Abstract

[This chapter offers an overview of some of the dominant currents within the study of religious mobility. I begin by focusing on the notion of religious conversion and point at its limitations, such as exclusivity and assumption of an underlying spiritual transformation. I discuss how the term has been used by scholars since the turn of the twentieth century and consider the emergence of more nuanced perspectives such as the “conversion career” approach. I then turn to discuss the challenge of accounting for multiple, synchronic practices, and the myriad scholarly conceptions that emerged therefrom, such as Edio Soares’ notion of “religious butinage.” I then turn to discuss the “lived religion” approach, which has served as a source of inspiration in developing the perspective taken in the work and in particular the “religious repertoire” model.]
