Secularizaciones y Manifestaciones Religiosas

Abstract

Secularization is an important phenomenon for understanding modern societies. But, if we observe the societies of the beginning of XXI century, we confirm that religious not only doesn´t disappear, but it besides emerges new and diverse ways of religiosity; and also the secular doesn´t impose definitely. This state obliges us to consider if ‘classic theory of secularization’ is valid –and if it is valid in what terms- for analyzing these concepts nowadays. To achieve this aim, we resort to two sources: the work of Jose Casanova Genealogías de la secularización (2012) -in which he proposes a revision of three of the main sub-thesis associate to secularization- and the evenly data of Religions monitor (Pickel, 2013) of Bertelsmann Foundation. After making this analysis we consider that- in the current context- it´s more suitable talk about ‘secularizations’ and ‘religious manifestations’ than ‘secularization’.
