A problemática aborda o esforço feito pelos peregrinos, ao fazerem tal percurso, enfrentando as adversidades da caminhada de nove quilômetros. O principal objetivo foi realizar um estudo antropológico desse ritual religioso, sob a perspectiva das relações entre o peregrino e a divindade, que se consolida a partir do pagamento de promessas em agradecimento às graças obtidas, que, na maioria das vezes, estão relacionadas às curas milagrosas.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / LembranÃas de AlguÃm: a construÃÃo das memÃrias sobre santidade de JoÃo das pedras à uma pesquisa que tem como objetivo estudar as formas, os gestos, as narrativas, enfim, as prÃticas populares que se relacionam com a vida, morte e devoÃÃo a JoÃo das Pedras um ladrÃo que morreu aproximadamente em 04 de abril de 1978 na cidade de SÃo Benedito, CearÃ. NÃo se trata de uma biografia. Procuro cruzar a vida e a morte de JoÃo nÃo seguindo uma ordem cronologica dos acontecimentos: da vida para morte ou da morte para vida. Busco, nas prÃticas de devoÃÃo aquilo que dà sentido ao passado de JoÃo. Investigo, no presente,o que alude ao passado, (re) significando-o. Para compreender o culto a JoÃo das Pedras foi necessÃrio ter uma aproximaÃÃo com a relaÃÃo dos entrevistados com a morte, os mortos, os sonhos, as promessas e devoÃÃes, com o cemitÃrio, com o mundo visÃvel e invisÃvel. Um estudo possibilitado pelas entrevistas, pelos ex-votos, pelas marcaÃÃes de intenÃÃes de missas colhidos / Memories of One: the construction of memories about the holiness of John the stones is a survey that aims to study the forms, gestures, narratives, short, popular practices that relate to the life, death and devotion to John the Stones a thief who nearly died on April 04, 1978 in SÃo Benedito, CearÃ. This is not a biography. Looking across the life and death of John does not follow a chronological order of events: from life to death and from death to life. Busco, the practices of devotion that which gives meaning to the past of John I investigate in the present, which alludes to the past, (re) meaning it. To understand the cult of John the Stones had to have a close relationship with the respondents to death, dead, dreams, promises and devotions with the cemetery, with the visible and invisible world. A study made possible by the interviews, the ex-votos, the markings of intent masses collected

abstract: The current landscape of political speech is ripe for deep philosophical analysis yet has not been thoroughly investigated through the lens of speech-act theory. In this space, I believe I contribute something novel to the area, namely a notion of campaign promises that differs from standard promises that enables a new way of interpreting this kind of speech. Over the course of this paper, it is argued that Campaign Promises (CP) are non-trivially and philosophically distinct from the notion of Standard Promises (SP). There are many philosophical distinctions to draw, including moral, political and logical, but my focus is largely in philosophy of language. I engage the work of Searle, Austin and Wittgenstein among others to investigate what I take to be the following important differences from CP and SP: First, that CP and SP differ in the “best interest” condition, of the condition that a promise must be in the best interest of the promisee in order for that promise to obtain, which in turn, produces the effect of threatening those who do not want the promise to come about. Secondly, that CP serve to reinforce world views in a way that is non-trivially different from SP. To do this, I employ Wittgensteinian language game theory to bridge the gap between traditional Searlian speech act theory to more modern McGowan-style oppressive language models. Through this process I develop and defend this alternative way of understanding and evaluating CP and political speech. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Philosophy 2019

