OSES, José Juan. "Multiple" Religious Authorities and Legitimation Strategies within a Popular Context in Mexico City. Alteridades [online]. 2015, vol.25, n.49, pp.69-80. ISSN 2448-850X.

In an environment in which agents whose magic-religious services sign up in different cults and traditions, how is authority elaborated and defined? Sociological paradigms trying to explain contemporary religious dynamics in terms of market transactions shall be reviewed. Based in ethnographic observation and in-depth interviews, this contribution meets the challenge by giving priority to the observation of a local magic-religious offer in Mexico City.
