Resumo: Com base em uma pesquisa perto de Santarém (Pará), o artigo busca questionar a impressão de impermeabilidade entre “santos” e “encantados”, como foi enfatizada pela antropologia amazônica. Analisando as conexões entre as duas categorias, e a sua divisão em subcategorias, sugere-se que sua alternância tece uma narrativa sobre a emancipação dos seres humanos vis-à-vis das forças previamente presentes: depois de ter negociado com os encantados o direito de morar num local, os homens convidam os santos em suas próprias residências, como se a aliança com esses novos protetores permitisse afrouxar o domínio dos antigos mestres do espaço. Nessa história situada, os encantados mapeiam o espaço geográfico vivenciado enquanto santos simbolizam o tecido de relações sociais forjados nele entre os seres humanos.

Este artigo propõe analisar a trajetória dos padres operários da congregação Filhos da Caridade, sacerdotes de maioria francesa que atuaram na diocese de Santos/SP durante o período da ditadura militar. Responsáveis pela rearticulação da Juventude Operária Católica (JOC) na região da Baixada Santista, lidaram com intensa vigilância, sendo três deles presos na data da promulgação do AI-5. Utilizamos como principal referência a análise de parte do conteúdo disponibilizado pelo acervo da Delegacia de Ordem Política e Social de Santos (DOPS Santos), sob a guarda do Arquivo Público do Estado de São Paulo (APESP).

En el artículo se analiza la obra de Nelson Garrido a la luz de la teoría bajtiniana de la carnavalización. El punto de partida es la transgresión iconográfica en la textualización de lo sagrado, particularmente en cuatro puestas en escena de una serie fotográfica dedicada a santos católicos y populares. Estas imágenes proporcionan una visión panóptica de las tensiones y resemantizaciones propias del carnaval y ofrecen un contradiscurso que rehabilita el cuerpo y lo grotesco en la experiencia de lo sagrado.

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo destacar la importancia del estudio de los santos, una tradición muy presente en la cultura devocional latinoamericana. A pesar de que diferentes autores latinoamericanos han destacado su relevancia vinculada al encantamiento de la vida social; debido a la influencia de la sociología proveniente de Europa se privilegió el estudio del desencanto y la secularización, y la devoción a los santos fue poco atendida como fundamento teórico. Desde distintos ángulos de estudio de los santos se pretende valorar su estudio como soporte histórico de ethos barroco como soporte material de la imposición colonial, la resistencia cultural y la creatividad religiosa hasta el presente. Los apartados destacan lo que la gente hace, siente y vive en una comunicación intima con los santos, y la manera en que estas figuras son actantes con múltiples agencias como son su materialidad sensible, su plasticidad estética, su capacidad territorial, su autonomía respecto a lo institucional, sus competencias transgresivas, descolonizadoras y fractales. En suma, se busca reconocer a través de los santos en qué consiste esa “otra lógica” de la religiosidad latinoamericana (descrita por Cristian Parker) que es distinta a la lógica de la secularización occidental propia de los países Noratlántico y que en el presente goza de vigencia para encantar el mundo social.

Presentamos este artículo que es una transcripción de una conferencia que el doctor Luis Tau brindó el 15 de julio de 1978 en la Junta Catequística de la Arquidiócesis de La Plata, como parte de un ciclo de Conferencias sobre los Santos Padres de la Iglesia. La Fundación Santa Ana se ocupó de recopilar estas conferencias y publicarlas en escrito en una colección. Tau fue profesor de Historia de la Filosofía Medieval en el Seminario San José. Es uno de los muchos laicos que pasaron por nuestra casa y dejaron huella en los seminaristas con su sabiduría y su mirada de la realidad.

El reino de Navarra conquistado e incorporado a Castilla (1512-1515) no invocaba a un patrón celestial común, y sus ciudades y pueblos vivían cómodas con sus santos particulares. Elaborar una identidad comunitaria en este punto —lo mismo que acerca del primer poblador, o sobre el primer rey— que, además, distinguiera al reino de los navarros entre los miembros primogénitos de la Monarquía de España, necesitó un largo proceso de decantación y polémicas. Se sucedieron y combinaron alternativas diversas: un mártir bien documentado de la primitiva Galia (Saturnino), su misterioso primer discípulo pamplonés (Fermín), y un navarro canonizado en 1622 (Francisco de Javier). Al final, en 1657, se llegó a un consenso forjado entre la ciudad capital y las instituciones del reino, que ha resultado más identitario, y duradero, que Túbal como patriarca o que García Jiménez como primer rey.

