Abstract

In recent years, Chile has been the scene of important political, social, cultural and religious transformations, being the so-called “official” religiosity that has experienced the most significant decline in adherence to the doctrinal truths proposed by the magisterium of church. The research that follows intends to address the phenomenon of migration in postmodern Chile and its impact on the religious phenomenon, postulating that the eventual emergence of a "new religiosity" formulated from an intercultural dialogue, may mean a bridge to narrow the gaps existing between the so-called "popular" religiosity and the approaches to theological work, traditionally exposed, in a monocultural sense, and with the character of a meta-story.
