Long-term studies of a specific reality – such as a religious community or an immigrant group – always represent an exercise of gluing theories up the object. Every new study comes as a new layer that, in the end, will look like a complex Photoshopped image, which may not fix with the original background. In the end, also, and maybe, the community has changed to adequate itself to every new layer, in a complex game of shadows.
