Meanings around the San Telmo fair practices and how they operate in the configuration of different groups Abstract. We conceive the practices of daily life in the city as communicative facts by understanding communication as a process of social production of meanings, as a dialogue from which struggles for meaning are fought. In this line, the present work tries to recognize the meanings around the San Telmo fair practices, city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and how they operate in the configuration of different groups. For that purpose, we position ourselves from a qualitative ethnographic methodological approach. Thus, we see that the composition of the groups is influenced by the conceptions of legality and illegality, the characteristics of the traders, their place of origin, their relationship with space, and how tensions and consensuses that interweave with and influence how others think are produced in a plot where the question of power is central.
