This article approaches the theme of globalization through a framework of anthropological references, especially the notion of myth. Meanwhile, it explores the relations between globalization as perspective and globalization as myth (as opposed to globalization as object), with a "spirit of epoch" manifested transversally in various domains, both in forms of knowledge and social practices in general. It focuses on the field of religiosity and anthropological practice itself as points of entry for capturing this "spirit of epoch".
