In this search for paradise in this life, as in the afterlife, the Florentine poet wrote one of the most studied and recited poems in the world, Commedia. Amid political quarrels within Florence, which Dante considered his paradise, the poet was exiled and through his writing roamed the Italian courts in search of a paradise in this life. In this work, we try to demonstrate how this process hapened, either by the political disputes in which Dante became involved, as well as in his defense to the Empire and oposition to the Papacy. The choices of the guides during their imaginary journey and the inspiration in the Byzantine mosaics of Ravenna, were also of fundamental importance for the composition of the Commedia. Thus, we seek to follow the trail and paths traveled by the poet in his incessant search for a paradise, still in this life. / A sociedade cristã sempre imaginou uma recompensa paradisíaca na vida após a morte e com Dante Alighieri não foi diferente. Nesta busca pelo paraíso, tanto nesta vida, quanto na vida após a morte, o poeta florentino escreveu um dos poemas mais estudados e recitados no mundo, a Commedia. Em meio a disputas políticas dentro de Florença, que Dante considerava seu paraíso, o poeta foi exilado e por meio de sua escrita vagou pelas cortes italianas em busca de um paraíso nesta vida. Neste trabalho procuramos demonstrar como se deu este processo, seja pelas disputas políticas em que Dante se envolveu, bem como na sua defesa ao Império e oposição ao Papado. As escolhas dos guias durante sua viagem imaginária e a inspiração nos mosaicos bizantinos de Ravena, também foram de fundamental importância para a composição da Commedia. Assim, procuramos seguir as trilhas e os caminhos percorridos pelo poeta em sua busca incessante por um paraíso, ainda nesta vida.

This dissertation describes a method for constructing a religious environmental ethic modeled on the spiritual practice of lectio divina, or devotional reading. Lectio divina is an explicitly religious way of reading, distinguished from other modes of reading not by what is read--even sacred scriptures can be read for mastery of content, for entertainment, etc.--but by how it is read. In lectio divina, the reader engages the text with a willingness to be transformed by an encounter with the sacred, mediated somehow by the text. This vulnerability is inherent in a religious reading, as is the intimacy implicit in the repeated engagement with the text that is central to the practice of lectio divina. The emphasis on vulnerability and intimacy marks this religious approach to environmental ethics as a form of virtue ethics. Consistent with the traditional insight conveyed by the two-books metaphor, whereby Christians believed God was revealed both in the Book of Scripture and the Book of Nature, I map the classic stages of lectio divina onto a reading not of scripture but of the natural world. Paying attention requires careful observation, the naming and description of relevant details, and awareness and articulation of emotional responses as one repeatedly visits natural settings. Pondering requires a willingness to enter deeply into the religious, scientific, and other sources that help us understand the natural world and our place within it, as well as a willingness to reflect critically upon those sources. Responding calls upon readers of nature to take definite actions that flow out of the previous stages of paying attention and pondering, utilizing knowledge born of familiarity to address environmental challenges while also protecting natural settings in which the unnamable sacred can be encountered. Surrendering involves acknowledging human limits of understanding, will, and action, and nonetheless finding rest and restoration by trusting in some force beyond the merely human. I illustrate this argument with interpretations of literary works by Terry Tempest Williams, thereby asserting the relevance of religiosity to human transformation and to efforts to imaginatively embody human-land relationships that further human and ecological flourishing.

