Space perceived and experienced through movement presents an interesting array of imagery which blends together to form a comprehensive whole. My thesis explores this dimension of spatial complexity through the public ritual of pilgrimage. This profound and deeply significant human activity connects the individual places to form an integrated sacred network. The practice of pilgrimage has developed over centuries across the globe and continues to grow and influence a huge cross section of society to come together and move en-masse towards religious centres and personal enlightenment. Public spaces demand a simultaneous co-existence of people, activities and their setting. The phenomenon of pilgrimage is central to the public realm. Its study involves an intricate layering of beliefs, customs, traditions and religion which collectively govern the people-space relationship. The transformation of a space to a place, from static to dynamic, from passive to active occurs during this activity, maintaining the traditional usage while simultaneously evolving as a product of interaction between people, rituals and spaces. In this thesis, I examine the experiential shaping of space which occurs through pilgrims' activities and their impacts on the given urban and architectural conditions. The research is based on my study of the Alandi-Pandharpur Pilgrimage in India. It is an outcome of my participation in the ritual as, both, an architect and a pilgrim. I focus on the existing public spaces and their spontaneous response to the unplanned activity of the Pilgrimage. The spatial experience transcends the criteria of aesthetics and functionality of a public space to a deeper exploration of human characteristics and convictions. From this perspective, the thesis considers the broader role of designed public spaces, the extent of inclusion of community rituals and their significance in the shaping of built environment.

Esta dissertação trata da História do Padre Cícero, que viveu entre 1844 e 1934 no Ceará. Juazeiro foi o lugarejo para onde foi como Padre, permanecendo aí até a sua morte. Apesar de ter construído a Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora das Dores nunca foi seu vigário. Sua presença teria sido a de um pastor dedicado ao rebanho, justamente naquilo que a Igreja lhe pedia, não fosse o Milagre da hóstia ensangüentada na boca da beata Maria de Araújo. Este fato haveria de transtornar a vida de Padre Cícero e em conseqüência disso transformou Juazeiro na Cidade Santa, que atrai multidões de Romeiros vindos de toda parte. Padre Cícero viu-se então envolvido em muitos conflitos. Sempre alvo de muitas incompreensões, foi tido como anátema pela Igreja. Na prática, foi excomungado, apesar de não ter tomado conhecimento do documento de excomunhão chegado para ele. Defendido e condenado ao mesmo tempo por muitos, foram, no entanto, os romeiros que sustentaram essa história de Padre Cícero e do Juazeiro com muita fidelidade e resistência pacífica. O desejo de reabilitação histórica, pastoral e eclesial cresceu dentro da própria Igreja Católica. De forma oficial, a pedido do Vaticano e coordenado pelo seu Bispo diocesano, Dom Fernando Panico, abre-se o processo de reabilitação histórica de Padre Cícero. Buscar as razões que proporcionaram a mudança do anátema ao acolhimento pastoral foi o grande objetivo de nossa pesquisa / This dissertation treats of Father Cícero's History, who lived between 1844 and 1934, in Ceará. Juazeiro was the village where he was a Priest, staying there until his your death. He built the church of Our Lady of the Pains, without, however, being the pastor. His presence would have been the one of a shepherd dedicated to the flock, exactly what the Church asked him, don't root the "Miracle" of the Host bloody in the bigot's mouth of the pious Maria de Araújo. This fact would transform Father Ciceros life and subsequently make Juazeiro, into the Holly City, that attracts crowds of Pilgrims, who came from everywhere. Father Cícero saw himself, then, involved in many conflicts. Always missunderstood he was seen as a curse by the Church. In practice, he was "excommunicated ", however, he was not aware of any formal excommunication. Simultaneously protected and condemned by many, it was the pilgrims however, who sustained the favoravle reputation of Father Cícero and Juazeiro, by fidelity and peaceful resistance. The desire of historical rehabilitation, both pastoral and ecclesiastical grew inside the Catholic Church. In an official way, the Vaticans request, coordinated by the diocesan Bishop, Dom Fernando Panico, started the process of historical rehabilitation of Father Cícero. Looking for the reasons that reasons that motivated the change of the "curse into the pastoral reception, was the major objective of our research

