ARIAS, Patricia. La fiesta patronal en transformación: significados y tensiones en las regiones migratorias. Migr. desarro [online]. 2011, vol.9, n.16, pp.147-180. ISSN 1870-7599.

This article argues that the festivities have been severely impacted by the migration and, above all, the transformation of migration patterns; transformation that has changed the traditional arenas of rural organized life, until a few years ago, by the return of migrants. This work also suggests that the festivities are now dependent on one hand, the sense, or loss of consciousness, which represents the event for migrants, but also for their descendants, many of them born and raised in the di-aspora, on the other hand, the capacity of communities to maintain the validity of Community commitments of migrants which are reflected in the celebrations. This represents a big change from traditional ways of understanding the religious festivities.

Palabras llave : international migration; religious festivities; changes; rural and indigenous societies.
