(Hetero)doxa negociada: ambivalências discursivas nas relações de distinção e sociabilidade da Igreja Batista do Pinheiro no campo batista alagoano

Abstract

The aim of this research is to understand how has been built what Pierre Bourdieu calls doxa in the Pine Baptist Church in Maceió - Alagoas, however relational way, continuous and permanent articulation of seemingly conflicting speeches in negotiation with different and distinctive groups inside and outside the church, representatives of expectations sometimes opposing, but in dialogue with its own members, considering the fact that this religious community, on the one hand, come the object of a symbolic construction by violent naturalizes process in several areas the Baptist alagoano field, the stigma of progressive and liberal church in search for status with a secularized society, reproducing a common sense of pejorative and arbitrary nature of such notions, and on the other hand, the idealization of this church that disregards its insertion in disputes privileged positions in the Baptist alagoano field, and symbolic power. Search is here therefore demystify a common trend in the Baptist Alagoas field in categorizing individuals and groups from a dualism between progressivism and conservatism, however, does not reflect the complexity and ambivalence of the field, trying to identify whether and to what extent the status of notions, prestige and symbolic power apply in building this negotiated doxa in Pine Baptist Church. Thus, through literature and conducted field by participant observation from September 2015 to March 2016, are addressed here some historical phenomena pointed out by scientists and sociologists of religion as processes that somehow may have influenced some postures adopted by leadership of this church; manifestations of discursive negotiation of their leaders; and the ways these leaders articulate, sometimes seemingly opposing discourses and religious ambivalences resulting considering their positions and provisions on political and religious spaces in which they operate and with which dialogue.
