Serafino, Gregorio. "Rituales indígenas en Mesoamerica : la fiesta de Petición de Lluvias et Montaña de Guerrero (méxico)." Paris, EPHE, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012EPHE5003.
Full textThis doctoral thesis concerns native’s rituals in Mexican’s indigenous communities from an anthropological point of view. The main object of the research is the ritual of the rain, or Petición de Lluvias, characterized both by animal sacrifice and by a specific cause-and-effect relationship with the surrounding environment. Ethnographic research has begun on the assumption that we want to verify the persistence of ceremonial procedures that do not belong completely to the Catholic religion. The research was developed in the region of Montaña de Guerrero, situated in South-western Mexico, where live the community of ethnic group Nahua and more precisely in the village of San Pedro Petlacala, Acuilpa, e Xalpatláhuac in the neighborhood of the small town Tlapa de Comonfort. In an environmental context deeply rural as that of the Montaña de Guerrero, the persistence of the rituals draw attention on how the natural resources and the atmospheric agents - rain, wind, clouds - continue to represent the central elements that affect economic variables of subsistence and of social reproduction. The ritual of Petición de Lluvia represents the moment of conjunction between the dry and the rainy season, between planting and harvest of corn. Defined as a religious practice in which the group identifies itself and participates with various donations (ofrenda or ritual deposit), it can be divided into food/objects/prayers and ritual actions. The receiver of the offer is the same divinity of the rain, Tlaloc to the ancient Mesoamerican civilizations, invoked in the guise of the patron saint of 25 April, San Marcos
Neff, Françoise. "Mouvement et intensité dans la pensée indienne : mythes et rituels de l'Etat de Guerrero, Mexique." Paris 10, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA100059.
Full textThe whole year round, the indigenous communities from de “Mountain” region (State of Guerrero, Mexico), nahuas, me'phaa (tlapanec) and sa'avi (mixtec), celebrate the arrival or departure of their guests, human beings and animals as well as natural elements, since they take part in the collective labour of making sure that plants, beasts and rain are growing, being multiplied and righteously distributed. Mythes and rites are organized around opposed and complementary principles, brought together and fused into multiple forms (such as bridal engagements, fights, dreams), and they finally come after each other at the end of the sacrifices. . This process of never-ending creation reactivates lost intensities and makes the world going round, allowing generations to follow in the footsteps of the former one
Pereira, Grégory. "Potrero de Guadalupe : anthropologie funéraire d'une communauté pré-tarasque du nord du Michoacán, Mexique." Paris 1, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA01A002.
Full textThis work is devoted to the study of mortuary practices of the pre-tarascan societies of the highlands of Michoacan. We have used as point of depart for our research the results obtained during the excavations of the site of Guadalupe. They have allowed as to realize an assessment of sepulcral descoveries of the region and to begin a chronological reconstitution. Through an approach using the methods of archaeology, "field anthropology" and biological anthropology, we have been able to reconstruct the mortuary behaviour interpreted here in socio-cultural dimensions. Moreover, the comparisons that we have been able to carry out with mortuary complexes from the tarascan period enable us to introduce new informations concerning the important transformations which mark the raise of Tarascan state

Full textWith the conception of time as a guiding principle, the object of my research is the calendar, the paradigmatic (or calendrical) rites and the mythology of the Mixe Indians of Oaxaca, Mexico. My principal interest is to know the continuity of the pre-Hispanic Mixe religion in its nowadays, catholic, character. Some questions guide this research : which are the pre-Hispanic religious aspects (calendar, myths and rites) that have survived and why? Why have the rituals of the annual calendar been emptied of meaning? What have they become? What role has the non-adjustment of the calendar played? What is the real importance of the first and second solar passage in the zenith? The Holy Cross festival envelopes an ancient sowing festival, or does it only envelope the sowing? On the basis of the existence of the divinatory and annual calendar and a corpus of myths and some rituals, my initial hypothesis was that Mixe religion has survived very close to the pre-Hispanic sources and that she was very little influenced by Catholicism? This research shows that the biggest continuity is to be found in both the divinatory calendar and sacrifice as flexible systems that have learned to coexist with the official religion. The myths, real survivors from the past, are vehicles of an ideology strongly attached to the Mesoamerican thought, but they have lost their social and ritual meaning. Concerning the calendrical rites, Catholicism has been massively imposed, permitting little room for the contingent prolongation, not structural, as some specialist believe : because they are pragmatic and millenarian rites (sowing, harvest, sacrifice) that have never paid attention to the irritating complications of a ritual calendar without adjustment that kept on wandering off the year

