RESUMEN
RESUMEN Este trabajo se propone comprender los sentidos del trabajo religioso en la prevención de la violencia y la recuperación de personas involucradas con actos ilícitos en un complejo de favelas de la ciudad de Río de Janeiro, Brasil. Se analizan la acción de entidades religiosas en el territorio, las visiones de sus líderes sobre su papel y el de su iglesia y sus representaciones sobre el territorio y sobre las personas que realizan actos violentos. Entre 2010 y 2012, desde un abordaje cualitativo, se realizó observación participante y se efectuaron entrevistas a líderes religiosos y "convertidos", cuyos relatos se abordaron a través de análisis de la enunciación. Los líderes resaltan la importancia de la acción de sus iglesias en una localidad precaria y violenta y los "convertidos" destacan el papel de la evangelización en su conversión religiosa. Sin embargo, las relaciones entre religión y violencia son complejas e incluyen varios tipos de trayectorias y comportamientos si bien se destaca la fuerza del apoyo religioso, también se la cuestiona. Se concluye que las iglesias actúan de forma puntual e individual, por lo que colaboran poco con la transformación de la realidad, asumiendo con frecuencia un papel de control y de pacificación de la cuestión social.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to understand the meanings of religious work in the prevention of violence and in the recovery of people involved in illicit acts in a complex of shantytowns in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The activities of religious entities in the territory, the view of religious leaders regarding their role and that of their church, and the representations of the territory and of the people who commit violent acts were analyzed. Using a qualitative approach, participant observation and interviews of religious leaders and "converts" were conducted between 2010 and 2012. The resulting narratives were treated using enunciation analysis. The leaders emphasize the importance of their churches' actions in violent and precarious areas, while the "converts" highlight the role of evangelization in their religious conversion. However, the relationships between religion and violence are complex, involving various types of trajectories and behaviors; in this way, the strength of religious support in the conversion process is both highlighted and questioned. The text concludes that churches' actions tend to be palliative and focused on the individual and therefore do little to transform reality, with the church potentially taking on roles of social control and pacification.
