PERASSI, Lucas Andrés. Criteria for distinction in jujenian folklore: Uses of category «festivalero». Cuad. Fac. Humanid. Cienc. Soc., Univ. Nac. Jujuy [online]. 2009, n.36, pp.41-53. ISSN 1668-8104.

Our research on jujenian musical folklore follows the Giddens's «double hermeneutic» notion (1987), which implies as task for scientific thought to interpret what has been interpreted by social actors. In this regard, a productive research on the folkloric field is to identify the categories from which subjects judged the musicians (soloists or groups), to establish their provenance, see if they show regularities in their users (socio-economic status, membership or not to folkloric field, gender, etc.) and, last but not least, whether use of that category in some sense has its counterpart in social action of subject. In this particular job, we analize uses of «festivalero» category, usually employed in folkloric music field, but not always to refer to same reality. From this analysis, we trying to emphasize the importance, for understanding social phenomena, of consideration of socio-cultural conditions where «festivalero» takes different meanings in discourses of different social sectors. We believe that in this way we can better apprehend the senses that in each case this category takes within the jujenian folkloric field.

Keywords : Festivalero; Folklore; Social distinction.
