GLOBALIZATION AND IDENTITY – COMPLEMENTARITY IN THE DYNAMICS OF RELIGIOUS CULTURES' INTERACTION

Summary/Abstract: Globalization and identity are two interrelated concepts that profoundly influence the dynamics of the interrelationship of religious cultures in contemporary times. Globalization facilitates rapid and extensive interaction between diverse cultures and religious traditions, resulting in an increased circulation of religious ideas, practices and values on a global scale. This expansion of cultural interconnections can lead both to homogenization, through the standardization of norms and customs, and to heterogenization, through the fostering of identity diversity and religious syncretism. The complementarity between globalization and identity is evidenced in the way religious communities navigate between maintaining authenticity and adapting to global environments. This dynamic interaction generates new forms of religious expression and the cultivation of intercultural dialogue. Thus, the study of the relationship between globalization and identity is essential for understanding how religious cultures cohabit, transform and enrich in an increasingly interconnected world.
