Ambiguities and tensions in the performances of singing priests: Father Alessandro Campos and Father Fábio de Melo.
Communication; Religion, Discourse; Performance; Music.
This research seeks, among its objectives, to tension the debate around the performances of Catholic priests, especially when they generate engagement beyond their links with Christian narratives. The problem is elaborated on a possible logic of construction of performativity, in which it is necessary to think of a set of ambiguities that allows to recognize Christian masculinities as places of encounter between the sacred and the profane. For this, the analysis is made from two priests, who have their media trajectories crossed by secular songs: Father Alessandro Campos and Father Fábio de Melo.
