Abstract:
La danse salsa est une pratique musico-chorégraphique hybride qui entremêle les propriétés techniques et esthétiques à la fois d'une danse, d'un univers culturel, d'un art du spectacle mais aussi d'un genre musical. Le nouveau contexte de la scène au sein de laquelle cette danse populaire évolue s'est avéré déterminant pour la reconnaissance et le développement de la création chorégraphique. Les festivals spécialisés de salsa se sont multipliés à partir des années 2000, invitant les danseurs français à s'approprier une danse venant d'une culture éloignée. Affectée par les facteurs historiques, commerciaux et politiques, la danse salsa voit se modifier les manières de la chorégraphier et de la pratiquer. Les éléments fondamentaux de base de la création chorégraphique tels que le corps, l'espace, le temps, l'énergie sont transgressés par une mixité de styles contrastés et de formes provenant d'imaginaires, de sons ou de gestes. Comment les performances scéniques participent-elles à l'évolution et à la redéfinition de cette pratique ? Que reste-t-il alors de la « salsa traditionnelle » ? À partir d'un travail de terrain en France et dans les Alpes-Maritimes, cette thèse aura pour objet de montrer que cette pratique internationale est marquée par de nombreux débats autour des questions de tradition et modernité du fait de la diversité de ses styles de danse, de ses cultures, de ses moyens de transmission et de diffusion ainsi que de ses pratiquants. L'engagement corporel du danseur dépend de plusieurs facteurs : sa motivation liée au contexte dans lequel il évolue, sa sensibilité par rapport aux choix musicaux, sa capacité physique à exécuter les mouvements corporels et enfin son identification sociale et culturelle<br>Salsa dancing is a hybrid multi-choroegraphical exercise which mixes technical and aesthetical properties from a dance, a cultural universe, a performing art but also a musical genre. The new concept of performing on stage in which this popular dance is evolving was crucial for the recognition and the development of the choreographic creation. The specialized salsa festivals have multiplied in the 2000s, inviting french dancers to appropriate a dance coming from a distant culture. Influenced by historical, commercial and political factors, salsa dancing has seen its practice and choreography change along the time. The basic fundamental elements of the choreographic generation like the body, the space, the time, the energy have been infringed by a diversity of contrasted styles and forms coming from imaginations, sounds or gestures. How stage performances engage into the evolution and the redesign of this practice ? What is left then from the "traditional salsa" ? From the field work in France and in the Alpes-Maritimes, this thesis will have as an objective to show that this international activity is marked by a myriad of discussions and questions between traditions and modernity because of the diversity of dance styles, cultures, transmission and broadcasting mediums and because of its practitioners and performers. The body engagement of the dancer depends on multiple factors : motivation linked to the context in which it evolves, its sensibility with respect to its musical choice, its capacity to execute body moves and, at last, its social and cultural identification

Dance<br>M.A.<br>This thesis investigates Brasil’s Nightclub, a Philadelphia salsa club, as a site at which notions of Latino/a identity are produced and performed. Research for the thesis was conducted over the course of five months and was ethnographic in nature. From February 2016 until June 2016, the author attended Brasil’s Nightclub and collected participant observations and interviews. Findings reveal how the club accommodates multiple conflicting narratives of Latino/a identity and how these narratives are embodied through salsa dance practices.<br>Temple University--Theses

Abstract:
In Montreal, salsa dancing is both an expression of Latin identity and a cultural commodity. Many Montrealers of Latin descent adopt salsa dance as part of their cultural heritage only after arriving in Canada, connecting, through salsa, to a transnational Latin identity that crosses the Americas. This situation illustrates how cultural affiliations are not necessarily fixed, but can be acquired in response to changing circumstances. Since salsa is not indigenous to the city, residents of Montreal can only access it through cultural institutions and community media outlets. This commodification influences the manner in which salsa expresses Latin identity in the city. At the same time that salsa dancing proclaims Latin identity for certain individuals in the city, the practice thrives in a multicultural context: the Montreal salsa scene comprises diverse individuals who promote, teach, and dance salsa. This dissertation addresses points of division and cooperation among diverse cultures, ethnicities, races, and both sexes, as they are played out in aspects of salsa dancing in the city. The unfolding of these relationships is influenced by both the commodification of salsa dancing and its link to Latin culture. This analysis seeks to provide a theoretical account of the tension between salsa's expression of identity and its status as a commodified cultural practice. This perspective integrates various approaches to the study of dance and culture stemming from anthropology, sociology and cultural studies. Analyzing the Montreal salsa scene, I draw from in-depth interviews with individuals involved in the promotion of Latin dance and music, as well as participant observations in salsa dance classes, clubs and events. The methodology of this research combines ethnography with various areas of concern: the history of salsa, Latin immigration patterns in Montreal, theories of multiculturalism, transnationalism and diaspora, the Latin influence in ballroom dance, Europe

