O uso das tecnologias digitais, atualmente é aplicado nas atividades clínicas e no envolvimento direto dos clientes. A saúde digital é uma das ferramentas cujo desenvolvimento trará grandes benefícios tanto ao nível da qualidade dos cuidados em saúde. Este artigo foi baseado na análise de dois artigos com o intuito de analisar o Empowerment do cliente e a Governance em saúde digital. Pretende-se com isto compreender estes conceitos e a sua aplicação. No entanto, é preciso ter em conta que promover Empowerment faz sentido quando existe paralelamente uma aposta na Educação para Saúde, principalmente na saúde digital para a população com maior dificuldade na inclusão. Analisamos também a compreensão do papel da Governance mais concretamente aplicada na saúde digital e de que forma se relaciona com o Empowerment do cliente.

O desenvolvimento de atividades com fins terapêuticos, nomeadamente oficinas, tem-se revelado importante na área da reabilitação psicossocial da pessoa com doença mental. No âmbito do projeto IN_Cooking desenvolveu-se um estudo, com 24 indivíduos, com acompanhamento num serviço de hospital de dia de psiquiatria, que frequentaram as OficINas de Culinária, durante 6 semanas, em grupos de 6 participantes. Foram aplicadas as escalas de autoestima (RSES), do estigma na doença mental AQ-9 e do Estigma Internalizado em Pessoas com Doença Mental (ISMI) com o objetivo de avaliar e monitorizar o impacto das intervenções implementadas. As OficINas de Culinária revelaram-se numa estratégia terapêutica com impacto positivo, com melhorias ao nível da autoestima, do estigma da doença mental e da auto-estigmatização nos participantes.

Atualmente, a dor na criança é um tema pouco abordado e carece de informação científica. Considerou-se pertinente a realização de uma Scoping Review tendo como objetivo identificar as estratégias utilizadas na autogestão da dor na criança (entre os 6-12 anos) e família. Recorreu-se ao protocolo do Instituto Joanna Briggs. Os descritores MeSH definidos levaram à seguinte expressão de pesquisa: Pain AND Child AND Self-Management AND Family. Foram utilizadas como bases de dados científicas a PubMed e a EBSCHO e como critérios de inclusão utilizou-se a metodologia PCC: Population, Concept e Context, para responder à questão: Quais as estratégias utilizadas pela criança e família na autogestão da dor? Constatou-se que a dor não se constitui num conceito major, mas sintomatológico. Teve maior relevância o conceito de autogestão. Concluiu-se que a família e os profissionais de saúde desempenham um papel crucial, no colmatar das barreiras associadas à autogestão da dor na criança.

This article aims to clarify the various meanings of a definition of Theology as a frontier hermeneutics. It begins with a number of initial considerations about the concepts of hermeneutics and of frontier. It is within this context that an understanding of the work of Theology is proposed. Under this assumption, this same understanding of theological discourse is applied to three ‘frontier’ areas, as a relation between ‘worlds’: faith and reason; Christianity and culture; church and society. The conclusion assumes the application of the meaning of the frontier hermeneutics in these areas for the concrete work of a Faculty of Theology.

Theology and the science of religion constitute two distinct approaches, something that becomes evident both from the historical and the epistemological point of view. The relations between these two areas can be seen throughout history; they occur spontaneously or deliberately and programmatically, although this is an unfinished process in today’s academic and scientific conjuncture. Universities, in turn, constitute the natural place of both, and are shown as protagonists capable of conducting the process of affirmation of identities and of dialogue between classical knowledge, theology, and the modern science of religion.

This article aims to look at possible relationships between Theology and Psychoanalysis, taking as a starting point the initial positions of this new science and of the anthropological questions it poses. Although initially there were difficulties in approaching these questions, with Psychoanalysis being the first to take an interest in the phenomenon of religion, nevertheless there have been progressive attempts to pose these questions from a theological perspective. After the most significant attempts at approximation, especially in Spain, five questions are put to a Theology that takes the Freudian challenge seriously: that of the dogma that drifts into dogmatism; that of the representation of God as a ghost of the omnipotent father; that of the concept of salvation as a stalemate amid the meanderings of Oedipus; that of the law and of the ideal where the questions of love and hatred demand to be recognised in their authentic dimensions; and lastly, the question of authority as a figuration of the all-knowing and all-powerful, who strives to be revealed as being possible and at hand, through submission or rebellion in relation to institutional figures.

This article aims to clarify that there is no such thing as a ‘feminine theology’, but a complex panorama, in which women, with their particular differences, take the floor as subjects. Though recent in academic terms, gender theologies have a long history and have developed in such a way as to draw attention to how a culture signifies and symbolizes to show that the accomplisment of the Kingdom of God relies on the quality of inter-human relational bonds. With a distant masculinity, then surreptitiously made into a universal paradigm, and with a model of femininity that oscillates between Eve and Mary, the theological world shows itself to be manifestly disturbed: there is a desperate need for an inclusive way to talk about God.

