| Summary: | This article offers an analysis of civil festivals in the urban areas of the Chaco frontier in the 18th century and identifies the forms of native participation, as well as their limitations. In the Hispanic spheres, festivals were conceived as moments of collective joy with a profound respect of the social, urban and political orders. This model differed deeply from the widespread idea that indigenous festivities were mere expressions of collective drunkenness contrary to any social or moral order, and thus should be either eradicated or domesticated. This article will show that the Chaco southern frontiers were areas of intense cross-cultural exchanges where native appropriations and reinterpretations of Hispanic festive practices produced new meanings. |
