Resumen
LEVITA, Gabriel. Social structure and religious pluralization: an analysis of the socioeconomic level of Pentecostals. Soc. relig. [online]. 2010, vol.20, n.32-33, pp.140-156. ISSN 1853-7081.
This work looks for investigating on the links between religion and social structure from the information offered by the First Survey on Religious Beliefs and Attitudes in Argentina made by the CEIL - PIETTE CONICET, the ANPCyT and national universities. This survey gives a statistical support to the hypothesis on the minor socioeconomic level of Pentecostals. Our work aims to make a conceptual analysis of the statistical material and then to reread some of the most spread lines of research on the transformations of the religious thing and on the Pentecostalism to raise new theoretical and epistemological questions. Thus, works based on the paradigm of modernization and on the establishment of linear correlations between religion and position in the social structure prove to be heuristically weak opposite to perspectives that favor the study of affinities in a context that combines at the same time religious pluralization and social fragmentation.
