Beskrivning
This book provides the first ever in-depth analysis of Fariseos, a folk-Catholic tradition performed during Holy Week in the small town of San Pedro de la Cueva located in the state of Sonora, Mexico.Utilizing folklore studies and performance theory, Guillermo Núñez Noriega delves deep into the meaning of this rich cultural tradition. Translated into English for the first time, this in-depth study explores the religious and socio-cultural paradoxes and counternarratives surrounding the festivities, with particular emphasis on expressions of masculinity and the community’s sense of morality. Through interviews, witness testimony, and sophisticated theoretical framing, this book reveals the complexity behind the scenes of this under studied folk religious tradition.

Núñez Noriega's study of the fariseos tradition insightfully probes how this folkloric expression enacts and rescripts the moral and gender imperatives of a community in Sonora, Mexico, located in the ancestral lands of the Opata. As a collective enactment of “catechesis” and “catharsis,” the social drama of the fariseos offers a critical window to grapple with the ludic, erotic, and irrational dramatization of pleasure, aggression, and transgression. Núñez Noriega masterfully illustrates how such a folk tradition codifies religious, cultural, and political demands while allowing the community to rehearse, experience, and negotiate compulsory performances of masculinity, morality, and sexuality.
