“…Studies on religious mediatization in Latin America show an enormous variety in the use and appropriation of the means to legitimize religious knowledge and practices, such as spiritual counseling programs on the radio, the resurgence of televangelists, the appearance of religious communities that are built on social networks, emerging trends in the rituals of civil religions, new sanctuaries for the devout masses, emerging trends across the full spectrum of the religious music industry, massive religious music concerts, the so-called religious 'youtubers', the phenomenon of religious influencers, etc. This growing variety of the modes of production of mediatized religious practice has generated-from the believers themselves-new forms, strategies and itineraries of consumption of religious goods (De la Torre and Gutiérrez 2005;do Nascimento Cunha 2007;Bellotti 2016;Oosterbaan 2017; De la Torre 2018; Algranti and Setton 2021;Bahamondes and Marín 2022).…”

The public face of religion in Latin America is undergoing constant transformation, and its relocation in the public sphere is part of a broader process of cultural and social change. This contemporary religious scene is characterized by a plurality of voices generated not only by traditional ecclesiastical institutions, but also by diverse practices and discourses where mediatization processes play an important role. This paper will examine how urban believers—mainly Catholics and evangelicals—are reconstructing and negotiating their religious identity and belonging, as well as their interactions in everyday life as participants in wider social contexts beyond traditional religious institutions in Lima, Peru, South America. It addresses questions such as how mediatized religious practices shape and re-signify religious identity, and how mediated religion facilitates the creation of new meanings, forms, and approaches of public engagement. I will also discuss how lived religion shapes the communicative practices and strategies of believers who are living out their beliefs in ways that go beyond traditional sacred places and spheres of secularity. This paper is part of a research project called “The Transformation of Lived Religion in Urban Latin America: A Study of Contemporary Latin Americans’ Experience of the Transcendent.”
