Family, Reproduction and Religious Ethos in Brazil

Abstract

Based on primary ethnographic research conducted by its authors, this article aims to deepen the hypothesis that contemporary Western societies are not only pervaded by lay, non-denominational, structuring values such as those of individual “freedom” (choice, subjectivity, autonomy, etc.) and “nature” (life, blood, science) but that they play a crucial role in defining key aspects of private ethos (virginity, abortion and homosexuality) and thereby encompass not only the alternatives pursued by the doctrinal and pastoral guidelines of specific religions, but also the differing dispositions of religious adherence found among social subjects.
