El Métraux haitiano. La construcción de una etnología religiosa by Fernando Giobellina Brumana

“…Métraux achieves several key theoretical and methodological innovations in this book: 1. the search for a kind of ritual syntax; 2. a focus on real practices instead of lettered formations of the cult; 3. an acknowledgement that voodoo is unmistakably Haitian and that its roots are European as much as African; 4. a rejection of the assumption that the Catholicism of voodoo adepts would be mere deception; 5. the identification of a narrative level where stories of the gods’ avatars are replaced by tales of their interventions in the life of humans. At the same time, it explores Alfred Métraux’s relationships with some scholars that preceded him on the matter, with researchers that studied voodoo as well, and with the intermediaries that facilitated his investigation.…”

Market as Religion: The Dynamics of Business Network in Megachurches by Roberto Bazanini, Celso Machado

“…The results show that in the competitive market of symbolic goods of religion, the magnitude and sumptuousness of megatemples construct a brand image that places the theological concerns of a future life or of salvation in the background, prioritizing practical solutions to everyday problems .The contribution of the research is to explain how the neopentescostal churches reinterpret traditional values of religiosity, by accepting with naturalness what had been rejected by traditional Protestantism and, thus, to consolidate and at the same time to legitimize the new dynamics of the religions that they act with the logic of the market.…”
