Este trabalho tem o objetivo de estudar o movimento abolicionista de São Paulo pela perspectiva de duas lojas maçônicas existentes na cidade, Piratininga e América. Num universo de cinco lojas maçônicas existentes na cidade, optou-se por analisar as Lojas Piratininga e América em razão de ambas reunirem as principais lideranças abolicionistas da capital da província, Luiz Gama e Antonio Bento. Na primeira parte da pesquisa, investiga-se a atuação dessas lojas no movimento abolicionista, considerando que cada uma delas possuía diretrizes distintas sobre como deveriam proceder perante o tema do encaminhamento da extinção do trabalho escravo. Na segunda parte, com o intuito de compreender em que medida as narrativas maçônicas sobre a memória da abolição superestimaram a atuação perpetrada pela organização no processo abolicionista desencadeado entre as décadas de 1870 e 1880, é feita uma análise da literatura maçônica e de outros espaços que cumpriram o papel de consagrar a memória da abolição maçônica em São Paulo. Para o desenvolvimento do presente estudo tomou-se como referência os livros de atas produzidos entre os anos de 1850 e 1880, bem como documentos avulsos, cujos acervos encontram-se depositados nos arquivos particulares das referidas lojas. Embora os livros de atas correspondam à documentação principal da pesquisa, outras fontes maçônicas encontradas também em arquivos públicos como jornais, regulamentos e constituições foram incorporados ao estudo, assim como, jornais não maçônicos, de larga circulação na época, que oferecem dados sobre o cotidiano das atividades maçônicas.This thesis aims to study the abolitionist movement in São Paulo through the perspective of two masonic lodges, Piratininga and America. In a political universe of five masonic lodges, we decided to analyze those lodges because they harbored the most prominent abolitionist leaders of the city, Luiz Gama and Antonio Bento. In the first part of this research, we will look at the performance of the masonic lodges, considering the fact that they had diferente guidelines for procedures regarding the end of slavery. In the second part, with the goal of understanding how the narratives of the masonic lodges about the memory of abolition overestimated their actions in the decades between 1870 e 1880, we will analyze the masonic literature and other institutions that played a major role in consecrating the memory of masonic abolition in São Paulo. This study is based on minute books written between 1850 and 1880 and others primary sources found in the archives of Masonic Lodges. Though the minute books is the main source of this research, we will analyze other public archives, newspapers, and documents that had a wide circulation and provide us with details of the daily procedures of Masonic lodges.

Full textAbstract:
The following pages contain a study of the British media coverage of freemasonry in the twentieth century. They consider how and why the public image of freemasonry changed from that of a highly-respected elite organisation, at the centre of public life in 1900, to a position on the fringes, regarded by many with suspicion and disapproval in the 1990s. They focus on national newspapers only. This thesis describes how the press projected a positive message of the organisation for almost 40 years, based on a mass of news, which I believe - and show - emanated from the organisation itself (making it an unexpected pioneer in modern public relations practice). It concludes that the change of image and public regards which occurred during the twentieth century was due, mainly, to Masonic withdrawal from the public sphere. It considers - and finds wanting - the suggestion that this withdrawal was a response to Fascist persecution and it offers a number of additional explanations. Freemasonry's reluctance to engage with the media after 1939 powerfully assisted its critics, who grew in strength as a result of developments within the media and the churches. Within the media, greater competition spawned a more challenging form of journalism and accelerated the decline of deference. The rise of secularism and religious pluralism in Britain provided Christianity with increases competition and led some adherents to re-define freemasonry and treat it as a rival. "Conspiracy culture" remained strong throughout the period, rendering the secrecy of freemasonry a major handicap to public understanding. The history of freemasonry in twentieth century Britain is largely an unexplored field and, in examining the fraternity's media profile, this study also illuminates the organisation's collisions with nationalism, communism, and state welfare provision.

Full textAbstract:
The record of Robert Moray's initiation into freemasonry in Newcastle in 1641 is the first record of freemasonry on English soil. A century later, freemasonry had spread throughout the whole of England, with several thousand initiates partaking in regular meetings in over one hundred lodges. The English form of freemasonry had also spread across the world, with lodges in America, Europe, and Asia, mostly governed by the English Grand Lodge which acted as a governing body for English freemasonry around the world. This thesis tracks the development of English freemasonry during the first century of its recorded existence, charting the changing elements of freemasonic organisation which led to the centralisation of freemasonry under the Grand Lodge system, along with the developments in ritual, and the mythology which underlined that ritual, throughout the period. In charting these developments, the thesis questions the assumptions which have informed the writing of freemasonic history for the past two centuries, and seeks to investigate both the origins and the accuracy of those assumptions. Previous freemasonic history has relied on the significance of the formation of the English Grand Lodge in 1717 and the influence of certain individuals (particularly John Theophilus Desaguliers) to demonstrate a dramatic change in freemasonry during the early 1720s. This thesis will argue that, far from a dramatic change, the developments which took place during the second decade of the eighteenth century were part of a longer trend of development, and can not be fully understood by focussing on the centralisation of freemasonry under the English Grand Lodge which is a symptom, rather than a cause, of the changing face of English freemasonry.

Full textAbstract:
Following the appointment of its first aristocratic Grand Masters in the 1720s and in the wake of its connections to the scientific Enlightenment, ‘Free and Accepted’ Masonry rapidly became part of Britain’s national profile and the largest and arguably the most influential of Britain’s extensive clubs and societies. The new organisation did not evolve naturally from the mediaeval guilds and religious orders that pre-dated it, but was reconfigured radically by a largely self-appointed inner core. Freemasonry became a vehicle for the expression and transmission of the political and religious views of those at its centre, and for the scientific Enlightenment concepts that they championed. The ‘Craft’ also offered a channel through which many sought to realise personal aspirations: social, intellectual and financial. Through an examination of relevant primary and secondary documentary evidence, this thesis seeks to contribute to a broader understanding of contemporary English political and social culture, and to explore the manner in which Freemasonry became a mechanism that promoted the interests of the Hanoverian establishment and connected and bound a number of élite metropolitan and provincial figures. A range of networks centred on the aristocracy, parliament, the magistracy and the learned and professional societies are studied, and key individuals instrumental in spreading and consolidating the Masonic message identified. The thesis also explores the role of Freemasonry in the development of the scientific Enlightenment. The evidence suggests that Freemasonry should be recognised not only as the most prominent of the many eighteenth century fraternal organisations, but also as a significant cultural vector and a compelling component of the social, economic, scientific and political transformation then in progress.

