| Sumario: | This article reconstructs a group of spaces, circuits and musical scenesdeveloped at the beginning of the 19th century in the city of Buenos Aires toinvestigate how political power intervened and to use them as a tool todisseminate enlightened ideals and spaces of sociability through which toreform the customs of the elite.The exploratory and unstable nature of the musical and theatrical culturemeans that the approach and the use of sources for the reconstruction of the spaces are diverse and dissimilar-government papers, police records, press. However the diversity of the spaces, there is evidence of a discursivecontinuity around the organization of the social space and the control of theinteraction links displayed in them. Specifically, all the spaces linked to musicand the Theater were developed in close relation with three guiding andinterrelated concepts: urbanity, civility and courtesy.In short, a chronology emerges that does not emphasize changes andpolitical-cultural ruptures, but rather demonstrates continuities and overlaps.The conceptualization of music as a practice capable of civilizing the nowcitizens and as a tool to polish and soften customs were some of the premises present in the proposed cut. |
