Abstract

LERMA RODRIGUEZ, Enriqueta. La construcción social del tiempo circular y el espacio concéntrico y reticular en la ritualidad yaqui. Nueva antropol [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.84, pp.11-31. ISSN 0185-0636.

The author maintains the hypothesis that the Yaqui ritual calendar is made up of agricultural cycles consisting of four stages: the cold dry season (severia kibake, from December-February), the hot dry season (tátaria kibake, from March-May), the season of intense rain (tuburia, from June-September) and the season of sporadic rain (equipastas, from October-November). The Yaqui rituality is culturally organized based on these seasons. Here the social construct of space is analyzed based on the circulation of the "bolo" (ritual food) and the sacred objects (dancers) in the intermediate stages; the organization of the "fiesteros" (feasts) and the system of reciprocity between various villages are viewed.

Keywords : Rural space; ritual meal; ritual reciprocity; festive cycle.