Full textAbstract:
Throughout the 1920s, America was marked by a series of fundamental political, social and economic shifts that defined the decade. The rise of the Second Ku Klux Klan was just one of the many results of the underlying tensions produced by the radical changes of the period. This fervently patriotic and nativist organization has captivated onlookers and academics because of its peculiar customs and its mysterious resurgence following the First World War. Historians have thoroughly analysed this groupâs ideology, and have presented detailed case studies of the growth and decline of individual chapters of this vast organization. The 1920s Klan has been studied from practically every possible angle. However, researchers have neglected to study the orderâs fraternal traditions and their relationship with other fraternities. This thesis hopes to address this oversight by offering a critical evaluation of the Ku Klux Klanâs role as a fraternity. This thesis will analyse how this order functioned as a fraternity, and how these traditions helped recruit followers to the movement. This study will also discuss how the Klan interacted with other fraternities, particularly the Freemasons. These two fraternities shared a complex relationship with elements of both cooperation and conflict, and their interactions will help us comprehend how the Ku Klux Klan managed to become the foremost fraternal movement of the 1920s. This thesis will analyse a number of different aspects about the Ku Klux Klan, from their ideology and rituals to their sales methods and public relations campaign. This study hopes to re-evaluate a number of key assumptions about this group by critically assessing the Klan from a different perspective. By investigating the response of fraternities like the Freemasons to an intrusive and aggressive order like the Klan, we can gain a better understanding of how the nation as a whole perceived and reacted to this peculiar organization.

Full textAbstract:
Anthony Vidler's recent monograph on the eighteenth-century French architect Claude-Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806) characterizes certain aspects of Ledoux's work as Masonic. Vidler defines Freemasonry primarily as an instrument of sociability. His recognition of Masonic imagery and intent, especially in Ledoux's Ideal City, combines with certain details of Ledoux's life to convince Vidler of Ledoux's adherence to a Masonic or quasi-Masonic lodge.The matter remains open to debate. Vidler's view of Freemasonry does not entirely accord with its factious and ambitious condition in eighteenth-century France. Nor does he sufficiently address the public manifestation of Masonic symbolism which, despite the Order's code of secrecy, was divulged to the profane, emerging architecturally as part of Neoclassicism's stylistic revival of the antique. The weakness of Vidler's analysis becomes apparent when he overlooks Masonic symbolism in a project that does not conform to his positive image of the Order: Ledoux's network of customs houses for Paris, the project he called the Propylaea.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the transitional phases of English Freemasonry from the midseventeenth century into what can be described as a Masonic Enlightenment during the eighteenth century. This movement was part of a wider enterprising evolution led by the Newtonian experimental natural philosopher Dr. John Theophilus Desaguliers and James Anderson, both members of the London based Grand Lodge founded in 1717 and both staunch Hanoverians. The ritual, along with the accompanying Masonic symbolism, quickly became adopted into what would become known as 'Modem' Freemasonry, which spread its influence around England. One of the aims of this thesis is to assess why it was embraced by some areas, yet rejected by others, such as York. Scholarship to date has avoided analysis of the Masonic ritual, with Freemasonry being seen as a secret society, and many of the original documentation relating to Masonic lodges being held in private collections. The United Grand Lodge of England has only recently opened its 'archive and library to the public, though this has only revealed how much documentary material has either been lost or destroyed. An example of this is the absence of personal correspondence relating to Desaguliers' Masonic ritual changes, despite the evidence that changes where made by him. An objective of this dissertation is to examine why the development of 'Modem' Freemasonry was so successful, and why Desaguliers, and other members ofthe Royal Society were attracted to the Craft. The study will also assess the fermentation of Freemasonry as it transmuted from the 'operative' society into 'a more 'speculative' one during the seventeenth century. Precious little academic work has been published on this aspect of the society, and this study will analyse the contributions of Christopher Wren and Isaac Newton on the development of the Craft, concentrating on their emphasis upon the search for the divine measurement of Solomon's Temple. The later changes to the Masonic ritual reflected their work, displaying themes for the search of lost ancient knowledge set against the backdrop of the construction of Solomon's Temple. In this Masonic quest the ethos ofFreemasonry became shaped by fashionable and attractive concepts ofthe 'New Science' merging with the 'Old Science' of magic and alchemy. These concepts which became appealing in the light ofthe social and political atmosphere of the Whig Oligarchy of early eighteenth century England, will also be discussed, the study concluding with an examination of the overall contribution of the Masonic Enlightenment on English society.

Full textAbstract:
The philosophers of the Enlightenment base their ideas on reason while attracting public attention on the futility of religion. The concept of the universe inherited from Antiquity is rejuvenated by contemporary sciences and, at first sight, we would think that nature governs the supernatural. A number of philosophical works, which would today be considered anthropological, deal with the customs and manners of different countries of the world, inevitably describing the religious cults and ceremonies practiced throughout the centuries. To what extent are these rituals kept, neglected or transformed in the century of Enlightenment? What is the connection between the ceremonies of Antiquity and the rituals practiced in the confined space of modern secret societies? Speculative Freemasonry, introduced to France at the beginning of the 18 th century, counts among its members a number of well-known philosophers. Do these enlightened minds, most of whom are adversaries of religion, practice the rituals based on sacred and incommunicable mysteries? These are some of the questions which this dissertation tries to answer in analyzing the philosophers' (i.e. Voltaire, Dupuis, Boulanger, Demeunier) anthropological views; the origins of Freemasonry and the ancient sacred tradition; the founding murder and the sacrificial ritual; freemasonic and initiatory symbols in Ramsay's Voyages of Cyrus (1727); Ramsay's quest and the mysteries in his Discourse (1736); Casanova's Icosameron (1788), a freemasonic utopia, hermetic allegory and symbolic fable. This dissertation attempts to demonstrate that the denial of the mystery and the supposed domination of the world by reason are only the well-known and visible aspect of the 18 th century.

During the nineteenth century, the secret societies Ekpe (Egbo) of the Cross River and

and economic function that regulated the Calabar society. Its members, heads of the most
powerful families in Calabar, managed the slave trade with the Europeans. Both his
private esoteric exercise and public masquerades were integrated as a mechanism of his
economic dynamics. Finally, its members will be victims of this slave trade that has

Through comparative history, we will try to approach the inverse dynamics of the
incorporation of whites for Ekpe (Egbo) and Abakuá and black subjects for regular

Finalmente, sus miembros serían víctimas de ese comercio de esclavos que han ayudado a alimentar y terminarán como sujetos esclavizados en Cuba dando origen a lo Abakuá.

