I28-R145-13411_oai2025-11-17 Signorelli, Mariana Lorena Signorelli, Mariana Lorena 2024-05-27 The Argentine folk dance malambo was historically consolidated during the 20th century as an exclusively masculine dance, but today both this dance and other folkloric manifestations are re-signified and updated through different artistic proposals. This paper presents three cases of contemporary dance works and an audiovisual that question canonized representations of gender in malambo and Argentine folk dances in general: Adentro! by Diana Szeinblum (2016), La era del cuero by Pablo Rotemberg (2022), Ingaucho (2020–2023) by Mauro Dann, and the music video for “¿Querían malambo?” by Nickytuns/Issi Records (2022). The paper also connects Susan Leigh Foster’s “Choreographies of Gender” (1998) and Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble (1990, 1999) with the notion of reenactment proposed by Franko and Vallejos (2021) within dance studies. The theoretical categories of intersectional feminisms, especially from the perspective of queer/cuir studies, allow us to analyze the functioning of dissidence, disobedience, parody, or reaffirmation of gender in the mentioned works. They also allow us to observe how historically constructed conventions exert symbolic violence and how the stage becomes a space of contestation in the construction (and deconstruction) of meanings about the national. Si bien la danza folklórica argentina malambo fue consolidándose históricamente durante el siglo XX como una danza exclusivamente masculina, en la actualidad tanto esta danza como varias manifestaciones folklóricas tradicionales son resignificadas y actualizadas a través de diferentes propuestas artísticas. En este trabajo se presentan cuatro casos que ponen en tensión las representaciones genéricas canonizadas de la danza folklórica argentina malambo. Las obras de danza que se analizan son: Adentro! de Diana Szeinblum (2016), La era del cuero de Pablo Rotemberg (2022), Ingaucho (2020-23) de Mauro Dann y el videoclip ¿Querían malambo? de Nickytuns/Issi Records (2022). Nos proponemos revisar en dichas obras las nociones de “coreografía de género” que plantea Foster (1998) y “subversión de género” en el sentido de Butler (1990, 1999) articulándolas con la noción de renactement que desde los estudios de danza proponen Franko y Vallejos (2021). Además, consideraremos categorías y conceptos del abordaje teórico de los feminismos interseccionales, en especial los estudios de la Teoría Queer/cuir, que servirán a los fines de este trabajo para observar cómo funcionan las disidencias, desobediencias, parodias o reafirmaciones de género en las obras mencionadas y cómo las convenciones construidas históricamente ejercen violencias simbólicas tan necesarias de visibilizar y deconstruir. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/13411 10.34096/tdf.n39.13411 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/13411/13198 telondefondo.

The Argentine folk dance malambo was historically consolidated during the 20th century as an exclusively masculine dance, but today both this dance and other folkloric manifestations are re-signified and updated through different artistic proposals. This paper presents three cases of contemporary dance works and an audiovisual that question canonized representations of gender in malambo and Argentine folk dances in general: Adentro! by Diana Szeinblum (2016), La era del cuero by Pablo Rotemberg (2022), Ingaucho (2020–2023) by Mauro Dann, and the music video for “¿Querían malambo?” by Nickytuns/Issi Records (2022). The paper also connects Susan Leigh Foster’s “Choreographies of Gender” (1998) and Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble (1990, 1999) with the notion of reenactment proposed by Franko and Vallejos (2021) within dance studies. The theoretical categories of intersectional feminisms, especially from the perspective of queer/cuir studies, allow us to analyze the functioning of dissidence, disobedience, parody, or reaffirmation of gender in the mentioned works. They also allow us to observe how historically constructed conventions exert symbolic violence and how the stage becomes a space of contestation in the construction (and deconstruction) of meanings about the national. |
