@article{3986, author = {Juan Rojas}, title = {Fiestas trashumantes: liderazgos comunitarios y fiestas patronales afrocolombianas del pacífico en Bogotá}, abstract = {What I call “fiestas trashumantes” (“migrant festivals”) are patron-saint celebrations from the Afro-Colombian Pacific Coast that have been celebrated in Bogotá for the last thirty years. I analyze, from an ethnographic approach, the Virgen de Atocha and the San Pacho migrant festivals in Bogotá. I purport that these celebrations strengthen lived and imagined bonds to ancestral traditions from the Pacific region in Colombia. At the same time, these festivals invite local and city-wide organization processes and ethnic and cultural participation for Afro-Colombians who live in Bogota. Sponsored by local policies and developed in multicultural scenarios, the musical and religious performances that take place during these festivals weave a sense of community and identity-building. Finally, they also serve as a form of State-sponsored, multicultural spectacle.}, year = {2020}, journal = {Maguaré}, volume = {34}, number = {1}, pages = {75-110}, issn = {0120-3045}, url = {https://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/extart?codigo=8081847}, doi = {10.15446/mag.v34n1.90389}, language = {Español}, }
