Resumo: | Religious fundamentalist movements regard the secular state as an enemy because it claims to codify its power as if God did not exist. Those movements consider their religion the repository of absolute truth, the ultimate source legitimizing human laws. Therefore, although they are postsecular, at the same time they endeavor to transform religious principles into political agendas. Indeed, militants often act in accordance with political objectives in the attempt to assert the primacy of their own faith over that of others. They move within contemporary societies in the name of a radical political theology. The main arguments based on two case studies: Bodu Bala Sena in Sri Lanka and the movements for the Hindutva in India. |

Esses movimentos consideram sua religião como o repositório de verdade absoluta, a fonte derradeira que legitima as leis humanas. Assim, conquanto sejam pós-seculares, ao mesmo tempo tentam transformar os princípios religiosos em agendas políticas. Com efeito, os militantes agem frequentemente de acordo com princípios políticos, procurando afirmar o primado de sua própria fé sobre a dos outros. Eles se movem dentro das sociedades contemporâneas em nome de uma teologia política radical. Os principais argumentos baseiam-se em dois estudos de caso: o Bodu Bala Sena no Sri Lanka e os movimentos para o Hindutva na Índia.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)2017-10-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politica/article/view/2175-7984.2017v16n36p40310.5007/2175-7984.2017v16n36p403Política & Sociedade; Vol. 16 No. 36 (2017); 403-427Política & Sociedade; Vol. 16 Núm. 36 (2017); 403-427Política & Sociedade; v. 16 n. 36 (2017); 403-4272175-79841677-4140reponame:Política & Sociedade (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politica/article/view/2175-7984.2017v16n36p403/35109Copyright (c) 2017 Política & Sociedadeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPace, Enzo2017-10-17T18:13:45Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/53269Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politicaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politica/oai||ernesto.seidl@ufsc.br|| ps@cfh.ufsc.br2175-79841677-4140opendoar:2017-10-17T18:13:45Política & Sociedade (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
