Resumen
El texto reflexiona sobre el papel de la música como herramienta de representación y mediación en contextos de conflicto, tomando como ejemplo la relación entre Daniel Barenboim y Edward Said. Said, defensor de los derechos palestinos, utilizó las artes, incluida la música, para aliviar tensiones y fomentar el entendimiento entre comunidades. Este enfoque, analizado por Olivier Urbain, plantea una pregunta clave: ¿puede la música contribuir a resolver conflictos políticos? Aunque extensamente estudiada, la relación entre música y conflicto sigue siendo relevante para académicos y gobiernos, que ven en ella un medio para promover valores y reconciliación. En el contexto latinoamericano, el volumen examina cómo la música, frente a las presiones del colonialismo, la globalización y el neoliberalismo, ha servido para resistir, representar y articular identidades comunitarias. Sin embargo, muestra también cómo expresiones culturales son marginadas por la violencia y el miedo, dificultando la auto-representación. El libro explora estos temas en cuatro secciones: interacciones interétnicas tras la Conquista; música y acción política; simbolismo y representación; y comunidades en conflicto. En cada ensayo, se destaca cómo la música genera intercambios simbólicos y reconfigura procesos sociales, invitando a un análisis más allá del capital simbólico y hacia nuevas herramientas teóricas para comprender el conflicto.
The text reflects on the role of music as a tool for representation and mediation in conflict contexts, using the relationship between Daniel Barenboim and Edward Said as an example. Said, a staunch advocate for Palestinian rights, employed the arts, including music, to ease tensions and foster understanding between communities. This approach, analyzed by Olivier Urbain, raises a critical question: can music contribute to resolving political conflicts? Although the relationship between music and conflict has been widely studied, it remains relevant for scholars and governments who view it as a means of promoting values and reconciliation. In the Latin American context, the volume examines how music, under the pressures of colonialism, globalization, and neoliberalism, has served as a medium for resistance, representation, and the articulation of communal identities. It also highlights how cultural expressions are often marginalized by violence and fear, hindering self-representation. The book explores these themes in four sections: interethnic interactions following the Conquest; music and political action; symbolism and representation; and communities in conflict. Each essay emphasizes how music fosters symbolic exchanges and reconfigures social processes, inviting an analysis that goes beyond symbolic capital to develop new theoretical tools for understanding conflict.
