Masterfully combining late modern theory with multi-site ethnographies of the New Age, it explains how traditional religion is being transformed by processes of reflexivity, globalization and individualism. The book unveils how the New Age has entered Brazil, was adapted to local Catholic, Spiritist and psychology cultures, and more recently how the Brazilian Nova Era re-enters transnational circuits of spiritual practice. It closely examines Paulo Coelho (spiritualist novels), Projectiology (astral projection) and Santo Daime (neo-shamanism) to understand the broader ?new agerization? of Christianity and Spiritualism. Reflexive Religion offers a compelling account of how the religious field is being updated under late modern conditions. 410 0$aReligion in the Americas$v19. 606 $aNew Age movement$zBrazil 606 $aSpiritual life$xNew Age movement 607 $aBrazil$xReligion 615 0$aNew Age movement 615 0$aSpiritual life$xNew Age movement. 676 $a299.930981 700 $aD'Andrea$b Anthony$01528894 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793280103321 996 $aReflexive religion$93772799 997 $aUNINA
