Walsh, Sean Noah. "Ritual, Myth, and Symbol in the Field of Nuclear Posturing". Master's thesis, University of Central Florida, 2005. http://digital.library.ucf.edu/cdm/ref/collection/ETD/id/4348.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Since their inception, the actual use of nuclear weapons in conflict is extremely limited. There have been only two documented occurrences which were committed exclusively by the United States. By contrast, however, state posturing with nuclear weapons occurs with regularity transcending historical situations, national wealth, military power, or even the actual possession of nuclear weapons. Rationalist arguments that depict nuclear posturing as a means of deterrence appear insufficient given its tendency to unbalance perceptions of equilibrium, and the public nature in which it occurs. Instead, I examine nuclear posturing by the United States during the Cold War as a form of political ritual providing for three distinctive, but complementary functions. First, posturing was a means to create coherence between foreign nuclear policy and domestic civil defense by manipulating symbols of fear. Second, posturing allowed the state to present itself in its new role as a shamanic authority over a new and powerful realm. Finally, posturing allowed for a normalization of the contradictory roles assumed by the state as it upheld its commission to defend the citizenry by means that would most probably destroy them all.M.A.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Doktorspromotionen på Uppsala Universitet är en mycket gammal tradition, och en stor akademisk högtid. Syftet med denna uppsats är att få en djupare förståelse för vad doktorspromotionen förmedlar för mening till de som deltar och vad den har för betydelse. Hur upplevs doktorspromotionen av studenter? Förekommer det en paradox när nya upptäckter och framsteg inom vetenskapen firas med en traditionell ceremoni som har sett likadan ut under många år? Informanterna är studentmarskalkar som deltagit på en eller flera doktorspromotioner, och jag använder mig även av deltagande observation. I teorin redovisas olika definitioner av ritual, samt olika antropologiska ritualteorier. I empirin redogörs det för hur en doktorspromotion går till, och resultatet från tre intervjuer presenteras. I analysen fogas teori och empiri samman i en diskussion om kunskap som en process som länkar samman historia med nutid. Denna process är viktig att anspela på vid en ritual för att dramatiken i sammanlänkningen tilltalar sinnena. I slutsatsen reflekterar jag över huruvida det kan vara så att tradition i detta sammanhang används för att understryka framsteg.

Robinson, Peter J. A. "Baptism in ritual perspective : myth, symbol and metaphor as anthropological foundations for a baptismal theology". Thesis, Durham University, 1997. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/5060/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis argues that Christian baptism is most profitably understood from the perspective of anthropological studies of ritual, A dialogue with its categories establishes that baptismal theology has often implicitly assumed social anthropology's findings on ritual in general. It also suggests that the primary ritual categories of myth, symbol and metaphor are foundational to baptism's theological development. The anthropology of myth is deployed to locate the narrative basis for baptism. The proposal is made that the story of Jesus' Baptism, which is understood as the revelation of the eschatological new creation, provides baptismal ritual with its imitative source and legitimates its symbols and metaphors. An analysis of iconography is an important part of this justification. This proposal is developed by exploring the properties of baptismal symbols. The concepts of symbolic elusiveness, deep structure and natural symbolism are exploited to give an account of symbols based on water and oil. The sensual experience of olfaction and the flow of human blood are found to be important interpretative concepts which lead naturally to a consideration of the corporeality of baptismal symbolism. Recognising that symbols promote a shared ritual experience, the properties of ritual metaphors are then considered as the primary means for facilitating a baptismal identity. Criteria for an evaluation of the three major metaphors - birth, death and washing - are derived from anthropology and applied. It is concluded that the metaphor of childbirth has a strong claim to be regarded as the appropriate primary metaphor for organising baptism's ritual context. Baptism thus understood offers fresh contours for baptismal theology today and overcomes some of the difficulties presented by more traditional methodologies. Especially, it allows contemporary concerns about baptism to be effectively addressed. Among these are questions about the intelligibility of its liturgical symbols and the relationships between its key metaphors.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Dancing with the hangman is an investigation into the medieval German legend known as the Schelmensage, which has its location in Bergen-Enkheim in Frankfurt, Germany - the town where I was born. It is a legend that concerns the manner in which a hangman became knighted by the emperor Barbarossa. I received the legend from my mother. My initial research question was to find out why the legend was being told for over a period of 900 years. The thesis investigation reveals the legend to be a German trickster myth, achieving this analysis using various theories to define it as myth. The work of Paul Ricoeur on mimesis, is cast in an arc of the prefigured world of action, the act of configuration and the ability of a person to reconfigure a situation or a life, which is applied so as to understand the structures which underlie the legend's meaning. Regarding the word Schelm as the symbolic core of this legend the thesis analyses this symbolism through its etymology, a structural analysis of its five different versions and its ritual performance in the play, Der Schelm von Bergen. The thesis considers the impact of being personally involved with the subject matter. The analysis is woven with personal episodes and this is defended as a reflexive methodolgy.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis investigates the Swedish Veteran’s day as celebrated in Stockholm in 2018. This is investigated in relation to a theoretical background of nationalism and through a lens of ritual theory.The study finds that the formal definition of the veteran that is presented during the Swedish Veteran’s day is not strictly defined. Instead, veteranship is defined by ideological traits such as peace and the nation, and experience-based traits such as risk of violence, suffering or competence. The study finds that different actors put emphasis on different traits. In the ceremony possible paradoxes of some of the traits are hidden in the ritual form. Veteranship occurs in the ceremony in a close relationship to the idea of the nation ofSweden. At times, the nation is depicted as an actor bearing the desirable traits of the veteran.The day in full is furthermore interpreted as a part of a social drama which balances therelationship between the veterans and the nation.

Theurgy, the action of the gods during the ritual acts, a practice incorporated, in late Antiquity, by the philosophical school of Iamblichus as a techné which conducts to, considered at that time, the ultimate experience of Philosophy become like the gods (homóiosis théo) , had influenced and determined the course of the entire Neoplatonism until the end of the ancient Academy. In the work De Mysteriis, which has long been considered irrational , Iamblichus, under the pseudonym of an Egyptian priest, structures the philosophical foundations of the theurgic art, covering topics such as: oracles, possessions, prophetic dreams, divine manifestations in general. The present dissertation aims at a reassessment and rereading of the work based on recent publications of the author s collected philosophical fragments, as well as academic studies derived from them. Through a careful disentangling of the threads of his narrative, an analysis of the first three Books of the work is made, erecting the philosophical foundations of divine manifestations and of the efficacy of the ritual. It exposes thus the argumentation regarding the theurgic art, demonstrating an innovative, complex and syncretic system, nicely elaborated in a high philosophical erudition of his time. It concludes the revised reading of the first three Books and their philosophical foundations of Theurgy, in order to justify the redemption of the depreciated status of the work, pointing also to a new appraisal and repositioning of Iamblichus as a key-element author, in the history of philosophy, to the whole tradition of philosophical foundations of mystical revelations in various later philosophical currents of neoplatonic heritage, until the end of the Renaissance
Teurgia, a ação dos deuses durante os atos ritualísticos, uma prática incorporada, na Antiguidade tardia, pela escola filosófica de Jâmblico como uma techné que conduz à, então considerada, experiência última da Filosofia tornar-se como os deuses (homóiosis théo) , influenciou e determinou o rumo de todo o Neoplatonismo subsequente, até o fim da Academia antiga. Na obra De Mysteriis, que há muito vem sendo considerada irracional , Jâmblico, sob o pseudônimo de um sacerdote egípcio, estrutura os fundamentos filosóficos da arte teúrgica, abordando temas como: oráculos, possessões, sonhos proféticos, manifestações divinas em geral. A presente dissertação visa a uma revisão e releitura da obra embasada nas recentes publicações dos recolhidos fragmentos filosóficos do autor, bem como decorrentes estudos acadêmicos. Por meio de um cuidadoso desembaraçar dos fios de sua narrativa analisam-se os três primeiros Livros da obra, erigindo os fundamentos filosóficos das manifestações divinas e da eficácia do ritual. Expõe-se, assim, a argumentação referente a arte teúrgica, evidenciando um inovador, complexo e sincrético sistema, muito bem elaborado em uma alta erudição filosófica de sua época. Conclui-se a revisada leitura dos três primeiros Livros e seus fundamentos filosóficos da Teurgia, de forma a justificar a redenção do status depreciado da obra, apontando, ainda, uma nova avaliação e reposicionamento de Jâmblico como autor, na história da filosofia, elemento-chave de toda uma tradição de fundamentos filosóficos sobre revelações místicas, em diversas correntes filosóficas posteriores de herança neoplatônica, até o fim da Renascença

