The thesis illustrates the emergence and development of the types of symbolic capital, networks and fields used by the rulers of Easter Island in their exercise of power, and what possible consequences they may have for their habitus. There is no concrete conclusion, but it is possible to see reasonable course of events, where the archaeological finds form the milestones, and it is possible to trace the formation and expansion of a field, created from material assets, inventions, social thoughts and actions. There are signs of variation, or different phases, in the field, over time. The rulers seem to have tried to control the field by, for example, building monuments, such as ahu and statues, or in other words, the authorities of Easter Island managed to create different types of assets. In addition, various organizational forms, sacred places and buildings, taboos and traditions have been used in the form of ceremonies, rituals and sacrifices of various kinds. This symbolic capital has been used by the rulers to steer residents' work and striving in the desired direction, and to create a habitus that everyone feels involved in. This habitus has probably changed when new businesses entered the market.

A Star Called Henry (1999), do escritor irlandês Roddy Doyle (1958-), é o primeiro livro da trilogia The Last Roundup, cujo protagonista é Henry Smart. Este nasce em Dublin no início do século XX e desempenha papel importante na luta pela independência da Irlanda. Juntamente com os Irish Volunteers, Smart combate no Levante de Páscoa de 1916, auxilia na escrita da declaração de independência do país e torna-se soldado do Irish Republican Army (IRA) durante a Guerra da Independência (1919-1921). Henry é um herói, mas não do tipo clássico: filho de um assassino de aluguel e de uma adolescente pobre, Smart é ladrão desde os primeiros anos de vida e, durante suas lutas pela Irlanda, afirma não estar interessado no ideal nacionalista, uma vez que luta por dinheiro, comida e reconhecimento. Vivendo às margens da sociedade, Henry Smart desconstrói uma aura romântica em torno do Levante, da Guerra da Independência e dos heróis nacionalistas. O ponto de partida desta pesquisa é o questionamento sobre o impulso do autor em escrever um romance histórico em tempos de prosperidade financeira, pois Doyle publica a obra durante o período conhecido como Tigre Celta (1994-2008). Também questionamos por que o autor decide representar Dublin e os heróis nacionais de modo contrastante com o simbolismo nacionalista. Entendemos que o contexto de publicação do romance influencia a produção artística e, dessa forma, ao escolher a temática histórica, Doyle constrói uma crítica ao nacionalismo do início do século XX e também à sociedade do Tigre Celta. O autor entrelaça temporalidades a fim de expor as lacunas e inconsistências do passado e também do presente. / A Star Called Henry (1999), by the Irish writer Roddy Doyle (1958), is the first book of the trilogy The Last Roundup, whose protagonist is Henry Smart. He is born in Dublin at the beginning of the twentieth century and he plays an important role in the fight for Irelands independence. Along with the Irish Volunteers, Smart fights in the 1916 Easter Rising, helps to write the proclamation of independence and becomes a soldier of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) in the War of Independence (1919-1921). Henry is a hero, but not the classic kind: the son of a hired killer and a poor teenager, Smart is a thief since his early years and, when he fights for Ireland, he is not interested in the nationalist ideal, since he fights for money, food and recognition. Living at the margins of society, Henry Smart deconstructs the romantic aura around the Rising, the War of Independence and the nationalist heroes. The starting point of this research is to investigate the authors impulse to write a historical novel in times of financial prosperity, since Doyle publishes the book during the Celtic Tiger era (1994-2008). We also aim to understand why the author decides to represent Dublin and the nationalist heroes in a way that contrasts with the nationalist symbolism. We understand that the context of publication influences the artistic production, and, therefore, when choosing the historical theme, Doyle criticizes both the early twentieth-century nationalism and the Celtic Tiger society. The author intertwines temporalities in order to expose the gaps and inconsistencies of the past and the present.