| dc.description.abstract | Brazil is a country with a big variety of religious groups and one among those are the Calvinist protestants. Intending to have a bright spectrum of how religious literacy practices are built in this Christian group, is that the present research aims to investigate how is the Holy Communion from a Protestant church in the Porto Alegre region built as a literacy event. As specific objectives, this study aims to observe which roles multimodality and (i)mmateriality play as meaning-makers to the researched literacy event and comprehend how performativity helps to build the meaning of the Holy Communion. Methodologically, this study is situated as qualitative research and has an ethnographic nature, making use of different instruments to generate data such as semi-structured interviews, notes in a field diary, recording of literacy events and application of questionnaires. Based on the analysis, it was found that multimodality together with performative acts based on biblical texts constitutes a dispositional arrangement (BRAGA, 2018) for the construction of the meaning of the Holy Communion literacy event, configuring it as such. This research contributes to the record of existing Protestant religious spaces in our country, especially in Rio Grande do Sul, as well as allows us to understand how religious literacy practices are built. | en |
