students in the subjects of dance and theater creation (performing arts), in the University of the Arts (Guayaquil, Ecuador) during the second academic period of 2019. The undertaking and processing of semi-structured interviews allowed us to demonstrate the presence of four fundamental elements in the social construction of the artist in this sociocultural context: 1) The determining vocation of the student, 2) The presence of stereotypes associated with art and artists, 3) The family with its fears and hopes, support and opposition, and 4) Society with its specific training opportunities and uncertain possibilities for professional development. In all the students interviewed, the construction of the artist’s “persona” is (or remains) distant from egomaniacal representations, to highlight their selflessness.

This process is beyond the traditional defense of the right to cultural diversity to set a new ethnopolitical discourse aimed at the decolonization of the state and nation project under the Bolivarian revolutionary process. Our paper attempts to make an approach to the analysis of the main factors which have influenced in the identitary construction of "African descent" in the period 1998-2008 in Venezuela. It is based on interviews with leaders and members of Afro Venezuelan organizations, and reviewing literature and various documents which were produced and disseminated by their activists.

Este es el caso de los mitos sobre San Benito, producidos por las comunidades afrodescendientes del sur del Lago de Maracaibo. La puesta en escena de estos mitos en el ritual les ha permitido re-producir y comunicar representaciones colectivas sobre su pasado que niegan el imaginario de dominacion colonial y sus simbolos.

Han sido utilizadas como simbolos de su identidad etnica y lucha social desde tiempos inmemorables. El estudio de los mitos y ritos de estas comunidades, permite conocer sus particulares formas de cultivo espiritual, su construccion de la realidad, sus valores y el sentido trascendental de la vida. En este articulo se describe el uso del paisaje sonoro de la f esta del chimbangueles en la delimitacion del espacio-tiempo, creado para el reencuentro de los afrodescendientes con sus antepasados y dioses, en el sur del Lago de Maracaibo.

Results show the use of this metaphor and that of the Iberian Lion to split the population into Americans and Spaniards and give the war for independence the character of an international war, when the American nation (Gran Colombia) did not yet exist. The metaphor of the centaur of the plains combined the foundational myths of western culture with the symbolic codes of the plainsmen and converted it into a foundational symbol for the Venezuelan nation.

La defensa de estos derechos constitucionales ha generado fuertes tensiones: los Estados de los paises latinoamericanos enfrentan la necesidad de explotar todos los recursos materiales y humanos (indigenas o no) con que cuentan sus paises, a fin de insertarse de manera competitiva en el nuevo ordenamiento internacional de los mercados globalizados. A partir de la experiencia venezolana, analizaremos: 1. La imposibilidad del Estado para garantizar el control de sus mecanismos etnocidas. 2. Como el derecho a la voz que sanciona en el ambito practico la condicion de perso...

La realización y procesamiento de entrevistas semiestructuradas permitió determinar la presencia de cuatro elementos fundamentales en la construcción social del artista en este contexto sociocultural: 1) La determinante vocación del estudiante, 2) La presencia de estereotipos asociados al arte y los artistas, 3) La familia con sus temores y esperanzas, apoyos y oposiciones, y 4) La sociedad con sus concretas oportunidades de formación e inciertas posibilidades para el desarrollo profesional.

The Centaur of the Plains: Its Myths and Symbols in Venezuelan National Identity

The defense of these constitutional rights has produced great tension: the governments of Latin American countries confront the need to exploit all material and humans resources (indigenous and otherwise) in their countries, in order to insert themselves competitively into the new international market structures. From the Venezuelan experience, we analyze: 1. The impossibility of the State to guarantee the control of its own ethno-cidal mechanism; 2. The negation of the rights that sanction on a practical level the condition of human being in the case of indigenous people , turning them into the mute personage typically found in drama and pantomime; 3. The possibilities that indigenous people have to exert their right to give voice to their plight politically on the national and international scene.

Los resultados evidencian la utilización de esta metáfora y la del León Ibérico para escindir la población en americanos y españoles y darle a la guerra de independencia la forma de guerra internacional cuando la nación americana (Gran Colombia) aún no existía. La metáfora del centauro llanero articuló los mitos fundacionales de la cultura occidental con los códigos simbólicos de los llaneros y se convirtió en un símbolo fundacional de la nación venezolana. Palabras clave: General José Antonio Páez, llaneros venezolanos, guerra de independencia.

of identitary reconstruction, structuring new social movements in the
context of hegemonic struggle and political-institutional change in the
country since the late 1990’ decade. This process is beyond the
traditional defense of the right to cultural diversity to set a new ethnopolitical
discourse aimed at the decolonization of the state and nation
project under the Bolivarian revolutionary process. Our paper attempts
to make an approach to the analysis of the main factors which have
influenced in the identitary construction of “African descent” in the
period 1998-2008 in Venezuela. It is based on interviews with leaders
and members of Afro Venezuelan organizations, and reviewing
literature and various documents which were produced and
disseminated by their activists.
