Resumo: Este artigo investiga a formação de redes de compadrio na freguesia de Viamão do século XVIII, buscando investigar como estas reproduziam as relações de diferenciação, hierarquia e interdependência constituídas por indivíduos de famílias abastadas da região. Conforme aponta João Fragoso, a sociedade constituída no Brasil do período colonial foi marcada por uma "hierarquia social costumeira”, constituída por intrincadas relações entre indivíduos de diferentes estratos sociais. Assim, este artigo foi dividido em três partes: na primeira, apresentaremos o método adotado; a seguir, é realizada uma breve revisão a respeito dos estudos sobre o compadrio no Brasil. Finalmente, o mapeamento destas redes de ‘compadres’ foi realizado através da sistematização dos registros de batismo da região de Viamão, no período de 1747 a 1759, recorrendo-se às ferramentas conceituais da metodologia da Análise de Redes Sociais para fins de análise e crítica dos resultados.Abstract: This article investigates the formation of compadrazgo networks in the parish of Viamão in the 18th century. It focuses on how they reproduced dynamics of differentiation, hierarchy and interdependence constituted by individuals from families of the region. According to João Fragoso, the society constituted in Brazil from the colonial period was marked by a "customary social hierarchy", constituted by intricate relationships among individuals from different social strata. This article was divided in three parts: in the first, we will present the method adopted; next, is a brief review of studies on compadrazgo in Brazil. Finally, the mapping of these networks was carried out, through the systematization of baptismal records of the Viamão region from 1747 to 1759, and using the tools of the Social Network Analysis methodology to perform the analysis of the results.

Abstract Defining re-conversion as the re-embracement of one’s (neglected) faith, this article deals with the question of what relations can be identified between conversion/re-conversion to a Salafist reading of Islam, on the one hand, and life course circumstances, identity transformation, and social network features of the individuals concerned, on the other. Combining narrative, autobiographical interviews with qualitative social network analysis, four activists of a Muslim organisation in Switzerland known for its Salafist orientation are portrayed. The comparative analysis shows that, despite sharing the same approach to Islam, the four cases exhibit different modes of the impact of life course and social network on spiritual transformation and vice versa. The paper also discusses the term Salafism and its applicability to the interviewees.
