UM DIÁLOGO INTERCULTURAL A PARTIR DE APOCALIPSE 7,9-17: IMAGINÁRIOS E RELAÇÕES DE LUTAS E RESISTÊNCIAS NO PERÍODO BÍBLICO E NA HISTÓRIA DOS KALUNGAS NO NORDESTE DE GOIÁS

Abstract

This dissertation elaborates an exegesis of the pericope in Revelation 7,9-17, where the vision of the glorified ones and the dialogue with the elder man are registered, making use of the historical-critical method. The analysis also elaborates a comparison of the historical possibilities of resistance, based on an ethnographic study of the Kalungas, in Engenho II, in the municipality of Cavalcante/GO, made through the methodology developed by the Social and Cultural Antropology. For that matter, a portion of this research is bibliographic and the other one is participant observation, both in a dialogue with Religion Sciences, Historical Culture and Social Sciences, aiming to raise issues related to the apocalyptic narratives and folk wisdom. By doing so, the dissertation highlights the tonic of the ones who fight the mechanisms of domination, fear, in search of reconstructing their hope and identities through the access of mystical realities, of the imaginary and symbolic.
