Abstract

SEPULVEDA LOPEZ DE MESA, Rodrigo Iván. "VIVIR LAS IDEAS, IDEAR LA VIDA": ADVERSITY, SUICIDE AND FLEXIBILITY IN THE ETHOS OF THE EMBERA AND WOUNAAN PEOPLES OF RIOSUCIO, COLOMBIA. Antipod. Rev. Antropol. Arqueol. [online]. 2008, n.6, pp.245-269. ISSN 1900-5407.

Suicide among natives, allows understanding mental illness as a saturation of adversity; the experience of a place in the world strangled by a cultural ethos immersed in violence, leads to suicide as a rite of passage towards reverie life. In this sense, therapy is a kind of relationship with the other, in which tangetiality, subjectivity and subjunctive social effects support such a relationship towards flexibility.

Keywords : Ethos; Adversity; Ethnosynthoms; Ethnoetiology; Subjunctive Social Effects.