O livro narra a viagem de um Peregrino da Bahia às Minas de Ouro, e o tema da peregrinação justifica o relato da viagem ao longo da qual o Peregrino se vê diante de espaços e personagens fictícios que são objeto de moralização e servem de pretexto para explicar a doutrina cristã. Sua ideia central é o tema do homo viator, isto é, o ser humano está na terra apenas em peregrinação para o céu, sua verdadeira morada. Esta concepção está também ligada a uma consciência de crise, traduzida na visão do mundo como local desordenado e perigoso, no qual, aquele nele viaja, procura encontrar uma saída para o desconcerto reinante na terra. O Peregrino, em grande luta contra as tentações do mundo, segue adiante o seu caminho guiado pela fé e pela graça de Deus, transformando-se num símbolo de persistência e de vitória da vontade sobre as forças do mal. A narrativa é instrumento de demonstração de ideias e meio de exemplificação de doutrinas com uma função persuasiva clara: o autor recorre às auctoritates, a exemplos retirados da experiência cotidiana do século XVIII, além de adequar as alegorias e exemplos ao diálogo, com o objetivo de atrair os infiéis e pecadores que viviam na Colônia para a doutrina católica, fazendo-os renunciar aos maus costumes e levá-los a alcançar à pátria celestial. O livro deve ser lido tendo como pano de fundo as repercussões que o movimento da Contrarreforma e os ecos do Concílio de Trento tiveram em nível da produção artística no mundo católico, e as intenções pedagógico-didáticas subjacentes à sua composição está fundamentado na crença de que a arte poderia constituir um eficaz instrumento de reconversão dos fiéis e de doutrinamento nos valores da fé católica: docere, movere, delectare, visados pela obra de arte deste período, são também os objetivos que o Peregrino da América almeja alcançar / Abstract: "Combating the World and Conquering Paradise: Fiction and Allegory in the Pilgrim of America]" seeks to investigate the fictional and allegorical nature of the Compêndio Narrativo do Peregrino da América, em que tratão vários discursos espirituais, e moraes com muitas advertencias, e documentos contras os abusos, que se achão introduzidos pela malicia diabolica no Estado do Brasil [A Narrative Compendium of the Pilgrim of America, in which are addressed a sundry of spiritual and moral discourses, with a number of admonitions and documents against the abuses which have been introduced by the devilish evil into the State of Brazil], written by Nuno Marques Pereira, and first published in 1728. The book narrates the travel of a Pilgrim from Bahia to the Golden Mines; and the pilgrimage topic underlies the account of the trip during which the Pilgrim is faced with fictional spaces and characters, used for moralizing purposes and which serve as grounds for explaining the Christian doctrine. Its pivotal idea is the theme of homo viator, which means human beings are on Earth basically as pilgrims towards Heaven, their real abode. Such concept is also linked to a consciousness of crisis, which translates into a view of the world as a disorderly and perilous place, in which those who travel through attempt to find a way out of the reigning disarray on Earth. The Pilgrim faces fierce struggles against worldly temptations, and forges ahead on his path guided by Faith and the grace of God; and he turns into a symbol of persistence and victory of will against the powers of Evil. The narrative is an instrument to demonstrate ideas and a means to exemplify doctrines with a clear persuasive function: the author refers to the auctoritates, to examples drawn from the everyday experiences of the 18th century, and also adapts allegories and exempla to the dialogues with the intent of luring infidels and sinners living in the Colony into the Catholic doctrine, steering them away from bad practices and leading them to the heavenly country. When reading this book one must bear in mind the aftermath of the Counter Reformation movement and the echoes from the Council of Trent; and the repercussions they had on the artistic production in the Catholic world; and that the pedagogical-didactic intents underlying its making are grounded on the belief that art could be an effective tool for reconverting the faithful and for indoctrination in the values of the Catholic faith: docere, movere, delectare, aimed by art works of that period, are also the objectives the Pilgrim of America seeks to achieve / Doutorado / Teoria e Critica Literaria / Doutor em Teoria e História Literária

