The constitutional formalization of the autonomy of indigenous peoples and communities in Mexico has generated new signification processes that require a broader understanding than the legal one. Therefore, there is a need to incorporate the anthropological, sociological and cultural dimension to the theory of law to understand contemporary plurilegality. This essay argues the importance of adopting the concept of “transculturation” for field of legal discipline. It is a category of analysis that originated in Latin American anthropology and later underwent a fundamental development by literary criticism and Latin American cultural studies. In this sense, the concept of “legal transculturation” is proposed in two dimensions: indigenous (subaltern) and state (hegemonic), as well as the conceptual relationship between that concept and analytical categories such as “interlegality”, “legal diaspora” and “third space”.
