Description
Abstract
El artículo propone una lectura antropológica del cuento "La
Santa Muerte" de Homero Aridjis. Se realiza una revisión de diferentes
acercamientos a la interpretación del culto a la Santa Muerte, mostrando su
origen colonial y la variedad de tradiciones actuales. El concepto de
sincretismo resulta crucial para el análisis, teniendo en cuenta tanto los
aspectos literarios de la obra, como la selección de elementos religiosos que
giran en torno a la idea de sacrificio. Aridjis sincretiza los culturemas
prehispánicos de diferentes tradiciones con algunos rasgos contemporáneos
del culto, creando una forma sui generis atribuida a los círculos de
narcotráfico.
