“…No cenário internacional, sua obra tem sido utilizada para análise de outros fenômenos urbanos como a religião (Engler, 2006;Roca, 2007), a organização do espaço e as relações sociais (Freeman, 2002;Iwata & Rio, 2004), além do destaque para a importância de suas análises para o desenvolvimento das ciências sociais no Brasil. Ainda que sua disciplina de base seja a antropologia, acreditamos que seus conceitos permitem um aporte interdisciplinar articulando os sujeitos, grupos e organizações, permitindo uma interlocução com os objetos da discussão teórica e metodológica nos estudos de carreira.…”

Resumo Este trabalho objetiva apresentar e discutir os conceitos de Gilberto Velho, bem como a forma pela qual estes possibilitam o aprofundamento teórico e novas perspectivas para os estudos de carreira, com vistas a uma elaboração interdisciplinar para compreender carreiras de indivíduos ou de coletividades. Para tanto, revisamos as noções de Gilberto Velho sobre projeto, campo de possibilidades, negociação da realidade e metamorfose, bem como as noções de carreira, com especial enfoque no interacionismo de Everett Hughes. Com a análise dos entrelaçamentos conceituais expostos, avançamos na discussão teórica dos estudos de carreira apresentando: como o campo de possibilidades se relaciona com os aspectos objetivos e subjetivos de uma carreira; como os conceitos de negociação da realidade e metamorfose permitem analisar conflitos e dilemas que emergem do sujeito que transita por diferentes mundos; como a noção de projeto pode ser vinculada à recursividade entre indivíduo, grupo e instituição; e como a memória pode ser utilizada como conceito de dinamismo temporal para a compreensão da carreira. Destas conjugações, propomos uma nova noção de carreira. Por fim, apresentamos uma agenda de pesquisa necessária para ampliar, aprofundar e aperfeiçoar os conceitos arranjados e propostos neste artigo.

“…This tendency of bounding up in itself is also characteristic for the non-theological study of religions in Brazil. This is understandable when one takes the richness of Brazil's religious landscape into account (Engler 2006), but it is contentious with the disciplines' commitment to the historically and geographically universal study of religion. The study of issues related to the Asian continent and more specifically to Japan is, in the great majority of cases, motivated by the solution of contemporary problems predominantly in the areas of international relations or economics (Oliveira and Masiero 2005).…”

Japanese Religions in Brazil 1 T he date of the publication of this special issue on "Japanese Religions in Brazil" coincides with the centenary festivities of Japanese immigration to Brazil. On a number of occasions throughout the year, including 18 June-the day of the arrival of the vessel Kasato Maru in 1908 in the port of Santos (Federal State of São Paulo) with the first seven hundred and eight-one immigrants on board-the Japanese-Brazilian community will be celebrating the successful integration of its members into Brazilian society. They have contributed to virtually every aspect of life in a country that, at the beginning, was considered only a temporary location, but after World War II became the permanent home for the majority of the immigrants and their descendents. The centenary is a welcome opportunity for the Japanese religious establishment in Brazil to reflect upon their past and present status. In many cases the retrospective transcends the institutional existence of the groups, but also reflects the appreciation of their "pioneers" who, under precarious material and socio-political circumstances, prepared the ground for the establishment of their respective religious organizations in Brazil. In this sense, adequate light has been shed on the time before World War II, a significance that is often neglected in the face of the wave of the institutionalization of Japanese religions in the 1950s. This is true even for Shinto, although the heterogeneous composition of the colonies did not foster rituals associated with a local shrine. Instead, collective
