The Structure of Beliefs and Religious Practices in Spain
The aim of this paper is to critically analyse the structure of religious beliefs and practices in Spain today. In order to approach this task, we have developed a research design that revolves around two analytical cores. The first is of a more descriptive-argumentative nature, where we present the Spanish religious reality by studying available data from relevant statistical sources, specifically, the Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas and …
Sociological genealogy of a non-teleological concept of evolution
The aim of this article is to carry out a sociological-conceptual genealogy of the evolutionist perspective (non-teleological) of approaching social reality. While during the first phases of modernity, a teleological and progressive conception of evolution was imposed, clearly manifested in the proposals of Auguste Comte or Herbert Spencer, in the last decades important bifurcations, processes, and developments have emerged that question the line…
The Evolutionary Masks of Love
The aim of this paper is to establish a series of links between some of the main religious formulas that arise in Judaism and Christianism and the romantic and confluent love characteristic of modern societies. To carry it out, firstly, we analyze love in historical Judaism, reflecting on the Ahavah formula, the predominant formula in this religious context. Secondly, to study the Christian drift of love, we first analyze how the emergence of thi…
A sociological genealogy of transcendence
The aim of this article is to carry out a sociological genealogy of transcendence - understood as a condition of possibility of creativity - articulated from three milestones in its conceptual evolution: The first focuses on the study of the link between transcendence and religiosity in the scenario of primitive societies. We will stop to study how, as Émile Durkheim shows in The Elementary Forms of Religious Life, in this type of society transce…
Have the Inhabitants of France, Great Britain, Spain, and the US Been Secularized? An Analysis Comparing the Religious Data in These Countries
This paper carries out a comparative analysis of the religious beliefs and practices of residents in France, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America, using two waves of the World Values Survey. The main objective is to investigate the impact that secularization has had on the religious experience in these countries. More specifically, the prospection is carried out around the Christian creed in its Protestant and Catholic mani…
The Hegemonic Character of Techno-Functional Neo-Immanentism and Its Relationship with Culture Wars
This paper analyzes the social processes that have led to the consolidation of a technocratic secular order and the type of cultural struggle that has made this possible. To this end, it first proposes a reconstruction of the technocratic consciousness in the course of the secularization process that culminates in the technological determinism or technological solutionism of the social present; then, the analysis focuses on the neo-immanentist te…
Repensando la relación entre lo secular y lo religioso. Análisis de dos puntos ciegos asociados a la teoría de la secularización
El objetivo de este artículo es analizar dos confusiones o puntos ciegos asociados a la teoría de la secularización, fundamentalmente en lo que respecta a la relación que establece entre lo secular y lo religioso. Para ello tomamos como punto de partida el trabajo de José Casanova titulado Genealogías de la secularización, en el que estudia las tres sub-tesis a partir de las que se articula dicha teoría: diferenciación entre esferas seculares y r…
La trascendencia de la nación y de la persona
El presente trabajo tiene por objeto llevar a cabo un análisis de dos narrativas presentes en las sociedades actuales: la heroica-nacional y la post-heroica, que nos ofrecen una certera medida del carácter sacralizador o re-sacralizador de las sociedades modernas y seculares. Para llevar a cabo esta tarea, en un primer momento, estableceremos las bases conceptuales sobre las que se articulan los procesos de sacralización moderna, para lo que util…
The Role of Sacrifice in the Secular Age
Sacrifice was one of the main features of agro-pastoral societies
The Persistence of Sacrifice as Self-Sacrifice and Its Contemporary Embodiment in the 9/11 Rescuers and Covid-19 Healthcare Professionals
The aim of this paper is to analyze the persistence of sacrifice as self-sacrifice in contemporary societies. In order to reach this goal, firstly, we discuss how in the Axial Age (800-200 B.C.E.) an understanding of sacrifice as ritual worship or a ritual practice that involves the immolation of a victim became less prevalent and a new understanding of sacrifice emerges. This new notion of sacrifice focuses on individual relinquishment and gift …
Play, Game, and Videogame
The question, the Fragestellung, which drives this paper is, can football video-games be analyzed from a religious perspective? We can answer positively, at least, provisionally. First, in order to demonstrate our approach, we will take into account the different conceptions on play drawn along sociological theories. Second, we will analyze Francis M. Cornford's contribution to the already forgotten but essential work by Jane Ellen Harrison, Them…
La co-presencia de ritual, símbolo y logos en la cultura griega antigua
Frecuentemente pensamos la cultura de una sociedad como un conjunto de patrones de significado gestionados por la razón, por el Logos. Este trabajo se cuestiona dicho planteamiento y apuesta por la confluencia dinámica de aspectos mimético-rituales, de aspectos simbólico-míticos y de aspectos racionales. Utiliza como estudio de caso la transición de la religión griega antigua, representada por el mito-ritual del Enyautos-Daimon, que se refleja en…
El terrorista suicida a través del espejo social
Aquesta recensió pretén fer, des de la perspectiva de les ciències socials, una anàlisi comparativa de dues obres que han estudiat amb profunditat una de les contrafigures fonamentals del nostre temps: el terrorista suïcida. Aquest és, sens dubte, un dels grans estranys de la societat global –físicament proper però culturalment allunyat-rebutjat, com diria Georg Simmel. Són persones que semblen actuar en un altre pla de la realitat i amb altres c…