This paper is a reflection on a set of ten images and a Via Sacra conceived by the sculptor Altino Maia (1911-1988), between 1955 and 1957, for the new parish church of São Pedro da Afurada (Vila Nova de Gaia). The study addresses the images in several dimensions: artistic and iconographic, including ordering processes and creation; the anthropological, detailing the community's reception and reaction to these sculptures. Nine of the images were «hidden» in cabinets for long years, removed from the eyes of the faithful, received the popular and derogatory names of «Santos Pretos» or «Santos das Rodilhas» and were even victims of aggression attempts. The sculpture of the Crucified Christ was exhibited on the apse's back wall until 2021 and the Via Sacra continues to be displayed on the north wall of the parish church of São Pedro da Afurada. Based on the documentary and visual sources of the time and the testimony of some inhabitants of Afurada, this paper intends to analyze the circumstances of commissioning and artistic creation, developing an iconographic study of the images, contextualizing them in their time and to understand these object-images (in line with Jérôme Baschet) from an anthropological perspective.

First Plantagenêt kings' veneration of saints and their relics constitutes a part of their politics to construct the «empire» and to strengthen their territorial power basis. First, interest for certain cults fits in with the search for dynastic legitimisation by celestial patronage, while Thomas Becket has become the kingdom's new saint patron. Some relic affairs reflect symbolic of power's translation (Edward the Confessor, Edmund, Martial and Valerie, the elevation of relics at Fécamp, the discovery of Arthur and Guinevere's tombs at Glastonbury). Kings' presence at significant translation ceremonials or their visits to shrines are linked to their territorial politics (St. Michel's Mount, Rocamadour, Grandmont, and the translation of St. Frithswyth at Oxford). At last, relics played an essential role in Richard the Lionheart's crusade expedition. The link between politics and relics cult can be explained by the belief in the virtus materially present in relics; in which their possession and exalting by the cult had to grant celestial protection of the kingdom.

The present article aims to highlight the importance of the study of saints, a tradition very present in Latin American devotional culture. Although different Latin American authors have highlighted its relevance linked to the enchantment of social life; due to the influence of sociology coming from Europe, the study of disenchantment and secularization was privileged, and devotion to saints was little attended as a theoretical foundation. From different angles of study of the saints, we intend to value their study as historical support of the baroque ethos as material support of colonial imposition, cultural resistance, and religious creativity up to the present. The sections highlight what people do, feel, and live in an intimate communication with the saints, and the way in which these figures are actors with multiple agencies such as their sensitive materiality, their aesthetic plasticity, their territorial capacity, their autonomy with respect to the institutional, their transgressive, decolonizing and fractal competences. In short, the aim is to recognize through the saints the "other logic" of Latin American religiosity (described by Cristian Parker), which is different from the logic of Western secularization typical of the North Atlantic countries, and which is currently in force to enchant the social world.

We investigated and compared growth parameters, longevity, mortality (total, natural, and fishing), and exploitation rates of the seabob shrimp Xiphopenaeus spp. in four important fishing regions of southeastern Brazil. The hypothesis that the growth and mortality characteristics of distinct populations differ along a latitudinal gradient was tested. Sampling was performed monthly in Macaé, Ubatuba, Santos/São Vicente, and Cananéia over a 1‐ to 2‐year period. Growth and longevity parameters were estimated by the von Bertalanffy growth equation models. Total mortality (Z) was estimated by length‐converted catch curves. Growth parameters differed between sexes: males reached smaller sizes, showed larger growth coefficients (k) and higher mortality, and lived less than females in the four studied regions. Rather than finding a latitudinal gradient, our results support the hypothesis that distinct local environmental characteristics and fishing pressures alter the growth and population dynamics of Xiphopenaeus spp. in different areas. Our study indicates that the stocks of Xiphopenaeus spp. are overexploited, highlighting the importance of management plans to prevent the collapse of stocks and maintain them at sustainable levels for long‐term exploitation.

