Conference: Tango! Dance the World Around: Global Transformations of Latin American Culture

Tango!

Dance the World Around: Global Transformations of Latin American Culture

Friday, October 26–Saturday, October 27, 2007
Agassiz Theatre
10 Garden Street
Radcliffe Yard
Cambridge, Massachusetts

Admission is free, and registration is required.
For more information, please call 617-495-8600.

Tango! engages with the history and aesthetics of a vital dance form in order to explore traditions of culture and politics in Latin America and across the world. Tango—the dance, the music, the symbol of passion and possession—is deeply embedded in histories of urban poverty, social marginalization, and masculine authority.

Tango!—the conference—will explore these local contexts of performance while, at the same time, posing larger questions of cultural transmission. Why has tango achieved such a remarkable success as a global metaphor? What gives it the capacity to infuse diverse national and regional contexts across the globe with the spirit of Latin American performance?

Tango! is cosponsored by the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, the Humanities Center at Harvard, and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, with the generous support of the Consulate General and Promotion Center of Argentina in New York.
