REYES DOMINGUEZ, Guadalupe. Children, patron saint festivals and local identity. Revista Col. San Luis [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.19, pp.325-350. Epub 19-Nov-2020. ISSN 2007-8846. https://doi.org/10.21696/rcsl9192019952.
The objective of this article is to analyze children's participation in the patron saint's festivals of Yucatan, Mexico, and to show the importance of this participation in the construction of children's identity. The ethnographic research carried out to achieve this objective was oriented towards capturing children's voices in everyday and festive contexts through dialogue and coexistence. Despite the fact that the article does not delve into a particular patron saint's festival, it gives an account of children's appropriation of this type of celebrations and makes visible the children's forms of consumption, interpretation and appropriation of heritage, which have been neglected in previous studies on the subject. Thus, it is concluded that, in playful spaces, children resignify the festive heritage and fill it with feelings and emotions, thus reinforcing their community identity.
