Abstract：
This article centres on contemporary mergers between state security practices, popular media and religion in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It discusses the actions and the representations of BOPE - Batalhão de Operações Especiais da Polícia Militar do Rio de Janeiro - the special operations battalion of the military police of Rio de Janeiro, to show how this unit frequently employs Christian symbols and practices to legitimate violence at the border between the legal and the illegal. BOPE\'s religious iconography is amplified by movies, memes, toys and popular clothing. BOPE\'s military pop-culture can best be regarded as theopolitical because such a perspective underscores the fact that different Christian symbols and practices, derived from Roman Catholicism and Pentecostalism, produce incoherent political theologies that are fuelled by bottom-up innovations and institutional legacies.
摘要：
本文集中于当代国家安全实践之间的合并，里约热内卢的大众媒体和宗教，巴西。它讨论了BOPE的行动和陈述-里约热内卢军事警察的特种作战营-里约热内卢的BatalhãodePolíciaEspeciaisdaPoliciaMilitardoRiodeJaneiro，以显示该单位如何在合法和非法之间的边界上经常使用基督教符号和做法来合法暴力。BOPE的宗教肖像被电影放大了，模因,玩具和流行的服装。BOPE的军事流行文化最好被认为是政治的，因为这样的观点强调了不同的基督教符号和实践，源自罗马天主教和五旬节信仰，产生由自下而上的创新和制度遗产推动的不连贯的政治神学。
