Abstract
This work seeks to know the process of identity definition of the Aiguá people (Uruguay) as an imagined community, during the Wild Boar Festival (an animal declared a national pest in Uruguay). There are several factors that operate in the construction of local identity: tradition, fighting the pest, belonging to a hilly environment where the boar inhabits, and the local solidarity. We put into dialogue the anthropological concepts of identity, community, and ritual, considering how the festival came to be consolidated as today. Finally, we invite to look at this type of celebrations as part of processes where the environmental, health, economic, identity and culture are in constant dialogue.