The following work researchs the making of the body of Grupo Sonhus Teatro Ritual, relating to its visions, tecniques and links with various traditions. Antropological and theatrical perspectives are put in dialogue in order to offer possibilities of approaching the group praxis. Csordas (2008) and Victor Turner (1982, 1987, 2005) are mobilized to think about the body: phenomenological views, but also emphasizing the comunicational field of the body through the ideia of symbol-body. A path that aims to understand connections between ritual and performance is followed, a central aspect to Grupo Sonhus understaings, and related to their Weltanschauung, analysed with a greater focus through their practices and discourses. The making of this work took place with the performatic learning of practices, but also with participant-observation and special dialogues. We reach the idea that the group aims to a body in transformation and that it hits people seeking their transformation as well.
O presente trabalho investiga a fabricação do corpo do Grupo Sonhus Teatro Ritual, envolvendo suas concepções, técnicas utilizadas e vínculos com diferentes tradições. Coloca-se em diálogo perspectivas antropológicas e teatrais como forma de oferecer possíveis olhares sobre práticas do grupo. Utiliza-se o referencial de Csordas (2008) e Victor Turner (1982, 1987, 2005) para investigar o corpo, propondo leituras fenomenológicas, mas também enfatizando o aspecto comunicacional do corpo através da ideia de corpo-símbolo. Passa-se por um percurso de busca por entender relações de ritual e performance, centrais para o entendimento do Grupo Sonhus, e relacionados a sua Weltanschauung, investigada de forma mais pormenorizada através de práticas e discursos. A realização do trabalho se deu através de aprendizado de práticas no corpo performaticamente, mas também observação-participante e diálogos privilegiados. Chega-se à ideia de que o corpo visado pelo grupo é um corpo em transformação e que atinge as pessoas buscando transformá-las.

Previous issue date: 2013-06-24A text has the ability to preserve the memory of their prior contexts. Without this function there would be no Story. If a text remained in the observer's consciousness only as itself, the past would be as a mosaic of disconnected fragments. Did mine, in the approach of the Conto de Amaro, the words of Yury Lotman. The objective of the present research in relation to Conto de Amaro, a 15thcentury narrative produced in the monastery of Alcobaça in Portugal, regarded as an enigma in the context of medieval literature is, before unveiling the origins, give a voice to the narrative. For that other texts were needed. The internal element of the tale of Amaro that allows better visibility of similar situations is the distinct temporalities living in the same narrative space. The application of the comparative method to this larger constellation with the 14 texts of research support, produced an extensive network of meanings embedded in some way to the Conto de Amaro that you can call its own memory. The identification of these meanings in the communicative mediation of culture mapped by Jesús Martín-Barbero - socialibility, institutionality, technicality, and rituality- allowed an interpretation of the tale of Amaro on several levels that are its own by adding understanding the text. At the same time, generated the perception of two distinct logics operating inside and outside the text, which called for understanding. One of them, different from that which is characteristic of descriptive and explanatory thought that, somehow, can be called the language of names. The functioning of names is so different on the set of natural languages, they can be considered a separate language. Their presence, however, is sensitive in the substrate of the cultures and the heterogeneity of human consciousness. The space they inhabit is mosaicado, their temporality is distinct and their nature is symbols. In the research, I indicate its presence and made a few comments. Among the authors who helped immensely in understanding the goal I quote Jerusa Pires Ferreira, Aron Gurevitch, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Yuri Lotman, Roman Jakobson, Boris Uspenski, Vyacheslav Ivanov and Santo Amaro
Um texto tem a capacidade de preservar a memória de seus prévios contextos. Sem essa função não haveria História. Se um texto permanecesse na consciência do observador apenas como si mesmo, o passado se apresentaria a nós como um mosaico de fragmentos desconexos. Fiz minhas, na abordagem do Conto de Amaro, as palavras de Iuri Lotman. O objetivo da presente pesquisa em relação ao Conto de Amaro, uma narrativa do século XV produzida no mosteiro de Alcobaça em Portugal, considerada como um enigma no âmbito da literatura medieval é, antes que descortinar origens, dar uma voz à narrativa. Para isso outros textos foram necessários. O elemento interno do Conto de Amaro que permite melhor visibilidade de situações semelhantes é o de temporalidades distintas convivendo num mesmo espaço narrativo. A aplicação do método comparativo a essa constelação ampliada com a pesquisa de 14 textos de apoio, produziu uma ampla rede de significados incorporados de alguma forma ao Conto de Amaro e que podem ser chamados de sua memória. A identificação desses significados nas mediações comunicativas da cultura mapeadas por Jesús Martín-Barbero - socialidade, institucionalidade, tecnicidade, e ritualidade - permitiu uma interpretação do Conto de Amaro em vários níveis que lhe são próprios, acrescentando entendimento ao texto. Ao mesmo tempo, gerou a percepção de duas lógicas distintas em funcionamento dentro e fora no texto, que solicitavam compreensão. Uma delas, diferente da que é característica do pensamento descritivo e explicativo e que, de algum modo, pode ser chamada língua dos nomes próprios. O funcionamento dos nomes próprios é tão diferente no conjunto das línguas naturais, que eles podem ser considerados uma língua à parte. Sua presença, no entanto, é sensível no substrato das culturas e na heterogeneidade da consciência humana. O espaço que habitam é mosaicado, sua temporalidade é distinta e sua natureza é de símbolos. Na pesquisa que apresento, limitei-me a indicar sua presença e fiz alguns comentários. Entre os autores que auxiliaram imensamente na compreensão do objetivo cito Jerusa Pires Ferreira, Aron Gurevitch, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Iuri Lotman, Roman Jakobson, Boris Uspenski, Vyacheslav Ivanov e Santo Amaro

Previous issue date: 2014-12-02The object of this work is the body in the laboratories of the liturgy celebrates Network. The study was conducted through literature research and participant observation. It was investigated whether the methods used in laboratories litírgicos actually ensure the full participation of the person in the liturgy; if the individuals involved acquire a more integrated and full perception of self and other, and how they acquire understanding of the cosmos. It was found that Network takes over the body as an element of capital importance for the completion of the rite, so she has sought, through the liturgy laboratories, working for those involved in liturgical action can be positioned fully in comprising this sense the rediscovery of corporeality. This effort has contributed to a better understanding of the human being in its entirety, where the individual perceives himself interacting with his peers, with the cosmos and with the transcendent.
O objeto deste trabalho é o corpo nos laboratórios de liturgia da Rede Celebra. O estudo foi realizado por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e observação participante.Foi averiguada se os métodos utilizados nos laboratórios litírgicos realmente garantem a participação plena da pessoa na liturgia; se os indivíduos envolvidos adquirem uma percepção mais integrada e plena de si e do outro, e qual a compreensão que eles adquirem do cosmo. Constatou-se que Rede assume o corpo como elemento de importância capital para a realização do rito, por isso, ela tem procurado, através dos laboratórios de liturgia, trabalhar para que os envolvidos na ação litúrgica possam se posicionar de modo pleno, compreendendo neste sentido a redescoberta da corporeidade. Tal esforço tem contribuído para uma melhor compreensão do ser humano na sua inteireza, onde o indivíduo percebe-se a si mesmo interagindo com o seu semelhante, com o cosmo e com o transcendente.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This study has three aims. The first one is to review which Buddhist symbols are used in Rituals commercial “The Ritual of Laughing Buddha”, where Rituals is a cosmetic company, with a main focus on skin care. The second aim with my study is to examine how semiotic resources are used to depict Buddhist symbols based on multimodal critical discourse analysis, and the third aim is to examine how the concept of banal religion in the theory of mediatization can contribute to the understanding of the representation of Buddhist symbols. This paper will use a multimodal critical discourse analysis to examine the commercial and then analyze the material in relation to the theory of mediatization as described by Hjarvard. The semiotic resources made the Buddhist symbols appear explicitly and since several Buddhist symbols were found in the material, the concept of banal religion could be used as a theoretical focus and contribute to an understandning of how Buddhist symbols are used in the commercial. The results show that the commercial is not intended to convey a religious message, but was mainly used to connote emotions such as happiness, warmth and extravagance. Representation of religion is thus found in the commercial, but the Buddhist symbols are used in a different way, and are in a new context than from institutionalized religion.

