总结:This work has analyzed how a religious practice, the burhan, is employed as political and subjective expression by some Sufi communities that consider it the symbol of the infinite love of God and reverence to their Shaykh. Its symbolic and discursive diversification outlines the great pluralization of the post-socialist religious field, in which such a practice, highly arousing, can be stigmatized or sublimated as community or individual label. In post-socialist time, the body becomes more and more an expression of the self that is disciplined to forge individual subjectivity. In this sense, some people independently regulate and define their bodies with disciplinary practices such as the burhan, which thus entail their visions of the world.
