ADAMOVSKY, Ezequiel. Comparsas y agrupaciones de negros o africanizantes en el carnaval de Buenos Aires, 1865-1922: Un relevamiento crítico. Av. Cesor [online]. 2021, vol.18, n.25, pp.1-2. ISSN 1514-3899. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.35305/ac.v18i25.1528.
This article presents a critical inventory of the totality of carnival ensembles of Afroargentines and of white people parading in blackface (or imitating afro descendants in any other way) that featured at the Buenos Aires carnival between 1865 and 1922. The database consists of 243 ensembles, which allows for the first time to appreciate the extraordinary magnitude of performances of blackness in the old porteño carnivals. The ensembles are listed with their names and years of existence, classified by ethnicity and with graphs and tables that show their evolution over time. In the end, this article proposes statistical exercises to remedy archival omissions and biases, so as to arrive to a more complete picture of the magnitude and evolution of the ensembles of each ethnic type.