Briault, Camilla. "Symbols, spaces and materiality : a transmission-based approach to Aegean Bronze Age ritual". Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2005. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1444555/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis explores the transmission of ritual practices in the second millennium BC Aegean. In contrast to previous approaches, which often overlook gaps in the diachronic record, emphasising continuity in cult practice over very long timescales, it is argued here that through charting the spatial and temporal distributions of three broad material types (cult symbols, spaces and objects), it is possible to document the spread of cult practice over time and space, and, crucially, to monitor changes in ritual between periods and between regions. Quantitative analyses of eight Cretan cult symbols, and examinations of each type of Aegean cult space and their associated ritual objects are employed in order to determine the extent to which ritual systems remained stable or underwent transformation over a thousand-year period. These analyses also expose the mechanisms by which ritual practice was transmitted. By relating the periods of stability and flux in ritual practice to the wider social and political changes seen in the Aegean during the Bronze Age, the role of ritual in the formation, maintenance and dissolution of political systems in different regions of the Aegean becomes more apparent. The wider aim of this thesis is to develop a new theoretical and methodological framework for examining the spread of ritual practices in prehistoric contexts, and the Aegean data thus serve as a case study on which to test that framework. The reproduction and transformation of ritual systems through time is an under-theorised area of prehistoric archaeology, and the second millennium BC Aegean provides an unusually attractive testing ground for theories of ritual transmission, due both to the quantity and range of the material available, and to the fine chronological control we now have over a large part of it. Focussing on ritual as a performance-based, materialised social practice, the framework combines models of cultural transmission drawn from archaeology, anthropology and cognitive psychology, and should be applicable not only to the Bronze Age Aegean, but to ritual stability and change in other prehistoric contexts.

The research is dedicated to the study and applications of some ritual elements in the mass media, as an attempt to fulfill the emptiness of existence, occasioned by the arrival of consciousness in the primordial man. Justification for this topic is based on the perception that the primitive man, with his mythic thoughts, and the modern man, straight thoughts formulated, have the same collective ritual dimensional base. Ritual must be read as a group of actions defined by their symbolic importance to a specific society. The actions and symbols aren't freely chosen by individuals, they are imposed by an external source. For the primordial man, the source is the ceremonial priests. For the modern man, the source is the influence of mass media. Showing how media uses the archetypical and sacred aspect of the ritual, manipulating its core for their own needs and satisfaction: fascination, enchantment, infiltration and stereotyping. By the Cultural Semiotic prism, the thesis aspires to contribute to studies and cultural communication, aiming for the rescue of complexity in the means of communication. How primitive rituals formats still survive in modern media, albeit in a saturated way, is the question this study addresses. Adopted methodological procedure was a research of qualitative character, involving analysis and bibliographical survey. As the theorical board of references are the authors B. Cyrulink, D. Kamper, E. Morin, H. Pross, I. Bystrina, J. Hillman, K. Lorenz, M. Berman, M. S. Contrera, N. Baitello Jr., N. Sevcenko, V. Flusser, V. Romano e Z. Bauman. The conclusion is that, even if banalized and distorted, the principles of symbolic reorganization of the ritual still exert considerable influence in the media and in the mindset of the modern man
A pesquisa está dedicada ao estudo da aplicação de alguns elementos rituais pela mídia de massa, como tentativa de suprir o vazio existencial, proporcionado pelo surgimento da consciência no homem genérico. A justificativa da escolha do tema repousa na percepção de que tanto o homem primitivo, com sua estrutura de pensamento mítico, quanto o homem atual, com seu pensamento linearmente formulado, alimentam-se do ritual de dimensão coletiva. Entende-se por ritual um conjunto de ações, caracterizadas por seu valor simbólico, para determinado grupo social. Tanto as ações quanto o simbolismo não são escolhidos livremente pelo indivíduo, mas ditados por uma fonte externa. No caso do homem primordial, a fonte relaciona-se aos mestres da cerimônia religiosa. No caso do homem atual, a fonte refere-se ao poder de influência da mídia de massa. Nesse sentido, a intenção do trabalho de pesquisa é mostrar como a mídia utiliza o recurso arquetípico e sagrado do ritual, transportando seu núcleo de sentido para a satisfação dos seus interesses imediatos: fascínio, encanto, infiltração e estereotipagem. Sob a vertente da Semiótica da Cultura, a dissertação objetiva contribuir para os estudos de comunicação e cultura, visando o resgate da complexidade nos meios de comunicação. O problema de pesquisa diz respeito à questão de como o formato do ritual primitivo sobrevive, de modo saturado, nos meios de comunicação de massa, e de que modo lhes foi incorporado. Referente às questões metodológicas, o procedimento adotado foi uma pesquisa de caráter qualitativo, envolvendo crítica e levantamento bibliográfico. Para estabelecer a relação desejada entre conteúdo arcaico e mídia de massa foram selecionadas como referencial teórico a semiótica da cultura (centradas nos autores I. Bystrina, M. S. Contrera e N. Baitello Jr), a teoria da comunicação (de B. Cyrulink, K. Lorenz, V. Flusser e V. Romano), as teorias da mídia e do imaginário (baseadas nos textos de D. Kamper e H. Pross), entre outras áreas do conhecimento e outros autores, tais como, E. Morin, J. Hillman, M. Berman, N. Sevcenko e Z. Bauman. A conclusão do estudo foi a de que, apesar de distorcido e banalizado, os princípios de reorganização simbólica do ritual continuam a exercer notável influência na mídia e na mentalidade do homem atual

This project examines the conception and imaging of the city in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The thesis aims to chart the ways in which a spatialised reading of the metropolis most fully realised in ceremonial representations of the city informs representational strategies of the time. Chapter 1 looks at the transformations taking place during this period in the practice of land surveying, exploring the implications of the new techniques of geometrical survey for conceptions of civic space. Examining the parallels between the viewing of the estate and the reformation of the Rogationtide ceremonies of perambulating the bounds, the urban context for spatial description is analysed through a reading of John Stow's Survey of London. In Chapter 2 the resistance of the city to a strictly geometrical conception of space is traced through an analysis of early printed maps of the city and the texts of civic ceremonies. The shared interest of these cultural practices in the representation of civic space is interrogated to reveal an understanding of the city as comprising !oth built environment and social body which informs the deployment of the city as a subject of cartographic representation. The next chapter analyses the costume book in the context of a Europewide project of geographical description. The production of a clothed body capable of articulating spatial and hierarchical difference is examined in relation to the available ceremonial models for the negotiation of these intersecting axes of description and the tensions generated by this representational strategy The final chapter undertakes a reinvestigation of the Earl of Essex's rebellion, reading a wide range of materials to argue for the centrality of anxieties over the control of the civic sign to the understanding of this event.

AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Gabor Hardy, for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Speech Communication, presented on 8 March, 2012, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale TITLE: A RITUAL IN PERSPECTIVE: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF A LAKOTA SUNDANCE AT HOOSIER NATIONAL FOREST MAJOR PROFESSOR: Dr. Jonathan Gray Using ethnographic methods, interviews, observations, and participation of and in indigenous rituals, I discuss the ways in which Western and American Indian notions of spirit, human beings and their place in the world, and the practice of spirituality differ in action, thought, and word. Since the time of the Renaissance the supremacy of "rational" or "reasonable" modes of thinking has influenced the modern world. Many American Indian writers, shamans, and Sundance chiefs believe that an understanding of their approach to the Divine may never be apprehended without some sort of actual experience. This indigenous perspective differs in substantial ways from hegemonic, Christian and Western linear modes of thinking. I draw on my attendance at numerous Sundance rituals, readings by American Indian spiritual leaders, and ethnographic work done at the Salt Creek Sundance ritual to articulate and streamline major differences and similarities that exist in both approaches. Through participation and dialogue, a distinct indigenous spiritual approach emerges that is difficult to reconcile with traditional Christian and Eurocentric world views. As I hope to demonstrate, the appearance and performance of American Indian ritual serve to not only challenge Western colonial perspectives, but also to empower indigenous approaches to spirit. In order to cultivate a more tolerant approach to the diversity and various modes of spiritual expression, a change in consciousness is needed, not necessarily for the American Indian worldview, but from the current ethnocentric worldview of the US Government which holds this form of government as the highest accomplishment of any nation thus far. This dissertation offers an approach that probes the relationship between an earth based religion and a monotheistic religion. Finally, I present a vision that allows for an understanding and/or appreciation of a spiritual approach which remains alien to Western approaches and conceptualizations of spirit. Key words: rational mind, symbolic meaning, ritual, myths, sacred, ideology, truth, indigenous worlds, cosmology, spirituality, reason, ethnography, Sundance, performance, and Native American.

