This article presents aspects of everyday life in the Arturos’ Community, which have been revealed in cultural experiences. Between 2011 and 2012, we conducted an ethnographic study in order to delve in their festive practices. We chose participant observation using field books as well as informal and semi-structured interviews. The responses gained significance and visibility not only in individual subjects or in a static structure of determinant signs of social life organization. Rather, our analytical focus was on the “Festival of Our Lady of the Rosary”. Becoming an Arturo turned out to be part of practical learning systematically influenced by daily actions in which doing/learning involve power relationships, agreements, negotiations and conflicts inherent to social life. This study helped us to expand our focus of understanding about school, displacing us towards relationship contexts that reveal different kinds of social life organization.Downloads
