[ES] El propósito de esta tesis es documentar el cambio de la máscara de vejigante, de objeto folklórico a icono contemporáneo. La investigación se centra en un mayor entendimiento de la máscara, magnificada a través de las tradiciones y el patrimonio, en la misma también se utilizó la investigación etnográfica. La investigación postula la teoría que presenta el efecto de culturas en conflicto, analizando el impacto que los Estados Unidos de América han tenido en Puerto Rico a través de la asimilación cultural. Junto con la investigación, completé una experimentación con mi obra personal en la cual se emplearon medios no convencionales y combinaciones de técnicas clásicas y contemporáneas. Esto ha proporcionado una plataforma en la que se abarca la apreciación y las secuelas del encuentro del vejigante en contextos contemporáneos. La documentación escrita sobre el tema es limitada. Se realizaron entrevistas para añadir información a la investigación donde escaseaba la literatura. Se entrevistó a historiadores del arte, artesanos y artistas, quienes presentaron una perspectiva local y una respuesta a los innegables cambios que se han producido en el Carnaval. Esto proporcionó otra forma de investigación derivada de la historia oral que ha sido necesaria para obtener una perspectiva mas amplia del vejigante. Es importante incluir estas historias transmitidas de generación en generación, ya que permiten que una historia cultural prospere aun cuando la información escrita disponible es limitada. Los resultados muestran que la máscara de vejigante experimentó un cambio en su representación física y cultural debido a la influencia y presencia de los Estados Unidos de América en la isla. Con la introducción de la cultura Americana, el concepto de vejigante ha logrado transformarse y evolucionar de las tradiciones carnavalescas a contextos contemporáneos. / [CA] El propòsit d'aquesta tesi es documentar el canvi de la màscara de vejigante, d'objecte folklòric a icona contemporània. La investigació se centra en un major enteniment de la màscara, magnificada a través de les tradicions i el patrimoni, en la mateixa també es va utilitzar la investigació etnogràfica. La investigació postula la teoria que presenta l'efecte de cultures en conflicte, analitzant l'impacte que els Estats Units d'Amèrica han tingut en Puerto Rico a través de l'assimilació cultural. Junt amb la investigació, hem completat la experimentació amb la meua obra personal en la qual es van emprar mitjans no convencionals i combinacions de tècniques clàssiques i contemporànies. Açò ha proporcionat una plataforma en la que es comprèn l'apreciació i les seqüeles de la trobada del vejigante en contextos contemporanis. La documentació escrita sobre el tema és limitada. Es van realitzar entrevistes per afegir informació a la investigació on escassejava la literatura. Es van entrevistar historiadors de l'art, artesans i artistes, que van presentar una perspectiva local i una resposta als innegables canvis que s'han produït en els Carnestoltes. Açò va proporcionar una altra forma d'investigació derivada de la història oral que ha sigut necessària per a obtindre una perspectiva mes àmplia del vejigante. És important incloure estes històries transmeses de generació en generació, ja que permeten que una història cultural prospere encara que la informació escrita disponible és limitada. Els resultats mostren que la màscara de vejigante va experimentar un canvi en la seua representació física i cultural a causa de la influència i presència dels Estats Units d'Amèrica en l'illa. Tot i la introducció de la cultura Americana, el concepte de vejigante ha aconseguit transformar-se i evolucionar de les tradicions carnavalesques a contextos contemporanis. / [EN] The purpose of this thesis is to document the change of the vejigante mask, from a folkloric object to a contemporary icon. The research focuses on a further understanding of the mask, magnified through traditions and heritage, executed with an advanced examination of ethnographic research. The investigation theorizes the impact of clashing cultures by analyzing the impact the United States of America has had on Puerto Rico through the use of cultural assimilation. In conjunction with the research, an experimentation with my personal artwork was completed by using unconventional mediums and combinations of classical and contemporary techniques. This provided the platform to encompass the appreciation and the aftereffects of the vejigante's encounter in contemporary contexts. Documentation on the subject is insufficient. Interviews were conducted to contribute evidence to the investigation where the literature lacked. Art historians, artisans, and artists were interviewed, and presented a local perspective and response to the undeniable changes that have taken place in the Carnival. This provided another form of research known as word-of-mouth, which is necessary in the contribution to the history of the vejigante. It is important to include the oral history that derives from word-of-mouth, stories passed down generation to generation, allowing a cultural history to thrive with limited information on the subject. The results display the vejigante mask experienced a shift in cultural depiction and representation due to the United States of America. Although, with the introduction to American culture, the concept of the vejigante was enabled to transform from Carnival traditions to contemporary contexts. / Glidden, CM. (2021).

