This thesis examines ecotheology in liturgy. In light of an increasing awareness of the seriousness of the climate crisis and the consequences for all living beings on earth, it investigated whether and how communion prayers in handbooks of Church of Sweden from 1986 and 2017 have changed towards becoming more ecotheological. The focus of this study has been how God is described in the use of God's names and metaphors, God's relationship to the world, and God's mission to people. These were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis. Two metaphorical models, a monarchical model and a God-body model, taken from ecofeminist theologian Sallie McFague were used as the study's ecotheological approach. Through the analysis, it has been shown that the communion prayers have become more ecotheological. The prayers have more often features the metaphor of "creator" for God and descriptions of an actively creating, loving, and present God. God's relationship with the world now also includes the entire universe that God carries and fulfills. God meets people more often through the risen Christ and God's incarnation and salvation can also be interpreted as concerning of all creation. God's mission to human beings is more directed outward to the world, but there are still no explicit missions towards other living beings or all of creation.

This thesis addresses the question of how the Cambodia Tourist Police prohibition of local custodians has impacted Khmer prayer rituals inside Ta Prohm Complex (Angkor Archaeological Park, Cambodia). For centuries, people of Khmer ethnicity have engaged in religious activities inside Ta Prohm. Local Khmers have functioned as custodians of spaces of religious activity there. Custodians decorate and clothe statues, and place incense, offering plates, and other religious paraphernalia in spaces of religious activity. Observations demonstrate that Khmer prayer rituals occur in spaces that contain religious paraphernalia. The prohibition reduced the number of spaces that contain religious paraphernalia in Ta Prohm. This thesis is the first research to closely examine contemporary religious activities at Angkor. The thesis discusses how the prohibition may impact future Khmer religious activities inside Ta Prohm, and presents a potential solution for the reduced functionality of Ta Prohm as a Khmer temple that resulted from the prohibition. / Department of Anthropology

The corpus, consisting of 75 prayers of healing, is subdivided according to the popular name of the disease it proposes to cure. Among them stands out the eye, meat screened, midwife, shingles, choking and headache. The research approach is qualitative, as part of empirical knowledge for a theoretical analysis, requiring understanding and interpretation of phenomena - prayers - to society. The study of popular prayer is included in the study of discursive traditions, part of the recent historical and diachronic studies, notably the German Philology Pragmatics, which has as a guiding the study of language from social and historical context. The proposal of Discursive Traditions supports and justifies the linguistic variations - changes or stays - under which the traditions suffer over time. In that sense, this paper aims to present, from the basement defended by Coseriu (1979), Koch (2006), Kabatek (2006), Oesterreicher (2006) and Fonseca (2003), the characterization of oral sex "prayers Popular cure "Itabaianense the region as well as the linguistic variations of this tradition, taking as reference the Portuguese prayers. On the textual structure of prayers, is divided into invocation and offering fixed formula. From the linguistic point of view, the prayers are intended as oral genre popular with religious overtones, mainly by using the voice to achieve their communicative purposes, presenting a discursive formation consistent with the social order to which you propose - healing through spells. By comparing the prayers of Itabaiana region-PB with the Portuguese one realizes that the prayers keep its conservative nature, with little change in the structure of text, although there are variations and adaptations of language structures to snapshots of the communicative event in which the mourners are pre-arranged. Therefore, the study of popular shows and prayers conceives language as a historical reality closely linked to cultural and social life of speakers. / O trabalho exposto tem como objeto de estudo a tradição oral as rezas populares coletadas na região Itabaianense, interior da Paraíba. O corpus, composto de 75 rezas de cura, está subdividido de acordo com o nome popular da doença que se propõe curar. Dentre elas destaca-se o olhado, carne triada, espinhela caída, cobreiro, engasgo e dor de cabeça. A pesquisa teve uma abordagem qualitativa, pois parte do conhecimento empírico para uma análise teórica, exigindo apreensão e interpretação dos fenômenos rezas com a sociedade. O estudo sobre as rezas populares está inserida no estudo das Tradições Discursivas, vertente recente dos estudos histórico-diacrônicos, notadamente da Filologia Pragmática Alemã, que tem como eixo norteador o estudo da Língua a partir do contexto social e histórico. A proposta das Tradições Discursivas fundamenta e justifica as variações lingüísticas mudanças ou permanências pelas quais as tradições sofrem ao longo do tempo. Nesse sentido, este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar, a partir do embasamento defendido por Coseriu (1979), Koch (2006), Kabatek (2006), Oesterreicher (2006) e Fonseca (2003), a caracterização do gênero oral rezas populares de cura da região Itabaianense bem como as variações lingüísticas dessa tradição, tendo como ponto de referência as rezas portuguesas. Sobre a estrutura textual das rezas, divide-se em invocação, fórmula fixa e oferecimento. Do ponto de vista lingüístico, as rezas são concebidas como gêneros textuais orais de cunho religioso-popular por utilizar-se principalmente da voz para atingir seus propósitos comunicativos, apresentando uma formação discursiva coerente com o fim social ao qual se propõe curar por meio de palavras mágicas. Ao comparar as rezas da região de Itabaiana-PB com as portuguesas percebe-se que as rezas mantêm seu caráter conservador, havendo poucas mudanças na estrutura textual, embora haja variações e adequações das estruturas linguísticas às situações momentâneas do evento comunicativo em que as rezadeiras ficam pré-dispostas. Portanto, o estudo das rezas populares comprova e concebe a linguagem como uma realidade histórica vinculada intimamente à vida cultural e social dos falantes.

