Abstract

LOPEZ, Irene. Identity and rural life in Salta modern folklore. Andes [online]. 2014, vol.25, n.1, pp.00-00. ISSN 1668-8090.

In this paper we propose to analyze the representations of the rural space and of the gaucho that emerge in songs by Gustavo "Cuchi" Leguizamón and Manuel J. Castilla and José Juan Botelli, together with José Ríos and Guillermo Villegas, with the aim to show the articulation between these discursive constructions and their ideological bases, ie. from what perspectives are expressed  as well as the identity discourses that support them. At first, we review the representations configured from identity discourses that sustain and reproduce a particular hegemonic situation, both at a national and local level, identifying their ideological bases. This previous analysis allows then to evaluate the location of the representations constructed in the corpus and specify the aspects in which these songs reproduce existing identity representations or construct new or alternative ones, which, simultaneously, allow us to consider the cases in which there are - or not- evidence of hegemonic positions.

Keywords : Social representations; Identity; Folklore; Rurality; Salteñidad.