Valdovinos, Margarita. "Les chants de mitote nayeri : une pratique discursive au sein de l'action rituelle." Thesis, Paris 10, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008PA100071.
Full textThis research is devoted to the analysis of the ritual chants performed at the mitote ceremonies of the Cora (Náyeri) people of the West of Mexico. We will start from the concrete situation in which these chants are performed. The actions that constitute the mitote will be exposed through a detailed ethnographic description that will allow us to understand the particularities of participation in ritual. Through these pages, we will discover the correspondence between chants and actions. This relation – known to be at the heart of the activity of ritual specialists – doesn’t mean that the chants of mitote are simple descriptions of the actions accomplished on it, and therefore a superfluous element. On the contrary, because of their form and their content, these chants appear as essential constituents of the relational configuration that characterizes mitote. Through the analysis of ritual actions, of the singer’s performance and of the chants themselves, we will explore the richness of a discursive tradition that is not just related to ritual action but also makes part of it. To complete this study, we include in a second volume the integral transcriptions of the chants performed in a mitote

Full textPharmakons-foods used in therapeutics without being administered in accordance with established medical practices, have been ignored by research both in the anthropology of food and in ethnopharmacology. They are the matter studied in this exploration of therapeutic rituals in the Central Mesoamerican area, more particularly la limpia. The semiological-anthropological study of the acts which constitute this therapeutic practice shows that these foods are essentially used in two of the ritual’s metasequences, corresponding to the practitioner’s intervention on the patient on one hand and on the surrounding environment on the other: the fundamental act performed using one or several cleansing agents and the offerings to the non-ordinary entities responsible for the affliction. These particular foods are studied in their synchronic and diachronic aspects: the place they occupy in therapeutic rituals, the trophic networks they partake in, and the reasons behind their evolution over the centuries

Full textThis thesis explores the mechanisms of learning and transmission of ritual know-how and memory. It does so through the analysis of one agricultural ritual celebrated during the dry season (tukari) at a family temple (xiriki) in a huichol (wixarika) indigenous community of Santa Catarina Cuexcomatitlan - Tuapurie of Mexico. The ritual is taken as a simplified model and analysed under a relational perspective, by focusing on each form of expression and communication as well as their mode of articulation and inseparability. These structure the thesis in three main parts: ritual interaction, shamanic chant and artefact manipulation. Personhood and identity (sexual and ethnic) are undertakenat each level of the analysis by focusing on the paradoxical identity of the enunciator and on three ritual identities - mother maize, elder brother deer and flower child - emerged by the condensation of contradictory relational modes. The complex relational configuration resulting in enacted and put into ipmage, offering a new frame to the definition and understanding of wixarika identity. The study of the manipulation and the collective production of imagery reflects on this particular mode of ritual expressivity as well as on its role in the preservation and construction of memory. Ritual complexity is therefore explored as an efficacious strategy in the reproduction of the vigourous cultural tradition of the the wixaritari (Huichol)

Full textFor what reasons do the Mixes of Sierra Norte in Oaxaca (Mexico) organize ritual itinaries in areas as diverse as agriculture, medicine, politics or life cycles? Why do rituals itinaries contain deposits accompanied by sacrifices and meal rituals? What is the specificity of the participation of non-human agents in each of these areas? These are the main questions that guide the discussion in this thesis. After distinguishing three levels of activities (human, non-human, ritual), a global model is developped to explain why, despite the diversity of human activities, the intermediary level of ritual remains relatively stereotypes. The reflection then focuses on the specificity of the intervention of non-human agents, as for instance "The Life's giver", when they contribute to the success of vital processes in agriculture and the construction of the person. The study of ritual activity associated with political and legal activity in turn allows for understanding how these agents may also contribute to the resolution of conflicts in village communities
Lefèvre, Lemorin Karen Christine. "Approche ethnoscénologique des pratiques spectaculaires ritualisées dans le bassin du Maroni (Guyane française)." Paris 8, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA081386.
Full textThere are not many countries in the world that offer as much ethnological diversity as the french guyana. It is from the plurality of choregraphic practices observed in the polyethnic region of west guyana that the author, classical dance teacher, integrates other human spectacular behaviours pointing out what separates various ceremonial theatricalizations from real "spectacular" ones. In this prospect, beyond the apparent differences from a society to another, the pointing up of the unity of ritualized spectacular practices enables to release the ontological implications as it appears that man never directs innocently and naively his life, that he always stakes great metaphysical options. Formalized in specific behaviours involving a collective participation to a same statuts distincts from the one of everyday life, these practices seem to enable mankind to control the tragedy of its existence through a total support producing intense emotions and governing the lived consciousness of the sacred through a narrow association of spirit and body, not only in its cognitive or emotional dimensions but as well in spiritual ones
