Abstract
En nuestra actual sociedad aconfesional y plural los grupos religiosos comprenden el acceso al espacio público como un derecho a la ciudad. Este derecho legitima su estatus como actores sociales, diversos y sujetos de pleno derecho en la vida pública y responde, en aras de su reconocimiento e inclusión, a otras demandas sociales vinculadas a la modernidad y la transparencia. Para examinar esta hipótesis, mediante el estudio de caso de la comunidad musulmana bangladesí de Lavapiés, se analizan las circunstancias en las que los grupos religiosos tratan de acceder al espacio público, así como las prácticas y los discursos que despliegan durante sus actos y festividades en la vía pública en aras de obtener la mayor legitimación y reconocimiento posibles.
In our current nondenominational and plural society, religious groups understand access to public space as a right to the city. This right legitimizes their status as social actors, viewed as diverse and full subjects of law in public life, and responds –in the pursuit of its recognition and inclusion– to various social demands linked to notions of modernity and transparency. To explore this hypothesis, this article examines the case of Bangladeshi Muslims in Madrid’s Lavapiés district. It analyzes the circumstances through which this community attempts to access the public space, and accounts for its different practices and discourses (displayed in specific events and festivities) in order to achieve further legitimization and recognition.