Fátima is a reality with a strength of its own. It appears as a centre of life that eludes what can be said of it. It manifests all its strength starting with a marginal positioning and presenting itself imbued with universal propensity. On the one hand, the reality of Fátima emerges where, at the time, one would least expect it. After a while, it is assumed by the Christian universe without being, however, entirely circumscribed by it. Towards it converge very varied human searches, not always clear from a Christian point of view. Even within this universe, Fátima seems to hold a marginal position, insofar as it allows the expression of a popular religiosity that reveals features of its own when compared to a faith regarded as more enlightened. On the other hand, Fátima has an expansion dynamics, as it has acquired a multidirectional projection considering the circumstances in which it started. In fact, Fátima has been recognized by the various pontificates of recent decades. The thesis of Fátima’s transversal relevance in time and space has also been advanced. Also, it is intended to spread beyond the Cova da Iria the experience that is generated and takes shape there. Finally, different glances are cast over Fátima, which together amplify the understanding one has of it.

This paper aims at a critical reading of the theological production in Portugal on occasion of the centennial of the Apparitions of Our Lady in Fátima, in 1917. 27 papers were studied, in which the authors sought to read the events of Fátima in a theological dogmatic view, both under a more devotional and edifying perspective and in a more theological and systematic approach. We can consider as a common thread in all papers the apocalyptic question of the secret, as source for a theological reading of history.

Following other previous studies on the history of the Faculty of Theology of the Catholic University of Portugal, this article intends to work on the external relations of that Faculty, practically since its creation until 1981. Starting from the personal memories of the author and with support on documents for the management of the Faculty, the dimensions of university extension, the relationship with other schools of theology in the national territory, as well as the relationship with foreign schools of theology are worked on. The article ends with an approach to the relationship with the Portuguese State.

This article aims to ponder on the relationship between an anthropology of the sacred and fundamental theology. To this end, it starts from the evangelical transformation of the sacred, as carried out in Jesus the Son. He becomes the measure of the sacred, overcoming its religious or irreligious reductions. This instrument allows a discernment of the sacred in a Christian regime, based on the ethical‑theological dimension of the religious. Christianity becomes a religious criticism of the religious, in the dialectic between faith and religion. The irreligious context of secularization requires an exposition of this critical task, in the search for what is common to humans, as justice.

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.

The article intends to present, in a synthetic way, some of the trends of theology in Latin America. It chooses a path that combines history and some of the covered topics. It is not intended to be exhaustive, especially with regard to the current scenario. From a historical point of view, Liberation Theology and the option for the poor occupy a prominent place. This also determines the remaining topics covered, namely the matter of the place of women in theology, the relationship with Earth in the context of an ecological theology, and the relationship with both the cultural and religious origins of the Latin American population. By way of conclusion, the path followed by the decolonial perspective is pointed out, a path which seeks to explore the theological effect of the so‑called epistemologies of the South.

The normalization of contextual‑geographical theological categories (such as Latin‑American, Asian or African theologies) raises the question of a European Theology. This article seeks to question the existence of a category like European Theology. This category does not seem to arise in the theological setting as such, which is why an underdevelopment of such a category is recognized. This underdevelopment is closely associated with a set of contemporary transformations at both the ecclesial‑theological and world‑cultural levels, which ultimately refer to the loss of Europe’s cultural and Christian hegemony. Finally, we present a brief description of the European theological scenario, pointing out three major perspectives: critical (which assumes methods and analyzes from other epistemologies for the composition of its own theological discourse), hermeneutical (which starts from the facticity of the Belief‑Christian experience and seeks above all its meaning) and mystagogical (which starts from an assumption in favor of faith and wants to lead to it).

This paper starts from an approach to the concept of theology that implies, by itself, a variety of methodological areas, this variety giving rise to an inevitable multidisciplinarity and internal interdisciplinarity, together with an external interdisciplinarity, which corresponds, moreover, to the present cultural plurality. Hence, some challenges arise to the internal articulation of theology in its diversity, to which correspond as many theological work tasks: to seek unity in diversity; to relate the theological activity with the life of God’s People; to work in a dialogue between the different disciplines; to maintain an openness and awareness as to the limitations of knowledge; to institutionally articulate interdisciplinarity; to open up to ecumenism.

The biblical point of view on the epistemological and ethical status of mimetic symbolism and its artistic and religious pertinence – and impertinence – is discussed here on the basis of the crossed analysis of two major narratives of the Pentateuch (adoration of the golden calf [Ex 32, 1‑20; Dt 9,15‑29] and exhibition of the bronze serpent [Nr 21, 4‑10]). By discarding the traditional opposition between Jewish iconoclasm and Christian iconophilism as reductionist, it is highlighted that the biblical taboo of images of the divine is not an absolute refusal of mimesis (as an analogical conversion of the contents of experience in its representation), but a condemnation of its degeneration, both idolatrous (which occurs in the case of fetishistic, pseudo‑denotative mimesis, unable to distinguish between meaning and referent, between semantic content and reality) and mythological (in its assumption as an exclusive and totalizing discourse, substituting the theoretical knowledge of the truth). The paper presents the following fundamental traits of symbolic significance reconstructed by the biblical text, which theological reflection can implement as binding criteria for the scrutiny of religious and artistic symbolism, in a valuable critical‑hermeneutic exercise not only for the experience of faith but also for the self‑understanding of the arts: complementarity of image and rite (semantically binding association of the mimetic representation and its performative effect); articulation of symbolism as a strategy of decentralization of the original experience and critical differentiation of the subject’s place in its finitude; epistemological and ethical inconsistency of idolatry (as infidelity on the part of religious and artistic experience to the ‘sanctity’ of the object itself, to the mutual transcendence of the real and the subject).
