<p>This study examines the experience of visitors to the shrine of Sainte Anne de Beaupré in Québec, Canada. Drawing on ethnographic data, narratives and historical research, this project describes the ways in which Saint Anne is meaningful to people. I focus on the themes of pilgrimage and tourism, devotional expressions, visionary experiences and religious healing.</p> <p>While the earliest visitors to the shrine were primarily motivated by stories of the miraculous, contemporary visitors have many different motivations, blurring the scholarly boundaries constructed between pilgrimage and tourism.</p> <p>Devotional expressions at Sainte Anne de Beaupré, understood as “media of engagement” or “relationships of presence,” encompass a wide range of practices, meanings and functions. Power is invested and diffused through Saint Anne by forming “cogent connections” to her through the media of devotional expressions.</p> <p>This study also considers visionary experiences that are associated with Saint Anne, especially visions that are related to pilgrimage and religious healing at Sainte Anne de Beaupré. Rather than focusing on the “epiphany” of the visionary experience itself, I suggest that agency is key to understanding visions, particularly as they relate to issues of empowerment.</p> <p>Finally, I situate pilgrimage, devotional expressions and visionary encounters in the context of religious healing. The term healing encompasses a broad range of meanings, and I demonstrate that journeys to Sainte Anne de Beaupré involve a quest for therapy, self-transformation, identity and/or personal empowerment.</p> / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Votive traditions have existed in virtually every society and culture during the last five thousand years. This traditions' 'longevity and universal appeal has led to diverse vow systems, numerous pilgrimages, and captivating ex-votos. The tradition is still vibrant today, particularly in the Northeastern areas of Brazil where thousands of pilgrims are avid believers. This thesis focuses on several aspects of Brazilian ex-votos, including cultural and economic contexts, visual aesthetics, folk religion and medicine, and how the tradition has evolved in the last three hundred years. An important aspect of this research includes deciphering why these objects are still being created in the twenty-first century and how they related to Brazil's current health care system, which is presently unable to support all of its citizens. The roots of this tradition in Brazil are deeply grounded in economics. However, ex-voto practices also have European, African, and indigenous influences that run deep beneath the Brazilian core. Folk customs, medicinal practices, and subconscious ways in which ex-votos heal participants are discussed in this thesis. A significant effort is also made to compare votive traditions among different cultures in order to understand these religious medical miracles from a global approach.

This final work consists of theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part concerns the phenomenon of pilgrimage and travelling in present days and also mentions main exploration journeys realized during our history. It introduces some art pieces that deal with the motive of journey. These are separated into three specific groups- sketches in traveller diaries that were made during journeys by travellers and pilgrims, historical maps and current art inspired by variety of journey´s symbolism. Last pages of the theoretical part mention the journey as a motive of Art Education at Primary school. The practical part contains the implementation of the series called The Journey that was divided into seven subsequent blocks. These lessons were realized with the pupils of the 5th grade of the Grünwaldova primary school in České Budějovice. Results of their work are documented at the end of this final work.

