Resumen
CRUZ, Alline Torres Dias da. The house and the altars. Etnográfica [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.2, pp.351-370. ISSN 0873-6561. https://doi.org/10/4000/etnografica/8867.
This article is based on ethnographic data about Dominican Republic people which render ritual service to spirits so-called mistérios (that also receive ritual assistance from Haitian people) in Puerto Rico. It will describe ways of interiorizing artifacts, substances and images in order to create altars at home. It discusses how the manipulation of these materials makes as sensory effects on spirits as well tries to rebuild their places of being: those related to time in which mistérios were “alive” or that restore the places where mistérios live as dead.
