Lo sagrado y el milagro del lenguajeLo sagrado y el milagro del lenguaje

This book analyzes a contemporary Marian apparition in Brazil through a Barthesian semiotic framework. Drawing on long-term ethnographic research, it examines religious discourse, symbolism, and community formation, emphasizing language as a miraculous and transformative force within popular Catholicism. The study explores how sacred narratives generate social cohesion, reinterpret tradition, and articulate alternative forms of sociability.
