Abstract
The present study explores the way in which the greater festival of La Rioja, Argentina, known as Tinkunaco or Encuentro, was ritually structured over time. This ceremony, apparently unchanged for 400 years, has however varied the organization of its rituality in different ways, with differences in the level of prominence of the elites and the popular sectors, understanding these as social subjects but that have in common a place of subordination in the economic, social or political relationship. The article makes an interpretation of the changes through the analysis of the objectives of the hegemonic power of each historical moment, and how these influenced its forms of expression from the colonial period to the present.
