The article describes the results of a study that explores the effects of pandemic distancing on the dialogue experienced within religious communities and between believers of different religious backgrounds. The design of the research conducted on Key Informants identified among opinion leaders of different religious communities residing in Italy is presented, after having defined the concepts of dialogue, as a method of encounter/clash between identities, and of secularism, as a critical attitude and as a field of game on which to develop dialogue. The analysis of the interviews reveals dialogue practices that show a distinction between dialectical conversation and a dialogic conversation that made it possible to continue the dialogue during and after the pandemic distancing.
L'articolo descrive i risultati di una ricerca esplorativa sugli effetti del distanziamento pandemico nel dialogo esperito tra le comunità religiose di origine diversa e dentro le stesse comunità. Il disegno della ricerca ha previsto interviste a testimoni privilegiati identificati tra gli opinion leaders di differenti comunità religiose presenti in Italia , dopo aver definito il concetto di dialogo, come un metodo di incontro/scontro tra le identità, la secolarizzazione, come un'attitudine critica e come un campo nel quale si sviluppa il dialogo. L'analisi delle interviste rivela le pratiche del dialogo che mostrano una distinzione tra scambio dialettico e dialogico che ha reso possibile di continuare il dialogo durante e dopo la distanza pandemica.

Abstract
The article describes the results of a study that explores the effects of pandemic distancing on the dialogue experienced within religious communities and between believers of different religious backgrounds. The design of the research conducted on Key Informants identified among opinion leaders of different religious communities residing in Italy is presented, after having defined the concepts of dialogue, as a method of encounter/clash between identities, and of secularism, as a critical attitude and as a field of game on which to develop dialogue. The analysis of the interviews reveals dialogue practices that show a distinction between dialectical conversation and a dialogic conversation that made it possible to continue the dialogue during and after the pandemic distancing.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
