AVENBURG, Karen  y  MARTINEZ, Bárbara. Experiencias e interpretaciones en performances rituales: (Iruya y El Cajón, noroeste argentino). Cuad. antropol. soc. [online]. 2014, n.39, pp.115-147. ISSN 1850-275X.

This article aims at reflecting about the way in which two ritual performances from Argentinean Northwest recreate, through dramatization, different experiences. Using an ethnographic approach based on both authors'fieldwork, we comparatively analyze Iruya's Virgen del Rosario Fiesta (Salta) with El Cajón's wholly week (Catamarca). In particular, we discuss the reasons why in one ritual context the dramatization implies recreating their socio-cultural and political history, while in the other one the central axis works re-actualizing cosmological events. Following Edward Brunner and Victor Turner our theoretical framework is based on the concept of performance and its relationship with experience.
