HIROSE, María Belén. Los certámenes de danza folklórica: Las formas estilizadas como estrategias de ritualizaciónFolkloric dance contests: Stylization as ritualization strategies. Cuad. Fac. Humanid. Cienc. Soc., Univ. Nac. Jujuy [online]. 2009, n.36, pp.55-65. ISSN 1668-8104.

In this work I describe and analyze Argentine folklore dance contests. By applying ritualization theory, I show how the deployed strategies constitute a hierarchical system. Participation in such a system is experienced by the dancers as redemptive hegemony. The data making methodology was that of the ethnographic fieldwork, which I intermittently made during two years.

Keywords : Folkloric dance; Stylization; Ritualization strategies.
