ENTRE LA GEOGRAFÍA FÍSICA Y LA SIMBÓLICA: COSMOVISIÓN CHATINA Y SABERES SOBRE EL AGUA EN SAN MIGUEL PANIXTLAHUACA.

In this contribution, elements of the conception about water that the Chatinos of Oaxaca have are shown in order to locate the role of the worldview in the generation of knowledge and the differences that, based on it, exist between the perception of the geographical thing of the Chatinos and the prevailing scientific perception. The objective is to provide arguments to understand the problems involved in the dialogue of knowledge between two different worldviews. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
