| description | The article explores the meaning and the relations of prestige in Borá, in the interior of the state of São Paulo, based on the ethnography of the Santo Antonio feast, a patron saint honored since the beginning of the settlement by the pioneer families. The descendants of these pioneers are protagonists in the organization of the feast and are proud of the tradition of preparing the leitoas (litter ewe lambs) and of the prestige that attracts the local elites. If the "rich" are interested in the auctions, the poor and the arrastados (native category applied to the sugarcane mill workers) want to try their "luck" in the drawing of the lasses (or hope that luck "finds" them), "enjoy the party", meet women and appreciate the "movement" in the small town. Considering the role of "party-goer", the valorization of skills and techniques in the art of preparing the suckling pigs, the markers of class and leisure experiences, we try to think about the several social arts and their plots in the world of parties. |

El artículo explora los significados y las relaciones de prestigio en Borá, en el interior del estado de São Paulo, a partir de la etnografía de la fiesta de Santo Antônio, patrón honrado desde el inicio del asentamiento por las familias pioneras. Los descendientes de estos pioneros son protagonistas en la organización de la fiesta y se enorgullecen de la tradición de la preparación de las leitoas y del prestigio que atrae a las élites locales. Si los "ricos" se interesan por las subastas, los pobres y los arrastados (categoría autóctona aplicada a los trabajadores de los ingenios de caña de azúcar) quieren probar "suerte" en el sorteo de las leitoas (o esperar a que la suerte los "encuentre"), "disfrutar de la fiesta", conocer mujeres y apreciar el "movimiento" de la pequeña ciudad. Teniendo en cuenta el papel de "fiestero", la valorización de las habilidades y técnicas en el arte de preparar el ordeño, los marcadores de clase y las experiencias de ocio, buscamos pensar en las diversas artes sociales y sus tramas en el mundo de las fiestas. O artigo explora os sentidos e as relações de prestígio em Borá, interior do Estado de São Paulo, a partir da etnografia realizada na festa de Santo Antônio, santo padroeiro homenageado desde o início do povoamento pelas famílias pioneiras. Os descendentes desses pioneiros são protagonistas na organização da festa e se orgulham da tradição do preparo das leitoas e do prestígio que atrai as elites locais. Se os “ricos” se interessam pelos leilões, os pobres e os arrastados (categoria nativa aplicada aos trabalhadores da usina de cana-de-açúcar) querem tentar a “sorte” no sorteio das leitoas (ou esperar que a sorte os “encontrem”), “curtir a festa”, conhecer mulheres e apreciar o “movimento” na pequena cidade. Considerando o papel de “festeiro”, a valorização das habilidades e técnicas na arte do preparo das leitoas, os marcadores de classe e experiências de lazer, busca-se pensar as diversas artes sociais e suas tramas no mundo das festas.
