SOLIS, Neyra Patricia Alvarado. The spectacle of ludar “gypsy” children of Mexico. A question of heritage?. Desidades [online]. 2020, n.28, pp. 84-94. ISSN 2318-9282.

ABSTRACT Heritage, in anthropology, allows an approach from a different perspective when it concerns the point of view of children, since this topic was originally implemented by adults and for adults. This perspective introduces the transmission, transformation, creativity and innovation implemented by ludar children (“gypsies”), to their acts in the spectacle. These acts are part of the trades practiced by the ludar as street carnivals, along with commerce activities by which they merged into Mexico's society, by the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Hence, this is a paper about the heritage of ludar children and adults: the spectacle. An approach to its composition and repetition in a constant and changing staging, and questioning the idea of patrimonialization, in view of the dynamism and combinations of elements that make up its numbers. The aim of this text is to explore these ideas.

Palavras-chave : spectacle; heritage; children; ludar (“gypsies”); Mexico.
