Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Excelente. Procede de expurgo de una biblioteca (tiene sellos, etc.); por lo demás, está en excelentes condiciones. La religión popular china es algo más que el sincretismo del daoísmo, budismo y confuncionismo con creencias ancestrales como el culto a los antepasados. Esta perspectiva tradicional sobre la religiosidad china enfatiza los aspectos de la ortodoxia manifestados en la metáfora imperial, es decir, el mundo de los dioses sería una reproducción del mundo de los seres humanos, con su jerarquía social donde el emperador y sus funcionarios ocupan la posición superior, y donde el orden, la armonía, la virtud y la reciprocidad reinan sobre todas las cosas. Frente a esta idílica proyección, este libro nos aporta otra visión de la misma realidad, en la que la religión popular se transforma en una fuente de heterodoxia, en tensión constante con los cultos oficiales, donde el aspecto militar y la jerarquía de mando es fundamental; la armonía debe restaurarse cíclicamente mediante una serie de ritos de exorcismo donde demonios y dioses se confunden. El ciclo festivo de un pequeño pueblo de Taiwan sirve de guía para abordar los aspectos de la religión popular china menos conocidos: las procesiones de los cultos territoriales, el año nuevo y la fiesta de los faroles, los cotidianos ritos de adivinación para acabar con la incertidumbre, y los ritos extraordinarios de exorcismo. Desde el recurso a la geomancia para la construcción de una casa hasta las celebraciones de las asociaciones de paisanos en torno a un brasero de incienso y los banquetes festivos, nada pasa desapercibido al autor. Especialmente interesante es su análisis del dinero quemado en honor a los espíritus. Pero además, los cultos populares también son un modo de organización social y territorial, donde intervienen relaciones económicas y políticas. No nos encontramos ante un manual, sino ante un profundo ensayo de antropología religiosa que se ha convertido en una obra clásica. Su lectura atenta deparará sorpresas a todos y su gran valor consiste en la desmitificación de la religión china reducida al daoísmo y el budismo. Actualmente está resurgiendo la actividad religiosa en China Popular que aqu&iacut.
