  • Cenas Musicais Em Manchester: Passado-Presente
    revista Fronteiras – estudos midiáticos 17(3):332-340 setembro/dezembro 2015 Unisinos – doi: 10.4013/fem.2015.173.07 Cenas musicais em Manchester: passado-presente Music scenes in Manchester: present-past Fabrício Silveira1 RESUMO Apresenta-se aqui um relato eminentemente pessoal, de caráter empírico, sobre algumas entradas de campo realizadas em Manchester, no norte da Inglaterra, entre fevereiro e maio de 2015, em uma investigação mais ampla sobre as cenas musicais locais. Procuramos dar destaque a eventos e casos colocados lateralmente em relação ao mainstream da indústria fonográfica hegemônica. É uma discussão, portanto, sobre rock independente, sobre ocorrências e estruturações sociais em curso no circuito underground. São apresentados materiais que nos permitem especular também sobre as relações entre os imaginários urbanos e as memórias produzidas (ou fixadas) pela música pop. É uma discussão, enfim, sobre as tensões entre o passado e o presente da música alternativa produzida na região. Palavras-chave: Manchester, cenas musicais, música independente, rock alternativo. ABSTRACT What is presented here is an eminently personal narrative, of empirical character, about some field entries taken place in Manchester, Northern England, between February and May of 2015, in a broader investigation about local music scenes. We aimed at highlighting events and laterally-placed cases in relation to the mainstream of the hegemonic phonographic industry. It is therefore a discussion about independent rock, about social occurrences and acts of structuring happening underway in the underground circuit. The materials presented are ones which allow us to speculate also about the relations between urban imaginaries and produced (or fixed) memories by pop music.
