| Sumario: | Published in our country during the ‘boom of folklore’, Folklore magazine was an essential chain gear of the cultural industry mechanisms. However, a more detailed analysis of its discourse reveals two contradictory movements, as an inevitable effect derived from the tensions they crystallize. On the one hand, an impulse of inclusion where the differences seem to be liquefied as part of the same and homogeneous phenomenon, the one of "our music"; in pursuit of the construction of an identitarian image or "national being" suitable for the demands of a growing market. But on the other hand, the magazine was also a promoter of a clear impulse of exclusion in the hands of the so-called "Science of Folklore" and its authorized specialists, folklorologists, consisted of an attempt to establish the limits and scope of Folklore as national heritage. Costa y Mozejko (2001 y 2002) propose to look into the production conditions in order to find the explanatory hypotheses of the strategies which, consciously or unconsciously, guide each social agent's discourse practices. The inclusion and exclusion impulses in the magazine, could be considered as specific production conditions traces related to the development of the folklore field, and they might help us to understand the constant “rhetoric of loss” that characterize this discourse. |
