ZANCA, José A. La fe de Prometeo: Crítica y secularización en el catolicismo argentino de los años cincuenta. Prismas [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.1, pp.95-114. ISSN 1852-0499.

This article intends to observe the transformations of the Catholic culture in Argentina after World War II. It uses literary, film and theater criticism as a source, to observe the process of internal secularization of the Catholic field. The process of secularization is understood as the differentiation of relevant areas and the decline of the regulatory power of the church hierarchy to establish guidelines of indisputable analysis. The article argues that the new Catholic novel as well as the postwar cinema proposed disruptive forms to approach religious themes. Originated in Europe, these mutations -materialized in different forms- catalyzed the formation of an alternative religious imagery in a new generation of Catholic intellectuals in Argentina.