Agency activated through exchanges with saints is not simply present or absent. Rather it is emergent, depending on the mode of saints' material and social configurations, and the mood evoked by a specific saint's manifestation. In this essay I consider the history of an Afro-Brazilian saint called Slave Anastácia, as she signifies with varying social effects for different groups of ethno-racial users. I consider how saints become manifest in a given mode, and reduce a particular mood. Mood is inseparable from intangible entities' "presence." In this essay, I leverage such radical disjunctures between the forms of presence generated by the same saint - Anastácia as suffering martyr, as serene helpmeet, as erotic object - to reconsider how saints work at the intersection of mode and mood. By paying attention to saints and mood, I seek to worry over-familiar terms like will and agency. Thinking through mood points us toward material conjunctures and emotional resonances whose agency is diffuse but nevertheless generates predispositions to act in certain ways.

The aim of the article is to given an explanatory overview of canon 1187, starting from the process by which it was drafted. This commentary involves the clarification of a number of key concepts, including the difference between canonization and beatification, private and public devotion, licit acts of devotion to Servants of God and licit public worship devotion to Blesseds and Saints.

Este estudo tem como objetivo explorar algumas dinâmicas contextuais que operaram como relevantes fatores de atração de fluxos de imigrantes a Santos, no litoral de São Paulo, a partir da segunda metade do século 19, com ênfase nas suas últimas décadas. Dos contextos macroestruturais atrelados ao continente europeu e, principalmente, à economia política de São Paulo às evidências históricas em torno do protagonismo santista no eixo das transações comerciais agroexportadoras, direciona-se o foco, neste artigo, a um breve panorama oitocentista que, entre outras razões, justifica o processo de composição de Santos como um território de imigrantes.

A la luz de las recientes investigaciones sobre alteridad religiosa que están floreciendo en los últimos años, queremos realizar una nueva contribución sobre la otredad en el Reino de Toledo durante los siglos XVI y XVII. El presente artículo se ocupa de analizar la imagen del “otro” (musulmanes, moriscos, turcos, protestantes, etc.) en las festividades religiosas de Madrid, Alcalá de Henares y Toledo realizadas entre 1565 y 1622. A través de ellas pretendemos profundizar y aportar una visión renovaba en el análisis del arte efímero producido en las canonizaciones, beatificaciones y translaciones de reliquias, que nos permita comprender como evolucionó y se moldeó la visión del enemigo mediante los mensajes transmitidos por las clases gobernantes.

This study presents a brief overview about the flows of international migrations located in Santos, a coastal city in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, in the transition from the 19th to the 20th century. Therefore, the study identifies the main migratory flows formed in the context of the São Paulo' coffee economy. It was in this historical period that this city made important metamorphoses in its territorial and population composition. The systematization and examination of historiography and primary institutional sources cooperate with the production of this narrative about the multicultural composition that demarcated the urban and demographic identities of Santos since the nineteenth century.

We describe the design, implementation, and performance of a fully automated Santos Operational Forecasting System (SOFS), built to monitor and predict short-term (< 3 days) sea surface elevations, currents, temperature, and salinity in the Santos-Sao Vicente-Bertioga Estuarine System (SSVBES). The SSVBES located at 24.0∘S, 46.3∘W is a complex estuarine system with many interconnected channels and two connections with the open sea. The system is prone to storm tides that bring coastal flooding to and interrupt ship traffic through Santos Port. The SOFS hydrodynamic module is based on the Princeton Ocean Model (POM) version POM-rain. The SSVBES model grid is forced by tides, winds, and river runoff and is nested into a coarse-resolution South Brazil Bight (SBB) grid. The SBB grid is forced by winds, density gradients, and the Brazil Current flowing offshore. Within SSVBES, SOFS works in parallel with three real-time observation stations. The model performance was tested against observed data with a best Willmott skill of 0.97 and root mean square error (RMSE) of 13.0 cm for tidal sea level (15.9% of the mean tidal range). For tidal currents, the best skill and RMSE were above 0.99 and 3.9 cm/s (4.3% of the mean tidal current range), respectively. The coupled system was able to simulate seven storm tides with average skill of 0.95 and average RMSE of 17.0 cm. The good agreement with observed data shows the potential use of the designed system to protect both human life and assets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In light of the recent research on religious alterity that has been flourishing in recent years, we want to make a new contribution on otherness in the Kingdom of Toledo during the 16th and 17th centuries. This article deals with analyzing the image of the "other" (Muslims, Moors, Turks, Protestants, etc.) in the religious festivals of Madrid, Alcalá de Henares and Toledo held between 1565 and 1622. Through them we intend to deepen and contributing to give renewed vision in the analysis of the ephemeral art produced in the canonizations, beatifications and translations of relics, which allows us to understand how the vision of the enemy evolved and shaped through the messages transmitted by the ruling classes.

