Notas sobre la relación entre sistema de cargos otomí y Estado

Abstract

This article explores the role of traditional otomí cargos or mayordomías as pedagogic forms of government and autonomic practices, as well as its growing closeness to the multicultural principles put forward by the Mexican state. These include the mercantilization of cultural difference and, along this line, the funding and sponsoring of the “traditional” local practice, in this case, the mayordomías. Accepting or rejecting financial support for autonomic performances means not only the redefinition of the State field but also, for those involved, a dilemma over the nature of their organization and ritual practices.