Foreign policy is the nexus between domestic and international political systems. Studies in Canada have so far produced mixed findings related to the role of political parties in foreign policy. Drawing from campaign promise, issue ownership and foreign policy decision-making literature, this dissertation investigates whether there is a foreign policy domain consistently dominated by a particular political party in the Canadian context. Part I uses data from the Comparative Manifesto Project (CMP) combined with manually coded foreign policy promises to determine the content and scope of foreign policy-related election promises in Canada. Part II follows the well-established pledge approach to measure promise fulfilment of foreign policy promises of Canadian governing parties following elections. This dissertation not only seeks to determine whether parties matter in the context of foreign policy, but also whether one party consistently “owns” the foreign policy domain or specific foreign policy issues. Findings from this research will fill an existing gap in the literature related to policy-specific promise fulfillment in Canada and will bridge existing theoretical assumptions related to political party behaviour and foreign policy decision-making. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)

Literary and theological analysis of this sense of perícope demonstrates very patriarchal reports. The goal of this dissertation is to do this analysis, especially demonstrating his "literary movement" or, as it is appropriate to say, his "literary beauty". This research takes the theological and ethi-cal considerations that relates with the other patriarchal traditions of Genesis. It is the study of Genesis 18.1 15 for his literary position in all the patriarchal ac-counts and especially with regard to Abraham. It is in half his life narrated in the text. Until that time, exposed in the text, he just waited for the fulfillment of promises, but nothing actu-ally happened. The end of life approaches with the accumulation of years. When least expec-ted the old promises, behold, the Lord, your God, appears and all is happening. The text is a moment of great expressiveness and narrative raises ethical perspective, using a sign lan-guage. The fundamental hypothesis is the centrality of literary text and its gestural expressi-veness that value the character Abraham, the other cited characters and their actions. The fundamental methodological theoretical aspect was used to read the text careful-ly, synchronous to its movement, always from the grammatical forms and guessing what the fundamental hypothesis suggested its expressiveness. She was always outstanding. The literary analysis of this short text leads to all the patriarchal narratives, especially Abraham cycle as part of the written traditions of Israel identity founders. The gestures of the same characters, often not valued in a theological analysis, are the expression of the beauty of this text. The three mysterious figures visiting the elderly Patriarch leave the divine mark of fulfilment of promises and assurance of joy that the birth of Isaac symbolizes / O texto de Gênesis 18,1 15 é importante dentro do ciclo de Abraão. A análise literária e teológica desta perícope demonstra muito do sentido dos relatos patriarcais. O objetivo desta dissertação é fazer esta análise, especialmente demonstrando seu movimento literá-rio ou, como é oportuno dizer, sua beleza literária . Esta investigação leva a considerações teológicas e éticas que se relacionarão com as demais tradições patriarcais de Gênesis. Justifica-se este estudo de Gênesis 18,1 15 pela sua posição literária no conjunto dos relatos patriarcais e de modo especial no que diz respeito a Abraão. Ele está na metade de sua vida narrada no texto. Até aquele momento, exposto no texto, ele apenas esperou o cumprimento das promessas, mas nada efetivamente aconteceu. O fim da vida se aproxima com o acúmulo dos anos. Quando menos se esperava das antigas promessas, eis que o Senhor, seu Deus, aparece e tudo passa a acontecer. O texto é um momento narrativo de muita expressividade e gera perspectivas éticas, usando de uma linguagem gestual. A hipótese fundamental é a centralidade literária do texto e sua expressividade gestual que valorizam o personagem Abraão, os outros personagens citados e suas ações. O aspecto teórico metodológico fundamental usado foi a leitura sincrônica do texto, com atenção ao seu movimento, sempre a partir das formas gramaticais e supondo o que a hipótese fundamental sugeria: sua expressividade. Ela foi destacada sempre. A análise literária deste pequeno texto conduz ao conjunto das narrativas patriarcais, especialmente ao ciclo de Abraão como parte das tradições escritas fundadoras da identi-dade de Israel. Os gestos dos mesmos personagens, muitas vezes não valorizados em uma análise teológica, são a expressão da beleza deste texto. As três figuras misteriosas que vi-sitam o idoso patriarca deixam a marca divina do cumprimento das promessas e da certeza da alegria que o nascimento de Isaac simboliza
