Rasto do invisível

: uma leitura teológica da mística a partir de Michel de Certeau e de Maria Clara Bingemer

Abstract

After analyzing the anthropology of belief and the respective effects on the process of “folklorization”, we propose a work definition relative to the consequences of the fable, as a poetic presence between the humans in tale of Christ. In fact, the fable allows us to rehabilitate His presence in voice and body, God inhabiting the world. Such was the perspective taken to observe the mystic. Not as a phenomenon, but through its consequences, as involvement with the world and the daily lives of men. This path materialized itself under the helm of Michel de Certeau and Maria Clara Bingemer. Finally, we approach concept of mystic in its relationship with the daily lives of men, as this is patent in the fable. And, thus, we are confronted with the new task of theology, and also the mystic. In reality, we come back to body, in which most mystics willfully inhabit live creation of excess.
