Edison Raúl Lomas Badillo — 2025-04-30

Introduction: The transformations that Salasaka traditional clothing exhibits today constitute an object of analysis from different theoretical perspectives that highlight it as a form of resistance and cultural identity. Other analysts defend the idea of transculturation. From a sociological and ethnographic position, this research is conducted, which aims to offer a particular view that integrates both visions. Objectives: The study is oriented towards a) Identifying the main symbolic elements of Salasaka clothing and their meaning within the community and b) Examining recent changes in the use of traditional clothing and the factors that have influenced its transformation. Methodology: A non-experimental, descriptive research project was conducted using a qualitative approach. In-depth, unstructured interviews were conducted with four community representatives and leaders. Participatory observation and visual analysis of traditional attire were also used. Results: The Salasaka traditional clothing constitutes an identity expression of the community, it includes its own symbols and traditions while maintaining immobile customs associated with its preparation and elaboration. The transformations regarding the decrease in its use and the pieces that comprise it are associated with a process of transculturation. Conclusions: Traditional Salasaka clothing is an expression of transculturation that incorporates modern trends without denying original traditions and beliefs. General study area: Communication.
