Comércio de produtos religiosos em Porto Alegre : uma abordagem dos circuitos afro-brasileiro, esotérico e evangélico

Abstract

This work is related to trade in religious articles in the city center of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, and aims to analyze the religious stores of african-brazilian, esoteric and evangelical circuits in order to discover whether the practices religious are inserted in the market for religious products, and if so, identify how these practices make up the market for these articles. To do so, approach the trade in religious products as part of the circuit of each of the studied religions and seek to describe the context in which the stores are established as well as a little about your background, characteristics and relations with the public. Still, I try to analyze the objects offered in three religious circuits, seeking to identify the relationships between objects and religions.
