Los escasos trabajos que lo hacen, por otro lado, suelen centrarse en cine industrial; determinadas figuras o en los films que éstas protagonizan, sin dar mayor relevancia sistema de estudios a las condiciones que lo posibilitan o al contexto económico del cual es fruto. En casi todos ellos, se resalta la condición de “producto a consumir” de la estrella, dejando de lado su calidad de trabajador, en parte, porque para algunos esa categorización parece oponerse a su condición de artista, en parte, porque para otros el desempeño interpretativo de la star es casi nulo, siendo ésta un producto basado solo en su físico y su personalidad, ambos especialmente pulidos para su “venta”. El siguiente artículo se propone analizar el sistema de estrellas en Argentina, prestando especial atención a los actores y actrices que lo conformaron, como así también a las razones de su aparición y formas particulares que adoptó en nuestro país. Ambiciona, además, plantear algunas preguntas sobre la específica condición de trabajador de la estrella, dentro de un sistema indudablemente capitalista.

  • Buenos Aires, Mecca of Tango: Activation Processes, Mega Cultural Events, Tourism and Dilemmas in the Local Heritage1
    BUENOS AIRES, MECCA OF TANGO: ACTIVATION PROCESSES, MEGA CULTURAL EVENTS, TOURISM AND DILEMMAS IN THE LOCAL HERITAGE1 PhD. Hernán Morel CONICET-UBA/FFyL [email protected] ABSTRACT In this paper, we go through the history of the construction of tango as heritage. The period analyzed here begins in the late 90's and extends until 2010. We analyze the factors underlying the cultural policies that came to surface after the "turn" of tango as heritage in Buenos Aires, that is to say, after the activation and promotion of this popular genre on part of the political power (Morel 2009). Through a process analysis, we outline the official efforts behind this recognition. Simultaneously, we examine the impact of tourism as a decisive factor in the political-cultural approaches of the successive administrations. Our aim is especially focused on two main aspects: first, we highlight the heritage-driven policies that went along with the activation process of this genre, and, secondly, we note the consolidation of the cultural policies and actions which had to do, mainly, with the organization of tango events in relation to the promotion of tourism in the city. Under this framework, we explore the negotiations and disputes which, later on, led to the creation of the Buenos Aires Tango Festival and its institutionalization within the official cultural program. Keywords: political heritage, festivals, tourism, tango. RESUMEN En este artículo nos proponemos realizar un recorrido por la trayectoria de construcción patrimonial del tango, abordando el período que abarca desde fines de la década de los 90 hasta el año 2010.

  • Historia Y Memoria De Los Estudios San Miguel Por Rocío
    561 Entre plátanos y melodramas: historia y memoria de los Estudios San Miguel * ** *** **** Por Rocío Espínola , Sebastián Mattia , Ariel Navarro y Maximiliano Ponce Resumen: En este trabajo se abordarán dos cuestiones referidas a la historia del cine argentino, en el período comprendido entre 1937 y 1955. Por un lado, la historia de la productora cinematográfica Estudios San Miguel. Por otro, se analizará la construcción del género melodrama desde una perspectiva semiótica. Traer al presente la historia de Estudios San Miguel nos permite ahondar en la historia del ex partido de General Sarmiento, y pensar el carácter de proximidad con el territorio, a partir de la construcción de la memoria. El melodrama será entendido como un género autónomo y reconocido socialmente en el período señalado. Analizaremos, entonces, dos películas: Los isleros (Lucas Demare, 1951) y La dama duende (Luis Saslavsky, 1945), producidas por Estudios San Miguel. Este análisis nos permite indagar no sólo sobre la discusión en torno a su categoría como género, sino también analizar su estilo clave en la época de oro del cine argentino. Palabras clave: cine argentino, melodrama, Estudios San Miguel, industria cinematográfica, género. Entre bananas e melodramas: história e memória dos Estúdios San Miguel Resumo: Neste artigo abordaremos duas questões relacionadas à história do cinema argentino no período entre 1937 e 1955. Por um lado, a história da produtora cinematográfica Estúdios San Miguel. Por outro, a construção do gênero melodrama será analisada a partir de uma perspectiva semiótica. Trazendo ao presente a trajetória dos Estúdios San Miguel, poderemos mergulhar na história da antiga região de General Sarmiento, e pensar sobre o caráter de proximidade com o território a partir da construção da memória.

