Muerte y comunidad en Amaicha del Valle (Valles Calchaquíes. Tucumán)

Abstract

This article takes -as a result of a process of fieldwork in Amaicha del Valle (Tucumán Calchaquí.)- relations between ritual, death and community linked to collective mobilization, carried out by women, after the murder of an old commoner. It exposes a central analytical category of research, that of "symbolic gender territoriality" which comprises the most significant aspects of the relations between these three concepts for building a community identity Amaicheña.
