Memory and History in Argentine Popular Music
Monograph
Memory and History in Argentine Popular Music delves into the music of the 1990s and early 2000s, reflecting on Argentina’s 2001 socioeconomic crisis. Focusing on tango, rock chabón, and cumbia villera, it analyzes lyrics that encapsulate daily life and the impact of neoliberal policies. The book argues that these are canciones con historia, that serve as historical records, intertwining personal narratives with collective experiences. Additionally, it explores how the internet shapes memory, transforming digital spaces into ‘virtual sites of memory.’

La fragmentación, discontinuidad y polifonía son características de la memoria (individual, colectiva, o histórica), que intentan reconstruir, y hasta, rectificar el trauma causado por eventos históricos, mientras posibilita formular y mantener una memoria colectiva viva. La novela, a su vez, se convierte en un productor de memoria donde un resultado diferente para aquellos afectados por la crisis socioeconómica del 2001.

EloÃsa Cartonera, founded in Buenos Aires in 2003 by a group of artists and writers, established the cartoneras as an alternative publishing house. This project was named after the recycled cardboard bought from cartoneros (waste-paper collectors) that was cut, shaped, and individually hand painted and designed to make every copy unique. Cartoneras are characterized by their socio-cultural engagement of their editors, who seek independence from traditional editorial standards with regards to both the type of literature published and the artisanal format of their editions. Donated by Librería de Antonio, University of Miami Libraries holds sixteen titles in their Collection.
