| Summary: | Aliens have become a prolific pop icon, especially throughout the 20th century. Western culture has seen the proliferation of first-hand accounts of contacts with beings from other planets, while the imagination has echoed and nurtured such an icon. As one result, alleged aliens have reinforced and expanded their religious dimension, especially among people for whom traditional religions no longer have sufficient appeal. A central process for the consolidation of aliens as pop icons and holders of religious functions and roles among diverse people is cultural hybridization, which is discussed in this article – based on Peter Burke’s theory (2001) – by comparing contexts that make use of the ceremonial drink Ayahuasca and that do not. Alienígenas se tornaram um profícuo ícone pop, especialmente ao longo do século XX. A cultura ocidental assistiu à proliferação de narrativas de primeira mão sobre contatos com seres de outros planetas, ao mesmo tempo em que o imaginário ecoou e alimentou tal ícone. Como um dos resultados, pretensos alienígenas tiveram reforçada e ampliada sua dimensão religiosa, especialmente entre pessoas para quem religiões tradicionais não têm mais suficiente apelo. A partir do conceito de hibridização cultural (Burke, 2003), este artigo investiga o papel das variadas combinações de referenciais culturais na emergência e no fortalecimento dos alienígenas enquanto ícone pop, imbuído de funções e papéis religiosos em contextos brasileiros que fazem uso da bebida cerimonial ayahuasca a partir de bibliografia pertinente e relatos colhidos em pesquisas xploratórias dos autores. |
