Over the last two decades, Australian higher education has undergone dramatic changes in purpose and orientation. Changes in public funding arrangements and concomitant policy statements have contributed to the reconceptualisation of Australian higher education, and internationalisation has become a core goal for Australian universities. In light of these dynamics, this study examined understandings of internationalisation within two Australian universities. The study examined the ways in which internationalisation was understood by university staff working in either a teaching capacity and/or a managerial position. Situated within the broad field of critical sociology, the study drew on critical realism (Bhaskar, 1979, 1989), critical epistemology (Carspecken, 1996) and reflexive sociology (Bourdieu, 1972, 1990) to analyse how the universities and their staff positioned themselves in relation to the goal of internationalisation. Furthermore, the study examined how this goal served to reposition the institution and/or various forms of university work. The insights of critical social theory were used to examine the contested power relations associated with the growing importance attributed to the goal of internationalisation in Australian higher education. The significance of the study resides in its recognition of the ways in which academic and non-academic subcultures within the university contribute to the goal of internationalisation. Whereas previous research viewed divergence of understandings as weakening the commitment given to internationalisation as an institutional goal, this study has shown that such diversity stems from the differential encounters with and experiences of internationalisation. Moreover, in previous research, the pre-determined objectives for internationalisation resulted in the compartmentalisation of this goal, as in economic objectives and academic objectives. In contrast, this study focused on the dynamic and evolving nature of internationalisation in higher education. Consequently, the study's contribution lies in its explanation of the long term benefits to be derived from viewing internationalisation as a dynamic and generative phenomenon, rather than simply as a pre-determined goal. A case study approach was used in this research with two contrasting onshore Australian universities selected as the case sites. One institution had a reputation as an elite, research intensive university. The other was a post-Dawkins university with a strong vocational orientation. At each site, semi-structured interviews were conducted with staff from across the university's hierarchy. Interviewees included the Pro Vice-Chancellor for the Office of Internationalisation, the Chair of the Academic Board, the Director of the Teaching and Learning Support Unit, Faculty Deans, Heads of Departments, as well as departmental staff concerned with first year teaching. Departmental staff were drawn from two disciplinary areas, Australian History and Marketing. Interviews engaged participants in discussion about the processes by which internationalisation was enacted. Furthermore, university documents, such as the Strategic Plan, were analysed in terms of how the given institution constructed the need for internationalisation and the means by which this goal was to be achieved. The study found that internationalisation involves and promotes constant adaptability. The two institutions used whatever resources they had to develop and promote their international aspirations. The international visions of the institutions were influenced by both their historical and intended relationship with the broader higher education world. The elite, research intensive institution viewed internationalisation with becoming a university of international standing. This institution used its bureaucratic and hierarchical nature to advance its objectives for internationalisation. The vocationally oriented university had developed an internationalisation policy with a view to maximising the revenue to be derived from its diverse international activities and to gaining greater prestige within the higher education field. Staff involved with managerial and/or teaching work were found to develop their ideas about internationalisation through a combination of personal and professional experiences. The study confirmed the growing trend for academics to assume managerial roles in addition to their teaching and research. Consequently, accounts of internationalisation were not necessarily confined to a purely managerial or an academic perspective. Furthermore, the accounts of internationalisation differed between and within the two selected disciplines. On the one hand, specific disciplinary attributes could be seen by the academics interviewed as inherently international, even though they may not assist in realising institutional objectives for internationalisation. On the other, academics spoke of the perceived need for the frames of reference used in undergraduate education to be broadened, given the globalised nature of contemporary society and/or the increasing international enrolments. The study concluded that internationalisation is an important means by which the localised priorities of an institution, an academic department, and/or of individuals can engage with forms of global mobility. Moreover, the study argued the need for all staff and students in Australian higher education to see themselves as part of the processes of internationalisation. This latter point raises questions about the personal and professional attributes required of academics when working within internationalised Australian universities.

This thesis consists of a novel, eighteenth, and an exegesis, The ‘Lad Lit’ Dilemma: Institutional influences on creative writing practice. It will address my research question; how did institutional factors surrounding the publishing category of Lad Lit influence my creative practice in drafting and re-drafting the novel eighteenth? eighteenth is the story of Will Swift, a seventeen year-old Brisbane university student. Will is part of a close group of friends from high school. When he falls for Kate, family friend of his mate Simon, his first semester of study becomes more complicated than he might have expected. Will’s movement through these issues and character development is represented symbolically through four eighteenth birthday parties. The project’s exegesis then analyses the changing nature of the publishing industry in the last twenty years, and the implications of these changes for creative writers. Together, the two elements of this practice-led research will articulate the shift in the balance between the cultural and commercial imperatives of publishers, explain the impact of this shift for the publishing category of Lad Lit, and explore the ramifications of this for creative writing practitioners.

