Abstract

This article studies the present reformulations of the concept of popular culture as deriving from the anthropological concept of culture. Then, it gives an account of the context from which a particular kind of reformulation of the term sprung, which makes the analysis of the phenomenon autonomous, taking it beyond the study of social structure. This proposition oríginates in the work of the sociologist Pedro Morandé and the anthropologist Manuel Marzal, whos e work clearly widen the limits of the concept of popular culture. The anthropological category of "ethnic group" complements the previous proposition, to give shape to new conceptual limits in the analysis of the phenomenon, having as its final aim to contribute to the debate about the concept of Latinoamerican popular art as the aesthetic expression of the peoples of our continent.
