| Summary: | This paper is about the significance of particular red beads used in love magic during the 17th and 18th centuries, specifically on the construction of symbolic universe through perceptions based on «others» materiality. It aims to provide a connected studied between Spain and New Spain through the histories of the gipsy Generosa Vicente and mestiza Margarita Palacios recovered from the Inquisition authorities notes. This is the way to understand the extent to which cross-cultural contacts privilege the transmission of ideas associated with objects, and how they were used apparently with similar purposes but with a very different meaning. El presente artículo trata sobre el papel de unas cuentas rojas en la magia de amor de los siglos XVII y XVIII, más concretamente sobre los procesos de construcción del universo simbólico a través de las percepciones y estímulos que evocan materiales de «otros» ajenos. Para el efecto, se realiza un estudio conectado entre España y Nueva España que tiene por base las historias de la gitana Generosa Vicente y de la mestiza Margarita Palacios recogidas por las autoridades de la inquisición. Así se intenta percibir en qué medida los contactos transculturales favorecieron la transmisión de ideas asociadas a los objetos y como éstos se emplearon aparentemente con finalidades semejantes pero con un significado muy diferente. |
