| Abstract | |
It's possible to realize the expansion of evangelical religiosity by the census numbers as well by its huge capacity of mobilization and transformation on the lifeword. The participation of self-denominated evangelicals in the national politics is remarkable. The Evangelical Parliamentary Front became one of the main forces in Brazil's Parliament and democratic governabilty depends on their support. This presence assured them a privileged place on main public debates as gay marriage, criminalization of homophobia, abortion and drug's decriminalization.The conflicts with LGBT community and feminist movement increased and a consensus seems far away. Furthermore, many researches are indicating the importance of evangelical religiosity in the process of social ascension in Brazil and its role in the development of an "entrepreneurship mentality" in the poor suburbs of big cities. The main goal of this study is to understand this scenario by analysing the reflexivity of these actors, specially from Universal Church, taken here as our case study. The study of this "evangelical reflexivity" comprehends the judgement and evaluation of the actors about three chosen topics (politics, entrepreneurship and gender), as well as the elaboration of existential projects and the internal conversations they made to think the viability of their plan of actions in relation to the objective conditions in which they find themselves. Through the analysis of these internal conversation, we will try to understand how these actors build their perception about the self and the world and the importance they attribute to the religiosity in this process. The main hypothesis of this work is that the exposition and the necessity of participation in several "worlds of action" constitutes an increasing exigence of reflexivity by evangelicals, requiring the incorporation of new knowledges and competences which are not a priori available in the religious world. So, the split with the traditional religious contextual continuity promotes transformations on the way these actors face religiosity. Concomitantly, the adhesion to the religiosity also produces a split in the individuals life contexts, promoting a new reflexive cycle and producing changes on the lifeworld (AU) | |
