Abstract

BATTEZZATI, Santiago. Educated within a lineage: the case of theater students of the realist circuit in Buenos Aires. Etnográfica [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.3, pp.739-752. ISSN 0873-6561.  https://doi.org/10.4000/etnografica.7544.

Recently, many urban anthropologists have described how people learn some corporal practices by moving along the city. Also, some studies have underlined the existence of specific circuits. Based on an ethnographic research, this paper will analyze a specific circuit between theater students in the city of Buenos Aires. I will show that, for the “realist” circuit, students choose their teachers not only with esthetic criteria or depending on the teaching method. Instead, they look for teachers that belong to a particular lineage. This can be explained in the context of a certain collective memory in which students are socialized while learning theater with teachers of a certain lineage.

Keywords : circuit; theater; performance; lineage; collective memory.
