Abstract

LARGO VARGAS, Joan Manuel. The Analysis of Relations Between Catholic Church and the State Toward Conceptual and Linguistic Study of Secularization in the 19th and 20th Centuries in Colombia: a Historiographic Review and a Proposal. Anu.hist.reg.front. [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.2, pp.25-50. ISSN 0122-2066.  https://doi.org/10.18273/revanu.v23n2-2018001.

When thinking about the need for new approaches in the history of the Catholic faith and religion, we wanted to start from a particular bibliography in order to build a novel proposal. When reviewing some bibliographic balances, the definition of some moments of recent rupture in the Colombian case, and an attempt of synthesis of some theoretical bibliography, added to a brief approach to the Latin American historiography, were crucial to gather the findings that provide the arguments for this article. It is proposed, then, that the observation of Church- State relations and the internal history of the ecclesiastical institution itself must be overcome in order to address the secularization problem, in a logic that allows for more global views. The contributions of the new political-intellectual history, which combine the efforts of diverse historiographical traditions, allow for a different contextual approach to the problem of the Catholic religious and its transformation during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Keywords : Church-State Relations; Catholic Church; Religion; Politic Languages; Secularization; Intellectual History.
