Religiones y creencias contrahegemónicas de Bogotá

Abstract

This work is registered in the Creation and Interpretation degree modality according to agreement 038 of the Francisco José de Caldas District University and belongs to the Journalism and New Local and Community Reality research line. A great variety of religions and beliefs are part of a city as multicultural as Bogotá, which is configured as an epicenter of exchanges and a propitiator of a great influx of knowledge and customs. Being a city inhabited by more than 7.9 million people, it is not surprising that there is a great diversity of theological convictions that come from outside and inside the country. However, due to the historical impact that religion had on social behavior, Catholicism consolidated itself as a historically hegemonic doctrine, which from its power has made invisible and demonized different or opposed practices and beliefs, causing them to remain on the sidelines. of public opinion and hidden under the configuration of elements typical of the counterculture, under these conditions it is not possible to contemplate a correct interreligious dialogue in search of the common good. For this reason, the following proposal is made, consisting of a documentary series in which the aspects related to the history and functioning of the Catholicism, Yoruba, Islam and Wicca religions in the city of Bogotá will be presented in 6 chapters, as well as to imply the present and the historicity of social thought in relation to religious counterculture.
