Chiapas : le cœur et l'effroi
In Mexico today, eight years after the signing of the Nafta free-trade agreements and their armed uprising, the people of the Chiapas live at odds with the Mexican state, which has translated into a latent conflict, called "the low-intensity war." This war, characterized by displaced populations, by the disappearance of community figures and the destruction of ritual objects, has created suffering, fevers, physical pain. A series of symptoms the Indians calls "Susto." When a man dreams, his spirit leaves his body. In some cases, this fracture of the oneness of the body and the spirit causes physical disorders, affliction and even death.
