A sociological analysis of daily life theology in comics

Abstract

This article analyzes, in the form of an analytical essay, the theoretical-methodological structures of the Daily Life Theology implemented by the theologian Iuri Andréas Reblin to analyze the entertainment products of the media Pop Culture, especially associated with comic books. It evaluates its bases in the theology of Paul Tillich and Rubem Alves and discusses an association of its procedures with the sociology of objects, emphasizing its borderline character. It discusses its methodological parameters that set the ways of doing a Theology of the Social applied to artistic and media entertainment objects of the drawn images, extracting a methodological theory from its essays. It ends by emphasizing the links between a theology of everyday life and a sociology of objects, clarifying that their differences are not in the methodological dimension of the steps taken to ensure the reliability of the analysis of what is subjective and the concern to analyze phenomena, but in the final objectives of the action.
