As operações simbólicas: o consumo da fé nas artes do fazer da Comunidade Mosaico (2014-2024).

Abstract

The narratives of the sacred "woven into the everyday" by the Protestant blessed are practices that connect a subject to a place, operating a History. The historical study that brings an approach to the "marginal" place stimulates important discussions regarding the production of a historiography, where historical subjects are creative and produce "everyday arts," reinventing spaces through practices and bricolages, thus fostering an object that "emerges" from common places. Therefore, the present work aims to analyze the consumption of faith in the arts of doing by the practitioners of the Mosaico Community (2014-2024), a church of the Calvinist Protestant branch, located in the Sertão of Paraíba, in Pombal-PB. I employed oral history as a methodology and drew on the concepts of practice, bricolage, and tactics from Michel de Certeau (2014) and controversy from Bruno Latour (1997). By the end of the journey, I found that there is a bricolage in the consumption of faith, that is, the faithful of the Mosaico Community, in their everyday life, reconstruct the sacred through mundane art.
