Long Abstract
:

In this paper we propose to review the importance of thinking about the future from the contents and meanings offered by the messianic idea. Especially the notion of realization that is present in collective rituals and is materialized through offering. We discuss how the conception of the cyclical time proper to peasant communities has been combined and, in recent times, has been displaced by the messianic idea that offers a hopeful vision of the future more in line with contemporary living conditions. In its external manifestations the rituals Comuntarios, samples elements coming from very dstasintas cultural traditions, which have been interpreted as manifestations of change and loss of content. However, what sustains the processes of change is precisely a set of principles and values, some of pre-Hispanic origin, orthos coming from Christian messianism and others more from the same Western modernity. Among these are the same commonality, the search for fulfillment and recognition, but also the very expressions of individual subjects.
