MANSILLA, Miguel Ángel; LEIVA GOMEZ, Sandra  y  PINONES RIVERA, Carlos. Border and Center Pentecostalism. Symbolic frontierization processes in the Chilean-Bolivian highland pentecostalism 1973-2007. Estud. atacam. [online]. 2020, n.64, pp.297-318. ISSN 0718-1043.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22199/issn.0718-1043-2020-0015.

The article proposes a reading of the border as a social and cultural construction through the concept of symbolic frontierization. It analyzes the representations and symbolic practices that Pentecostalism constructs on the border, showing the processes that take place between center and border Pentecostalism and specifying what we call an “altiplanization of Pentecostalism”. The methodology consists of the systematic review of the “Fuego de Pentecostés” magazine between 1973 and 2007, seeking to analyze such processes in the Chile-Bolivia border. It concludes by synthesizing the main features of this symbolic frontierization and emphasizing the need to deepen the studies on these processes from the methodologies based on the observation of the contemporary contexts.

Palabras clave : pentecostalism; frontier; border; altiplano; Chile; Bolivia.
