O foco da análise serão as narrativas sobre estes líderes marcados para morrer , que nos oferecem ferramentas para pensar de que forma suas trajetórias pessoais, assim como as ameaças que antecederam os assassinatos por encomenda destes personagens, provocaram outros pontos de vista sobre a morte/violência nesses espaços de luta. Esta topologia é uma tentativa de organizar uma lógica de pensamento que reconheça a transição entre vida e morte, articulada pelas diversas experiências de conflitos e enfrentamentos que perpassam o direito de permanecer em territórios historicamente ocupados e apropriados por esses coletivos / This research aims to highlight, from three ethnographic experiences, some of the manners for the translation of leaders assassinations, respectively union workers, religious, farmers and indigenous, in areas historically marked by intense land conflicts in Brazil: São Geraldo do Araguaia (PA), Ribeirão Cascalheira (MT) and Pesqueira (PE), in order to discuss the transformation/generation of Raimundo Ferreira Lima (Gringo), João Bosco Penido Burnier and Francisco de Assis Araújo (Xicão Xukuru) in the land martyrs and/or enchanted, made present in the pilgrimages arising from these events, the pilgrimages of the martyrs of the walk. The focus of the analysis will be the stories about these leaders "marked for death", which offer us tools to think about how their personal trajectory as well as the threats that preceded the ordered murders of these characters caused other points of view on the death/violence in these spaces of struggle. This topology is an attempt to organize one logic of thought that recognizes the transition between life and death, articulated by various experiences of conflict and confrontation, which underlie the right to remain in the territories historically occupied and appropriated by these collectives

This bachelor’s thesis studies the construction of martyrs and martyrdom in Palestine. The study uses a discourse analysis to analyse data gathered from focus group interviews with Palestinian university students in the West Bank. Observations in the West Bank are also used to an enhanced understanding of the production. The theoretical framework of the thesis is based upon thoughts about nations and nationalism. The theoretical framework is connected to the Palestinian nation and nationalism to comprehend how martyrs and martyrdom are constructed in Palestine. The analysis is divided into five chapters: The first chapter discusses the importance of martyrs and martyrdom in Palestine. In the second chapter, tributes to martyrs are discussed. The meaning of martyrs and martyrdom are analysed in an abstract way in the third chapter, which focuses on martyrs’ ideology and ethical considerations. The fourth chapter analyses the construction of martyrs and martyrdom trough concrete Palestinian examples. The last chapter discusses martyrs and martyrdom in a non-Palestinian Arabic/Islamic context, the chapter analyses nonterritorial communities. Conclusions that are drawn, are that martyrs and martyrdom have no meaning, instead the phenomena are constructed in different ways depending on what discourse it is that produces martyrs and martyrdom. Three main discourses are found. The first and strongest is the Palestinian nationalism. The other are Islam and Arab, that influence and are influenced by the Palestinian nationalism. Furthermore, martyrs and martyrdom are constructed as morally/ethically good and innocent, the phenomena also produced good and innocence to the Palestinian nation.

O presente trabalho procura analisar a polêmica judaico-cristã em relatos de martírio durante a perseguição romana aos cristãos até o século IV. Abordaremos as principais temáticas que compunham essa polêmica em outras fontes cristãs e judaicas para indicar um cenário possível que pudesse alimentar conflitos entres os dois grupos religiosos. Defenderemos que essa rivalidade presente no discurso dos líderes servia para demarcar a alteridade religiosa e que não necessariamente era vivenciada pelo conjunto dos fiéis em conformidade com os textos, sobretudo, quando a identidade judaica e a identidade cristã estavam em construção. Mesmo em um momento crítico de perseguição religiosa, a multiplicidade de manifestações religiosas tanto no judaísmo quanto no cristianismo, contribuiu para a circulação de práticas, de crenças e para um contato mais estreito entre judeus e cristãos nesses primeiros séculos. Defenderemos que apesar da concepção de martírio judaico ser diferente da concepção cristã é possível estabelecer relações entre os dois martirológios. As Atas dos Mártires dão alguns indícios de que o conceito de martírio cristão desenvolvido pelo cristianismo gentio estabeleceu essa afirmação de alteridade diante de sua matriz judaica. / The aim of this work is to analyze the Judeo-Christian polemics in martyrdom reports produced during the Roman persecution of Christians until the fourth century. We will cover the main themes that made up this controversy in other Christian and Jewish sources to indicate a possible scenario that could fuel conflicts between both religious groups. We will defend that this rivalry in the discourse of leaders served to demarcate the religious otherness and that it was not necessarily experienced by all the faithful according to the texts, especially when Jewish identity and Christian identity were under construction. Even at a critical time of religious persecution, the multiplicity of religious manifestations in both Judaism and Christianity contributed to the circulation of practices, beliefs and to a closer contact between Jews and Christians in those early centuries. We will argue that despite the difference between the Jewish and the Christian conception of martyrdom, it is possible to establish relations between the two martyrologies. The Acts of the Martyrs give some evidence that the concept of Christian martyrdom developed by Gentile Christianity stated the otherness from its Jewish mother.
