O revivalismo do fiddle na Galiza: ativismo, sustentabilidade e transformação social
This ethnomusicological study focuses on the dynamics that have taken place around the fiddle in Galicia during the 21st century. One of these dynamics was the creation of the Asociación Cultural Galicia Fiddle in 2010. Since then, the fiddle in Galicia, specifically in the province of Pontevedra, has undergone a process of intertwining that has been studied in this thesis using the theoretical model of the planetary turn (Elias and Moraru 2015).
Within the panorama of traditional and folk music in Galicia in the 21st century, Galicia Fiddle has created a constellation of musicians around the violin, based on values such as artivism, ecology, and the declassification of fixed categories that do not fit the dynamic flows of this century. Through a series of concrete actions, they have developed an expansive route to and from Galicia, which includes both musicians from Galicia and other latitudes. Together, they have participated in constructing an imagined community around the concept of folk music.
This study comprises a synchronic perspective around the analysis of events from the viewpoint of autoethnography and the ‘researcher-musician’ (Wong 2008). There is also a diachronic perspective, which includes the study of historical contexts and events related to the dynamics analyzed. To carry out this research, I used the ethnographic method through participant observation at fiddle concerts, festivals, courses, and conferences.