O presente estudo tem por objetivo identificar o processo de eficácia simbólica relacionado à prática da técnica de apometria, realizada, paralelamente, em um centro espírita e um consultório na cidade de Porto Alegre (Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil). Esta técnica, segundo define Azevedo (2007), é uma forma de executar o desdobramento do corpo, composto por sete corpos sutis, e dessa forma curar ou tratar enfermidades físicas ou espirituais com auxílio de entidades desencarnadas (plano espiritual). Utilizando-se os métodos de observação participante e registro em diário de campo durante a etnografia, realizou-se o acompanhamento dos atendimentos com apometria a consulentes acometidos por câncer. Após a compilação e interpretação dos dados, realizadas pela análise de ritual, proposta por Peirano (2002), como sendo um conjunto de enunciados e ações dotado de ordem, repetição e objetivo coletivo comum; assim como pela análise de discurso, que Caregnato e Mutti (2005) o compreendem como forma de dar sentido à cultura em um contexto específico; foi possível identificar os elementos que compõem a apometria, quais os elementos que compreendem seu processo de eficácia simbólica e quais materialidades e fluxos estão presentes. Abordou-se a eficácia simbólica, entendida para além das representações, à luz da ideia desenvolvida por Tavares e Bassi (2013), configurando um conjunto de agentes que envolvem símbolos, mitos, ações e os indivíduos presentes nas relações estabelecidas por objetivos e afetações coletivas.This study aims to identify the process of symbolic efficacy related to the practice of apometry technique performed in parallel on a spiritual center and an office in the city of Porto Alegre (RS, Brazil). This technique, as defined by Azevedo (2007), is a way to run the body split, composed of seven subtle bodies, and thus cure or treat diseases of the physical or spiritual body with the help of disembodied entities (spiritual realm). Using the methods of participant observation and recording in a field diary during the ethnography, there was monitoring of calls with apometry the consultants affected by cancer. After compilation and interpretation of data carried out by ritual analysis proposed by Peirano (2002) as a set of statements and actions endowed with order, repetition and common collective goal and the discourse analysis, Caregnato and Mutti(2005) comprising the speech as a way to make sense and culture in a specific context, it has become possible to identify the elements that make up the apometry, as those involved understand its symbolic efficacy and which materiality and process flows are present. It addressed the symbolic efficacy, understood beyond the representations in light of the idea developed by Tavares and Bassi (2013), setting up a group of agents that involve symbols, myths, actions and individuals present in the relationships established by collective goals and affectations.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The ancient Zapotec city of Monte Albán, occupied from approximately 500 BC to 850 AD, was prehispanic Oaxaca´s largest and most important urban centre. The zooarchaeological material considered in the study dates from the Late Preclassic (400 BC-200 AD) and Early Classic (200-500 AD) periods, when growth and consolidation of Monte Albán took place. The main topic is related to the subsistence, which allowed the survival of the elite. Other uses of the taxa apart from food were also taken into account such as ritual, symbolic and functional ones. The faunal remains were found in association both with elite households, and with some public spaces near the Main Plaza. The study showed that animals were used in different activities within private and public spaces of the elite, including food processing, consumption and discarding. Some other taxa were also appreciated for their symbolic meaning and functioned as status symbols. According to the identification of the faunal bones not only domestic species such as dog and turkey were part of the diet, but wild animals were also represented by white-tailed deer, peccary and lagomorphs. Occasionally, species including fish and turtles were obtained from the rivers near Monte Albán. Faunal assemblages were probably the product of both daily activities and feasts. Subsistence patterns were detected during different periods of time and areas. The diet of Monte Albán inhabitants was discussed and compared to evidence from contemporary elite societies in the Valley of Oaxaca and Mesoamerica, such as the Mayas and Teotihuacanos.

Previous issue date: 2003-12-19The objective of this paper is to show the body as an area and possibility of a religious manifestation inside the conception of the world of candomblé. The importance of the body universe, its legitimacy and alterity as a symbolic language ruled in ritual performances of candomblé: initiation, anguish and orixá dance, retaking the involvement of body inside of sacred areas. The study is ruled in a cultural anthropology that settles parameters that justify function, intention and meaning of acts and gestual behaviours. Through concepts proportioned by social sciences as culture, symbol, rite, myth, dance, tradition and religion, help us in the comprehension of building of human being as a social product.
O objeto da presente dissertação é o corpo como espaço e possibilidade de manifestação religiosa dentro da cosmovisão do candomblé. A imensa importância, legitimidade e alteridade do universo corporal é vista como linguagem simbólica pautada nas práticas ritualísticas do candomblé, sendo a iniciação, o transe e a dança dos orixás, os momentos específicos utilizados para nossa análise, compreendendo o corpo como espaço de manifestação do sagrado. O estudo está pautado na antropologia cultural estabelecendo parâmetros que justificam função, intenção e significado de atos e comportamentos gestuais. Através de conceitos proporcionados pelas ciências sociais como cultura, símbolo, rito, mito, dança, tradição e religião, estes nos auxiliam na compreensão da construção do ser humano como artefato social.

