Abstract

In this article, through the trajectories of two interlocutors, I essay some reflections about the experiences of mobilizing a religious grammar in the crime, and about the experiences of religious conversion and disengagement from criminal networks through some acts in churches and congregations, specifically in the context of the urban margins of Alagoas. The objective is to contribute to the comprehension of the evangelical religious experiences in the Northeast of the country. I propose the argument that the religious experiences and the criminal experiences tense up, interpenetrate and, consequently, imply in the way in which are enunciated the identifications: I am a criminal and I am evangelical, since this religiosity seems to work as moral mirror to the postures, performances and grammars.

Highlights

  • In this article, through the trajectories of two interlocutors, I essay some reflections about the experiences of mobilizing a religious grammar in the crime, and about the experiences of religious conversion and disengagement from criminal networks through some acts in churches and congregations, in the context of the urban margins of Alagoas

  • Como Birman (2019) sinaliza, tratam-se de pesquisas que partem de uma perspectiva crítica, que permite entender os jogos de poder e as relações conflitivas que transitam entre o legal, o ilegal e o criminoso, com suas instabilidades e fluidez, indo além dos binarismos

  • Argumento que jovens como Madá e Efraim, expostos às espirais de violência intensificadas pelos conflitos entre facções demandam redes de proteção, que podem ser encontradas na própria facção, na família ou em congregações e igrejas (CARVALHO, 2021; RODRIGUES; SILVA; SANTOS, 2020)

Summary

Introduction

Through the trajectories of two interlocutors, I essay some reflections about the experiences of mobilizing a religious grammar in the crime, and about the experiences of religious conversion and disengagement from criminal networks through some acts in churches and congregations, in the context of the urban margins of Alagoas. Por meio do diálogo com as trajetórias e experiências4 de dois interlocutores, Madá e Efraim, por mim entrevistados enquanto cumpriam medida de privação de liberdade em unidades de internação, ensaio algumas reflexões sobre como, embora eles enunciem rígidas fronteiras entre serevangélico e serdo crime, a disposição de ambos para a experimentação religiosa aponta para a miríade de cursos e granulações que suas vidas podem tomar a partir dessas e de outras experiências que se interconectam.