O presente trabalho estuda as figurações da homossexualidade e da homoafetividade no livro King & King, de Linda de Haan e Stern Nijland, e no filme Orações para Bobby, de Russel Mulcahy. Dialogamos com as duas e apontamos para as suas diferenças e complementaridades. Nossa análise está centrada nas relações de poder e afetividade presentes em seus processos discursivos. Nossa pesquisa fundamenta-se, primordialmente, em dois fecundos teóricos da modernidade, Michel Foucault e Judith Butler, e visa a compreender o exercício disciplinador na construção e manutenção das ordens regulatórias da homossexualidade e da homoafetividade. / The present work studies the figurations of homosexuality and homoaffection in the book King & King, by Linda de Haan and Stern Nijland, and in the film Prayers for Bobby, by Russel Mulcahy. We dialogue with both and point to their differences and complementarities. Our analysis is centered on the relations of power and affectivity presented in their discursive processes. Our research is based primarily on two fecund scholars of modernity, Michel Foucault and Judith Butler, and aims to understand the disciplinary exercise in the construction and maintenance of the regulatory orders of homosexuality and homoaffection.

The methodology adopted was characterized by the qualitative approach of ethnographic base through the interaction with revelers and praying women during the annual feasting events of 2013, and 2014, in the rural area of the reported township, shifting focus to the rites that take place through prayers and life stories. The premise of the defence of this thesis is that the language of “Folia da Roça” preserves elements of the ibero-christian tradition, adapted to the local reality before the new conditions that take place amidst processes of urbanization and globalization. These influences were investigated by using the theoretic understructure of Ecolinguistics, a discipline that takes into consideration the study of language from the entanglement between the knowledge of Linguistics and Ecology, searching to describe interaction processes in which these categories manifest. Other guiding aspects of this research were: verify if the natural and social environments have any influence in the language of prayers; observe how ecclesiastic Latin is seized by those who speak rural Portuguese; investigate if values conveyed in the discourses of these protagonists are consistent with local wisdom or if they reflect patterns imported from the Iberian Peninsula during colonization; besides discussing and analyzing the memory of elders and their closer relatives in the prayers. By describing and analyzing the language of the feast, evidence is given of the adaptation and the resignification of official Catholic religious practice to the natural and social environments in which these protagonists are inserted. The religious ethic present there emerged as a result of the necessity of surviving in a historically hostile region, perpetuated by the interactions of its characters, transforming into an important and considerable manifestation of popular religiosity. / Esta tese se propôs a descrever e analisar a linguagem da manifestação popular da Folia da Roça, realizada na região de Formosa-GO. A metodologia adotada pautou-se pela abordagem qualitativa de base etnográfica por meio da interação com os foliões e com as rezadeiras da folia nos giros de 2013 e 2014, na zona rural do referido município, com o foco voltado para os rituais que se desdobram nas rezas e histórias de vida. A tese defendida é a de que a linguagem da Folia da Roça conserva elementos antigos da tradição ibero-cristã, adaptados à realidade local frente às novas condições, que ocorrem pelos processos de urbanização e globalização. Essas influências foram investigadas usando o arcabouço teórico da Ecolinguística, disciplina que propõe o estudo da língua a partir do entrelaçamento entre os saberes da Linguística e da Ecologia, buscando descrever os processos interacionais nos quais essas categorias se manifestam. Foram também aspectos norteadores desta pesquisa: verificar se os meios ambientes natural e social local têm alguma influência na linguagem das rezas; observar de que forma o latim eclesiástico é apropriado por pessoas que falam o português rural; investigar se os valores expressos no discurso desses protagonistas são consistentes com a sabedoria local ou se refletem padrões importados da Península Ibérica durante a colonização, além de discutir e analisar a memória dos anciãos e das anciãs e de seus parentes mais próximos nas rezas. Ao descrever e analisar a linguagem da folia, evidenciam-se a adaptação e a ressignificação do Catolicismo oficial aos ambientes natural e social nos quais esses protagonistas estão inseridos. A ética religiosa ali presente eclodiu em uma conduta, resultado da necessidade de sobrevivência em uma região historicamente hostil, que se perpetuou nas interações de seus atores, transformando-se em importante e considerável manifestação da religiosidade popular.
