Abstract

This research analyzes the Mangue [Mangroove] as a cultural phenomenon that distinguishes itself from other local, national and world cultural activities in relation to time and space. As Mangues characteristics may be thought in the same fashion of other cultural aspects that characterize our present time, its possibilities of distinction are analyzed from two distinct perspectives: the formation of identities and the relation between Mangue and the phonographic industry. I assume the hypothesis that the Mangue presents modern, post-modern and global facets, and discuss them from the perspective of arts and the relation between arts, economy and politics. Finally, the analysis suggests that these different temporalities are not mutually exclusive, but concur with each other, rearranging the relation between the parts in order to keep the whole at work (AU)
