Resumo: In a reflection of essayistic character, the article examines the interfaces between religious and political fields in Brazil, seeking to identify possible connections between certain belief systems and Brazilian political culture. We question how popular religious practices could influence the patterns of collective behavior and orientation of the political action by certain social segments of the country. To this end, the discussion focuses on afro-brazilian religions and denominations of neopentecostal religious field. Despite numerous differences present in rituals and cosmological beliefs of both religions systems, they share common symbolic contents, especially those associated with the conceptions more established of “popular religiosity”. We intend to evaluate the possible influences that some codes of belief, structured along those practices, articulate on the attitudes and behaviors of followers in the realm of political praxis.

Questiona-se o modo como as práticas religiosas populares influenciam as pautas de comportamento coletivo e de orientação da ação política de determinados segmentos sociais do país. Para tanto, a discussão concentra-se nas religiões afro-brasileiras e em denominações do campo neo pentecostal, que apesar das inúmeras diferenças rituais e cosmológicas, compartilham conteúdos simbólicos comuns, especialmente aqueles associados às concepções mais estabilizadas sobre as “religiosidades populares”. Trata-se de avaliar as possíveis influências que os códigos de crença estruturados nessas práticas articulariam junto às atitudes e comportamentos dos adeptos em torno de uma práxis política.Universidade Estadual de Londrina2016-12-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/article/view/2799710.5433/2176-6665.2016v21n2p218Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 21 No. 2 (2016); 218-253Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 21 Núm. 2 (2016); 218-253Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 21 n. 2 (2016); 218-2532176-66651414-0543reponame:Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociaisinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/article/view/27997/pdfCopyright (c) 2016 Rodrigo Leistnerinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLeistner, Rodrigo2022-05-06T11:12:04Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/27997Revistahttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/indexPUBhttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/oaimediacoes@uel.br2176-66652176-6665opendoar:2023-01-13T10:38:06.259002Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false
