Abstract

This research addressed the topic of semiotic analysis of characters in the festival of the Passing of the Child, at José Emilio Álvarez School of the rural community of Chambapongo-Cotopaxi. Being one of the biggest festivities in the community, we sought to identify the perception of the community members according to their ages, in order to identify the age change in the conception of the characters. The objective of our research was to analyze the importance that the community gives to this festivity. A methodology with a qualitative approach was proposed, with a descriptive scope and phenomenological design. According to the analysis carried out, it is concluded that: colors, materials, dances, among other physical and symbolic components, are due to an alloy of concepts adapted to the community's own context.
