Description
Summary:The relationship between rock musicians and state agencies has been in our country historically dynamic, intermittent changeable. An epochal climate that began in the years 2000, both in Argentina and Latin America, characterized by demands for democratic-participatory cultural policies, resulted in a change in the link between cultural makers and state agents. Looking to contribute to the debate around the design and implementation of these policies, this article aims to analyze the logics, legitimacies, and existing disputes in the relationship between rock musicians from the city of La Plata and local state agencies. To do this, we will start from a set of cultural policies that took place during 2016 and 2017 that allowed us to see articulation processes between both actors, as well as instances of tension, consensus and repositioning. The research was developed based on a qualitative methodological strategy, applying different data collection and production techniques, such as in-depth interviews, participant observation, cartography, shadowing (Jirón, 2012) and survey and analysis of primary and secondary sources.
