Download or read book Tango written by Mike Gonzalez and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born on the unlit streets of Buenos Aires, tango was inspired by the music of European immigrants who crossed the ocean to Argentina, lured by the promise of a better life. It found its home in the city’s marginal districts, where it was embraced and shaped by young men who told stories of prostitutes, petty thieves, and disappointed lovers through its music and movements. Chronicling the stories told through tango’s lyrics, Mike Gonzalez and Marianella Yanes reveal in Tango how the dance went from slumming it in the brothels and cabarets of lower-class Buenos Aires to the ballrooms of Paris, London, Berlin, and beyond. Tracing the evolution of tango, Gonzalez and Yanes set its music, key figures, and the dance itself in their place and time. They describe how it was not until Paris went crazy for tango just before World War I that it became acceptable for middle-class Argentineans to perform the seductive dance, and they explore the renewed enthusiasm with which each new generation has come to it. Telling the sexy, enthralling story of this stylish and dramatic dance, Tango is a book for casual fans and ballroom aficionados alike.

Download or read book Tango Lessons written by Marilyn G. Miller and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-07 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its earliest manifestations on the street corners of nineteenth-century Buenos Aires to its ascendancy as a global cultural form, tango has continually exceeded the confines of the dance floor or the music hall. In Tango Lessons, scholars from Latin America and the United States explore tango's enduring vitality. The interdisciplinary group of contributors—including specialists in dance, music, anthropology, linguistics, literature, film, and fine art—take up a broad range of topics. Among these are the productive tensions between tradition and experimentation in tango nuevo, representations of tango in film and contemporary art, and the role of tango in the imagination of Jorge Luis Borges. Taken together, the essays show that tango provides a kaleidoscopic perspective on Argentina's social, cultural, and intellectual history from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first centuries. Contributors. Esteban Buch, Oscar Conde, Antonio Gómez, Morgan James Luker, Carolyn Merritt, Marilyn G. Miller, Fernando Rosenberg, Alejandro Susti
Download or read book Tango Nuevo written by Carolyn Merritt and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2012-11-11 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Argentine tango is one of the world’s best-known partner dances. Though tango is much admired and discussed, very little has been written on its ongoing evolution. In this innovative work, Carolyn Merritt surveys tango history while focusing on the most recent iteration of the dance, tango Nuevo, and the práctica scene that has exploded in Buenos Aires since the early 2000s. After starting with an overview of tango, Merritt leads readers on a great adventure through the traditional dance halls and the less formal prácticas of Buenos Aires to tango communities on both coasts of the United States. Along the way, Merritt’s personal observations show the dance’s emotional depth and the challenges dancers face in tango venues old and new. Her investigation also demonstrates how innovation, globalization, and fusion, which many associate with nuevo, have always been at work in tango. Combining sensuous prose, provocative images, and often heartbreaking stories, this book takes an unflinching look at the complex motivations driving the pursuit to master this intricate dance. Throughout, Merritt questions the "newness" of Nuevo through portraits of machismo, violence, and elitism in contemporary tango. The result is a volume that highlights the tensions between preservation and evolution of this--or any--cultural art form. Members of the global tango community as well as students of dance, folklore, anthropology, and the social sciences will embrace this book. For those who are devoted to Argentine tango as dance, this book will be indispensable to understanding its most recent transformations.

Download or read book Transcultural Areas written by Wolfgang Berg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-08-03 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on culture as a complex system of rules it is too obvious that each rule has a particular range which is only exceptionally congruent with national or natural borders. In general, cultural exchange is not limited by political borders or rivers, forests, seas, or mountains. Those areas are rather transcultural, which is especially true for markets and towns. Dealing with cities like Buenos Aires or Riga, regions like Podlachia (Poland), Northern Ireland, or Bukovina, and the area of the Danube river the case studies give evidence for this thesis. The book will be of interest to researchers and students in the fields of cultural and intercultural studies.
Download or read book Nueva historia del tango written by Héctor Benedetti and published by Siglo XXI Editores. This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hay muchas versiones sobre los orígenes del tango: se dice que nació en las orillas, que tardó mucho en ser admitido por la alta sociedad, que se bailaba en los prostíbulos porteños. En este libro, el gran estudioso del tango Héctor Benedetti logra sortear esas imágenes de idealizada marginalidad para analizar el devenir del género, desde el siglo XIX hasta las nuevas expresiones del siglo XXI. Así, construye una historia diferente y original, una obra de referencia que, a contrapelo de la tendencia más extendida, no recae en la sumatoria de biografías elogiosas ni en el esquematismo de las divisiones rígidas. Por el contrario, apuesta a sistematizar y articular un largo curso de acontecimientos y dar su justo lugar a los hechos y personajes más notables. Además de indagar en el momento fundacional, recorre el período de la consolidación del género con la incorporación del bandoneón, la conformación de un repertorio, la aparición de la orquesta típica y las posibilidades de difusión de la industria fonográfica. Explora el pasaje de la Guardia Vieja hacia las nuevas corrientes, y advierte las secuencias de inercia creativa, crisis y renovación que lo marcaron cíclicamente. Sigue las peripecias del tango cantado, desde la intimidad de Mi noche triste hasta el desencanto de Cambalache y más allá; y avanza con preguntas que buscan desarmar ciertos clichés: por qué Carlos Gardel continúa gravitando como un cantor insuperable, por qué los años cuarenta quedaron inscriptos como la "edad de oro", qué formas adoptó el debate entre los músicos más convencionales y los más innovadores, como Héctor Varela y Ástor Piazzolla. Con una prosa entretenida y ocurrente, este libro ofrece un panorama integral y crítico del mundo del tango, que sin duda ayuda a comprender su historia, pero además abre vías para profundizarla sobre bases verdaderamente sólidas.

Download or read book Fashion and Modernism written by Louise Wallenberg and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art and fashion have long gone hand in hand, but it was during the modernist period that fashion first gained equal value to – and took on the same aesthetic ideals as – painting, film, photography, dance, and literature. Combining high and low art forms, modernism turned fashion designers into artists and vice versa. Bringing together internationally renowned scholars across a range of disciplines, this vibrant volume explores the history and significance of the relationship between modernism and fashion and examines how the intimate connection between these fields remains evident today, with contemporary designers relating their work to art and artists problematizing fashion in their works. With chapters on a variety topics ranging from Russian constructionism and clothing to tango and fashion in the early 20th century, Fashion and Modernism is essential reading for students and scholars of fashion, dress history, and art history alike.