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Abimael Francisco do Nascimento.pdf: 1108943 bytes, checksum: d31781f4fefa92202df2c102c8a9fb44 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-12-16 / This research was guided by the method of literature review, in order to answer the question put on the problem: Which is the relevance and which are the implications of the image of the lamb, attributed to Jesus in the Gospel of John? - This question raises some considerations, such as: the relevance occurs due to the formation of the community that is the basis of this Gospel, as to say, groups that formed the Johannine community, those of the first hour, knew the cultic life of the Israelite tradition and applied it to Jesus through the typology of the lamb. A second consideration is that the lamb was in the worship, either to Jews or Samaritans, an element very present, kept from thanksgiving to the atonement. However, their presence more fixed in memory was that linked to the night of the Exodus, in which God commanded to sacrifice a paschal lamb. This celebration reminded every year the divine intervention and cherished the hope of a new exodus, in which the people would be released from the judge of the empires. The third consideration is on the figure of the lamb and the prophetic tradition of the Second Isaiah, who had proposed a cultic replacement: now a servant, like a lamb, would be the atoning of the sins of the people ( cf. Is 53:7 ). The servant of Isaiah takes the atoning function, something that was reserved for sacrificial rituals. Now, the servant assumes this function. Given this, the salutation of John the Baptist to Jesus (cf. Jn 1:29 ) gains another dimension, but with the possibility of combining the two ideas, as to say, the greeting of the Batista seems to address both perspective of the Paschal Lamb as well as the Suffering Servant. So that the Johannine Jesus assumes the role of lamb, but no more a lamb only to Israel but to the whole world. With this, the salvation of the Lamb-Servant is universal. He plays the role of forgiving sins and to make passing to eternal life, since He reconciles the mankind to God through his blood. The greeting of John the Baptist in John 1:29, in principle shows somewhat understandable, however, from a theological journey that culminates on Golgotha, in John 19.34-36, it is understandable what John the Baptist had announced in the opening week of Jesus' activity. Now, in the Passion, the final Easter is accomplished, full forgiveness is given, through the voluntary surrender of the Lamb of God / Apresente pesquisa pautou-se pelo método de pesquisa bibliográfica, com o fim de responder à questão lançada sobre o problema: qual a relevância e implicações da imagem do cordeiro, atribuída a Jesus, no Evangelho segundo João?- Desta interrogação surgem algumas considerações, tais como: a relevância se dá em virtude da formação da comunidade que está na base deste Evangelho, isto é, os grupos que formaram a comunidade joanina, aqueles da primeira hora, conheciam a vida cultual da tradição israelita e a aplicaram a Jesus por meio da tipologia do cordeiro. Uma segunda consideração é que o cordeiro era no culto, seja para samaritanos ou para judeus, um elemento bastante presente, e cumpria desde a ação de graças até a expiação. No entanto, sua presença mais fixada na memória era aquela ligada à noite da saída do Egito, na qual Deus ordenou a imolação de um cordeiro pascal. Esta celebração lembrava, a cada ano, a intervenção divina e alimentava a esperança de um novo êxodo, que libertasse o povo do julgo dos impérios. A terceira consideração é sobre a figura do cordeiro e a tradição profética do Segundo Isaías, que havia proposto uma substituição cúltica: agora um servo, semelhante a um cordeiro, seria o expiador dos pecados do povo (cf. Is 53,7). O servo de Isaías assume a função expiatória, algo que era reservado a rituais de sacrifício. Agora, o servo assume esta função. Diante disto, a saudação de João Batista a Jesus (cf. Jo 1,29) ganha outra vertente, mas com a possibilidade de aliar as duas ideias, isto é, a saudação Batista parece contemplar, tanto a perspectiva de Cordeiro Pascal, como de Servo Sofredor. De modo que o Jesus joanino assume a função de cordeiro, mas, não mais um cordeiro somente para Israel, e sim para todo o mundo. Com isto, a salvação do Cordeiro-Servo é universal. Ele cumpre a função de perdoar os pecados e de fazer passar para a vida eterna, visto que reconcilia, com o seu sangue, a humanidade com Deus. A saudação de João Batista em Jo 1,29, a princípio se mostra pouco compreensível, no entanto, a partir de um percurso teológico que culmina no Gólgota, em Jo 19,34-36, faz-se compreensível o que João Batista havia anunciado na semana inaugural da atividade de Jesus. Agora, na Paixão, a Páscoa definitiva se realiza, o perdão pleno é dado, por meio da entrega voluntária do Cordeiro de Deus

