Description
Summary:In this article, I revisit the formulations of anthropologist Pierre Sanchis about "urban popular culture," with the aim of making comparisons with Pentecostal growth in the peripheries beginning in the 2000s. This growth has revealed comparisons between existing cultural references and new aesthetic and grammatical forms, with repercussions in social interactions, the economy, and local and supralocal politics. These observations are based on fieldwork conducted in Rio de Janeiro favelas. The empirical material that supports the analysis proposed here is also based on data from research conducted at the Universidade Federal Fluminense, which mapped worship places in Rio de Janeiro.
