A RELIGIÃO E A CONSTITUIÇÃO DO SUJEITO SOCIAL: TRÊS PERSPECTIVAS

Abstract

In the current days, it is possible to check a proliferation of religious institutions, longing for new adepts. In fact, the number of alternatives, beliefs, saints, churches, services and masses had dramatically grown. Religious life has changed, many religions have aroused. In this research we will take the religious speech as ideological materiality, which aim is to capture the individual and submit it to a supreme power. In this panorama, individuals are questioned and influenced by a great amount of religious statements. In searching for a sense to be built in religion, individuals find a plural reality, filled with offers that tend to subdue him. Therefore, the religious speech is the one in which the desired effect is the plain submission of the subject to powers that are higher than himself. This reality is present in human life. As other social realities, religion keeps promoting and forming an ideology over the world in which human beings are, by using its speech of establishment of sense. Its an instrument of legitimation. Religion is part of the world created by man, as well as of the culture created by society. An issue is raised from this scenario: In which way religion and its purposes influence the process of individuation, in a plural and liquid context? The aim of this research is to analyse the specificities of the religious speech, and its influence on the process of personalization through the presuppositions of the science of religion, of the psychology of the unconscious, of sociology and of linguistic.
