"Ciwewe". Culture and Power...
This article analyzes the political potential of culture and subjectivity from one of several cokwe songs collected by a diamonds enterprise named Diamang in the Northeast of Angola during Portuguese colonial rule. Drawing from ethnographic data from Angolan oral history and Portuguese colonial archives, and taking into account post-colonial perspectives and contemporary anthropological studies, I would like to reflect about the relation between power, culture and subjectivity in contexts of colonial oppression and subalternity. I suggest that the analysis on music (and on related cultural expressions as dance, song and poetry) performed in the rural settings in Angola during the colonial rule, and on the subjectivity around and from it, is crucial to understand a distinctive practice of a culture and history and, at the same time, the Angolan engagements within new colonial realities which occurred through ambiguous and complex logics made by interwoven dynamics of control and resistance
Este artículo analiza las potencialidades políticas de la cultura y de la subjetividad a partir de una canción cokwe registrada y grabada, entre muchas otras, en el noreste de Angola en el año 1955 por la empresa de diamantes Diamang. A partir de los datos etnográficos resultantes del trabajo de campo, basados en la historia oral de Angola y en fuentes de archivos coloniales portugueses, y mediante perspectivas de estudios postcoloniales y de antropología crítica, pretendo reflexionar sobre la relación entre el poder, la cultura y la subjetividad en contextos de opresión colonial y de subalternidad. Sugiero que el análisis centrado en la música (y en expresiones culturales asociadas como el baile, el canto y la poesía) -realizadas en el interior rural de Angola durante el período colonial, y en las subjetividades que la envuelven y de las que emergen-, es crucial para la comprensión no sólo de una práctica particular y distintiva de una cultura y su historia, sino también sobre la participación de las comunidades angoleñas en las nuevas realidades coloniales que resultan en lógicas complejas y ambiguas, en las cuales se entrelazan dinámicas de control y de resistencia
