Previous issue date: 2011 / Resumo: Os santos são figuras presentes no universo católico com funções muito específicas: são personagens de religiosidade exemplar, que devem servir de norte para as práticas religiosas dos fiéis e trabalhar como intercessores entre eles e Deus. Eles estão presentes desde os primórdios da Igreja, já no século IV, e sobrevivem a todas as mudanças dogmáticas, doutrinais e teológicas configuradas pela instituição. No entanto, a permanência do santo não subentende a permanência dos discursos de santidade: este é orgânico e adapta-se às necessidades das comunidades em que estavam presentes, assim como aos momentos distintos vividos pela instituição. Suas histórias, constituídas pelos discursos de santidade, são relatadas em textos que são configurativos de um gênero literário próprio, chamado hagiografia. No monumento hagiográfico, a trajetória de vida sagrada de um personagem considerado exemplo de virtude é narrada com três objetivos principais: servir de distração e diversão para os fiéis, como guias de vida católica virtuosa e como textos definidores da moral que deveria permear a piedade e as práticas sociais de uma comunidade em dado período - ou seja, servir de instrumento de manutenção de uma dada ordem social. A hagiografia de Rosa de Santa Maria, primeira santa a ser canonizada na América no século XVII, atendia a esses objetivos, e ia além: o modelo de santidade ao qual ela pertencia seria utilizado como instrumento de conversão e manutenção da religiosidade católica que estava sendo transplantada para as novas colônias espanholas. A figura de Rosa, posteriormente, seria utilizada como baluarte do movimento identitário criollista e se tornaria um guia de espiritualidade para as Américas. O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar com profundidade a obra hagiográfica de Rosa, escrita pelo dominicano Leonard Hansen na década de 1660 para o processo de canonização da santa americana, nascida em Lima, no vice-reino do Peru. Busca-se compreender quais são os discursos de santidade presentes na construção da personagem santificada, assim como os modelos de espiritualidade que ela representa e o pioneirismo do texto como fundador de um novo modelo de piedade específico para a realidade americana dos séculos XVI-XVII. Nossa conclusão final é que a narrativa da vida da santa limenha apresenta todas as características da hagiografia europeia medieval e os elementos simbólicos definidores da figura santoral representativa do modelo tridentino. Portanto, apesar de sua personagem ter sido incorporada como bandeira de movimentos identitários criollistas e como fundadora de uma espiritualidade americana, não há pistas em sua hagiografia que apontem para a conformação de um novo modelo hagiográfico que respondesse às necessidades do novo território / Abstract: The saints are characters present in the catholic realm with very specific duties: they are characters of exemplary religiosity that ought to be considered as guides for religious practices and serve as mediators between the Christians and God. They have been present from the consolidation of the Catholic Church, in the 4th century, and have outlived every single change in the dogmas, doctrines and theology that the institution has faced. However, the permanence of the saintly figure does not imply the permanence of the discourses of sanctity: these are organic and adaptative to the necessities of the communities in which they dwell, as well as to the distinctive moments lived by the institution. Their life stories, constituted by the discourses of sanctity, are told in texts that are configurative of a literary genre on its own, called hagiography. At the hagiographical monument, the sacred life trajectory of a character who is regarded as an example of virtue is narrated for three main purposes: serve as entertainment for the Christians, as a handbook of righteous catholic life and as texts that define the moral that should permeate pity and the social practices of a community within a period - that is to say, serve as an instrument for the maintenance of social order. The hagiography of Rosa de Santa Maria, the first saint to be canonized in America in the 17th century, fulfilled those purposes. It even went beyond: the model of sanctity to which she belonged was to be used as an instrument of conversion and maintenance of the catholic religiosity that was being transplanted to the new Spanish colonies. The figure of Rosa was latter going to be used as the bastion of the identitary criollista movement and would become a spiritual guide for the Americas. The objective of this dissertation is to analyze in depth the hagiographic monument written about Rosa by the Dominican Leonard Hansen in the 1660s for the process of canonization of the saint that was born in Lima, the capital of the viceroyalty of Peru. It was sought to understand which were the discourses of sanctity that were present in the construction of the saintly character, as well as the models of spirituality that she represented and the forwardness of the text as the founder of a new model of pity that was specific for the American reality in the 16th and 17th centuries. The final conclusion was that the narrative of the saint?s life bears all the characteristics of the European medieval hagiographies and the symbolic elements which defined the sanctoral figures of the Tridentine period. Therefore, although the character was incorporated as the bastion of criollista movement and as the founder of a specific American spirituality, there are no signs in her hagiography that point towards the conformation of a new hagiographical model which responded to the necessities of the new territory / Mestrado / Historia Cultural / Mestre em História

“Hereticks for believing the Antipodes”: Scottish colonial identities in the Darien, 1698-1700Chassé, Patrick 11 September 2007 (has links)
New Caledonia (1698-1700) was Scotland’s largest independent colonial venture. The scheme’s collapse crippled the country financially and was an important factor in the Anglo-Scottish Union of 1707. This project explores the identity of Scottish settlers who attempted to colonize the Darien region of modern Panama. Colonial identity is assessed by reconstructing the Scottish dialogue about the natural world, the aboriginal population, and the commonwealth. I contend that the ideology of improvement that shaped Scottish perceptions of utility and fertility in the Darien became a powerful moral discourse used to critique the colonists. This paper also chronicles Scottish aspirations to found an empire of trade and civility, uncovering the fundamental problems created by the idealization of the Tule as eager subjects of this new empire. Finally, I argue that Caledonia’s food shortages not only threatened the colonial government’s legitimacy, they also exposed divergent ideals of the commonwealth among the settlers.
