Frente a un archivo que tiende a silenciar ciertas intervenciones sonoras de gente de color a la vez que privilegia otras como evidencia de la conversión de sujetos no eurodescendientes, esta aproximación arroja luz sobre la construcción particular de expresiones vocales de gente de color que perturbaban el orden colonial. Indaga en la represión física y jurídica de voces africanas y afrodescendientes, arguyendo que el silenciamiento que se pretendía imponer se relacionaba con la ansiedad de la élite colonial sobre la agencia vocal, los enlaces entre voz y comunidad y la perpetuación de tradiciones no-cristianas. Asimismo, considera la posible persistencia de costumbres sonoras de las culturas originarias de africanos y afrodescendientes en zonas urbanas de la Nueva España, con un énfasis particular en la ciudad de México. Analiza referencias a voces afrodescendientes desde una perspectiva transatlántica, relacionándolas con tradiciones africanas y afro-hispanas para que la cultura sonora novohispana resuene como parte de la diáspora. Teniendo todo esto en cuenta, el estudio plantea cuestiones más amplias sobre las conexiones entre sonido y memoria cultural afrodescendiente, sobre todo dentro de un contexto en el que se esperaba la adopción de costumbres europeas como un signo de obediencia y asimilación.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract This article explores Afro-descendant voices in New Spain through a theoretical lens of discipline and repression. In response to the archive&#8217;s tendency to silence particular sonorous interventions of people of color and, at the same time, privilege others as evidence of the successful conversion of non-Euro-descendant subjects, the approach sheds light on the unique construction of vocalizations of people of color that disturbed colonial order. It delves into the physical and juridical repression of African and Afro-descendant voices, arguing that the silencing that the colonial elite sought to impose related to their anxiety about vocal agency, connections between voice and community and the preservation of non-Christian traditions. Along the same lines, this essay considers the possible persistence of sound traditions from the native cultures of Africans and Afro-descendants in New Spain&#8217;s urban regions, especially Mexico City. It analyzes references to Afro-descendant voices from a transatlantic perspective and relates them to African and Afro-Hispanic customs so that New Spanish sound culture might resonate as part of the diaspora. With all this in mind, the study probes broader questions about the connections between sound and Afro-descendant cultural memory, above all within a context that viewed the adoption of European customs as a sign of obedience and assimilation.]]></p></abstract>
