- Abstract
A historical-cultural study of the subaltern position occupied by street vendors between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, this article analyses the ambiguous meanings with which they were portrayed in different fields, and most particularly in literature, where they were associated with tricksters, charlatans, vagabonds, roguish stall-holders, miserable emigrants and ethnic-religious minorities. However, despite the stigma, their forms of expression and especially their street cries crystallized as a folkloric-literary genre, conjugating some of the elements of popular comic culture typical of the world of the town square, fairs and festivals.
