BANCADA EVANGÉLICA DA CÂMARA DO RECIFE: O APOGEU EM 2016, A PERDA DE VOTOS EM 2020 E O VOTO EVANGÉLICO INSTITUCIONALIZADO

A bancada evangélica da Câmara de Vereadores do Recife viveu dois momentos distintos nas eleições de 2016 e na de 2020. Na primeira, os votos destinados aos parlamentares que viriam a integrar a bancada passou dos 80 mil. O número caiu para 66 mil na segunda eleição. Neste artigo, apresentamos os dois cenários: primeiro, o de 2016, com o apogeu dos candidatos evangélicos e, depois, a perda de 20% dos votos em quatro anos. A partir dos dados que traremos, vamos discutir o comportamento do voto evangélico, que passou a admitir novas realidades com o advento da modernidade. Para tanto, apresentamos de que modo se dá a crise institucional evangélica e como ela se reflete no comportamento dos fiéis, inclusive na hora do voto. Ainda, demonstramos aqui, fazendo uso de conceitos trabalhados por Peter Berger, de que forma este grupo de eleitores consegue transitar entre distintas realidades a partir do conceito da alternação biográfica, ainda que estas realidades sejam contraditórias.

SULUK DAN PERUBAHAN PERILAKU SOSIAL SALIK (TELAAH TEORI KONSTRUKSI SOSIAL PETER L BERGER DAN THOMAS LUCKMAN)

Social change after following suluk is a result that must be achieved by the salik. The change in question is a change in attitude for the better in everyday life after following suluk. This article also aims to find out how to internalize the value of suluk on salik in life and social changes in society, and in this case it is reviewed from one of the theories put forward by Peter Berger. by referring to three aspects, namely externalization, objectification and internalization. This article is a study using qualitative and descriptive approaches, in which informants are obtained by using purposive sampling method. To analyze this paper, the author certainly still uses a social construction theory in which changes in society do not happen by themselves but there are certain patterns that encourage and influence them. Based on the results of what the author has done, both in the form of initial assessments and also interviews with several salik, namely to achieve internalization of the values of suluk in salik who have participated in suluk both in Lueng Ie dayah and Tgk, Zulfan, must have an objectivation externalization stage. only then at the internalization stage. In salik who have participated in suluk, not all of them are able to absorb the values that are applied to suluk worship activities significantly, this is due to the influence of interaction patterns and the process of assimilation with the outside environment that is still happening, so that these values have not been applied comprehensively in the form of changes. attitudes and behavior in social life, and this is of course not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. The salik must strive with all their might so that the very high values of suluk worship can be slowly applied in life in the hope of becoming an example for themselves and their environment.

Cultural Diversity and Religious Reflexivity in an Intercultural Chilean Parish

This research aims to analyze cultural diversity and its relationship with the personal belief in an Immigrant Parish. The discussion is framed within the topic of intercultural churches and parishes, although in a setting that has not been researched (Santiago, Chile). The research was carried out in the Latin-American Parish placed in Providencia, Santiago, and a qualitative framework was used to obtain and analyze the data. Cultural diversity is understood concerning religious reflexivity and under the idea that pluralism leads to a weakening of religious conviction, as Peter Berger argued. The theoretical framework makes the difference between the vision of Berger on cultural pluralism (pluralism inter-religion) and the viewpoint by Charles Taylor (pluralism intra-religion). On the contrary to Berger, the findings of this research showed that cultural diversity and pluralism are elements that produce a strengthening of individual beliefs.

Comunicação, cultura e mundo da vida: as contribuições de Jürgen Habermas e Alfred Schutz

Resumo Este artigo apresenta o conceito de mundo da vida e a sua contribuição-chave para uma teoria da cultura e da comunicação. Inicialmente desenvolvido pelo filósofo Edmund Husserl, o conceito foi aprimorado pelo filósofo e sociólogo austro-americano Alfred Schutz e adotado mais tarde por teorias consagradas, como as de Peter Berger e Thomas Luckmann no projeto de um construtivismo social, assim como por Jürgen Habermas no agir comunicativo como fundamento da razão, o que destaca a importância de tal empreendimento. O texto conceitua o mundo da vida como interface entre a teoria da comunicação e da cultura.

