| description | On its way to liberalism and, above all, in relation to the difficulties that characterized this moment, the 19th century was fundamental in the configuration of the societies of Mexican cities and, in particular, of peripheral neighborhoods. This process is discussed in this article from a phenomenological and hermeneutic position and with ethnographic and historiographic tools. It considers the cases of the vice-royal neighborhoods of Analco and La Luz in the baroque city of Puebla. Historical factors are described that shaped its processes during a public health emergency. It is shown that the everyday life of its inhabitants had a dual character, mediated by religiosity and science. Thus, the streets functioned and still do function as the neighborhood center, the symbolic site of this syncretism and the site for neighborhood tactics in the protective search for a sense of identity. Also, the eventual and the permanent are found in the streets, where space becomes where one is and lives, as the symbol of attachment and belonging. The relevance of the text lies in the fact that it offers a privileged testimonial position for understanding what was done and what was understood during a disruptive event like COVID-19 from a social and collective lens. In addition, this text contributes to documenting the origin of new elements that add to existing immaterial heritage. |

Por el tránsito al liberalismo, pero sobre todo por la actuación ante las calamidades que caracterizaron al siglo XIX, este resultó determinante en la configuración de las sociedades de las urbes mexicanas y en particular de sus barrios periféricos. Desde una postura fenomenológica-hermenéutica, y con herramientas tanto etnográficas como historiográficas, en este artículo se discute sobre ello. Tomando como referentes los barrios virreinales de Analco y La Luz, en la barroca ciudad de Puebla, se descubre los elementos históricos que condicionan su proceder ante una emergencia sanitaria. Se muestra también que la cotidianidad de sus habitantes tuvo un carácter dual, puesto que estaba mediada por la religiosidad y la ciencia. Así, la calle funcionaba y funciona como centralidad barrial, lugar simbólico de este sincretismo y sitio para las tácticas vecinales en la búsqueda protectora de su sentido identitario. También en la calle se encuentran lo eventual y lo permanente; deviene espacio donde se es y se habita, símbolo del arraigo y la pertenencia. La relevancia del texto estriba en que se está ante la inmejorable posición testimonial para comprender lo que se realizó y lo que significó, desde la óptica social o colectiva, un evento disruptivo como la covid-19; asimismo, este texto contribuye a documentar el origen de nuevos elementos que se suman al patrimonio inmaterial existente. Pela transição para o liberalismo, mas sobretudo pela atuação perante as calamidades que caracterizaram o século XIX, esta foi decisiva na configuração das sociedades das cidades mexicanas e em particular dos seus bairros periféricos. A partir de uma posição fenomenológico-hermenêutica, e com ferramentas tanto etnográficas quanto historiográficas, este artigo discute sobre isso. Tomando como referência os bairros vice-reais de Analco e La Luz, na cidade barroca de Puebla, descobrem-se os elementos históricos que condicionam seu comportamento diante de uma emergência sanitária. Mostra também que o cotidiano de seus habitantes tinha um caráter dual, pois era mediado pela religião e pela ciência. Assim, a rua funcionou e funciona como centralidade do bairro, lugar simbólico desse sincretismo e lugar de táticas de vizinhança na busca protetora de seu sentido de identidade. Também na rua estão o eventual e o permanente, tornando-se um espaço onde se está e habita, um símbolo de raízes e pertença. A relevância do texto reside no fato de estar em uma posição testemunhal insuperável para entender o que foi feito e o que significou, do ponto de vista social ou coletivo, um evento disruptivo como a Covid-19. Da mesma forma, este texto contribui para documentar a origem de novos elementos que se agregam ao patrimônio imaterial existente.
