Abstract

MARTIN, Alicia. Traditionalization processes in Buenos Aires carnival. Cuad. Fac. Humanid. Cienc. Soc., Univ. Nac. Jujuy [online]. 2009, n.36, pp.21-39. ISSN 1668-8104.

In this paper we analyze the impact of carnival folk re-creation in Buenos Aires city, when new agents (local government, market, professional artists), traditionalized folk plays and contextualized them according with present times. At the very moment the practices of the old carnival groups, called murgas o centro-murgas, transformed their organizations forms, also was the aesthetics of carnival ways. The production and reproduction conditions of carnival feast and «murgas» were modified in the last 20 years by their inclusion in the public cultural policies agenda. These topics establish a social space in wich all involved agents contend their own traditions and projects.

Keywords : Carnival; Buenos Aires city; Murgas; Cultural policies; Tradicionalization.
