En este artículo se muestran las rupturas y continuidades del culto al agua y los cerros en la comunidad andina de Socoroma (norte de Chile). Con ello buscamos identificar y comprender las expresiones rituales presentes en la tradición oral y en las manifestaciones religiosas de esta comunidad. Dichas expresiones constituyen un elemento fundamental para generar la identidad cultural de sus habitantes. Intentaremos mostrar cómo el culto a los cerros y al agua se reelaboran a partir de los procesos de cambio cultural, generando nuevas deconstrucciones en los ritos agrícolas.
This research shows the breaks and continuities evidence of the cult of water and mountains in the Andean community of Socoroma (Northern Chile). We attempt to identify and understand the ritual expressions present in oral tradition and the religious manifestations of this community, which are fundamental elements in generating the cultural identity of its inhabitants. Our purpose is to show how the cult of the mountains and the water is reworked through the processes of cultural change, generating new deconstructions in agricultural rites.
