    This dossier aims to comparatively examine the social production of continuities and discontinuities between the religious and the economic in contemporary times from an anthropological and ethnographic perspective. How do different religious traditions conceive of, intertwine with or isolate themselves from the capitalist market economy in terms of their own moral economies, sensibilities, agencies and temporalities? Related topics include ritual transactions; ethics, spirituality and work; economic-religious temporalities; conflicts and reconciliations between economic-religious prescriptions - and other phenomena that reveal the economy as a field of ethical and ontological problematization in a period of modernity called "post-secular" by a growing number of authors.

    The cycle of protests from 2010 to 2013, which sparked a wave of massive demonstrations in different regions of the world, drew attention to a modification in traditional collective action. Unlike other historical moments, these demonstrations no longer depended on the direct mediation of classical political organizations such as political parties, unions, or even social movement organizations. On the contrary, there was a popular refusal of these organizations in the pursuit of new organizational models for political action, encompassing new values and worldviews for collective actions.
