| description | The present work aims at analysing the difficulties in keeping relationships in contemporary societies. Starting from obstacles imposed on relationships involving physical games and festive meetings of a religious character, we defined groups and the mediations they are subjected to. In this research we used tools provided by anthropology and ethnohistory. We also included information gathered in field work, which is part of a project to recover fragmented ritual elements in the memory of communities. With these instruments we were able to take the first steps away from reductionist definitions and promote the reinterpretation of the body. |
