In this sense, it is a delicate terrain, located at the intersection of science, religion, and politics. I have entered this field of study after years of practicing conservation and management of archaeological sites. For two years I was part of Teotihuacan's managment team, acting as the technical sub-director. I was in charge of all academic actvities associated with the site. During this period, I was closely involved with cultural movements articulating new forms of spirituality. After these experiences I decided to pursue a PhD at the Univeristy of Texas at Austin, devoted to the study of intangible heritage. My proposal stems from these studies.
