A mãe sagrada unindo tradições: uma análise fenomenológica do sincretismo religioso brasileiro

Abstract

We treat this thesis the relationship between the Brazilian recognized as the sacred feminine, from this central theme touched on cross-cutting issues such as syncretism, gender, religious experience, interfaith dialogue, Ethos, and to discuss the viability of a science of religion, there thinking its epistemology and its methods of inquiry. The complexity of the proposal led to a structure that divided the text into two parts: first there are the more theoretical discussions, the epistemological and methodological field, try to anchor there in the thoughts of the Phenomenology of Analytical Psychology of Jung, in Psychology James and pragmatic structuralism, seeking some concepts serving as benchmarks to think the religious experience of Brazil with this sacred feminine. In the methodological field try to present an open dynamic, involving a number of different research as participatory research, ethnography and data collection for quantitative analysis. In the second part of the work dedicated to the analysis of the experiences observed in the field, looking to make the link with the concepts proposed in the first part, then to be able to build an understanding of the importance of the sacred feminine in the constitution of the Ethos of our people. The expression of the sacred feminine is more than a whim; presents itself as a force of resistance and as a need for people who are in this expression an identity and a sense of possibility for their religiosity.
