Cristianización del Imaginario y religiosidad de los Indios de Puerto Viejo durante la Colonia

El espíritu de esta investigación es el de desentrañar el proceso dinámico a través del cual se conjugaron la religión y religiosidad occidental cristiana con la religiosidad de los aborígenes en una zona periférica de los Andes Septentrionales. Conocer qué características particulares modelaron estos indios en el contexto de la América andina colonial. A su vez, relacionar esa dimensión cultural, con las prácticas concretas de supervivencia que se realizaban en un lugar dado. En tanto que el período cubierto en nuestro trabajo es el de la Colonia, el espacio concreto es el Partido de Puerto Viejo, perteneciente a la antigua provincia de Guayaquil, ubicada en la costa de los Andes Septentrionales. La tesis está estructurada en función de una cronología de la interacción cultural. El primer capítulo aborda el momento del encuentro/conquista, pero no desde la perspectiva de los hechos, sino de los imaginarios de los europeos y los aborígenes. A través de cada uno de los cronistas europeos, mestizos e indios que dejaron su testimonio sobre Puerto Viejo, buscamos penetrar en su mundo interior para conocer qué tipos de mitos usan para decodificar la nueva realidad de la Mar del Sur, cuyo primer territorio asequible es Puerto Viejo. Luego, qué reconfiguración se producen en sus categorías mentales a causa del impacto de la otra realidad hallada, en el caso de los cronistas occidentales. A través de un segundo capítulo buscamos ubicarnos en la otra orilla y establecer cuáles son los rasgos esenciales de la religiosidad de los indios de Puerto Viejo, vigentes en el momento de la Conquista, tarea aún más compleja que la anterior, porque para ello debemos utilizar los mismos testimonios de los cronistas europeos, aunque apelamos también al de los mestizos e indígenas, los cuales, sin embargo, estás más relacionados con la cultura Inca. En el tercer capítulo tratamos el aspecto del impacto cultural de la Conquista, la iniciación del proceso de evangelización, extirpación y sustitución de idolatrías; introducción de las doctrinas, cultos y otras instituciones religiosas; y finalmente la práctica de rituales. En suma, es en esta parte donde intentamos conocer el carácter de la transición e interacción cultural y qué tipo de religiosidad se deriva de ello en los indios. En un capítulo final analizamos las dimensiones concretas en donde se desenvuelve la religiosidad de los indios de Puerto Viejo. Operamos la relación entre este espacio real biodiverso, donde está la geografía sagrada y las prácticas indígenas para la supervivencia, es decir, las relaciones de producción, extracción, comercio y poder. Así mismo, esas prácticas para la supervivencia nos llevaron a tratar el tema del sistema de saberes que también se inserta en la tupida red que constituye la cultura de los indios de Puerto Viejo. El aspecto de los imaginarios religiosos y luego, la religiosidad misma de los indios de Puerto Viejo durante la Colonia, se tropieza con el problema de las fuentes primarias. No obstante se puede apelar a los cronistas tempranos, entre los cuales utilizamos a los de origen hispano – soldados, sacerdotes y escribanos oficiales -, y a los de origen indígena y mestizo. Varios de ellos mencionan brevemente el momento del primer encuentro y Conquista de Puerto Viejo. Utilizamos también informes oficiales y crónicas tardías para hallar respuestas sobre los siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII. Analizamos igualmente, documentos del Archivo de la Diócesis de Cuenca, que por lo demás, no están catalogados, así como algunas copias de originales que permanecen en La Casa de Horacio de Portoviejo. Así mismo, tomamos eventualmente transcripciones parciales de documentos primarios que aparecen en otros trabajos y cuyos originales no están localizados en los archivos oficiales.