This paper is the result of research carried out in Rome, Italy, over the period 2016-17, the purpose being to account for 'the model' of Christianization throughout Europe during the 16th Century. One of the main elements of this model was the creation of the Catholic religious identity proposed by Saint Filippo Neri, whose inspiration and example was the Virgin Mary. This article exhibits the vision that led communities, and most of the saints, to identify with it in a human / spiritual relationship. Moreover, it addresses the point of view that many of the sermons were directed at women, designed to convey morality, purity and virginity, as well as promoting the example of being a mother, thus creating a symbol that is supported by myth and reaffirmed in ritual; this is the key to the religious representation and the fundamental role of the Virgin.

This article studies the relationship between the aristocracy of Castile and the saints as protectors in life and in the time of death. From his last wills and the recommendations contained in the treaties of the genus Ars moriendi, points out the differences between the links they have with the celestial world power elites, and the rest of society. Also, discusses the reasons to choose certain Saints as advocates. These are based on the primacy given to Christ environment, the request for assistance to the blessed that help to those who will leave this world to the salvation of the soul, and also to the titular group defenders and the titular saints of churches and monasteries under he lord’s patronage.

En este artículo se analizan los usos de la imagen del desierto en De itinere deserti de Ildefonso de Toledo, una obra breve, elaborada a mediados del siglo VII, en la que se destaca el ideal de austeridad y disciplina de los santos. A partir de la selección y combinación de elementos bíblicos y patrísticos, Ildefonso enfatiza la centralidad del desierto en una obra destinada a impartir instrucciones de salvación a todos los bautizados. En este marco, De itinere deserti invita a indagar los modos de construcción de la autoridad episcopal en el siglo VII en general y en el contexto toledano en particular.

Teresa de Ávila fue proclamada patrona de España en 1618, 1627 y 1812, pero por poco tiempo. El Apóstol Santiago, patrón tradicional, venció en las tres ocasiones. Este artículo explica brevemente los tres episodios, pero sobre todo está centrado en analizar la interpretación de los tres a través de la bibliografía que ha estudiado el tema. Se trata de ver cómo en los últimos años esas interpretaciones han elaborado complejas teorías, en línea con la nueva historia política o con la historia cultural. El artículo estudia y compara esas aportaciones.

Desde 2012 se adelanta en Colombia un proceso de diálogo y negociación política entre el gobierno de Juan Manuel Santos y las FARC-EP, que se propone poner fin al conflicto armado con esta organización y habilitar un camino de reformas del Estado y la sociedad colombiana. El artículo se pregunta por las posibilidades y limitaciones que presentan los diálogos, entendiéndolos como un proceso dinámico que ha construido una estructura de oportunidades particular, en relación con la política nacional en su conjunto. Los diálogos han suscitado reacomodos de las fuerzas políticas, partidistas y sociales, así como divisiones en el bloque de poder, fenómenos que a su vez intervienen en las posibilidades reales de un acuerdo definitivo. A partir del enfoque de análisis de coyuntura, el estudio destaca las razones de la mesa de diálogo, el lugar de la protesta social y los reacomodos en el bloque de poder, configurando un escenario marcado por la emergencia de nuevos movimientos y múltiples retos institucionales.

