Summary
This Master’s dissertation analyses the role of certain cultural practices as accessible mediators of political discourse in the context of the current democratic crisis. Drawing on Uruguayan murga as a case study, and in keeping with a plural and popular approach to culture, it illustrates how spaces of cultural leisure can also function as spaces of political translation and socially legitimised civic interaction. The dissertation outlines a set of orientative characteristics for thinking about cultural interventions aimed at strengthening civic engagement.