The thesis is proven by the educational practices which are transmitted by the older to the younger generations; these are responsible for the tradition of the pilgrimage of the Carriers (Carreiros) of Mossâmedes. The educational practices are not merely realized in the sphere of religion, but also through the other activities exercised on a daily basis by the group, such as: agricultural work in the fields, taking care of animals, domestic chores, principally the preparation of food, the help that members of the community give to each other to realize a specific enterprise, etc. However, these practices sustain the religious aspect which is preponderant in the tradition of the pilgrimage of the Carriers (Carreiros) of Mossâmedes. They are educational and religious practices exercised day after day as a life experience, transmitted in the social cultural relations, filtered and established as custom which, in their temporal duration are transformed into a educational, religious and cultural tradition. The fundamental set of problems that this thesis will attempt to resolve is: what educational processes are used to perpetuate the pilgrimage of the Carriers (Carreiros) of Mossâmedes, how are the devotion, the tradition and the rituals of the pilgrimage to the shrine of the Divine Eternal Father are transmitted to succeeding generations, who are the subjects and the institutions that contribute to maintain the devotion and who benefits from it. The object of this research paper is to explain how the educational practices are important for the perpetuation of the pilgrimage of the Carriers (Carreiros) of Mossâmedes, how they came into being historically, how they contribute for the preservation of the pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of the Divine Eternal Father in Trindade and why people would travel long distances to obtain a symbolic content of the sacred. In order to understand the educational practices that delineate the group of the Carriers (Carreiros) of Mossâmedes the methodology of oral history has been used by way of interviews, observation and ethnographic photography. This ethnographic study resulted in the understanding of the constitution of this group which, by means of culture, education, memory and tradition of the pilgrimage has maintained for more than half a century the religious tradition of the devotion to the Divine Eternal Father in the city of Trindade, Goiás. A distinct presence of the sacred can be found in the symbols, the daily cultural and religious practices of the differentiated universe of the Carriers of Mossâmedes. It is this tradition that maintains harmony in the cart drivers lives. Their security is in their faith in the sacred. Through their faith the daily practices of these men and women are transformed into means of arriving at an objective: the search for the religious and social integration of the group. / Esta tese teve como propósito a investigação das práticas educativas dos Carreiros no município de Mossâmedes, Goiás, para perpetuar a tradição da romaria em devoção ao Divino Pai Eterno na cidade de Trindade, Goiás. Assim a tese é evidenciada nas práticas educativas, transmitidas pelas gerações mais velhas às gerações mais novas; são responsáveis pela tradição da romaria dos Carreiros de Mossâmedes. Práticas educativas que não se realizam apenas pela religiosidade, mas também pelas demais atividades que constituem o cotidiano deste grupo, como por exemplo: o trabalho na lavoura, cuidado com os animais, os serviços domésticos, especialmente o preparo dos alimentos, o mutirão para a ajuda na realização de determinada tarefa etc... Entretanto, estas práticas sustentam o aspecto religioso que prepondera na tradição da romaria dos Carreiros de Mossâmedes. Essas são práticas educativas e religiosas, exercitadas no dia a dia, como experiência de vida, transmitida na inter-relação sociocultural, filtradas e estabelecidas como costume que, na sua duração temporal, se transformaram em uma tradição educativa, religiosa e cultural. A problemática fundamental desta pesquisa: que práticas educativas são utilizadas para perpetuação da romaria dos Carreiros de Mossâmedes? Como eles transmitem para seus sucessores, a nova geração, a devoção, a tradição da peregrinação e o ritual da romaria ao Divino Pai Eterno? Quem são os sujeitos e instituições que contribuem para a manutenção da devoção e quem dela se beneficia? Objetivou-se nesta pesquisa explicitar e perceber como as práticas educativas são importantes para a perpetuação da romaria, como elas se constituem historicamente e em que elas contribuem para a preservação da romaria ao Divino Pai Eterno e porque numa romaria as pessoas percorrem longas distâncias em busca de um conteúdo simbólico do sagrado. Para apreender essas práticas educativas que delineiam o grupo dos Carreiros de Mossâmedes utilizou-se a metodologia da história oral, por meio da entrevista, da observação e da etnofotografia. Este estudo etnográfico resultou na compreensão da constituição deste grupo que, por meio da cultura, da educação, da memória, da tradição e da romaria vem mantendo por mais de meio século a tradição religiosa da devoção ao Divino Pai Eterno, na cidade de Trindade, Goiás. Nesse universo diferenciado dos Carreiros de Mossâmedes, nos símbolos, nas práticas cotidianas, culturais e religiosas encontram-se a presença marcante do sagrado. É esta tradição que mantém toda a harmonia da vida Carreira. A segurança para tudo isso é a fé no santo. É por meio da fé, que as práticas diárias desses homens e mulheres se transformam em meios de alcançar o seu objetivo: a busca da integração religiosa e social.

