In relation: cuir Liturgy as a Space for an Ethics of Recognition, Justice and Tenderness. Reflections from the Experience of the Comunidad Luterana del Peru

Abstract

The following article seeks to establish a theoretical link between the idea of liturgy cuir and the ethics of recognition proposed by Judith Butler. This theorist insists that in the face of the ethical violence experienced by abject bodies, an ethics of recognition is necessary to account for different processes that are not restricted to a particular dimension (Butler, 2005). This theoretical perspective is taken into account and it is proposed to think of an ethics for the liturgical experiences of Christian communities that orient their pastoral action affirming diversities. This is developed on the basis of recognition, justice and tenderness as forms of expression and bonding for the bodies that inhabit religious spaces. A humanistic approach is developed through an ethnographic perspective enriched with situated knowledge and a reflective perspective. The following article is an ethical-theoretical proposal that abstracts the experience of the writer to provide tools to understand the liturgical as a space of encounter  and relationship.
