Abstract
BLANES, Ruy Llera and SARRO, Ramon. Generation, presence and memory: the Tokoist Church in Angola. Etnográfica [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.1, pp.169-187. ISSN 0873-6561.
This article discusses, from the case study of the Tokoist Church, the dialectic between processes of “presence” and “absence” in prophetic movements in Angola and the Angolan diaspora. It revisits classic Weberian theses on charisma and routinization of leadership, in order to explain, through the dialectics of presence/absence and generation/memory, the transformations experienced in this church in post-war Angola.
Keywords : prophetism; Angola; Tokoism; memory; generation; presence.
