Continental Symbolic-Geographic Itineraries

2025-02-26T14:55:35+00:00

This article presents an interpretive analysis of uses of Amerindian ideographs in the public space of the Güemes neighborhood of the city of Córdoba, during 2015 to 2019, considering its specific context of public circulation. It seeks to visualize emergencies in terms of imaginaries, of itineraries related to processes of long historical projection. At the same time, it reflects on symbolic geographical itineraries of continental projection evoked in said cultural setting. Specifically, visual components of Mexican, Mesoamerican and North American origin are analyzed in the cases of images presented, to understand the poetic, symbolic and political discursives that they seek to promote. Finally, the circulation routes that encourage the entry of said visualities and enable aesthetic experiences between dissimilar cultural contexts are indicated.

interested Practices in Art-Science:

2025-02-26T15:15:45+00:00

This paper focuses on the question of interest within scientific-aesthetic practices, based on the work of the artist and biologist Luciana Paoletti. Modernity understands this as a kind of subjective contamination, which undermines the objectivity of the object of study. Its challenge not only made invisible the exploratory and affective character under which science is developed, but at the same time found in the aesthetic discipline a correlate capable of reinforcing the production of a representative, free, proprietary and autonomous subject. However, posthumanism and new materialisms provide us with new conceptual tools to address the interested forms of art and science.

Young People and Rock in The Democratic Transition: Montevideo (1980-1989)

2025-02-26T15:36:59+00:00

This article focus on highlighting some fundamental aspects that influenced popular music produced in Montevideo by the emerging generation during the last democratic transition (1980-1989), specifically the young people who chose to express themselves through rock. Groups of young people emerged seeking to exercise the freedom regained through democracy, which was limited by raids, detentions, and repression. The songs of the new generation express differences from the preceding generation that arose in a dictatorial context. From a cultural studies perspective, the aim is to incorporate knowledge from various disciplines and transcend academic boundaries, establishing a dialectical process with the universe under investigation and its sources.

Insurrection and Affirmativeness of Musicking

2025-02-26T15:44:40+00:00

This paper aims to reconsider the links between music and politics, and their value for the current production of musical history, based on the analysis of paradigmatic cases of music-making and musicology that reveals a political dimension of music in terms of affirmative culture (Marcuse, 1967) or insurrection (Quintero Rivera, 2020). By suspending the affirmative spell of hegemonic musicology and its reduction of musicking into writing; and considering the sound forms of Global South and the Subaltern Popular World, we will find that all musical production throughout history contains a deep dimension of political actions and interests. Rituals on sound of affirmative culture and insurrection.

audio Perspectives of Deep Mexico

2025-02-26T15:56:07+00:00

The political dimension of musical practices is an essential field of reflection and discussion within and beyond the academy, an issue that cannot be postponed in the field of music and arts education. This requires a broad interdisciplinary horizon that allows us to delve into the different levels of articulation of these musical practices. The present text flourishes with the interest of underlining the relevance of the political space of the auditory dimension, as a significant part of any musical practice, in the transformation of society and the world. In this case, the auditory perspectives of deep Mexico are approached with the aim of showing how, through the sonic dimension and listening itself, continuity and presence are given to the matrix cultures of Mexico, strongly linked to the environments of life.

Escuchar la guerra del Chaco Boreal

2025-03-07T14:12:10+00:00

Listen to the Chaco Boreal war In this text we expose the research results of the multidimensional analysis on the musical practices and sonorities from the Chaco Boreal war. The Chaco Boreal war encompasses the intersection between the transnational media system and the technological armament of the 1930s. Those sounds were opposed to the cultural societies who inhabited the Chaco Boreal region: indigenous, colonies and forest workers. The analysis units are the musical practices and the war sounds. We use the dialectic of the narrative processes in complex systems, the sound archeology and the recent history —oral testimony, photography and audiovisual source— as theory tools. The results include organological descriptive indices and direct reference.
