Abstract

"In The Hot and the Cold, Jacques Chevalier and Andres Sanchez Bain examine aspects of indigenous world views and myths, and challenge the prevailing notion that hot-cold reasoning in Latin America is a product of the Hippocratic humoral doctrine brought by the Spaniards in the sixteenth century." "Based on extensive field work in southern Veracruz, this innovative study discusses folk tales and stories of illness from indigenous people, and provides explanations that emphasize the close connections between healing practices, milpa (corn field) cultivation, and corn mythology, indicating that human health and the life cycle of the corn plant are governed by the same principles founded on native concepts of the hot and the cold. Notions of what is cold and what is hot influence the ways in which the Nahuas and Zoque-Popolucas of the Sierra de Santa Marta think about their relationship with the land and all entities that surround them, including fellow humans, plants, animals, and spirits. By revealing the connections between ethnomedicine, agriculture, and mythology, Chevalier and Sanchez Bain help clarify puzzling aspects of Mesoamerican religion and symbolic thought, and lead the way towards a better understanding of indigenous perspectives in the modern world."--Jacket

Abstract

Si bien los valores occidentales se han generalizado a escala mundial, muchas culturas, como la de los nahuas de México, han logrado mantenerse vivas gracias a la preservación de la lengua materna, ya que, como señala la autora de este volumen, en ella se elabora nuestro pensamiento. Para entender la cultura nahua y dilucidar de qué modo asimiló el pensamiento occidental cristiano, Sybille de Pury-Toumi realiza un estudio detallado del sistema léxico y etimológico de la lengua vernácula, así como de la tradición oral, que ha sido su terreno de expresión privilegiado.
