Opis

In Catholicism, 'Marian apparitions' such as those at Lourdes belong to the most spectacular cases of religious mass phenomenon. A prominent case occurred in 1983 in Penablanca, Chile. During the first difficult crisis year of the Pinochet dictatorship, a seventeen-year-old youth reported an apparition near Valparaiso. Through dedicated supporters, pilgrimages and press reports, it soon developed into both a mass phenomenon and a media phenomenon. The case became particularly controversial following accusations that the military government had become involved in the events with manipulative intensions.

Recenzje

"Somt leistet G. Pionierarbeit, indem er die umfangreiche zeitgenössische Berichterstattung auswertet, systematisiert und sie durch Interviews, Archivforschung sowie Schriften aus dem Penablanca-Umfeld komplementiert. In der genauen Beschreibung der Ereignisse und in der kritischen Systematisierung der Informationen liegt das Verdienst der Studie."
