Abstract:
Over the last 30 years, religiosities old and new have developed within the Chinese world, ushering in manifold social transformations. Many of these religiosities can be linked to Chinese popular religion. Long associated with superstition, and therefore repressed, Chinese popular religion now expands in full public view. More specifically, since the 1980's, religious practice in China became gradually more tolerated. In this context, through the observation of interactions between places of worship, religious beliefs and practices, and main actors of these practices, my research is focused on the place and the role of religion in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province in Central coastal China. During two years, I followed city-dweller in their religious life, and tried to understand in which way they interact with the religious field, to have a better sense of contemporary Chinese urban religiosity. In this way, my thesis try to establish how we could consider the social role of religion in Hangzhounese daily life, and aims to gain a better understanding of the different forms that shape the religious revival, in urban context.
