Chachi Ritual as Metamorphosis. A question that has intrigued anthropologists for a long time is why catastrophic anxieties are so omnipresent among Amerindian peoples.

Rituels chachi et métamorphoses. L’omniprésence des angoisses de catastrophes chez les peuples amérindiens intrigue les anthropologues depuis longtemps. Connues dans la littérature sous le nom de « millénarismes », la crainte d’une apocalypse est récurrente dans toute l’Amérique du Sud. Cet article entend contribuer à une meilleure compréhension de ce phénomène en s’intéressant aux notions relatives à la métamorphose. Plus particulièrement, il explore le lien entre catastrophes et fêtes de mariage chez les Chachi, un groupe amérindien de la côte pacifique équatorienne. Desastres y bodas. Rituales chachis como metamórfosis. Una cuestión que ha intrigado a los antropólogos desde hace mucho tiempo es la omnipresencia de ansiedades catastróficas entre los pueblos amerindios. Conocidos en la literatura como « milenarismo », los temores de un apocalipsis aparecen en todos partes de América del Sur. Este artículo se propone de contribuir a una mejor comprensión de este fenómeno mediante el examen de nociones relacionadas con la metamórfosis. Más concretamente, la investigación se centra en la relación entre las catástrofes y las bodas de los chachis, un grupo indígena de la costa del Pacífico de Ecuador. |
