Item type:Publication, La fe en la protesta: discursos y representaciones religiosas contestatarias en el estallido social (2022-2023) en Perú(Arturo Prat University, 2025-10-27)This article analyzes the discourses and strategies of participation of religious actors—linked to Catholicism and evangelical Protestantism—in the citizen protest movements that took place between December 2022 and March 2023, which constituted one of the most critical social conflicts in contemporary Peruvian political life, as they called into question the democratic mechanisms for responding to the protests and revealed the accentuation of practices of discrimination and stigmatization against historically excluded sectors of the country. In this context, we are interested in highlighting, on the one hand, the impact of the religious factor—in its various forms—on the production of a type of memory and thematization of current social conflicts. On the other hand, we place on the agenda for discussion the way in which certain religious agents, through their participation in protests, generate disruptions that cause discomfort not only at the level of political power, but also at the level of institutionalized ecclesiastical spheres themselves. The actors we analyze represent the rebellious face of religion in Peru, which contrasts with the theological discourse and political strategy of conservative and neo-fundamentalist groups and movements.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Discours des religieux sur la pandémie au Pérou (2020–2021) : se conformer aux directives de l'État ou les rejeter ? Faire confiance à Dieu et/ou à la science ?(SAGE Publishing, 2025-06-01)This article analyzes the official position of Peruvian religious institutions, particularly Pentecostal ones, in response to the health emergency of COVID-19 (2020–2021), in the context characterized by precarity and multiple deficiencies. Using netnography and an ethnographic case study method, we examine the reactions of various churches. While a significant sector of the religious field, generally the most institutionalized, remained officially confident in the scientific approach assumed by the government to confront the pandemic, others, inspired by transnational connections related to North American conservative currents and promoting conspiracy theories and eschatological views, have introduced more ambiguous, even dissenting, discourses. Our analysis shows that diversity exists in the most structured institutions such as the Catholic Church and some dogmatic independent churches. Many members maintain their independence and do not follow the leaders' instructions.1