Insurgencia festiva en Oruro-Bolivia. Entre muertos, tolqas, "diablos", morenos y otros "demonios"

A partir de un giro epistémico en mi propio modo de reflexionar y de relacionarme con la dinámica festiva en Oruro, por la necesidad de una comprensión diferente de aquella dinámica, se ha logrado producir un itinerario a partir del cual se recoge el desplazamiento de Francisco Pizarro desde Panamá hasta Cajamarca entre 1523 y 1532. Así, se ha logrado comprender de otro modo el proceso de conquista y los dispositivos instalados para la dominación. Entonces recién fue posible mostrar la consecuencia del “Carnaval”, como encubrimiento festivo en el espacio de Oruro, conocido también como la Serranía Sagrada de los Urus. Junto con lo anterior se ha detectado procesos contestatarios a la dominación colonial, desplegados desde formas locales de producción y reproducción de la vida desde el siglo XVI, de las cuales la última y la más relevante es la insurgencia festiva del Anata Andino en el espacio festivo de Oruro que ha sido consecuencia de la acumulación política en la población indígena asentada en la región adyacente a esta ciudad. La particularidad de la temática, que aborda el proceso de instalación de la idea de “Carnaval” y la fundación de un espacio urbano apropiándose de otro y subsumiéndolo desde la Fiesta Patronal, ha servido para mostrar lo festivo y lo político de manera integral, donde lo cultural se reproduce como práctica y lo político se manifiesta como Horizonte de sentido en conflicto entre dominación y liberación.

O Governo JK e a revista Manchete: a criação do mito dos anos dourados

Os anos entre 1956 a 1961 foram pródigos para o desenvolvimento do Brasil. O governo JK consolidou a industrialização brasileira, criou Brasília e foi considerado um caso singular na política contemporânea, por ser o único governo civil que começou e terminou seu mandato segundo as regras constitucionais, até o período da ditadura militar. Através da rememoração, lembramos de fatos históricos, que através da narrativa da revista Manchete, contribuíram para a criação de uma imagem positiva de Juscelino Kubitschek e de seu governo. As edições constantes de sua imagem de grande estadista justificam a existência, na memória coletiva, do mito político. Sua trajetória foi caracterizada por sua simpatia, seu poder de persuasão e pela força de sua oratória durante o seu governo e posteriormente calada pela ditadura militar, implantada no Brasil em 1964. Manchete deu forma, através de suas fotorreportagens, aos acontecimentos de um país em acelerado processo de desenvolvimento, contribuindo desta maneira, com a criação do mito dos anos dourados.

Natal como destino turístico : um estudo das imagens (re)veladas pela mídia, pelos turistas e suas implicações educacionais e culturais

