A consciência histórica em narrativas de peregrinos: o Santuário de Santiago de Compostela e o Santuário do Divino Pai Eterno

Abstract

This research investigates some narratives of faithful, pilgrims from the sanc tuary of Santiago de Compostela and the sanctuary of the Divine Eternal Fa ther in Trindade. The theoretical approach that underpins this research unders tands the human dimension from the typologies of historical consciousness as a lack of orientation of life (RÜSEN). Temporalities, past, present and future perspectives, are categories for the meaning of what it is to be a faithful pil grim, who narrate common forms of devotion to Christianity. The experiences of this faithful pilgrim, whether male or female, represent the meaning of his lack of orientation given the human absences with losses as well as suffering.
