Bricolages religieux ou transactions symboliques? Quelques éléments à partir de la recomposition des croyances relatives a l’après-mort dans un Occident déchristianisé

Jean-Pierre Hiernaux

English

In a context in which many subjects cannot be pinned down within classic religious frameworks, and subsequently engage in certain recompositions of meaning—can these be reduced to a set of connotations, unhappily rendered banal by the application of the label, "bricolage"? Is it not rather the case that we are faced with evidence of symbolic transactions of greater importance, and which rather exceed the limit of the narrow description "religious bricolage"?

French

Dans un contexte ou` nombre de sujets échappent aux encadrements religieux classiques, les recompositions de sens qu'ils engagent peuvent-elles se réduire à des connotations défavorablement banalisées du mot "bricolage"? Ne serions-nous pas plutôt devant des transactions symboliques aux convergences et implications plus profondes et qui débordent cette autre limite qu'annonce le composé restrictif "bricolages religieux";?
