Abstract
GONZALVEZ TORRALBO, Herminia and LARRAZABAL BUSTAMANTE, Sofia. Families and religiosity in Santiago, Chile: New meanings for traditional religious practices. Perf. latinoam. [online]. 2019, vol.27, n.54, 00015. ISSN 0188-7653. https://doi.org/10.18504/pl2754-015-2019.
This article aims to analyze religious practices in Santiago de Chile from an anthropologic approach. After applying several interviews, we found religiosity as an emergent category within kin work, concluding that women have been responsible for the transmission of beliefs and religious practices through celebrations. A main finding is that these practices are transformed as family members move along in their own life cycles, due to re-interpretations and new meanings discovered.
Keywords : family; kin work; religiosity; religious practices; meanings.
