| Sumario: | The field of Folklore was historically a space of articulation between nationalist movements, substantialist ideologies about national identities and the construction of national projects. These discussions were in Argentina as well where the linkage between certain ways of conceptualizing Folklore resulted in a correspondence between an iconography and a repertoire of expressive forms with an idea of national identity. Beginning in the 1970s, some of the foundations on which Folklore studies had been founded and developed in the country began to be rethought. In that context, Martha Blache proposed a reformulation of some of the concepts established in a double dialogic interaction: with social scientists located in the academy and with folklorologists located in artistic training institutions. This article analyzes three nodal issues that Blache addressed in her writings: 1-the link between Folklore and nationalism, 2-the definition of the concept of Folklore and 3-the relationship between Folklore and identity. It also proposes guidelines for further discussion based on these proposals made in the last quarter of the 20th century. |
