Dimensión multiléctica de los espacios sagrados y la territorialidad indígena

Abstract

The author presents a comparative analysis among the concepts used by diferent indigenous groups in relation with their sacred space and territoriality. It deals basically with yaqui, zoque and chinantec comunities, as well as other groups like the tzotzil. He works an hypotesis to aproach an understanding of the conformation, fragmentation or symbolic reconstruction of their space from the historicand socio-cultural contexts. He also proposes the delimitation of their territory as a means of identity.