Ethno-religious socialisation, national culture and the social construction of British Muslim identity

This paper interfaces a specific theory of socialisation, derived from Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann’s influential book The Social Construction of Reality, with the empirical story of Muslim settlement in Britain. It makes a key distinction between the primary socialisation experiences of immigrants, which unfolded in their countries of origin, and that of their diaspora-born offspring whose identity is forged between an inherited ethno-religious culture and the wider British collective conscience. Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork conducted with the Islamic revivalist movement Tablighi Jama’at, the paper explores the cultural embodiments of religion as it evolves over generations through an examination of identity markers such as language, dress and food. The analysis triangulates Berger and Luckmann’s concepts of primary and secondary socialisation with a tripartite model of British Muslim identity developed by Ron Geaves. It further argues, in light of Kwame Gyekye’s theory of nation-building, that recent government efforts to promulgate a set of fundamental British values in schools represent an essentially Durkheimian attempt to supply the ‘social glue’ that binds citizens together. While the article acknowledges the increasing salience of religion for many British-born Muslims, it argues for the ongoing influence of ethnicity and nationality in determining their lived experience.

AS RELIGIÕES E A RECONSTRUÇÃO DOS DIREITOS HUMANOS: UMA ABORDAGEM TRANSDISCIPLINAR

Os direitos humanos têm um importante papel na construção e promoção de uma cultura de paz. Apesar disso, eles têm sido postos em questão face aos grandes confl itos da contemporaneidade, tais como crise migratória, violência urbana e a ascensão de fundamentalismos políticos e religiosos ao redor do globo. Procurando colaborar para uma refl exão sobre esse impasse, o presente ensaio busca articular a concepção contra-hegemônica dos direitos humanos delineada por Boaventura de Sousa Santos, o conceito de pluralismo religioso, tal como teorizado por Peter Berger e a abordagem transdisciplinar desenvolvida por Basarab Nicolescu. Sustentamos que as religiões podem fornecer, por meio de suas teologias pluralistas e progressistas, uma nova plataforma para a reconstrução dos direitos humanos, engendrando uma atitude transcultural e transreligiosa para a reconstrução dos direitos humanos.

Performing a Renunciative Unity

For Jihadi-Salafi jurists and authors, the contemporary global system of nation-states and those Muslim-majority governments and nations supporting its continuance bear responsibility for the suffering and oppression faced by contemporary Muslim communities. This chapter argues that Jihadi-Salafi debates on creed (ʿaqīda) and methodology (minhāj) provide an interpretation of the causes of suffering and evil in the world—a theodicy—and contend that these are best addressed through a mode of self-renunciation patterned on the beliefs and practices of the earliest communities of Muslim faith (the Salaf). Traditions of self-renunciation (zuhd) are not unique to Jihadi-Salafis and have long been present in discussions of jihad—dating to the Kitab al-Jihad of ʿAbd Allah ibn al-Mubarak (d. 797). Framing this discussion are the anthropological, sociological, and philosophical theories of religion offered by Richard Valantasis, Peter Berger, Michel Foucault, and Gavin Flood.

UMA ABORDAGEM PRAXIOLÓGICA SOBRE A PRODUÇÃO E REINVENÇÃO DO SENTIDO

Neste artigo insisto na possibilidade de interpretação do sentido por meio da investigação das práticas sociais. De início, explicito a produção do sentido através da síntese entre as ideias de Pierre Bourdieu acerca das práticas, destacando seu conceito de habitus, e as análises de Peter Berger e Thomas Luckmann sobre a construção social da realidade. Na segunda parte, sob inspiração do psiquiatra Ronald Laing, uso casos hipotéticos, para mostrar como o sentido é descontruído pelas experiências de insegurança ontológica. Ao final, aciono o conceito de profanação, de Giorgio Agamben, para pensar a reinvenção do sentido e seus desdobramentos.
