description The article addresses the process of relocation of the sacred carried out by members of the Mouridiyya -Muslim Sufi confraternities- who arrived in Argentina from the last decade of the twentieth century, as part of the Senegalese transnational migration. It presents results of an ethnographic study located in the Litoral region, specifically in the cities of Santa Fe, Rafaela and Paraná. It analyzes and describes the mechanisms implemented by migrants to produce a new territory of reinterpretation of the principles that symbolize the core of the confraternities, focusing on the way in which Senegalese recreate the notion of community, also linked to work, tradition and religious rituals. Starting from the observation of the absence of mosques and institutionalized religious spaces and the importance given to religious practice among the mourides of the region, the question that guides this work is how the relocation and production of a new sacred territory in the local space is configured.

El artículo aborda el proceso de relocalización de lo sagrado llevado a cabo por integrantes de la Mouridiyya -cofradía sufí musulmana- que llegaron a Argentina a partir de la última década del siglo XX, como parte de la migración transnacional senegalesa. Presenta resultados de un estudio etnográfico situado en la región litoral, específicamente en las ciudades de Santa Fe, Rafaela y Paraná. Analiza y describe los mecanismos implementados por los migrantes para producir un nuevo territorio de reinterpretación de los principios que simbolizan el núcleo de la cofradía, centrándose en el modo en el que los senegaleses recrean la noción de comunidad, vinculada también al trabajo, la tradición y los rituales religiosos. Partiendo de la observación de la ausencia de mezquitas y espacios religiosos institucionalizados y de la importancia otorgada a la práctica religiosa entre los mourides de la región, el interrogante que guía este trabajo es el de cómo se configura la relocalización y la producción de un nuevo territorio sagrado en el espacio local.  O artigo trata do processo de relocalização do sagrado feito pelos membros da Mouridiyya -confraria muçulmana sufi- que chegaram na Argentina a partir da última década do século XX, no contexto da migração transnacional senegalesa. Apresenta os resultados do estudo etnográfico localizado na região Litoral, especificamente nas cidades de Santa Fé, Rafaela e Paraná. Analisa e descreve os mecanismos implementados pelos migrantes para produzir um novo território de reinterpretação dos princípios que simbolizam o núcleo da confraria, com foco na forma como os senegaleses recriam a noção de comunidade, também ligada ao trabalho, à tradição e aos rituais religiosos. Partindo da constatação da ausência de mesquitas e espaços religiosos institucionalizados e da importância concedida à prática religiosa entre os Mourides da região, a questão que norteia este trabalho é como se configura a relocalização e produção de um novo território sagrado no espaço local.
