AS RELAÇÕES DE PODER NAS PASTORAIS DO CATOLICISMO ROMANO PÓS-CONCÍLIO VATICANO II. Um estudo de gênero a partir do trabalho das mulheres na Arquidiocese de Porto Velho-RO.

A preocupação desta pesquisa surge pela necessidade de se estudar a condição das mulheres e a relevância dos seus trabalhos na Igreja Católica e na sociedade atual. Estudar os fatores que possam contribuir ou prejudicar os trabalhos das mulheres se torna de máxima importância para repensar paradigmas pastorais e institucionais discriminatórios, que não são apenas religiosos, mas também culturais. Como no catolicismo romano as ações pastorais são majoritariamente exercidas por mulheres e estas não podem participar da hierarquia religiosa, as nossas pesquisas foram feitas com o intuito de responder a seguinte pergunta: Por que as mulheres insistem em trabalhar na Igreja mesmo sabendo que não poderão participar plenamente dos espaços decisórios? Ficou evidente que não se deva responder a essa pergunta com uma única resposta elaborada por bases teóricas, muito menos por dados apenas quantitativos. O que se pressupõe é a existência de um poder a ser comprovado que é, porém, complexo de ser investigado, considerando-se o emaranhado de relações no qual está inserido. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada na Arquidiocese de Porto Velho-RO e aí percebemos uma dialética: as mulheres, mesmo excluídas de certos trabalhos e proibidas de conquistarem alguns espaços, realizam-se no exercício das suas atividades por conseguirem fazer o necessário para a sobrevivência daquilo que a instituição lhe oferece. Além dos documentos do magistério teológico utilizamos teorias sobre relações de poder, eclesiologia e gênero, principalmente de Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza e Michael Foucault. Repensar cientificamente essa situação e relançar novas perspectivas diante das atuais circunstâncias eclesiais são partes das intenções deste trabalho, que também tem como objetivo buscar, através da hermenêutica de gênero, dados e fundamentos que ajudem a compreender essa situação, já reconhecida nos documentos oficiais da Igreja, mas ainda praticada de forma discriminatória. Portanto, este estudo propõe-se a: conhecer a Igreja Católica em Porto Velho-RO, tanto nos seus aspectos histórico-religiosos quanto nos sócio-culturais; demonstrar os dados e os levantamentos obtidos no campo; contribuir com os estudos sobre as influências históricas que prejudicaram a presença das mulheres no catolicismo; e repensar cientificamente as relações de poder no catolicismo propondo novos discursos e posturas pastorais. Concluindo apontaremos perspectivas que mostram o real poder das mulheres na Igreja, possibilitando a abertura de novos caminhos para as inter-relações e institucionalizações nas pastorais católicas. Enfim, este trabalho quer contribuir para a garantia da presença das mulheres nas esferas de decisão, tarefa de suma importância não só como direito delas nas instâncias religiosas, mas diante da sociedade como um todo. Por isso, com dados empíricos e bases teóricas objetiva-se com este trabalho possibilitar novas discussões sobre a situação das mulheres e a institucionalização do seu poder vigente e real, mas ainda informal e subjugado na Igreja Católica.(AU)

Salud materna y perspectiva de género en el primer franquismo: la colección «Al servicio de España y del niño español»

Se presenta un análisis de las publicaciones de la colección «Al Servicio de España y del Niño Español», aparecidas entre 1938 y 1952 en relación con la salud maternal, el discurso de género, el trabajo femenino y las prácticas del cuidado de niños. La mayor preocupación del régimen franquista en este ámbito fue la política pronatalista y combatir los elevados índices de mortalidad infantil, de los que la ignorancia femenina se consideraba una de las principales causas. Las campañas de divulgación sanitaria estuvieron dirigidas a mejorar la capacitación de las mujeres en la denominada «ciencia materna», culpabilizándolas de esas muertes. La salud de la mujer preocupó porque de ella dependía la salud del niño. El discurso de género favoreció el modelo ideológico de mujer de la Sección Femenina de Falange, Auxilio Social y de la Iglesia Católica.

