PROTAGONISMO E RESISTÊNCIA DE MULHERES NO DISCURSO DE PAULO EM 1 CORÍNTIOS 11 E 14

Abstract

This research proposes a dialog between Linguistics and Theology, the Sciences of Religion that use interpretative methods in textual analysis of the speech and feminist exegesis, investigates the pericopes 1 Cor 11, 2-16 and 1 Cor 14, 33b-35 to clarify what Paul wanted to transmit in his letters concerning the questions of use and customs and ministry of women, respectively. The main purpose was to retrieve women’s voices in their leadership and resistance process in Corinthios in the 1st Century. The dissertation was divided into three chapters. The first exposes the theoretical fundamentation by means of unrestricted use of concepts by the two sciences in the interpretative history of texts, dialogism and polyphony, of Linguistics, exegesis, feminist hermeneutics and fundamentalism of theology embracing still, as a basis, the concepts of gender, culture, symbol and ideology as support, according to Anthropology and Sociology. In the second, presents a brief account about Paul, Corinth and women’s situation in the 1st century, to verify the context in which were written the pericopes under study. In the third, it’s developed the exegesis and analysis of the texts, investigating intra-textual, inter-textual and extra-textual factors, by means of a deconstruction and (re)reading , considering neo-testamentary biblical texts and, also, extra-biblical sources, with comments on the state of the question of each pericope. Yet, it is presented the readings of texts performed by some churches, considering or ignoring their contexts. Finally, it’s by now closed the discussion with the argument that 1 Cor 11, 2-16 and 1 Cor 14, 33b-35 are linguistically contradictory and theologically circumstantial and not normative.
