La construcción de lo sagradoSanta Eulalia de Mérida (y su extensión por el levante español)

Laburpena

This work represents an effort to understand and to uncover the heart of the religious phenomenon, the sacred thing, his creation and some of his multiple forms of incarnation. The pretension is to study the way in which some social communities understand the transcendent reality of the sacred thing and his manifestations: the myth, the symbol, the ritual and the holiday. Expressions that they constitute the principal manners of explanation and of approximation, on the part of the communities, to this symbolic universe. The foundation of this anthropologic investigation is to study the production of particular current, contextual, historical and artistic conventions that they construct Holy Eulalia in Merida and transform it into a mythical creation and in a symbol that expands re-inventándose, in agreementin agreement with the epoch and the ideology to the one that serves, for the Spanish Levant, in Barcelona and in Totana (Murcia).
