Abstract

Since the end of the last century, carnival groups called murgas spread abroad the country, giving rise to the formation of new identities that had a strong youth participation.

In this article, we locate some spaces of transformation of the murguero gender, its teaching and practice, and some effects of its incorporation in diverse agendas, both official and community. Various actors that activated these lines of cultural action entered the murga in the cultural dynamics of the new century; on the one hand, they promoted official recognition and claimed resources, on the other, they crossed the carnival genre with the cultural industries, - recording discs, publishing books, filling theaters, creating new murgueros and new festivities. In this article, we analyze the relationship of these carnival arts with the cultural policies that promoted their safeguard within the patrimonialist paradigm.
