The central purpose of this paper is to introduce a description and analysis of contingent ways of configuration of identities based upon the case of the Eastern Toba (Qom Taksek) from central Chaco (Argentina). Consequently, the concepts of communitas, habitus and ritual action are discussed with regard to their function in framing the organization of experience and world view, and likewise of situations of colonialism, syncretism, vital crisis and group’s friction.Downloads
