Abstract

The article shows the process, seen as a social drama, through which the authorities intervened in the celebrations of the San Mateo neighborhood, and its subsequent political use. In addition, it presents the current development of the procession with which the beginning of the Chilpancingo Fair is announced, the fair is called Paseo del Pendón, which is seen as a public ritual. The participation of the political actors and that of the neighbors from traditional barrios is analyzed, by means of the examination of the spaces and the symbols that represent them.
