Este libro ofrece una introducción general a las religiones de Mesoamérica. No persigue un fin enciclopedista, sino demostrar que, aun en la época de la hiperespecialización académica, los estudios mesoamericanos integrales no son imposibles.Un aporte fundamental de esta nueva propuesta es impulsar conceptos que no provienen de la teología y de la historia de las religiones, sino de las mismas prácticas indígenas. Términos como politeísmo, cosmología, mitología, sacrificio y oración deberían ser cuestionados, si se pretende entender las religiones mesoamericanas en su propia lógica relacional.Porque en Mesoamérica, la vida ritual trata sobre todo del manejo de relaciones sociales y asuntos prácticos que afectan los diferentes seres del cosmos, humanos y no-humanos. No existe un dualismo metafísico que separe lo espiritual de lo mundano ni las separaciones tajantes entre humanos, animales y otros seres: los dioses son seres cercanos a los humanos y a los demás agentes del cosmos; incluso se les trata como parientes o se les identifica con los ancestros. Pero, al mismo tiempo, también pertenecen a ámbitos de la alteridad que son peligrosos, hasta cierto punto misteriosos u ominosos y, sobre todo, muy difíciles de controlar.Una obra que cuestiona modelos eurocéntricos para estimular la reflexión y el debate.
