The album Siembra (Fania 1978) by Rubén Blades and Willie Colón marked the arrival of Salsa consciente -- a strain of New York City Salsa inspired by the global youth revolution of 1968 and the cultural nationalism of the Afro-American Black Panthers and Puerto Rican Young Lords, which gave audible form to Latinidad -- the sociopolitical identity of Latinos in the U.S. and beyond. This dissertation analyzes the development of Salsa consciente as a musico-poetic movement that emerged in the mid 1970's and continued as a leading trend at least until 1991. This musical phenomenon expressed the ethnic consciousness of urban immigrants who came to feel that they all lived in una sola casa (one and the same house) or, in the same meta-barrio (urban meta-neighborhood or ghetto), a semiotically constructed abstract meeting space where Latino and Latin Americans interact through the lingua franca of politicized dance music. The style was catalyzed by performers such as Willie Colón, Ray Barretto, Cheo Feliciano, and Eddie Palmieri, following the intellectual lead of composers Rubén Blades and Catalino "Tite" Curet Alonso. The term consciente applied to Salsa evokes the idea of class consciousness in the Marxist sense (1971, cf. Lukacs' History and Class Consciousness) and/or an ethical conscience that rejects consumerist individualism in favor of social solidarity. The artists may have intentionally chosen ambiguity as a means of defying existing political labels. Spread through the media of vinyl records and commercial radio, Salsa consciente was rapidly embraced by communities of various national origins as the socio-musical signature of Latino ethnicity in New York and beyond (cf. Zea, 1986; Padilla 1989; Davila, 2002; Ramirez, 2002; Aparicio, 2003; Caminero-Santangelo, 2007). The genre and its context are documented here through fieldwork combined with textual and sonic analysis of representative tracks, which are linked for this purpose at www.salsaconsciente.wordpress.com.

Le cadre spatial et temporel de l’étude est restreint : il s’agit de l’itinéraire suivi entrele Rhône et la plaine du Pô par l’armée carthaginoise sous les ordres d’Hannibal Barca aucours du second semestre de l’année 218 avant J.-C. L’événement auquel cet itinéraire serapporte fait très largement déborder le sujet du cadre énoncé ; le parcours de la traverséealpine, qui n’est pas précisément défini par les textes antiques, est perçu comme une desénigmes les plus attrayantes de l’Histoire ancienne. Les historiens modernes qui ont essayéde la résoudre en établissant des concordances entre la réalité géographique et les indicationsdu livre III des Histoires de Polybe (205 ? - 123) et du livre XXI de l’Histoire romaine deTite-Live (64 ? av. J.-C. - 17 après J.-C.) ont émis diverses hypothèses contradictoires parceque systématiquement basées sur une opposition entre les données polybiennes et les donnéesliviennes. Les objectifs de la thèse sont de définir le problème que pose cette énigme à partirdes différentes façons de la traiter depuis son apparition jusqu’à aujourd’hui, et d’en tenterune approche nouvelle, selon une démarche issue de la démarche scientifique classique, enémettant deux hypothèses qui laissent délibérément de côté les itinéraires basés sur uneremontée de la rive gauche du Rhône. L’étude détaillée des deux textes de référence révèleleur complémentarité et permet de percevoir l’origine de l’énigme. La reconnaissance d’unparcours le long de la Durance et à travers le Queyras débouche sur la découverte, au pied dela Crosennetta, dans la vallée du haut Pellice, d’un site unique qui confirme ces hypothèses. / When one examines the whole story, definite limits in time and space are set: in thecourse of the second half of the year 218 B.C., Hannibal Barca led the Carthaginian armyfrom the Rhone to the plain of the river Po. The event related to this itinerary shows that theabove indications are not that certain: the precise route followed to cross the Alps, which theantique texts do not describe in detail, is considered to be one of the most fascinatingenigmas of ancient History. Modern historians have tried to solve it by comparing thegeography of the area and the indications in “Histories”, Book III, of Polybe (205?-123) andin “Roman History”, Book XXI, of Livius (64? B.C.-17 A.D.). They have suggested severalcontradictory theories because these are systematically based on the differences betweenPolybien and Livien data. The aim of the thesis is to clearly state the problems arising fromthis enigma, because of the way it has been examined, from the very beginning right up tillnow, and to try a new approach: a suggestion (using classical scientific methods) whichtemporally abandons the idea of an itinerary on the left bank of the Rhone. The origin of thepuzzle is obvious after careful reading of the two texts referred to and which shows theircomplementary nature. A survey of the route that runs along the side of the river Duranceand crosses the Queyras region led to the discovery, at the foot of the Crosennetta Mountain,at the top of the Pellice valley, of a unique site which confirms these assumptions.
