- Definir la religión desde una perspectiva internacional: identidad y diferencia en las concepciones oficiales Peter Beyer Antropología religion individual faith orientalist projection official conception of religion institutionally differentiated social domain Within sociologyof religion, the debate in regards to the way in whichreligion should be defined has followed a quite consistentcourse. The thing such discussions have in commonhas been historically and internationally the possibilityof agreeing on one definition, which is able to cover allthose social phenomena that observers believe shouldbe considered as religion. Nevertheless, when using it ascategory of social observation, there is a risk of distortingreality, fact that leads towards the need of distinguishingreligion from individual faith as well as from orientalistprojection. This work attempts to conceive religionas an institutionally differentiated social domain in orderto clarify those social aspects, which define it assuch. By placing religion as an idea and a social structureof European modernity as well as a non-Europeanparallel appropriation, this paper examines the developmentof the official conception of religion within diversecountries or regions particularly considering the semanticand institutional aspects. Thus, through the analysisof five representative cases worldwide, this work offersa direct path to get to what actually counts as religion. 2006 artículo científico 0188-7017 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=74703202 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=747 Alteridades application/pdf Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Alteridades (México) Num.32 Vol.16
