Pasqualin, F. A. (2018). The (dis)enchantment of intercultural marriage: Brazilian women married to foreign Muslims (Doctoral Dissertation).
Quando o amor se torna assunto de estado: brasileiras envolvidas com muçulmanos estrangeiros via Internet When love becomes a state matter: Brazilians involved with foreign Muslims on Internet R e s u m oEste artigo tem por objetivo uma reflexão sobre o envolvimento, via Internet, de um crescente número de mulheres brasileiras com homens muçulmanos estrangeiros. Nesta era globalizada em que vivemos, a facilidade de comunicação contribuiu para o sucessivo aumento de relacionamentos interculturais que, tanto pode se apresentar cheio de encantos como também repleto de desencantos. Para esta investigação, optou-se pelo método etnográfico convencional e virtual. Como campo empírico convencional de estudo, a pesquisa contou com a participação presencial de brasileiras que possuíam relacionamento amoroso com muçulmanos estrangeiros. No campo virtual, valeu-se de blogs e vlogs de relacionamentos amorosos entre brasileiras e muçulmanos estrangeiros, assim como da participação de blogueiras e vloguers -todas brasileiras que mantinham ou mantiveram relacionamento amoroso com muçulmanos estrangeiros, e, também, do acompanhamento de comunidades no Facebook em que a temática era relacionamento com muçulmanos estrangeiros. Assim, buscou-se compreender este novo cenário amoroso que, nos últimos anos, instalou-se na sociedade brasileira. Palavras-chave: Casamento intercultural. Etnografia convencional. Etnografia virtual. Islã. A b s t r a c tThe aim of this article was to reflect about the growing number of Brazilian women who have become involved with foreign Muslim men on the Internet. In this globalized age in which we live, the ease of communication has contributed to the increasing number of intercultural relationships that can be both full of charm and filled with disenchantment. For this investigation, the conventional and virtual ethnographic method was chosen. As a conventional empirical field of study, the research was conducted with Brazilian women who were in a romantic relationship with foreign Muslims. In the virtual field/world, the study counted on blogs and vlogs about the romantic relationship between Brazilians and foreign Muslims with the participation of bloggers and vloguers, all of them Brazilian women who were or had been in a romantic relationship with foreign Muslims, as well as communities on Facebook where the topic was the relationship with foreign Muslims. Thus, we sought to understand the new romantic scenario that has settled in the Brazilian society over recent years.
This research is a case of an umbanda worship place, the Pai Benedito Spiritist Umbanda Tent, located in the city of Jardinópolis, state of São Paulo. The study aimed, generally, to apprehend the way of life of an African-Brazilian community and specifically to identify specificities and possibilities of construction of meanings open by the resort to the cultural device that states the survival of the dead people and their participation in the social and psychological life of the people alive; to know the umbanda conceptions on this issue. The adopted method was researcher´s participation in the daily life of the group and the systematic register of the narratives involving such reports. For the analysis, no judgment was done regarding the plausibility or unlikelihood of the thesis, since the implied metaphysical-religious belief was not discussed, the study only observed and described its reach on the psychic life and social interaction. Thus, assuming the dead people participate in the social and psychic life of the group, the study aimed to comprehend how this "presence" among alive people creates or modules meanings and possibilities of psychic experiences, as well as how it regulates interpersonal relationships. The ethnographic method was used, permitting an "observant participation" by the researcher, aiming to describe the community "from the inside". The oral history was used as an additional resort to listen to the oral reports. The theoretical consideration of the narrative discourse, inspired in Lacan and Bakhtin, was considered for the analysis, which enable to consider "beyond the narratives". Nevertheless, it was not aimed to drain all possibilities opened by these resorts. It is concluded that the resort of the "dead" as significant and social interlocutor permits abundant and subtle expressive resorts, responsible to strengthen interpersonal and intergenerational ties, and to promote, simultaneously, social inclusion and psychic integration.
Este relato de campo tem como objetivo apresentar uma parte do Movimento Hizmet (ou também chamado de Movimento Güllen) no Brasil, tendo como foco discorrer sobre as famílias que compõem esse grupo no Brasil. Vale dizer que esta reflexão faz parte da pesquisa de doutorado “O (des)encanto do casamento intercultural: brasileiras casadas com muçulmanos turcos” que vem sendo desenvolvida com o intuito de compreender os aspectos étnicos e religiosos existentes no casamento entre uma brasileira (muçulmana ou não) e um muçulmano turco. Tal pesquisa é desenvolvida com base no método etnográfico presencial e virtual. Conhecer as famílias que compõem Hizmet, tanto as mistas como as turcas, e o modo como se organizam é uma oportunidade de pensar um pouco mais sobre o Islã na Turquia, sobre o Islã no Brasil e consequentemente entender o fenômeno dos casamentos interculturais entre brasileiras e muçulmanos estrangeiros