Abstract:
Este trabajo de investigación es un aporte etnográfico e histórico sobre la sociedad barcelonesa a través de su cultura, su música y su salsa. Para la realización de esta contribución me he centrado en un sector muy específico de la escena musical salsera identificada con un estilo de salsa que evoca su origen diaspórico, marginado, bravo y el cual ha terminado siendo rememorado, legitimado e identificado como símbolo de alta y heterogénea cultura salsera. Además, un estilo musical que ha adquirido relevancia social en Barcelona a través de diferentes espacios en los que confluyen la sociabilidad festiva, la creación o re-creación musical, la melomanía salsera más y menos profesionalizada, las propuestas de pedagogía bailable y la capacidad emprendedora focalizada en el ocio musical nocturno. Dicho de otro modo, he realizado un análisis de las áreas de afluencia de un estilo de salsa proveniente de barrios latinos de Nueva York, emblemática de los años 1960 y 1970 y monopolizada a través del sello y de las estrellas de la Fania, además representativa de una manera rítmica, imitativa y más bien espontánea de bailar, y he centrado la atención en las sesiones festivas en Barcelona a través del estudio de caso de la fiesta Entren que caben 100. Ahora bien, para que pudiera llegar a este nivel de concreción, fue necesario que detectara que la salsa brava es una más de varias escenas que existen en la capital catalana sujetas a gustos personalizados y a la sociabilidad que se genera en torno a éstos. Además, si he apostado por una mirada diferenciada del escenario salsero, como contenedor de prácticas musicales y como metáfora teatral, es por un doble y amplio ejercicio de subjetividad académica. El de otras personas con sus respectivas miradas investigativas así como vinculaciones musicales, y el propio apostando a un atrevimiento de igual tipo. En este sentido, mi intención ha sido centrarme en una escena hasta ahora un tanto huérfana, inadvertida y escurridiza que me ha servido sobre todo para la experimentación metodológica a través de la incorporación de mi experiencia desdoblada en la investigación. Así pues, la principal problemática que presentó lo que ha sido una afición y mi escenario de estudio fue el de entretejer las múltiples dimensiones de su cualidad nómada, su evocación geográfica, histórica, religiosa y social, así como referenciada en la metáfora globalizadora empleada por el etnomusicólogo Ramón Pelinski para el tango. Exactamente lo que quiero decir, es que primero tuve que caer en cuenta de que la salsa brava en Barcelona es itinerante, se escenifica a través de sesiones festivas que aparecen, desaparecen y cambian de “espacio”; que a través de ésta y otras programaciones se le rende culto a un estilo de salsa cuya época de auge comercial ha quedado anclado en el pasado, qué quienes integran la escena son personas que, por un lado, coquetean con la otredad y, por el otro, gozan de capital simbólico haciendo posible que ciertas músicas marginadas pasen a ser legitimadas. Y mi principal pregunta fue, ¿cómo se materializa y se entreteje todo esto?<br>Despite the historical absence of women in "Entre que caben cien" and of their directing roles in the scene, an interesting aspect of the ethnography is that when they assume a certain visibility within the scene they appear to be more permissible than men regarding the selection of other salsa songs and of other music styles that distance themselves from the so-called "salsa brava", questioning at this point whether the latter really exists, or does it perhaps ceases to be such when it begins to be called like this? This lends us to other significant questions such as to what extent the more one insists on otherness the more one tries to legitimate what he doesn't want to be? While bigger gets the desire for authenticity and alternative, more massive and hegemonic it becomes? While the bigger the quest for own manifestations derived from subaltern and marginalized culture gets, more extended get the petit bourgeois practices that end up disguising or adapting the first to the taste of the second?
