    Rita Fiorella Montero Diaz Fusion as inclusion: A Lima upper class delusion? Music Department Royal Holloway University of London This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 Declaration of Authorship I Rita Fiorella Montero Diaz hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis examines Peruvian popular intercultural music fusions and their impact among the white upper classes of Lima, Peru. Often antagonised, essentialised and understudied, Lima’s white upper classes have historically distanced themselves from the city’s migrant Andean/Amazonian population, whilst maintaining a relationship of hegemony. However, in the aftermath of the trauma and mass displacements of the twenty-year internal war (1980-2000) between the State and terrorist groups, certain sectors among the young upper classes have come to question their own social dominance. This study charts how certain aspects of this re-negotiation of identity and social position, and a desire for integration with wider Peruvian society, has been articulated through the medium of fusions musics. In particular, since 2005 fusion music has crystallised into a distinct genre and received a notable boom in popularity. These recent developments in fusion music are placed within a broad historical frame and the context of Peru’s fraught racial and class relations, to examine how discourses of integration are juxtaposed with those

  • Staging Lo Andino: the Scissors Dance, Spectacle, and Indigenous Citizenship in the New Peru
    Staging lo Andino: the Scissors Dance, Spectacle, and Indigenous Citizenship in the New Peru DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jason Alton Bush, MA Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Lesley Ferris, Co-Advisor Katherine Borland, Co-Advisor Ana Puga Copyright by Jason Bush 2011 Abstract “Staging Lo Andino: Danza de las Tijeras, Spectacle, and Indigenous Citizenship in the New Peru,” draws on more than sixteen months of fieldwork in Peru, financed by Ohio State‟s competitive Presidential Fellowship for dissertation research and writing. I investigate a historical ethnography of the Peruvian scissors dance, an acrobatic indigenous ritual dance historically associated with the stigma of indigeneity, poverty, and devil worship. After the interventions of Peruvian public intellectual José María Arguedas (1911-1969), the scissors dance became an emblem of indigenous Andean identity and valued as cultural patrimony of the nation. Once repudiated by dominant elites because it embodied the survival of indigenous spiritual practices, the scissors dance is now a celebrated emblem of Peru‟s cultural diversity and the perseverance of Andean traditions in the modern world. I examine the complex processes whereby anthropologists, cultural entrepreneurs, cosmopolitan artists, and indigenous performers themselves have staged the scissors dance as a symbolic resource in the construction of the emergent imaginary of a “New Peru.” I use the term “New Peru” to designate a flexible repertoire of utopian images and discourses designed to imagine the belated overcoming of colonial structures of power and the formation of a modern nation with foundations in the Pre-Columbian past.

  • THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA Celso Garrido-Lecca
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Celso Garrido-Lecca: Synthesis and Syncretism in Concert Music of the Andes Area (1985-2000) A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Nelson Niño Washington, D.C. 2011 Celso Garrido-Lecca: Synthesis and Syncretism in Concert Music of the Andes Area (1985-2000) Nelson Niño, Ph.D. Director: George Grayson Wagstaff, Ph.D. The art music of the Andean region, especially the music produced in the last decades of the twentieth century, has been largely neglected by modern scholarship. This situation has generated a profound lack of research not only in relation to the works of specific composers of this area but also comprehensives research projects that allow an understanding of the aesthetics and musical currents in an important number of South American countries. Among a number of prolific composers of the Andean region, Celso Garrido-Lecca (b. 1926) has been chosen as the central focus of this dissertation. His direct contact with two different cultures of the Andean region, Peru and Chile, gave him a unique and interesting world view. Garrido-Lecca after 1985 was able to synthesize his diverse musical experiences in a very personal language. His mature compositional stage, which extends from 1985 to the present, reached its highest point in the year 2000 when the composer was awarded the “Tomás Luis de Victoria” prize. All the compositions of the period 1985-2000 are discussed in this dissertation and four representative pieces are analyzed in detail: Trío para un Nuevo Tiempo (1985), String Quartet No.