Le sujet de cette thèse est la société rapanui, quelques 5000 personnes, du nom de l’île qui en est le lieu d’origine et de référence, connue aussi comme l’île de Pâques. Si l’île demeure la référence pour chacun, la « société rapanui » n’est plus limitée à cette île de Polynésie orientale, mais inclut les communautés émigrées, installées au Chili continental (près de la moitié des Rapanui), principalement dans la grande région métropolitaine de Santiago, et un petit nombre à Tahiti, Polynésie française. Pour les Rapanui, Tahiti est un lieu important dans l’histoire de l’île, de la diaspora et dans la formation d’une identité polynésienne. Cette thèse vise à comprendre la configuration de la communauté rapanui, comprendre la manière dont ceux qui se reconnaissent comme « Rapanui » font société aujourd’hui, au travers de leurs relations sociales qui configurent une diaspora non figée mais façonnée par la mobilité entre les divers lieux. Notre démarche est à la fois anthropologique et historique. Nous observons et analysons les communautés contemporaines dans leur vie quotidienne (occupations, rapport de parenté, tenure foncière, rapport à l’histoire) à partir de plusieurs enquêtes de terrain, étalées entre 2006 et 2014, à Hanga Roa, « le » village sur l’île, dans l’immense réseau urbain de Santiago, et dans le quartier de Pamatai à Tahiti où des Rapanui se sont installés au cours de la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle. Ce sont des parcours de vies discutés lors de très nombreux dialogues avec des Rapanui de tous âges et de toutes conditions. Les différents aspects de la diaspora sont le résultat d’une histoire longue, plus d’une fois dramatique, dont il faut remonter les fils, par la mémoire conservée et transmise ainsi que par des archives souvent méconnues jusqu’ici. Comme ailleurs en Océanie, cette histoire inclut l’arrivée des missionnaires et des colons. Mais elle est aussi marquée par les drames que furent les raids esclavagistes venus du Pérou, l’exode vers Tahiti et Mangareva décidé par une collusion entre missionnaires et colons, et puis la transformation d’une île en champ d’élevage de moutons pour une entreprise privée après la mainmise coloniale chilienne et sa féroce politique d’« enfermement », unique dans l’histoire et en place jusqu’en 1966. L’« enfermement » a conduit des Rapanui à s’« évader » de chez eux, au péril de leur vie. Aujourd’hui, c’est une toute autre histoire qui se joue : celle d’un tourisme débridé, de la réappropriation d’un héritage archéologique, de la réaffirmation d’une identité polynésienne et d’un début de développement économique où les Rapanui ont enfin leur part. / The present thesis revolves around a group of about 5000 people, native to Easter Island and how they construct their society, and their relationships within their island and their diasporic communities. It is about the construction of Rapanui identity, how and who is and recognized as "Rapanui". Although the island is the reference point par excellence for Rapanui identity, "Rapanui society" is not limited to this eastern Polynesian island, but includes its migrant communities located in mainland Chile (about half of the population) that lives mainly in the large metropolitan area of Santiago, plus a small number of people that live in Tahiti, French Polynesia. For the Rapanui, Tahiti is an important place in the history of the island and of the diaspora and in the configuration of a Polynesian identity. Rapanui diaspora is not a fixed diaspora but is characterized by the mobility of its people between these different places. The characterization of this diasporic process is the main theme of this thesis. Our study is anthropological and historical. We observed and analyzed contemporary communities in their daily lives (occupations, kinship relations, land tenure, relationship to history). Several field seasons were conducted between 2006 and 2014 in Hanga Roa, the only town of Rapa Nui, as well as in the extensive urban network of Santiago and in the Pamatai neighborhood in Tahiti, where a group of Rapanui settled during the second half of the nineteenth century. Formal and informal interviews and conversations were carried out with Rapanui people of all conditions and ages. The characteristics of the diaspora are the result of a long, often dramatic history, that is threads of which are traced in the preserved and transmitted memories, and the analysis of previously unknown archival documentation. As elsewhere in Oceania, this story includes the arrival of missionaries and settlers. But for Rapanui this history also includes the drama of the slave raids from Peru, the massive exodus to Tahiti and Mangareva colluded by missionaries and merchants, as well as by a unique Chilean colonial policy of confinement that transformed the entire island into a private sheep station until 1966. This policy of confinement would lead to several Rapanui to escape from their home and island, at the risking of their lives. Today the story is very different: it is the story of "overflowing tourism", of the re-appropriation of their archaeological heritage, of the reaffirmation of a Polynesian identity and of the beginnings of an economic development in which the