FIGUEROA SERRANO, David. Water in Mazahua perception: Ecophilosophy and narrative of nature. Trace (Méx. DF) [online]. 2020, n.78, pp.154-178. Epub 28-Abr-2021. ISSN 2007-2392. https://doi.org/10.22134/trace.78.2020.593.
Various societies have designed nature as an integral whole and as a living entity. This ontological perspective is a form of being in the world and represents other paths of coexistence with the environment. This text seeks to provide elements to understand the perception of water in the Mazahua people of the State of Mexico, from cosmological references. From the perspective of ecophilosophy, these cosmological referents are necessary to rethink our epistemic foundations on nature. Methodologically, fieldwork was carried out in the Mazahua communities of the northwestern and western region, mainly in localities near the Lerma and Cutzamala rivers. Based on in-depth interviews, área tours and documentary information, the perception of water was identified, as well as the different conflicts over water resources and diversion projects.
