Abstract
The concept of popular culture and that, closely linked to it, of popular religion have been discussed in many conferences and essays, especially since the Seventies. The historiographical discussion has taken place within a debate that had already involved philosophical, ethnographic and ethno-linguistic disciplines. This essay retraces its fortunes, dwelling on some of the most important contributions, and concludes discussing the fruitfulness and topicality of this issue.
