, using the methodology of participant observation on the feast of St. Lucy in Mossoró (RN)

Buscamos identificar, a través de la investigación documental, las experiencias prácticas de estas devociones por los devotos de San Benito y Nuestra Señora del Rosario vivían entre las Hermandades, que, a pesar de todo un proceso de persecución, el rechazo y el conflicto, desafió el momento haciendo símbolos de la resistencia negra en la sociedad Paraibana, la lucha contra la injusticia y la denuncia de los excesos negros seculares y eclesiásticas tanto masacrados en la provincia de Paraiba. Por lo tanto, herencias construidas desde la llegada de los esclavos africanos en la ciudad de Parahyba a partir del siglo XVII, también representan la memoria de un negro Cristiano Brasil, expresaron a través del canto, la danza y la oración de las hermandades. / O presente estudo visa analisar dentro de um recorte de tempo, de forma histórica, antropológica, sociológica e mitológica, as devoções a São Benedito e a Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Pretos na Província da Paraíba do Período Colonial até a República Velha. Buscamos identificar, através de pesquisa documental, as práticas de vivências destas devoções por meio dos devotos de São Benedito e Nossa Senhora do Rosário vividas no meio das Irmandades, que, apesar de todo um processo de perseguição, rejeição e conflitos, desafiaram o tempo se tornando símbolos de resistência negra na sociedade Paraibana, combatendo as injustiças e denunciando os desmandos seculares e eclesiásticos que tanto massacraram os negros na Província da Paraíba. Assim, as heranças construídas desde a chegada dos africanos escravizados na cidade da Parahyba a partir do século XVII, representam também a memória de um cristianismo negro do Brasil, expressado através do canto, da dança e da reza das irmandades.

In 1890, in Brazil, the powers of the State and Church are separated. The Romanization process made official a change of attitude of Catholicism in the face of the problems that had arisen during the Old Republic, in which it sought to broaden its pretensions of influence over society. Among the ambitions to be achieved are: the importation of European Religious Orders and Congregations (Salesians), the installation of a new devotional configuration in the mold of Roman Catholicism; the propagation of a network of private education institutions to form elites. In Sergipe, we analyze the unfolding of the process of Romanization before the establishment and development of the Salesian Congregation, through educational practices and the diffusion of the Devotion to Our Lady Help of Christians. In the Brazilian territory, devotion to Our Lady Help of Christians is widespread and devoted in its basic regions, cities and states. Based in the field of Cultural History, with an emphasis on History and Religion, this research aims to make an analytical study from the History and Salesian Memory, between 1902 and 1958, including the private and family devotional system, and how it was established in the social and history of sergipanos. Understanding this way, the role of Salesian Education, strategic form of diffusion of the process of romanization. The research deals with the concepts of religious experience as an object in the field of history (CERTAU, 1996), representation (CHARTIER, 1990) and symbolic power / religious field (BOURDIEU, 2004). Methodologically, the work consists of the analysis of sources on the presence of the Catholic Church in Sergipe in diverse institutions and places of memory. / Em 1890, no Brasil, os poderes do Estado e Igreja são separados. O processo romanizador oficializou uma mudança de postura do catolicismo frente as problemáticas procedentes durante a República Velha, na qual buscou ampliar suas pretensões de influência sobre a sociedade. Dentre as ambições a serem alcançadas, destacam-se: a importação de Ordens e Congregações Religiosas europeias (Salesianos), a instalação de uma nova configuração devocional conforme os moldes do catolicismo romano; a propagação de uma rede de instituições de ensino privada para formar as elites. Em Sergipe, analisamos os desdobramentos do processo de romanização diante da instauração e desenvolvimento da Congregação Salesiana, por meio das práticas educacionais e da difusão da Devoção a Nossa Senhora Auxiliadora. No território brasileiro, a devoção a Nossa Senhora Auxiliadora encontra-se difundida e devotada nas suas basilares regiões, cidades e Estados. Embasada no campo da História Cultural, com ênfase em História e Religião, está investigação objetiva fazer um estudo analítico a partir da História e Memória Salesiana, entre 1902 e 1958, inclusive do sistema devocionário particular e familiar, e como se estabeleceu no tecido social e histórico dos sergipanos. Compreendendo assim, o papel da Educação Salesiana, forma estratégica de difusão do processo de romanização. A pesquisa versa sobre os conceitos de vivência do religioso como objeto no campo da história (CERTAU, 1996), representação (CHARTIER,1990) e poder simbólico/campo religioso (BOURDIEU,2004). Metodologicamente, o trabalho consiste na análise de fontes sobre a presença da Igreja Católica em Sergipe em diversas instituições e lugares de memória. / São Cristóvão, SE

As Irmandades foram eixos dinamizadores de um modo peculiar de vivência católica, de um catolicismo leigo que marcou de forma indelével a formação religiosa das Minas Gerais. Nessas irmandades, em ocasião das festas de Nossa Senhora do Rosário, reis e rainhas negros eram entronizados e celebrados ao som de músicas, cânticos e bailados executados pelos “irmãos do Rosário”. Esse modo de vivência religiosa manteve-se enraizado na vida dos devotos da “Mãe do Rosário” que ainda hoje a louvam de modo singular em várias partes do Brasil. Mas, esse catolicismo africanizado vivenciado pelos congadeiros, não raras vezes, provocou tensões e disputas entre congadeiros e a hierarquia católica. Nas primeiras décadas do século XX, Dom Cabral, bispo de Belo Horizonte, decretou a supressão do Reinado em toda a diocese. Essa proibição empreendida por Dom Cabral situa-se no contexto da chamada Reforma Ultramontana, que começou a ser implementada no Brasil em meados do século XIX e atingiu a primeira metade do século XX. Buscamos mapear nessa contextura a ação dos grupos e indivíduos envolvidos nesse processo, de modo a delinear a diversidade das experiências mobilizadas e as peculiaridades da implementação das diretrizes do ultramontanismo no âmbito paroquial, em Itaúna/MG, no que tange à proibição do Reinado. Enfatizou-se as formas de inserção do Reinado na Igreja Católica no decorrer do século XX e os modos de reelaboração do catolicismo pela vivência congadeira. / The festivities in honor to Our Lady of the Rosary had constituted the main devotional event organized by black friaries in Colonial Brazil. The friaries were dynamizing axes of a peculiar way of catholic living – of a layman Catholicism that has marked the religious background of Minas Gerais indelibly. At the time of festivities, in these friaries black kings and black queens were enshrined and celebrated to the sound of music, songs and dances performed by the "brothers of the Rosary". This kind of religious experience has remained rooted in the life of the devotees of the "Mother of the Rosary" which still peculiarly praising in various parts of Brazil. However, this africanised catholicism performed by the congadeiros not rarely had caused tensions and disputes between Catholic hierarchy and congadeiros. In the first decades of the twentieth century, Dom Cabral, the Belo Horizonte´s bishop, decreed the abolition of Reinado throughout the diocese. This interdiction taken by Dom Cabral is located within the so called Ultramontane Reform, which started to being implemented in Brazil in the midnineteenth century and reached the first half of the twentieth century. In this contexture, we intend to map the action of groups and specific individuals involved in this process in order to delineate the diversity of experiences and the peculiarities involved in the implementation of Ultramontanism guidelines, specifically in the ambit of chapelry in Itaúna/MG and in what concerns to the Reinado´s prohibition. We had emphasized the ways of Reinado´s insertion in Catholic Church during the twentieth century and the ways of redrawing catholicism by the congadeiro´s experience.
