Resumo: This article focuses on the appearance of the theme of vulnerability, from the 18th century, on woodcuts whose visual narrative refers to the process of people´s aging in analogy with the motif staircase or steps of life. The emergence of the consideration of disability as a possible crossing of the life cycle has triggered the investigative problem: How does the issue of vulnerability arise in woodcuts whose visual narrative refers to the motif for the staircase or steps of life, accompanied by a religious narrative? It presents the results of an exploratory documentary research, realized in the archives of the Museum of the Image in the city of Epinal, France, of the Museum of Cultures, in the city of Basel, Switzerland and of the State Church in Stuttgart, Germany, in July 2017. It argues as a first result, comparing the educational and religious visual narratives, that there is a modification of the visual narrative of the reason for the ladder of life and that its appearance anticipates, in the field of education, but not in the field of theology, the consideration of respect for vulnerability as an anthropological condition. As a second result, is shown the importance of visual culture as a proper narrative and an essential source for the human sciences, especially for the fields of education and religious studies, which in this case giving evidence for the beginning of a new perspective about the human condition.

A ausência da consideração da deficiência como um possível atravessamento do ciclo da vida disparou o problema investigativo: Como se dá o aparecimento do tema da vulnerabilidade em xilogravuras cuja narrativa visual se refere ao motivo da escada ou dos degraus da vida, acompanhada por uma narrativa religiosa? Apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa documental exploratória, realizada nos acervos do Museu da Imagem na cidade de Epinal, França, do Museu das Culturas, na cidade de Basileia, Suíça e da Igreja Estadual de Estugarda, Alemanha, no mês de julho de 2017. Argumenta, como primeiro resultado, comparando as narrativas visuais educacionais e religiosas, que há uma modificação da narrativa visual do motivo da escada da vida e que seu aparecimento antecipa, na área da educação, mas não na área da teologia, a consideração do respeito à vulnerabilidade como condição antropológica. Como segundo resultado, mostra-se a importância da cultura visual como narrativa própria e fonte essencial para as ciências humanas, em especial, para educação e as ciências da religião, neste caso a ressignificação da vulnerabilidade humana no campo da educação inclusiva que exige um novo olhar para a condição humana.Editora PUC Minas2020-04-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonte/article/view/1904610.5752/P.2175-5841.2020v18n55p197HORIZONTE - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religião; v. 18, n. 55, jan./abr. 2020 - Dossiê - Religião e Educação; 197HORIZONTE - Journal of Studies in Theology and Religious Sciences; v. 18, n. 55, Jan./Apr. 2020 - Dossier - Religion and Education; 1972175-5841reponame:Horizonte - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religiãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)instacron:PUC_MINSporhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonte/article/view/19046/17233Copyright (c) 2020 HORIZONTE - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religiãohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRenders, HelmutCosta-Renders, Elizabete Cristina2022-01-10T08:55:15Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/19046Revistahttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonteONGhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonte/oaihorizonte.pucminas@gmail.com2175-58411679-9615opendoar:2022-01-10T08:55:15Horizonte - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religião - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)false
