Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Afro-Brazilian Religiosity and Cultural Practices:
The journal emphasizes the study of Afro-Brazilian religious traditions, such as Candomblé, and their integration into cultural expressions like samba, exploring how these practices shape identity and community. - Historical Narratives and Memory:
A core focus is on the historical representation of religious figures and narratives, examining how cinema and literature interpret and recontextualize the life of Jesus and other religious figures, contributing to collective memory. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
The journal encourages interdisciplinary research, combining methodologies from anthropology, religious studies, and cultural studies to provide nuanced insights into the subjects of study. - Sociopolitical Contexts of Cultural Expression:
Exploring the sociopolitical dimensions of cultural expressions, particularly samba, the journal addresses how these art forms can reflect and challenge societal issues, including race, identity, and politics. - Global Perspectives on Religion and Culture:
The journal also considers global influences and interactions, particularly how religious practices and beliefs from different cultures intersect and are represented in various media.
Trending and Emerging
- Afro-Brazilian Cultural Identity:
An increasing emphasis on Afro-Brazilian identity and its representation in cultural forms like samba highlights the importance of understanding these expressions as vital components of national identity. - Intersection of Religion and Politics:
Recent publications reflect a growing interest in how religious practices intersect with political narratives, particularly in the context of samba as a form of resistance and cultural expression. - Digital and Virtual Representations:
The exploration of digital mediums, such as virtual carnivals and global screens, indicates an emerging trend in understanding how contemporary technology influences cultural practices and religious expressions. - Narrative Disputes in Carnival:
The analysis of carnival as a site for narrative disputes signifies a shift towards understanding cultural festivals as arenas for broader socio-political discussions and conflicts. - Ancestral Connections and Rituals:
There is a notable trend towards examining ancestral connections and rituals within contemporary practices, emphasizing the importance of heritage and memory in modern cultural expressions.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Historical Analysis of Christianity:
There seems to be a decline in purely traditional analyses of Christianity without the context of its interactions with other cultures or religions, as seen in the earlier focus on the historical Jesus. - Comparative Religion Studies:
Although comparative studies have been a feature, there is a noticeable reduction in the exploration of comparative religion without a focus on Afro-Brazilian contexts or cultural implications. - Buddhism in Historical Contexts:
The specific focus on Buddhism and its historical narratives, particularly in relation to Japan, has become less frequent, possibly overshadowed by the more contemporary themes related to Afro-Brazilian culture. - Cinema as Sole Medium:
The journal's earlier focus on cinema as the primary medium for exploring religious narratives is less prominent, as recent publications indicate a broader range of media and cultural expressions being analyzed.
