About this book

"En este libro se alternan estudios sobre relaciones rituales del presente y del pasado, de diferentes regiones y culturas de México y Estados Unidos (huicholes, mexicas y mesoamericanos del Posclásico, pueblo, pawnee, mandan y sitios de las antiguas civilizaciones del Mississippi) con discusiones que problematizan las formas de simbolización en las expresiones rituales y artísticas, tendencias que en antropología se conocen como "relacionales" o "posestructuralistas". El objetivo es formular un solo enfoque para el arte y el ritual. También explora el vínculo entre la complejidad relacional del ritual con la producción de diversidad: todo indica que el fenómeno de la diversidad de los mundos amerindios tiene que ver con la generación de pluralidad cultural. La diferencia es un valor positivo, tal como lo es la complejidad"-- This book alternates studies on ritual relationships of the present and the past, from different regions and cultures of the world. México and the United States (Huichols, Mexicas and Mesoamericans of the Postclassic, people, Pawnee, Mandan and sites of the ancient civilizations of the Mississippi) with discussions that problematize the forms of symbolization in ritual and artistic expressions, trends that in anthropology are known as "relational" or "poststructuralist". The goal is to formulate a single approach to art and ritual. It also explores the link between the relational complexity of ritual and the production of diversity: everything indicates that the phenomenon of diversity of the Amerindian worlds has to do with the generation of cultural plurality. Difference is a positive value, just as complexity is.
