Liturgie en versoening, die inkulturasie van rituele van versoening in Suid-Afrika : 'n ondersoeksvoorstel

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT:As a multidisciplinary liturgical scientific research project, all seven existing methodswithin the field of Liturgy will be used. These seven methods are namely: liturgy asbook; a depth approach; the integral approach; primary and secondary sources;designation and appropriation; contextual: anthropological and cultural; as well aspresent, past, continuity and discontinuity, future. These seven approaches will formthe matrix of the research that will be steered/directed by the researcher himself bymeans of interference, a so-called tamed intuition and the Bible as critical-normativesource. As indicated in the title of the research proposal, the dynamic concept ofinculturation will play a vital role throughout the course of the research. Since theresearch will be done with the intention of liturgical inculturation, the dynamic of cultand culture, as well as the time aspect of continuity and discontinuity, must bebrought into account.It follows that a number of main parts will have to be opened, of which three partshave already been opened to serve as an example in this research proposal. Thesemain parts are firstly a chapter on inculturation, secondly a chapter on ritual theoryand also a chapter on the history of rituals of reconciliation within the Christiantradition. These three main parts will be opened again from a South Africanperspective in the final research, but will also be supplemented with a part on thetheology of reconciliation, and a recent contextual analysis by means of participatoryobservation! ethnography.Throughout the proposed research the matrix will be applied to each chapterindividually, and then on everything as a whole. The whole process will be steered bythe concepts interference and quality of ritual in order to see what lines of force orseries of qualities can be distilled from the process. As a whole the research will servethe initial question, namely: How a better inculturated repertoire of rituals ofreconciliation can be attained? On this basis the research aims at making acontribution towards the so-called liturgia condenda (liturgy in process/formation),working towards the goal that the current liturgical formation in South Africa, andspecifically within the Dutch Reformed Church, will take place in a theologically andanthropologically justifiable fashion.
