La dramatización de la cultura. Los procesos de conversión evangélica Aymara (Chile)

Abstract

The evangelical movement has penetrated in a significant way in the Aymara population of the north of Chile. The aim of this article is to examine the relation between the Evangelical culture and the Catholic-Aymara culture in the Tarapacá region, emphasizing the sociocultural reconfigurations generated by the processes of religious conversion of the Aymara Pentecostals. From the analysis of interviews made to evangelical Aymara of this region, we will show how these reconfigurations take place at the personal the group and social levels within this population.
