摘要：How is the body conceived in the cult of María Lionza? What role does corporality play in possession rituals? What similarities exist between the vision of the body common to this cult and that which predominates in European society? This text argues that two different visions of the body exist in the cult: on the one hand, there is a naturalist vision, clearly revealed in interviews, which emphasizes the discontinuity between body and soul. On the other hand, there is a more analogist vision, manifested in the actions carried out by the believers during the rituals, which highlights the continuity between the material and immaterial aspects of human beings. The followers of this cult constantly oscillate —at times unconsciously and at times with clear intention— between these two perspectives. From a methodological standpoint, this ambivalence can only be understood by comparing ethnographic data obtained through various research techniques, such as interviews, participant observation or the use of audiovisual techniques.
