La fiesta, ¿un espejo de la sociedad?. Una aproximación a las celebraciones vinculadas a la producción económica local (Ayacucho 1969-1979)

Abstract

This article proposes an approach, from the historical discipline, to the festivals linked to local economic activity that emerged from the sixties in the province of Buenos Aires. We understand that an analysis of them over time contributes to shedding light on the changes experienced by societies in rural Buenos Aires towards the end of the 20th century. To do this, we will make an approach to the first decade of celebration of the National Calf Festival and Yerra Day, which has been celebrated in the Ayacucho district since 1969. Through the analysis of the official festival program, we seek to account for the continuities and permanence that were registered in the event during its first years of celebration, understanding that they may be representative of the transformations that affected the society that was celebrating.
