### Tango: Imagining National Roots in the Maelstrom of Modernization and Modernity in Argentina and Uruguay, 1880-1940 . Under contract with the University of Florida Press.

This book explores how tango, the popular phenomenon that originated in the Río de la Plata countries of Latin America, Argentina and Uruguay, intersected with modernization and channeled the desires and anxieties of Argentines and Uruguayans who longed to hold onto a stable personal and societal past that might give meaning to an uncertain present and future. It also analyzes how tango in the hybrid fashion that characterizes the genre commingled with creole and nativist poetry in a search for national icons. Tango, criollismo like and nativism embraced the gaucho, the local cowboy, and his mores as the authentic symbol of the region, but did so while showing his way of life to be under threat. Tango destabilized the cemented iconicity of the gaucho and instead proposed a new, fluid image for national identity that was at once collective and urban: a couple dancing tango. The book foregrounds tango as a key site for reading the anxieties generated by modernity and globalization.

The essays on this volume reflect on a limited set of 'translation scenes' that read the discourse of History against the grain, against what that discourse has concealed, to show the enunciative positions of power from which otherness has been and continues to be categorized, reduced, silenced, or expropriated.