  • The Movement of Dancing Cultures Hélène Neveu Kringelbach and Jonathan Skinner Q
    Introduction The Movement of Dancing Cultures Hélène Neveu Kringelbach and Jonathan Skinner q Nigerian nationality was for me and my generation an acquired taste – like cheese. Or better still, like ballroom dancing. Not dancing per se, for that came naturally; but this titillating version of slow-slow-quick-quick-slow performed in close body contact with a female against a strange, elusive beat. I found, however, that once I had overcome my initial awkwardness I could do it pretty well. —Chinua Achebe hus opens the Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe’s new collection portraying This life growing up in colonial Nigeria as a ‘British-protected child’. Achebe acknowledges that he inhabits – and embodies – the ‘middle ground’ between colonialism and postcolonialism. Whilst he has fond nostalgia for his imperious school teachers, he craves for an independent, strong and free Nigeria, but also laments the failings and difficulties of a country in disarray. The above analogy sums up Achebe’s postcolonial ambivalence. ‘His’ dancing comes naturally, driven by a drum beat, but he is also attracted to the colonial quickstep, a European import, acquired, refined and ‘cultured’. Argentinean dance scholar Marta Savigliano writes about her identity and the tango dance with similar ambivalence: it is the ‘locus of [her] identification … ever since [she] moved outside of her culture’ (Savigliano 1995: 12). She recognizes that it is a stereotype of her culture but that she still needs it as her cultural prop. Yet as a woman in a male-dominated postcolonial South American world, it is a dance where she can find some space to ‘decolonize’ herself doubly: Tango is the main ingredient in my project of decolonization because I have no choice.

  • Barn Dances, Ceilidhs, and Country Dancing in England 1945-2020: an Examination of Non-Specialist English Social Folk Dance
    Barn Dances, Ceilidhs, and Country Dancing in England 1945-2020: An Examination of Non-Specialist English Social Folk Dance Chloe Elizabeth Middleton-Metcalfe MA, BA (Hons) A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of PhD Department of Dance University of Roehampton 2021 1 Barn Dances, Ceilidhs, and Country Dancing in England 1945-2020 CEMM Abstract This thesis is a genre-centred investigation of one dance form which is known by a variety of names including: barn dance, ceilidh, country dance, and (English) folk dance. A hitherto academically neglected dance genre, this thesis takes a mixed diachronic and synchronic approach to explain and contextualise the developments of English social folk dance from the mid-twentieth century. In so doing it contributes to an under-studied area of research: the experiences of occasional, or novice adult dancers. In order to answer the central question of ‘why do people hold English social folk dances?’ this thesis examines the genre’s recent history. The approach of Douglas Kennedy, head of the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) from 1924-1961 is examined. Consideration is given to the influence of other dance genres (in particular square dance and old time) on the formation of an English folk repertoire. The neo-traditionalist approach of the ceilidh movement in the 1970s and the quest for an English sound and dancing style is examined. Folk dance in English schools is charted, providing a counter- story to modern educational dance centred histories. The second half of this thesis utilises ethnographic fieldwork from thirty dance events (2017-2018), supplemented with interviews and questionnaire data.

  • “Catholic & Fun”: an Ethnographic Exploration of Two Peruvian
    Roth1 “Catholic & Fun”: An Ethnographic Exploration of Two Peruvian Festivals MaKaylee Roth Utah State University Peru Ethnographic Field School July 13, 2018 Roth2 INTRODUCTION “In some cases, tourism might also reinforce existing social relations, particularly where traditional social activities such as festivals and performances become tourist attractions—although in such instances, the local meanings assigned to these events might well be altered as a result of the participation of outsiders.”1 During my time in Peru for the Ethnographic Field School, I had the opportunity to attend four different Peruvian festivals: El Festival de Huaman, El Festival de San Pedro, El Festival de San Juan Bautista, and El Festival de Municipalidad Provincial de Julcán. In Peru, there are approximately 3,000 popular festivals that are celebrated annually, including patron saint feasts, processions, carnivals and rituals, encompassing the expression of faith in a god, respect for nature, and the celebration of freedom. Many of the Peruvian festivals demonstrate the fusion of Catholicism with the region’s pre-Hispanic traditions.2 The lack of research done on these festivals inspired me to conduct my own research. I was flabbergasted to learn that there was little to no ethnographic research about Peruvian festivals which is the reason why I decided to conduct my own ethnographic research regarding the festivals in Peru. Due to the limitation of time, I decided to focus on two Catholic religious festivals: El Festival de San Juan Bautista and El Festival de San Pedro. The purpose of my research sought to better understand the purpose of the festivals and the significant meaning it had to participants who attended these festivals.

