La presente tesis indaga acerca del concepto de ministro religioso o ministro de culto en el Derecho de la República Argentina, en una perspectiva comparada especialmente con el Derecho de los países de la región. Para ello se ha investigado tanto la legislación federal o nacional, como la legislación provincial, y la jurisprudencia existente en la materia. Y en la medida de lo posible, también se examina y da cuenta de la legislación vigente en otros países de la región. La hipótesis, que ha podido ser verificada, es que el concepto de ministro de culto es central en la construcción del Derecho Eclesiástico del Estado, dado que prácticamente todas las ramas del Derecho presentan alguna consideración respecto de las personas comprendidas en ese concepto. La pregunta es entonces si ese concepto está suficientemente definido en el Derecho argentino. La conclusión es ambigua. Se advierte en la normativa más antigua una atención casi exclusiva a los clérigos y religiosos católicos, erigidos en paradigma del ministro de culto. Con el correr del tiempo, el ordenamiento jurídico ha ido tomando razón de manera progresiva de la existencia de una variedad extensa de ministros de culto, que no solamente difieren en sus denominaciones sino en sus modos de acceder a esa condición y en su forma de relación con las confesiones religiosas a las que pertenecen. Esa verificación obliga a la construcción de un concepto abstracto de ministro de culto por parte del Derecho estatal, que es una tarea aún en desarrollo y que se ha dado con mayor eficacia en unas ramas del Derecho que en otras. La atención a la diversidad de ministros de culto, como consecuencia de la diversidad y pluralidad religiosa existente en la sociedad, se presenta como una exigencia del respeto debido a la libertad religiosa, y específicamente a la autonomía de las confesiones religiosas, que son las únicas que pueden delimitar el concepto de sus propios ministros de culto.

Genre: Archaeology and history
ISBN: 9780892366354

The Archaeology of Colonialism demonstrates how artifacts are not only the residue of social interaction but also instrumental in shaping identities and communities. Claire Lyons and John Papadopoulos summarize the complex issues addressed by this collection of essays. Four case studies illustrate the use of archaeological artifacts to reconstruct social structures. They include ceramic objects from Mesopotamian colonists in fourth-millennium Anatolia; the Greek influence on early Iberian sculpture and language; the influence of architecture on the West African coast; and settlements across Punic Sardinia that indicate the blending of cultures. The remaining essays look at the roles myth, ritual, and religion played in forming colonial identities. In particular, they discuss the cultural middle ground established among Greeks and Etruscans; clothing as an instrument of European colonialism in nineteenth-century Oceania; sixteenth-century Andean urban planning and kinship relations; and the Dutch East India Company settlement at the Cape of Good Hope.

A survey of the latest scholarship on Catholic missions between the 16th and 18th centuries, this collection of fourteen essays by historians from eight countries offers not only a global view of the organization, finances, personnel, and history of Catholic missions to the Americas, Africa, and Asia, but also the complex political, cultural, and religious contexts of the missionary fields. The conquests and colonization of the Americas presented a different stage for the drama of evangelization in contrast to that of Africa and Asia: the inhospitable landscape of Africa, the implacable Islamic societies of the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires, and the self-assured regimes of Ming-Qing China, Nguyen dynasty Vietnam, and Tokugawa Japan. Contributors are Tara Alberts, Mark Z. Christensen, Dominique Deslandres, R. Po-chia Hsia, Aliocha Maldavsky, Anne McGinness, Christoph Nebgen, Adina Ruiu, Alan Strathern, M. Antoni J.

A sophisticated, state-of-the-art study of the remaking of Christianity by indigenous societies, Words and Worlds Turned Around reveals the manifold transformations of Christian discourses in the colonial Americas. The book surveys how Christian messages were rendered in indigenous languages; explores what was added, transformed, or glossed over; and ends with an epilogue about contemporary Nahuatl Christianities. In eleven case studies drawn from eight Amerindian languages—Nahuatl, Northern and Valley Zapotec, Quechua, Yucatec Maya, K'iche' Maya, Q'eqchi' Maya, and Tupi—the authors address Christian texts and traditions that were repeatedly changed through translation—a process of “turning around” as conveyed in Classical Nahuatl. Through an examination of how Christian terms and practices were made, remade, and negotiated by both missionaries and native authors and audiences, the volume shows the conversion of indigenous peoples as an ongoing process influenced by what native societies sought, understood, or accepted. The volume features a rapprochement of methodologies and assumptions employed in history, anthropology, and religion and combines the acuity of of methodologies drawn from philology and historical linguistics with the contextualizing force of the ethnohistory and social history of Spanish and Portuguese America.
