Abstract

FLOREZ FUYA, F. R.. 'LIKE TEARS... IN RAIN'. SEMIOTIC ETHNOGRAPHY OF EMOTIONAL IDENTITIES IN THE FIESTAS OF EL VALLE (CHOCO-COLOMBIA). Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2008, vol.44, n.1, pp.191-221. ISSN 0486-6525.

The article explores how emotions are related to the historical sense of belonging to a particular space and human group, taking into account the fiestas in El Valle (Choco, Colombia ). The analysis draws on semiotics and a triadic sign model which may be more productive than other interpretive models for linking emotions to rituals.

Keywords : semiotic; identities; emotions; fiestas; El Valle (Choco-Colombia).
