Resumen de Bandoneones, lenguas y el peligro de extinción
- español
Los mitos están presentes en diferentes ámbitos. En este ensayo nos centramos en el mito de la dificultad que se plantea en relación con una supuesta falta de lógica. Para desarticular este mito, proponemos un recorrido en torno a uno de los instrumentos musicales más característicos de la música popular argentina, el bandoneón, y a la predicación de dificultad aplicada a ciertas lenguas. Nuestro objetivo es mostrar de qué manera este mito no solo es falaz para lenguas y bandoneones, sino que puede tener un resultado sumamente perjudicial.AbstractMyths are found in different fields. In this essay we focus on the myth of difficulty in relation to an apparent lack of reasoning. In order to question this myth, we propose an account of one of the most characteristic instruments in Argentinian popular music, the bandoneon, and of the alleged difficulty associated with some languages. Our goal is to show that this myth is not only false for languages and bandoneons, but it also may result in dangerous consequences for both.
