摘要：El objetivo central de este texto es hacer una reconstrucción histórica de la danza criolla llamada zamacueca durante el siglo XIX en Chile. Utilizando un enfoque etnohistórico próximo a la historia cultural, se describe su llegada, expansión y posterior arraigo en tres etapas (1823/1824-1856, 1856-1879, 1879-1910). A partir de una amplia gama de fuentes y recursos bibliográficos, se exponen los espacios públicos y privados donde la danza se desenvolvió, examinando sus características extraordinarias (ubicuidad, amplitud social y representatividad) y el lugar que ocupó en las transformaciones culturales de mediados del siglo XIX. Finalmente, como aspecto transversal, se ofrecen algunos apuntes sobre la relación de este género musical con el discurso de lo nacional al interior de la cultura chilena decimonónica.
其他摘要：The main objective of this article is to present a historical reconstruction of the Creole dance known as the zamacueca during the nineteenth century in Chile. Using an ethno-historical approach similar to that used in cultural history, the author describes its arrival, growth and subsequent implantation in three periods (1823/1824-1856, 1856-1879, 1879-1910). With the aid of a wide range of bibliographical resources and tools, both the public and private settings in which dance took place are established, as well as their special characteristics (ubiquity, wide social appeal and representativeness), and its role in the cultural transformation that took place during the mid-nineteenth century. Finally, the relationship between this musical genre and the concept of nationalism in nineteenth-century Chilean culture is also examined.
