Feminist Worldmaking and Musical Practice in Chile By Resonance and Resistance: Feminist Worldmaking and Musical Practice in Chile by Christina Marie Azahar Folgar A dissertation in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Jocelyne Guilbault, Chair Professor T. Carlis Roberts Professor Charles L. Briggs Professor Daniel Party Spring 2021 Resonance and Resistance: Feminist Worldmaking and Musical Practice in Chile © 2021 by Christina Marie Azahar Folgar Abstract Resonance and Resistance: Feminist Worldmaking and Musical Practice in Chile by Christina Marie Azahar Folgar Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Jocelyne Guilbault, Chair This dissertation engages the concept of resonance in order to explore how Chilean feminist activists, musicians, industry leaders, and audiences have used popular musical practices to create space for themselves and their communities. Centrally, this study asks, how are feminist organizers in Chile engaging music to mobilize artists, audiences, and industries to end patterns of patriarchal oppression? To what extent do feminist musical practices allow participants to navigate, re-sound, and re-envision the physical, social, industrial, and virtual spaces of which they are a part? By examining a diversity of feminist musical practices from the mid-twentieth century to the present, I explain how musical and interpersonal resonances shape feminist coalition-building while also reconfiguring the gender politics of social and geophysical space. Each chapter in this dissertation makes audible distinct feminist understandings of Chilean music history, spatial politics, and the patriarchal systems that shape these. In Chapters Two and Three, I examine the role of cantautoras (women singer-songwriters) across generations of political movements, specifically addressing the feminist legacies, activism, and travels of folklorist Violeta Parra (b. 1917) and singer Pascuala Ilabaca (b. 1985). The latter two chapters examine two highly distinct community music practices. Chapter Four draws on my participant observation in women’s community cueca classes in Santiago to analyze the process of “sacando la voz” (raising, drawing out, or finding one’s voice) within the urban folk music tradition, cueca brava. Chapter Five examines the history of countercultural arts collective Coordinadora Femfest and their collaboration with trans performer Hija de Perra. I explain how members have used peripheral venues and DIY performance practices to develop a transfeminist coalition building based on “sounding from under”–outside mainstream institutions and in solidarity with marginalized communities. Each case, I argue, represents a different enactment of feminist worldmaking in which sound is made into a reclamation of space, an amplification of voices, or a mobilization of power. I define feminist worldmaking as the performative means through which musicians and musical collectives practice modes of existence and envision human futurity outside the strictures of sexism, classism, and xenophobia. Based on this perspective, I locate feminist worldmaking possibilities in these practices not only in the way their artistic imaginings envision new futures, but also in the very real ways that their organizing, production, and performance actively transform gender and sexual politics within their social context. 1 Dedication To my grandparents, who ignited my curiosity, who cared for me endlessly, and who dreamed and worked and sacrificed for my education long before I was born. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract 1 Dedication i Table of Contents ii Acknowledgements iv Chapter 1 Introduction: Bodies, Territories, and Voices 1 I.