La estructura a nivel de instrumentación, distribución de partes, estilo poético y compositivo textual del corpus del qhaswa muestra un sistema sólido. El objetivo de la presente investigación es identificar la matriz de sentido extra musical que subyace al complejo sonoro en mención, con perspectiva hacia una modelización. Dicho género musical es practicado en el ámbito territorial del distrito de Livitaca, provincia de Chumbivilcas, Cusco. Para el logro del objetivo en mención se ha realizado trabajos de campo en las comunidades agropastoras de Livitaca, los cuales consistieron en observación participante, registros y entrevistas semiestructuradas. A ello se ha considerado la revisión crítica de la bibliografía especializada en el ámbito musicológico y demás disciplinas afines. De esa manera, el presente trabajo pone en evidencia la existencia de un modelo teórico extra musical subyacente al corpus organizativo sonoro y su puesta en escena del qhaswa. A la vez, un conjunto de principios estructurales cumple la función de articulador, el cual es sentido y vivido por los comuneros y las comuneras agropastoras de Livitaca. El punto de partida del modelo teórico subyacente es el principio de paridad, el cual organiza todo el corpus del qhaswa. Se trata de una matriz arquetípica, cuyo rasgo central es la existencia de un centro articulador (tercero incluido), a la manera del silogismo aristotélico. Su proyección es el pensamiento comunitario y sistémico (relacionalidad). / The structure in terms of instrumentation, distribution of parts, poetic style and textual composition of the qhaswa corpus shows a solid system. The aim of this research is to identify the matrix of extra musical meaning that underlies the mentioned sound complex, with a perspective towards modeling. This musical genre is practiced in the area of Livitaca district in Chumbivilcas province and department of Cusco. To achieve the aforementioned purpose, field work has been carried out in the communities of Livitcaca, which consisted of participant obervation, recordings and semi-structured interviews. A critical review of the specialized literature on musicology and other related disciplenes was included as well. On that way, the current work reveals the existence of an extramusical theoretical model underlying the sound corpus and its staging of the qhaswa. At the same time, a set of structural principles fulfills the function of articulator, which is felt and lived by the community members of Livitaca. The starting point of the underlying theoretical model is the principle of parity, which organizes the entire corpus of qhaswa. It is an archetypal matrix, whose central feature is the existence of an articulating center (included middle), in the manner of the Aristotelian syllogism. Its projection is the community thought and relationality.

Cette dissertation traite la danse comme une catégorie d’analyse permettant de réorienter ou de ré-chorégraphier les théories postcoloniales du corps. Mon étude montre qu’ Edward Said, par exemple, décrit la danse seulement à travers le regard impérial, et que Homi Bhabha et Gayatri Spivak négligent complètement le rôle de la dance dans la construction de la subjectivité postcoloniale. Mon étude explique que Stavros Karayanni récemment explore la danse masculine et féminine comme espaces de résistance contre la domination coloniale. Toutefois, l’analyse de Karayanni met l’accent seulement sur le caractère insaisissable de la danse qui produit une ambigüité et une ambivalence dans le regard du sujet impériale. Contrairement aux approches de Said et de Karayanni, ma dissertation explore la danse comme un espace ou le corps du sujet colonisé chorégraphie son histoire collective que l’amnésie coloniale ne cesse de défigurer au moyen de l’acculturation et de marchandisation. Je soutiens que la danse nous offre la possibilité de concevoir le corps colonisé non seulement dans son ambiguïté, comme le souligne Karayanni, mais aussi dans son potentiel de raconter corporellement sa mémoire collective de l’intérieur de la domination impériale. Ma dissertation soutient que les catégories de l’ambiguïté et de l’insaisissabilité mystifient et fétichisent le corps dansant en le décrivant comme un élément évasif et évanescent. Ma dissertation inclut plusieurs traditions culturelles de manière à réorienter la recherche ethnographique qui décrit la dance comme articulation codée par une culture postcoloniale spécifique. Mon étude montre comment le corps colonisé produit un savoir culturel à partir de sa différence. Cette forme de savoir corporelle présente le corps colonisé en tant que sujet et non seulement objet du désir colonial. Méthodologiquement, cette dissertation rassemble des théories occidentales et autochtones de la danse. Mon étude considère aussi les théories postcoloniales du corps dansant à partir des perspectives