O lugar da teologia na universidade

This paper starts from the current situation of theology, both at the margins and at the crossroads of the university, the Church and society. This situation presents an opportunity for theology, insofar as it is on these very margins and at this very crossroads that it finds the place where it can assert itself as theology. Bearing this assumption in mind, the paper pays special attention to the university framework of theology, whether in relation to religious studies, whether in the correspondence to the epistemology of sciences typical of our current university, or in the internal and external interdisciplinarity of theology.O artigo parte da situação atual da teologia, ao mesmo tempo nas margens e no cruzamento da universidade, da Igreja e da sociedade. Essa situação constitui uma oportunidade para a teologia, na medida em que é nessas margens e nesse cruzamento que encontra o lugar onde se pode afirmar como teologia. Tendo em conta esse pressuposto, o artigo trabalha de forma especial o enquadramento universitário da teologia, seja na relação aos estudos de religião, seja na correspondência à epistemologia das ciências própria da universidade atual, seja na interdisciplinaridade interna e externa da teologia

Linguistica ancilla theologiae. L'intérêt de la linguistique cognitive pour la théologie fondamentale

In the interaction of contextual experience and traditional interpretation, religious language originates and shifts. In this contribution the author investigates whether cognitive linguistics can offer some interesting ideas and thought patterns for a recontextualisation of theological epistemology in our current postmodern condition. Cognitive semantics teaches theology that cognitivity lies in the conceptual framework underlying our approach of reality, and not in a presumed determinate relationship between the logical and the ontological order. Of particular interest is its theory of metaphor, showing that many concepts - mostly abstract ones, like LOVE, GOD - are essentially structured metaphorically, because they are semantically non-autonomous. In five concluding observations, the author sketches how an interdisciplinary encounter with cognitive linguistics can serve theology today, as well as revealing its limitations.Onderzoekseenheid Dogmatische theologie.status: publishe
