Full textIn the aftermath of the Great Revolution, France witnesses, during the Nineteenth Century, and apart from continuous political turmoils, the development of scientific progress, social ideologies, and new phases in the progressive evolution of the age-old strife between faith and reason. It is during this eventful period that Father Paul François Gaspard Lacuria (1806-1890) elaborates his main work : Les Harmonies de l’être, with the declared intention of bridging the gap between science and faith. Basing himself on the trinitarian doctrine of Roman Catholicism as well as on deep-reaching geometrical and mathematical analogies, Father Lacuria seeks an harmonious philosophical synthesis capable of establishing a universal knowledge, ultimately reducible to the “Great Unity”. The conspicuous lack of an academic monograph devoted to such an important mystical figure, whose work borders sometimes on occultism, has given birth to the present research, which attempts to retrace the French metaphysician’s biography and to give a detailed analysis of his works and of their posthumous fate

Full textThis thesis focus on the relationship, among the ancient Tupi of the brazilian coast, between prophetic movements and the political domain. In so doing, it returns to some classic discussions that play an important part in anthropology\'s history, as those which were carried by Pierre and Hélène Clastres; the fi rst one hardly engaged on the foundation of a political anthropology. Comparing data of past societies with recent ethnographies of contemporary indigenous peoples, this thesis proposes a refl ection on Amerindian political agency, stressing the ways people and groups, leaders and sociopolitical units, can be made (and thus be extended), as well as regarding the mechanisms that offer resistance to the stabilization of these people and groups, which could result in a fixed asymmetry.

Full textThis work deals with the influence of the Old Testament prophetism on the actions and words of Jesus, as he is presented by the synoptic Gospels. The present research intends to demonstrate that in the presentation of the life and teaching of Jesus portrayed by the synoptics, the Nazarene partially breaks with most of the religious movements of his time and reclaims ancient prophetic traditions available to him in the TaNaK. Initially, a bibliographical research shall undertake a biblicotheological revision, aiming at understanding Israelite prophetism as presented in the Hebrew Bible. Then, a bibliographical and exegetical study will be done in the principal synoptic texts which present Jesus‟ prophetic praxis. The investigation shall focus on the image of Jesus as seen in the synoptic gospels, in their canonical form. In the final stage, the data of both researches will be analyzed and compared with each other. The common points observed between Old Testament prophetism and Jesus‟ praxis shall be carefully analyzed, in order to establish possible influences. The research‟s final report is made up of three parts: First, according to the synoptic presentation, it becomes clear that Jesus saw himself as a prophet of God, an impression shared by those who knew him; second, so as to understand better this influence, a further investigation of Israelite prophetism is done, as this tradition is presented in the Hebrew Bible; third, an investigation is undertaken of both the deeds and the preaching of Jesus, identifying possible influences that Old Testament prophetism might have exerted upon his actions and words. Finally, this work deals with the implications of prophetic influence on the praxis represented by Jesus.
Este trabalho se propõe a abordar a influência do profetismo veterotestamentário nas ações e palavras de Jesus, conforme a apresentação feita dele nos Evangelhos Sinóticos. A pesquisa pretende demonstrar que na apresentação da vida e ensinos de Jesus feita pelos sinóticos, o Nazareno rompe parcialmente com os principais movimentos religiosos de seu tempo e retoma antigas tradições proféticas, as quais lhe estavam disponíveis na TaNaK. O trabalho consistirá, inicialmente, de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, através da qual se fará um estudo bíblico-teológico, visando compreender o profetismo israelita conforme se apresenta na Bíblia Hebraica. Em seguida, será feito um levantamento bibliográfico e exegético nos principais textos Sinóticos que expressam a práxis profética de Jesus. A presente investigação focalizará a imagem de Jesus apresentada nos Evangelhos Sinóticos, em sua forma canônica. Na etapa final, os dados de ambas as pesquisas serão analisados e comparados. Os pontos comuns observados entre o profetismo veterotestamentário e a práxis de Jesus serão cuidadosamente analisados, a fim de se estabelecer possíveis influências. O relatório final da pesquisa compõe-se de três partes: Primeiramente, demonstra-se que, de acordo com a apresentação sinótica, tanto Jesus quanto aqueles que o conheceram, viram-no primeiramente como profeta de Deus; em seguida, a fim de se compreender melhor esta influência, procede-se com a investigação do profetismo israelita, conforme ele se apresenta na Bíblia Hebraica; por último, investiga-se tanto a atuação quanto a pregação de Jesus, identificando possíveis influências que o profetismo veterotestamentário possa ter exercido sobre suas ações e palavras. Finalizando, o trabalho aborda as implicações que a influência profética na práxis de Jesus representa.