This project broadly situates African American Freemasonry in the complex and evolving relations of power, peoples, and polities of the Atlantic world. The study develops an interpretative framework that not only recognizes the organizational and institutional aspects of African American Freemasonry, but also interprets it as a discursive space in and through which articulations of race, class, gender, and place are theorized and performed.;"The Freemasonry of the Race" presents a critical cartography of African American Freemasons' responses to the social and political exigencies of the postemancipation period.

Utilizing African American Freemasonry as a critical optic, the major question this study attempts to respond to is: How can we historicize and (re)present African American Freemasonry in order to rethink the cultural and political space of the postemancipation period in the United States?;Borrowing and blending a number of methodologies from social history, literary theory, and cultural studies, "The Freemasonry of the Race": The Cultural Politics of Ritual, Race, and Place in Postemancipation Virginia presents a set of analytic essays on African American Freemasonry, each intimately concerned with deciphering some of the principles that organized and (re)constructed various regimes of power and normality along the fault lines of race, sex, gender, class, and place.

La franc-maçonnerie spéculative trouve l’origine de sa fondation, en 1717, en Angleterre,dans ce pays et ce siècle riches en créations de diverses associations ou clubs. Nombre d’entre eux, après des débuts encourageants, ont fini par péricliter, puis par disparaître. Alors que la maçonnerie a réussi à perdurer. Pourquoi ce succès ?Quels ont été les fondements sur lesquels la franc-maçonnerie a édifié sa réussite ?
La thèse identifie, sans tenir compte d’un ordre de valeur, une série de bases structurelles :l'investissement symbolique dans le temple ainsi que dans la pierre, la valorisation du secret, l'importance donnée à un système sacrificiel permettant de passer d'un état de nature à un état de culture, la création d’un espace sacré, la mise en place d’une classe « sacerdotale », l’invention d’un héros civilisateur.
Notre hypothèse de départ a été que ces causes de réussite, c’est d’abord dans la Bible qu’il convenait de les rechercher. Néanmoins, il ne fallait pas davantage perdre de vue que cette création est aussi le fruit d’une époque,l’Angleterre s’inscrivant dans le continuum de la Renaissance, le temps des découvertes ou des redécouvertes, le temps aussi d’une acceptation de l’autre dans sa différence. Ce siècle étant évidemment enfant des siècles précédents, s’intéresser aux maçons et donc également au travail, à l’architecture, devait tout naturellement nous amener à ne pas négliger les associations opératives du Moyen Age ou du début des Temps Modernes.
Enfin, ce travail de recherche montre que la pierre d’angle de tout le système maçonnique semble bien être l’invention du mythe d’Hiram avec lequel la franc-maçonnerie peut définitivement rassembler en un tout cohérent des éléments qu’elle avait glanés, épars, dans les récits vétéro et néo-testamentaires.

Full textAbstract:
An important but hitherto unstudied aspect of the women's movement in Britain between 1900 and 1935 was the appearance of organisations of Freemasons which admitted women. This thesis is a case study of one such body, the Honourable Fraternity of Antient Masonry (HFAM). The roots of women's Freemasonry reach back to the eighteenth-century French Lodges of Adoption. In 1902, the social reformer and Theosophist Annie Besant established a lodge of the French-based International Order of Co-Freemasonry, Le Droit Humain, in London. In 1908, the clergyman William Cobb led a secession from Besant's Order and created the HFAM, which under the charismatic leadership of Cobb and his successor Marion Halsey, became the largest British Masonic Order admitting women. An analysis of HFAM's social composition shows the dominance of aristocratic women during the period before 1914 and illustrates the functioning of social networks in support of the women's movement. HFAM mobilised these networks to support the campaign for women's suffrage. An innovative social experiment by the HFAM was the establishment in 1916 of the Halsey Training College to train secondary school teachers. With the expansion of the social basis of HFAM's membership after the First World War, HFAM's organisation of its philanthropic activities changed with the establishment of its Bureau of Service. This smaller-scale but more diverse social programme undertook effective work at a local level but ultimately proved unsustainable. The HFAM illustrates many structural issues of the women's movement: the importance of quasi-religions such as Theosophy; the leadership of aristocratic women; the importance of male support; and the effect of a shift to more local activities and a wider middle class membership after the First World War. In particular, the HFAM provides new perspectives on interpretations of the idea of the complementarity of the sexes within the women's movement to 1935.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the contribution of Freemasonry to the wider social, political and civic history of the South Wales town of Merthyr Tydfil during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Merthyr has been chosen for a case of the local importance of Freemasonry because during this period it experienced considerable social, political and cultural changes brought about by intensive industrialisation and urban expansion, the town becoming a magnet for immigration and spawning a flourishing popular culture that had a dramatic impact on both the town itself and the Welsh nation more generally. The history of Merthyr continues to attract many Welsh historians. However, in the main they have concentrated on the development of the working class, emphasising the growth of a distinctive Welsh radical ethos and working class identity. This has been privileged over the equally important development of the town's middle class, which from the earliest stage of industrial development, was essential to sustain the needs ofa swiftly developing community. The growth of Merthyr's nascent middle class was intimately linked to the development of Freemasonry within the town, and the membership records of Masonic lodges are a rich source for reconstructing and investigating historical patterns of social, political and business networking within the community. This study explores the ways in which the membership records of Merthyr's oldest Masonic lodge, the Loyal Cambrian Lodge, can be used to reconstruct social networks and investigate the history of Merthyr' s middle class, thereby illustrating the pivotal role of Freemasonry in Merthyr during this period. Such analysis provides new perspectives on Merthyr's social history and suggests that the civic culture of Merthyr, of which the Masonic lodge was an integral part, was more sophisticated during the nineteenth century than previously supposed.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is the result of an investigation into the representations of the Jew that existed in the English Catholic discourse during the final years of the nineteenth- and the early decades of the twentieth-century (1896-1929). As very little has been written about English Catholic representations of the Jew during this timeframe, the primary aim of this project has been to excavate a layer of discourse which, with the exception of the published works of a few prominent individuals, has hitherto remained largely unexamined. In order to increase our understanding of the English Catholic discourse as much as possible, a wide range of sources have been examined, including the published works of prominent, obscure and anonymous authors, the pastoral letters and sermons of cardinals, bishops and priests, articles and editorials in English Catholic newspapers and periodicals, pamphlets, personal correspondence, letters to the editors of newspapers, unpublished documents and a small number of oral testimonies. Three main types of representation of the Jew have been uncovered in this project: the roles assigned to the Jew in traditional Christian myths, contemporary stereotypes of the Jew, and composite constructions which combine themes drawn from myths and stereotypes. Representations of the Jew which originated in traditional Christian myths include the Jew as Pharisee, Christ-Killer, fanatical murderer, diabolic sorcerer and Antichrist. Contemporary stereotypes portray the Jew as usurious, cowardly, unpatriotic and secretive. Composite constructions combining themes from traditional myths and contemporary stereotypes include the Jew-Freemason conspirator and the Zionist Menace. The material examined reveals that representations of the Jew in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century were not always modern in character. In the case of the English Catholic discourse, they were often pre-modern or anti-modern. Many existing studies of English antisemitism argue that by the late nineteenth century, constructions of the Jew based on traditional Christian myths had largely, though not entirely, been replaced by modern socio-political and racial forms of antisemitism. This study however demonstrates that traditional religious myths about the Jews continued to thrive and function in the English Catholic discourse. Their continued existence was not confined to a handful of narrative artefacts from a bygone era. English Catholic constructions of the Jew combined these persistent Christian myths with other more contemporary social stereotypes, though surprisingly, the one element that was usually absent from these constructions was "race." Jews were rarely denigrated as racially inferior in the English Catholic discourse and there were few references to biology or pseudo-scientific "race" theories. They were however portrayed as greedy, cowardly, disloyal and secretive villains and diabolized as Pharisees, Christ-Killers, fanatical murderers, sorcerers and Antichrists. In some cases the language used to describe the Jew, the Pharisee, the Zionist and the Jew-Freemason, drew upon a vocabulary which suggested an apocalyptic conflict between the forces of good and evil.

