Resumen
Las canciones populares suelen expresar sentimientos muy extendidos entre quienes las crean e interpretan: a veces transmiten el espíritu de celebraciones y rituales, otras articulan el sufrimiento y la resistencia política. Asadoya Yunta, de las islas Yaeyama (Okinawa), es un ejemplo del descontento popular con las empresas colonizadoras llevadas a cabo por Japón, sobre todo en el siglo XIX; pero cuando se traduce al japonés, el tema anticolonialista desaparece, dando paso a una canción de amor, inofensiva en su contenido. Así, este artículo pretende demostrar, a través del estudio de caso de Asadoya Yunta, cómo la eliminación de elementos contextuales de los textos creativos sirve a un propósito estratégico en las relaciones asimétricas de poder, vaciando el texto de significado y despolitizando su significación.
