GUZMAN, Juan Armando. Methodological delimitings of the cultural performances: On the case of el Señor de Quillacas. Cuad. Fac. Humanid. Cienc. Soc., Univ. Nac. Jujuy [online]. 2009, n.36, pp.91-106. ISSN 1668-8104.

This paper tries to approach to the religious festivity in Señor de Quillacas´s honor, in San Salvador de Jujuy. The religious performance that will be present, is a celebration to an Oruro's Saint, Oruro is a place in Bolivia, where the Saint is honored, approximately, since two centuries ago. And in the city of San Salvador de Jujuy, the Señor de Quillacas´s image is honored since 1922. We think that is importante to present this celebration because it reveals us how the members of the faith group show their culture and identity in a context that, in occasions, proves to be adverse to some inmigrants manifestations from bolivia. By the way the religious celebration puts in evidence how a symbolic form talks us about the faith´s group relations with the context in certain moment of a certain society. As theoretical / methodological tool of analysis we resort to the Performance, this one is habitually used in the study of verbal manifestations, though it possesses different meanings that includes little marked instances, as a spontaneously story narrated in a conversation, up to others forms with high degree of planning as the public rituals. Those public rituals will be called cultural performances.
