This article considers the theme of discernment in the tradition of Ignatian spirituality emanating from the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), the founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). After a brief introduction which addresses the central problematic of bad influences that manifest themselves as good, the article turns to the life and work of two Jesuits, the 16th C English missionary to India, Thomas Stephens and the 20th C French historian and cultural critic, Michel de Certeau. Both kept up a constant dialogue with local culture in which they sought authenticity in their response to ‘events’, whether a hideous massacre which shaped the pastoral commitment and writing of Stephens in the south of the Portuguese enclave of Goa or the 1968 student-led protests in Paris that so much affected the thinking of de Certeau. Very different in terms of personal background and contemporary experience, they both share in a tradition of discernment as a virtuous response to what both would understand as the ‘wisdom of the Spirit’ revealed in their personal interactions with ‘the other’.

Este artigo trata das relações entre carcereiros e presos políticos mantidos pela ditadura civil-militar no presídio cearense Instituto Penal Paulo Sarasate (IPPS), na década de 1970. Tem como pressuposto teórico a noção de Michel de Certeau sobre fronteira, entendendo-a como um terceiro espaço que permite a existência de contatos, pontes e influências entre grupos sociais distintos. Buscamos compreender como as relações com os agentes prisionais contribuíram para as reconstruções de identidades e projetos políticos dos militantes de esquerda armada. Os distanciamentos sociais e os estereótipos pelos quais se viam presos e militantes foram, aos poucos e em partes, sendo removidos ante a convivência intensa na fronteira. Os carcereiros acabaram percebendo as distinções dos militantes encarcerados em relação aos presos comuns. Os ativistas buscaram o contato e diálogo com os carcereiros como forma de tentar minimizar o isolamento que a ditadura almejava lhes impor e melhor as condições de existência dentro dos cárceres. Agentes prisionais prestavam pequenos favores aos militantes, chegando mesmo a serem influenciados politicamente por estes. As violações de fronteiras, não obstante, igualmente provocaram tensões e atritos.

This chapter analyzes the Jesuit missionary tradition of studying local customs and languages, which is known as “Jesuit anthropology.” By looking into some of the foundational Jesuit texts, the goal is to show how knowledge of non-Christian peoples had been constructed around the metaphor of “living books”: a “stranger” was a book, which the missionaries needed to decipher. From the information, observation, and expertise developed informally in all missionary fields, some Jesuits produced texts—some published but mostly remaining in manuscript—that were and still are considered important pieces in the European library of knowledge. The need and desire to know others was, of course, linked to religious goals: translating Christian message, administering sacraments, fulfilling divine will. From Francis Xavier to Michel de Certeau, the chapter addresses a set of Jesuit perspectives on alterity. They document the richness of interactions between the Jesuits and the local actors, but they always have to be read in light of the Jesuit project of religious conversion.

Discute as práticas de cura, especificamente remédios e ervas, utilizadas pelos cangaceiros do Nordeste brasileiro, na virada do século XIX para o XX. Na análise, recorre-se aos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da nova história cultural e dos estudos culturais, em diálogo com Michel de Certeau e Stuart Hall, entre outros. Problematiza o modo como os cangaceiros recorriam, em seu cotidiano, a mezinhas, chás, orações a santos católicos, além de produtos da farmacopeia regional, para alcançar a cura e o bem-estar do corpo. Observa como os espaços de cura são recriados e os saberes populares, subjetivados na geografia do cangaço.

This article seeks to connect political geographic scholarship on institutions and policy more firmly to the experience of everyday life. Empirically, I foreground the ambiguous and indeterminate character of institutional decision-making and I underscore the need to closely consider the sensory texture of place and milieu in our analyses of it. My examples come from the study of diplomatic practice in Brussels, the capital of the European Union. Conceptually and methodologically, I use these examples to accentuate lived experience as an essential part of research, especially in the seemingly dry bureaucratic settings. I do so in particular through engaging with the work of Michel de Certeau, whose ideas enjoy considerable traction in cultural geography but are seldom used in political geography and policy studies. An accent on the texture and feel of policy practice necessarily highlights the role of place in that practice. This, in turn, may help us with communicating geographical research beyond our own discipline.
