Dios, Cristo y el maligno: disputas cosmológicas y ciclos temporales en San Antonio del Cajón (provincia de Catamarca, Argentina)
Abstract
En San Antonio, Catamarca, Argentina, la disputa entre las fuerzas de Dios y Cristo, y el maligno es narrada por la gente del lugar como un principio ordenador del mundo. En ella, las personas toman partido activamente a través de la acción ritual. En este artículo presento y discuto cómo esta pugna se plasma en el ciclo anual y el ciclo diario. En particular, sugiero que los lazos cosmológicos que se expresan anualmente se reiteran a escala diaria, de modo que la jornada resulta una repetición microcósmica que se instaura bajo similares principios organizativos que el ciclo anual.
Palabras claves: cosmología - tiempo - ritual.
In San Antonio, Catamarca, Argentina, the dispute between God and Christ’s forces, and evil’s is narrated by the locals as a world’s ruling principle. In it, people take active participation through the ritual action. In this article I present and discuss how this conflict is shaped in the yearly and daily cycles. In particular, I suggest the cosmological liaisons that are expressed annually, are repeated on a daily basis, in a way that the day results in a microcosmic repetition that is presented under similar organizing principles to those of the yearly cycle.
Key words: cosmology - time - ritual.