O estudo do comportamento dos consumidores nomeadamente, os rituais de consumo associados ao consumo de café e os fatores envolvidos nesse processo é importante para podermos compreender e comparar o comportamento dos consumidores cariocas e lisboetas no que tange ao consumo de café. Por outro lado, também é importante averiguar a influência da cultura e da sociedade nesses rituais de consumo, de forma a compreender a evolução do varejo de café pronto no Brasil. Os modelos que vêm sendo aplicados aqui se adaptam às características do público local, o que traz para a nossa discussão, a noção de cultura. Como em Portugal o uso do café expresso já é mais maduro que no Rio de Janeiro, a comparação entre as duas culturas pode ser interessante para ajudar o varejo brasileiro a se desenvolver. Para tal, neste estudo, foram entrevistados moradores das cidades do Rio de Janeiro e de Lisboa, a fim de descrevermos de que modo consomem café, os rituais associados a esse bem de consumo, assim como seus hábitos, motivações e justificativas para esse consumo, mostrando que não trata apenas de uma decisão de compra utilitária, mas também simbólica. Com esse objetivo, foram entrevistadas 69 e pessoas e os resultados dessas entrevistas avaliados de forma interpretativa. A conclusão foi a de que a bebida é consumida por uma parcela heterogênea dos entrevistados e que, geralmente, os consumidores associam o consumo de café a hábito, prazer, círculo de amizades, trabalho – como break –, colegas e família. Isso revela que o significado social da bebida está enraizado no âmbito doméstico, no trabalho ou no círculo de amizades e que esse significado está intrinsecamente associado aos hábitos e costumes das sociedades brasileira e portuguesa como fruto de suas culturas. Consequentemente, grande parte dos rituais de consumo dessa bebida está interligada ao seu significado social. Observou-se a necessidade de expansão desse mercado, particularmente, entre os jovens no Rio de Janeiro, e que muitas vezes o aroma é preferível ao sabor, pois mesmo aqueles que não apreciam muito a bebida, de uma forma geral, afirmaram gostar bastante do aroma. Assim, é fundamental para os gestores de estabelecimentos de varejo de café pronto conhecerem o cliente, serem inovadores e anteciparem as tendências, de modo a satisfazerem as necessidades deste. A preocupação não deve ser apenas com a qualidade do produto oferecido e com o conforto do cliente, mas também em agregar valor ao café e ao serviço prestado, proporcionando à clientela uma experiência única, a qual pode ser um diferencial importante, pois a conotação simbólica associada a esse bem de consumo é cada vez mais destacada.
The study of consumer behavior, including consumption rituals associated with coffee consumption and the factors involved in this process, is important to enable one to compare and understand consumer behavior both among Cariocas and Lisboetas with respect to coffee consumption. On the other hand, it is important to ascertain the influence of culture and society in this type of ritual consumption. To this end, this work aimed to interview the residents of the city of Rio de Janeiro and Lisbon - to identify customers, to profile them, the history of its use, type of usage, to describe their rituals associated with this consumer good, their habits, influence, motivational factors and their justifications for coffee consumption, showing that coffee consumption is not only an economic acquisition, but also a symbolic communication. We also found non-coffee drinkers and checked why they refuse the drink. To this end, 69 people were interviewed and the results interpretively evaluated. The results revealed that the beverage is consumed by a heterogeneous portion of the population, and that in general consumers associate the consumption of coffee to habit, pleasure, circle of friends, as a break from work, colleagues and family. This reflects that the social significance of the drink is domestic rooted, in work situations or in a circle of friends and that this meaning is strongly associated with the habits and customs of the Brazilian and Portuguese societies as the product of their cultures. As a consequence, most of the rituals of consumption of this drink are linked to their social meaning. There is a need for expansion of this market especially among young people in Rio de Janeiro. The smell is often preferable to the taste. Even those who do not like much to drink, in general, said like the smell quite well. Thus, it is crucial for managers of such establishments to know the customer, be innovative and to anticipate trends in order to meet their needs, worrying not only with the quality of its products and with the comfort of their clients, but also in adding value to coffee and to service. Giving the customers a unique experience may be an important differentiating factor since the symbolic connotation associated with this commodity is increasingly highlighted.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The main task of this thesis is to elucidate the historical and symbolic contexts of female and male initiation rituals among the Mandinka as well as linkages to matricentric or mother focused religious ideologies. The main argument of this thesis is that female and male initiation rituals correspond with ancient Mande creation mythology. I argue that, in Mande cosmology, excision and circumcision are "hidden" iconographic representations that refer to the creation and transformation of the world from androgynous nature to sexually differentiated culture marked by cross-sex relations of power. Female and male initiation rituals are re-enactments of this cosmology, particularly the third phase of creation, which concerns the symbolic reproduction of culture and the social world: female elders transform female initiates into "male" "seeds" and male elders transform male initiates into "female" "vaginas". In marriage, female elders represent the "Phallus" that transplant the "male" "seed" as "bride" or "foetus" through the groom's "vagina" and into the agnatic "Womb" which the male elders represent. I argue further that when women assert excision as "tradition" and "culture" they are claiming the power of their "grandmothers", or female elders, in passing on prehistoric "matriarchal" religious ideologies that buttress women's key roles in ritual, as well as their socioeconomic and symbolic value as producers of "rice" and reproducers of humans. Chapters one to four of this thesis set the ethnographic and theoretical stage for the analysis of ritual and mythical symbols. Chapters five to seven unravel dominant initiation ritual symbols and their parallels with creation myths and conquer/settlement narratives. This thesis concludes that female and male initiation assert the interdependence and complementarity of both "matriarchy" and "patriarchy" centred on the ideological axis of mother and son, which was in the past embodied by the "circumcision" queen (ngansimbaa) and the "warrior" king (mansoo) or the custodians of "tradition" and land respectively.

Den här uppsatsen tar sin utgångspunkt i att social sammanhållning är mycket viktigt för militära förband för att de ska kunna fungera i den varierande arbetsmiljö de är tvungna att arbeta i. undersökningen syftar till att studera de praktiska metoder och strukturer som Förvarsmakten använder sig av för att skapa starka arbetslag och öka den sociala sammanhållningen. Som teoretiskt ramverk används Durkheims religionsbegrep det heliga och de profana, totem och ritualer. Totem är de symboler som grupper av människor använder för att visualisera det de anser är heligt samtidigt som dessa symboler identifierar individen som bär dem till gruppen. Ritualer har den egenskapen att de för människor närmare varandra och sätter oss i rörelse. I och med att människor samlas och gör samma rörelser skapas de kollektiva upplevelser som främjar deras gemensamma social identitet och bevisar för varandra att de tillhör samma grupp. Min studie visar att kollektiva upplevelser så som att arbete tillsammans i en profession med tydliga gemensamma mål binder individer närmare varandra och skapar grupper. Men för respondenterna i undersökningen lyfter även fram att ett meningsutbytande mellan individerna i en grupp är viktigt för att en grupp ska kunna fungera och vara så stark som den kan bli. Sådant meningsutbytande ser i samtal utanför eller innanför yrket men kretsar kring mer privata ämnen. Det de här metoderna syftar till är att ge individerna och/eller gruppen en känsla eller stämning av några heliga känslor, trygghet, tillit, delaktighet, gemenskap och lojalitet. Utan att dessa känslor återfinns i en grupp skapas ingen effektiv eller stark grupp i längden.

