Thenit describes with an ethnographic extract some of the different practices in the celebrationof San Juan/Inti Raymi in Otavalo in the Ecuadorian Andes, with a textual constructionmade from a pragmatic perspective. Finally, the article develops four points that supportthe pragmatic and detailed description: action in the situation, intellectualism overcoming, the situational relations of power and the co-experience of readers.