Doctor of Philosophy / The current study explored the formative processes of twelve student teachers constructing role understandings in the context of their experiences and interactions with people with disabilities. In particular, it examined the participants’ changing notions of self-as-teacher and their unfolding perceptions of an inclusive educator’s role in teaching children with disabilities. The research aimed to investigate personal and professional forms of knowledge linked with the prior subjective life experiences of the student teachers and those arising from their interactions in situated learning experiences in community settings. The contextual framework of the study focused on the development of the student teachers’ unique understandings and awareness of people with disabilities through processes of biographical situated learning. The investigation examined participants’ voluntary out-ofcourse experiences with people with disabilities across three community settings for the ways in which these experiences facilitated the participants’ emerging role understandings. These settings included respite experiences in families’ homes of young children with disabilities receiving early intervention, an after-school recreational program for primary and secondary aged children and adolescents with disabilities, and an independent living centre providing post-school options and activities for adults with disabilities. ii Two groups participated in the current study, each consisted of six student teachers in the Bachelor of Education Course at the Bathurst campus of Charles Sturt University. Group One participants were in the second year compulsory inclusive education subject and Group Two participants were in the third year elective early intervention subject. The investigation examines the nature of reflexive and reflective processes of the student teachers from subjective, conflict realities in an attempt to link community experiences with real-life issues affecting inclusive educational practices. The voluntary community experiences engaged the research participants in multi-faceted interactions with people with disabilities, providing thought-provoking contexts for their reflections on observations, responses and reactions to situations, such as critical incidents. The participants engaged in reflexive and reflective processes in records made in learning journals and in semi-structured interviews conducted throughout the investigation. Results were analysed from a constructivist research paradigm to investigate their emerging role understandings. Prior to this study there had been few practical components in the compulsory undergraduate inclusive education subject which meant that previously student teachers gained theoretical knowledge without the opportunity to apply their learning. Many student teachers had expressed their feelings of anxiety and uneasiness about what they should do and say to a person with a disability. Thus, the community experiences were selected in order to give a specific context for student teachers’ learning and to provide participants with expanded opportunities to consider their professional identity, social awareness and acceptance of people with disabilities. iii An analysis of the data demonstrated the centrality of reflection within a situated teaching and learning framework. Understandings of prior experiences and motivation were shown to interact with the outcomes of the community experiences through an on-going process of reflection and reflexivity. This reconstructing process encouraged learners to reflect on past, present and projected future experiences and reframe actions from multiple perspectives as a way of exploring alternatives within broader contexts. The data reveal the participants’ engagement in the community experiences facilitated their awareness of wider socio-cultural educational issues, while focusing their attention on more appropriate inclusive teaching and learning strategies. The reflective inquiry process of identifying diverse issues led participants to consider other possible alternatives to current community practices for better ways to support their changing perspectives on ideal inclusive classroom practices. The dialogic nature of participants’ on-going deliberations contributed to the construction of their deeper understandings of an inclusive educator’s role. The findings of the study identified external environmental and internal personal factors as contributing biographical influences which shaped the student teachers’ emerging role understandings. The results emphasised the value of contextual influences in promoting desirable personal and professional qualities in student teachers. Importantly, situated learning enhanced participants’ unique interpretations of their prospective roles. As a result of analysing their insights from interactions in community contexts, the student teachers had increased their personal and professional understandings of individuals with disabilities and broadened their perceptions of their roles as inclusive educators. Thus, the study found that encouraging a biographical reflexive and reflective orientation in participants was conducive iv to facilitating changes in their understandings. Overall, the outcomes had benefits for student teachers and teacher educators in finding innovative ways for integrating biographical perspectives into situated teaching and learning approaches. The study showed that contextual influences facilitated deeper understanding of role identity and produced new ideas about the nature of reflexivity and reflection in guiding student teachers’ learning.

