O Conselho Estadual do Povo de Terreiro: religiões afro-brasileiras e políticas públicas no Rio Grande do Sul by Marcelo Tadvald, Francisco Abrahão Gonzaga

“…Following, we argue about some persecutory actions by local parliamentarians in recent years (2003, 2005, 2015), which sought to restrict liturgical practices that involve the free exercise of afro-religions in Rio Grande do Sul starting from a historical and present discussion and from references from the field of social studies of religion, thus seeking to situate the case of CPTERS within a larger framework of analysis involving themes such as ethnicity, racism and religious intolerance.…”

“Bildtapeten” and the conservation of medieval wall paintings at the turn of the twentieth century in Germany by Ursula Schädler-Saub

German examples with so called “Bildtapeten” (picture wallpapers) illustrate such a clever compromise: roller blinds with fully integrated versions of the scenes depicted in full size on paper, were mounted on the walls over the fragmentary wall paintings; they could be raised for the experts and lowered for the general public. …”

Hagiographie liturgique et construction identitaire dans un néo-diocèse (XVIIIe-XIXe siècles). Le Proprium Sanctorum dans les bréviaires des diocèses français créés sous Louis XIV... by Philippe Castagnetti

“…The choice criterions of these saints and the litterary schemas used in matins for the biographical pieces reveal how the Church wants to keep the spirit of Counter Reformation alive by remembering the sacral mission of the king of France, increasing the conversion enterprise of the Huguenots and magnifying the cult of relics. Liturgical hagiography allows the constituting of an official religious memory in the clergy of each diocese and makes the idealization and standardization process of holiness easier. …”
