abstract

  • This thesis is the result of an interdisciplinary excercise, both methodological and theorical, to observe and analyze the logics of the construction of subjectivity that intertwine in a pentecostal and evangelical church at the South of Bogotá, called Comunidad Pantokrator. There, christianism interacts and affects the most significant particularity of this church: the presence of metal and rock subcultures. In this encounter, that seems to be contradictory, there are social mechanisms that are part in the cosntruction of a subjectivity that refers to metal and christianity at the same time, which alters the way in which the attendees of Pantokrator understand themselves, their congregation and the social realities that they face everyday. This work describes the construction of this mechanisms and their operation on the hierarchical structure, the religious conversion and the assumption of their christian faith and the way in which they define their surrounding social world, especially other christian communities and the secular metal.
