Popis: The text describes and analyzes the Totonac people’s rituals where fowl come into play. It is shown the importance of their life cycle for the different culinary uses according to their stages of development, in other words, from the egg to the chicken or rooster. This analysis is based on an organizing principle which is fundamental to the religious life of this group: the tension between fraction and wholeness.
