| Résumé: | In this article we want to scrutiny the role of shrines of popular devotion and their most obvious creation, religious tourism, in the face of national identity. We affirm here that the place of religion as a force of identity creation is visible and almost self-evident in the modern phenomenon of migration. However, the same evidence does not apply when we focus on the phenomenon of tourism and especially on religious tourism that takes place around national shrines. We also discusse the difficulty that religion finds in creating a cultural substratum on which to build identity Brazilian The National Shrine of Aparecida, the most emblematic Brazilian shrine, can not produce a hegemonic narrative in which Brazilians can recognize themselves as such. |
