| Sumario: | [EN] This article analyses the process of UNESCO nomination of the pirekua, the traditional song of the indigenous Purepecha people (Mexico). The nomination of the pirekua as Intangible Cultural Heritage by the UNESCO was controversial. Purepecha communities were neither informed nor consulted about the nomination, a situation which then led to conflict. In order to understand better this process of nomination we identify distinct social agents, as well as their positions within this process. The article focuses on the analysis of the behavior of Mexican state institutions both at a federal and state level. Using the field theory of Pierre Bourdieu, we made a discursive analysis that allows us to take account of the discourses and positions of civil servants as well as the relationships of power and domination in the Mexican heritage field. |
