Abstract

Through analyzing the case of a fan of the musician Carlos Solari, this article explores
the reflective work of self-constitution of fans through their fan practices. This inquiry
seeks to characterize a mode of individuation constructed through interaction with
this cultural object. By emphasizing the instance of personal reflexivity, the article
explores an interpretation of the scene that differs from the most usual ones that focus
on the “ritual” character of concerts or the practice of “aguante”. The paper thus aims
to contribute to the analysis of popular appropriation of rock and to the studies of
individualization processes among popular sectors in contemporary Argentina.
