Product detailsWhat is tango? It is the history of dangerous encounters and stubborn encounters accompanied by dance, music and lyrics. He is furious and combative. But at the same time, it's a philosophy, a strategy, an exotic and passionate meta in the imperialist circulation of emotions, and even a disease.
this book follows the tango's journey from the milandes of buenos aires, the cabarets of paris, the clubs of tokyo, while also looking at the political character of the tango.
it solves the relationships between macanism and colonialism, postmodernism and atatürkism, exoticism and metalism along the way. "the exotic one is not only the object of pleasure of the imperial west, but it also shows its transition to the ""passion package"" sold in its colonized packaging."
the author creates his own “tango language”, “personal and political” voice to tell the stories of sexuality, social gender, race, class and national identity intertwined with each other.
"at the same time, she is looking at the tango's exoticization, a third world woman intellectualizing her own thoughts, and performing tango in front of the reader: ""tango is my womb, my tongue, a shield that i can stand against the colonial invitations of ""universalism""." Moreover, while doing this, he draws inspiration from the resistance history of latin america, especially from che: "like che, i clearly say that my goal is victory." "in my own example, i'm performing this by doing the tango of the troubadour tunes and breaking the rhythm of the academic silences," he says. "at the end, he achieves a decolonizing statement as an intellectual who ""abandons what he has learned, forgets it""."
savigliano, as a woman, a feminist and a tango dancer, reveals with audacity the aspects of tango that both seduce and disturb the people. As she described it, tango history is the history of a colonized country, that is, the history of women defined as 'other'.
