Topographies of tango. Buenos Aires, Paris, the serial novel, opera and Discépolo

Abstract

The text is proposed, from a tour of imaginary topographies of the tango in Buenos Aires and Paris, deconstruct crystallized traces of a conservative hermeneutic that has built common locations at this point, as the absence of a system of symbolic loans previous and simultaneous to the consecrating the tango trip to the capital of France, that is, the absence of a between cultural that linked the two cities the presence of social compartments watertight, representative of a culture "high" and "low" culture, which then would have addressed separate cultural as the Italian opera and French feuilleton novel property, respectively, and the tango as a time of decline of Buenos Aires "social reflection" and therefore correspondingly for the bunker of the useless things and why "sad" during the 1950.Para it has been used the methodology of cultural analysis historical in the refutation of such common places further stated in the conclusions, recovering at the same time on the way independent of Jaime Rest work and almost solitary contribution to the problems in half of the years of 1960.