This thesis is a result of a research on Natal/RN as a tourist destination. We understand that cities are chosen as tourist destinations beyond its cartographic localization, from other dimensions of meanings that, in its set, constitute images. These images are, probably, very different of the images constructed by native and resident populations, who possess relations of identity with the place. The knowledge of the meanings that others attribute to this city as tourist destination, bring us near to the symbolic bonds established by individuals or social groups on the act of their choices, as well as bring us near to the interaction process city-tourists where the expectations are confirmed or not. The images divulgated by the media also participate of the complex formation of the tourist image that is being constructed and available for the different public, in different social contexts. The tourism constitutes a symbolic asset of the modern society, being considered by the studious, as one of the most expressive phenomena of the modernity, for involving each year displacement and the interaction of thousand of people of different cultures in the entire world. All this people s mobilization points to practical social related to personal motivations, to the entailed desired to the idea to travel and to exceed borders. It is already consensus that tourism is a phenomenon of economic growth, generating jobs, income, professional, qualification, bringing improvements for the host cities. Since 1995, in Brazil, the tourism as a sector of the economy, passed to be considered one of the national priorities, and in this perspective, the national politics of the tourism invested in infrastructure of Brazilian cities with high tourist potential, objecting to increase the flows of Brazilian and foreign tourists. Owing to this fact, the country still invests in programs of tourist marketing, mainly divulging the images of the natural beauties of Brazil abroad. And for Brazilians, the campaigns appeal to rescue the feeling to be Brazilian, associating the idea to travel and know its country. Natal city possesses an excellent positioning in the tourist marketing, being predominantly divulgated in national and international level, for its naturalistic singularity, where the images of its natural enchantments as warm water beaches, white dunes, warm weather, constant breeze and an always blue sky are shown as the favorite scene on this city. From what was viewed above that the choice of a tourist destination articulates from a determined imaginary of a place, already constructed or in process of construction, we consider the knowledge of this imaginary a basic learning for the population of the city and especially, for educators, in the formation of professionals in this area and for tourism managers, elaborators of public politics. Based on this estimative, we developed this research that had as a general objective to identify the images that illustrate Natal city as a tourist destination - our objective of study, particularly the meanings and senses attributed by the tourist marketing (hotel s folders) and by the tourists that visited the city during this study. The discussions and reflections that had guided this research had been given from the theoretical link between imaginary and social representation, also considering some interfaces between the fields of communication and symbol. From the studied authors, Baczko (1985) clarifies that the study of social imaginary is directed for the mechanisms and structures of the social life, especially for the intervention accomplishes and efficient of the representations and symbols in the practical collectives, as well as in its direction and orientation . Following this same thought, Moscovici (1978) says that the social representation are produced in communicational and symbolic contexts, and these representations once that already constituted circulate socially as almost tangible entities. Based on this fundament and on the analyze of Barthes (1990), particularly in the approach given to the reading of photographic image, we could observe on hotel s folders that each page evidences senses and meanings of functionality of internal and external spaces, pointing to the way of leisure offered by the keepers of city which is the hotels. About, the leisure that they offer, it is directed to young public, giving meaning to the young myth of personalized leisure tourism on children, young and adults images. The image about security that hotels offer and the singular image of Natal city as a paradise place, provide an idealization of pleasure through the sun, dunes, and beaches and also due to the hospitability of the natives who are assigned as educated . For the tourist that participated on this research, Natal city is tied only by the imaginary of leisure and nature which constitute the emotional link of the relation media-city-tourist. And with such force and fullness of directions the city discloses without tensions and contradictions as a place protected by a mythical and sacred aura. The study also demonstrates us that the potiguar culture remains (almost) forgotten, due to the silenced in this imaginary. In this perspective, we highlight that this culture silence is very close related to the disvalue of education in its general meaning. We defend that the imaginary apprehended constitutes a new reading and a new looking and understanding the tourist reality that comes historically consolidating in this city. In this direction, we glimpse that this study and its future dismemberments can collaborate with the process of rescue the cultural values of the potiguar people, in the way that the meaning of tourist may be redefined, and the tourist image of the city can be also disclosed for its identities particularities of its culture

O púlpito como cátedra: retórica e educação nos sermões do Pe. Antônio Vieira (1608-1697)

This work aims to analyze the relationship among culture, education and rhetoric on the sermons of the Priest Antonio Vieira (1608-1697). It discusses the presence of oratory on the Western teaching since its Greek origins until the formation of the Ratio Studiorum in 17th-century. Brazilian society is defined as baroque and the rhetoric arises as element essential in the elaboration of the social imaginary speeches and, occupying as an essencial element in the elaboration of discursese and social imaginaries, occupying the centre of controversies, about questions like reason and the faith, ethics and the politics, the nature of the Indian and African peoples, even over the own construction of the modern subject. In this context the vieira´s preaching discharges the functions of kerigma (preaching), didachê (education) and politics (action). The research consisted in a finicky reading over five of these sermons that were returned in the presence of different audiences. The pulpit was the cathedra where Vieira used his sermons as a manner of social mobilization that aimed not only teaching a determined knowledge of reality, but altering cruel situations like Indian and poor people slavery in his epoch. Education by Vieira consist in a tension between utopian hopes and urgencies of practice. The rhetorical tradition affirms the interdependence of technical ethics and politics aspects. To know is not enough is necessary to convince and to move, realizating passage from theorical to practical liverly. It presupposes still the preoccupation with the solidity of argumentation and of reasoning, a wide cultural formation, the requirement of a civic ethics and, mainly, the adequacy between content and the specifics of audience

A retórica em Aristóteles: da orientação das paixões ao aprimoramento da eupraxia

