Este tonto cuerpo que danza: reflexiones estéticas en el movimiento, el cuerpo y los instrumentos del poder

Abstract

This essay pretends to develop and search an aesthetic analysis about dance, and its relations with social, cultural, political, and economics implications. There are three dances: Samba, Salsa, and Reggaetón. These culture‟s phenomena are tied with the symbolic human world; besides, the movements of these dances are not only the effect of historical, cultural and artistic reasons, but for the causes of thepower relationships inside the actually capitalism environment. In this order, I develop the following concept: kinaesthetic, or critical interpretation of the movement in dance. The movement is, in consequent, a complex of symbolical reasons from the social and geostrategic area where people are located, in this field, America Latina.
