Święci Patroni, prestiż i władza w organizacji fiest w Dolinach Centralnych Oaxaca (Meksyk)

Abstract

Basing on local ethnographic research, the article touches on organisational hinterland of patron feasts in Oaxaca Central Valleys (South Mexico) in three local communities. In these communities, the cult of Saints not only is very important in religious life, but also plays an important social and political role. The author interprets relations between organisers of feasts and Saint Patrons after the miracule sensitivity concept, analyses organisation of feasts in the context of prestige, authority, self‑agency and gender, and points at social changes which can be examined on the above basis. Finally, she reflects on catholic and non‑catholic critique of feasts based on the attitude to Saint Patrons.
