Abstract
El objetivo de la investigación fue descubrir el significado y la transformación que
tienen las máscaras y los trajes de La Diablada de Puno para sus artesanos, danzantes y
pobladores. Para esto se emplearon técnicas etnográficas como asistir a la Octava de la
Fiesta de la Candelaria de Puno (2018), a los talleres de Puno que confeccionan máscaras
y trajes, y a un espectáculo de la Asociación Cultural Brisas del Titicaca. Del mismo
modo, se entrevistó a danzantes, artesanos, pobladores y especialistas puneños en el tema.
Además, se empleó el método visual para registrar y recopilar fotografías y videos de las
máscaras y los trajes de esta danza y complementar el análisis realizado. Los resultados
de la presente investigación mostraron que desde la perspectiva de la población estudiada,
los personajes de La Diablada representan el bien y el mal (ángel y diablo); en cuanto a
las máscaras, estas representan diversos elementos de la cosmovisión andina y la religión
católica; y con respecto a los trajes, los elementos que los componen también tienen
significados religiosos, y una gran influencia de la cultura oriental y la cultura Tiahuanaco.
Finalmente, en cuanto a las transformaciones de las máscaras y los trajes, las principales
variaciones han sido el cambio de materiales y el aumento de detalles y adornos; sin
embargo, los entrevistados no reportan que se haya generado un cambio de significados
en las máscaras y los trajes de la danza. En conclusión, el estudio muestra que la
autenticidad de la tradición es una invención de discursos que varían y se construyen a lo
largo del tiempo.
The objective of the research was to discover the meaning and transformation of the masks and costumes of the Puno’s Diablada for its artisans, dancers and residents. For this, ethnographic techniques were used, such as: attending the Octave of the Candelaria Festival of Puno (2018), the Puno’s workshops where make masks and costumes, and a show held by the Brisas del Titicaca Cultural Association. In the same way, it interviewed to Puno’s dancers, artisans, residents and specialists in the subject. In addition, the visual method was used to record and compile photographs and videos of the masks and costumes of this dance and complement the analysis made. The results of the present investigation showed that, from the perspective of the population studied, the characters of La Diablada represent the good and the evil (Angel and Devil); as for the masks, they represent different elements of the Andean cosmovision and the Catholic religion; and with respect to the costumes, the elements that compose them also have religious meanings, and a great influence of the oriental culture and the Tiahuanaco culture. Finally, regarding the transformations of the masks and costumes, the main variations have been, the change of materials and the increase of details and ornaments; however, the interviewees do not report that it has generated a change of meanings in the masks and costumes of the dance. In conclusion, the study shows that the authenticity of tradition is an invention of discourses that vary and are built over time.
