Abstract
Departing from the way the tocañeros order the world in common, this work pretends to elaborate on the (meta)physical territories dwelled by those who belong to the Afrobolivian Community of Tocaña. The ideas presented here are the product of my coexistence, and learning process undertook, with the Tocañeros during the years 2015 and 2016. Focusing on an ethnographic event that occurred in July 2015, the ideas embodied here revolve around the complex concept of Pacha that the tocañeros keep on (re)elaborating at all times. With the aim of bringing the reader closer to the tocañeros’ perception of Pacha, I have tried to generate dialogues between concepts taken from two ontological proposals that, in my view, share in their depths some metaphysical precepts: the tocañeros’ ontology and whiteheadian ontology.