This master dissertation in Literature and Religion in the Biblical World has the objective of making a exegetical and hermeneutical comment of a text which has been recognized as a prophetic one, and its relationship to the theological, anthropological and literary with the Israeli sapiential universe in post-exilic period. It is about the study of Micah 6,1-8, whose focus of investigation has developed from the discourse analysis and the hypothetical confluence of literary genres, namely, the prophetic and sapiential. Considered under formal aspects, contextual and of theological anthropology content, the studied text is the result of the composition of several literary genres and manifests, internally conflicting theologies ranging from the interpretation of the history of Israel to the religious practice with their conceptions of God. Micah 6,1-8, played here from modern exegetical methodologies and contextual and anthropological approaches configured as a true synthesis of non-hegemonic deuteronomist interpretation of events of Exodus and the message of biblical prophets of the eighth century BC Micah, Amos, Hosea and Isaiah. We are before a text that presents itself at the same time, cohesive and carrying different universes and voices in his composition. His discourse, whose content born of the conflict between projects and groups in the post-exilic period, redeems old memories of an exodus that goes through marginal subjects and reinterprets the prophetic critique in his role as an ethical and theological insight, however, in the sapiential format. For the socio theological depth and by the no sacrificial proposal of his discourse, Micah 6,1-8 has been a continually revisited text inside the Theology of Liberation in Latin America, inspiring much of his production.
A presente dissertação de mestrado em Literatura e Religião no Mundo Bíblico tem por objetivo realizar um comentário exegético e hermenêutico de um texto reconhecido como profético e sua relação no plano teológico, antropológico e literário com o universo sapiencial israelita no período pós-exílico. Trata-se do estudo de Miquéias 6,1-8, cujo foco de investigação desenvolveu-se a partir da análise do discurso e da hipótese de confluência de gêneros literários, a saber, o profético e o sapiencial. Considerado sob os aspectos formais, contextuais e de conteúdo antropo teológico, o texto estudado apresenta-se como resultado da composição de diversos gêneros literários e manifesta, internamente, conflitos de teologias que vão desde a interpretação da própria história de Israel até a prática religiosa com suas concepções de Deus. Miquéias 6,1-8, interpretado aqui a partir de metodologias exegéticas modernas e abordagens contextuais e antropológicas, configura-se como uma verdadeira síntese de interpretação deuteronomista não hegemônica dos eventos do êxodo e da mensagem dos profetas bíblicos do século VIII aeC Miquéias, Amós, Oséias e Isaías. Estamos diante de um texto que se apresenta, ao mesmo tempo, coeso e portador de diferentes universos e vozes em sua composição. Seu discurso, cujo teor nasce do conflito entre projetos e grupos no período pós-exílico, resgata memórias antigas de um êxodo que passa por sujeitos marginais e reinterpreta a crítica profética em sua função de discernimento ético e teológico, porém, no formato sapiencial. Pela profundidade sócio teológica e pela proposta não sacrificial de seu discurso, Miquéias 6,1-8 tem sido um texto continuamente revisitado no interior da Teologia da Libertação na América Latina, inspirando boa parte de sua produção.

