          Abstract

          El artículo analiza la geografía de la práctica religiosa en una colonia popular en la ciudad de México, a propósito de la elaboración de un disco interactivo. La pregunta guía es cuál es la relación de los creyentes con el espacio en un barrio caracterizado por el dinamismo religioso, preponderancia de la religiosidad popular e intensa urbanización. Luego de la realización de decenas de entrevistas y un proceso sostenido de observación de campo durante cuatro años, se explican cinco formas de la territorialización religiosa: el anclaje oficial católico, los templos protestantes y pentecostales, las expresiones de la religiosidad popular, los circuitos de apropiación del territorio y los lugares íntimos de lo sagrado. Se concluye que en la colonia se puede observar un proceso de resignificación de los espacios mediante una nueva geometría sacra que implica la directa participación de comunidades de creyentes que inventan territorios y formas religiosas que respondan a sus necesidades de fe.

          Translated abstract

          This paper, analyzes the geography of religious practice in a working-class neighborhood in Mexico City. It aims to answer the research question: what is the relationship between believers and space in a neighborhood characterized by religious dynamism, dominance of popular religiosity and intense urbanization. Dozens of interviews and a robust process of field work over four years, provide data to explain five forms of religious territorialization: the embedded official Catholicism, Protestant and Pentecostal temples, expressions of popular religiosity, and appropriation of territory and sacred intimate places. This study concludes that in this neighborhood, a process of re-signification of spaces can be observed through a new sacred geometry that implies the direct participation of believers communities, who invent territories and religious forms that respond to their needs of faith. This paper is also part of the development of an interactive CD.