This thesis examines the involvement of the French Freemason movement in the Resistance during the Occupation of France by the Germans 1939-1945, its relationship with the Vichy government and the effect the 'Nouvelle Révolution' had on the lives of individual Masons. To set the scene and to put the role of Freemasonry into perspective in the life of France and the French political system, the origins of French Freemasonry are examined and explained. The main French Masonic obediences are discussed and the differences between them emphasised. The particular attributes of a Freemason are described and the ideals and ethos of the Order is discussed. From its earliest days, Freemasonry has often been persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church or by extreme Right-wing movements. The history of this persecution is reviewed and the reasons for its persistence noted, with especial emphasis on the treatment of Freemasons under the fascist regimes of Italy and Germany. The fate of Freemasonry in countries under German control is also briefly examined. With the occupation of France by the Germans, the differences and similarities of the treatment of French and German Freemasons are discussed. The processes and legislation of this ban are closely examined and the part played by the Vichy government in the persecution of French Freemasonry is discussed. The effects of this persecution and the consequences for individuals are examined and the Freemason's role in the emerging Resistance movement is reviewed. The contribution of many lodges to the Resistance movement is examined and the sacrifice of many Freemasons for their ideals is emphasised.

A influência da Maçonaria no Brasil, ainda é um tema muito pouco estudado pela historiografia. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar mais a fundo qual seria o papel das lojas maçônicas na difusão do movimento republicano na província de São Paulo, entre o final da década de 1860 e 1889, em meio à expansão cafeeira e a formação de uma nova elite econômica que desejava maior representação política. A partir da queda do gabinete de Zacarias de Góes, em 1868, houve a formação do Partido Republicano Paulista (PRP). Nesse período, era criada a Loja América, importante centro difusor das idéias republicanas na província, dela fizeram parte importantes figuras do movimento republicano, como Américo Brasiliense, Américo de Campos e Rangel Pestana. Analisou-se como a Maçonaria se comportou diante das principais questões do período, como o republicanismo, o debate abolicionista e a Questão Religiosa. E principalmente, como a difusão das lojas maçônicas pelo Oeste Paulista contribuiu para a criação e o fortalecimento das redes clientelares que formavam a base política do PRP em seus anos iniciais.The influence of Freemasonry in Brazil, is still a topic too little studied by historiography. The aim of this study is to analyze more deeply what is the role of the Masonic lodges in the dissemination of the Republican movement in the province of Sao Paulo, between end of the 1860 and 1889, during the coffee economic expansion and the formation of a new economic elite who wished to greater political representation. From the end of the ministry of Zacarias de Goes in 1868 there was formation of the Republican Party of São Paulo (PRP). During this period, was created the Lodge América, an important center for disseminating ideas of republicans in the province, it took part in important figures of the republican movement as Américo Brasiliense, Americo de Campos and Rangel Pestana. Analyzed how Freemasonry has behaved in front of the main issues of the period, such as republicanism, the abolitionist debate and the Religious Question. And especially, how the spread of Masonic lodges across the West Paulista contributed to the creation and strengthening of clientelist networks that formed the political basis of the PRP in its early years.

O objetivo geral da dissertação é analisar as narrativas antimaçônicas difundidas no Brasil, sobretudo, na primeira metade do século XX, com destaque para o livro História Secreta do Brasil escrito por Gustavo Barroso em 1937. A partir do estudo das diferentes feições assumidas pelas narrativas antimaçônicas desde o início do século XVIII, sobretudo na Europa, busca-se compreender os elos de continuidade e os novos elementos acrescidos pela obra de Gustavo Barroso, os quais dialogavam com o clima de radicalização política e de crescimento do autoritarismo que caracterizaram, particularmente, o Brasil da década de 1930. Não obstante, os discursos anti-semitas, antimaçônicos e anti-comunistas, proferidos pelo Chefe das Milícias Integralistas, transforma-se no eixo central de uma narrativa que busca explicações para as seqüências de acontecimentos, ditos secretos, que assolavam o pais naquele contexto. Situação esta agravada pelos confrontos diretos entre a Aliança Nacional Libertadora e a Ação Integralista Brasileira, principalmente entre os anos de 1935 a 1938.
The general objective of this thesis is to analyze the narratives Anti-Masonry spread in Brazil, especially in the first half of the twentieth century, especially the book Secret History of Brazil written by Gustavo Barroso in 1937. From the study of different traits displayed by the Anti-Masons narratives from the early eighteenth century, especially in Europe, we seek to understand the links of continuity and new elements added by the work of Gustavo Barroso, who dialogued with the climate of political radicalization and growth of authoritarianism that characterized particularly Brazil from the 1930s. Nevertheless, the speeches anti-Semitic, Anti-Masons and anti-communists, delivered by the Chief of the Militia Integralists, becomes the central axis of a narrative that seeks explanations for the sequences of events, told the secret, which ravaged the country in that context. This situation is aggravated by clashes between the National Liberation Alliance and Brazilian Integralism, especially among the years 1935 to 1938.

