Colonialidad y dinámica festiva: Legitimación de la modernidad/colonialidad en el carnaval de Oruro
Abstract
El artículo muestra tres modos de aproximación a la dinámica festiva de Oruro y a la fiesta/ritual: la demonización, la mercantilización y la patrimonialización. Estos son explicados a partir de la instauración de la dominación colonial en los Andes y su posterior despliegue en la república, haciendo énfasis en el siglo XX. Además se intenta poner en evidencia su vaciamiento epistémico, a través de la transformación de ciertas prácticas festivo/rituales en el carnaval

It also attempts to provide evidence of how some of the carnival's festival/ritual practices have been transformed and their epistemic content lost
