Sumario: | This paper seeks to comprehend the communicational processes that constitute contemporary religions and religiosities. For this, firstly, it deepens the conceptualization around mediatization and digital mediatization, from the relations among societies, technologies and meanings. Then, from the context of the new communicational actions and practices, it reflects on the relationship between the digital environment and the religious phenomenon, pointing to the digital specificity of the mediatization of contemporary religion.As an analysis case, it examines the page Diversidade Católica on Facebook, for it points to processes of transformation of Catholicism, in its specificities, in the contemporary cultural melting pot. In conclusion, it states that it is possible to see that mediatization, in its digital dimension, pluralizes the very notion of religion and religiosity. In online communicational networks, the religious phenomenon manifests itself not only through actions of religation (religare) between the human and the divine, but mainly of reconnection among the human, the social, the technological, the symbolic, and the sacred.(Complete article in spanish language). |