Rapanui finally recover the fruits of their island and their history. / En esta tesis se estudia la sociedad rapanui, unas 5000 personas, que tiene como lugar de origen y de referencia a Rapa Nui, o Isla de Pascua. A pesar de que la isla es el lugar de referencia identitaria por excelencia, la « sociedad rapanui » no se limita solamente a esta isla de la Polinesia oriental, sino que incluye a sus comunidades de emigrantes instaladas en Chile continental (cerca de la mitad de la población) principalmente en la región metropolitana de Santiago, más un pequeño número en Tahiti, Polinesia francesa. Para los rapanui, Tahiti es un lugar importante en la historia de la isla, de la diáspora y en la formación de una identidad polinésica. El objetivo de esta tesis es comprender la configuración de la comunidad rapanui, comprender de qué manera aquellos que se reconocen « Rapanui » construyen su sociedad a través de diferentes tipos de relaciones, organizando una diáspora, una diáspora que no es fija sino que se establece en la movilidad entre los diversos lugares. Nuestro estudio es antropológico e histórico. Observamos y analizamos las comunidades contemporáneas en sus vidas cotidianas (ocupaciones, relaciones de parentesco, tenencia de la tierra, relación a la historia), a partir de varias investigaciones de terreno realizadas entre 2006 y 2014, tanto en Hanga Roa, el único pueblo de Rapa Nui, como en la extensa red urbana de Santiago y en el barrio de Pamatai en Tahiti, donde un grupo de rapanui se instaló durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Son vidas evocadas en diálogos con personas rapanui de todas la condiciones y edades. Las diferentes características de la diáspora son el resultado de una larga historia, más de una vez dramática, de la cual es preciso reconstruir la trama mediante las memorias conservadas y transmitidas, así como por documentos de archivo, muchas veces desconocidos hasta ahora. Como en otras partes de Oceanía esta historia incluye la llegada de misioneros y colonos. Sin embargo, la historia rapanui está definida por el drama que significaron las redadas esclavista venidas del Perú, el masivo éxodo a Tahiti y Mangareva planeado por misioneros y comerciantes, así como por una política colonial chilena de encierro que transformó a la isla entera en una estancia ovejera privada hasta 1966. Este encierro condujo a varios rapanui a intentar escapar de la isla, arriesgando sus vidas. Actualmente es una otra historia, aquella de un «turismo desbordado», de la apropiación de una herencia arqueológica, de la reafirmación de una identidad polinésica y de los inicios de un desarrollo económico por el cual los rapanui recuperan, al fin, parte de las riquezas de la isla y de su historia.

This study investigates the ceremonial village of Orongo and the sacred site of Mata Ngarau. They are located on the southern edge of the Ranu Kau volcano crater, as well as the Motu Nui islet in front of the named volcano. Orongo was the scenario of important political and religious events that submerged Rapa Nui and its inhabitants in a magical story from the mid-1500s to the mid-1800s. This study aims, to some extent, elucidate the context in which the legend and the ritual of the Tangata Manu originates and its importance for the development of the Rapa Nui society. The study examines archaeological, ethnohistorical and contemporary evidences of the birdman cult and contradictory theories about the catastrophe that loomed over the Rapa Nui society The archaeological evidence of those events is the silent testimony of the god Make Make and Tangata Manu, the birdman, the god representative on earth. These are carved on the edge and the slopes of the Ranu Kau crater, in the carved and rupestrian paintings of the stone houses of Mata Ngarau at Orongo, in the caves of the Motu Nui islet and in the one of the cannibals, Ana Kai Tangata. Ethnohistorical evidences provide data on the ritual activities in connection to the birdman cult. The social and environmental degradation which causes of the almost total extermination of its inhabitants as well as the eroding of its culture and with it that of the birdman, Tangata Manu. Today the birdman culture and Orongo is one of the prominent visitors’ sites on the island but interviews with Indigenous Rapanui show that the site also continue to have spiritual and political meaning in today’s society. The modern Rapa Nui society today shows contradictory features. On the one hand we see the face of a thriving, mercantilist society, with hundreds of thousands of tourists visiting it annually and buying handicrafts of dubious local creation. On the other hand, we observe the efforts of hundreds of islanders who struggle to maintain their language, their cultural heritage, their petroglyphs, their cave paintings and their legends. That is the spirit of the rebellion of Tangata Manu.

