A memória social da religião evangélica em Paracambi entre os anos de 1970 a 2000.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the social memory of the evangelical religion of the city of Paracambi, in order to analyze which factors contributed to the evangelical religion reaching the majority of adherents/believers throughout the 20th century, specifically between the 1970s and 2000s. The temporal delimitation is due to the fact that the city has undergone social, economic and also religious transformations in this very historical period. We use as theoretical reference the Theory of Social Memory, especially in the perspective of common memories of Celso Sá and underground memories of Michael Pollak. As a research method we use oral narratives, through thematic life histories. We conclude that the expansion of the evangelical religion in the city was due to economic factors and also to the emergence of an evangelical religious movement called Paracambi Para Cristo.
