description The article proposes to discuss the role of the Brazilian Spiritist Federation through its periodical Reformador, in the face of some criminal processes in which spiritist citizens became involved for adopting practices considered antisocial and anomic. These citizens started to be inserted by the political, law enforcement and medical authorities in what was legally called sciolism and healerism. In the Penal Code of 1890, spiritist practices were criminalized in articles 156, 157 and 158 of the aforementioned code, especially in article 157. The social agents involved in criminal proceedings, especially lawyers and judges, were in charge of differentiating conceptually, what was religious and what was wizardry. As well as what was belief and what was exploration, in a tangle of subjective practices and representations of what was understood to be Spiritism.

El artículo pretende discutir la actuación de la Federación Espiritista Brasileña a través de su periódico Reformador, ante algunos procesos penales en los que se vieron involucrados ciudadanos espiritistas por adoptar prácticas consideradas antisociales y anómalas. Estos ciudadanos empezaron a ser incluidos por las autoridades políticas, policiales y médicas en lo que legalmente se conoció como charlatanería y curanderismo. En el Código Penal de 1890, las prácticas espiritistas estaban penalizadas en los artículos 156, 157 y 158 de dicho código, especialmente en el artículo 157. Los agentes sociales implicados en los procesos penales, especialmente abogados y jueces, tenían la tarea de diferenciar conceptualmente lo que era religioso y lo que era mágico. Así como lo que era creencia y lo que era explotación, en una maraña de prácticas y representaciones subjetivas de lo que se entendía por espiritismo. O artigo propõe discutir a atuação da Federação Espírita Brasileira (FEB)através do seu periódico Reformador, diante de alguns processos criminais em que cidadãos espíritas se envolveram por adotarem práticas consideradas antissociais, anômicas e contra à saúde pública. Estes cidadãos passaram a ser inseridos pelas autoridades políticas, policiais e médicas no que juridicamente ficou denominado de charlatanismo e curandeirismo. No Código Penal de 1890, práticas espíritas foram criminalizadas no artigo 157 com a possibilidade de serem também enquadradas no artigo 156 e 158. Aos agentes sociais envolvidos nos processos criminais, sobretudo advogados e juízes, coube a tarefa de diferenciar conceitualmente o que era religioso e o que era magia. O que era crença e o que era exploração, num emaranhado de práticas e representações subjetivas do que se compreendia como sendo Espiritismo. 2021-09-22 2022-03-18T18:33:49Z 2022-03-18T18:33:49Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/14895 10.52780/res.14895 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63417 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/14895/11307 Copyright (c) 2021 Estudos de Sociologia application/pdf FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial Estudos de Sociologia; v. 26 n. 51 (2021): Dossiê: Religião, espaço público e política: novos desafios históricos e teórico metodológicos 1982-4718 1414-0144
