| Sumario: | In late 1987, Uruguayan rock reached its peak acceptancein the audiences, becoming the representative movement of all youth culture during the post-dictatorship period. In that same year, Relaciones magazine put together a panel aiming to communicate to the broader public what the new youngsters had to say about themselves as a new generation, as well as what they were saying about the emergent culture of the Eighties. The dynamics of the discussion took an unexpected course: the public mostly composed by members who were youngsters during the Sixties and Seventies, finished up dominating the discussion while talking about themselves and making the youngsters become spectators. This article analyzes the chronicles and reviews about the event, and reflects on this meeting as an instance where two generations were defined in terms of their mutual recognition. The meeting enabled both generations to define themselves since the contact between them had been banned by the dictatorship. |
