In diverse ways, these groups use Guadalupe's symbol and narrative to make claims about justice in society's basic structures (law, policy, institutions, for example) while seeking to generate greater participation and representation in US democracy. Yet, Guadalupe is illegible within a liberal political framework that seeks to protect society's basic structures from religious encroachment by relegating religious speech, practices, and symbols to the realm of the background culture. In response to this problem, religious ethicists have argued for expansions of the liberal framework that would make religious language, arguments, and practices communities legible within a pluralistic society without capitulating to anti-democratic modes of governance that undermine pluralism. What remains unexplored is the way that the aesthetic dimensions of particular religious traditions can be engaged toward cultivating a more participatory democracy that invites substantive contributions to society's common life from religious people and communities. Instead, in conversation with political liberalism, Latinx theological aesthetics, and Catholic social thought, The Aesthetics of Solidarity examines the use of particular religious symbols to make democratic claims and generate greater participation and presence in the life of US democracy. After evaluating liberalism's capacity for constructive engagement with religion toward strengthening democratic participation, the project employs Latinx theological aesthetics and Catholic social thought to offer a constructive framework for interpreting religious symbols in the context of a religiously pluralistic and participatory democratic life"--Provided by publisher.Moral TraditionsOur Lady of Guadalupe and American DemocracyPolitical theologyUnited StateChristian sociologyCatholic churchGuadalupe, Our Lady ofSolidarityReligious aspectsSolidarityPolitical aspectsUnited StatesHispanic AmericansPolitics and governmentHispanic AmericansReligionReligion and politicsUnited StatesThéologie politique(CaQQLa)201-0036834États-Unis(CaQQLa)201-0407727Doctrine sociale de l'Église(CaQQLa)201-0023716Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe(CaQQLa)201-0132135Américains d'origine latino-américaineReligion(CaQQLa)201-0151611Religion et politique(CaQQLa)201-0029244États-Unis(CaQQLa)201-0407727SolidarityReligious aspectsfast(OCoLC)fst01125486SolidarityPolitical aspectsfast(OCoLC)fst01125485Religion and politicsfast(OCoLC)fst01093842Political theologyfast(OCoLC)fst01069899Hispanic AmericansReligionfast(OCoLC)fst00957592Hispanic AmericansPolitics and governmentfast(OCoLC)fst00957586Guadalupe, Our Lady offast(OCoLC)fst00948687Christian sociologyCatholic Churchfast(OCoLC)fst00859533United StatesfastPolitical theologyChristian sociologyCatholic church.Guadalupe, Our Lady ofSolidarityReligious aspects.SolidarityPolitical aspectsHispanic AmericansPolitics and government.Hispanic AmericansReligion.Religion and politicsThéologie politiqueDoctrine sociale de l'Église.Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe.Américains d'origine latino-américaineReligion.Religion et politiqueSolidarityReligious aspects.SolidarityPolitical aspects.Religion and politics.Political theology.Hispanic AmericansReligion.Hispanic AmericansPolitics and government.Guadalupe, Our Lady of.Christian sociologyCatholic Church.322.10973Flores Nichole M1582530Projectc Muse.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794551803321The Aesthetics of Solidarity3865001UNINA