Primero, a las mujeres músicas chilenas con quienes compartí un año de compañerismo, trabajo y arte–especialmente Carolina Ozaus, Maria Paz Reese, Antonia Piña, Barbara Finsterbusch, Camila Camacho, Gaba Reveco, Sol Saldivia, Camila Camacho, Carolina Nicoletti, Constanza Araya, Pascuala Ilabaca, Josi Villanueva y todas mis compañeras del taller de canto femenino cuequero–gracias por abrir sus hogares, por compartir sus historias y por confiar en mi voz. Me han cambiado por siempre. Ofrezco este trabajo humildemente como un documento de su labor política y artística y un testamento al poder de crear en colaboración. A Panchita, mi gran amiga, me hubiera perdido en Chile sin ti. Gracias por cuidarme y por hacerme parte de tu familia. In addition to my Fulbright Faculty Host and dissertation committee member Daniel Party, whose regular meetings and hospitality grounded me during my time in Santiago, I was fortunate to be welcomed into a community of musicologists in Chile whose enthusiasm and collegiality I am eternally grateful for. Lorena Valdebenito, Daniela Fugellie, Laura Jordan, Jacob Rekedal, Juan Pablo González y Nayive Ananías, gracias por cuestionar y dialogar conmigo. ¡Y gracias por asegurar que nunca me faltaba un buen café! A mis estudiantes de Música, Género y Sexualidad–Rodrigo, Darío, Gerardo, Claudia, Pablo y Paulo–gracias por permitirme compartir algunas de mis primeras ideas sobre esta investigación en nuestro curso. I also owe huge thanks to Juan Eduardo Wolf and Luis Achondo, who likewise provided invaluable feedback on early versions of these chapters, especially my study of canto femenino cuequero. To my Fulbright cohort–Amie, Danielle, Jennifer, Emma, Talia, Amanda, Kate, Maaike, Mickey, Sam, Carly–thank you for inspiring me, exploring with me, and for continuing to show me what big dreams and big hearts are made of. Jocelyne, though I’ve shared hundreds of pages of prose with you over the years, words seem to fail when I try to describe how your guidance has shaped me along this journey. Thank you for fighting for me, for giving me the space to find my voice, and for reminding me to always question, reflect, and revise. Even as you’ve mentored me, you’ve taught me how to be a forever-student, and I hope to continue learning from you for years to come. T, you have shown me the meaning of creative, socially engaged scholarship and teaching. Thank you for brainstorming with me, for your patient guidance through some of my earliest graduate level projects, and for mentoring me as I delved into a beautiful world of WOC literature and art.

  • Platform Feminism: Feminist Protest Space and the Politics of Spatial Organization
    Platform Feminism: Feminist Protest Space and the Politics of Spatial Organization by Rianka Singh A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Rianka Singh 2020 Platform Feminism: Feminist Protest Space and the Politics of Spatial Organization Rianka Singh Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2020 Abstract Platform Feminism: Feminist Protest Space and the Politics of Spatial Organization examines the relationship between platforms and feminist politics. This dissertation proposes a new feminist media theory of the platform that positions the platform as a media object that elevates and amplifies some voices over others and renders marginal resistance tactics illegible. This dissertation develops the term “Platform Feminism” to describe an emerging view of digital platforms as always-already politically useful media for feminist empowerment. I argue that Platform Feminism has come to structure and dominate popular imaginaries of what a feminist politics is. In the same vein, the contemporary focus on digital platforms within media studies negates attention to the strategies of care, safety and survival that feminists who resist on the margins employ in the digital age. If we take seriously the imperative to survive rather than an overbearing commitment to speak up, then the platform’s role in feminism is revealed as limited in scope and potential. Through a mixed methodological approach via interviews with feminist activists, critical discourse analysis of platform protest materials, critical discourse analysis of news coverage and popular cultural responses to transnational feminist protests and participant observation within sites of feminist protest in Toronto, this dissertation argues that the platform is a media object that is over-determined in its political utility for Feminist politics and action.

We imagined it as a live, intimate theatrical performance that would take place in the cozy confines of the Havana Theatre. Much has changed since then, including our vision for this show.

In B, we entertain the question: What does it mean to long to be part of a political ​ ​ moment that ultimately you are isolated from? What does it mean to feel left behind, or outside? In approaching the form of comedy it’s an interesting thing to try to distance ourselves from the dismissive and derogatory term Idiot, and instead look at its etymological origins—where a more ​ ​ accurate interpretation of the word Idiot may simply mean, an outsider.

