| 總結: | Semán’s book Vivir la fe thoroughly analyzes Argentinian popular sectors’ ways of believing after the democratic recovery. Through a review of the concept of syncretism, the author describes the main features of a religious experience that emphasizes the everyday nature of the miracle, while dialoguing with cultural matrices such as Peronism, psychologization and youth culture. The work also contributes substantive theses for the contemporary sociological field, such as the explanation of the Pentecostal rise at the expense of Catholicism, the limits of the partidization of religious identities, and the real effects of the theology of prosperity on believing subjectivities. The findings are supported by classic ethnographic work, combining in-depth interviews with participant observations.