Cumaceans are benthic crustaceans distributed worldwide, from intertidal to abyssal plains. They live in sandy and muddy bottoms and can sometimes be found in the water column. Despite their ecological importance as food items for fishes and other organisms and their usefulness as environmental indicators, very few studies have investigated their biodiversity and distribution in Brazil. The present paper reports an ecological study of the cumacean species found on the continental shelf off Santos, southeastern Brazil. It investigates the composition and spatio-temporal structure of the communities, the main environmental factors responsible for the maintenance of that structure and analyzes the effects of the seasonal oceanographic changes on the community descriptors. A grid of 21 stations located between 10 and 100 m depth was created in winter 2005 and summer 2006 and the sediment samples collected with a 0.1 m2 box corer. Twenty four species were obtained, five of them being the most numerous: Diastylis sexpectinata, D. sympterygiae, Eudorella sp., Oxyurostylis salinoi and Anchistylis notus, the latter highly dominant in summer. Diastylis sympterygiae was characteristic of the shallowest and least saline stations (< 16 m depth; S = 33.07 - 34.2) in both seasons. Of the total of 919 individuals, nearly 70% occurred in summer. The area was divided into four depth bands and no significant temporal difference was found as regards the density distribution of cumaceans in those bands as between the samples of the two campaigns. There were, however, spatial differences within bands in the summer campaign: the higher values of density, diversity and richness were close to the 50 m isobath in both campaigns, a fact that could well be attributed to the ongoing effect of the South Atlantic Central Water in this area. The results showed also that depth and the sediment particle size were the main structural factors determining the composition and distribution of the cumacean species.

La obra del pedagogo ucraniano Antón Makárenko (1888-1939) es una referencia importante en el estudio de la organización de la escuela como un entorno colectivo. Mediante la transformación de jóvenes infractores en ciudadanos capaces de dirigir la sociedad y sus propias vidas, Makárenko probó que el trabajo colaborativo es capaz de moldear seres humanos solidarios y con responsabilidad social. Este artículo propone una reflexión sobre la perspectiva del autor, desde las actuales prácticas e interfaces comunicación-educación con jóvenes brasileños que conviven con la violencia, las drogas y la pobreza en la ciudad de Santos (São Paulo, Brasil).

Sea-level rise (SLR) poses a range of threats to natural and built environments in coastal zones around the world. Assessment of the risks due to exposure and sensitivity of coastal communities to coastal flooding is essential for informed decision-making. Strategies for public understanding and awareness of the tangible effects of climate change are fundamental in developing policy options. A multidisciplinary, multinational team of natural and social scientists from the USA, the UK, and Brazil developed the METROPOLE Project to evaluate how local governments may decide between adaptation options associated with SLR projections. METROPOLE developed a participatory approach in which public actors engage fully in defining the research problem and evaluating outcomes. Using a case study of the city of Santos, in Brazil, METROPOLE developed a method for evaluating risks jointly with the community, comparing 'no-action' to 'adaptation' scenarios. At the core of the analysis are estimates of economic costs of the impact of floods on urban real estate under SLR projections through 2050 and 2100. Results helped identify broad preferences and orientations in adaptation planning, which the community, including the Santos municipal government, co-developed in a joint effort with natural and social scientists.

Study of the collection of Flemish tapestries owned by Andrés Santos, archbishop of Zaragoza (1579- 1585). The paper makes a first approach to his biography and introduces the new findings of historical documentation for some of these artworks, such as the two tapestries´ series and two heraldic tapestries of the Duke of Calabria that are kept in the Seo´s Tapestry Museum of Zaragoza.

In this paper we try to approach what is commonly known as narcoculture from the point of view of three different aspects; on the one hand, we will scrutinize the narcocorrido from its intrinsic and social meaning, the identification keys based on the exaltation of the life of the capos with this counterculture and the government strategies to prevent its dissemination, in the hope of curbing the communication strategies of organized crime. A second aspect to be dealt with is the role of women as reinas and capos in this business and their irruption in the collective imaginary thanks to soap operas. Finally, the devotion to the narcosantos, Malverde and San Nazario will be addressed. It will be possible to reach the conclusion that narcoculture is an expression of the popular and counterculture in the face of modernity, since it is a product of the land, of compadrazgo, of loyalty and is attached to religion. At the same time, it is a product of capitalist modernity because it is the popular fulfillment of the dream of consumerism and freedom. Narcoculture also represents the idea of postmodernity because life culminates in the moment. We believe it is an exaggeration to assert that the narco culture has replaced the corn culture, but the power of rootedness and attraction that emanates from it should not be underestimated.

