GIL VELOZ, Gabriela. The three bodies: the MIB’s influence on raramuri marriages. Alteridades [online]. 2020, vol.30, n.60, pp.105-116. Epub 26-Mar-2021. ISSN 2448-850X. https://doi.org/10.24275/uam/izt/dcsh/alt/2020v30n60/gil.
Bawinokachi Indigenous Mission (MIB) was founded in 1952 by Ana García Narro in the Sierra Tarahumara, with the desire to evangelize and educate the rarámuri. The legacy of “Anita” continues with missionaries influencing life in different areas of the community: social, political, cultural, personal and individual. This article will analyze generational changes in marriage (arrejuntamientos) through the three bodies theoretical perspective (Scheper-Hughes and Lock, 1987). The text presents marriages through three rarámuri generations, historically interconnected by different contexts such as sowing, grazing, sawmills, seasonal migration and drug trafficking. The social body and the normativity of the political body mediate the first two generations; whereas the individual body does so in the last one. The three bodies interrelate and dialogue with each other.
