Abstract
Within the material culture of La Palma, the Virgin of the Snows is an object with agency as well as an identity device, capable of mobilizing, through emotional heritage, transcultural social relations. These qualities are what allow him to increase her capacity to produce meanings, feelings and identity. Throughout this article, the emotional heritage is related to the politics of affection and the performative power of the objects and images that represent the Virgin of the Snows inside and outside the island, describing heterogeneous itineraries, and her role as mediator in the construction of collective memories. The image of the Virgin, as a visual artifact, operates in a context of embodied practices that can be defined as an aesthetic-sensory commitment.
