Abstract: | A trans-local ethnographic approach between N’djili/Kinshasa and different locations abroad provides access to a trans-historical approach of social transformations initiated through the prism of the "Spirit of Pentecost", diffracting the space into a multitude of "places" of belonging. It also raises awareness of a dual challenge of deterritorialization - in terms of exiting localism and ethnicity - and reterritorialisation in terms of anchors, very localized but interconnected. From local spirituality to the Spirit of Pentecost and Spiritual Warfare against territorial spirits, the aim of this contribution is to show a process of trans-localization, fighting to cross the borders of territoriality and ethno-nationality. The Spirit of Pentecost appears to give a good opportunity trying to leave territory, ethnicity, and discriminations due to corporeality. |
