Rezar nos mesmos sítios, rezar em muitos sítios: casamentos, práticas terapêuticas, redes de solidariedade e valores em reconstrução

Abstract

On the bases of investigation about the strategies for survival and social reproduction of families in the perifery of Maputo (Mozambique) this article reflects on the relations which are processed between families and between members of the same family and the different religious congregations. After a brief description of the social context in analyses and the family stratigies studdied, there are raised the implications of adhesion of the social actors to the different cults in the inter and intra familiar relations. There is underlined a plurality of “religious” situations and the sincretic character of the religioius dimension and these elements are connected to the therapeutic practices which the different cults and those associates with them develop.
