Moving between Religions in Brazil.

In this paper, I examine trajectories of religious change in the city Salvador, Northeast Region, Brazil. In doing so, I want to outline a set of alternative questions for the study of people's movement between religions on the basis of a discussion of space. I argue that a far more complex picture of the trajectories and of their relation to religious change emerges when space is made an object of explicit reflection. To develop this argument, I turn to two important contributions to the debate on space: Mol and Law's topological approach and Ingold's explorations on the links between life and the line. As I attempt to show, applying some of their ideas about spatiality to the study of religious trajectories opens new, promising lines of inquiry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