  • LA CIUDAD TIMBERA. JUEGO, ESTADO Y CULTURA EN BUENOS AIRES, 1891-1932
    Universidad de San Andrés Posgrado en Historia Doctorado en Historia Título del trabajo: LA CIUDAD TIMBERA. JUEGO, ESTADO y CULTURA EN BUENOS AIRES, 1891-1932 Autora: Ana Cecchi Mentor: Eduardo Zimmermann Firma del mentor: Buenos Aires, 29 de febrero de 2016 Resumen LA CIUDAD TIMBERA. JUEGO, ESTADO Y CULTURA EN BUENOS AIRES, 1891-1932 Esta investigación propone analizar el marco legal del juego y su relación con las prácticas sociales, culturales, estatales y policiales en la ciudad de Buenos Aires entre 1891 y 1932. Durante el período 1891-1902, se sancionaron una serie de leyes que redefinieron pautas hasta entonces admitidas en el ámbito urbano. La Ley de Protección de los Animales (1891) prohibió las riñas de gallos. La Ley de Lotería de Beneficencia Nacional (1895) consolidó la institución de la Lotería de Beneficencia Nacional y dejó atrás a la Lotería Municipal. Por último, la Ley de Represión del Juego (1902) obligó al cierre de todo lugar de apuestas no contemplado por dicha ley y habilitó a la policía a realizar allanamientos en domicilios privados. En conjunto, todos estos marcos legales organizaron las pautas de circulación del juego en la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Palabras Clave: Buenos Aires, 1891-1932, juego, legalidad, policía. Abstract THE GAMBLING CITY.

From 1891 to 1902, a series of laws were passed that redefined what practices were permitted within this urban environment.

  • Entrevista Antonio Agri Antonio Agri
    Entrevista Antonio Agri Antonio Agri: Es muy difícil en Argentina, la Argentina es muy difícil. Entrevistadora: ¿Y por qué cambió? ¿Por Menem? ¿por todo el gobierno? ¿eso? Antonio Agri: No, no, nunca. Siempre, antes de Menem también, si con Piazzolla hemos sufrido horrores. Nosotros con Piazzolla no trabajábamos nada, nos mordíamos la liebre con Astor, una mentira total. Piazzolla por eso se tuvo que ir también. Entrevistadora: Porque acá no dan plata para la cultura. Antonio Agri: No, aparte es… cuando uno intenta hacer algo que es de cierta calidad no sirve, en este país no sirve. La mediocridad es muy grande, o sea, en Europa también existe la mediocridad. Pero el que vale tiene lugar. Acá el que vale no tiene ningún lugar por eso no hay nadie, o sea, hay gente que se merece estar en algún lugar y no tiene dónde trabajar. Entrevistadora: Por eso ya viajaron a Japón ¿no? Antonio Agri: Sí, fuimos y ya nos contactaron otra vez, pero vamos a lugares, digamos, como si fuera… Allá se sorprendieron todos “¿Pero cómo es un conjunto de cámara?” y va con la noticia, claro. Y tocamos los mismos areglos que se han tocado siempre. La música popular, sacando honrosas excepciones, la cuestión matices, no. Un director de sinfónica acá nos decía:“ No se olviden nunca que los músicos malos tocan fuerte. Solamente músicos buenos tocan bien.” Entrevistadora: Sí, sí. Antonio Agri: Es muy difícil, muy difícil. Bueno, usted dirá. Entrevistadora: Bueno. Yo tengo una pregunta quizás un poco grave, pero yo soy de ascendiente judía y escuché mucho la música klezmer ¿no? Y ahora escuchando el violín en el tango yo me pregunté o me pareció que el estilo o la especie de rubato, de llegar a la nota con glissando me hace recordar mucho la música que conozco allá del este.

Este artículo surge a partir de la investigación sobre el origen de este material y las transformaciones a través de la historia del tango. Más allá de las vincula- ciones altamente consensuadas con las sonoridades africanas desarrolladas en el Río de la Plata desde la época colonial y con el género milonga du- rante el siglo XIX, en el estudio realizado se identificaron otras apariciones de gran importancia textural en versiones de tangos grabadas durante las décadas del veinte, del treinta y del cuarenta.

  • TANGO… the Perfect Vehicle the Dialogues and Sociocultural Circumstances Informing the Emergence and Evolution of Tango Expressions in Paris Since the Late 1970S
    TANGO… The Perfect Vehicle The dialogues and sociocultural circumstances informing the emergence and evolution of tango expressions in Paris since the late 1970s. Alberto Munarriz A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO March 2015 © Alberto Munarriz, 2015 i Abstract This dissertation examines the various dialogues that have shaped the evolution of contemporary tango variants in Paris since the late 1970s. I focus primarily on the work of a number of Argentine composers who went into political exile in the late 1970s and who continue to live abroad. Drawing on the ideas of Russian linguist Mikhail Bakhtin (concepts of dialogic relationships and polyvocality), I explore the creative mechanisms that allowed these and other artists to engage with a multiplicity of seemingly irreconcilable idioms within the framing concept of tango in order to accommodate their own musical needs and inquietudes. In addition, based on fieldwork conducted in Basel, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Gerona, Paris, and Rotterdam, I examine the mechanism through which musicians (some experienced tango players with longstanding ties with the genre, others young performers who have only recently fully embraced tango) engage with these new forms in order to revisit, create or reconstruct a sense of personal or communal identity through their performances and compositions. I argue that these novel expressions are recognized as tango not because of their melodies, harmonies or rhythmic patterns, but because of the ways these features are “musicalized” by the performers. I also argue that it is due to both the musical heterogeneity that shaped early tango expressions in Argentina and the primacy of performance practices in shaping the genre’s sound that contemporary artists have been able to approach tango as a vehicle capable of accommodating the new musical identities resulting from their socially diverse and diasporic realities.