This research brings into focus the relationship between the work Rhetoric, from Aristotle, and the conceptions of ethics and practical wisdom of the philosopher from Stageira. Accordingly, it attempts to show that Aristotle's Rhetoric was produced to guide the construction and orientation of oratory passions of the Greek man, setting it as a reference for practices aimed at social ordering of the polis. In other words, the Aristotelian Rhetoric, designed by the author as the study of what is persuasive in every speech, is not composed with the meaning of persuasion at any cost, in another sense it is conceived by Aristotle as a useful knowledge for the improvement eupraxic (the good act in accordance with the fair and true). This research finds that such work has been prepared by Stagirite a time of strong social transformations and upheavals in ancient Greece: The skepticism expanded, with each person wanting to live their own businesses, and especially in Athens, a city that served as intellectual and political reference, there was a lack of collective spirit. In this tumultuous social environment, Aristotle, with a culture of Greeks eager Trusted reviews and socially shareable in the field of verisimilitude, sought with his Rhetoric, contributing to the development of ethics and political science; referrals for legal and organization of inter-social relations in varied environments, including seeking to provide knowledge about human passions and emotional status of active citizens in deliberative meetings

A coleção mossoroense e a construção dos mitos: Dix-Sept Rosado, o herói imolado

This research comprises a study on the values and ideals attributed to Dix-sept Rosado, by the Coleção Mossoroense journal. Local researchers demonstrate how the Coleção Mossoroense constructs an image of Mossoró, forming in the members of the city an identity with the place, a social cohesion or creating one forms to see and to say about the Mossoró city. The Coleção Mossoroense, through Vingt-un Rosado together with its family, established a form of seeing and identifying of the Mossoró s population with the city, just because it associated and it was, at the same time, a movement at the same time social (civic parties for example), political (the domination of the Rosado s family) and cultural (the books and theatrical parties about the city). The conjunction of the Coleção Mossoroense as and with a social movement, cultural and political was capable to establish a social identity, a subjective constituent . With this background, it was possible to make a study of the image attributed to Dix-sept Rosado, by the Coleção Mossoroense, through an analysis of the inherent discourse in the works by Bakhtin (1989) and Bourdieu (2000), of and on Dix-sept Rosado in the Coleção Mossoroense based on. The image of Dix-sept Rosado was constructed by the Coleção Mossoroense after its death, and the responsible for this was Vingt-un Rosado, which was the chief-editor of the Coleção Mossoroense up to 2006, year of its death. The Coleção Mossoroense built an image of Dix-sept Rosado as an enterprising man, progressive and innovator, of great capacity of leadership and oratory (a conductor of the crowds ), popular and charismatic, an honest and dynamic politician. This image made by the Coleção Mossoroense, although when enhancing in surplus the qualities of Dix-sept Rosado have as objective to transmit an image of a heroic personage, it has some relation with the reality. Dix-sept Rosado was a man identified with its locality. This can resemble a regional nationalism. The attitudes of Dix-sept Rosado must be understood inside of a broader social context, of a time marked by the populist politics. Qualities also appreciated and developed inside of a specific historical context and determined both national and locally. The Coleção Mossoroense enhances the qualities of Dix-sept Rosado so that the current politicians of the Rosado s family can establish a link of continuity in its contemporary political practice

Historical aspects of Belly Dance and its practice in Brazil

Dance is regarded as one of the oldest art forms, which is based on evidence from prehistoric paintings found in caves; man expressed himself through body language prior to the development of spoken and written forms of communication. Dance was then used during important events, common to their era and culture, and often in religious rituals, to ensure good harvests - their economic activity. Belly-dance appeared approximately eight thousand years B. C. E. as a sacred dance firstly practiced by priestesses, and after that, it was popularized amongst women from Mesopotamia. Virtually considered an ancient form of physical exercise, it is still practiced by Bedouin women as a preparation for spontaneous delivery. In Brazil, belly-dance is widely practiced and our corporal culture enables its learning and improvement, resulting in professional dancers.