Full textThis thesis deals with the history of a group of convulsionnary Jeansenists of the end of the eighteenth century. This sectarian group forms in the village of Fareins (in the area which will later become the département of Ain) in the 1870's, around the priest François Bonjour, who crucified a prophetess of his "sect" in 1787 and went on trial under the Revolution. Eventually released, François Bonjour set himself in Paris, where a convulsionary Jeansenist prophetess, called “sister Élisée", started a preaching which would go on until 1805 (the year of the arresting of François Bonjour and his circle). The history of this convultionary sect has already been studied by several historians, but our approch distinguishes itself by a deliberate anthropological and sociological point of view. When dealing with the local events in Fareins, we deemed relevant to do an ethnographic study of the villager’s struggles as well as an anthropological analysis of rural prophetism and of devilish possession. The radicalization of the Fareinists which followed the French Revolution allows us to take up the problem of revolutionary millenarianism. The imposing corpus of the prophecies and “visions” of sister Élisée is then analyzed under several lines. First, the prophetess’ speeches are a weapon she uses in the struggles for power against her opponents. Secondly, we reconstructed the « culture » of this group (in the anthropological sense of the concept) and showed how the biblical esotericism specific to this environment works. Eventually, the spectacular transes of sister Élisée were studied in the light of the anthropological works on the facts of possession

Por volta do ano de 1580, jesuítas, autoridades régias, colonos e mais tarde agentes inquisitoriais presenciaram um fenômeno bastante curioso que, para a percepção religiosa ocidental e a ortodoxia católica, causou profundo desassossego e estarrecimento. Conhecida como Santidade de Jaguaripe, o movimento religioso e “sincrético” que despontou no sertão do Orobó, e depois se fixou em Jaguaripe no Recôncavo da Bahia e dali se espalhou também para outras regiões, abalou a colonização em suas duas linhas de frente, evangelização e exploração. Partindo do contexto em que a Santidade foi gestada, o presente trabalho objetiva analisar entre os anos de 1580 a 1595 os processos de propagação e adesão a partir da experiência histórica dos sujeitos que participaram dos rituais, aderiram, creram e propagaram a “seita indígena”, e por isso tiveram que comparecer à mesa do visitador Heitor Furtado de Mendonça, entre 1591 e 1595. As denúncias, confissões e processos produzidos pela Primeira Visitação às partes da Bahia nos dizem muito sobre as heresias que foram praticadas por esses indivíduos; dizem também da maneira pela qual a Inquisição avaliou seus crimes e seus penitentes e como lidou com as práticas gentílicas em um universo tão paradoxal como era a colônia portuguesa. Mas esse arcabouço documental, se lido com o devido cuidado e teor hermenêutico, pode indicar-nos as formas de reelaboração e resistência que os povos indígenas construíram a partir da exploração colonial e da catequização cristã, sendo a Santidade de Jaguaripe não apenas um símbolo da heresia nos trópicos, mas, sobretudo demonstração do agenciamento indígena que, atrelando o político ao religioso, conseguiu impor limites à colonização cristã. Por isso não nos atemos apenas aos significados, aos símbolos e ritos presentes no nosso objeto de análise, mas também ao contexto, às políticas indígenas, às contradições e conflitos que compõem as relações sociais e étnicas especialmente no momento de emergência da Santidade de Jaguaripe, momento no qual diferentes formas culturais, sociais e econômicas entravam em choque com o processo de colonização portuguesa.

Full textThe Vade mecum in tribulatione, written in 1356 by the minor friar John of Rupescissa, is a short text, oriented in a prophetical-apocalyptical direction with the aim to lead the Christians across an imminent persecution, expected before the year 1370. The Latin tradition comprehends forty manuscripts, divided in three groups: the integral version of the Vade mecum; the epitome version; other kinds of summary and abstract of the text. The ratio editionis explains the characteristics of each family and the structure of the stemma codicum. The integral version and the epitome are separately edited, while the other summaries are partially or integrally transcribed, according to their originality. The introductory study, that precedes the edition, faces these arguments: the use of the prophetic sources and the comparison with the spiritual Franciscan tradition and the “papal prophecies”; the structure and the finalization of an historical hermeneutic; the evolution of the genre of “political prophecy”.