Abstract

Ovaj se rad bavi pučkom religioznošću u kontekstu društvenih promjena koje donosi (post)modernitet. Teorijski se razmatraju glavni smjerovi u suvremenoj sociologiji religije te njihov potencijal u objašnjavanju specifične religijske situacije u obje od zemalja u fokusu ovog rada. Iznosi se pregled društveno-povijesnog konteksta religijske slike Hrvatske i Portugala, te religijskih trendova u obje zemlje na temelju empirijskih istraživanja, kao i njihova komparacija. Razmatra se važnost pučke religioznosti u vremenu (post)moderniteta, kada institucionalna religioznost postupno gubi svoj značaj, te sve više do izražaja dolaze individualizirani oblici religioznosti, prilagođeni potrebama pojedinaca, koji ne prate strog sustav pravila i propisane prakse. Također, kao ilustraciju uloge pučke religije u konstrukciji kolektivnog identiteta, proučavaju se dvije religijske svečanosti u dvije otočke zajednice – procesija Za Križen na otoku Hvaru te svečanost Krista od Čudesa na otoku São Miguel u azorskom arhipelagu. Izdvojeni su elementi koji pokazuju širi društveni značaj ovih procesija od samog zadovoljenja vjerskih potreba stanovništva, poput održavanja tradicije i društvene kohezije te povezanosti pojedinaca sa zajednicom i vlastitim regionalnim identitetom, što objašnjava neprekinutu tradiciju održavanja kroz stoljeća te popularnost unatoč trendovima opadanja religijske prakse u obje zemlje.

Abstract (english)

This paper deals with folk religiosity in the context of social change that (post)modernity brings. The main directions in contemporary sociology of religion are theoretically considered, as well as their potential in the explanation of the specific religious situations in both countries in the focus of this paper. The paper brings an overview of the socio-historical context of the religious image of Croatia and Portugal, religious trends in both countries based on empirical research, and their comparisons. We discuss the importance of popular religiosity in (post)modernity, when institutional religiosity gradually loses its significance, and individualized forms of religiosity adapted to the needs of individuals, that don’t follow a strict system of rules and prescribed practice, increasingly gain importance. Also, as an illustration of the role of folk religion in the creation of collective identity, two religious ceremonies in two island communities are studied - the procession Za Križen on the island of Hvar and the celebration of Lord Holy Christ of the Miracles on the São Miguel island in the Azores archipelago. Elements that show the wider social significance of these processions than satisfying the religious needs of the population are outlined, such as maintaining tradition and social cohesion, and linking individuals to the community and their own regional identity, which explains the uninterrupted tradition of these processions over the centuries, and popularity despite the trends of declining religious practices in both countries.
