%0 Journal Article %T Entre ritual y espect¨¢culo, reflexividad corporizada en el candombe %A Rodr¨ªguez %A Manuela %J Av£¿£¿ %D 2009 %I Scientific Electronic Library Online %X this paper analyses the candombe dance from montevideo to reconstruct a kind of reflexivity present in a festivity performance which is, in terms of space and time, halfway between the ritual and the spectacle, and where the corporal aspect plays a fundamental role. the term embodied reflexivity is used to characterize a kind of transforming reflexivity in subjectivities, which takes place no only in conscience but in a "total" subject. from an approach that intertwines a phenomenological with a structural analysis of established representations in black uruguayan women, we aim to understand the re-articulation or the signifiers in practices and discourses, mainly in the re-formulation the performance makes possible. as a liminal event that allows a sensory-perceptive opening, the candombe dance produces subjective transformations in dancers, primarily because this experience involves body participation and a peculiar kind of embodied reflexivity. %K embodied reflexivity %K performance %K candombe %K dance. %U http://www.scielo.org.ar/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S1851-16942009000100008&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
