Introduction: Religion and Science in Sociological Perspective: Assessing Their Relationship
The introduction to this special section identifies the need for a renewed focus on the sociological study of the relationship between “religion” and “science,” however these terms might be operationalized. The necessity of better understanding this relationship, it is argued, requires exploration beyond the US and Europe as well as recognition of the potential benefits of new approaches in the contexts where analyses of the religion-science rela…
Esto no es religión: La religión vivida como perspectiva
El artículo explora la perspectiva de la religión vivida, desafiando las categorías tradicionales de secularización y mercado religioso. El texto argumenta que medir la religiosidad solo a través de afiliación y asistencia al templo reduce la complejidad del fenómeno religioso en América Latina. En cambio, la perspectiva de la religión vivida al enfatizar el estudio de las prácticas cotidianas de los creyentes, permite recuperar características p…
Lived Religion in Latin America: An Enchanted Modernity
This book is about religion and modernity, how religion interacts with modern culture, and how modernity influences religion. “Modernity” signifies not only technological developments, but also the dynamics of capitalism, the differentiation of social functions, specialization of spheres of knowledge, and expansion of human rights. By religion is meant the cultural practices people use to connect with a suprahuman power that they experience as in…
Catholicism in Context: Religious Practice in Latin America
A critical problem to study Catholicism in the context of Latin American modernity, is that the conceptual tools we use to study religion were designed to understand the transformations that modernity provoked in European religiosity. Studies on the religion of Latin Americans have largely explored the religiosity of the population through surveys that measure attendance, adherence and affiliation. While some anthropologists have explored religio…
Exploring the Nonaffiliated in South America
This work explores the phenomenon of the “nonaffiliated” in Latin America and presents partial results of a qualitative research project that included in-depth interviews with fifty-eight nonaffiliated in Cordoba (Argentina), Lima (Peru), and Montevideo (Uruguay). After analyzing the main differences between nonbelievers and believers who have no religious affiliation, we propose a typology for understanding these two groups, which display great …
La religión como experiencia cotidiana: Creencias, prácticas y narrativas espirituales en Sudamérica
Qué hacen los habitantes de ciudades sudamericanas cuando hacen religión? Esa es la pregunta que intenta responder este libro. Para ello, un equipo de 11 investigadores en Boston (Estados Unidos), Córdoba (Argentina), Lima (Perú) y Montevideo (Uruguay), trabajó durante 3 años en la recolección y el análisis de entrevistas realizadas a más de 250 latinoamericanos en 3 ciudades diferentes. El libro se presenta como una contribución desde la sociolo…
Latin America’s Contemporary Religious Imaginaries
El Concilio Vaticano II y su impacto en América Latina: A 40 años de un cambio en los paradigmas en el catolicismo
En este artículo, el autor examina el recorrido operado en la Iglesia católica durante el Concilio Vaticano II. La influencia del Concilio en el catolicismo en esos años ayuda a explicar el auge de los movimientos “de izquierda” en la América Latina de los años sesenta. Se comienza rescatando algunos antecedentes que ayudan a entender mejor el cambio que significó el Concilio: los Pactos de Letrán, la Nouvelle Theologie , el movimiento ecuménico …
Secularización y derechos humanos: Actores católicos entre la dictadura argentina (1976) y la administración Carter (1977–1979)
Este trabajo analiza, en el contexto de la Guerra Fría y del terrorismo de Estado, el comportamiento de una red integrada por referentes religiosos que, articulados con organizaciones de la sociedad civil y del Estado lograron el cese de la ayuda militar norteamericana al gobierno argentino, el otorgamiento de asilo político a algunos ciudadanos argentinos y pedidos por otros detenidos desaparecidos. Los religiosos que formaban parte de esta red …
Catholicism(s), State Terrorism and Secularisation in Argentina
The aims of this article are to explore the diversity of Catholic reactions facing state terror in Córdoba, Argentina, during the 1970s and to analyse how different Catholic groups redefined their relations with the State in the public sphere. To do that, I will use case study methodology applied to the kidnapping of an American priest and five seminarians. I will show how religious beliefs shape to some extent how Catholic social actors respond …
El terrorismo de estado y el catolicismo en Argentina: El caso de los Misioneros de La Salette
The aim of this paper is, first, to explore the diversity of Catholic reactions\nfacing state terror in Córdoba, Argentina, during the 1970s. Second, I will analyze how\ndifferent Catholic groups, because of the state terror, redefined their relations with the\nchurch’s authority, the state’s power and the modernization process. This analysis will\nbe done by focussing on a case study, the so-called “La Salette case”, the kidnapping of\nan Americ…
Charles Taylor's `imaginary' and `best account' in Latin America
Imaginary is, in Taylor's thought, a category of understanding social praxis and the reasons people give to make sense of these practices. The ultimate reason is the hypergood, which influences the strong decisions. Those strong evaluations outline the moral framework from which people address their own lives and the lives of others. We only recognize our cultural framework as an `imaginary' — challenging the supposition it is something `objectiv…