The book Bahia de Todos-os-santos: guia de ruas e mistérios de Salvador (Bahia of all-saints: a guide to the streets and mysteries of Salvador), by Jorge Amado (published in 1944), portrays an easygoing and provincial capital of Bahia. The population, which was less than 300 thousand people, moved about in the different celebrations of life. Due to profound urban transformations, the book underwent alterations in the different versions published through the years. However, the underlying structure and the spirit of the book have remained: the production of an encyclopedia of what it means to be/being “baiano” – sceneries, stories, old streets, new avenues, traditions, parties, poverty, joy, churches, candomblé, orishas, and other characters. In its pages, the book presents a real and magical image of a territory permeated by ordinary mysteries. The book has maintained its essence throughout the different editions. Even if the city has changed physically, it remains unchanged in terms of its poetic prose and in the production of a sublime descriptivism of a “black Rome.”

En el Perú del siglo XVII, caracterizado por una intensa religiosidad, los hombres y mujeres virtuosos vivieron en una permanente confrontación con el demonio, la que fue entendida como expresión del conflicto que se daba entre el Bien y el Mal desde el comienzo de los tiempos y que no culminaría sino hasta el término de ellos. El demonio, al intentar la perdición de los "santos", pretendía destruir la obra de Dios, en la medida en que aquellos eran sus elegidos. Pero, por otra parte, el demonio actuaba en estas materias con permiso de Dios, que buscaba de esa manera probar la fortaleza de sus hijos predilectos. En el presente artículo, utilizando los relatos hagiográficos, se analizan esos fenómenos y se describen las estrategias que utilizaba el demonio para hacer caer a los "santos", se examinan los medios a los que estos recurrían en sus luchas y el significado que tenían esas confrontaciones. Buscamos comprender por qué para la sociedad peruana del siglo XVII, y todavía más para los "santos", el demonio mantuvo un protagonismo en la cotidianeidad a lo largo de toda la centuria, mientras que en Europa su imagen tendía a diluirse.In seventeenth century Peru, which was characterized by an intense religiosity, virtuous men and women lived in a permanent confrontation with the devil that was understood as an expression of the conflict between Good and Evil that existed from the beginning of time and would last until the end of time. The devil, attempting the perdition of the "saints", tried to destroy the work of God, because they were his chosen. But, on the other hand, the devil acted in these matters with Gods permission who in this way tried to test the strength of his favored children. Using hagiographic accounts, this article analyzes these phenomena and describes the strategies that the devil used in order to make the "saints" fall. It also examines the means those turned to in their struggles and the meaning that those confrontations had. The article tries to understand why for seventeenth-century Peruvian society, and more so for the "saints", the devil maintained a prominence in daily life throughout the century, while in Europe its image tended to become diluted.

La historiografía nos ofrece una extensa relación sobre las imágenes, reliquias y milagros que garantizaban la «eterna presencia» de los santos en las comunidades andaluzas. Tal creencia, además de expresar las sensibilidades colectivas y la religiosidad popular, constituyó un tema clave que puede ser interpretado como producto de una construcción ideológica, forjada por un discurso, una narración de eruditos laicos y eclesiásticos que, impulsados por sentimientos de orgullo patrio y localista, quisieron exaltar el honor, el ennoblecimiento y engrandecimiento urbano.

