MONTOYA, David. Perpetual hostility, transitory transformations: Person, body and morality between the tsotsiles of Chamula, Chiapas. Trace (Méx. DF) [online]. 2020, n.78, pp.67-87.  Epub 28-Abr-2021. ISSN 2007-2392.  https://doi.org/10.22134/trace.78.2020.735.

This ethnographic study shows that the chon -an aspect of the person, generally associated with the animal- is related to an state of permanent hostility, given in the world since primordial times. Although this aspect, while enhancing vulnerability among humans, highlights the strength of other beings such as God and the Pukuj. Therefore, to deal with this atmosphere of hostility and, therefore, to mitigate its own vulnerability, humanity undergoes multiple transformations moral-bodily.

Palabras llave : chon; Tsotsiles; humanity; vulnerability; morale.