  • Violeta Parra, Después De Vivir Un Siglo
    En el documental Violeta más viva que nunca, el poeta Gonzalo Rojas llama a Violeta la estrella mayor de Chile, lo más grande, la síntesis perfecta. Esta elocuente descripción habla del sitial privilegiado que en la actualidad, por fin, ocupa Violeta Parra en nuestro país, después de muchos años injustos en los que su obra fue reconocida en el extranjero y prácticamente ignorada en Chile. Hoy, reconocemos a Violeta como la creadora que hizo de lo popular una expre- sión vanguardista, llena de potencia e identidad, pero también como un talento universal, singular y, quizás, irrepetible. Violeta fue una mujer que logró articular en su arte corrientes divergentes, obligándonos a tomar conciencia sobre la diversidad territorial y cultural del país que, además de valorar sus saberes originarios, emplea sus recursos para pavimentar un camino hacia la comprensión y valoración de lo otro. Para ello, tendió un puente entre lo campesino y lo urbano, asumiendo las antiguas tradi- ciones instaladas en el mundo campesino, pero también, haciendo fluir y trans- formando un patrimonio cultural en diálogo con una conciencia crítica. Además, construyó un puente con el futuro, con las generaciones posteriores a ella, y también las actuales, que reconocen en Violeta Parra el canto valiente e irreve- rente que los conecta con su palabra, sus composiciones y su música. Pero Violeta no se limitó a narrar costumbres y comunicar una filosofía, sino que también se preocupó de exponer, reflexionar y debatir sobre la situación política y social de la época que le tocó vivir, desarrollando una conciencia crítica, fruto de su profundo compromiso social.

  • Violeta-Parra.Pdf
    Tres discos autorales Juan Pablo González Fernando Carrasco Juan Antonio Sánchez Editores En el año del centenario de una de las máximas expresiones de la música chilena, Violeta Parra, surgió este proyecto que busca acercarnos a su creación desde su faceta de compositora y creadora de textos. La extensa obra de Violeta –que excede lo musical y llega a un plano más amplio del arte– se caracteriza en música por un profundo trabajo de recopilación primero y, posteriormente, por la creación original de numerosas canciones y temas instrumentales emblemáticos que –como Gracias a la Vida– han sido aquí por primera vez transcritas, en un ejercicio que busca llevar estas obras de carácter ya internacional, al universal lenguaje de la escritura musical y, con ello, ampliar el conoci- miento de su creación única y eterna. Violeta es parte de nuestra historia musical, y nuestra organización –que agrupa a los creadores del país y que tiene como misión proteger el trabajo que realizan por dar forma a nuestro repertorio y patrimonio– recibe y presenta con entusiasmo esta publicación, que esperamos sea un aporte en la valorización no sólo de la obra de esta gran autora, sino de nuestra música como un elemento único y vital de identidad y pertenencia.

  • Violeta Se Fue a Los Cielos De Andrés Wood: El Naufragio De La Carpa De La Reinai
    Revista Internacional d’Humanitats 29 set-dez 2013 CEMOrOc-Feusp / Univ. Autònoma de Barcelona Violeta se fue a los cielos de Andrés Wood: El naufragio de La Carpa de La Reinai Patricia Vilches1 Resumen: En La Carpa de La Reina, una comuna de Santiago de Chile, Violeta Parra (1917-1967) confronta su vida personal y artística. La carpa, entonces, es el artefacto cultural a través del cual Andrés Wood, director y guionista de Violeta se fue a los cielos (2011), despliega la primera biopic sobre la genial e incomprendida artista chilena. La Carpa de la Reina no fue conocida por muchos chilenos de la época y el film de Wood ha servido para aclarar aspectos fundamentales de los desafíos que tuvo que enfrentar la cantante en Chile luego de su triunfo en París. De este modo, el fracaso de la carpa equivale a un naufragio artístico que, a la vez, en el más puro estilo idealista de Violeta, adquiere garra y se convierte aquel fatídico 5 de febrero de 1967—y para la posteridad—en un punto neurálgico de la sociedad chilena, en un barómetro social que descifra el lugar de Violeta en la memoria colectiva chilena. Palabras Clave: Violeta Parra - Carpa de La Reina - Andrés Wood - Violeta se fue a los cielos. Abstract: Violeta Parra (1917-1967) succumbed to the weight of her personal and artistic life in La Carpa de La Reina, a district in Santiago de Chile. For this reason, the tent becomes a cultural artifact through which Andrés Wood, director and screenwriter of Violeta Went to Heaven (2011), presents the first biopic about the brilliant and misunderstood Chilean artist.