This dissertation studies adaptations of monastic literary culture between the first decades of the fifteenth century and the beginning of the English Reformation. My discussion focuses on the writings of John Whethamstede, John Lydgate, Richard Whitford and Thomas More. I argue that, while these authors aim to satisfy readers’ desires for elaborate and authoritative forms of piety, they actually provide models of reading and patterns of disciplined living that restrict lay piety within orthodox boundaries. I begin with an introductory chapter that situates this adaptation of monastic reading within broader literary and cultural developments, such as the growing popularity of humanist reading and Protestantism, in order to demonstrate that monastic ideals remained culturally relevant throughout this century. This chapter also aims to prompt a further reassessment of the division that is often created between the medieval and early modern periods. Chapters Two and Three focus on the use of monastic reading practices within a Benedictine context. Chapter Two examines the historiographic poetry and prose of John Whethamstede in which the abbot both positions himself at the forefront of contemporary Latin literature and, at the same time, signals the differences that set the cloistered reader apart from his secular counterpart. Chapter Three examines Lydgate’s incorporation of monastic devotional culture into the Life of Our Lady through the depiction of the Virgin as living out an exemplary religious vocation and through the arrangement of the text to facilitate calculated meditative responses from readers. Chapters Four and Five then shift to the first decades of the sixteenth century. Chapter Four examines Richard Whitford’s orthodox programme of monastic and social reform that aimed not only to meliorate the individual’s ethical life but also to revitalize Catholicism and engage directly with Protestantism. Finally, Chapter Five looks back two decades to investigate More’s borrowings from different elements of religious life in his Life of Pico and Utopia that seek to manage the spiritual aspirations of the laity and to depict a society in which, much as in a monastery, the desires of the individual are shaped by and subordinated to the ideals of the community. / Thesis (Ph.D, English) -- Queen's University, 2009-10-30 11:56:09.669

El propósito general de nuestro trabajo es ofrecer un análisis del lugar que ocupó la voluntad divina en el corpus leibniziano. Lo voluminoso de la obra de Leibniz, sus dificultades de datación, la virtud grafómana de nuestro filósofo y el modo apretado en que trabó un concepto con otro, han llevado a una gran dispersión interpretativa que, por lo general, no se ha detenido a analizar de manera lo suficientemente “autónoma” el rol preponderante que Leibniz fue otorgando a esa facultad. La prevalencia de las “interpretaciones intelectualistas” en la literatura secundaria tiende a desdibujar el protagonismo que sucesivamente adquiriría la voluntad divina en el plan de una fundamentación de la teodicea leibniziana. La conciliación de los atributos de Dios con la existencia del mal en el mundo surgió tempranamente de la necesidad de combatir el sofisma que responsabiliza a Dios por las faltas y sufrimientos humanos. La voluntad estuvo en el centro de la cuestión desde los primeros años de la década de 1670. No obstante, el fuerte intelectualismo de esta primera época parece haber sellado las claves de un cuasi monopolio interpretativo que arroja a la voluntad al lugar segundón que le deja el entendimiento.

Como atestam Cassirer e Starobinski, no bojo das considerações sobre a questão da origem do mal, Rousseau entra em conflito com os defensores dos dogmas da tradição religiosa do século XVIII e, ao mesmo tempo, propõe uma experiência religiosa fundada no princípio da consciência moral. A leitura das cartas endereçadas a Philopolis, a Voltaire e ao Arcebispo de Beaumont revela que as convicções pessoais do genebrino se chocam com uma importante noção conexa ao tema do mal: o dogma da perversidade intrínseca da natureza humana e o conseqüente apelo à intervenção divina para a redenção do sofrimento nascido do pecado original. Em lugar dessa noção, Rousseau oferece o postulado da bondade da natureza originária do homem e uma justificação da Providência enquanto instância garantidora da mera existência de agentes livres e responsáveis pela importunidade de seus próprios sofrimentos. O sentido revolucionário dessas idéias parece estar dirigido para a fundação de um direito em nome do qual o homem pode reivindicar uma subjetividade livre e capaz de reger, com absoluta autonomia, o curso de sua própria história. / Salvador

