Abstract

CLISSA, Karina. Sacred oratory and childhood ideal image. Folia [online]. 2016, n.27, pp.75-92. ISSN 0325-8238.

This article analyzes the pulpit as a public space where multiple messages were displayed, during the colonial and postcolonial periods. These messages were designed to instruct the faithful in the spiritual aspects -being such messages thus related to a salvific plan-, but also in exemplary practices and behaviors constructed around archetypes. In this context, preaching used to be based on topics related to domestic existence and the importance of the family in the education of children.

Keywords : Childhood; Sacred oratory; Sermon; Persuasion.
