It argues that beginning in the early 1920s a nationalist movement in music emerged, which was not only determined by but also determinant in the construction of a concept of nationhood. The movement took place at a crucial time when the country had entered a process of economic transformation. The shift in Venezuela’s economic system from agrarian to industrial in the 1910s triggered a reconfiguration of the country’s social and cultural structures.

  • Alejandro Bruzual: La Guitarra En Venezuela. Desde Sus Orígenes Hasta Nuestros Días
    TRANS 17 (2013) RESEÑAS/ REVIEWS Alejandro Bruzual: La guitarra en Venezuela. Desde sus orígenes hasta nuestros días. Caracas: Banco Central de Venezuela. 2013. 385 pp. 302 ilustraciones, ISBN: 978-980- 394-073-7. Reseña de Julio Mendívil – Fundación Universidad de Hildesheim, Alemania. En Cómo se hace una tesis Umberto Eco (1993) advierte a los jóvenes estudiantes los peligros propios de temas panorámicos, aduciendo que estos se prestan fácilmente a las omisiones y requieren, por lo general, de un profundo conocimiento histórico y de agudeza crítica, dotes inusuales en el neófito. Un libro con una temática tan vasta como el que nos ofrece el venezolano Alejandro Bruzual podría despertar en el lector, desde un principio, cierta desconfianza. ¿Habrá considerado realmente todo lo que debe contener un libro que lleva tal título? La interrogante se justifica. Pero a diferencia de los estudiantes a los que se dirige el semiólogo italiano, Alejandro Bruzual no es un advenedizo. Sus señas no pueden ser mejores: Bruzual es doctor en Literaturas Latinoamericanas (2006) por la Universidad de Pittsburgh, Pensilvania.
