Entre ritual y espectáculo, reflexividad corporizada en el candombeKeywords: embodied reflexivity, performance, candombe, dance. Abstract: 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.
