Introduction

Abstract

This introduction suggests capturing contemporary Pentecostalism in terms of territorial, discursive, cultural and affective framings, such as Lusophony. It gives a short overview on the understandings of the idea of Lusophony and Lusophone framings present in public discourses, social imaginations and in academic approaches. As the result it offers an alternative way of looking at national, transnational and global approaches to Christianity and Pentecostalism in particular.