Diaries of Benjamin Guild, 1776, 1778

These diaries of Benjamin Guild document his travels as a Presbyterian pastor in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The daily entries describe people Guild met and dined with, the food he ate (including strawberries, currants, watermelon, English cherries, and lobster), the funerals he attended, and the sermons he gave. Many entries relate to his health concerns (the ague and eye trouble), sleeping habits, and widespread public health concerns (including smallpox, dysentery, "nervous fevers," consumption, and "putrid fever"). The diaries also contain passing references to the activities of American, British, French, and German soldiers during the American Revolution; the invasion of Canada and battles occurring in New York are noted. In August 1778, after visiting Providence, Rhode Island, Guild comments on the disordered state of the city after American soldiers passed through it. He also recounts a visit by officers of the French fleet to the Harvard College library in September 1778 and describes his dinner on board the French man-of-war, Sagitaire. One entry describes an elaborate ball sponsored by John Hancock, held for French soldiers and "Boston ladies," and another refers to the "incursion" of Indians. Many of Guild's diary entries pertain to his work as a Harvard College Tutor; these entries describe his lectures at the College, meetings with colleagues, personnel decisions, and the examination of students. He also describes books he is reading and his opinions of them, the purchase and sale of books, and his desire to learn Hebrew and French. In addition, multiple entries refer to a man named Prince, who was perhaps Guild's slave. Prince sometimes accompanied Guild on his travels.

L'évolution des voix/voies de femmes dans leurs écrits sur l'Église aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles

Feminist movements have allowed many female authors to become decisive and influential figures in literary history by studying their experiences, voices and forms of resistance. This thesis, however, focuses specifically on religious women, those seeking divine comfort outside the confines of institutional laws, or those who, out of protest, are caught in the middle. Founded on historical and feminist perspectives, this study examines the heterodox resistance of six French women living within or outside of Church boundaries during the 17th and 18th centuries: two eras that are particularly significant for women’s progress and modernity. This work strives to demonstrate how these women, doubly subjected to Church discourse and that of society, managed to live out their vocation (female and Christian) and make social, cultural and religious statements that contributed to changing the place of women in society. It aims to grasp the similarities and differences between the actions and ideas of women belonging to both the religious and secular spheres. Regardless of the century, the space and their background, women resist to masculine, patriarchal, ecclesial, political and social mediation and institutions. In locating examples of how they oppose the practices, rules and constraints that are imposed upon them, as well as of their exclusion from the socio-political space, this thesis also seeks to identify epistemological changes that mark the transition from the 17th to the 18th century. This thesis firstly outlines the necessary feminist theory upon which the project is based before identifying the evolution of women’s positions within the socio-ideological and political framework in which they lived. The questions of confession and spiritual direction are of particular interest since they serve as prime examples of masculine mediation and its issues and consequences – most notably the control of the female body and mind. The illustration of bodily metamorphoses bear testament to ideological changes, cultural awareness and female subjectivity, just as the scriptural inscriptions of unorthodox ideas and writing. The female body, both object and subject of the quest for individual and collective liberties, attests, in this way, to the movement towards Enlightenment values of freedom and justice.

Supporting the Revolution: America, Democracy, and the End of the Cold War in Poland, 1981-1989. ACES Working Paper (Report) No. 8, 2007

Early on the morning of December 13, 1981, General Wojciech Jaruzelski, the leader of the communist Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR), declared martial law, ending the so-called "Polish Crisis," which began with the creation of the Independent Free Trade Union "Solidamosc" in August 1980. Over the next eight years, the Communist government and the opposition struggled over power, culminating in 1989 with the creation of a Solidamosc-led government which ended fifty years of Communist rule in Poland and led the way to further democratic revolutions throughout Eastern Europe. The purpose of this dissertation is to utilize newly available and underutilized archival sources as well as oral history interviews, from both international and American perspectives, to fully chronicle American policy toward Poland from the declaration of martial law until the creation of the Solidarnosc government. Rather than explaining Polish-American relations in bilateral terms, the dissertation illuminates the complex web of influences that determined American policy in Washington and affected its implementation within Poland. This includes descriptions of internal tensions within the Reagan administration, differences between American decisions in Washington and implementation in Warsaw, lobbying from Polish-American groups, clashes between Capitol Hill and the White House, coordination with American labor organizations to support Solidarnosc, disagreements with West European allies in NATO and international financial organizations, cooperation with the Vatican and the Polish Catholic Church, synchronization with American humanitarian organizations working in Poland, limitations caused by the realities of Soviet power in Eastern Europe, and complications caused by domestic Polish concerns. By taking a broad view of American policy and highlighting internal Polish decisions, with both the Communist government and the democratic opposition, the dissertation provides concrete examples of America's role in Poland's transformation, arguing, however, that this role was very limited. These conclusions are relevant to arguments about the end of the Cold War, the nature of American power, as well as current discussions about possibilities to promote democracy within hostile regimes.
