Voces de Carnaval: Ritualidad Festiva, Resignificación Cultural Y Mercantilismo. (Coordinación)

Voices of Carnival: festive ritual, cultural resignification and commercialism, arises from the interest in sharing experiences of festive ritual in various latitudes, especially Latin America, to generate new senses of cultural encounter. This plural space, motivated by the Colombia Festiva Network together with the Institute of Studies in Communication and Culture of the National University of Colombia, Bogotá headquarters, several public universities, the Salesian Polytechnic University of Quito, through the Anthropology career, the group research project Philosophy of Education GIFE and the Abya-Yala publishing house, opened the door to this polyphony of analytical and critical reflections that are decanted in this book. The reader will find diverse thoughts that recreate the party from individual and collective bodies and their ways of understanding and feeling the inherited ritual, but at the same time mediated by the emerging needs to relate and participate in the enjoyment of freedom as the main disinhibitor of social groups that claim their right to express what is limited to them, through the forms prohibited outside the ceremonial sphere.
