• Sommario/riassunto: Global Tangos starts from the premise that Argentine tango may be used as a way to understand the profound transformations that have taken place as a result of two of the defining features of globalization: transnationalism and the rise of social media. This book argues against hackneyed Hollywood-centric notions of the dance and instead explores the meanings found in an unusual array of cultural narratives created in almost thirty countries around the world.
