Resumen

Este estudio investiga la dinámica intergeneracional del Festival Yawa-Yawa en Ibajay, Aklan, Filipinas, explorando cómo el festival facilita la preservación colaborativa del patrimonio cultural y establece puntos entre las generaciones Baby Boomer y Millennials. Utilizando un abordaje etnográfico descriptivo cualitativo, fundamentado en una perspectiva fenomenológica, este estudio examina como experiencias vividas por 100 participantes de sexo masculino (n=50 Baby Boomers; n=50 Millennials) seleccionados por amostragem intencional. La triangulación de datos fue realizada por medio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, grupos focales, observación participante y análisis documental. Os datos textuais foram analisados ​​por meio de análise temática, complementados por contagens de frequência descritivas de códigos cualitativos de papel para mapear a distribuição comportamental. Los resultados revelan una división del trabajo cultural altamente cooperativa y no conflictiva. Los Baby Boomers actúan principalmente como historiadores orales (responsables por el 27,5% del total de expresiones culturales codificadas) y guardianes de rituales sagrados, ancorando la autenticidad histórica y los significados simbólicos y comunitarios de la tradición. En contrapartida, los Millennials predominan como innovadores estéticos (14,5%) y archivistas digitales (9,5%), expandiendo la visibilidad externa del festival por medio de mídias modernas y logística estructural. El Festival Yawa-Yawa sirve como un puente sociocultural vital, donde diferentes grupos se involucran en la enseñanza recíproca. Essa continuidade intergeneracional garantiza que el patrimonio imaterial local evoluciona de forma adaptativa, sin comprometer su integridad estructural y ritual.
