Configurações digitais da contrahegemonia espírita: uma cartografia dos coletivos progressistas e de esquerda no espiritismo brasileiro

Abstract

This article analyzes the emergence of the field of progressive and left-wing spiritualism in Brazil, motivated mainly by the recognition of conservative hegemony in the identity context of that religion, given the recent intensification of political polarization in the country. Taking into account the ways of organizing these counter-hegemonic groups, this text discusses the paths of progressists aspirations in spiritism and presents a cartography of 24 collectives mapped during the year 2020. So, this article develops a classification of collectives, understood or crossed by progressist spiritism, which are based on historical spiritist institutions, study groups, social mobilization, digital media, communication and articulation of other collectives.
