Red De Investigadores Del Fenómeno Religioso En México XX Encuentro de la RED DE INVESTIGADORES DEL FENÓMENO RELIGIOSO EN MÉXICO Religión y Migración en México y en México de Afuera Religion and Migration in Greater Mexico 31 Mayo al 2 Junio, 2017 Claremont Graduate University Claremont, California, USA RELIGIÓN Y MIGRACIÓN EN MÉXICO Y EN MÉXICO DE AFUERA A pesar de las expectativas sobre el inevitable eclipse de la religión a la sombra de una modernidad secularizante, el fenómeno religioso perdura y se diversifica. En el caso de México, las tradiciones indígenas religiosas se renuevan, los cultos de santos siguen creciendo aún allende la frontera, el pluralismo religioso sigue ampliándose, y se ve un intensificado protagonismo público de distintas religiones en torno a los debates sobre las definiciones del matrimonio y la familia. El fenómeno religioso sigue siendo objeto de investigación enfocada y comparativa en un país que cuenta con 32 entidades federadas, que componen muchas regiones distintas, en las que se registran 62 lenguas indígenas, y que tienen una complicada historia de relaciones Iglesia-Estado. La religiosidad popular que se desenvuelve en contextos cada vez más abigarrados— sociales, económicos, políticos, étnicos, y geográficos—sigue invitando a una investigación profunda, meticulosa, y rigurosa. Imagen de portada: “Dime con quien andas,” por Alvaro Daniel Márquez Del Consejo de la RIFREM La Red de Investigadores del Fenómeno Religioso en México (RIFREM) es una red de intercambio de experiencias de estudio de las creencias, de las prácticas y de las instituciones religiosas desde la perspectiva de las ciencias sociales y las humanidades. Nos interesa comprender cómo contribuyen las creencias, las prácticas y las instituciones religiosas a conformar la vida social, económica, política y cultural y, recíprocamente, como esos procesos sociales contribuyen a moldear las creencias y las instituciones religiosas. La historia nos ha mostrado que las religiones migran sin reconocer fronteras y que en esas migraciones se transforman y transforman las sociedades en las que se asientan; que pueden ser puentes que unen a las personas entre sí, y con sus lugares de origen cuando son migrantes, y también pueden ser muros que los dividen y posturas que los enfrenten. Como estudiosos de las religiones nos interesa conocer, entre otras cosas, los qué, los cómo y los por qué de esos procesos. Estamos convencidos de que los conocimientos tampoco reconocen fronteras, y hemos extendido nuestra Red fuera de México incluyendo a investigadores sudamericanos, centroamericanos y norteamericanos. Esta es la segunda vez en la que llevamos a cabo nuestro encuentro anual en los Estados Unidos de América; la anterior fue hace 10 años en Arizona. En esta ocasión agradecemos a hospitalidad de la Claremont Graduate University, y damos la bienvenida a las y los colegas investigadores del fenómeno religioso a lo que, sin duda, será un intercambio académico fructífero.

  • Final Thesis
    1 THE CULT OF SANTA MUERTE: THE DOMESTICATION OF SANCTITY A THESIS Presented to The Department of Religion The Colorado College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts By Rachel M. Seto-Templeton March/2014 2 Santa Muerte is a contradictory, transgressive, immoral saint that is venerated and beloved by millions. Her cult following has mushroomed over the course of the past decade or so. She is unsanctioned by the Catholic Church as well as by the Mexican government. What causes people who claim to be practicing Catholics to continue to venerate her despite the official condemnation of her cult, and what is the cause of her immense popularity? I seek to interpret the cult of Santa Muerte through Georges Bataille’s Theory of Religion. In Bataille’s Theory of Religion, he explains how people are searching for lost intimacy with the sacred. By “the sacred,” he is referring to a state of consciousness in which humans experience a continuity in which they do not distinguish themselves as separate from everything else. Bataille explains how continuity is disrupted by the subject-object relationship and distinction of an individual as separate from an “other.” This disruption is what characterizes a state of consciousness that Bataille calls discontinuity. Discontinuity is what Bataille considers the profane, and the disruption of consciousness is what keeps people subordinate to a state of awareness in “the world of things.” Although all humans come from this state of continuity, they are now subordinate to discontinuity. People are only able to obtain momentary states of continuous consciousness through sacrifice, ritual, and subverting morality.

