WOMEN IN CULTURE: MUSIC, LAW, SOCIOLOGY AND SOCIETY


THEMATIC FRAME

THREE-DIMENSIONAL DIALOGUE WITH ITS SOCIO-CULTURAL INTERPRETATIONS AND CHALLENGES

It is possible to associate Law, Sociology and Music Composition, three different aspects of the domains of the Human Spirit. Can we make differences transcending the content and bringing about the practical steps to build any aesthetic forms? This parallelism challenge will be solved to become a relationship and a mode to bring them together.

LACCS-UK Forum series: GLOBAL CULTURE, SOCIETY AND DIALOGUE held on October 17th with Professor JR Monroy. Blanca Sandoval, Sulagne Sen and Celia Linde was an extensive discussion on how societies are more naturally connected through ethnic and professional identities. 

Sociologist Sen, discussed India's social structure from caste dominant society to diaspora marginalization of the DALIT, especially women, and how rural traditions and cultural expressions remain key to india's unique cultural identity.

Blanca Sandoval explained how Mexico built a legal system to protect indigenous cultural heritage, she gave samples how textile and fashion industries, copied Native Mexican artwork and transform them in expensive commodities  without profit for the original creators. A sequence of colour slides showing the artistic native or artisan creation which are protected by Mexican Law.

Celia Linde, explain how she invented herself after she received classical guitar teaching from Andres Segovia, assimilating the best of the German and scandinavian technique, and finally, how in New York, she receive master influence by Genius Carlos Barbosa-Lima to transform its style and repertoire with South American Brazilian guitar classics. 

In summary:  The three dimensional women dialogue concluded in an integrated synthesis, to understand a common professional interconnection of three historical cultural challenges.



I am proudly announcing the creation of  a new social-historical research which is a multidisciplinary work to be focussed in the historical interrelations of individual experiences in specific social systems and in a comparative analysis.



********************0********************

LACCS-UK continuing exploring the artistic creation with its intrinsics aesthetic similarities and differences, accordingly to the individual experiences and ethic to formulate a particular idea concerning art with particular reference to music and historical-culture.

Exist prejudices concerning women's artists and female professionals Working in Culture, Art, Music and Society?

Our society is predominant male orientation, even in industrial societies women social and economic roles are not completed recognised, i.e low salaries, not enough health-care or working protection against accidents, and employee abuses.

LACCS-UK Women Series attempts to contribute to enhancing the role of women in a modern society, focussing our attention on studies in any field of Culture, including Music and Arts. Why do we select Culture as the central topics in our forum?

Listening and comparing experiences of successful professional women in Music, Art and Society we will be able to create a continuum of cases which will be our proposition to analyse each case as part of their own historical and cultural background and explore how each of them sort themselves out of the prejudiced social environment.

Our women sample, was selected at random, considering only their successful profile as winners in a diary challenge to survive and to contribute with their intellect and talent to their national and international culture in their respective areas of knowledge and skills.

LACCS-UK project attempt to create a platform which will exhibit a series of women's successes cases, with its challenges and limitations caused by endogenous social factors, i.e. countries social legislations, non-existence of a democratic education system, pertinence to a specific social class. i.e. middle and elites, in disadvantage to the lower social status, etc. Finally, we will discover the real truth about how today in a modern and industrial society, women starting to build their own cultural profile as a social phenomenon as a winner of social status and prestige even better than men in the humble beginning of the capitalist society.
