The First Decades of Argentinian Radiodrama: Disputes in the Construction of an Acting Identity

Radio drama was a phenomenon which revolutionised the cultural field in Argentina’s 1930s. Artists of all sorts converged, expanding the labour field in a context of economic crisis and social unrest.

Artists of all sorts converged, expanding the labour field in a context of economic crisis and social unrest. However, during the 1930s and part of the 1940s, radio drama was roundly criticised, thus showing society’s deeply rooted conceptions regarding art, culture, the role of the media and artists. We ask ourselves, then, what happened with the legitimacy and  the professionalization of artists in a period of cultural explosion? How did their unions face the radio drama phenomenon? Following theoretical concepts developed by Mauro  (2014a, 2014b, 2018a, 2018b), Pellettieri (2002) and Bourdieu (1967, 2000) and analising the discourses that circulated through Argentina’s cultural field of the time, this paper aims to shed light not only on the prejudice and obstacles faced by acting professionals at a turning point in their history as a collective, but also on the projection that some conceptions still have, acting against cultural workers’ self-perception. El radioteatro fue el fenómeno que revolucionó el campo cultural en los años 30 en Argentina. Confluyeron en él artistas de toda índole, ampliando el mercado laboral en un contexto de crisis económica y alta conflictividad social. Ahora bien, durante la década del 30 y parte del 40, el radioteatro cosechó un sinnúmero de críticas que visibilizaron las concepciones arraigadas en la sociedad sobre el arte, la cultura, el rol de los medios y los artistas.  Nos preguntamos, entonces, ¿qué sucedía con la legitimidad y la profesionalización de estos artistas en un período de explosión de industrias culturales? ¿Cómo se posicionaron los sindicatos que los representaban frente al fenómeno radioteatral? Apelando a conceptos teóricos desarrollados por Mauro (2014a, 2014b, 2018a, 2018b), Pellettieri (2002) y Bourdieu (1967, 2000) y analizando los discursos que circularon en el campo cultural argentino del momento, este trabajo se propone dar cuenta no sólo de los prejuicios y las dificultades que afrontaron lxs profesionales de la actuación en un momento crucial de su propia historia como colectivo, sino también la proyección que ciertas concepciones aún poseen, atentando contra la autopercepción de lxs mismxs en tanto trabajadorxs de la cultura.
