Theoretically, we examine these festivals as expressions of cultural anthropophagy, framed as a decolonial practice, and as manifestations of neomedievalism. We hypothesize that the cavalhadas represent a redefinition of the Middle Ages within the Brazilian context, resulting in carnivalesque and hyperbolic cultural and religious expressions that should not be viewed merely as medieval heritage but rather as unique to Brazilian culture. Finally, it is shown how, in the case of the two religious festivals, the understanding of these cultural phenomena is only possible if their socio-cultural context is taken into account. Este artículo presenta un análisis comparativo entre las festividades de Santo Amaro de Campos, comarca del municipio de Campos dos Goytacazes, en el interior del estado de Río de Janeiro, y Pirenópolis, en el interior del estado de Goiás. Desde un punto de vista teórico, optamos por analizarlos como una manifestación de antropofagia cultural, entendida como una práctica decolonial y como una manifestación neomedieval. En este artículo defendemos la hipótesis de que estas cavalhadas son resultado de la forma en que se redefinió la Edad Media en Brasil, que dio lugar a manifestaciones culturales y religiosas carnavalizadas e hiperbolizadas, las cuales no pueden entenderse como una herencia medieval, sino como algo específico de la cultura brasileña. Finalmente, se demostrará cómo en los casos de las dos festividades sólo se puede lograr una comprensión de estos fenómenos culturales si se consideran sus contextos locales.
