Abstract

CORDOBA PONCE, Erich Mauricio. sitios sagrados y territorio wiwa. univ.humanist. [online]. 2006, n.61, pp.275-286. ISSN 0120-4807.

This article explores several territorial dynamics, based on their symbolic and social importance. It asks for the role the sacred plays in the construction of the territory and the ways in which, from this starting point, a set of associations and belongings to a determined group is created. To this end, the work studies several places that are considered sacred inside Gotshezhi, a Wiwa village located in the lower river basin of the Guachaca river, in the northeast of the Sierra Nevada of Santa Martha.

Keywords : Territory; wiwa sacred places.