This dissertation had as its object of study the thematic of the interfaces between Freemasonry history and its actions and precepts on education. The research began with a brief history of the Freemasonry, which revealed its first ever known educational experience: a school for girls in England. Then a profile of the Freemasonry was built mainly from the central ideas about the teaching they conducted, which gained the interest of the eighteenth century media and therefore also gained print. Another factor that contributed to constructing this profile were the propositions made by Rui Barbosa, which were weighed against the Masonic ideal in Brazil at the time. Finally, Padre Azevedo School was analysed. This school was founded in João Pessoa in 1957, marking the presence of the Freemasonry on education in the state of Paraíba. The school founded and maintained partly by the Masonry, partly by public entities and private donations was studied through thorough readings of the Masonic Lodge´s session records that enabled discussions around the school routines yielded within the Lodge to be gathered.
O presente trabalho tem como objeto de estudo a temática das interfaces entre a história da Maçonaria e suas ações e preceitos acerca da educação. Iniciamos com um breve histórico da Maçonaria indicando a primeira experiência educacional que se tem notícia uma escola para meninas na Inglaterra; em seguida traçamos o perfil da Maçonaria no Brasil tendo como foco central as ideias sobre instrução, veiculadas pela imprensa oitocentista, e as propostas educacionais elaboradas por Rui Barbosa com as possíveis articulações com o ideário maçônico no Brasil. Por fim, analisamos a Escola Padre Azevedo, criada em João Pessoa, em 1957, como uma espécie de modelo paraibano de atuação da Maçonaria na educação. A Escola fundada e mantida pela Maçonaria, por entidades públicas e por doações de particulares foi estudada por meio da leitura das atas das sessões da Loja Maçônica que nos permitiram apreender as discussões engendradas dentro da Loja acerca do cotidiano escolar.

Freemasonry is a closed social system, comprised of free men, morality, which are started in order regardless of colour, creed and nationality. The art of Free Masons (Freemasons), relates mystically the construction of the Temple of Jerusalem, where the symbols and rituals relate to the art of building, called real art. The present study objective was to analyze the Masonic symbology and its manifestations of order sociological, philosophical and scientific. Used ethnography as methodology, which consisted in collecting right and thorough of certain symbols and language changes that speaks to him who starts, Objectifying the description of the phenomena observed in "Free Masons" and Masonic Knights of Solomon, situated in the city of João Pessoa-PB, affiliated to the Grand Orient of Paraíba. The questions were formulated with participants and compiled on the basis of a rational reflection of symbols and languages. We found that there is an Operative Masonry in Franco-contemporary Freemasonry, fuelled by symbols originating transcendental, which lay down the secrets of initiation, which in turn are linked to certain objects. Possessing a unique profile, a scientific basis which emerges from a secular thought, love and truth are focal points, followed by good and beauty, and that was created from sedimentations of knowledge that past centuries and relies on the transcendentalidade of creation.
A Maçonaria é um sistema social fechado, composta por homens livres, de bons costumes, que são iniciados na ordem não importando a sua cor, credo e nacionalidade. A arte dos pedreiros livres (maçons), se relaciona misticamente à construção do templo de Jerusalém, onde os símbolos e rituais se referem à arte de construir, chamada arte real. O presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar a simbologia maçônica e suas manifestações de ordem sociológica, filosófica e cientifica. Utilizou-se como metodologia a etnografia, que consistiu na coleta direita e minuciosa de determinados símbolos e uma linguagem muda que fala àquele que é iniciado, objetivando a descrição dos fenômenos observados nos Pedreiros Livres e na Loja Maçônica Cavaleiros de Salomão, situada na cidade de João Pessoa-PB, filiada ao Grande oriente da Paraíba. As questões foram formuladas com os participantes e elaboradas com base em uma reflexão racional desses símbolos e linguagens. Concluímos que existe uma Maçonaria Operativa na Franco-Maçonaria contemporânea, alimentada por símbolos, com origem transcendental, que estabelecem os segredos da iniciação, que por sua vez estão ligados a determinados objetos. Possuindo, assim, um perfil exclusivo, uma base cientifica que emerge de um pensamento laico, nela o amor e a verdade são pontos focais, seguidos do bem e da beleza e que foi criada a partir de sedimentações de conhecimentos que ultrapassaram séculos e se apóia na transcendentalidade da criação.

Full textAbstract:
Esta tese tem como objetivo identificar as marcas da Maçonaria no campo educacional brasileiro, no período entre o final do século XIX e início do século XX, até 1930, bem como analisar o conceito maçônico de Ilustração, aplicado ao campo da educação, em contraposição à proposta pedagógica da Igreja Católica. Por meio de estudo da literatura nacional e internacional relativa ao tema, e de manuscritos e fontes impressas da Maçonaria, a saber, leitura das atas das sessões das Lojas Maçônicas e documentos oficiais de divulgação interna emitidos ao longo do período em questão, procedeu-se uma narrativa seqüencial das ações desenvolvidas pelos membros desta instituição, concernentes ao projeto de instaurar uma educação republicana, laica, mista e voltada para o trabalho. Os dados foram compilados e comparados demonstrando a contribuição dada por esta instituição na estruturação da rede escolar republicana do país. A partir da clarificação da trilha das ideias conformadoras do pensamento maçônico pelo mundo, até sua chegada ao Brasil, da análise das biografias de maçons dedicados ao campo educacional nacional, e, fundamentalmente, da descoberta e mapeamento de centenas de escolas criadas e administradas pela maçonaria no período da primeira república, se pode mensurar a atuação da Maçonaria na Educação. Portanto, a tese conclui que estas marcas maçônicas perduram até a contemporaneidade no sistema educacional brasileiro. Assim, espera-se que esta tese tenha contribuído para uma releitura historiográfica das relações entre Educação, Escola, Estado e Sociedade a partir da identificação das possíveis marcas legadas pela Maçonaria no campo da Educação no Brasil.This thesis aims to identify the marks of Freemasonry in the Brazilian educational field, in the period between the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, until 1930, as well as analysing the Masonic concept of Enlightenment, applied to the field of education, as opposed to Catholic Church` pedagogical proposal. Through the study of national and international literature on the subject, and of manuscript and printed sources of Freemasonry, namely readings of the masonic lodges` sessions records and official documents of internal disclosure issued during the period in question, held up a narrative sequence of actions developed by the members of this institution, concerning the project of establishing an education republican, secular, mixed and directed to work. The data were compiled and compared demonstrating the contribution made by this institution in structuring the republican school network in the country. Based on the clarification of track of ideas conformator of masonic thought in the world, until their arrival in Brazil, analysing the biographies of masons dedicated to national educational field, and, fundamentally, the discovery and mapping of hundreds of schools created and managed by Freemasonry during the period of the first republic, the presence of the Freemasonry on education can be marked. Therefore, the thesis concludes that these marks masonic persist until the present educational system in Brazil. Thus, it is expected that this thesis has contributed to a historiographical re-reading of relations between Education, School, State and Society, from the identification of possible marks bequeathed by Freemasonry in the field of Education.

