This paper focuses on contemporary religious practices and expressions of social groups influenced by the Catholic church in Western Mexico. The patronal festival in San Francisco Tesistán is exposed, under an ethnographic study, to describe its structure, organization and function. The category of popular religiosity is presented as an analytical model to address the explanations manifested in the social structure by the patron-client bond, providing meaning to the political, economic, and symbolic order. Reinforcing the category of popular religiosity, the analysis of the popular production points to subcultural groups within larger societies. Within this model, it seeks to contribute to the understanding of the “popular” in religious practices of a fragment of the population determined by the division of labor, in a space of invention, interpretation and representation. The symbolic power preserves memories, determines a common origin and crystallizes the holistic worldview in the social order. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Politics and religion have always been closely connected, as both depend on the manner in which man sees himself and the world around him. But one of the main features of democracy, the political system more widely accepted in the world today, is its secularization. Democracy no longer allows thrones, and religion has been reduced to one of the many possibilities individuals have when choosing how they want to live their lives. But every political system implies a different religion and vice versa. Democracy is not, in fact, the time of the end of religion, but a total reconfiguration of religious experience that could become considered the most authentic of all. This paper investigates the interdependence between politics and religion from the worldview that man has of himself in the context of democracy assuming the challenge posed to religious freedom from the political horizon as the task of the path of peace.

When having a look at the written and artistic productions created by women from antiquity to the 20th century, one find out that humor is almost invisible. This invisibility is obvious too in the testimonies on the European social life and rituals throughout the centuries that have been preserved up to the present times. The explanations are based on a complex network of factors ranging from the religion and the politics up to the social norms and the cultural trends. The purpose of this paper is to summary analyze these factors that contributed to the image of an unhumorous "second sex" and to revise the main theories on humor from a feminine outlook.

Using data from the SAHWA Youth Survey 2016 (2017), this paper presents a study of the degree and types of political and religious participation - as well as the links that connect one to the other - among the youth of five Arab Mediterranean countries (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt and Lebanon). In politics, four types of participation are distinguished: official, everyday, community and protest. Between 5% and 17% of those surveyed could be considered hyperactivists, in that they participate in three or four of these types; in around a third, there was no participation at all. On the other hand, the majority of the young people considered themselves to be highly religious and, in three of the countries, a third attended the mosque at least three times a week. But the levels of religiosity did not influence political participation, as even the majority of the highly religious supported separating politics from religion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The establishment of the Brazilian republic triggered political agents within the religious sphere to analyze the 1891 Constitution. The Protestant political insertion increased and one may trace the catalyzing elements of its political activities, even though most segments kept aloof from politics. They merely manifested themselves when religious issues on religious freedom were involved. The 1950 political context brought to the fore new concerns on the religious polarization. Foregrounded on the conflict theory of Lewis Coser, current paper discusses the construction of these two subjects that heralded the social and religious projects of the republican period.

Social Sciences have often claimed the end of religiosity as an explanatory factor of electoral behaviour in Europe. Nevertheless, left and right parties still insert religious and moral issues in the agenda in order to distance themselves from their opponents. This paper shows a comparative study of 34 European democracies examining the extent to which religious voting has diminished since the eighties. Results point to a sharp decline in the levels of religious vote until the nineties, with a revitalization since then in some of the countries of the sample. The analysis also highlights the important role played by the political elite on the activation of religious vote. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