hétérosexuelles et homosexuelles. En outre, mon étude examine les manières dont les quelles les théories contemporaines de la danse, postulées par Susan Foster et André Lepecki par exemple, peuvent être pertinentes dans le contexte postcolonial. Mon étude explore également le potentiel politique de l’érotique dans la danse à travers des représentations textuelles et cinématographiques du corps. L’introduction de ma dissertation a trois objectifs. Premièrement, elle offre un aperçu sur les théories postcoloniales du corps. Deuxièmement, elle explique les manières dans lesquelles on peut appliquer des philosophies contemporaines de la danse dans le contexte postcoloniale. Troisièmement, l’introduction analyse le rôle de la dance dans les œuvres des écrivains postcoloniales célèbres tels que Frantz Fanon, Wole Soyinka, Arundhati Roy, et Wilson Harris. Le Chapitre un remet en question les théories de l’ambiguïté et de l’insaisissabilité de la danse à partir de la théorie de l’érotique postulé par Audre Lorde. Ce chapitre examine le concept de l’érotique dans le film Dunia de Jocelyne Saab. Le Chapitre deux ouvre un dialogue entre les théories occidentales et autochtones de la danse à partir d’une étude d’un roman de Tomson Highway. Le Chapitre trois examine comment l’écrivain Trinidadien Earl Lovelace utilise la danse de carnaval comme espace culturel qui reflète l’homogénéité raciale et l’idéologie nationaliste à Trinidad et en les remettant également en question. / Classical texts of postcolonial theory rarely address the embodied expression of dance as they examine the colonial body only through the imperial discourses about the Orient (Said), the construction of the Subaltern subject (Spivak), and the ambivalent desire of the colonial gaze (Bhabha). The Cyprian theorist and dancer Stavros Stavrou Karayanni has emphasised the centrality of dance as a key category of analysis through which discourses of resistance can be articulated from the perspective of the colonial heterosexual and queer body. However, Karayanni adopts the psychoanalytic method according to which the dancing body of the colonised subject has an ambivalent effect upon the Western traveller and / or coloniser who both desires and derides this body. In contrast to this approach, my study examines dance as a space in which the colonial body choreographs its collective history which colonial amnesia suppresses so as to de-historicise colonised subjects and disfigure their cultures. Departing from Frantz Fanon’s emphasis on the relevance of dance in colonial studies, I argue that the colonial body choreographs its collective memories in dance and prompts us to rethink hegemonic discourses of postcolonial identity formation that revolve around ambivalence and elusiveness. I borrow the notion of “choreographing history” from the Western contemporary discipline of dance studies which has integrated cultural studies since mid 1980s and influenced postcolonial inquiry of dance over the last decade. I include various cultural traditions in my project so as to re-direct today’s predominantly ethnographic research which describes dance as an encoded articulation of culture in specific postcolonial societies. I also include different cultural traditions to show that while choreographing silenced memories in various historical experiences of colonial violence, the dancing body allows us to construct discourses of resistance in ways that postcolonial theory has not addressed before. The re-choreography of postcolonial theories of the body, as developed in this dissertation, articulates an ethical imperative because it shows how the subaltern body not only choreographs memories that colonial amnesia silences but also produces cultural knowledge with a difference. Methodologically, this study brings together Western and indigenous theories of dance as well as postcolonial theories of the dancing body from both heterosexual and queer perspectives. My study discusses Susan Foster and André Lepecki’s contemporary theories of dance and the body in the context of postcolonial theories of Oriental dance and eroticism. It also examines the socially and politically transformative potential of the erotic in dance through textual and cinematic representations of the body. My study equally opens a dialogue between Western and indigenous theories of dance in the context of Canadian indigenous literary work of Tomson Highway. A critical examination of Trinidad Carnival and Calypso in a novel by Earl Lovelace demonstrates that dance is a central paradigm of analysis for a postcolonial critique of the body and the categories of identity that inscribe it.