DEMERA VARGAS, Juan Diego. "DIOS ES AMOR" EN GUAMBIANO O LA FORMA DE CREAR UNA NUEVA RELIGIÓN: LA CIRCULACIÓN DE LAS PRÁCTICAS RITUALES Y LAS PERTENENCIAS ÉTNICAS. Antipod. Rev. Antropol. Arqueol. [online]. 2006, n.2, pp.253-273. ISSN 1900-5407.

In the middle of the transformations of religious modernity, Latin American ethnic groups have not remained static to the attacks on the reconstructions of identity, the new ways to find a sense in life, and the recent processes of conversion and evangelization. In the Colombian Andes, the Guambiano ethnic group has received the Protestant missionary's influence, but also it has looked for diverse cultural, symbolic and religious contacts with them. A Pentecostal church from Brazil, with multiple mystical and magical resources, attracts the Guambiano's interests, and through old Protestant believers it permits the religious manipulation of Catholicism, Protestantism and the indigenous religious practices with dialogue, superposition, and synthesis processes. This religious hybridation appears in an authentic ritual that remakes the concepts and the practices associated to the tradition, the transformation and the cultural memory of this ethnic group.

Palavras-chave : Memory; ritual; ethnicity; cultural change; Protestantism.
