discurso proselitista

Portuguese to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. sociologia
A proposta deste artigo é apresentar algumas reflexões sobre a presença de católicos carismáticos na universidade e na política. Quando se inserem na universidade, procuram demarcar espaço apelando para um chamado de fundo religioso, que sugere emplacar uma ação evangelizadora sobre esse meio. Quando se inserem na política, percebe-se que se diferenciam de um modelo de engajamento puramente militante, acionando dispositivos contemporâneos de participação política, como a internet e a judicialização da política. Ao transmitir suas crenças e convicções religiosas através desses mecanismos de participação, acenam mais para uma recomposição do religioso, que passa a ganhar novos contornos, do que para uma ênfase num discurso proselitista e puramente religioso.

proselytizing discourse

Proselytizing is the act of attempting to convert people to another opinion and, particularly, another religion. The word proselytize is derived ultimately from the Greek language prefix 'πρός' (towards) and the verb 'έρχομαι' (I come). Historically in the New Testament, the word proselyte denoted a person who had converted to Judaism. Though the word proselytism originally referred to Christianity, it is also used to refer to other religions' attempts to convert people to their beliefs or even any attempt to convert people to another point of view, religious or not. Today, the connotations of proselytizing are often negative and the word is commonly used to describe attempts to force people to convert.