Chronologically I have described the different environments that I have been exposed to in the past five years and how my interactions with the different locations have affected my work. I started writing about what I was doing a year after finishing my undergraduate degree, when I started to feel as though I needed to re-invent my work in a way that also meant trying to see the process of creating art differently. I didn't know yet how this new work would begin to generate, or what would inspire it, but I knew that I was seeking a studio practice that would be personal enough to sustain a lifetime of exploration. In the end I found the inspiration had always been all around me.

Full textAbstract:
L’architecture des temples maçonniques constitue un patrimoine vivant, mais peu étudié, notamment dans le cadre de la recherche universitaire. Elle présente pourtant un double intérêt. En tant qu’objet d’étude, tout d’abord, elle offre des caractéristiques formelles, spatiales et stylistiques suffisamment marquantes pour qu’on puisse souhaiter en faire la description, en cherchant à la fois à en définir les limites et les invariants, et aussi à en cerner les différentes variations au travers de tropismes liés à l’histoire, la géographie ou la culture dans laquelle elle se développe. Cette architecture présente également un intérêt en tant que sujet de recherche : elle est strictement dictée par des rituels précis qui en définissent à la fois la forme, l’organisation et l’usage. De ce point de vue, cette étude permet tout d’abord de revisiter les notions de type et de modèle, telles qu’elles avaient été définies dans le cadre de l’analyse typo-morphologique développée par la critique italienne dans les années 1970. Elle permet ensuite d’établir un lien entre l’usage, ici codifié par le rituel, et la forme architecturale, et de proposer l’esquisse d’une théorie de la concrétion, dans laquelle la forme de l’espace architectural serait comprise comme le résultat d’une pratique ritualisée de l’espace. La thèse se développe en trois parties. La première partie, qui s’ouvre sur un état de l’art, est consacrée à l’approche méthodologique et aux développements de la recherche, grâce notamment aux moyens liés aux technologies numériques et à l’informatique, qui ont permis l’élaboration du corpus de la recherche. La seconde partie est consacrée à l’analyse de ce corpus, qui s’appuie sur la dimension sociale, symbolique et architecturale du temple maçonnique. Enfin, la troisième partie propose un extrait du catalogue raisonné du corpus. Cet extrait recouvre l’Europe et l’Amérique du NordThe architecture of the Masonic temples is a living heritage, but little studied, particularly in the context of academic research. Yet it has two advantages. As an object of study, first of all, it offers formal, spatial and sufficiently significant stylistic characteristics that we may wish to describe, seeking both to define the limits and invariants and also to identify different variations across tropisms related to history, geography or the culture in which it develops. This architecture offers also an interest as a subject of research: it is strictlydictated by specific rituals that define both form, organization and use. From this perspective, this study provides first revisit the concepts of type and model, as they were defined within the framework of the typo-morphological analysis developed by the Italian criticism in the 1970s. It establishes also a link between the use, here codifiedrituals, and architectural form, and suggest the outlines of a theory of concretion, within the form of architectural spaces would be understood as the result of ritualized practices of space. The thesis is developed in three parts. The first part, which opens a state ofknowledge, is devoted to the methodological approach and research developments, thanks to the means of digital technology and computers, which enabled the developmentof the corpus of research. The second part is devoted to the analysis of this corpus, based on the social, architectural and symbolic aspects of the Masonic Temple. The third part provides an extract of the of the corpus. This excerpt covers Europe and North America

The objective of this Dissertation is to analyze Brazilian anticlericalism in the newspaper A Lanterna (1901-1935). We understand that this newspaper was the main representative of the anti-clerical movement and it was widely publicized throughout Brazil in the 20th century. This only occurred mainly due to anticlerical leagues, Masonic strongholds, Kardecist spiritists and anarchists. Brazilian anticlericalism presented specific characteristics differentiated, for example, from French anticlericalism. We started with the hypothesis that Brazilian anticlericalism in the newspaper A Lanterna was much more religious than political, because through the analysis of the discourse contained in the newspaper we were able to identify elements of attack on clerics of a moral and dogmatic order. In addition, the social space was a field of contention for other religions in the context of the transition from monarchy to the Brazilian Republic. The process of laicization that began in the Constitution of 1891 and boosted the anticlerical Brazilian movement. We can observe that until the mid-1930s the religious clash was intense, characterized by various forms of contestation of the influence of the Catholic Church in the Brazilian public space
O objetivo desta Dissertação é analisar o anticlericalismo brasileiro no jornal A Lanterna (1901-1935). Entendemos que este jornal foi o principal representante do movimento anticlerical e teve larga divulgação por todo o Brasil no século XX. Isto somente ocorreu devido principalmente às ligas anticlericais, redutos de maçons, espiritas kardecistas e anarquistas. O anticlericalismo brasileiro apresentou características especificas diferenciado, por exemplo, do anticlericalismo francês. Partimos da hipótese de que o anticlericalismo Brasileiro no jornal A Lanterna, foi muito mais de cunho religioso do que político, pois através da análise do discurso contido no jornal conseguimos identificar elementos de ataque aos clérigos de ordem moral e dogmática. Além disso, o espaço social foi campo de disputa por outras religiões no contexto de transição da monarquia para a Republica Brasileira. O processo de laicização que se iniciou na Constituição de 1891 e impulsionou o movimento anticlerical Brasileiro. Podemos observar que até meados da década de 30 o embate religioso era intenso, caracterizado por diversas formas de contestação da influência da Igreja Católica no espaço público brasileiro

