SEVERI, Carlo. El Yo-memoria: Una nueva aproximación a los cantos chamánicos amerindios. Cuicuilco [online]. 2008, vol.15, n.42, pp.11-28. ISSN 0185-1659.

In the Amerindian shamanic traditions, ordinary and ritual communication can be distinguished from one another due to the capacity of the last -ritual- to transfer and bring to the frontage certain pragmatic topics of communication. Only then ritual communication can submit these topics to an unexpected elaboration, fulfilled through a reflexive definition from the enunciator. This definition in pragmatic terms from the enunciator can throw new light on the establishment of beliefs implied in ritual action.