A Imagem Aparecida, em todos os casos, é o seu grande referencial. Etnograficamente ela não pode ser definida apenas pela religião, pela economia ou pela política porque as três categorias lhes são insuficientes. Aparecida é um nome polivalente e essa dissertação tem por objetivo explorar as potências antropológicas de seus espaços, suas imagens e seus sentidos / Abstract: Located in the state of São Paulo ¿ Brazil, the city of Aparecida is famous not only for its catholic Basilic of Our Lady Aparecida, but also for its great commercial importance. In any case, the main reference to the city remains the "Aparecida Image" ¿ a famous clay sculpture found in a river. On an ethnographic point of view, it is insufficient to define it based only on Religion, Economics or Politics. Aparecida has a multivalent name, and therefore this dissertation has the objective to explore all the anthropological potencies of this spaces, images and meanings / Mestrado / Antropologia Social / Mestre em Antropologia Social

Vandrings- och pilgrimsleder är en del av turismnäringen som många människor söker sig till i syfte att nå en spirituell upplevelse eller en närmare kontakt med sig själv och naturen. För att flera människor ska få till sig budskapet att vandra dessa leder, och därmed får ta del av de positiva fördelar som upplevs, krävs det att leden är tillgänglighetsanpassad på flera sätt. Hur kan visuell kommunikation skapas för att öka tillgängligheten på S:t Olavsleden samt hur kan det spirituella uttryckas i syfte att attrahera en större målgrupp, är ett problemområde från en uppdragsbeskrivning av byrån Trampolin Pr. Syftet med projektet är att med utgångspunkt från Luptons (2011) designprocess skapa ny visuell kommunikation med fokus på ökad tillgänglighet samt skapa uttryck för spirituella upplevelser för S:t Olavsleden. Genom ett urval av flera vandrings- och pilgrimsleder, analyseras hur dessa semiotisk framställer tillgänglighet och spiritualitet och den kunskapen förvaltas vidare i designprocessen när den grafiska profilen ska skapas för S:t Olavsleden. Resultatet var att det empiriska materialet semiotiskt framställde tillgänglighet genom ordval, visuell framskjutenhet och olika designprinciper. Det empiriska materialet visade även på en brist på tillgänglighet i flera delar i kommunikationen av alla leder. Spiritualitet uttrycks främst genom bildval och vissa ordval.  Nyckelord: Grafisk design, pilgrimsvandring, visuell kommunikation, tillgänglighet, spiritualitet / Pilgrims and hiking trails are a part of the tourism sector and more and more people have found the positive effects of hiking. People do it for the purpose of seeking a spiritual experience, as well as being in nature to experience the motion, the emotion and the soulsearching that hiking gives. For people to experience the trails, the spiritual expressions and the positive effects, it is important that the communication is accessible in every part. How can visual communication be created to make the S:t Olavs Trail more accessible, and how can spirituality become an expression in the design? This problem area is something a client wanted help to answer and find a solution for. The purpose with this project is to use Luptons (2011) design process to create new design and communication with the theme of accessibility and spirituality. Through a sample of hiking and pilgrims trails, will this be analyzed with a semiotic visual analysis, and with the new knowledge result in new graphic design and communications for St. Olavs trail. The result of the semiotic visual analysis was that accessibility was presented through chosen words, visual prominence and different design aspects. The empirical material also showed a lack of accessibility in several parts of the communication. Spirituality was presented mostly through photos and words and not so much through design aspects.  Keywords: Graphic design, pilgrims hiking, visual communication, accessibility, spirituality

This dissertation comparatively explores and critically evaluates the historical and traditional notions that are commonly held by Christian pilgrims visiting the Holy Land; and it does so by examining the archaeological, historical, and literary evidence, with specific reference to the existent material remnants that are closely associated with the burial of Christ Jesus. The research will highlight the impact that biblical archaeological findings and the results thereof have had on these identified pilgrimage sites. Both the strengths and the weaknesses of the evidence will be enumerated; and the implications for the practice and significance of pilgrimages will be set out. / Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies / M.A. (Biblical Archaeology)
