Durante el carnaval se realizaban diversas performances de apropiación cultural, una de las más notables de las cuales fue la de los blancos que se disfrazaban de negros. Este trabajo apunta a emprender una indagación sobre el fenómeno de las comparsas de falsos negros, comenzando por la primera y más conocida, Los Negros. Sobre la base de un trabajo exhaustivo de fuentes primarias, revisaré sus rasgos principales y sus conexiones posibles con la cultura transnacional y avanzaré en un análisis de las performances que pusieron en juego en los carnavales.  O Carnaval de Buenos Aires do último terço do século XIX foi uma arena de negociação das diferenças étnico-raciais, em uma cidade que foi uma das mais multiétnicas e de população diversa do planeta. Durante o Carnaval ocorreram várias performances de apropriação cultural, sendo uma das mais notáveis a de brancos se disfarçando de negros. Este trabalho tem como objetivo realizar uma investigação sobre o fenômeno das trupes de falsos negros, começando pela primeira e mais conhecida, Los Negros. A partir de um exaustivo trabalho de fontes primárias, farei uma revisão de suas principais características e possíveis conexões com a cultura transnacional e avançarei na análise das performances que foram colocadas em jogo nos carnavais.  Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA 2021-09-24 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares application/pdf text/html http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/9795 10.34096/cas.i54.9795 Cuadernos de antropología social; Núm. 54 (2021) 1850-275X 0327-3776 spa http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/9795/9436 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/9795/9501 Derechos de autor 2021 Ezequiel Adamovsky https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0
