Formas de creer en la ciudad
El presente libro busca analizar la experiencia urbana y la religiosa para comprender su interacción fluida y compleja. Por medio de la geografía de ciudades de Argentina, Brasil, España, Estados Unidos, Francia y México establece sus coordenadas analíticas en el espacio público de la ciudad industrial, de las periferias, el barrio y la frontera. Las diversas formas de creer en la ciudad que se emplazan en esta obra ponen en juego las identidades, la memoria y la ciudadanía en distintas escalas espaciales, considerando tanto la pertenencia como la desafiliación religiosa. Asimismo, revelan diversas maneras de hacer frente a contextos de vulnerabilidad, precariedad o exclusión, como los marcados por la migración, las violencias y el género.
