Myriam Lamrani analiza esta confluencia de lo espiritual-po\u00e9tico con los fervorosos asesinatos de las bandas criminales.<\/p>\n

El enfoque de la autora es antropol\u00f3gico, centr\u00e1ndose en la imaginer\u00eda asociada a La Santa Muerte y sus v\u00ednculos con un pa\u00eds marcado por la inseguridad cr\u00f3nica, las pol\u00edticas capitalistas desenfrenadas y las profundas connivencias pol\u00edticas del Estado con los c\u00e1rteles de la droga. Cientos de miles de personas han sido asesinadas, y esto tiene un impacto personal en Lamrani cuando alguien a quien llega a conocer a trav\u00e9s de su trabajo de campo es horriblemente asesinado en un caso de confusi\u00f3n de identidad.<\/p>\n

Oaxaca es uno de los estados m\u00e1s pobres de M\u00e9xico. Sus habitantes son considerados indio <\/em>o ind\u00edgena<\/em>, y Lamrani, de origen \u00e1rabe europeo, escucha el apelativo eee g\u0215era (la blanca [femenino]) cuando sale a la calle. El racismo exige una jerarqu\u00eda y sus gradaciones, y no s\u00f3lo en M\u00e9xico. Obs\u00e9rvese el fen\u00f3meno en Gran Breta\u00f1a de distinguir entre los refugiados de Ucrania y los de Oriente Medio o \u00c1frica.<\/p>\n

El t\u00edtulo del libro viene de darse cuenta de la profundidad de las interacciones de la gente con los santos y con Santa Muerte en particular. Encuentra relaciones entre los vivos y los muertos que son m\u00e1s profundas e \u00edntimas que las que prevalecen en muchas otras partes del mundo. A menudo aparecen fotograf\u00edas enmarcadas de seres queridos fallecidos junto a figuras de la Santa Muerte. Tradicionalmente se la representa como un esqueleto con t\u00fanica, a veces con una guada\u00f1a en una mano, y se la venera por sus poderes curativos en cuestiones de bienestar f\u00edsico, mental y emocional.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>En este sentido, no difiere de otros santos que van y vienen por todo el pa\u00eds, incluidos algunos humor\u00edsticos como Santa Mari La Juaricua, la santa antigentrificaci\u00f3n de Ciudad de M\u00e9xico.<\/p>\n

La convergencia de la superstici\u00f3n basada en los santos con el negocio de los c\u00e1rteles de la droga se debe a la forma en que algunos aspectos de este culto han sido absorbidos por la subcultura del narcotr\u00e1fico. Un devoto con tatuajes de la Santa Muerte en el brazo podr\u00eda, al parecer, confundirse con la pertenencia a un c\u00e1rtel. Oaxaca es famosa por su Di\u00e1 de Muertos y las celebraciones equivalentes no son infrecuentes en Latinoam\u00e9rica. Es comprensible que se trate de un recordatorio de la mortalidad humana, pero el autor encuentra una intimidad con las im\u00e1genes de la muerte que es peculiar de M\u00e9xico. No es una propuesta del todo convincente, aunque existe una especie de mitolog\u00eda sobre el hombre mexicano que es temerariamente indiferente a su mortalidad. Tal vez por eso Le Santa Muerte se presta a los j\u00f3venes dedicados a actividades violentas relacionadas con el narco.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>Existe, en palabras de Jonathan Meades, un contexto m\u00e1s amplio: \u00abDespu\u00e9s del sexo, el cobijo, la comida y la intoxicaci\u00f3n viene el instinto humano elemental para la creaci\u00f3n de la superstici\u00f3n planificada\u00bb.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe intimacy of images: saints, death, and devotion to la Santa Muerte in Oaxaca\u201d<\/em>, de Myriam Lamrani, ha sido publicado por University of Texas Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n
