PAGE-PLIEGO, Jaime Tomás. Subjectivity about Causality of Diabetes Mellitus between Six Tseltals from Main Town Tenejapa, Chiapas. LiminaR [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.2, pp.84-95. ISSN 2007-8900.

This paper is about the subjectivity of six Tseltals from the main town ofTenejapa, Chiapas, about what they consider the causes of their "sugar". Through their stories we figure out what they consider direct, triggering and persisting causes of their illness. We address the tendency in this population to enunciate natural factors over supernatural, without discarding the fact that we can still find those who deposit the cause in the damage produced by third persons through ak'chamel (emitted disease)The paper also considers the importance that is attributed to emotions as triggering and aggravating factors.

Palabras llave : diabetes; subjectivity; direct causes; triggering causes; Tseltales.
