Produção da subjetividade no meio idolátrico: uma perspectiva de revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

This work aims to investigate the ways in which the themes of idolatry and fanaticism have been worked on in scientific literature and what relationships have been made with the field of Psychology, using a bibliographic review methodology. This research explored the theme of idolatry and fanaticism, revisiting some approaches within Social Psychology that were dedicated to studying the masses and large groups from a historical perspective. The study involved the analysis of seven selected articles, highlighting the different approaches and methodologies used to investigate the relationship between idolatry, fanaticism, and the relationship between idols and fans. The research revealed that idolatry and fanaticism manifest themselves in different contexts, such as media, sport, music and religion, and are deeply linked to the construction of individual and collective identity. We also highlight the situation of the highlighted topic, seeking to point out possibilities for future investigations, especially with regard to the effects of idolatry on mental health.
