Resumen de Feminist activism and queer claims in traditional dance and music: Two case studies: the dimònies (female demons) and the queer bullanguera of Mallorca
Feminist and queer claims have appeared in an intense and passionate way, questioning aspects of some manifestations of the intangible oral heritage. The festive setting, the public places of performance, the shared emotion around a historically patriarchal repertoire are analysed here in two case studies (the dimònies and the queer bullanguera). This activism, although Mediterranean and local, has reshaped regional policies on equality; and has generated debates in media and social networks. At the same time, music and choreographic codes evolve into more balanced gender and sexualities treatment (Magowan & Wrazen 2013; Liska 2017; Snyder 2018). Following these scholars; the relationship between performativity and gender, the respect for the symbolic space bounded by tradition and collective emotion through music and choreography are studied here.
