					View Vol. 2 No. 22 (2009): Los límites del texto sagrado

Associated with the religious experience, besides few exceptions, the feeling about the sacred has been a central and permanent factor in the organization of human life.  To date, the religious cultures have been the most interested on studying the sacred, but disciplines such as anthropology, philosophy and sociology have also been interested in explaining its nature.

How do we understand the term sacred and how is it possible to speak about objects, places, persons, symbols and, of course, sacred texts? By reformulating on these terms an already known problem, this issue aims to bring a semiotic reflection on the character of the sacred and its textual manifestation inside, and outside, the religious cultures.