This paper uses an osteological approach and applies the study of entanglement in an attempt to understand the crematoria on Rapa Nui (Easter Island), which represent a unique tradition within the ceremonial spheres of the Polynesian area. Skeletal remains from the crematorium of ahu Hanga Hahave, which consist of both cremated - and unburned remains, have been analysed to reveal the different practices that took part in the cremation process and to identify the individuals that were deposited in such structure. Ethnohistorical records were applied to interpret the osteological evidence and to discuss the circumstances surrounding the possible use of the crematorium, as either a site for sacrificial offerings or a site for burials.  This paper aims at creating an underlying basis for the study of crematoria on Rapa Nui and provides an overview of the processes central to the disposal of the dead and the usage and significance of this structure. The results of this study showed that the ancient Rapanui through the practice of cremation, followed an internalised structure within their society to complete each cultural act that constituted the crematorium, and these were divided in the construction of the crematorium, the making of fire, and the treatment of the dead. The complexity of each cultural act presents the possibility that an organised society, with at least one designated head, may have been in charge of the practice of cremation physically and spiritually. The skeletal remains could not be applied to determine whether the crematorium of Hanga Hahave was used for sacrificial offering or for burial since the analysed remains only represented one-fifth of the entire bone collection from the crematorium. However, the findings of this study have pointed towards a burial practice rather than a sacrificial one. / Denna uppsats använder ett osteologiskt tillvägagångssätt och Hodders’’entanglement’ studie i tolkningen av krematorierna på Rapa Nui (Påskön), som representerar en unik tradition inom Polynesien. Skelettmaterialet från krematoriet i ahu Hanga Hahave har analyserats för att upptäcka de olika metoder som deltog i kremeringsprocessen och identifiera vilka individer som deponerades här. Etnohistoriska källor användes också i tolkningen av det osteologiska materialet och för att behandla frågorna kring krematoriernas användning: antigen som en plats för offring eller en plats för begravning. Syftet är att skapa en underliggande grund för studiet av krematorierna på Rapa Nui för att ge en överblick på de centrala processerna. Resultatet visade att den forntida Rapanui följde en internaliserad struktur inom sitt samhälle för att slutföra varje kulturell handling som utgjorde kremerings praktik och var uppdelade i konstruktionen av krematoriet, bruken av eld och hantering av de döda. Komplexiteten hos varje handling möjliggör att ett organiserat samhälle, där minst en ledare har varit ansvarig i fysisk eller andlig form. Skelettmaterialet från krematoriet i ahu Hanga Hahave kunde inte användas för att bestämma krematoriets användning eftersom det analyserade materialet endast representerade en femtedel av den totala bensamlingen, dock pekar studiet på en begravningsritual snarare än en offer.

The topic of my diploma thesis is the Danish foreign policy between the years 1945 and 1949 and its relation to the Danish national identity. The main research question is, if and how the Danish national identity influenced the state's shift from the traditional neutrality policy to the North Atlantic Agreement. To understand the national narrative I use a discoursive analysis of selected sources, mainly the daily press and political speeches intended for public. I focuse not only on the image Danes had about them selves, but also on their view of the other agents of the international relations - mainly on the Soviet Union, the United States and the North. Keywords: Denmark, USA, Greenland, Occupation of Bornholm, NATO, UN, Marshall Plan, Easter Crisis 1948