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The issue of the identification of the audience/s of the final chapter (chapter 9) in the book of Amos is currently moot. That is, there currently are as many opinions as there are scholars who have in some form or the other made some inference as to the identification of the audience. The same is true for the preceding chapters in the book. The reasons for the divergence in opinions as to the identification of the audience varies from the methods chosen for engaging the text to reasons that are not always easy to identify. Yet the opinions are often freel y shared in the monographs, commentaries, dissertations and scholarly journal articles. This dissertation aims to follow an approach that is more interpretatively accountable and responsible in dealing with the identification of the audience/s of Amos and in particular chapter 9. This goal is best achieved by interacting with the scholars as they have recorded their findings in the various scholarly publications while engaging the text with a suitable method. The method chosen by this study for achieving the intended purpose is the multidimensional approach of Vernon Robbins, termed socio-rhetorical criticism. This approach aids in the study of the text by uncovering the various "textures" of the text. These textures are identified by Robbins as innertexture, intertexture, social and cultural texture, ideological texture and sacred texture. As socio-rhetorical criticism does not overtly take into account the influence of the reader in the production of the meaning of the text and how this influences interpretative results, it would be necessary to investigate how to incorporate the influence of reader-response methodology to make the results more responsible and accountable. The majority of scholarly opinion sees at least three possible audiences identifiable within the book of Amos. These audiences are identified as eighth, seventh and sixth century in setting. Yet the reasons for such identification is often not clear and greatly debated. Differences in opinion have often resulted in religious questions being raised regarding the authority and intention of the text should these various audience identifications be accurate. This study seeks to understand and identify the main influences that determines the conclusions on various audience identification and present an approach that would be more suitable to answer the question more clearly. The particular influence that this study demonstrates is the reinvention of texts by identifying the layers of reinterpretation contained in the text by identifying its implied audience/so It is this identification that allows the text to be applied to current readers as they identify with the process of reinvention and ethically accountable interpretation.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Daar bestaan op die oomblik geen finale beslissing aangaande die identiteit van die toehoorders van die finale hoofstuk van die boek van Amos nie Met ander woorde, daar is op die oomblik so veel opinies as wat daar kenners is wie op een of ander manier gevolgtrekkings aangaande die identiteit van die toehoorders van die boek gemaak het. Redes aangaande die verskillende opinies om die identiteit van toehoorders vas te stel wissel van die metodes gekies om die teks te bestudeer tot redes wat rue al te maklik is om te identifiseer nie. Maar gevolgtrekkings word openbaarlik in monografiee, kommentare, proefskrifte en akademiese artikels aangaande die boek gepubliseer. Hierdie proefskrif stel as doel om 'n metode van studie te volg wat meer verantwoordelik en verantwoordbaar is ten opsigte van die identifikasie van die lesers van die boek Amos en in besonder aangaande hoofstuk 9. Hierdie doel sal ten beste bereik word deur saam met die kenners te debateer soos hulle opinies vasgele is in publikasies en terwyl die teks bestudeer word. Die metode wat hierdie studie gaan gebruik, is die multidimensionele benadering van Vernon Robbins, sosio-retoriese kritiek. Hierdie metode benader die teks deur die verskillende teksture van die teks te ontbloot. Hierdie teksture is deur Robbins verduidelik as intertekstuur, intratekstuur, sosiale en kulturele tekstuur, ideologiese tekstuur en teologiese tekstuur. Omdat sosiale-retoriese kritiek nie duidelik die invloed van die leser in ag neem wanneer dit die produksie van die bedoeling van die teks betrek, sal dit vir hierdie studie nodig wees om hierdie invloed deur leser-respons kritiek te benader. Die doel hiermee sal wees om die resultate van die studie meer eties verantwoordbaar en verantwoordelik te maak. Die meeste kenners bevestig ten minste drie toehoorders in die boek van Amos. Hierdie toehoorders word geidentifiseer in agtergrond as agste, sewende en sesde eeu. Maar soos alreeds gestel, die redes vir hierdie identifikasie is altyd nie duidelik nie. Verskille in opinies het soms daartoe gely dat teologiese vrae aangaande die outoriteit en doel van die teks gevra is sou die identifikasie van verskillende toehoorders waar wees. Hierdie studie stel ten doel om die verskillende aspekte wat die gevolgtrekkinge beinvloed aangaande die identifikasie van toehoorders te identifiseer en 'n benadering te volg wat meer geskik is om die vraag beter te kan beantwoord. Hierdie studie demonstreer dus dat die interpretasie van die teks deur die verskillende lesers bepaal kan word deur die teks te bestudeer vanuit die oogpunt van die verskillende interpretasie binne die teks. Dit is hierdie identifikasie wat die toepassing van die teks moontlik maak vir huidige lesers soos hulle identifiseer met die proses van die herinterpretasie en etiese verantwoordelike interpretasie van die teks.
