SOLIS NICOT, Yves Bernardo Roger. Hagiographies in the Web Era. Hist. graf [online]. 2020, n.54, pp.193-230.  Epub May 30, 2020. ISSN 1405-0927.  https://doi.org/10.48102/hyg.vi54.282.

This article aims to present new forms of popular and institutional religiosity in the Web 2.0 in the age of YouTube and Facebook. This recent phenomena deserves to receive a renewed methodological and theoretical approach. Since the induction and development of Internet in Latin America and México, new cases of promotion of saints and sanctuaries have appeared. In the first part this article will be a series of thoughts about faith and saint promotion in the Web 2.0. Then we will promote a comparative analysis of digital adhesion that some saints receive in the material and digital world, such as the cases of Yves, a medieval Saint, and Teresa de Calcutta, a contemporary Saint.

Keywords : Hagiography; Web 2.0; Digital Social Networks; Digital Narratives; Digital Hagiography.
