MANDRÁGORAS: MITOS E ASPECTOS DA CULTURA DE ISRAEL A PARTIR DE GÊNESIS 25 A 36

A sexualidade de Lea e Raquel, o útero, as mandrágoras e o corpo de Jacó são fatores que definem o alicerce do nosso texto como espaços de diálogo, mediação e estrutura do cenário. O destaque principal está sob o capítulo 30.14-16 que retrata a memória das mandrágoras. Como plantas místicas elas dominam o campo religioso e como plantas medicinais elas são utilizadas para solucionar problemas biológicos. As instituições e sociedades detentoras de uma ideologia e de leis que regulamentam uma existência apresentam na narrativa, duas irmãs, mas também esposas de um mesmo homem que, manipuladas por essa instituição que minimiza e oprime a mulher, principalmente a estéril, confina-as como simples objeto de sexualidade e mantenedoras da descendência por meio da maternidade. A memória das mandrágoras é sinal de que a prática existente circundava uma religião não monoteísta. Ela existia sociologicamente por meio de sincretismos, força e poderes sócio-culturais e religiosos. Era constituída das memórias de mulheres que manipulavam e dominavam o poder sagrado para controle de suas necessidades. O discurso dessas mulheres, em nossa unidade, prova que o discurso dessa narrativa não se encontra somente no plano individual, mas também se estende a nível comunitário, espaço que as define e lhes concede importância por meio do casamento e dádivas da maternidade como continuidade da descendência. São mulheres que dominaram um espaço na história com suas lutas e vitórias, com atos de amor e de sofrimento, de crenças e poderes numa experiência religiosa dominada pelo masculino que vai além do nosso conhecimento atual. As lutas firmadas na fé e na ideologia dessas mulheres definiram e acentuaram seu papel de protagonistas nas narrativas 9 bíblicas que estudamos no Gênesis. A conservação dessas narrativas, e do espaço teológico da época, definiu espaços, vidas, gerações e tribos que determinaram as gerações prometidas e fecharam um ciclo: o da promessa de Iahweh quanto à descendência desde Abraão. Os mitos e as crenças foram extintos para dar espaço a uma fé monoteísta, mas a experiência religiosa

"Another Way": The Pneumatology of Deleuzean Minoritarian Communal Interpretation in Scripture, the 16th Century Radical Reformation, and Alternative 21st Century Anabaptist Community

This dissertation proposes a constructive theology of the Holy Spirit called the "pneumatology of minoritarian communal interpretation," the alternative creation of meaning within an oppressive majority context. It illustrates the convergence of Deleuzean philosophy with Anabaptist pneumatology and media communal interpretation theory in three particular locations: 1) selected mentions of the Holy Spirit in the Hebrew Bible and Christian New Testament; 2) the 16th century Radical Reformation; and 3) "Another Way," a 21st century alternative Anabaptist group focused around the spiritual discussion of art and popular media. Chapter One outlines the three theories. Chapter Two examines the Holy Spirit in the Hebrew Bible, particularly 1 Samuel 8, the book of Ezekiel, and the Gospel narratives. Chapter Three examines the pneumatological writings of the Radical Reformers, concentrating particularly on their theologies of the intersection between church and the surrounding majoritarian culture. Chapter Four outlines my original field research with Another Way, and examines the tension between minoritarian communal interpretation and the 21st century semiotic regime. Chapter Five then summarizes the conversations between theory and illustration to propose the pneumatology of minoritarian communal interpretation for Christian theology.

Análisis traductológico de la obra paremiográfica de Charles Cahier, (francés-español)

This thesis contains a translatological analysis of the Spanish proverbs collected by Charles Cahier in Quelque six mille proverbes et aphorismes usuels empruntés à notre âge et aux siècles derniers. Proverbs and other sententious sayings are part of our day-to-day life, and are more or less intensely used according to cultures and their types of speech. They have always existed in every single civilisation. There is, indeed, no denying that the purpose of proverbs is to convey an old experience. They are quoted by major philosophers and writers of all times. As a result of the interest they have raised, books of proverbs have been published for many centuries in a high number of countries. Proverbs can be found everywhere, both in professional and personal settings, or in a conversation between friends. In France, these sayings are more commonly used in literature than in spoken language, whereas in Spain proverbs can be found at all levels of communication. In this regard, it is interesting to compare the translations of international works to detect a number of misunderstandings regarding the interpretation of paremiological elements. This is why translating proverbs is a genuine, complex issue. This thesis, which is aimed at Spanish and French speakers (including native and foreign speakers), has a double application (translatological and linguistic) and falls within the context of translatological and comparative paremiology...

Independencia y fórmulas rutinarias: Reestructuración de la Esfera III

Este trabajo aborda el análisis de las unidades fraseológicas, en concreto, las fórmulas rutinarias conversacionales, según su grado de independencia, con el fin de reestructurar la Esfera III (Corpas, 1996), en la que se encuentran los enunciados fraseológicos, paremias y fórmulas rutinarias. Para ello, atenderemos al sistema de unidades que propone Briz y el Grupo Val.Es.Co. (Briz & Grupo Val.Es.Co., 2003, 2014) para la segmentación de la conversación. Con este sistema comprobaremos que los enunciados fraseológicos mostrarán diferentes grados y tipos de independencia que permitirán reestructurar la Esfera III. La metodología empleada se corresponde con el enfoque fraseológico y pragmático, y los ejemplos se han extraído del Corpus de conversaciones coloquiales (Briz & Grupo Val.Es.Co., 2002).