A proposta do artigo é analisar o fenômeno peculiar da honraria santoral na comunidade messiânico-milenarista de Pau de Colher (Casa Nova, sertão da Bahia, 1934-1938). A partir de um recorte histórico-cultural e teológico, a investigação será encaminhada no sentido de esclarecer a atuação de uma liderança religiosa, popular e carismática atada a modelos de santidade gestados durante o período medieval no ocidente cristão e transmigrados para o Novo Mundo após os descobrimentos. O texto apresenta documentação inédita e estabelece uma discussão - a partir de obras clássicas e outras referências garimpadas ao longo da pesquisa - em torno da manifestação de santos católicos no interior baiano na década de 30 do século XX. O movimento de Pau de Colher, através da pregação de seus líderes, instituiu um diálogo com uma tradição que remonta às origens do cristianismo; fez crer na ressurreição de personagens como São José, o Carpinteiro e Santa Maria, a Imaculada -, figuras privilegiadas em nosso estudo -; e re-atualizou um conjunto de credos e valores transmitidos pelas mãos de missionários itinerantes e de beatos errantes durante a história do Brasil, revelando um intenso hibridismo entre catolicismo popular e eclesiástico. Palavras-chave: Pau de Colher; santos; sertão; catolicismo; religiosidade popular. Abstract The aim of this paper is to analyze the peculiar phenomenon of the honor saints in the messianic-millenarian community of Pau de Colher (Casa Nova, interior of Bahia, 1934-1938). From a cultural-historical and theological approach, the research will be directed towards clarifying the role of religious, popular and charismatic leadership tied to models of holiness gestated during the medieval period in the Christian West and transmigrated to the New World after the discoveries. The paper presents unpublished documentation and provides a discussion - from classical works and other references panned throughout the research - around the manifestation of catholic saints in the Bahia´s hinterland in the 30s of the twentieth century. The movement of Pau de Colher, through the preaching of their leaders, established a dialogue with a tradition dating back to the origins of christianity; did believe in the resurrection of characters as St. Joseph the Carpenter and St. Mary, the Immaculate - privileged figures in our study -; and re-updated a set of beliefs and values transmitted by the hands of itinerant missionaries and blessed wandering during Brazil's history, revealing an intense hybridization between popular and ecclesiastical catholicism. Key words: Pau de Colher; saints; hinterland; catholicism; popular religiousness.

Hematological alterations in fish are considered a useful tool to evaluate pathological processes resulting from the exposure to environmental pollutants. The whitemouth croaker Micropogonias furnieri is a common species in estuarine areas and potentially exposed to many contaminants. In the present study, the hematological characteristics of fish collected at two sites in Baixada Santista (Santos Estuarine System - SES, a polluted site; and the Estuary of Itanhaém River - EIR, unpolluted site) del was analysed. The following blood descriptors were analyzed: number of Erythrocytes (Er), Hematocrit (Ht), Hemoglobin (Hb), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) and Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). Fish from SES exhibited significant lower levels of Ht and increase on MCHC and Hb. Such differences are likely related to the different contamination levels found in these estuaries.Alterações hematológicas em peixes são consideradas uma importante ferramenta para avaliar processos patológicos decorrentes da exposição a poluentes ambientais. Micropogonias furnieri (Desmarest, 1823) (corvina) é comumente encontrada em regiões estuarinas e eventualmente está exposta a inúmeros contaminantes. No presente estudo foi avaliado o quadro hematológico de indivíduos de M. furnieri coletados na Baixada Santista: o Sistema Estuarino de Santos, considerado poluído, e o estuário do Rio Itanhaém (controle). Foram avaliados o número de Eritrócitos (Er), o Hematócrito (Ht), a taxa de Hemoglobina (Hb), o Volume Corpuscular Médio (VCM) e a Concentração de Hemoglobina Corpuscular Média (CHCM). Nos peixes coletados no Sistema Estuarino de Santos, os níveis de Ht foram significativamente menores, enquanto os níveis de CHCM e Hb foram significativamente mais altos, indicando que os prováveis efeitos estejam atribuídos aos diferentes níveis de contaminação encontrados nos estuários.

Ceferino Namuncurá, declarado Beato por la Iglesia Católica, representa una de las figuras más populares del devocionario nacional. Sus orígenes indígenas y su trayectoria como alumno salesiano fueron determinantes a la hora de relatar su biografía en orden a distintos modelos históricos: el niño santo, cuya matriz reconoce a los niños santos europeos; el “santito criollo” que invisibiliza sus orígenes y lo adapta al modelo nacional, o el “santo mapuche”, que intenta conjugar la santidad con la aboriginalidad. A través del análisis del discurso y de las imágenes en las biografías de Ceferino Namuncurá, a lo largo del siglo XX y XXI, hemos podido establecer la tensión generada entre la aboriginalidad y la santidad en la construcción de su figura.
