Socité civile en question : pentecôtisme et démocratie

Abstract

[eng] André CORTEN — Pentecostalism and democracy : Civil society revisited Civil society is usually granted the role of furthering democracy and of translating the private sphere into the public sphere. The remarkable growth of pentecostalism can be explained by the failure of such translating role in Latin America and Africa. This failure thus points to the shortcomings of the concept of society. Pentecostalism does perform translation, but within imaginaries. For the analysis of démocratisation processes, the study of pentecostalism's translation imaginaries provides us with categories that differ from those associated with concept of civil society.
