Music and Youth Culture in Latin America
Music is one of the most distinctive cultural characteristics of Latin American countries. But, while many people in the United States and Europe are familiar with musical genres such as salsa, merengue, and reggaet n, the musical manifestations that young people listen to in most Latin American countries are much more varied than these commercially successful ones that have entered the American and European markets. Not only that, the young people themselves often have little in common with the stereotypical image of them that exists in the American imagination. Bridging this divide between perception and reality, Music and Youth Culture in Latin America brings together contributors from th...
Chilean New Song and the Question of Culture in the Allende Government
Focusing on the cultural debate within the left during the Popular Unity government in Chile (1970-73), Chilean New Song and the Question of Culture in the Allende Government situates the discourses and artistic production linked to the Chilean New Song movement, in order to demonstrate that the musicians were part of the committed intelligentsia. Thus, they actively participated in the discussion and proposal of ways to integrate culture in the revolutionary process, playing an important political and cultural role. The analysis is mainly based on the government-friendly press and on records released between 1970 and 1973, verifying how the main trends observed in the cultural debate were expressed in the movement; the extent to which the positions defended by the musicians have been in tune with governmental purposes; and if they have in fact influenced the cultural policies debated and pursued by Popular Unity.
Experimentalisms in Practice
Experimentalisms in Practice explores the multiple sites in which experimentalism emerges and becomes meaningful beyond Eurocentric interpretative frameworks. Challenging the notion of experimentalism as defined in conventional narratives, contributors take a broad approach to a wide variety of Latin@ and Latin American music traditions conceived or perceived as experimental. The conversation takes as starting point the 1960s, a decade that marks a crucial political and epistemological moment for Latin America; militant and committed aesthetic practices resonated with this moment, resulting in a multiplicity of artistic and musical experimental expressions. Experimentalisms in Practice responds to recent efforts to reframe and reconceptualize the study of experimental music in terms of epistemological perspective and geographic scope, while also engaging traditional scholarship. This book contributes to the current conversations about music experimentalism while providing new points of entry to further reevaluate the field.
Rockin Las Americas
Every nation in the Americas—from indigenous Peru to revolutionary Cuba—has been touched by the cultural and musical impact of rock. Rockin’ Las Américas is the first book to explore the production, dissemination, and consumption of rock music throughout the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, Brazil, the Andes, and the Southern Cone as well as among Latinos in the United States. The contributors include experts in music, history, literature, culture, sociology, and anthropology, as well as practicing rockeros and rockeras. The multidisciplinary, transnational, and comparative perspectives they bring to the topic serve to address a broad range of fundamental questions about rock in Latin and Latino America, including: Why did rock become such a controversial cultural force in the region? In what ways has rock served as a medium for expressing national identities? How are unique questions of race, class, and gender inscribed in Latin American rock? What makes Latin American rock Latin American? Rockin’ Las Américas is an essential book for anyone who hopes to understand the complexities of Latin American culture today.
Memories of Underdevelopment
Tomás Gutiérrez Alea's Memories of Underdevelopment (1968) is a classic of Cuban revolutionary culture, and is hailed as a prime example of a radical style of 1960s political filmmaking that became known worldwide as Latin American “new cinema.” Darlene J. Sadlier's detailed study approaches this much-written-about film from a new perspective. Her analysis situates the film in its historical context, considering how Cuban political history affected and informed the production of the film, particularly its use of archival footage. She discusses the film as an adaptation of Edmundo Desnoes's novel Memorias del subdesarrollo (1965), exploring how the novel itself is “re-written” in si...

Só Me Interessa o que Não é Meu: História do Brasil, Triste Trópico e a Montagem de Materiais de Arquivo no Período da Ditadura Militar
Este livro desenvolve um estudo sobre dois ¬lmes brasileiros de reemprego realizados no início dos anos 1970: História do Brasil (Glauber Rocha e Marcos Medeiros, 1974) e Triste Trópico (Arthur Omar, 1974), com o objetivo de avaliar o alcance historiográ¬co da escolha estética e política do reemprego de imagens já existentes como método de realização. Obras singulares na ¬lmogra¬a de artistas importantes, esses ¬lmes, realizados fundamentalmente com a retomada de materiais diversos, compartilham, além de seu raro método de realização, um interesse central pela compreensão da história do Brasil. "Simetricamente opostos" em suas estratégias, como assinala Arthur Omar, exp...
Tecituras das Cidades - História, Memória, Arquivos e Museus
"Tecituras das Cidades: História, Memória, Arquivos e Museus" é resultado das pesquisas científicas de estudiosos que se dedicam a analisar questões pertinentes aos estudos das cidades e às inúmeras possibilidades de abordagem que envolvem o cotidiano urbano. Nessa obra a preocupação se volta para os arquivos e museus em suas mais variadas formas de abordagem: são olhares teóricos e sínteses sobre a memória e a história de instituições ligadas à conservação de documentos e à formação e preservação do patrimônio histórico. Em um país tão carente de políticas públicas de conservação e cuidado com a sua história, no qual surgem casos lamentáveis como o ocorrido com o Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro em 2018, é fundamental revelarmos e analisarmos o trabalho dos envolvidos na quase heroica e nem sempre cumprida tarefa de construir e manter essa parte tão essencial da identidade brasileira.
