CITRO, Silvia; BROGUET, Julia; RODRIGUEZ, Manuela  and  TORRES AGUERO, Soledad. Indigenous and afrodescendant performances in Argentina: sound-corporal recreations of the “ancestral”. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2021, vol.57, n.2, pp.19-45.  Epub July 01, 2021. ISSN 0486-6525.  https://doi.org/10.22380/2539472x.1090.

Based on public policies of the Argentine State in relation to indigenous and Afro-descendant people we examine how the cultural policies of the provinces of Formosa and Santa Fe, especially during 2003-2015, tended to make visible and enhance the “ancient” performances of these groups. We will analyze how to face the multicultural interpellations of performing ethnic-racial identities before the hegemonic society, the performers were encouraged to select, recreate, and spectacularize certain sounds, movements and images to be found both in embodied repertoires and in archives. We also explore how in these sound and corporal recreation processes of memories new archives are created with the political-cultural intention to safeguard and legitimate certain versions of the ethnic-racial identity positions.

Keywords : multiculturalism; performances; ethnic-racial identities; cultural policies.