As a consequence, it is acknowledged that PFL teachers must be prepared to deal with the challenges that arise from teaching their mother tongue as a foreign language, which highlight the necessity and relevance of studies focusing on the preparation process of PFL teachers. According to Leffa (2001), one of the most discussed topics within the teacher education is the importance to differentiate the term teacher education from the term training. The former is related to the teachers’ reflection process according to their own teaching practice, and the latter is connected to the execution of tasks that achieve immediate results. In order to foster the reflective practice, it seems to be necessary to create opportunities, so teachers can, collaboratively, with other colleagues, engage themselves in a process of developing a broader comprehension related to the teaching and learning processes. Therefore, it is relevant the presence of, at least, one expertise teacher. Following this premise, the overall objective of this study is to reflect on the teachers knowledge that pre-service teacher education operate in the teaching of Portugues as a Foreign Language or as a Second Language in immersion context. The specific goals of this study are to analyze expectations related to the teaching of PFL (prior teaching knowledge) presented by pre-service teachers, to verify which knowledge teachers operationalize in practice to deal with teaching specificities (linguistic and cultural), analyze the types of challenges teachers face when they are teaching their native language for speakers of other languages, and to explore context variables in teacher’s practice. This research is theoretically based on studies on reflective processes of teacher education and teachers knowledge (SHULMAN, 1987; SCHÖN, 2000; TARDIF E RAYMOND, 2000; LEFFA, 2001; CHARLOT, 2005; ZEICHNER, 2008; DUTRA, 2010, ALVAREZ, 2010; KANEKO-MARQUES, 2011; ROCHA E GILENO, 2016), and its methodology will rely upon an ethnographic qualititative perspective. The contexts of data collection were in Brazil (pre-service teacher education). We indicate as the main result of this research the need to carry out collaborative work with the pre- service teacher education and to create opportunities so that they can develop reflective practice on the pedagogical action. We expect that this study will contribute to a better understanding of specificities related to PFL teaching practice, in Brazilian contexts, allowing pre-service teachers to (re)define their pedagogical practices. / Com a projeção do Brasil no cenário político-econômico e a internacionalização das universida- des brasileiras, a demanda por profissionais qualificados para atuar no ensino do português língua estrangeira (PLE) tem aumentado significativamente. Como desdobramento dessa demanda, reconhecemos que o professor de PLE precisa estar preparado para enfrentar possíveis desafios de ensinar sua língua materna como idioma estrangeiro seja no Brasil ou no exterior, o que evi- dencia a necessidade e a relevância de trabalhos de pesquisa focalizando o processo de formação de professores dessa área. De acordo com Leffa (2001), um dos temas mais discutidos na área de formação de professores é a importância em diferenciar os termos formar e treinar. Formar está relacionado com o processo de reflexão do professor sobre a sua prática e o treinamento se refere à execução de tarefas cujo propósito é alcançar resultados imediatos por meio de avalia- ção de produto e não de processo. Para desenvolver a prática reflexiva se faz necessário criar oportunidades para que o professor, juntamente com outros professores, construa significados sobre o processo de ensino e aprendizagem de modo colaborativo. Nesse sentido, é relevante que um deles tenha mais experiência. Partindo dessa perspectiva, o objetivo geral desta pesquisa é refletir sobre saberes docentes com os quais os professores em formação operacionalizam o ensino de Português Língua Estrangeira e Segunda Língua, em contexto brasileiro. Os objetivos específicos são analisar expectativas sobre o ensino de PLE (saberes anteriores à prática) dos professores em formação, verificar quais saberes esses professores operacionalizam na prática para lidar com especificidades (linguísticas e culturais) relacionadas ao ensino, analisar possí- veis desafios que os professores enfrentam ao ensinar o português como língua estrangeira, e averiguar variáveis contextuais na atuação de professores em formação. O arcabouço teórico que fundamenta esta pesquisa é baseado em estudos sobre reflexão/processo reflexivo, formação de professores e saberes docentes (SHULMAN, 1987; SCHÖN, 2000; TARDIF E RAYMOND, 2000; LEFFA, 2001; CHARLOT, 2005; ZEICHNER, 2008; DUTRA, 2010, ALVAREZ, 2010; KANEKO-MARQUES, 2011; ROCHA E GILENO, 2016 e outros). A metodologia de pesquisa é fundamentada na abordagem qualitativa de base etnográfica e interpretativista. O contexto de coleta de dados refere-se à atuação de professores em formação no Brasil. Apontamos como resultado principal desta pesquisa a necessidade de realizar trabalho colaborativo com os pro- fessores em formação e criar oportunidades para que eles possam desenvolver prática reflexiva sobre a ação pedagógica. A expectativa é de que o desenvolvimento desta investigação possa contribuir para melhor compreensão de especificidades sobre o ensino de PLE, possibilitando que o professor em formação (re)signifique o fazer pedagógico.

