Naturaleza-cultura. Un marco de análisis para la relación persona-cosmos

Abstract

The relationship between Nature and Culture has been  one of the most controversial topics in Anthropology. The main objectives of this essay are two: the first one is to review one part of the many trends around this subject, and the second is to elaborate on this discussion as well as to suggest some of the basic aspects (e. g. theoretical framework), necessary to study the dichotomies body-cosmos and person-cosmos. These paired concepts are fundamental to the development of contemporary Mexican Anthropology.
