Traditional dances in Spain. Bibliometric study based on high impact search engines

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to carry out a bibliometric analysis on traditional dances in Spain with the aim of parcelling all the data obtained in an academic way. A total of N=224 articles published between 2012 and 2022 and indexed in Web of Science were analysed. We used an ex post facto retrospective design and an analysis of frequencies carried out in the Mircrosoft Excel programme. The documents studied allowed us to classify all the publications by genres and areas (dance, history, sociology, education, ethnomusicology, anthropology, musicology, etc.), as well as the most prolific authors and the highest number of citations, among other aspects. As main results, it was observed that first-order documents in article format and written in Spanish predominated, with flamenco being the most mentioned genre and dance the most representative area. The most prolific year was 2020 and the most cited was 2017. The magazines Música Oral del Sur and La Madrugá, and the publishing house of the University of Murcia stood out in terms of number of publications. On the other hand, in terms of the number of citations, Leisure Studies and the Taylor & Francis publishing house predominated. The most significant author was Vargas-Macias, A. and the most cited author was Matteucci, X. This study could be taken as a starting point for future research on traditional dances in Spain. Keywords: traditional dances, baile, bibliometric, folklore, Spain.

Sobre la didáctica de las danzas folklóricas en el contexto escolar chileno: aproximaciones desde una experiencia de Aprendizaje Servicio

“…Si bien se destaca lo valioso de preservar y estudiar las danzas folklóricas como patrimonio cultural inmaterial (Penalva et al, 2023), la literatura sobre la didáctica específica desde la EF pareciera escasa en la realidad del sistema educativo chileno. Con respecto a esto, Reyno (2010) constata que los docentes de EF priorizan las danzas folklóricas nacionales como medio para alcanzar todo tipo de contenidos, sobre todo aquellos referidos a la expresión corporal (Learreta et al, 2005).…”

Bibliometric evolution of body percussion: Impact and gender in scientific-academic publications

“…Until 2022 there was only one research group that wrote exclusively first-order papers on body percussion and the possible stimulation of cognitive and executive functions (Arnau-Mollá & Romero-Naranjo, 2022b This is a research group with a high level of activity, as in 2023 it has published ten first-order papers indexed in Wos. Among them are quantitative intervention studies with statistically significant results in selective attention in Primary Education (Romero-Naranjo, Pujalte-Cantó et al, 2023) and attention and anxiety in Secondary Education (Romero-Naranjo, Sayago-Martínez et al, 2023); ethnographic, on body percussion and traditional dances (Di Russo & Romero-Naranjo, 2023); neuromtricity and body schema, which presents the basis for the use of body percussion in physical education and sport sciences, as well as the possible benefits and contents of neuromotor work at kinaesthetic/anatomical, psychological, neurological/cognitive, ethnomusicological, musical, visual arts, creativity, evaluation and research levels (Romero-Naranjo, Andreu-Cabrera et al , 2023); theoretical justification on neuromotricity as an interdisciplinary resource (Romero-Naranjo, Andreu-Cabrera, 2023a); Theoretical-practical justification on physical condition and neuromotricity (Romero-Naranjo & Andreu-Cabrera, 2023b) and on the ten pillars of neuromotricity (Romero-Naranjo & Andreu-Cabrera, 2023c); bibliometric studies on dual-task and movement (Mas-Mas et al, 2023) and on traditional dances in Spain (Penalva et al, 2023); and the first case study that evaluates, through body percussion, cardiorespiratory aspects and ergo-spirometry or stress test with gas analysis, and that demonstrates that BAPNE FIT activities favour and increase heart rate and maximum oxygen consumption (Romero-Naranjo & Llorca-Garnero, 2023).…”