The thesis consists of three papers of the author. In the first paper, it is shown that the sets of Fréchet subdifferentiability of Lipschitz functions on a Banach space X are Borel if and only if X is reflexive. This answers a ques- tion of L. Zajíček. In the second paper, a problem of G. Debs, G. Godefroy and J. Saint Raymond is solved. On every separable non-reflexive Banach space, equivalent strictly convex norms with the set of norm-attaining func- tionals of arbitrarily high Borel class are constructed. In the last paper, binormality, a separation property of the norm and weak topologies of a Ba- nach space, is studied. A result of P. Holický is generalized. It is shown that every Banach space which belongs to a P-class is binormal. It is also shown that the asplundness of a Banach space is equivalent to a related separation property of its dual space. 1

Orientador: Ana Maria Lombardi Daibem / Banca: Alice Helena Campos Pierson / Banca: Renato Eugênio da Silva Diniz / Resumo: O presente trabalho buscou enfocar as práticas docentes no ensino de ciências nas séries finais do Ensino Fundamental, na atualidade, e os fundamentos teóricos que as embasam, assim como o nível de envolvimento dos professores com as propostas de inovações e/ou reorganizações curriculares para tal ensino. A pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa, teve a participação de cinco professores de ciências que atuam em quatro escolas da rede pública estadual de São Paulo. Para a coleta de dados foram aplicados questionários, realizadas entrevistas individuais e grupais, observadas 25 (vinte e cinco) aulas desses professores e analisados seus planos de ensino e os livros didáticos adotados por eles. Através desses instrumentos tentou-se desvendar o retrato do ensino de ciências na atualidade e os entraves que limitam as práticas docentes para compreensão do que falta para que o ensino e a aprendizagem ocorram de modo mas satisfatório. Estes aspectos foram priorizados por serem relevantes como ponto de partida para qualquer processo de mudança no ensino. Conclui-se que, muito ainda há de ser feito, principalmente no campo da formação inicial e continuada de professores de ciências, visto que o ensino ministrado conserva os pressupostos da pedagogia tradicional, quando o desejável seria o ensino ativo, para o alcance da educação voltada para a alfabetização científica. / Abstract: This paper aims to give emphasis about practical teaching of science teachers of high school nowadays, as well to concern about theorical embasaments of teaching and learning and so their involvement when facing innovation and/or reorganization purposes related to this matter. The research based on qualitative data had 05 science teachers from public schools of São Paulo State and the data were gathered through 25 questionnaires, individual and grupal interviews and 25 times observation of classes by these teachers when doing that. Their schedules (plans of work), school methods adopted by high schools were still subjected to a study. By those instruments the portrait of science nowadays was the goal to face problems that this work can cause to education process, in order to bring comprehension to the lacks of teacher's practice to make them the way to a better job in education (satisfaction ways of doing this). These points of view were considered initial to any change in education process. Finally, there are so much things to do in education mainly about professional career, about its beginning and in its continuing of science teachers, cause their job still has traditional pedagogic practices and the ideal way to work could be actually being active when teaching, in order to reach scientific alphabetization in educational process. / Mestre

Contexte. Objectifs principaux : explorer l’expérience vécue vécu des neurologues et des patients des annonces de mauvaises nouvelles dans la sclérose en plaques, le vécu de la pathologie ainsi que de la qualité de leur relation dans le contexte du suivi d’un projet thérapeutique, et d’envisager la création d’un outil clinique réflexif pour les neurologues destiné à contribuer au maintien d’une relation de qualité durant l’ensemble du parcours de soins. Méthodologie. Étude qualitative multicentrique ; analyse des verbatims : 63 entretiens cliniques de recherche - 35 patients et 20 entretiens - 20 neurologues ; 3 entretiens - relecture d’items ; triangulation méthodologique ; triangulation des observateurs/résultats ; analyse IPA et analyse clinique d’orientation psychodynamique. Résultats. Les annonces de mauvaises nouvelles dans la SEP sont vécues comme des expérience anxiogènes pour