PRODUZIR O EXTRAORDINÁRIO: Objetos, rituais e carisma na vida religiosa urbana

Abstract

To Produce The Extraordinary: Objects, rituals and charisma in the urban religious life The aim of this paper is to explore different ritual contexts involving specifics forms of charisma and material culture. From the perspective of a comparative sociology of religions, we choose three case studies, related to Catholicism, Protestantism and the so-called New Age movement. Each case will be constructed empirically according to three dimensions of analysis: a) the system of objects that define its material culture, b) their participation in the dominant rites and c) the way in which they contribute or not to the construction of a extraordinary circumstance. The chosen cases are the popular devotion to San Expedito, the evangelical's mega-churches and the public meetings of Mass Meditation.
