Summary

Festive associationism in Valencia has a considerable vitality and magnitude. Starting from some punctual examples, the author tries to draw up a general explanatory model. The structure, evolution, operation and organisation of this association network and its function as the prompter of feelings of identity linked to territorial levels different from that in urban agglomerations. Festive associations of various types and degrees of formalisation are included, but all of them should be studied as expressions of society from the point of view of historical anthropology.