la majorité des neurologues de la recherche, des situations source de frustration et parfois d’impuissance. Les impacts psychiques engendrés par les annonces de mauvaises nouvelles, la perception dans certains cas d’une relation au médecin dénuée d’empathie, le sentiment d’impuissance lié au caractère imprévisible de l’évolution de cette maladie progressivement handicapante ainsi qu’une défiance quant à l’efficacité des traitements proposés expliquent en partie la fragilité de l’alliance thérapeutique avec le neurologue et les réactions psychologiques parfois extrêmes des patients qui en découlent. Conclusion et ouverture. Résultats obtenus : engager une réflexion éthique sur les informations à transmettre au patient, et proposer une formation aux neurologues basée sur l’outil élaboré / Context. This research aims to explore the neurologist’s and patient’s lived experiences of breaking bad news in multiple sclerosis and the lived experience of this disease, to understand the basic conditions of their relationship, and to create reflective clinical tools aimed at helping neurologists to maintain the quality of their relationship with the patients. Methodology. Multicentre qualitative study presents the results obtained from the analysis of 83 clinical research interviews with 35 patients and 20 neurologists, using IPA and a clinical psychodynamic. Results. Breaking bad news (BBN) in multiple sclerosis are lived as stressful experience for the majority of the neurologists of the research, a situations lived with frustration and sometimes powerlessness. Psychic impacts engendered by the BBN, the perception in certain cases of a relation to the doctor divested of empathy, the feeling of powerlessness linked to the unpredictable character of the evolution of this gradually crippling disease as well as a mistrust as for the efficiency of the proposed treatments explain partially the fragility of the therapeutic alliance with the neurologist and sometimes the extreme psychological reactions of the patients. Conclusion and opening. Results obtained : engage an ethical reflection on the information to transmit to the patient, and to suggest training to neurologists based on the tool created in tis research

Extra-marital affairs are the main reason for divorce in western society. Pastoral therapists usually operate within a modernistic theology and use their 'expert' knowledge of theological ethics to confront the unfaithful spouse - a pastoral therapeutic approach that neither delivers the desired results, nor honours the client's expertise and freedom. This study endeavoured to socially construct pastoral therapy using the principles of postmodernistic social construction discourse with couples/spouses where one spouse is or was engaged in an extramarital affair. The relation between a modernistic epistemology and a postmodernistic epistemology, and how this relation affects theology, practical theology and pastoral therapy were explored. The propium of pastoral therapy in a postmodemistic paradigm and the implications of a narrative approach in pastoral therapy for theological ethics were reflected upon. A narrative description of extra-marital affairs was constructed and some of the cultural discourses which co-constitute extra-marital affairs were discussed. The pastoral therapist and clients were simultaneously in conversation with ethical discourses and relational, personal and emotional discourses, thus co-constructing new alternatives and possibilities. During these multiple reflexive conversations, some of the cultural discourses (eros; self-fulfilment; extra-marital sex and hedonism) which co-constitute extra-marital affairs were deconstructed. In the light of the usual limitations of the life-span of an extra-marital affair, the pastoral therapist and faithful spouses socially constructed alternatives and possibilities for their lives to enable them to outstay the extra-marital affair of the unfaithful spouse. Multiple reflexive conversations with (un)faithful spouses co-constructed, with relational and ethical discourses, a narrative approach in pastoral therapy. The use of externalisation and ritualisation in a narrative approach in pastoral therapy concerning extra-marital affairs was explored. A sense of guilt and secrets were also themes in multiple reflexive conversations with unfaithful spouses. This prompted reflection on the use of Scripture in a narrative approach in pastoral therapy. The relation between the biological-psychological aspects of extra-marital affairs and narrative therapy are also briefly explored. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / D. Th.

