- PRÄSENZDYNAMIK UND -DIMENSIONEN DER KULTSTÄTTE EINER MINDERHEIT. DER TAMILISCHE HINDUTEMPEL IN BASEL Cédric Duchêne-Lacroix Anne Beutter Antropología The Swiss religious landscape has diversified as a result of immigration and new religious movements. While political debate on religious visibility, e.g. the minaret controversy, obscures the complexity of religious space, this article analyses the place of worship of a relatively unknown group: the Hindutempel community in Basel. By adapting the notion of «presence» to a multi-dimensional space consisting of geographic, governmental, social, sacred and reticular facets, and by drawing on de Certeau, the analysis better grasps the dynamics between the dimensions out of which the Hindutempel emerges. Tracing how the network has gradually institutionalised, we show how a multidimensional and visible «proper» is eventually gained: through geographic repositioning and religious investment in chosen places of worship despite the lack of resources that leads worshippers to get by with little. Using de Certeau's terms, the temple appears as a palimpsest of several spatial dimensions of presence. 2011 artículo científico 2813-5237 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=664773286013 de http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6647 Swiss Journal of Sociocultural Anthropology application/pdf Universität Bern Swiss Journal of Sociocultural Anthropology (Suiza) Vol.16
