There are several positions within social theory on how to study the body
one of them —the theory of embodiment— claims that the body is the center of all existential activity
the subject of perception and
in turn
the source of practices that affect social structures. This paper explores the bodily techniques used in a pilgrimage from San AgustÃn to Talpa
in southern Jalisco
in order to find the themes that the pilgrims articulate in their voyage. Some of these cultural themes are
the group’s permanence and constitution
the memories inscribed in the body
and the relationship with supernatural beings. All of them make up the pilgrim’s experience of sacredness. cuerpo
