  • The Latin American Pentecostal Community of Superdiverse Berchem
    The Latin American Pentecostal community of superdiverse Berchem Marco Jose Rueda Aguila Anr: 688984 Master’s Thesis Communication and Information Sciences Specialization: Data Journalism Faculty of Humanities Tilburg University, Tilburg Supervisor: prof. dr. J.M.E. Blommaert Second Reader: dr. M. Spotti October 2016 Abstract: The globalization and the gradual increase of worldwide information and communication technologies has brought deep transformations in some of the landscapes of European urban areas. Such changes are related as well with the escalation of international migration, which means an unprecedented mixture of people with different cultural and ethnic backgrounds living in the same environment. This phenomenon, which is called super-diversity, demands new formulas aimed at solving people identity, adaptation and integration challenges arisen from this complex situation. In this context, the ethnographic study of a community reveals itself as a powerful technique to observe and comprehend who are them, where are they from and how do they relate with their host country as well as with their country of origin. In particular, this study revolves around the Latin American Pentecostal community of Berchem, an Antwerp’s district in which ‘superdiverse’ features are found. Pentecostal churches are one of the most significant appearances in the neighbourhood within the last ten years. The research discloses the way in which Pentecostal churchers are connected to the last stage of migration by investigating their role within the community in which they operate. These places, which are a matter of debate among public institutions in Belgium, provide social and emotional assistance to their converts, which makes of them important infrastructures in superdiverse environments.