As ações artísticas realizadas trouxeram releituras de outras obras como também desenvolveram questões sobre o contexto em análise, conjugando criação prática com verificação teórica e procurando consolidar apreensões por meio de um exercício de escrita performativa. Esse interesse, em tornar visível as problemáticas urbanas por meio da performance, me levou a campos externos à minha primeira formação, Arquitetura e Urbanismo, para reconstruir, na fronteira, críticas transformadoras e propulsoras de outras formas de análise, síntese e expressão. Diante disso, combino sensações com percepções em contextos produtivos — espaços públicos de Salvador — para realizar outros sentidos. Iniciei esse exercício com a efetivação de seis performances, a saber: Já está limpo!, Jardins da Babilônia, Na aba do meu chapéu, Playground na Ladeira da Montanha, O mar pela greta e A saúde é osso, para, então, dialogar, prioritariamente, com os autores Agamben, Rolnik, Foucault, Benjamin, Clifford, Carlson, Deleuze e Guattari. Por essa trajetória de fazer-sentir-e-pensar, eu simulei problemas de gestão urbana, formalizei artifícios de percepção e compreensão das vivências realizadas e criei outras possibilidades de expressão e análise sobre a complexidade das cidades contemporâneas. Para tanto, intrometi-me na paisagem soteropolitana e colei sujeito e objeto na minha condição de pesquisadora para reapresentar ao cidadão comum a cidade onde vive e confrontar o citadino consigo mesmo na condição de coletivo. / This work presents reflections drawn from six performances that were experienced in specific areas of the city of Salvador - set of urban thoroughfares labeled by me as "Soteropolicity". The actions undertaken brought artistic reinterpretations of other works but also developped questions about the context, combining practical creation with theoretical verification and seeking to consolidate seizures through an exercise of performative writing. This interest, in turning urban problems visible through the performance, took me to external fields of my first studies, Architecture and Urbanism, to rebuild, on the border, transformative and propellant critics of other forms of analysis, synthesis and expression. Therefore, I combine sensations with perceptions in productive contexts - public spaces in Salvador - to do other senses. I started this exercise with the execution of six performances, namely: Já está limpo!, Jardins da Babilônia, Na aba do meu chapéu, Playground na Ladeira da Montanha, O mar pela greta e A saúde é osso, to then discuss, primarily, with the authors: Agamben, Rolnik, Foucault, Benjamin, Clifford, Carlson, Deleuze and Guattari. Through this trajectory, to-do-tofeel- and-to-think, I simulated problems of urban management, I formalized tricks of perception and understanding of the experiences made and I created other opportunities for expression and analysis of the complexity of contemporary cities. Therefore, I butted me in the landscape of Salvador and I pasted subject and object in my condition of researcher to restate the common citizen the city where he lives and to confront the townsman with himself in the condition of the collective.

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / A presente pesquisa de mestrado configura-se como um trabalho no âmbito da História do Pensamento Geográfico no qual privilegia-se a relação geografia e religião expressa no subcampo da geografia cultural: geografia da religião. Seu objetivo central é compreender a dinâmica de desenvolvimento deste subcampo, expresso nos estudos que vem se realizando nesta área e melhor compreendida se elaborarmos os seguintes questionamentos: (a) em que contexto se desenvolveu e vem se desenvolvendo o subcampo em tela? (b) como se caracteriza o subcampo em termos nacionais? (c) Quais são as categorias de análise/conceitos próprios deste subcampo? (d) Quais são as metodologias genuinamente pertencentes ao subcampo? Com o objetivo de concretizá-la, nos utilizamos do conceito de campo e do método reflexivo interpretado por Pierre Bourdieu (1989), conjugadas as três dimensões da cultura de Raymond Williams (1992); das congruências interdisciplinares das ciências sociais que abordam o fenômeno religioso, sendo elas a Sociologia e a Antropologia; como também da relação geografia cultural-geografia da religião. O recorte temporal se mescla a linha cronológica da geografia cultural no Brasil, iniciando em 1989 e condicionada ao término da integralização do curso de mestrado, em 2009. A importância desta proposta consiste na tentativa de construir um quadro panorâmico dos estudos em geografia da religião no Brasil. / This masters thesis presents itself as a work in the History of Geographical Thought which the focus is the relationship between geography and religion expressed in the subfield of cultural geography: geography of religion. Its main objective is to understand the dynamics of development of this subfield, expressed in the studies that have been performed in this area and better understood if we elaborated the following questions: (a) what is the context that the subfield was developed and is developing? (b) how is characterized the subfield in national terms? (c) what are the categories of analysis / concepts peculiar to this subfield? (d) What are the methodologies genuinely belonging to the subfield? In order to make it happen, we use the field concept and method reflective by Pierre Bourdieu (1989), combined to the three dimensions of culture by Raymond Williams (1992); also, the interdisciplinary between social sciences like Sociology and Anthropology, and also the relation between the cultural geography and the geography of religion. The time line is the same of cultural geography in Brazil, starting in 1989 and conditional upon the end of my master course period, in 2009. The importance of this proposal is an attempt to build a general overview of studies in geography of religion in Brazil.
