| Summary: | This article offers a discussion regarding the symbolic mediation of sacred power, investigating two intertwined dimensions: the production of charisma and aesthetic configurations. From an anthropological narrative, two highly heterogeneous Christian scenarios of contemporary Argentine religious diversity are comparatively problematised: the cult of the relics of the Catholic saint Father Brochero in the province of Córdoba and the ceremonial dances in the indigenous evangelical churches of the Gran Chaco. Three focal points of comparison define the structure of the article: the numinous power granted by relics and dances; the communal ties that articulate both religious phenomena in their particular socio-cultural and historical contexts; and the aesthetic configurations of the reliquary of the saint and the clothing used in indigenous evangelical dances. By approaching the symbolic issue of sacred power in the indicated direction, the work theoretically highlights the strong imbrication of the two dimensions discussed, proposing in the final discussion the notion of "charismatic aesthetics". Finally and with respect to this notion, a discussion is made of the dialectic between "floating charisma"/"waning charisma" and between "incarnation"/"encasing" of the sacred. |
