Main Article Content

Abstract

The article focuses on the analysis of the new cultural places raised within contemporary society, which affects musical expressions attached to aboriginal cultures in Chile. The article claims that, next to the socio-aesthetical Diasporas of indigenous musical performance, a parallel shift is being produced, from ritualistic places to spaces where no artistic expressions had been before hypermodernity. This reconfi guration of space is a new challenge to Ethnomusicology because nowadays, not only the study of new forms of ethnic art in an intercultural context is required, but also the inclusion of the anthropological place. This modifi es the aspects (and specters) of oral art and relocates the researcher in a new coordinate, the «non-place».
