About
Coinciding approximately with the publication of the collective book Religião e Masculinidades. Modelos, práticas e transgressões [Religion and Masculinities. Models, Practices and Transgressions] (co-organised by João Luís Fontes and Maria Filomena Andrade), the third volume of a series which began in 2015, this session will give an account of a research path that mobilised more than twenty researchers around the themes of gender, religion, masculinity and femininity. From a personal perspective of this collective initiative, I will present some initial questions, as well as the successive shifts of problematization and the conceptual innovations generated by the research and the debates within this project. Next, I will present some proposals for a trans-epochal reading, mobilizing together the history of permanences and discontinuities and anthropological interpretations, trying to scrutinize the possible impact of this set of investigations for the understanding of gender dynamics through the prism of the practices of spirituality.