A través del repertorio de ritmos, cantos y danzas que derrochan, se expresa el sentido de liberación corporal, emocional, y verbal de los artistas y el pueblo. La gente comparte su alegría, sus penas, así como su sentido de identidad y pertenencia comunitaria, nacional, gremial, racial, de género, familiar, y religiosa. Estas agrupaciones son portavoces de la disconformidad popular por los tabúes, y los estereotipos que atentan con las tradiciones y la prosperidad de la comunidad que representa. Este artículo trata de la comparsa “La Jardinera” del barrio de “Jesús María” en la Habana Vieja, emblemáticas comparsas de Cuba. Hablaremos del barrio y sus celebridades de la conga y la rumba. Palabras clave: Comparsa la Jardinera de Cuba. Barrio de Jesus Maria. Cuba. Conga. Rumba. As comparsas nos carnavais de Cuba são como as escolas de samba nos carnavais do Brasil. Por meio do repertório de ritmos, canções e danças que esbanjam, se expressa o sentido de liberação corporal, emocional e verbal dos artistas e do povo.

  • Rumba Rebecca Bodenheimer
    Rumba Rebecca Bodenheimer LAST MODIFIED: 25 FEBRUARY 2016 DOI: 10.1093/OBO/9780199757824­0170 Introduction Along with the traditional dance genre son, the African­derived music and dance genre called rumba is widely considered to be the foundation of contemporary Cuban popular music. During the late 19th century it was the primary secular party music for poor black and racially mixed Cubans in western Cuba, and during the 20th century its musical features were incorporated into numerous popular genres, such as son, mambo, and salsa. Nonetheless, the literature on rumba does not include many in­depth studies, in Spanish or English. None of the pioneering scholars of Afro­Cuban culture gave much attention to rumba, as Fernando Ortiz and Lydia Cabrera focused primarily on Afro­Cuban sacred music. The little that has been written by these scholars, namely Ortiz and Alejo Carpentier, tends to overemphasize the “erotic” nature of the dance, thus reinforcing stereotypes about black culture. Nonetheless, as a member of Grupo Minorista—a group of poets, artists and composers founded in the 1920s who sought to valorize Afro­Cuban vernacular culture—Carpentier did view rumba as an important popular tradition. Among Cuban scholars writing after the Cuban Revolution, the primary in­depth studies of rumba have consisted of bachelor’s theses based on ethnographic research with rumba groups and one biography of important rumba musicians (see Musicians and Groups). There have also been articles on various aspects of rumba, and many Cuban scholars include discussions of the genre within sources on broader topics; the most significant examples of the latter are León 1984 (cited under History, Musical Features, and Musicians: History) and Urfé 1984 (cited under General Overviews and Reference Works).

  • De /Constructing Internationalism
    DE /CONSTRUCTING INTERNATIONALISM FEMINIST PRACTICES IN CONVERSATION DE /CONSTRUCTING INTERNATIONALISM FEMINIST PRACTICES IN CONVERSATION A FEMINIST INTERNATIONAL IN A MOMENT OF RADICAL OPENNESS As I write these lines, we are still in the midst of the global Corona pandemic whose consequences for our personal lives, our societies and international relations are still completely unresolved. On the one hand, the crisis and, in parti- cular, the governmental measures responding to it are aggravating pre-existing inequalities and oppression. Exposure to danger and access to support is determined by class, race and gender, as well as one’s position in the global economy. On the other hand, feminists continue to organize worldwide to make these problems visible and to increase the atten- tion currently paid to caring work and sustaining life and to use this for progressive initiatives. The contributions collected in this volume have emerged from a debate on feminist expectations of internationalism at the Feminist Futures Festival in September 2019 in Essen, Germany. That debate took place in a context in which feminist movements in different countries of the world were becoming increasingly loud and numerous and were also internationally connected to one other. Is this debate still relevant in the current situation? The answer is clearly yes. The contributions show that even in the past, of so-called normality, feminist struggles never took place without resis- tance and opposition, and yet movements and networks have developed that are no longer easily destroyed. That is why they continue to work even during this global pandemic. In these times, when the nation state is reappearing as it has not done for a long time and yet does not help many people, numerous feminist movements are exchanging experiences about local practices and are thus also giving impulses, inspiration and strength to more and more feminists.
