LEON VEGA, Gilberto. Warmth, heart and personality among the Nahuas of San Pedro Xolotla. Cuicuilco. Rev. cienc. antropol. [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.70, pp.195-223. ISSN 2448-8488.
The objective of this article is to understand the correlation established between the soul/spirit and the heart, how it effects affection, behavior and the definition of the personality. We start from the idea that there is an interrelationship between the entities and psychic centers within the body, which allows the person to generate emotions, shape his/her character and recreate the ways of being and interacting with the world. The idea here is that it is necessary to explore the conception of the physical body and the person. The ethnographic information gathered from the Nahuas of Xolotla, in the state of Puebla, is studied in light of the ethno-historical sources of the Nahuas of the 16th Century.
