Memory, space and religion. The sacredness of the domestic interior architecture in a neighborhood of Aguascalientes, Mexico
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 6
Abstract
The article discusses the relationship between religiosity and domestic spaces in the traditional neighborhood of San Marcos in Aguascalientes, Mexico, from the memories that some of its inhabitants have of the period 1926-1960. On what way religion affects the configuration of the interior? And, how it affects to daily people lives and their experience of living? Particularly because of the development of two events that influenced its inhabitants with regards the interior configuration of their houses: the Cristero movement and the establishment of the Order of Discalced Carmelitein San Marcos Temple. This neighborhood is an ideal laboratory to study the Catholicism in Aguascalientes: San Marcos Temple was also selected for the failed establishment of the Mexican Catholic Church,as part of President Plutarco Elias Calles' plans to erect, in 1925, a Nationalist Church; a process that unleashed much popular reaction and so on the ecclesiastical hierarchy, which led to religious persecution and configuration of devout demonstrations in domestic interiors.
