Abstract

This article explores the predominantly White brass band scenes of the carnivals of New Orleans and Rio de Janeiro as producing rituals of intensified social distinction. The bands’ musical practices realize aesthetic preferences of distinct racialized communities forged through relational positioning. Offering alternatives to the “heritage repertoires” of these carnivals based in musical Blackness, these bands’ musical eclecticism forms an aesthetic articulation of “alternative Whiteness,” which seeks to “disinherit” both hegemonic Whiteness of conservative cultural politics and commodification of Blackness. The article theorizes contemporary carnivalesque translocality in consideration of longer histories of festive circulation in the Atlantic World. Este artigo examina o cenário de bandas de sopros, formadas predominantemente por pessoas brancas, presentes nos carnavais de Nova Orleans e no Rio de Janeiro, caracterizando como rituais de intensificação da distinção social. As práticas musicais realizadas por essas bandas têm preferências estéticas distintas das comunidades negras forjadas por meio de posicionamento relacional. Oferecendo alternativas aos “repertórios de herança” desses carnavais baseados na negritude musical, o ecletismo musical dessas bandas forma uma articulação estética da “branquitude alternativa”, que busca “deserdar” tanto a branquitude hegemônica da política cultural conservadora quanto a comodificação da negritude. O artigo teoriza a translocalidade carnavalesca contemporânea em consideração a histórias mais longas de circulação festiva no Mundo Atlântico.
新奥尔良和里约热内卢的狂欢节铜管乐队:剥夺继承权、另类白人和音乐折衷主义
本文探讨了新奥尔良和里约热内卢狂欢节中以白人为主的铜管乐队场景,作为强化社会差异的仪式。乐队的音乐实践实现了通过关系定位形成的不同种族化社区的审美偏好。这些乐队的音乐折衷主义为这些以音乐黑人为基础的狂欢节提供了“遗产曲目”的替代品,形成了“另类白人”的美学表达,试图“剥夺”保守文化政治的霸权白人和黑人的商品化。考虑到大西洋世界节日流通的悠久历史,本文对当代狂欢节的异地性进行了理论分析。这篇文章考察了主要由白人组成的乐队在新奥尔良和里约热内卢的狂欢节上的情景,这些乐队被描述为强化社会差异的仪式。这些乐队表演的音乐实践具有不同于通过关系定位形成的黑人社区的审美偏好。这些乐队的音乐折衷主义提供了基于音乐黑人的狂欢节“遗产剧目”的替代品,形成了“另类白人”的美学表达,试图“剥夺”保守文化政策的霸权白人和黑人的商品化。本文结合大西洋世界节日流传的较长故事,对当代狂欢节的跨地域性进行了理论分析。
