Abstract

After a period in which secularization was undertaken as a – linear and teleological – hegemonic explanatory model in the social sciences, it became necessary to find, in the context of multiple modernities, other ways of access to the places of religious’ reconfiguration. In this context, it became decisive to re-approximate, at different scales, the scientific lenses to the places in which the new relations between the religious sphere and the other social worlds are being built, through the mediation of the displacements of the sacred. This essay explores the domain of contemporary musical creation as a laboratory for the discovery of these new configurations.