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Sergio Manoel Rodrigues.pdf: 2755114 bytes, checksum: 73bacfe9b4179d5cf75b98a6019e5a8e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-08-27 / The present work studies the dramatic gender, since its origins, the ritual stages of the old ones, until the main theatrical manifestations of the contemporaneity. It is centered, afterwards, in the Brazilian context, when dealing with the theatrical workmanship by Nelson Rodrigues, playwright that innovated the scenic language and restored modernity in the national theater, a time that, before this, the stages in our country only appropriated of comedies or foreign texts. By means of the inquiry and of the analysis, this research aims at to develop a critical study of Album of family (play written by related author, in 1945), with the objective to bring specific aspects of the dramatic action of the mentioned theatrical text into the open, that divides itself in two narrative plans that contradict themselves. The duality and ambiguity, enrolled in the text of the play, are argued and analyzed for the point of view of certain universal subjects (adultery, incest, violence, homosexuality, prostitution, preconception, maleness and paedophilia), considered taboos for the more conservatives and ranks in prominence by means of literary procedures over all the carnival theory and the parody , with which the author intends to show the chaos that afflicts the contemporary society and the man. Such procedures disclose a peculiar universe, where institutions, as the family and the Church, have its functions put in check for social and human blemishes. Moreover, by means of the criticism to the society and the family, Nelson Rodrigues looks for to distort myths, subjects and ideologies that serve of ground to the classic theater and to the bourgeois society too, at the same time where he dialogues with other theatrical manifestations, imposing himself thus, as the creator of an authentic Brazilian tragedy, in agreement with the carnival theory and the parody and, above all, morality / O presente trabalho estuda o gênero dramático, desde suas origens, as encenações ritualísticas dos antigos, até as principais manifestações teatrais da contemporaneidade. Centra-se, a seguir, no contexto brasileiro, ao tratar da obra teatral de Nelson Rodrigues, dramaturgo que inovou a linguagem cênica e instaurou a modernidade no teatro nacional, uma vez que, antes disso, as encenações em nosso país se apropriavam somente de comédias ou de textos estrangeiros. Por meio da investigação e da análise, esta pesquisa visa a desenvolver um estudo crítico de Álbum de família (peça escrita pelo referido autor, em 1945), com o objetivo de lançar luz sobre aspectos específicos da ação dramática do mencionado texto teatral, que se divide em dois planos narrativos que se contradizem. A dualidade e ambigüidade, inscritas no texto da peça, são discutidas e analisadas do ponto de vista de certos temas universais (adultério, incesto, violência, homossexualismo, prostituição, preconceito, machismo e pedofilia), considerados tabus pelos mais conservadores e postos em destaque por meio de procedimentos literários sobretudo a carnavalização e a paródia , com os quais o autor pretende desnudar o caos que aflige a sociedade e o homem contemporâneos. Tais procedimentos revelam um universo peculiar, em que instituições, como a família e a Igreja, têm suas funções postas em xeque pelas mazelas sociais e humanas. Além disto, por meio da crítica à sociedade e à família, Nelson Rodrigues procura desconstruir mitos, temas e ideologias que servem de fundamento ao teatro clássico e também à sociedade burguesa, ao mesmo tempo em que dialoga com outras manifestações teatrais, impondo-se, assim, como o criador de uma autêntica tragédia brasileira, carnavalizada, paródica e, acima de tudo, moralizante

In the oral narrative registers (interviews and songs) will be identified questions about the fights involved in the carnival production and in the social actions developed by the street bands. By historicizing these questions, i want to problematize how the practices involving the musical know-how of the afro-descendant individuals refer to the afro belonging tradition and culture and how this experiences create, recreate and resignificate afro-dispersion territorialities in the city of Salvador / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar e discutir temas que envolvem práticas e sociabilidades musicais dos blocos afro do Subúrbio Ferroviário de Salvador nas últimas décadas do século XX (1970/2000). Nos registros de narrativas orais (entrevistas e canções) serão identificadas questões que dizem respeito às lutas que incidem na produção do carnaval e nas ações sociais desenvolvidas pelos blocos. Ao historicizar tais questões, procuro problematizar como as práticas que abarcam o saber e o fazer musical dos indivíduos afro-descendentes se referendam nas tradições e culturas de pertencimento afro e como estas experiências criam, recriam e ressignificam territorialidades afro-diaspóricas na cidade de Salvador