  • Dancing in the Seminary: Reconstructing Dances for a 1749 Viceregal Peruvian Opera
    Dancing in the Seminary: Reconstructing Dances for a 1749 Viceregal Peruvian Opera This dissertation is presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Peggy L. Murray December 2015 © 2015 Peggy L. Murray. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Dancing in the Seminary: Reconstructing Dances for a 1749 Viceregal Peruvian Opera by PEGGY L. MURRAY has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by Marina Peterson Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Arts Tresa Randall Associate Professor of Dance, Film & Theater Margaret Kennedy-Dygas Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT MURRAY, PEGGY L., Ph.D. December 2015, Performance Studies Dancing in the Seminary: Reconstructing Dances for a 1749 Viceregal Peruvian Opera Directors of Dissertation: Marina Peterson and Tresa Randall This study explores the dance characteristics and aesthetics likely employed in Venid, venid deydades, a performance piece from mid-eighteenth-century Cusco, Peru. This seminary opera by Fray Esteban Ponce de León was composed and performed in the Seminary of San Antonio Abad to honor its rector, who was named Bishop of Paraguay. The music and libretto for the work are extant in the Seminary’s archive, yet its choreography is unknown--a common condition that impedes the understanding of dance in its historical context. This study unites diverse textual and embodied resources to re- create dances consistent with the opera’s style. Theoretically, this study analyzes the task of early dance reconstruction using Diana Taylor’s conception of the archive--historical textual material--and of the repertoire--unwritten embodied information that societies pass down over time.1 The methodological aim of the study is to provide an explained model for the process of historically informed early dance reconstruction; thus, a minuet and contradanza are reconstructed in Chapter Five.

  • Cunamacué - Afro-Peruvian Dance and Music Study Guide & Activities
    Cunamacué - Afro-Peruvian Dance and Music Study Guide & Activities Cunamacué, based in Oakland, California, is an arts organization dedicated to ​ promoting Afro-Peruvian culture through its music and dance. The name Cunamacué is ​ ​ a reminder that their work is based on ancestral roots and meant to be left for future generations. The word macué is representative of the ancestors; it is a stream in ​ ​ Mozambique, one of the places from which Africans were uprooted and taken to Perú. Cuna is the Spanish word for crib, representing future generations. ​ Carmen Roman is the founder and Artistic Director ​ of Cunamacué. Raised both in Lima, Peru, and the ​ ​ Bay Area, Carmen is a dancer, choreographer, educator, filmmaker, and emerging scholar. She approaches the practice of Afro-Peruvian dance as a way to strengthen traditions and cultural identity, as well as a vehicle for self-expression. Geography & Language Peru is located on the Pacific Coast of South America. The country’s 3 official languages are Spanish, Quechua and Aymara, although there are more than 100 languages spoken across the entire country. *How many languages are spoken in your city? Your classroom? Your house? The country is composed of three regions — Coast, Andes (highlands/mountains), and ​ ​ rainforest (Amazon) — each with distinct food, dances, and music. ​ ​ Cunamacué presents dance and music from the African descendant Peruvian ​ population of Peru, the majority of whom live in cities in the coastal region. Afro-Peruvians Currently, African descendants in Peru make up 3-4% of the population with the highest concentrations living in the coastal cities of Lima, Chincha, Zaña and Yapatera.
