Abstract

This article focuses on the clothing worn at the Diablada dances in Alto El Loa, located in the North of Chile. It highlights the importance of the materiality associated with clothing, considered as cultural goods and services that also expresses and codifies an elaborate semiological system in determinate contexts. This research was based on a qualitative ethnographic methodology, and collected photographs and videos that show the visuality of these ritual and festive contexts, especially the clothing used by the dancers, a constitutive element of la Diablada performance.
