In the frame of the ethnographic field works carried out during the summer of 2008, we had the opportunity to take part in the different events that shape the carnival that every year is feasted in the gorge of Pipintu Grande, Jujuy. Immersed in the festive climate of the carnival, trying to take the pulse of the rituals of the ‘entierro’ and the ‘desentierro’, so prolific of couplets of unusual ingenuity as in ‘ch’allas’ and ‘machas’, we began to think about the manners of articulation between the performatic genres, the identities and the processes of resistance, that are modulated around a tension between the perception of an agonistic development that threatens the interfamiliar union, threat represented in the politics, and the putting in act of ‘traditional’ symbolic elements, where the fear to the loss of the traditions and customs articulates the speeches that are unfold during the carnival. Desde hace algunos años, las reflexiones académicas que desde la Antropología se han desarrollado acerca de diversos eventos de la vida social, vienen enfatizando la dimensión performática de ciertos géneros dramáticos, como es el caso de los rituales y las fiestas. En el marco de los trabajos de campo etnográficos llevados a cabo durante el verano de 2008, tuvimos la oportunidad de participar en los distintos eventos que conforman el carnaval que todos los años se festeja en la quebrada de Pipintu Grande, Jujuy. Inmersos en el clima festivo del carnaval, intentando tomar el pulso de los rituales de desentierro y entierro, tan prolíficos en coplas de inusitado ingenio como en ch’allas y machas, comenzamos a reflexionar acerca de los modos de articulación entre los géneros performáticos, las identidades puestas en juego y los procesos de resistencia que se modulan en torno a una tensión entre la percepción de un devenir agonístico que amenaza la unión interfamiliar, amenaza representada en la política, y la puesta en acto de elementos simbólicos ‘tradicionales’, donde el miedo a la pérdida de las tradiciones y costumbres articulan los discursos que se despliegan durante el carnaval.
