The Territoriality: Beyond Geographical Space
Abstract
This study is an argumentative essay, based on the thesis of Marc Augé (1993), about the anthropological place, defined as a place charged with meaning and where practices that are shared by those who converge in it congregate. The methods used were text ethnography and content analysis; resorting to the musical narratives of three Zulian gaitas, whose authors highlight their spaces and characters as a reference of their collective identity, as well as to the interview to specialists, contrasting it with the theory approached in the aforementioned analysis. Regarding the place-identity relationship, the starting point was the question: who conditions whom? And taking into consideration Durkheim's (1898) theory of collective representations, Augé's (1993) anthropological place, and García Gavidia's (1996) symbolic codes, it was possible to conclude that the anthropological place and music are part of the codes used by man to establish his social identity; therefore, they condition their identity, thus answering the question formulated above.
