EVANGELICOS POLITICA AMERICA LATINA Argentina Brasil |
| description |
Abstract: Over the last decade, academic interest in evangelical groups in Latin America
has reappeared in light of their growing participation in the political-electoral
processes taking place in various countries in the region, generally
accompanying political formations that have intensified a shift to the right. In
this interest, in their achievements and in their blind spots, it becomes clear
to what extent evangelicals pose an intellectual and political challenge for
the critical currents in the academic world. In this paper, we propose to
investigate the ways in which the relationships between evangelical groups
and the political process in Latin America occur. More specifically, what are
the relationships between these groups and the authoritarian and
conservative shift that occurring in many countries in the region. Starting
with a theoretical discussion about evangelism in Latin America, we will
attempt to answer this question by considering the case of two different
countries. On the one hand, Brazil, in which the participation of evangelicals
in politics seems to be inextricably linked with conservative radicalization. On
the other Argentina, which appears to be a slightly more open in its
historical possibilities, although it is in a process of transformation. Through
them we will attempt to demonstrate a single thesis: that within the
framework of the political and social processes under way in both countries,
the socio-political insertion of evangelicals goes from a relative malleability
and contingency in terms of their political destiny to the sedimentation of a
series of conditions that transform them either into companions or into
catalysts of this authoritarian shift in politics. |
