Feminidades y Masculinidades en la Fiesta de Moros y Cristianos de Alcoi

In the present paper, feminist ethnography was used as investigation methodology to analyze different gender models for the alcoian society, with special emphasis on their position within the prestige and power pyramid of the Moors and Christian Festivity. This analysis improves on the existing knowledge of the reasons for the social conflict in which the alcoian society has been immersed during the last thirteen years when Nuria Martínez became the first woman with rights in the up-to then masculine alcoian rite.
