Sumario:In this paper I present a reflection on the relationships between corporality and narrative though an ethnographic example from Cusi Cusi (Rinconada, Jujuy). In order to do so, I contrast the traditional Andean catholic landscape logic and the evangelic landscape logic, to show that there are contradictions between incorporated habitus and narratives around the traditional concept of diseases based on landscape powers. Traditional Andean landscape is formed by places with agency that can make people that approach them without due precautions sick, while evangelic people deny being victims of such sickness. However, we were told cases of people that got sick and even died because of “dangerous places”. This example illustrates how relationships between body and narrative can be considered as two different analytical instances that allow us to appreciate diverse narratives about bodily logics related to material culture.
