| Summary: | There exists spatial symbolism (village-cemetery) and temporary symbolism (day-night) linked to the world of the dead, they intermingle and they are in movement. They also result of a successful transmission through childhood socialization. Sometimes the dead come back and invade the spaces and time of the living, penetrating into their realities and giving place to the new definitions. In the links between the two worlds living entities acquire ambivalent functions, carrying also a double identity living and dead (or living in contact with the dead and contaminated by that). That makes them hybrid entities that I have named transitional (because they are symbolically between the two worlds). The living persons who take on this role can be temporary or definitive. In this article I’m going to limit my presentation to expose the case of the one personage, El Jeremías, in the context of a ritual celebration. He presents himself as a transitional entity who, in this particular model, will allow the renewal of the contract between the living and the dead, and the redefinition of the nocturnal reality of the village. |
