Abstract:In the 1920s and early 1930s, Brazil’s urbanists and intellectuals recognized fundamental tensions between world-making by modernist artists and architects and interventions in urban space by undisciplined urban crowds. In the burgeoning megalopolis of São Paulo, simultaneously center and periphery for a Brazil increasingly embedded within international economic and cultural circuits, civil engineer Flávio de Carvalho created fantastical architectural designs and performative disruptions of city life. Yet, rather than understanding his works as exemplifying avant-garde radicality, this essay argues that Carvalho’s designs and interventions expressed anxiety about the declining power of older Brazilian elites and the rise of quasi-populist demagoguery with Brazil’s Revolution of 1930. In rapidly changing São Paulo, Carvalho remained poised between faith in the modernization of Brazil’s cities governed by rational urban planning and a desire to experience urbanity as an exhilarating immersion in disorderly crowds.
摘要:在20世纪20年代和30年代初,巴西的城市学家和知识分子认识到现代主义艺术家和建筑师的世界创造与无序的城市人群对城市空间的干预之间存在根本性的紧张关系。在新兴的特大城市圣保罗,同时也是巴西日益融入国际经济和文化回路的中心和外围,土木工程师Flávio de Carvalho创造了梦幻般的建筑设计和对城市生活的表演破坏。然而,本文并没有将他的作品理解为先锋激进主义的例证,而是认为卡瓦略的设计和干预表达了对巴西老精英权力下降和1930年巴西革命后准民粹主义煽动者崛起的担忧。在瞬息万变的圣保罗,卡瓦略一直保持着对巴西城市现代化的信念,这种现代化是由理性的城市规划管理的,同时他也渴望在混乱的人群中体验令人兴奋的都市生活。

Abstract:This article addresses the interconnectedness of economic livelihoods for music workers and state funding for the arts in São Paulo, Brazil—a center of musical production, cultural life, and state-directed arts spending. I use the lens of “musical urbanity,” or the distinctive symbolic, material, spatial, and administrative qualities of urban musical sociability, to unpack how music workers understand urbanity as a cultural resource that requires state regulation. As an illustrative case study, this article examines the content of and debate surrounding the City of Music Law, a proposed municipal arts development law (lei de fomento). Stakeholders drafted the legislation specifically in response to the concerns of music workers who find careers difficult to assemble in the city. Advocates of this legislation seek a more equal distribution of state support for music production in São Paulo while leaving aside the financial and bureaucratic concentrations that make such redistributions possible.
摘要:本文探讨了巴西圣保罗音乐生产、文化生活和国家指导的艺术支出中心,音乐工作者的经济生计与国家对艺术的资助之间的相互联系。我用“音乐城市化”的视角,或城市音乐社交的独特象征性、物质性、空间性和管理性,来解读音乐工作者如何将城市化理解为一种需要国家监管的文化资源。作为一个例证性的案例研究,本文考察了《音乐之城法》的内容和围绕该法的辩论,该法是一项拟议的市政艺术发展法(lei de fomento)。利益相关者起草这项立法是为了回应音乐工作者的担忧,他们发现在城市里很难找到职业。这项立法的倡导者寻求在圣保罗更平等地分配国家对音乐制作的支持,同时搁置使这种再分配成为可能的财政和官僚集中。
