Abstract
"The Footfall of Words" enacts the problem of sensate and relational knowledge vis-�-vis fieldwork and deskwork. The bulk of the essay is a rhythmic evocation of the climactic procession performed annually in Tortugas, New Mexico, during the fiesta of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The rhythmic play disturbs the traditional ethnographic stance to engage somatic understanding, an epistemological mode on which the potency of the fiesta depends; on the other hand, theory interrupts the rhythmic seduction to call attention to the sensory and verbal, somatic, and symbolic interplays involved.
