La cultura de masas, especialmente la m迆sica popular ligada al mercado, se configura por su amplia capacidad de difusi車n -revelada en sus variadas formas de producci車n, circulaci車n y consumo- como uno de los principales campos de disputa en torno de lo nacional. En ese per赤odo, en Brasil y en Chile son importantes las discusiones acerca de la selecci車n, preservaci車n y perpetuaci車n de un determinado repertorio de la m迆sica popular urbana como representante de la m迆sica folcl車rica nacional. Estas discusiones, analizadas a partir de las representaciones discursivas vehiculadas por la prensa escrita especializada, tanto acad谷mica como de gran circulaci車n, constituyen la problem芍tica central de este art赤culo. At the middle of the twentieth century, between the forties and the fifties, especially after the Second World War, the endless debate concerning national identity was taken up again in Latin America with a new focus. Mass culture, especially popular music with ties to the music industry, was shaped by its great capacity to spread-shown through its assorted forms of production, circulation and consumption- as one of the main areas of dispute related to the question of what is considered to be national. During that period there were important debates in Brazil and Chile about the selection, preservation and perpetuation of a certain repertoire of popular urban music as being representative of national folk music. These debates, which are analyzed starting from discursive representations driven by the written press, in both the specialized academic and the large-circulation press, constitute the central focus of this article. %K m迆sica popular %K m迆sica folcl車rica %K modernidad %K identidad nacional %K popular music %K folk music %K tradition %K modernity %K national identity %U http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0717-71942012000100002
