Infância, conselhos tutelares e agendas conservadoras: ativismo religioso para além das fronteiras da escola

Abstract

This article analyzes the presence of religious individuals in guardianship councils and how occupying the debate on public policies for children and adolescents has become a space for producing legibility for certain individuals in politics. Thus, I intend to demonstrate that guardianship councils function as a kind of engagement technology, a place for exercising the most varied electoral pedagogies, serving as a space for training, testing, and learning for men and women who hold leadership positions in their faith communities – Evangelical churches or Catholic parishes –, without any political experience or experience as public servants.
