Pelos Blogs-Tapetinhos: imaginários Yogins em tessituras eletrônicas do religioso

Abstract

This study dialogues with the multi-referential and post-modern cultural scenario, imperative of choices and of the visibility of these. In its repercussion within the religious, a non accommodation of the religious inheritances is ongoing, which promotes a reflexive pursuit of meaning, engendering trajectories of experimentation whose affiliations seem to only make sense if by conviction. This subjective religious mobility is in the in-between-numbers. The purpose of this text is to dialogue with a small group of bloggers: yogins, to hear from them, also, about the shifts in course, now that the internet can be understood as a field in development of the study of the religious, as long as the ambience can be understood as an integrated part into the everyday contemporary experience. The study gives priority to the narratives and the semantics of the field, exploring the imaginary which is dealt there. Moreover, blogs, as mat-blogs, suggest other scenarios for practicing yogin, since the tradition of Yoga is comprised of plastic form in time and, therefore, in permanent recovery from the idiosyncrasies of each practitioner. What is there performed, maybe weaves a kind of religious nomos, a bias of analysis due to Peter Berger (1985), suggesting a textual mat to meditate the pathway and put it in dialogue with the blog reader. This dossal blog can compose a network of affinities that build landmarks of location from Yoga, to dwell there and talk to a pluralistic religious universe that invites experimentation. In this movement, the religious self-identification takes only a trend limit, since it suggests being in an electronic yogin covenant, another bias of analysis, now from Philippe Lejeune (2008), because what makes sense for one has to be confirmed, or endorsed by any means by another one, and for this conversation to happen, there are proper protocols and seals to covenant.
