MANSILLA, Miguel Ángel. Inbetween nostalgia and the dream of equality: Critique and proposal to the foundationalist assumptions of the Pentecostal community in Lalive d'Epinay. Polis [online]. 2014, vol.13, n.37, pp.407-430. ISSN 0718-6568.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-65682014000100022.

This article examines three foundational sustentions that Lalive d'Epinay confers to the Pentecostal community: the ‘hacienda’ model, the shelter-church and the church of the poor. It emphasizes a critique to the ‘hacienda’ model that the author supports for spotlighting an idealized and benevolent model to a system based on race, class and contempt for its workers. We argue that rural nostalgia is the ideological foundation of Pentecostalism, where a feminization of the community, and not its patriarchalisation, is enhanced; and that conflict is the other foundation that defines the Pentecostal, and not the harmonic imaging proposed by the author. We conclude with a brief analysis about the community crisis of Chilean Pentecostalism.

Palabras clave : ‘hacienda’; shelter; community; Pentecostalism; women; nostalgia.
