| Sumario: | Traditional dances have been effective vehicles to give shape to ideas of nation. Within the field of argentine folkloric dances there are two perspectives: the academic-traditional and the expressive-experiential that, from differentiated selective traditions, produce specific national being configurations. The purpose of this work is to analyze spaces for the transmission of dances and to analyze how each current restores a particular idea of nation about the bodies, spaces and affections of dancers. To do this I was part of three workshops that attached to the first current and two that belonged to the second perspective of dance. As a collection technique I used the observant participation, in some workshops I was able to film the classes and in others I took notes in the field diary. I also did five semi-structured interviews with the teachers of the workshops with the aim of reconstructing the field of folk dances, their history, disputes and borders. |
