- W2891721760 abstract "Can women form a murga? This was debated in the media during the 2012 carnival season in Uruguay as women gained a new space in the folk performance art, murga. Known as the most popular carnival art in Uruguay, and “the voice of the people,” historically, murga has been nearly exclusively a male space. Only in the last fifteen to twenty five years have women slowly been incorporated, this shift culminated by the presentation of the first all-female murga in the official carnival competition of 2012. This investigation, based on interviews and ethnographic research, aims to understand why women have been excluded, how changes towards inclusion have come about and how this art is a potential tool of empowerment to make gains in gender equity. Murga is a popular performance art that satirizes and entertains through a polyphonic choir, sings, dances and parodies events of the previous year. Over a century old, murga is the largest performance category, which sells more tickets than an entire season of soccer and basketball combined. For the better part of the 20th century, murga was a form of entertainment for working class men, especially paperboys. The characteristic nasal sound of murga draws from the tactics of traditional street vendors who project and preserve their voice with a specific timbre. Closely tied to spheres of power such as politics, media and business, murga allows performers to express opinions and expose taboos on a national stage, providing women a renewed, but contested ground for expression and agency. As a marker of national and collective identity, murga is a significant cultural icon that parallels soccer and theater in many ways, but differs in its capacity for direct social criticism before a large public, elements which are especially important for marginalized groups. Government led initiatives are partly responsible for the growing inclusion of women. While progressive changes have been made, there is much room for further incorporation of women into this genre and related spaces of power. ( en )" @default.