A escolha desses contos deve-se ao fato de eles apontarem, de forma exemplar, a existência de uma força providencial capaz de alterar o rumo dos fatos e da vida das personagens neles envolvidas. Tomamos como ponto de partida a idéia de que é essa providência que move a ação nas composições selecionadas e procuramos analisar o modo como o escritor articula todos os elementos da narrativa, conduzindo-a ao momento da ação providencial, ou seja, à mudança aparentemente brusca que se dá na vida das personagens graças à influência de uma força superior ordenadora. Com uma estrutura singular e linguagem poética, Guimarães Rosa cifra a disseminação da ação providencial nos interstícios das histórias de Sionésio e Maria Exita, da vaquinha pitanga e o filho de Seo Rigério, de Seo Cesarino e Pedro Mourão e de Drizilda e das velhinhas. Sendo assim, trabalhamos com a idéia de que essas quatro narrativas alegorizam, de maneiras diferentes, um mesmo sentido que transcende as histórias em questão. / This paper concentrates on the data collection and analysis of the different ways of acting of the divine providence in four short stories written by Guimarães Rosa: “Substância” and “Seqüência” belonging to Primeiras estórias of 1969, “A estória do Homem do Pinguelo” which can be found in the posthumous book Estas estórias of 1969 and “Arroio-das-antas” in Tutaméia of 1967. The choice of these short stories is due to the fact that they point, exemplarily, to the existence of a providential strength which is capable of changing the direction of the facts and of the lives of the characters involved in them. As a starting point, we take the idea that this providence moves the action in the selected compositions and we analyze the way in which the writer articulates all the elements of the narrative, conducing it to the moment of the providential action, in other words, to the apparently abrupt change that happens in the lives of the characters due to the influence of a superior ordering strength. Having a unique structure and poetic language, Guimarães Rosa codes the dissemination of the providential action in the interstices of the stories about: Sionésio and Maria Exita; the little red cow and Seo Rigério’s son; Seo Cesarino and Pedro Mourão and Drizilda and the old ladies. Taking this into account, we work with the idea that these four narratives allegorize, in different ways, the same meaning that transcends the stories in question.

Following the trajectory of one of the greatest Umbanda´s authors, this dissertation analyzes the emergence of a new chain of umbanda. Created by Rubens Saraceni in the late 90´s, the so called Divine Magic inserts in Umbanda´s terreiros the use of mandalas, giving to the old Umbanda´s symbols a new look, linked to the esoteric and modern urban movements. Reaching new audiences, the expansion of this new "energetic" Umbanda ", merges in terreiros the classroom and the altar. The integration of courses and practices of Divine Magic on the terreiros features various implications, such as the formation of a network of interconnected terreiros and the emergence of groups and representatives in order to strengthen and unify within the Umbanda. This effort of indoctrination and standardization of practices next to the insertion of a new conflict resolution´s key seems to offer us clues about the contemporary Umbanda movement itself, part of the religious Market is greater than the Umbanda itself. / A história da Umbanda no Brasil é marcada desde sua fundação pela intensa publicação de livros doutrinários e literários escritos por diferentes correntes litúrgicas, representantes também de diferentes associações políticas. Seguindo a trajetória de um dos maiores autores atuais da umbanda paulista, a presente dissertação analisa a emergência de uma nova corrente umbandista. Criada por Rubens Saraceni no final dos anos 90, a chamada Magia Divina insere nos terreiros umbandistas a utilização de mandalas, oferecendo aos antigos símbolos umbandistas uma nova roupagem, ligada aos movimentos esotéricos e modernos urbanos. Alcançando novos públicos, a expansão dessa nova umbanda “energética”, mescla no terreiro a sala de aula e o altar. A inserção dos cursos e práticas da Magia Divina nos terreiros apresenta implicações variadas, como a formação de uma rede de terreiros interligados e o aparecimento de grupos e representantes com intuito de fortalecimento e unidade dentro da umbanda. Este esforço de doutrinação e padronização das práticas ao lado da inserção de uma nova chave de resolução de conflitos, parece nos oferecer pistas a respeito do próprio movimento umbandista contemporâneo, parte do cenário religioso maior do que a própria umbanda.
