| description | This article deals with the case of the indigenous street musician from Oaxaca, Rey Oh Beyve to suggest a debate concerning the representation of the subaltern using the aural and historiographical dimensions. Connecting my own listening experience of his songs with the nascent field of aural studies, I debate the aesthetic marginalization of his music. I use concepts such as “aesthetics of purification” (Ochoa, 2006, 2014), “hearing encounters” (escucha del encuentro) (García, 2012) and “aural abjection” (Alegre y Hernández, 2018) as recourses to scrutinize the role of listening in intersubjective mechanisms of cultural disidentification. I make use of postcolonial critique to question the traditional forms of representation such as press news, audiovisual registers and photographs to debate their use in the selection of the material that makes up an archive. I conclude that the musical activity of this man tensions the frames of recognition (Butler) and that the unintelligibility of his performance in the streets can nonetheless be interpreted as a case of agency policy. |

Los músicos callejeros son personajes públicos que mediante la praxis musical en el espacio público ayudan a construir las memorias culturales urbanas y con ello, el sentido de arraigo a una cultura geo-localizada. Sin embargo, las nociones dominantes de trabajo los ha hecho objeto de representaciones sociales degradantes. Este es un estudio de caso de carácter documental que ofrece una reflexión historiográfica. Recurro a las grabaciones de Rey Oh Beyve, músico callejero indígena del centro de Oaxaca, disponibles en Internet Archive, y elaboro un análisis musical-literario de carácter tradicional a fin de proponer un debate sobre la construcción de la marginalidad estética de las canciones de Rey Oh Beyve, Me valgo también de registros audio-visuales y fotográficos de este cantante para debatir el tema general de las representaciones sociales de los músicos callejeros y el subalterno, y el tema particular de la construcción de la marginalidad de este cantante indígena Oaxaqueño. Debato los usos de estos registros para fines de escritura histórica y vinculo el concepto “marcos de reconocimiento” propuesto por Judith Butler (2009) y el concepto de subalteridad de Gayatri Spivak (1988 y 1999). Recurro a los estudios de performance (Taylor, 2003) a fin de analizar cómo la actividad musical de este personaje tensionó las expectativas de la cultura dominante y concluyo que la ininteligibilidad de su performance puede no obstante ser interpretada como una forma de agencia política. 2019-09-01 2022-03-22T18:11:23Z 2022-03-22T18:11:23Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion historiografía postcolonial, pensamiento crítico, estéticas decoloniales, estudios sensoriales urbanos http://www.culturayrs.unam.mx/index.php/CRS/article/view/631 10.28965/2019-27-10 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/88803 spa http://www.culturayrs.unam.mx/index.php/CRS/article/view/631/pdf http://www.culturayrs.unam.mx/index.php/CRS/article/view/631/1082 http://www.culturayrs.unam.mx/index.php/CRS/article/downloadSuppFile/631/138 http://www.culturayrs.unam.mx/index.php/CRS/article/downloadSuppFile/631/139 http://www.culturayrs.unam.mx/index.php/CRS/article/downloadSuppFile/631/140 http://www.culturayrs.unam.mx/index.php/CRS/article/downloadSuppFile/631/141 Copyright (c) 2019 Natalia Bieletto https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf application/xml Oaxaca, Oaxaca, México época contemporánea Estudio sustentado en fuentes documentales comoprensa, registros audiovisuales, cyberetnografía, fotografías Cultura y Representaciones Sociales Cultura y Representaciones Sociales; Vol. 14, Núm. 27 (2019); 309-347 ISSN 2007-8110 |
