Resumen:
In the mid-seventies, a succession of international events marked the
decline of a certain type of relation between religion and modernity,
which had been based on the strategies of adaptation that the former
held towards the latter (Kepel, 1995, Berger, 2001). Suddenly, religious
discourses that focused on opposition to modern values gained a
relevance that would have been unthinkable during a decade marked by a
faith in progress and the development of a secular utopia, such as was
the case with the sixties. Nevertheless, we must analyze what type of
relation these religiosities established towards modernity; whether we
are talking about an opposition to it, or whether this modernity added
legitimacy to the religious revival.
