DESCRIPTION:Poster\nThis presentation focuses on the emergence of Brazil a
 s a key node in  a new poly-centric global cartography of the sacred that 
 is challenging  traditional understandings of the public place of religion
  in late  modernity.  Brazil has now become a major pole of religious inn
 ovation  and production\, exporting globally not only dynamic indigenized 
 forms of  Pentecostalism and Charismatic Catholicism\, but also African-ba
 sed  religions such as Candomblé and Umbanda\, as well as diverse express
 ions  of New Age Spiritism and Ayahuasca-centered neo-shamanism like Vale 
 do Amanhecer and Santo Daime.    I will discuss the multi-scalar actors\
 , networks\, flows\, media\, and  strategies that have made possible the r
 ise of Brazil as a “potência religiosa mundial”  [religious world pow
 er]\, in the words of sociologist José Casanova\,  drawing theoretical an
 d methodological implications for the study of  religion in motion.
