Resumen

Desde 1998, con el establecimiento de templos y celebraciones de sus procesiones, la comunidad sij intenta reproducir lugares y rituales religiosos apropiándose de espacios urbanos en el Área Metropolitana de Barcelona (AMB). Esta apropiación es generalmente ignorada por los nativos, pero a veces crea conflictos en la comunidad con respecto al uso de los espacios públicos. En este artículo, basado en la investigación etnográfica, una encuesta a la comunidad sij y 34 entrevistas en profundidad en la AMB, se analiza el proceso de apropiación de los espacios urbanos para el establecimiento de los lugares religiosos, la celebración de las procesiones por la comunidad sij en la AMB, y la actitud de la administración local y la sociedad de acogida con respecto a esta apropiación. En conclusión, con los templos y las procesiones en los espacios públicos urbanos, la comunidad sij manifiesta el regreso de la religión en la esfera pública
