LEIVA ESPITIA, ANDREA. WHEN CHRIST "GOT INTO" EL ISLOTE: EVANGELIC CULTS, RITUALISTIC ATMOSPHERE AND SOCIAL INTERACTIONS IN A CARIBBEAN ISLAND IN COLOMBIA. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2012, vol.48, n.2, pp.39-66. ISSN 0486-6525.
This article proposes an ethnographic approach to evangelic cults in the Islote, an insular area located in the Caribbean Coast of Colombia known for its high population density. The incursion of two foreigner pastors in 2010 is described and analysed in order to present a form of religiousness characterized by discontinuity and fluctuation. The article offers an alternative approach to most of the research done in the field of evangelic presence in Colombia, which usually describes urban churches as coherent and stable institutions. It focuses in the local performance of evangelic cult, understood as a setting of ritual devices, such as music and persuasive discourses that make explicit social features normally pushed into the background during interactions of everyday life.
