DESCRIPTION:Ignacio Serrano del Pozo talks about his project with the titl
 e "Re-Understanding the "Culture of Abuse" from the Idea of 'Atmospheric A
 uthority': The Kentenich Case."\n\nThe purpose of this research is to anal
 yse the phenomenon of spiritual abuse within religious communities from 
 the approach provided by "atmospherology" of authors such as Hermann Schmi
 tz\, Tonino Griffero and Martin Radermacher. Until now\, religious abuse h
 as been understood --in general-- using the same conceptual tools as those
  applied to sexual abuse\, that is\, as a form of domination and transgres
 sion by an aggressor against his victim. It seems to us that such an under
 standing does not do justice to the domination exercised by a religious at
 mosphere\, which power is neither personal nor episodic\, but much more di
 ffuse and invasive. On the contrary\, if one tries to understand the "spir
 itual forces field" produced\, for example\, by the feeling of fascination
  with a charismatic personality\, the effervescence of shared rituals and 
 practices\, a messianic narrative\, or a sense of guilt consciousness\, it
  may be much more clarifying and operational to do so from the idea of "au
 thority of the atmosphere"\, rather than in a dualistic way restricted onl
 y to the action of a manipulative personality over that of a manipulated o
 ne.
