Abstract
En este artículo intentamos ensayar una perspectiva comparativa sobre la fiesta de los quintos en dos municipios distintos, uno en España y otro en Portugal. Para ello analizamos en primer lugar las formas en que se desarrolla la fiesta en ambos casos, señalando las coincidencias y diferencias que existen en la propia celebración. A partir de aquí se desarrolla el análisis comparativo, para el que se introduce una doble perspectiva: el pueblo y la villa como escenarios de la convivencia, y la fiesta como frontera en un sentido espacial y también temporal. Por último, se exponen algunas conclusiones sobre lo que se revela en la comparación.
This article seeks to develop a comparative perspective on the «fiesta de los quintos» in two Portuguese and Spanish towns («quintos» were the young men who were legally obliged to serve the Army for several months). First we analyse the ways in which the fiesta is celebrated in each case pointing out similarities and differences between them. Then we develop a comparative analysis introducing a double perspective: the town and village as the stage for relationships, and the fiesta as boundary, in a spatial and temporal sense. Finally some conclusions are offered on what is revealed by this comparison.