Depuis des siècles, le destin de la Russie est étroitement lié aux voisins et terres musulmanes, identifiés par les Russes comme l’Orient musulman. La littérature russe en témoigne. Pour voir la représentation de cet Orient musulman, de la figure du musulman et de divers types d’islam dans les ouvrages des hommes de lettres russes, nous avons donc dans la première partie de notre recherche vu la naissance, au début du XVIIIe siècle, de la littérature russe et la construction de l’image de l’Orient musulman. Nous avons ensuite, dans la deuxième partie de notre travail, tenté de suivre le développement de l’image du personnage du musulman au XIXe siècle qui se distingue par l’avancement de l’Empire russe au Caucase et en Asie centraleGeographically, Russia borders on the Muslim lands. These regions, with the various Muslim populations, were identified by the Russians, as the Muslim Orient and played an important role for Russia. The Russian literature is the witness. In order to analyze the representation of this Muslim Orient, the image of the Muslim and the various types of Islam in the works of Russian writers, we examined, in the first part of our study, at the beginning of the eighteenth century, the birth of Russian literature and the construction of the image of the Muslim Orient. In the second part of our study, we have tried to follow the development of the image of the Muslim Orient in the nineteenth century which is marked by the conquest of Russian Empire of the Caucasus and Central Asia

Full textAbstract:
Au carrefour entre sociologies de la connaissance, de l’éducation et politique, cette thèse étudie certaines pratiques sociales de travail collectif par la prise de parole, que l’ on qualifie de démocratiques, et dont la Franc-maçonnerie est un terrain pris à titre d’exemple. Historiquement élitiste dans son recrutement, celle-ci a connu lors du siècle dernier une forte démocratisation. Il en résulte aujourd’hui une population socialement très hétérogène. Abordant la maçonnerie en tant que dispositif pédagogique tacite, ce travail se propose d’étudier les processus sociologiques en œuvre dans l’appropriation sociale d’un travail basé sur l’abstraction et la tranférabilité de relations symboliques. L’analyse de matériaux (entretiens, productions écrites réalisées par les Franc-maçons, textes officiels) permet de mettre en lumière certaines caractéristiques de cet apprentissage : élection, déprofanation et amélioration, construites à travers la cumulativité du travail collectif et la possibilité de sa révision. L’enjeu de ce sujet dépasse de ce fait la question des loges maçonniques. A travers une approche de cette pédagogie tacite, on cherche à éclairer les enjeux de l’apprentissage en termes de production et reproduction des savoirs, autour de la question fondamentale du droit à l’amélioration dans les structures pédagogiques et de l’élaboration d’une normativité collectiveAt the crossroad between sociology of knowledge, sociology of education and political sociology, this thesis examines certain social practices of collective work by public speaking of members, described as democratic. In this study, Freemasonry constitutes a revealing field of research. Historically characterised by a very elitist recruitment mode, Freemasonry has gone through a process of democratisation during the last century. As a result, Freemasonry shows much more social heterogeneity then before.. Considering Freemasonry as tacit pedagogic device, this research examines the sociological processes at work in the social appropriation of a practice based on abstraction and transferability of symbolic relations. The data analysis (interviews, written productions of masons, official texts) allows highlighting some specificities of this apprenticeship: election, déprofanation and improvement, which are built through the cumulativity of collective work and the possibility of revision. As a matter of fact, the interest of this study goes far beyond the Masonic lodges themselves. Using the concept of a tacit pedagogy, what is at stake is apprenticeship as production and reproduction of knowledge, including the fundamental issues of the right to improve within pedagogic structures and the elaboration of a collective normativity

Full textAbstract:
This thesis in the History of Education studies the pedagogization of Swedish society from 1812–1828. These ambitions were promoted by state officials and educational innovators who were tightly knit through social networks. The research questions are: Why did these individuals organize themselves the way they did in the field of education? Which practices of external communication and interaction within associations existed? Which impact did these practices of external communication and internal interaction have on the educational debate? Civic formation is analyzed through the activity or practices identified in the diffusion of useful knowledge, self-education, schools, and educational policies. Arguments for civic formation, educational imperatives, are reflected in new words and new schools. The imperatives are in part an outcome of social networking studied through affiliations to associations, newspapers and governing boards. Hence, a great number of affiliations have been organized in a new and advanced web-based application. Papers and associations were important to in dissolving feudal society, and as key ingredients for the emancipation of the middle class, they gradually gained more influence upon society. The educational reformers’ involvement in papers and societies were important for them coining new Swedish words with educational importance: it was an external communicative practice. Involvement in associations is somewhat more internal and has been studied as leading to social interaction. This interaction is studied as social capital through social network analysis. This revealed focal points on the individual level which made a significant contribution to the educational debate. These were social networks sustained by the spirit of Enlightenment and emancipation. What has long been unrecognized in the History of Education is presented as important features in this thesis through the analysis of social networks.