Thesis (DTh)--University of Stellenbosch, 1995.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A number of theories aimed at more effective ways of religious education have seen the light in recent years. They are all characterized by a holistic approach which emphasises the fact that we should try to utilise more than just the cognitive and verbal potential of man. This study does not merely accept this view but would also like to go further and look for practical means to implement these ideas. The central hypothesis of the study is that symbols and rituals are eminently suitable instruments if one opts for a holistic approach towards religious education. Various shifts which have recently occurred in modern society are highlighted in the study. These include a new outlook on life, new behavioural patterns, new ways of communication and new theories on communication. The complexity of our society is described because it has a major influence on the functioning of symbols and rituals. Secondly, symbols and rituals are defined and their functioning is described. Issues like the interplay between symbol and ritual and society, the way in which order and identity are given to society by symbols and rituals, the way in which symbols and rituals communicate without the use of a multitude of words, the pastoral function that symbols and rituals can fulfil and the gradual disappearance of symbols and rituals from our society are discussed. Attention is also paid to the concepts "liminality" and "commullitas", as described by the anthropologist Victor Turner. These two concepts are central to the understanding of the way in which rituals function. Thirdly, symbols and rituals are viewed from a Biblical and theological angle. The study shows that man was created as a symbol, but also underlines the importance of seeing man's body and soul as a unity. This has special implications for the manner in which we ritualize. It is also pointed out that symbols and rituals have played a major role in worship since the earliest times. The important role which kerugmatic and cultic acts, as well as the sacraments have played and can still play in the life of a believer is also described. Fourthly, the study concludes that symbols and rituals can indeed play a vital role in the process of religious education and the deepening and expansion of faith. The argument is supported in a deductive manner by the insights of people like H. Westerhoff, P. Babin, C.R. Foster, S. McLean and others. It is stressed that symbols and rituals should be used in a nuanced manner. Finally a number of proposals are made as to how these principles could be implemented in practice, together with some suggestions for further study. We believe that this should stimulate both the utilisation of symbols and rituals and further discussion and research in this regard.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Daar het die afgelope aantal jare 'n hele aantal teoriee rakende die effektiewe oordrag van geloofsinhoude die lig gesien. Die teoriee word feitlik deurgaans gekenmerk deur 'n holistiese benadering wat beklemtoon dat meer as die kognitiewe en verbale potensiaal van die mens benut behoort te word. Hierdie studie sluit daarby aan, maar soek verder na praktiese instrumente vir geloofsvorming wat aan hierdie vereiste sal voldoen. Die sentrale hipotese van die studie is dat simbole en rituele by uitnemendheid geskik is om geloofsinhoude op 'n holistiese wyse oor te dra en so mee te werk aan 'n proses van geloofsvorming. Daar word in die studie gewys op skuiwe wat die afgelope aantal jare binne die moderne samelewing plaasgevind het en die mens se gedrag, lewens- en wereldbeskouing, asook kommunikasie en teoriee ten opsigte van kommunikasie daadwerklik beinvloed het. Die kompleksiteit van die samelewing word uitgelig omdat dit sowel positiewe as negatiewe implikasies vir die funksionering van simbole en rituele het. Tweedens word simbole en rituele gedefinieer en die funksionering daarvan beskryf Sake soos die wisselwerking tussen simbole en ritue1e en die gemeenskap, die wyse waarop simbole en rituele orde en identiteit aan die gemeenskap gee, die wyse waarop simbole en rituele sonder 'n omhaal van woorde kommunikeer, die pastorale funksies wat deur simbole en ritue1e vervul kan word en die wyse waarop simbole en rituele algaande uit die samelewing verdwyn het, word bespreek. Aandag word ook aan die begrippe "liminaliteit" en "communitas" gegee. Daar word veral aangesluit by die werk van die antropoloog Victor Turner. Hierdie twee begrippe word as wesenlik vir die verstaan van die funksionering van rituele beskou. Derdens word simbole en rituele deur 'n teologiese en Bybelse bril beskou. Ten aanvang word daarop gewys dat daar aan die mens die kwaliteit gegee is om as lewende simbool te funksioneer. Vervolgens word aangetoon hoe be1angrik dit is om die liggaamlikheid van die mens ernstig op te neem en daarna hoedat simbole en rituele vanaf die Bybelse tye 'n sentrale rol gespeel het in die aanbiddingswereld van gelowiges. Die besondere rol wat kerugmatiese en kultiese handelinge, asook die sakramente, in die geloofslewe van mense gespeel het en steeds speel, word bespreek. Vierdens word die gevolgtrekking gemaak dat simbole en rituele inderdaad 'n belangrike rol kan speel in die proses van geloofsvorming. Die argument word verder op deduktiewe wyse ondersteun deur insigte van persone soos J.H. Westerhoff, P. Babin, R. Osmer, C.R. Foster, S. McLean e.a. Daar word veral gewys op die belangrikheid van 'n genuanseerde gebruik van simbole en rituele. Ten slotte word enkele bedieningsvoorstelle en aanbevelings vir verdere navorsing gemaak wat as stimulering van die bedieningspraktyk behoort te dien.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The essay is an interdisciplinary work linking History of Religion and Archaeology. The work is based on the study of the finds from a unique archaeological Italian Bronze Age site. The evidence in question has been recently excavated on the outskirts of the modern town of Noceto, Parma province, in northern Italy. It is dated to the end of the local Middle Bronze Age, which corresponds roughly to the 14th century BCE, and belongs to the local so called Terramare culture. The site consist of a large wooden basin, which once stood in a relatively dominant position within a local Bronze Age village. The basin has been always completely filled with water. Thanks to the particular environmental conditions in the pool, organic material of cellulosic nature, such as wood, preserved very well. We therefore have very precise data about the structure itself and about an astonishing number of finds that have been retrieved from the basin. The basin was apparently used for a limited period of time, which has been estimated of a few generations or a maximum of 100 years. It was apparently used as a sort of “offer place” and hundreds of finds have been sunk in its water. Although depositions in wet areas are very common all over Europe and the Mediterranean throughout the Bronze Age, no other built structures such as the Noceto’s basin are known so far. Noceto provides strong indications of religious nature, since no productive activities or every day practices could be detected in connection to it. With an eye to the debate on the materiality of religion, the aim of the essays is in the first place to investigate and discuss how the religious nature of the place can be understood, when working solely on the results of the religious activities that once have taken place around its margins. Secondly, the aim is also to attempt using the evidence from Noceto to discuss more broadly issues of Bronze Age religion. The analysis of the material is carried out considering deposition rituals from the point of view of performance and agency theories. It is argued that the finds from the pool acted as indexes of agency and were part of performative event that linked together the people carrying out and/or watching the ritual, the place and the divine expressed by the place. Considering that the significance of ritual performance has been seen, among other things, in the transformative power that is contextually assigned to rituals, it is believed that the finds from Noceto’s basin likely embodied an attempt to establish or secure positive transformations possibly in people life and in fundamental productive activities such as for instance agriculture. The sacred role of water during the Bronze Age has been addressed by several scholars, but it is generally connected to the ritual “usage” of particular places such as wetlands, caves, rivers and so on. Noceto’s basin provides the possibility for the first time to analyse an attempt to artificially and magnificently bring the sacred into a settlement area and thus possibly create the premises for more controlled or regular/regulated religious activities.Uppsatsen är ett tvärvetenskapligt arbete som länkar samman religionshistoria och arkeologi. Arbetets fokus ligger på de arkeologiska fynden som grävdes fram från en unik rituell anläggning från Norra Italien. Anläggningen i frågan befinner sig i utkanten av staden Noceto, i Parma-provinsen. Den är daterad till slutet av den lokala mellersta bronsåldern, vilket ungefär motsvarar 1400-talet f. Kr. Anläggningen är en stor träbassäng, som en gång stod i en relativt dominerande position innanför ett boplatsområde. Bassängen har från början varit helt fyllt med vatten. Tack vare de speciella miljöförhållandena i poolen, organiskt material, såsom trä, har bevarats mycket bra. Vi har därför precisa uppgifter om själva strukturen och om ett förvånande antal fynd som fanns i bassängen. Anläggningen användes tydligen under en begränsad tidsperiod, som uppskattats av några få generationer eller maximalt c:a 100 år. Det arkeologiska materialet från poolen tyder på att det har haft en funktion som offer-plats och att hundratals objekt har sänkts i sitt vatten. Fastän deponeringar i våta områden är vanliga över hela Europa och Medelhavsområde under bronsåldern, liknande byggnader till Nocetos bassängen är än så länge inte kända. Nocetos pool ger starka bevis av religiös karaktär, eftersom tecken på produktiva verksamheter eller vardagsaktiviteter inte kunde upptäckas i den. Med hänsyn till debatterna om religions materialitet är syftet med uppsatsen i första hand att undersöka och diskutera hur platsens religiösa natur kan förstås, om man bara arbetar med resultaten av de religiösa aktiviteterna som ägde rum kring den under bronsåldern. För det andra är målet också att försöka använda bevis från Noceto för att diskutera mer allmänna frågor kring bronsålderns religion och religiositet. Materialet har analyserat med utgångspunkt i performance och angecy teorier. Det hävdas att fynd från poolen fungerade som indexes of agency och var ett grundläggande element av de rituella performansen som genomfördes vid bassängen. Med tanke på att en grundläggande funktion i rituella performansen anses ligga bland annat i den transformativa kraften som tillskrivs ritualer, är förslaget att fynden från Nocetos bassäng uttrycker ett försök att åstadkomma positiva omvandlingar möjligen i människolivet och/eller i grundläggande produktiva aktiviteter såsom till exempel jordbruk. Den heliga rollen av vatten under bronsåldern har tagits upp extensivt. Särskilda platser, som våtmark, grottor, floder, källor och så vidare, har används för att deponera offer. Nocetos bassäng ger möjlighet för första gången att analysera ett försök att skapa en helgedom i ett bosättningsområde och därigenom att även skapa förutsättningar för möjligtvis kontrollerade eller regelbundna religiösa aktiviteter.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This project describes the role of ritual in the basic entrainment processes of Canadian soldiers. Building on the ecological systems theories of Urie Bronfenbrenner and Roy Rappaport, this project construes human adaptation to occur within multiple interdependent planes of ordered biological, sociostructural, psychosocial and symbolic (even transcendent) meanings and interactions within integrated social ecologies or “living systems.” Rappaport’s theory supports the argument that invariant, embodied actions and impulses not encoded by ritual performers establish social order, values, motivations, competencies, dispositions and representational or symbolic meanings—understood within this project as worldview—circulating within and regulating integrated human ecologies. Ordered sequences of invariant actions and impulses have also come to be conveyed within human phylogenic and ontogenetic developmental processes.
This project specifically explores the hypothesis that embodied ritual dynamics pervade the basic entrainment rite of Canadian soldiers. The analysis draws on the ritual theory of Rappaport and the psychosocial developmental theory of Erik Erikson to describe the manner in which innate social regulating impulses and liturgically ordered ritual processes are exploited, in conjunction with predictable human psychosocial developmental imperatives, to build foundational martial dispositions, a spontaneous impulse to radical solidarity and a robust, homogeneous and multivocalic worldview in Canadian soldiers. Such a worldview is adaptive to all aspects of service within the Canadian Armed Forces.
The rudimentary martial worldview inscribed upon recruit soldiers and officer candidates forms the foundational background to all subsequent martial meaning and adaptation in so far as it is collectively maintained throughout the military career. This argument maintains that a ritual analysis of adaptive meaning and solidarity among soldiers has profound implications for the structure and direction of future research investigating the persistent and well documented rates of distress, maladaptation and health pathology among serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka musikscenen för klassisk musik och punkmusikscenen för att få förståelse för några av de drivkrafter som genererar solidaritet inom dem. För undersökningen har symbolisk interaktionism använts som teoretisk referensram med Randall Collins begrepp ritualer, symboler och emotionell energi som huvudsaklig utgångspunkter. Valet av symbolisk interaktionism vilar på det faktum att teorin kan användas för att studera mänskligt gruppliv och beteende. Data samlades in före, under och efter klassiska musik- och punkkonserter genom deltagande observation. Resultatet visade att solidaritet producerades och reproducerades genom ritualer och symboler som scenerna hade. Dessa ritualer och symboler skapade ett gemensamt fokus, en känsla av samstämmighet och gemensamma kroppsrörelser vilka samtliga bidrog till laddandet av den emotionella energin för scenernas medlemmar. Den i kontexten givna emotionella energin bidrog, i sin tur, till solidaritetsskapande inom scenerna vilket stärkte samhörigheten mellan dess medlemmar.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Titel: Anställdas reaktioner på kulturell styrning inom industribranschen: En kvalitativ studie om hur arbetare med olika anställningsförhållanden reagerar på kulturell styrning. Metod: I denna studie har en kvalitativ metod genomförts med en induktiv ansats. Den teoretiska referensramen bygger på tidigare forskning medan empirin är utförd genom 10st semistrukturerade intervjuer. Resultat & Slutsats: Studiens resultat visar att det finns både gemensamma reaktioner och skilda reaktioner på kulturell styrning. Symboler och ritualer som var gemensamma för de olika anställningsformerna var företagsloggan, morgonmöten, uniformer, vad ledningen symboliserar samt att arbetet symboliseras som ett mellanjobb. Skilda reaktioner var arbetarnas sätt att se på möten och vad de symboliserar samt vad anställningsformen symboliserar. Slutsatsen vi kan dra är att det finns både skillnader och likheter i de anställdas sätt att reagera på kulturell styrning beroende på anställningsförhållanden. Studiens bidrag: Ur ett teoretiskt perspektiv har studien bidragit med de anställdas perspektiv på organisationskulturen i en produktionsorganisation. Den bidrar även teoretiskt vikten för organisationskultur inom företag. Det praktiska bidraget studien kan ge är utökad kunskap om kulturell styrning för företag inom industribranschen och hur olika anställningsförhållanden kan påverka reaktionerna på kulturell styrning. Förslag till vidare forskning: Studien tar upp tre förslag till vidare forskning, att först och främst undersöka flera liknande organisationer då vi valt att inrikta oss på en organisation. En annan intressant aspekt är att undersöka om det finns andra begrepp, förutom organisationskultur som påverkar. En ytterligare aspekt kan vara att undersöka hur globala produktionsorganisationer fungerar i förhållande till de svenska produktionsorganisationerna i och med organisationskultur.Title: Employees´ reactions to cultural steering in the industrial sector: A qualitative study of how workers with different employment conditions react to cultural steering. Method: In this study a qualitative method has been implemented with an inductive method. The theoretical frame of reference is based on previous research, while the empirical work is carried out through ten semi-structured interviews. Result & Conclusion: The results of the study show that there are both common reactions and different reactions to cultural steering. Symbols and rituals that were common to the various forms of employment were the company logo, morning meetings, uniforms, what the management symbolizes and that the work is symbolized as an intermediate job. Different reactions were the workers' way of looking at meetings and what they symbolize as well as what the form of employment symbolizes. The conclusion we can draw is that there are both differences and similarities in the employees' way of reacting to cultural governance due to employment conditions. Contribution of the study: From a theoretical perspective, the study has contributed with the employees' perspective on the organizational culture in a production organization. It also theoretically contributes to organization culture within the organization. The practical contribution the study can make is increased knowledge about cultural governance for companies in the industrial industry and how different employment conditions can affect the reactions to cultural governance. Suggestions for further research: The study deals with three proposals for further research, to first and foremost examine several similar organizations because we have chosen to focus on one organization. Another interesting aspect is to investigate whether there are other concepts, in addition to organizational culture that influence. An additional aspect may be to examine how global production organizations function in relation to the Swedish production organizations in terms of organizational culture.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Blood symbolism is a phenomenon that is commonly processed in literature, especially within the fantasy genre. Siri Pettersen’s fantasy novel Kraften (2016) does not make an exception from this tradition. In this essay I present the different levels of blood symbolism and textual aesthetics within Kraften while focusing on four perspectives: violence, sexual acts, bodily functions and rituals. As a result, I find that blood symbolism has a profound connection to Pettersen’s characters and fantasy universe as a whole; that the particular force affecting the earth can represent the Norse giant Ymir’s symbolic blood. I also find that the contemporary view of blood – menstrual or other – is impacted by ancient cultural traditions and beliefs among the very first humans walking the earth. And finally, that blood symbolism operates very much like the first law of thermodynamics in fantasy literature: it cannot disappear or be destroyed, only be recreated into new forms.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
À l’île de La Réunion, la marche sur le feu est un cycle rituel hindou annuel qui dure dix-huit jours. Rythmé par des prières et des mises en scène, son acmé est la spectaculaire traversée pieds nus d’un tapis de braises ardentes. Les individus choisissent délibérément de se soumettre à l’épreuve du feu, ils se sacrifient en l’honneur de la divinité. Dans le cadre de l’anthropologie de la performance, par l’analyse du cycle rituel et des paroles des pratiquants, cette recherche propose d’appréhender les motivations qui exhortent un individu à s’engager dans cette pratique à l’intérieur de l’univers créole. Elle propose de découvrir les modalités par lesquelles l’individu abandonne l’espace sécure et fait face au risque. L’idée directrice de cette thèse est que l’implication dans le rituel n’est jamais sans réserve, elle est un choix entériné par un désir sous-jacent, plus ou moins conscient, de changement d’une situation que le pratiquant souhaite améliorer ou d’un problème qu’il entend régler. La préparation à l’épreuve demande de plonger dans l’intime, de scruter l’être au plus profond. Le rituel, dans son efficacité, a un impact sur la vie future. La marche sur le feu est, in fine, une réponse à un besoin de l’individu en quête de sens, un outil pour devenir l’artisan de sa propre vieIn La Réunion fire-walking is an annual Hindu ritual which lasts for eighteen days. Rhythmed by prayers and representations, its acme is the spectacular barefoot walk across a pit filled with hot embers. The individuals choose deliberately to submit themselves to the trial by fire, they sacrifice themselves in honour of a divinity. Within the framework of the anthropology of the performance, by the analysis of the ritual and the words of the practitioners, this research analyses the motivations which exhort an individual to commit themselves to this practice in the Creole universe. It suggests exploring the modalities by which the individual abandons a secure space and faces risk. The leading idea of this thesis is that the implication in the rite is never without reserve, it is a choice confirmed by an underlying desire – more or less conscious – of changing a situation which the devout wishes to improve, or of a problem which the devout wants to solve. In preparation for the event, the devout dives deep into the intimate and scrutinises the inner self. The rite, in its efficacy, has an impact on the future life. Fire-walking is, in fine, an answer to a need for the individual who is in search of meaning and a tool to become the artisan of one’s own life