  • Syncretic Santa Muerte: Holy Death and Religious Bricolage
    religions Article Syncretic Santa Muerte: Holy Death and Religious Bricolage Kate Kingsbury 1,* and R. Andrew Chesnut 2 1 Anthropology Department, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6G 2HV, Canada 2 School of World Studies, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA 23284, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In this article, we trace the syncretic origins and development of the new religious move- ment centered on the Mexican folk saint of death, Santa Muerte. We explore how she was born of the syncretic association of the Spanish Catholic Grim Reapress and Pre-Columbian Indigenous thanatologies in the colonial era. Through further religious bricolage in the post-colony, we describe how as the new religious movement rapidly expanded it integrated elements of other religious traditions, namely Afro-Cuban Santeria and Palo Mayombe, New Age beliefs and practices, and even Wicca. In contrast to much of the Eurocentric scholarship on Santa Muerte, we posit that both the Skeleton Saint’s origins and contemporary devotional framework cannot be comprehended without considering the significant influence of Indigenous death deities who formed part of holistic ontologies that starkly contrasted with the dualistic absolutism of European Catholicism in which life and death were viewed as stark polarities. We also demonstrate how across time the liminal power of death as a supernatural female figure has proved especially appealing to marginalized Citation: Kingsbury, Kate, and R. socioeconomic groups.

Jagiellonian University, Cracow (Poland) Abstract The proposed paper discusses applicability of semiotic approach inspired by the work of Boris Uspienski to analysis of syncretic processes in the cult of Santa Muerte (Saint Death), a controversial folk saint. Although Santa Muerte enjoys growing popularity in Mexico and neighboring countries, the details concerning the cult have been hardly investigated. One of the reasons for Santa Muerte's popularity is the cult’s extensive presence in mass media. The absence of a central institution that would establish the canon of beliefs as well as the individual character of the cult, leaves its iconography and ritual practice open to influences of various spiritual currents. Santa Muerte is associated with a number of other popular, formal and informal, Mexican saints, such as the Virgin of Guadalupe, Jesus Malverde or San Pascual, often through a direct identification, or by assuming wife/helper functions. Urban curers having Santa Muerte as their patron saint intermingle elements of folk Catholicism, Spiritualism, and indigenous healing methods in their ritual practice. In the Afro-Christian Santeria, Santa Muerte is identified with Yemayá, a goddess-saint connected with sea and maternity. In addition, the cult of Santa Muerte has been strongly influenced by commercial esoteric. There is also a clearly traceable impact of heavy metal aesthetics on the iconography of Santa Muerte, that in turn intensifies the popular, erroneous association of the cult with Satanism.

  • Santa Muerte Honors Thesis Master File.Docx
    VENERATING DANGER: IDENTITY AND RITUAL IN THE CULT OF SANTA MUERTE by Kailey Muñoz Honors Thesis Appalachian State University Submitted to the Department of Philosophy and Religion in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts May 2021 Laura Ammon, Ph.D., Thesis Director Cuong Mai, Ph.D., Second Reader Laura Ammon, Ph.D., Departmental Honors Director Santa Muerte is a Mexican folk saint that is the female personification of death. The cult of Santa Muerte is characterized as being one of the fastest-growing religious movements in the Americas, with an estimated 10 to 12 million devotees. This large following was amassed quite quickly as the cult has only become widely public since 2001. This growing popularity for Santa Muerte hints at the many appealing qualities she has. Arguably one of her most enticing characteristics is her multidimensionality. Even though she is the saint of death she deals with a variety of issues and concerns that her devotees have. Santa Muerte is most commonly known for being the saint of healing, wisdom, prosperity, protection, love sorcery, justice, and even vengeance. It is through this multifaceted aspect of her character that many of her devotees feel like they can come to her for any reason. In this cult there is a strong emphasis on the materiality and physicality of Santa Muerte’s multidimensionality. This is best expressed through the different colored votive candles that are each representative of a different aspect of Santa Muerte’s character. Red symbolizes her work with love and troubles of the heart.

La presente propuesta llama a incluir en el análisis del culto a la Iglesia católica, que en el caso estudiado: el área metropolitana de Guada- lajara en México, es la iglesia de origen de los devotos, como una institución que en la cotidianidad del devoto a la Santa Muerte y desde su perspectiva, no ha tenido la capacidad de satisfacer sus necesidades prácticas y religiosas. El artículo retrata las características del culto y su relación con el catolicismo. De igual manera, da cuenta del proceso que lleva al católico excluido e insatisfecho simbólicamente a convertirse en devoto a la Santa Muerte.
