Resumo: Much has been written about the origins of the Donatist controversy as a memory reconstructed in later contexts or, inversely, as a set of facts which, although obscure, could be reconstituted through a critical reading of sources. But the ambiguities in the perceptions of African Christians that were already present at the beginning of the schism and that contributed to the construction of these divergent memories must also be considered. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the different uses of rumours at the outbreak of Donatist controversy and understand the process that raised these stories to the status of beliefs that justified and delimited the identity boundaries between African Christians.

Pouco se considera, porém, as ambiguidades que já estavam presentes desde o início nas percepções dos cristãos africanos e que contribuíram para a construção dessas memórias divergentes. O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar os diferentes usos que os rumores, os boatos e as conversas informais tiveram na eclosão da controvérsia donatista e entender o processo que elevou essas histórias de estatuto ainda incerto à condição de crenças que justificavam e delimitavam as fronteiras identitárias entre os cristãos africanos.Universidade Estadual de Londrina2016-01-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/article/view/2273310.5433/1984-3356.2015v8n16p111Antíteses; Vol. 8 No. 16 (2015): Dossiê: Identidades cristãs no mundo romano; 111-129Antíteses; v. 8 n. 16 (2015): Dossiê: Identidades cristãs no mundo romano; 111-1291984-3356reponame:Antítesesinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/article/view/22733/17806Copyright (c) 2015 Antítesesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, Julio Cesar Magalhães de2021-10-26T18:40:48Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/22733Revistahttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antitesesPUBhttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/oaiantiteses@uel.br||1984-33561984-3356opendoar:2021-10-26T18:40:48Antíteses - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false