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
L’idée principale de la thèse est l’écoculture, c'est-à-dire une réflexion plus approfondie sur la relation entre l’homme et la nature. Afin d’expliquer cette idée, nous avons analysé certains éléments caractéristiques de la culture traditionnelle, comme : le châtiment, la malédiction, la bénédiction, le serment, la métamorphose, l’empathie, la révérence, la sacralisation etc. Ces éléments culturels ne concernent pas seulement les mœurs et pratiques morales humaines dans la vie sociale, mais aussi bien les relations entre l’homme et la nature. Dans son sens véridique, en dehors de pensée, des symboles et des valeurs, l’écoculture sous-entend également les comportements, les actions concrètes et les autres routines de la vie quotidienne. L’une des conclusions de cette thèse est que les mouvements écologiques au Kosovo, et tout ceux qui prétendent créer une culture environnementale ou bien une conscience écologiques, afin de changer des comportements et des habitudes par rapport à l’environnement, pourraient prendre pour référence l’écoculture traditionnelle albanaise, parce qu’on y trouve beaucoup d’éléments communs avec des éthiques environnementales contemporaines, comme : écologie profonde, écoféminisme, spiritualisme écologique, dark-green religionThe main idea of the thesis is the eco-culture, that is to say, a deep reflection on the spiritual relationship between human and nature. To explain this idea, I analyze some characteristic elements of the traditional culture, such as punishment, curse, blessing, oath, metamorphosis, empathy, reverence, sacredness, etc. These cultural elements do not concern only the mores and ethical human practices in social life, but also the relationship between human and nature. Nowadays, in everyday life, these values are sometimes expressed openly and concretely, and other times latently and not obviously. In addition to thinking, symbols and values, the eco-culture also manifests itself through behavior, concrete actions, and other routines of daily life. Amongst the conclusions of this thesis is that the environmental movements in Kosovo, aiming at changing the habits related to the environment by means of creating the environmental culture and raising ecological consciousness, must refer to the traditional Albanian eco-culture, since the latter has many common elements with contemporary environmental ethics, such as deep ecology, eco-feminism, ecological spiritualism, dark-green religion, etc

