En este artículo mostramos que la actividad de las misiones católicas y bautistas en la quebrada de Humahuaca, en la provincia argentina de Jujuy, ha dado lugar a la formación de una arena religiosa múltiple, en la cual las nuevas generaciones, jóvenes estudiantes y trabajadores, optan por participar de una u otra organización religiosa. En el contexto de las congregaciones, los estereotipos culturales que vinculan al mundo indígena y sus prácticas culturales al atraso, al descontrol y a la violencia familiar son cuestionados y renegociados.
This paper shows that in Quebrada de Humahuaca (Jujuy, Argentina), Catholic and Baptist Missions’ activities, gave place to a multiple religious background, in which new generations, students and workers, choose to take part in one of these religious organizations. In these congregations, cultural stereotypes linking indigenous world and their cultural practices to backwardness, lack of control and familiar violence, are questioned and negotiated.
