Anthropological Itinerary: culture, religiosity and social relations (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9786207982578)

This intellectual journey proposes a reflection on the study of culture, religiosity and social relations. This research is engaged in anthropological research, which has allowed greater attention to be paid to phenomena that had simply been invisibilised in contemporary times. In this way, the study of today's social relations has blossomed into a scientific analysis in the perspective emphasised by Michel Maffesoli, who proposes that it is necessary to demarcate the path of post-modernity, just as Descartes did when he delimited that of modernity. The thinking of the latter and several other theorists, advocates of abstract reason, in which the representation of the idea is separated from life, can no longer prevail in contemporary times, which is a historical moment in which appearance, common sense or lived experience, through internal reason, regain an importance that modernity had denied them, namely: it is necessary to illuminate the thoughts that remained in the leftovers of hegemonic reason, what Boaventura de Sousa Santos called 'epistemicides'.
