Sumario:TRANSNATIONAL MIGRATION, RELIGIOUS FESTIVITIES AND FIELD OF POWER: TWO THEORETICAL SKETCHES FOR ANALYSIS. The aim of this work is to analyze the religious festivities where immigrants (national and international), natives, religious cargo systems, among others, participate as a field of power in which there is political, social, and economical conflict among the diverse social agents. Immigrants and other social actors have fights or struggles every holy day to transform their structure, to dominate the field, to get profits (symbolic, political and social capital) and to negotiate their local membership within their original community. In order to explain it, this work utilizes the transnational migration theory, the current political anthropological approach as well as the theory of practice of Pierre Bourdieu. Furthermore, it proposes a second interpretation in regards to religious holidays by employing symbolic processualism and anthropology of religion.
