Título: "O ethos narcorreligioso" : "deus, o comando e o cárcere" : discursos e práticas narcorreligiosas do PCC na governabilidade do sistema prisional da Paraíba Autor(es): Sepúlveda, Priscilla de Alencar Orientador: Lemos, Fernanda Abstract: This research aims to analyze how narcoreligious discourses and practices, in conjunction with processes of criminalization, induce governability and the production of subjectivities within the prison environment of Paraíba, Brazil. Neoliberal policies contribute to the strengthening of the Penal State, which is marked by the use of incarceration as a dispositif of power, leading to a tightening of punitive and social control. In this investigation, we seek to study religion as a social phenomenon and a regime of truth embedded in power relations, knowledge, and subjectivation processes. We also aim to understand how neoliberal rationality and penal management foster the strengthening and expansion of the PCC (Primeiro Comando da Capital) and its criminal/narcoreligious ethos, and ultimately to identify the role of the PCC in shaping the narcoreligious ethos within the prison system of Paraíba. To this end, we first engage in a critical literature review of foundational concepts and the state of the art. In a second phase, focusing on common themes such as religion, crime, and the prison system, we draw upon contemporary debates that ground our initial discussions. Methodologically, the research combines an extensive bibliographic and documentary review with qualitative, ethnographic fieldwork, employing techniques such as structured interviews and participant observation. In our epistemological journey, we rely on classical discussions and authors within the fields of Religious Studies, Sociology, and Criminology, in dialogue with Foucault’s Analytics of Power. We engage with thinkers such as Émile Durkheim, Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Foucault, Wendy Brown, Christian Laval, Pierre Dardot, among other notable scholars. Our thesis is that religion, when lived and embodied through discourses and subjectivation processes, contributes to the consolidation of a logic of order, power, and governmentality—particularly within the prison environment—through the identity construction of the criminal subject, namely the narcoreligious ethos, intertwined with neoliberal governance of criminal economic practices.; RESUMEN Esta investigación tiene como objetivo general analizar cómo los discursos y prácticas narcorreligiosas, aliadas a los procesos de criminalización, inducen a una gobernabilidad y a la producción de subjetividades en el entorno penitenciario de Paraíba, Brasil. Las políticas neoliberales contribuyen al fortalecimiento del Estado Penal, el cual se caracteriza por el uso del encarcelamiento como un dispositivo de poder, orientado al recrudecimiento del control punitivo y social. En esta investigación, buscamos estudiar la religión como fenómeno social y régimen de verdad arraigado en las relaciones de poder, saber y en los procesos de subjetivación; así como comprender cómo la racionalidad neoliberal y la gestión penal favorecen el fortalecimiento y expansión del PCC (Primer Comando de la Capital) y de su ethos criminal/narcorreligioso. Finalmente, pretendemos identificar la actuación del PCC en el sistema penitenciario de Paraíba en la formación del ethos narcorreligioso. Para ello, recurrimos en una primera etapa a estudios de revisión sobre los conceptos fundamentales y al estado del arte; y en una segunda etapa, para el estudio de temáticas comunes como religión, crimen y sistema penitenciario, seleccionamos algunos debates contemporáneos que orientan nuestras discusiones iniciales. Metodológicamente, realizamos una amplia revisión bibliográfica y documental, además de una investigación de campo con enfoque cualitativo y etnográfico, utilizando instrumentos técnicos como entrevistas estructuradas y observación participante. En nuestro recorrido epistemológico, dialogamos con debates y autores clásicos en el ámbito de las Ciencias de la Religión, la Sociología y la Criminología, articulados con la Analítica del Poder de Michel Foucault. Entre los autores que guiaron nuestro análisis se encuentran Émile Durkheim, Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Foucault, Wendy Brown, Christian Laval, Pierre Dardot, entre otros pensadores destacados. Nuestra tesis sostiene que la religión, vivida e incorporada en discursos y procesos de subjetivación, contribuye al fortalecimiento de una lógica de ordenamiento, poder y gubernamentalidad, especialmente en el entorno carcelario, a partir de la construcción identitaria del sujeto criminal, es decir, del ethos narcorreligioso, vinculado a la gestión neoliberal de las prácticas económicas criminales.

Título: Espiritualidade e educação emocional : análise a partir da percepção dos estudantes da rede municipal de ensino da cidade de Queimadas - PB Autor(es): Delgado, Dedjany de Mendonça Orientador: Gonsalves, Elisa Pereira Abstract: This study, developed within the Spirituality and Health research line of the Graduate Program in Religious Studies, engages in the discussion about the perceptions of students from the final years of Elementary School at Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Tertuliano Maciel, located in Queimadas, Paraíba, regarding to the relationship between Emotional Education and Spirituality. The subject of Emotional Education has been incorporated into the curriculum of all schools in the municipality since 2019, it has provided a privileged space to observe this interaction. The main objective of the research was to analyze students’ perceptions of the relationship between Emotional Education and Spirituality, seeking to understand how these concepts interconnect and identify educational elements capable of fostering the awakening of spirituality. This is a qualitative study aimed at understanding the subjective experiences of students in Emotional Education classes, with data collected through semi-structured interviews. The results indicated that the Emotional Education subject can be configured as a pedagogical path for the flourishing of spirituality, as it has encouraged emotional self- regulation, self-care, empathy, and respect for others. The classroom practices, although devoid of religious connotation, have promoted inner states of calmness, well-being, lightness, confidence, and peace, elements that have expressed a non-religious spirituality oriented toward the integration of human dimensions. In this context, the physical body has played an essential role, as it is through the body that emotional and spiritual experiences manifest and become perceptible, revealing the unity between body, mind, emotions, and spirit. The research draws on authors such as Bucke (1996), Weil (2017), Röhr (2011), and Possebon (2016) to understand the integrality of being and spirituality, and on Bisquerra (2003), Cassassus (2017), and Possebon & Possebon (2024) to support the theoretical framework of Emotional Education. It is concluded that Spirituality and Emotional Education are inseparable dimensions in the integral constitution of the human being, converging toward the construction of a culture of peace in which each individual is invited to recognize their own inner self and to respect the path of others. Moreover, these dimensions influence behavior and strengthen the bonds that sustain social life, showing that spiritual and emotional diversity is an essential part of the human condition.
