Resumen

PICUN, Olga. Jacobo Kostakowsky en México: una aproximación al contexto musical de los años treinta. An. Inst. Investig. Estét [online]. 2006, vol.28, n.88, pp.169-202. ISSN 0185-1276.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iie.18703062e.2006.88.2211.

Although the theme of the autonomy of music and art has been discussed exhaustively, we are constantly faced by facts and circumstances that question this proposition. Consequently, while the figure of Kostakowsky constitutes the axis of this work, it also strives to transcend his individuality to enter a space of social, asymmetric, dynamic and relatively autonomous interaction through the reflections on music of Pierre Bourdieu. As all studies constitute a partial, predefined vision, I propose to contextualize Kostakowsky within this field based on his professional performance and, above all, by analyzing two fundamental themes related to the 1930s: the construction of a national identity as part of the post revolutionary nation-state project and the conflicts arising between different political factions, as expressed in the musical sphere.
