Abstract
Impulsando la emergencia de nuevos actores políticos, definiendo mediaciones novedosas o
resolviéndose como resistencias para preservar la tradición o encarar sus dislocaciones, la innovación
religiosa sigue ofreciendo a los científicos sociales un asombroso y constante estallido
de fragmentaciones, transformismos, hibridaciones y nuevas cartografías que desdibujan los
límites con los que se pensaban las religiones. Este artículo versará sobre dos etnografías
situadas en perspectiva. Una de ellas muestra cómo la Teología de la Liberación proporciona
a la población indígena espacios en los que plantear nuevos modelos de convivencia, objeto
del trabajo que ha venido realizando Pilar Gil en la diócesis de San Cristóbal de Las Casas,
Chiapas (México). La segunda se detiene en el análisis de la incipiente construcción política
de las organizaciones evangélicas gitanas desde un abordaje multisituado, así como su expansión
en redes europeas y latinoamericanas, investigación de la que se ocupa Manuela Cantón.
Driving the emergence of new political actors, defining new mediations or resulting in resistances whose aim is to preserve tradition or confront their displacement, religious innovation continues to offer social scientists astonishing and constant splintering, transmutations, hybridity and new maps blurring the limits of what is thought about religions. This paper deals with two ethnographies in this perspective. One of these shows how Liberation Theology provides the indigenous population a forum in which they can find new models of co-existence. This is the aim of the work carried out by Pilar Gil in the dioceses of San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas (Mexico). The second focuses on the analysis of the embryonic political construction of the evangelical gypsy organisations from a multicentric approach, as well as its expansion in European and Latin American networks, and is the aim of the research Manuela Cantón has been carrying out for the last few years.
