| Abstract | |
In this dissertation, I investigate the relationship between Brazilian popular music and North American jazz focusing on the discourses on race, nationality, and culture circulating in Brazil and in the United States between 1920 and 1960. Going through the narratives regarding the construction of "authentic" musical traditions in both countries, I consider not only the sharing of knowledge and practices related to these cultural universes, but the ways in which the intellectuals responsible for such traditions put them in relation to one another. In order to do so, I chose to comprehend the social production of the category "popular music" from a transnational standpoint, in which the hierarchical principles and regimes of historicity are apprehended in the broader spectrum of power asymmetries regarding subjects positioned in terms of race, gender, class, and nationality differences. Moreover, I focused on the interrelations between popular music and understudied analytic dimensions such as gender and race performativities, images of artists, domesticity, consumption of alcoholic beverages, and the constitution of oral history archives located in Brazil and the United States (AU) | |
