Resumen
La presente investigación estudia las instancias comunicacionales en el baile del candombe
porteño -práctica emblemática de la cultura afroporteña que persistió a diversas formas de
represión y silenciamiento a lo largo de la historia-, a partir de realizar un abordaje
etnográfico en el marco de la Asociación Civil Misibamba, ubicada en la zona oeste de
Buenos Aires y cuyos integrantes se reconocen como afroargentinas y afroargentinos ‘del
tronco colonial’. Indagaremos los modos actuales en que las corporalidades se configuran en
el baile, explorando en sus movimientos y gestualidades, los significantes que operan en la
reestructuración de sus procesos identitarios. Para ello, revisaremos las disputas presentes en
los diferentes contextos sociales donde el candombe porteño fue desarrollándose a lo largo
del siglo XIX y XX (organizaciones comunitarias, carnavales, bailes en espacios públicos y
privados) buscando identificar en los gestos corporales las marcas de otros géneros con los
que se fue relacionando en diferentes escenarios. Estos elementos y sus huellas actuales,
echarán luz sobre el potencial de ciertos rasgos desestimados del candombe como manera de
resistencia y/o reconocimiento socio-cultural.
This research studies the communication aspects of the Buenos Aires candombe dance - emblematic practice of Afro-Porteño culture that persisted through various forms of repression and silencing throughout history- based on an ethnographic approach to the Misibamba Civil Association, located in the western area of Buenos Aires and whose members recognize themselves as Afro-Argentines 'of the colonial trunk'. We will investigate the current ways in which corporalities are configured in dance, exploring in their movements and gestures, the signifiers that operate in the restructuring of their identity processes. To do this, we will review the disputes present in the different social contexts where Buenos Aires candombe developed throughout the 19th and 20th centuries (community organizations, carnivals, dances in public and private spaces) seeking to identify in body gestures marks of other genres with which it interacted in different scenarios. These elements and their current traces will shed light on the potential of certain neglected features of candombe as a way of resistance and/or socio-cultural recognition.
