Resumen
MARTINEZ, Bárbara. The Juego de los Carozos in El Cajón (Catamarca, Argentina): Ritual, Memory and Ancestors. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2014, vol.50, n.1, pp.101-116. ISSN 0486-6525.
In this article I explore how, in El Cajón (Catamarca, Argentina), the juego de los carozos turns into a ritual that organizes the relationships between the living and the dead, and supports the genealogical local memory. The game’s aim is to identify each dead person inside a wider family network. Throughout the memory and the registration, people from El Cajón distinguish their lineal and collateral relatives, and determines the permitted and forbidden marriage alliances.
Palabras clave : ritual; ancestors; El Cajón; genealogical memory.
