“Tem crente no pedaço”: um estudo sobre religião e lazer entre jovens evangélicos

Abstract

This is a study on practices that come up in the intersection between religion and leisure, carried out in order to understand how a sphere influences the other, through a search of young evangelicals. The religion was treated as a cultural system and the leisure as a dimension of culture characterized by personal quest for pleasure. Adopting the ethnographic method, many leisure activities of young people have been mapped. Some who initially were not perceived as such. Through the notions circuit of evangelical events and slice of believers such practices were analyzed together. The way young people experience their faith and enjoy your leisure shows that the believer is not necessarily averse to leisure. A retrospective of their cultural system indicates that it may never have been. Moderation, sectarianism and a type of hedonism seem dispute the influence of leisure. Today, among the young people surveyed, this dispute is translated into several individual summaries, although, for them, some are more desirable than others.
