Resumen
RODRIGUEZ-MORENO, José Ramón. Elements of the Praxis and Corpus of Tseltal Ethnological Knowledge in Communities of the Northern Sierra of Chiapas. LiminaR [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.1, pp.92-106. ISSN 2007-8900.
During the last century, the farming productive strategies implemented by ethnics communities around the world, conjunctively with the way they use their natural resources, has been stigmatized by a western "scientific" vision, as wasteful and harmful to the ecosystems. This is also the case for the tseltal communities of the Northern Sierra of Chiapas. The research reviews and surfaces some aspects of the cosmos, corpus and praxis of the tseltal local ecological knowledge, using as reference the milpa production system and other manifestations of this "local and ethnic knowledge' to dismount this "rational"perspective of western reductionism.
