Summary

This ethnographic study reveals the complex interplay of cosmovisiones (worldviews) among indigenous Totonac communities in Veracruz, Mexico, highlighting how these perspectives shape identities, experiences of violence, and migration patterns. The research, conducted in San Antonio Ojital and El Tajín, employs participatory observation to capture daily interactions and recurring conversations, uncovering the plural and diverse nature of local worldviews. By focusing on the encounters and distances between researchers and participants, the study provides a nuanced understanding of how cultural narratives evolve within these communities.
