Introduction to the spirit of the New age in Brazil -- Post-traditional religiosities : reflexivity and individualism transforming the religious field -- Sociological overview of the New Age -- The perfect self : neo-Enlightenment and Romanticism in new religious forms -- Ethnology of the New Age in Brazil : hybridism, individualism and reflexivity -- The New Age in Brazil : religious individualism between spiritism and psychological culture -- Psychological culture : management and liberation in Brazilian New Age -- The New Age Christianity of Paulo Coelho -- New Age spiritism : inner reform from "doctrine" to reflexivity -- The niche globalization of projectiology : cosmology and internationalization of a Brazilian parascience -- New Age in Latin America : from gregarious syncretism to reflexive individualism -- Final thoughts: the New Age as a religious pragmatic of late modernity.
Summary: The core of this book derives from a seminal dissertation research about the New Age movement in Brazil conducted back in the mid-1990s. The topical scholarship was relatively thin, reflecting the novelty of the phe-nomenon and a certain academic lag to engage with unestablished phenomena.--Provided by publisher.
