| dc.description | Introduction: Exploring the relationship between religious phenomena and gender dynamics in Latin American
countries sheds light on the societies’ cultural heritage and continuity, as well as on the means by which
traditional forms of social organization are maintained and transformed. This relationship challenges
long-standing institutions and drives the creation of new ones to either promote or resist changes.
The first part of this chapter will focus on one of the long-standing institutions in Latin
America: the Catholic Church. It will address how female Church leaders have been challenged
by understandings of gender roles within this institution that persist in the prohibition upon
ordaining women for pastoral leadership, in closing up leading roles for them, and in controlling
different aspects of their lives. The landscape of “women religious” (sisters/nuns), their ministries,
social impact, and female subjectivity construction within the framework of a patriarchal
institution, relates to broader gender dynamics in Latin American societies. Both transformative
and conservative forces amongst high-profile Catholic women will be addressed to illustrate
tensions in religious- and gender-identity construction in the largest countries of the region.
Latin American countries are undergoing a deep process of religious reconfiguration, where
religious pluralism is increasingly noticeable. The second part of the chapter will address changes
in religious reconfiguration and in gender dynamics, how they affect each other and impact both
religious identity construction and resistance. Modernity has changed Latin America in many
ways; however, the religious landscape remains vibrant. The ongoing interaction between modernity
and religion in Latin American does not result in the diminishment of religiosity, which
subsequently accounts for what some scholars define as an “enchanted modernity” (Morello,
Romero, Rabbia, & Da Costa, 2017). Theorizing the relationships between religious/spiritual
and cultural meaning systems and women’s agency allows for an understanding of women’s reasons
to keep on struggling for their own, their families’, and their communities’ well-being. | |
