| description | Patronal celebrations are, par excellence, an artifact of memory. In the case of Tesistán, located along the rural-urban strip of Guadalajara, Mexico, three fundamental characteristics are noteworthy: First, the conservation of events have forged local identities; second, the fact that in celebration a juxtaposition is shown between rural and urban forms of life; third, the celebration expresses, above all, different modes of containment and resistance with regards to policies of urban expansion in the city of Guadalajara. The objective of this article is to analyze the mechanisms of collective memory, materialized in the patronal celebration dedicated to San Francisco de Asís, in relation with the tensions that the process of urbanization generates among those who inhabit Tesistán. Through ethnography, semi-structured interviews were conducted with actors and political figures of the locality who represent the organizing groups of the patronal festivities. As a main finding, it can be highlighted that, considering the celebration as an artifact of memory, one can better understand socio-territorial conflicts, the loss of community cohesion, the disassociation of the past, and the social dissolution caused by the transformation of the built space. |

Las fiestas patronales son, por excelencia, un artefacto de la memoria. En el caso de Tesistán, en la franja rural-urbana de Guadalajara, México, llaman la atención tres características fundamentales: en primer lugar, la conservación de los acontecimientos que han forjado las identidades locales; en segundo lugar, el hecho de que con la fiesta se expone una yuxtaposición entre las formas de vida rurales y urbanas; en tercer lugar, que la celebración expresa sobremanera los diferentes modos de contención y resistencia ante las políticas de expansión urbana de la ciudad de Guadalajara. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar los mecanismos de la memoria colectiva, materializados en la fiesta patronal dedicada a San Francisco de Asís, en relación con las tensiones que el proceso de urbanización genera en quienes habitan Tesistán. Desde un paradigma etnográfico, se aplicaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a actores y figuras políticas de la localidad que representan a los grupos organizadores de las festividades patronales. Como principal hallazgo se puede señalar que, al considerar la fiesta un artefacto de la memoria, se logra profundizar en los conflictos socioterritoriales, la pérdida de la cohesión comunitaria, la desvinculación con el pasado y el desapego social por la transformación del espacio construido. As festas do padroeiro são, por excelência, um artefato da memória. No caso de Tesistán, na periferia rural-urbana de Guadalajara, no México, três características fundamentais chamam a atenção: primeiro, a preservação dos acontecimentos que forjaram as identidades locais; em segundo lugar, o facto de o festival expor uma justaposição entre os modos de vida rural e urbano; em terceiro lugar, que a celebração expressa em grande medida os diferentes modos de contenção e resistência às políticas de expansão urbana da cidade de Guadalajara. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os mecanismos de memória coletiva, materializados na festa do padroeiro dedicada a São Francisco de Assis, em relação às tensões que o processo de urbanização gera naqueles que habitam Tesistán. A partir de um paradigma etnográfico, foram aplicadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas a atores locais e figuras políticas que representam os grupos organizadores das festas da padroeira. Como principal achado, pode-se apontar que, ao considerar a festa um artefato de memória, é possível mergulhar nos conflitos socioterritoriais, na perda de coesão comunitária, no distanciamento com o passado e no distanciamento social devido à transformação do espaço construído.
