| Sumario: | The article addresses the phenomenon of tourism in the city of Tilcara, Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina. Based on an ethnography carried out between 2017 and 2019, it offers a description and analysis of three profiles involved in the configuration of tourism, which are defined in terms of the predominant locus - neither “pure”, not “unique”- of agents and agencies: governmental, private and communal locus. The analysis unfolds a relational and symbolic view of tourism, understanding it as a social space of hierarchical intercultural relations, marked by cultural translations and disputes over knowledge, where pre-existing historical alterities are reworked. In this way, the article demonstrates that a series of agents -sometimes confronted, in collaboration or in contradiction, with heterogeneous positions and unequal powers- constitute tourism and configure the frontiers that dispute and define representations about the andean. |
