Este artículo transcribe y considera la discusión suscitada en Lima, Perú entre activistas y académicos de las Américas tras nuestra presentación de trabajos preliminares sobre religión y movimientos sociales progresistas. Al concluir las ponencias, planteamos al público varias preguntas para pensar sus experiencias con la religión en el marco de su activismo. El artículo intenta capturar el interés y la diversidad de intervenciones al invertir la dinámica etnográfica convencional, dándole prioridad al informante en lugar del investigador. Confirma así un importante deseo entre activistas de comentar y debatir el papel de la religión en las luchas sociales. Observamos una amplia gama de respuestas marcada en sus extremos por posiciones antagónicas. Algunos comentaristas representaron a la religión como la que acoge, protege y da fuerza a movimientos sociales y sus participantes. Otros ven en la religión un marco opresivo que conlleva legados históricos coloniales de machismo, verticalismo y pensamiento único.

Abstract

Abstract

This article transcribes and considers the discussion that ensued in Lima, Peru, between activists and academics from the Americas after we presented preliminary research on religion and progressive social movements. Following formal remarks, we posed several questions for the audience to reflect on, specifically regarding the place of religion in their activism. This article attempts to capture the resulting public interest and diversity of action by inverting the conventional ethnographic dynamic, prioritizing informants instead of researchers. It therefore confirms an important desire to comment on and debate the role of religion in social struggles. We observed a spectrum of responses marked at its extremes by antagonistic positions. Some represented religion as that which comforts, protects, and offers strength to social movements and their participants. Others see in religion an oppressive framework shaped by colonial legacies of machismo, verticalism, and homogeneous thinking.
