Abstract
En el siglo XIX se desarrolla en La Paz un particular combate a pedradas entre dos bandos de jóvenes varones al norte de la ciudad. Se convierte en una tradición ampliamente practicada, tolerada y delimitada, que canaliza la violencia colectiva de una manera controlada. La popularidad de la tauromaquia, la escolarización masiva en La Paz y el crecimiento de la ciudad llevan a la desaparición de esta violenta práctica lúdica, que ha dejado una inesperada huella en el carnaval contemporáneo.
In the 19th century took place in La Paz a peculiar stone-throwing fight between two youth gangs in the north of the city. It became a broadly practiced tradition, tolerated and limited to some places and people that helped to channel collective violence. Popularity of bullfighting, massive schooling in La Paz and the growth of the city brought to the disappearance of this violent recreational practice that has left unexpected traces in the contemporary carnival.
