description In this paper we propose to address the way in which the use of virtual platforms shapes a spiritual movement known as "Llave Mariana" and its social life. We take into account its forms of dissemination, interaction and practices in the online world and the way in which these features dialogue with its cosmological and ritual elements. This spiritual movement can be considered as a part of Argentina’s New Age and has the peculiarity of mixing typically New Age elements –taken from Orientalist traditions, such as the language linked to chakras and energy– with Catholic figures, especially Virgin Mary. However, the group develops explicitly outside any institutional or territorial Catholic structure. As for the methodology, a combined approach complementing virtual ethnography techniques with traditional fieldwork resources were aplied, mainly participant observation in the field and semi-structured interviews. The conclusions in this article aim to understand the virtual dimension within the spiritual realms as more than a mere "reflection" of reality but as a habitable space that modifies subject’s experiences and emotions as well as promotes new ways of community representation.

Se revisan sus formas de difusión, interacción y prácticas en el mundo en línea y la manera en las que estos aspectos dialogan con sus elementos cosmológicos y rituales. Este movimiento espiritual pertenece a la corriente de la Nueva Era en Argentina y posee la particularidad de combinar elementos de New Age (provenientes de las tradiciones orientalistas, como el lenguaje vinculado a los chakras y la energía), con figuras del panteón católico, especialmente la Virgen María. No obstante, el grupo se desarrolla explícitamente por fuera de la estructura institucional y territorial de la Iglesia Católica. En cuanto a la metodología, se utilizaron las técnicas de la etnografía virtual que se complementaron con recursos tradicionales del trabajo de campo etnográfico, especialmente la observación participante en el terreno y las entrevistas semiestructuradas. Las conclusiones de este artículo apuntan a comprender la dimensión virtual dentro de los ámbitos espirituales, no como un reflejo de lo real sino como un espacio habitable que introduce modificaciones en las experiencias y emociones de los sujetos, así como también vehiculiza nuevas formas de representación a partir de los miembros de una comunidad.Fil: Gracia, Agustina.
