Monjas, asesinatos y apariciones. Rumor y alteridad religiosa en el contexto de las experiencias formativas de los niños y niñas de un barrio Toba/QOM de Buenos Aires.

Abstract

The children of a Toba/Qom urban setting near Buenos Aires told each-other a rumor: before their families arrived to the land, many babies were buried there by the "monjitas" (little nuns) and up until this days, one can still hear them crying. The nuns lived in the Catholic school where the children study. The aim of this article is to analyze this rumor in two interconnected ways. First, I will consider this appearances regarding several children's formative experiences in the Evangelio. Second, I will focus on the tensions between the Catholic school and the Toba neighborhood, and on the "otherness" constructed by this rumor.
