Testimony and music as vehicles for the construction of identity and the displacement of power

Abstract

In the Philippines, more and more people are leaving Catholicism to convert to a Born Again denomination. This denomination implies a reconfiguration of intramundane and extramundane identity as a result of the new birth. As a doctoral student in Education Sciences, I am conducting ethnographic research in a neighborhood Born Again church. Using participant observation and biographical interviews, I'm seeking to understand what kinds of transformations conversion is likely to bring about. By analyzing religious discourse and two practices (witnessing and enthusiasm), I propose to answer the following questions: How is identity constructed, shaped, and maintained by religious activities How do religions change the identities of their converts? Using specific, documented examples, I will show the changes in identity and narrative that testimonies can bring about.
