| Descripción: | This article analyzes a part of the cultural life of the Costa Rican elites between the 1950s and 1970s; a period that is considered biased in a prejudiced way; which is a myth. The central argument is that the dominant groups, perceived a certain level of backwardness with respect to the metropolitan centers of the period and ambitioned to implement with more force, artistic practices of fashion in these regions, such as opera and "classical" music. On the other hand, in the years studied, the Teatro Nacional was used for various purposes and competed with artistic forms of popular extraction, as well as musical organizations that escaped the parameters conceived by the elite. Theoretically, the concept of habitus is applied, referring to the need of the power groups to distinguish themselves and have exclusive social spaces. The methodology consisted in a historical reconstruction based on newspaper notes; especially the “Sección Social” of the newspaper La Nación. |
