SIWO109902020-07-02T15:28:58Z The funeral culture of the indigenous communities of Mexico and the Mesoamerican riligious imagination La cultura funeraria de las comunidades indígenas de México y el imaginario religioso mesoamericano A cultura funerária das comunidades indígenas do México e o imaginário religioso mesoamericano Barbosa Sánchez, Alma Patricia In spite of the historical brunt of Western culture and catholic evangelization, the Mexican indigenous communities preserved, within their oral tradition and funerary culture, two basic premises of the Mesoamerican religious imaginary: the conception of life/death duality and the body/soul duality. Periodically, and on the fringes of Catholic liturgy, they perform sui géneris rituals, where they establish a communication and collaboration with the deceased. Oral testimonies explain the conception of the supernatural world, as well as the existence of the deceased, within the basic premises of the Mesoamerican religious imaginary. No obstante el embate histórico de la cultura occidental y de la evangelización católica, las comunidades indígenas de México preservaron, en su tradición oral y en su cultura funeraria, dos premisas básicas del imaginario religioso mesoamericano: la concepción de la dualidad vida/ muerte y de la dualidad cuerpo/ánima. Periódicamente y al margen de la liturgia católica, llevan a cabo sui géneris rituales, donde instituyen una comunicación y colaboración con los difuntos. Los testimonios orales exponen la concepción del mundo sobrenatural y la existencia de los difuntos, dentro de las premisas básica del imaginario religioso mesoamericano.