Desde a metade do século XX os grupos de ajuda mútua de Narcóticos Anônimos vêm se firmando como uma alternativa terapêutica válida para pessoas que desenvolvem a síndrome de "dependência química". Surgidos como uma dissidência dos Alcoólicos Anônimos, estes grupos utilizam de maneira pragmática o conceito de "adicção" para nomear esta doença e classificam-na como incurável, sendo possível apenas o controle dos sintomas. Desta forma, a sua proposta terapêutica é pautada na abstinência total do uso de qualquer substância psicoativa e em um conjunto de princípios éticos, espirituais e subjetivos que devem ser seguidos pelos participantes com o objetivo de "vivenciarem a recuperação" através de uma mudança radical de visão de mundo. Este trabalho tem como universo de pesquisa a rede de Narcóticos Anônimos da cidade de Porto Alegre. Dentro deste universo empírico um dos objetivos da pesquisa é demonstrar, através da apresentação de quatro histórias de vida de participantes dessa rede, que a categoria "membro de Narcóticos Anônimos" é menos homogênea do que aparenta ser; há espaço para a apropriação instrumental deste universo simbólico e também para a preservação de particularidades subjetivas no processo de incorporação dessa identidade. Outro objetivo é apresentar as implicações da utilização do seu conceito próprio de "adicção" enquanto doença incurável. Finalmente, através de um relato etnográfico, procura apresentar as reuniões do grupo como um espaço marcadamente ritual, mas que preserva momentos de interação e difusão de símbolos também "fora do ritual".Since the half of the twentieth century mutual help groups such as Narcotics Anonymous have been establishing themselves as a valid therapeutic alternative for people who develop the "chemical dependence" syndrome. Emerging as a dissidence of Alcoholics Anonymous, these groups apply a pragmatic interpretation of the "addiction" concept to name that disease and classify it as incurable; they say that only the symptoms can be controlled. This way, their therapeutic approach is based on the total abstinence of any psychoactive substance use and in a set of ethical, spiritual and subjective principles that must be followed by the members with the objective of "living the recovery" through a radical change of subjective engagement in the world. This work's universe of research is the Narcotics Anonymous' network in the city of Porto Alegre. Inside this empirical universe one of the research's objectives is to demonstrate, by the presentation of four life stories of this networks' participants, that the category "Narcotics Anonymous' member" is less homogeny than it apparent to be; there is some space to instrumental appropriation of this symbolic universe and also to the preservation of subjective particularities in the process of incorporating this identity. Another objective is to discuss the implications of using the "addiction" category as a synonymous of incurable disease. Finally, this research presents an ethnographic description of the groups' meetings as composed by a rigid ritual structure, but which also preserves moments of interaction and symbol dissemination that lie "outside from the ritual".

The present paper comprehends a field study of the economic life of the inhabitants of Cariongo village in Santa Rita/MA. For the undertaking of this research we made use of a method which contemplated both qualitative and quantitative data analyses in loco observation and statistics thus, allowing us to interpret that the inhabitants of that village face a situation of crisis in the production of manioc flour, precisely, for having their right to farm their lands revoked by the INCRA, which had intervened in an agrarian conflict between the inhabitants and local grileiros . Therefore, it occurred to us that the inhabitants of Cariongo are now undergoing what we identified as a process of reconfiguration of their economic behavior. The interpretations made thereof were basically conducted by the theoretical and methodological orientation of the economic sociology of Karl Polanyi and Max Weber, apart from the analytical discussion on subsistence economies highlighting the historians Fernand Braudel and Immanuel Wallerstein who defend a rather contrary perspective to that of the neoclassical economic theory in the face of the expansion of the historical capitalism world economy. Thus, the economic field is the ultimate point of the present research and practically of the entire debate, however, there is no intention of limiting the discussion to this field alone, this way, the focus on that social reality also takes into consideration its relation to both political and cultural fields (with analysis of the educational capital) precisely given that we understand the multiple dimensions of social life as undoubtedly inseparable aspects, yet it is not about harmonious relations, the social realm is one of struggle between the agents, a realm of contention between those who dominate and those who are dominated. In regard to this analysis of the political and cultural fields we made use of the theoretical propositions of Pierre Bourdieu with his notion of domination and symbolic violence as means of appropriation of both economic and cultural capital.
Este trabalho ocupa-se de um estudo de campo sobre a vida econômica dos moradores da Vila Cariongo, em Santa Rita/MA. Para a realização desta pesquisa utilizamos o método misto quali-quanti observação in loco e estatística , desta maneira, tornou-se possível interpretar que os moradores daquela Vila enfrentam uma situação de crise da produção de farinha de mandioca, justamente por terem suas terras agricultáveis interditadas pelo INCRA, este que intermediou um conflito agrário entre moradores e grileiros locais . Diante deste problema, percebemos que os moradores do Cariongo enfrentam o que identificamos como um processo de reconfiguração dos comportamentos econômicos. As interpretações aqui realizadas foram conduzidas basicamente pelas orientações teórico-metodológicas da sociologia econômica de Karl Polanyi e Max Weber, além da discussão analítica sobre as economias de subsistência, com destaque aos historiadores Fernand Braudel e Immanuel Wallerstein que defendem uma posição contrária à teoria econômica neoclássica frente à expansão da economia-mundo do capitalismo histórico. Neste sentido, o campo econômico é o ponto nevrálgico da pesquisa e de praticamente todo o debate, no entanto, não há o intuito de reduzir a discussão a este único campo, sendo assim, o enfoque sobre aquela realidade social também considera a sua relação com o campo político e o campo cultural (com análise do capital escolar), justamente por entendermos as múltiplas dimensões da vida social como aspectos indubitavelmente inseparáveis, contudo não se trata de relações harmônicas, o espaço social é o espaço de lutas entre os agentes, o espaço de disputas entre dominantes e dominados. No que se refere a esta análise do campo político e do campo cultural fez-se uso das proposições teóricas de Pierre Bourdieu com a sua noção de dominação e violência simbólica enquanto mecanismos de apropriação do capital econômico e do capital cultural.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Marriage is an institution found in every society, culture or religion in the world. The Catholic Church has maintained most of her seven Sacraments including that of marriage. The Church of Sweden, an established Evangelical Lutheran faith, born out of the 16th century Reformation has two Sacraments excluding marriage. This field study was carried out in Gävle, Sweden in spring 2009. A comparative study of marriage in the Catholic Church and the Church of Sweden and the reason each church alludes to based on scripture and tradition was to help me, an African Catholic, understand differences between the respective churches and also understand why the Church of Sweden accepts same sex marriages. This was my motivation for writing this paper. I hope this paper will serve as a study guide to new people who come to Sweden from other cultures to enable them understand why the “Modus Operandi” regarding church marriage in Sweden is different from the church marriage in their native countries.
