Analyzing data gathered at contemporary spiritual practices held in Carnac, a megalithic site located in northwest France, this article argues that the resignification of ancient places as ‘sacred’ and ‘energetic’ is a strategy to develop and enact inner search and work on the self. Collected data provides understanding on the actor’s conceptualizations and uses given to this place, while also suggesting further inquiries to assess the relations between spirituality, personal transformation and the enchantment of archaeological sites. 2021 artículo científico 1518-4463 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=717975898009 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7179/717975898009/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7179/717975898009/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7179/717975898009/717975898009.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7179/717975898009/movil https://doi.org/10.20396/csr.v23i00.14912 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7179 Ciencias Sociales y Religión application/pdf Universidade Estadual de Campinas Ciencias Sociales y Religión (Brasil) Vol.23 |
