“…I argue that the exploration of the agency of Argentinean believers (Catholics, Evangelicals, Others and Non-Affiliated) of lower socioeconomic status will help us understand the dynamics of the religious field in a context other than France. In Argentina, and in Latin America, religion has been used as a tool of resistance and emancipation (Levine, 2012;Morello et al, 2017;Rey, 1998), and non-specialists have been creative in their religious practices (Ameigeiras, 2008;Semán, 1997).…”

This article explores the paradox between Pope Francis’s success as a critic of global markets and the limitations of his religious capital in his home country of Argentina. While for some observers it might be obvious that the pope can influence people’s thinking about social and political matters, the findings of this article highlight the role of ‘non-specialist’, ordinary believers in setting limits to Francis’s religious power. Using Bourdieusian theory and a ‘lived religion’ methodological approach, I explore the agency of ordinary believers in the religious field. By studying the limits regular believers established to the efficacy of Pope Francis’s religious capital, we better understand how the agency of non-specialists operates in the religious field. This research is based on a non-random sample of semi-structured, in-depth interviews of 42 lower socioeconomic status interviewees, self-identified as Catholics, Evangelicals, Others and Non-Affiliated; conducted in Córdoba, Argentina from November 2015 to December 2016.

“…De esta manera, es necesario realizar un análisis visual de las imágenes, apelando al sentido común de esa visualidad (Caggiano, 2012) significados y modos de producción y circulación (Poole, 2000;Barrios, 2015), sobre todo, por su relación con las instituciones, el discurso y las relaciones de poder. Este análisis socio-semiótico se nutre también de aportes provenientes de los estudios de las representaciones sociales (Cebrelli y Arancibia 2005;Cebrelli, 2022), la comunicación (Barrios, 2015(Barrios, , 2016Nava Le Favi, 2013Martin-Barbero, 1989 y la religiosidad popular (Semán, 2004;Ameigeiras, 2008). En tanto se pensará al meme como una congregación de adhesiones y/o repudios capaces de detonar una expansión de reacciones y re-significaciones (Zegada Claure y Guardia Crespo, 2018).…”

El Gauchito Gil ha adquirido un protagonismo que se ve reflejado en la aparición de su imagen dentro de memes que los diversos usuarios crean y comparten con la intención —quizás— de divertir o incluso generar polémicas. En Salta, puntualmente, dentro de los grupos de Facebook, se puede observar la presencia de representaciones sociales referidas a este santo popular en estrecho diálogo con la cultura salteña. De esta manera, la presente indagación tiene como finalidad realizar un análisis socio-semiótico de los memes en diálogo con las teorías de la comunicación, la cultura y la religiosidad. Los memes que se incluyen en el análisis pueden ser entendidos como los escenarios donde se presentaron construcciones de representaciones identitarias, territoriales y estigmatizantes ligadas al culto del Gauchito Gil.

“…While Latin American religious culture has been shaped by Native, Afro, and Christian religiosities, today most urban believers have access to narratives and symbols from different religious, spiritual, and secular traditions. That diversification of idioms is a novelty that nurtures everyday religiosity in today's Latin America (Ameigeiras, 2008;Fernandes, 2022;Pew Research Center, 2014;Rabbia et al, 2019).…”

“…Sometimes, these spots are built around official religious idioms (Native deities, crosses, images of the virgin Mary, saints). However, people also add other mementos, sculptures, pictures of persons dead and alive, flowers, cards, and candles -things that are deemed 'other than' similar ones that remain in the mundane (Ameigeiras, 2008;De La Torre, 2012Pérez, 2019;Suárez, 2015).…”

From a sociological perspective, sacredness is a social construction. In this article, I stand at the intersection of the tradition of domestic shrines and the contemporary use of photography, from a perspective of lived religion. The aim is to clarify what are the sacred realities that structure daily life for Latin American participants. I argue that the practice of displaying pictures at home is a form of ‘sacralization practice’. The research is based on data from a sample of 25 respondents from three cities (Córdoba, Argentina; Lima, Perú; Montevideo, Uruguay), four religious affiliations (Catholics, Protestants, Umbanda, Non-Affiliated), and two socioeconomic statuses (lower and upper/middle). Employing a layered analysis of pictures displayed at home (PDH), I studied the materiality, the context of the display, and the motifs portrayed. The results show that participants, both religious and non-affiliated, sacralize foundational relationships and moments, even the events scholars disregard.