The objective of this research work was to analyze the capacity of the pilgrimage of ox-carts for Trindade Party suit the socio-cultural changes resulting from the urbanization process. We worked mainly with the concepts of rurality, popular Catholicism/pilgrimage and urbanization. It was carried out a field research which included interviews with twenty pilgrims and the participating observation carried out during the pilgrimage of ox-cart to the Trindade Party on the way Inhumas Trindade, from June 23 to July 6, 2010. Being a typical practice of rurality, but practiced in urban space, the pilgrimage of the ox-carts become a dialogue and intersection space of urban with countryside. It is in the urban context marked by individualism and by a constant barrage of scientific-technological and social changes that a group of ox-carts pilgrims, residents of the city of Inhumas, seeks to take its rural ethos, living in the practice of the pilgrimage of ox-carts for the Trindade Party ideals intrinsic to rural life, they are: community and family. / Esta dissertação é fruto de um projeto de pesquisa sobre a romaria de carro de bois para a festa do Divino Pai Eterno em Trindade Goiás, pensada e realizada no espaço urbano, na cidade de Inhumas, enquanto palco de partida e chegada da romaria. O objetivo desse trabalho de pesquisa foi analisar a capacidade da romaria de carro de bois para a festa de Trindade de se adequar as mudanças sócio-culturais advindas do processo de urbanização. Trabalhamos principalmente com os conceitos de ruralidade, catolicismo popular/romaria e urbanização. Foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo que incluiu entrevistas a vinte romeiros e observação participante realizada durante a romaria de carro de bois para a festa de Trindade no percurso Inhumas Trindade, do dia 23 de junho a 06 de julho de 2010. Por ser uma prática típica da ruralidade, mas praticada no espaço urbano, a romaria de carro de bois se torna um espaço de diálogo, de intersecção do urbano com o rural. É no contexto urbano marcado pelo individualismo e por uma constante avalanche de mudanças científico-tecnológicas e sociais que um grupo de romeiros de carro de bois, moradores da cidade de Inhumas, busca assumir seu ethos rural, vivenciando na prática da romaria de carro de bois para a festa de Trindade ideários intrínsecos a ruralidade que são: comunidade e família.

It is impregnated of strong elements for the official Catholicism. Among the great many ways of manifestation of the popular catholicism we recognize the pilgrimage. By studying the pilgrimage to the Senhor do Bonfim city is to comprehense a bit how manifest the popular Catholicism itself. By this pilgrimage we also want to study the relations of power existent among the agents that offer and handle the religiosity putting a question among the public and the private on the religion. A detail that makes the study of this pilgrimage different is the fact the saint at issue has a particular owner increasing the conflicts with the church. By the comprehension of this religions phenomenon we will use further as reading keys, the process of secularization of the society and the holy, the relation between religion and sacrifice plenty in question on the pilgrimages, a knowledge through the analytic categories of Weber and Durkheim and the knowledge of the pilgrimage as element of the memory and the imaginary. / O catolicismo popular é considerado uma forma não-oficial de religiosidade. Está impregnado de elementos estranhos ao catolicismo oficial. Entre as muitas formas de manifestações do catolicismo popular encontramos a romaria. Estudar a romaria ao Senhor do Bonfim é entender um pouco como se manifesta o catolicismo popular. Nessa romaria, estudaremos, também, as relações de poder existentes entre os agentes que ofertam e manuseiam a religiosidade, levantando a questão entre o público e o privado na religião. Um detalhe que torna o estudo dessa romaria diferente é o fato de o santo em questão ter um dono particular, seu Natalino, morador local, aumentando os conflitos com a Igreja. Na compreensão desse fenômeno religioso usaremos como chaves de leitura o processo de secularização da sociedade e do sagrado, a relação entre religião e sacrifício muito presente nas romarias, uma leitura das categorias analíticas de Weber e Durkheim e a leitura da romaria como elemento da memória e do imaginário.

For this, beside literature research, we also made an empiric research. We developed a questionnaire based on interviews and testimonies collected by us. Subsequently, the questionnaires were tabulated and analyzed. We concluded that the Way of St. James is not only a Catholic route, not just a religious route. It includes numerous speeches and values, religious and secular. This allows the pilgrim to contact himself, enabling considerations and questions about himself, his life and the reality which the pilgrim belongs to. So it makes possible the construction of a new meaning for his own life / A presente dissertação de mestrado teve por objetivo pesquisar a busca por sentido para a própria existência em pessoas que tenham feito uma peregrinação no Caminho de Santiago de Compostela. Para isso, além da pesquisa bibliográfica, recorremos à pesquisa empírica. Desenvolvemos um questionário com base nas entrevistas e depoimentos recolhidos por nós, e o aplicamos a 20 peregrinos. Posteriormente os questionários foram tabulados e analisados. Concluímos que o Caminho de Santiago já não é uma rota apenas católica, nem uma rota apenas religiosa; engloba inúmeros discursos e valores religiosos e laicos. Isso permite que o peregrino entre em contato consigo mesmo, possibilitando reflexões e questionamentos acerca de si mesmo, de sua vida e da realidade da qual faz parte, o que permite que construa um novo sentido para sua vida