Full textAbstract:
Andrew Michael Ramsay fut un intellectuel écossais du Siècle des Lumières, à la fois "aventurier religieux", auteur politique et franc-maçon. Élevé dans le protestantisme, il rechercha un équilibre spirituel et une doctrine plus conformes à ses vœux. Il voyagea dans de nombreux pays pour atteindre ce but et finalement trouva auprès de Fénelon, archevêque de Cambrai, et de Madame Guyon, adepte du "Pur Amour", un père et une mère spirituels. Sous leur influence, il finit par adhérer à un catholicisme de nature gallicane caractérisé par un appel constant à l’intériorité. De son œuvre, émergent quatre traités : l’Essai sur le gouvernement civil(1721) dans lequel il démontre que la meilleure forme de gouvernement est la monarchie absolue, héréditaire, de droit divin. Fervent jacobite, il espérait le retour de la dynastie Stuart sur le trône d’Angleterre. L’Histoire de la vie de Fénelon (1727) traite principalement des péripéties de sa conversion par le prélat; Les Voyages de Cyrus (1727), roman didactique, apologétique et politique, raconte la formation d’un jeune prince accompli, rempli de sagesse et de piété. Son ouvrage central, Les principes philosophiques de la religion naturelle et révélée (1749), communément appelé le "Great Work" ne parut qu’après sa mort. Le franc-maçon perçait alors sous le philosophe. Son Discours (1737) fait remonter les origines de l’Ordre aux croisades et, surtout, fixe les obligations auxquelles est soumis tout franc-maçon, qui lui sont rappelées au moment de son initiation. Cet homme, complexe, mystique et politique réussit l’exploit de faire changer radicalement cette organisation très attachée à ses traditions qu’est la Franc-maçonnerieAndrew Michael Ramsay was a Scottish intellectual of the Enlightenment and was at the same time a "religious adventurer", a political author and a freemason. Born into a Protestant family, he undertook a search for spiritual stability and for a doctrine more in line with his aspirations. In this quest, he journeyed through several countries, and he eventually found in the company of Fénelon, archbishop of Cambrai, and of Madame Guyon, an advocate of the doctrine of "Pure Love", a spiritual father and mother. Inspired by them, he finally converted to a Gallican variety of Catholicism which was at the root of his call to a life of constant soul-searching. From his work four treatises emerge: An Essay upon Civil Government (1721), in which he sought to show that the best form of government is an absolute, hereditary monarchy, based on divine right. As a zealous Jacobite, he longed for the return of the Stuarts to the British throne. The Life of Fénelon (1727) deals mainly with the various stages leading up to his conversion by the prelate. The Travel of Cyrus (1727) is a didactic, apologetic and political novel which relates the education of a young accomplished prince endowed with wisdom and piety. His most considerable work is The Philosophical Principles of Natural and Revealed Religion (1749), commonly called the "Great Work", which was published posthumously. Here the freemason can be seen beneath the philosopher. His Discourse (1737) traces the origins of Freemasonry back to the crusades, and also sets out the obligations that every freemason must adhere to and which he is reminded of during his initiation. His success in radically changing this organization so deeply attached to its customs remains the lasting legacy of this complex, mystical and political figure who is Andrew Michael Ramsay

Full textAbstract:
Travaillant depuis des années sur Victor GELU, notamment en mastère, à l’Université Paul-Valéry de MONTPELLIER, sachant qu’un travail de transcription des Correspondances de l’écrivain marseillais démarrait, j’ai choisi de combler le vide que représentait l’absence d’une transcription suivie des Notes biographiques de Victor GELU. En effet, n’en était disponible qu’un recueil de morceaux choisis arbitrairement, inutilisable pour la recherche. J’ai transcrit à peu près la moitié des Notes, 1806-1841, m’autorisant à poursuivre la suite 1841-1857 en 2010-2011. Au fur et à mesure de ma transcription un problème émergeait, l’apparition d’une image de Victor GELU différente de celle qu’avait pu me fournir mon travail de mastère (avec l’analyse systématique des thématiques dans l’oeuvre de Victor GELU, MONTPELLIER 2004). Cette image ne correspondait pas non plus à celle fournie par un autre travail en train de s’effectuer à l’Université Paul-Valéry (Victor GELU transcription des correspondances, thèse Odile DELMAS). La problématique de ma recherche s’est donc imposée : quelle image de lui bâtit Victor GELU, en 1857-58, dans les Notes biographiques, ouvrage destiné à parution. Sachant que Victor GELU sort juste de démêlés avec la censure pour la deuxième édition de ses Chansons (1856) et que 1857 est l’année des procès de Madame Bovary, des Fleurs du Mal, des Mystères du Peuple, dans quelle mesure l’image forgée de lui, en 1857, par les Notes biographiques correspond-elle à la réalité ?This thesis deals with Victor Gelu's Bibliographical Notes (1806-1857)

Full textAbstract:
Les motivations de cette organisation ont toujours intrigué, voire dérangé, de nombreux observateurs extérieurs, pour des raisons qui allaient de pair avec l’époque : les questions religieuses ont toujours occupé une place prépondérante, au XVIIIe siècle comme de nos jours, bien que le débat se soit déplacé quelque peu. Une certaine incompréhension demeure toujours, alimentée par les francs-maçons eux-mêmes et la nature même de la fraternité, à savoir son aspect secret, ou du moins discret. Une constante qui est partagée à travers les siècles et les pays, et que les francs-maçons de toutes les grandes loges tentent de contrer, niant l’accusation selon laquelle la Franc-maçonnerie serait une « société secrète », admettant seulement le fait qu’elle est une société « avec des secrets ». La distinction étant ténue, elle est souvent perdue aux yeux des « profanes », c'est-à-dire des non-initiés, qui bien souvent portent un regard si ce n’est négatif, du moins prudent, sur cette association qui tait volontairement une partie de ses rites au public. On ne peut discuter de la nature secrète de la Franc-maçonnerie sans évoquer la contrepartie négative qu’elle soulève, à savoir « l’anti-maçonnisme » et la théorie du complot, apparu dès la fin du XVIIIe siècle, et régulièrement « ressuscité ». Nous étudierons plusieurs affaires soulignant ces accusations conspirationnistes, dont les médias, notamment durant la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle, se sont fait le relai. Cette étude abordera plusieurs grandes thématiques liées au secret : la place des femmes, la religion, la presse et les médias, la police et la justice, les enjeux de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale etcThe goals of this fraternity have always intrigued, nay disturbed, many outsiders, for reasons which were linked to the historical context of the time : religious questions have always been in the forefront of the debate on freemasonry, from the XVIIIth century until the present day, although the debate has somehow slightly shifted. However, a feeling of uncertainty remains, fuelled by the masons themselves and the very nature of the fraternity, that is to say its secret aspect, or if not secret, at least very discreet. This trend is shared between all countries and across the centuries, but is a notion the masons of every Grand Lodge try to refute, arguing that, contrary to common belief, freemasonry is not a “secret society” but a “society with secrets”. The distinction is quite slim and is often lost on the profanes, those who are not initiated, who therefore often have a negative view, or are, to say the least, wary of this organization which keeps its secrets well hidden. One cannot discuss the secret nature of freemasonry without broaching on the corollary aspect it inevitably raises, that is to say anti-masonry and conspiracy theory, which appeared as early as the XVIIIth century, and regularly rise up to the surface. We shall study different cases underlining this conspiracy theory, related by the media, especially in the second half of the XXth century. This thesis will broach several themes related to the notion of secrecy : the position of women, religion, the press and the media in general, the stakes of World War II etc
