This international conference held in Paris will gather together 
researchers from diverse disciplinary orientations (historical, 
sociological, anthropological, musicological) working on the tango and 
its various aspects (music, dance, poetry). This interdisciplinary 
conference, organized by the Center for Research in Arts and Language 
(CRAL, EHESS-CNRS) and affiliated with the ANR GLOBALMUS research 
program, takes place after UNESCOʼs official recognition of the tango as 
international Intangible Cultural Heritage.


The conference will focus on three contemporary scientific themes 
concerning tango:


- Creation: aesthetic trends of current tango; a history of creative 
initiatives; links with means of expression and techniques of the body; 
tensions between creation and tradition, invention and homogenization;


- Identification: national identities; nomadism and diaspora; “black” 
origins of the tango and the question of metissage; political uses and 
claims of autonomy; questions of gender and sexuality;


- Circulation: technological resources in the context of globalization; 
new means of broadcasting and their effects on the pedagogy and 
interpretation of tango; commercial strategies and alternative networks; 
the impact of naming tango as cultural heritage.


The languages of the conference will be French, English and Spanish.
