The study of these elements can lead us to a better understanding of the way music works as a human activity and, also, it can help us notice the contrasts between its various ways of conceptualization. The analysis of rhythm, and more precisely, of the so called asymmetric rhythm, is particularly interesting because, after reviewing the different theories that have been developed in the academic field of music, we reach different points of view that are linked to different musicological models and, therefore, can even be in conflict. Taking the approaches of ethnomusicology as a starting point, this work aims to clarify the links. Toda actividad musical, incluidos los elementos que intervienen en su construcción social, está estrechamente vinculada a la cultura en la que se manifiesta. El estudio de dichos elementos puede ayudarnos a comprender mejor el funcionamiento de la música como actividad humana y apreciar con mayor detalle el contraste entre sus distintas formas de conceptualización. El análisis del ritmo, y más concretamente del llamado ritmo asimétrico, resulta de especial interés porque, tras un repaso de las diversas teorías desarrolladas en el ámbito académico, nos sitúa ante perspectivas que responden a diferentes paradigmas musicológicos y que en consecuencia, pueden resultar hasta contradictorias. Partiendo de los planteamientos de la etnomusicología y de la antropología cultural, este artículo pretende aportar algo de luz sobre las relaciones entre uso y conceptualización del ritmo asimétrico en el ámbito de la música popular urbana. Toda a atividade musical, assim como os elementos que intervêm na sua construção social, está intrinsecamente vinculada à cultura na que se manifesta. O estudo desses elementos pode ajudar-nos a compreender melhor o funcionamento da música enquanto atividade humana e apreciar com maior detalhe o contraste entre as suas distintas formas de conceptualização. A análise do ritmo, e mais concretamente do chamado ritmo assimétrico, é particularmente interessante pois a revisão das diversas teorias desenvolvidas no âmbito acadêmico sobre o assunto, situa-nos ante perspectivas que respondem a diferentes paradigmas musicológicos e que podem mesmo ser conflituantes. Partindo dos enfoques da etnomusicologia e da antropologia cultural, este artigo procura clarificar as relações entre o uso e a conceptualização do ritmo assimétrico no âmbito da música popular urbana. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/oidopensante/article/view/7511 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/oidopensante/article/view/7511/6723 El oído pensante; Vol. 4 No. 2 (2016): Agosto 2016 - Enero 2017 El oído pensante; Vol. 4 Núm. 2 (2016): Agosto 2016 - Enero 2017 El oído pensante; v. 4 n. 2 (2016): Agosto 2016 - Enero 2017 2250-7116 Amalgama vs. Aksak.
