Resumo(s)
A presente tese tem como âmbito a relação entre a crise ecológica e a resposta que a
esfera religiosa tem dado em iniciativas realizadas no contexto da Organização das
Nações Unidas (ONU), uma das mais relevantes instituições internacionais. A crise
ecológica do nosso tempo tem sido teorizada a partir da noção do Antropoceno, muito
especialmente as consequências de grande espectro ligadas às alterações climáticas. A
esfera da religião nunca deixou de incorporar uma visão sobre a natureza, mas desde
finais do século XX tem sido cada vez mais interpelada a assumir um papel à altura de
suas responsabilidades éticas e civilizacionais. O objetivo desta tese é traçar o percurso
da confluência que foi verificada na esfera religiosa institucional e, muito em concreto,
analisar as declarações religiosas emitidas em importantes contextos, como o Encontro
de Assis e outros eventos ecuménicos, que delinearam o processo histórico que
culminou na Iniciativa Faith for Earth, dirigida pela ONU. O método é fundamentalmente
pautado pela análise hermenêutica, desenvolvido no quadro de uma pesquisa
qualitativa que procura compreender as percepções e significados atribuídos à questão
ecológica e climática pelos agentes religiosos estudados. O campo empírico é
constituído por documentação relativa às declarações históricas sobre a natureza, às
declarações inter-religiosas pré-Conferência das Partes (COP) e aos documentos oficiais
emitidos pela Iniciativa Faith for Earth. A ideia fundamental da conclusão é que este
fenómeno desafia as teorias de secularização, sugerindo que a religião, em vez de
declinar, está se transformando e desempenhando um papel na formação de sujeitos
ecologicamente responsáveis.
The scope of this thesis is the relationship between the ecological crisis and the response that the religious sphere has given through initiatives carried out within the context of the United Nations (UN), one of the most relevant international institutions. The ecological crisis of our time has been theorized from the notion of the Anthropocene, particularly regarding the wide-ranging consequences related to climate change. The religious sphere has always incorporated a vision of nature, but since the late 20th century, it has increasingly been called upon to assume a role that matches its ethical and civilizational responsibilities. The objective of this thesis is to trace the path of convergence that has been observed within the institutional religious sphere, and specifically to analyze the religious declarations made in important contexts, such as the Assisi Meeting and other ecumenical events, which shaped the historical process that culminated in the UN-Faith for Earth Initiative. The methodology is fundamentally based on hermeneutic analysis, developed within a qualitative research framework that seeks to understand the perceptions and meanings attributed to the ecological and climate issue by the religious actors studied. The empirical field consists of documentation related to historical declarations about nature, interfaith declarations preceding the Conference of the Parties (COP), and official documents issued by the Faith for Earth Initiative. The fundamental idea of the conclusion is that this phenomenon challenges secularization theories, suggesting that religion, rather than declining, is transforming and playing a role in shaping ecologically responsible subjects.
