Abstract(s)
Assumindo que a religião tem uma forte componente geográfica, o presente
texto procura acrescentar ao debate contemporâneo da geografia, o interesse
pelo estudo das comunidades religiosas e dos lugares sagrados, elementos
importantes para o conhecimento a perceção do território, nas suas múltiplas
dimensões e escalas. O estudo desenvolvido procurou responder a dois objetivos
fundamentais. Primeiro, descrever de forma sucinta a evolução das identidades
religiosas no contexto português e do concelho de Coimbra (percentagem de
população integrada nos diferentes grupos religiosos), incluindo a abordagem
de alguns fatores que são motores de mudança. Segundo, analisar diferentes
tipologias de comunidade católicas, definidas a partir das características
sociodemográficas da população, mas também dos respetivos percursos de
vida e dos percursos religiosos. Estas distintas comunidades dão origem a
diferentes territorialidades, diferentes redes de lugares sagrados de pertença
ao nível local, nacional e internacional.
