Resumo
Nas últimas décadas, as tecnologias de informação e comunicação têm vindo a transformar profundamente a nossa vida, incluindo a espiritualidade. Esta dissertação examina como estas tecnologias têm possibilitado novas formas de interação e práticas espirituais. Através da mediação tecnológica, práticas, rituais religiosas e meditações têm sido adaptadas para os ambientes virtuais, permitindo assim a participação das pessoas sem a necessidade da sua presença física.Autores como Hermínio Martins e Maria Teresa Cruz discutem a influência da espacialização e da mediação tecnológica na perceção e cognição humana. As plataformas digitais facilitam a criação de comunidades espirituais globais porque permitem que práticas espirituais transponham as fronteiras geográficas, criando assim experiências simultaneamente locais e globais. Esta dissertação explora a noção de "ontologia dos possíveis" de Maria Teresa Cruz, onde a realidade é continuamente moldada pela tecnologia. As tecnologias digitais criam múltiplas realidades simultâneas que refletem diferentes necessidades humanas, desde o entretenimento até à espiritualidade. Ao investigar estas novas formas de espiritualidade no mundo virtual, esta dissertação pretende entender as suas implicações e o seu potencial para transformar a experiência espiritual contemporânea, tentando ao mesmo tempo compreender as novas formas de espiritualidade no mundo virtual.
