Resumen
ALEGRE GONZALEZ, Lizette. El camino de los muertos: Relaciones intratextuales en los ritos nahuas de Velación de Cruz y Xantolo. Revista de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales [online]. 2004, vol.20, n.44, pp.9-27. ISSN 1012-1587.
This paper is based on ethno-musicological research done in the Nahua community of Chilocuil, Tamán, in the Tamazunchale Municipality, San Luis Potosí located in the Huasteca region (Mexico). As part of the music performed by its habitants we find the vinuetes, a musical gender played in Velación de cruz and Xantolo, which are rituals related to the veneration of death. By considering these rituals as texts, this research hopes to understand the processes of musical signification by analyzing intratextual relations between the musical, the visual and the verbal languages.
Palabras clave : Music; semiotics; ritual; death.
