Abstract

This paper uses the experience of watching tango in Paris to open questions about what might be involved in constructing a cartography of feeling for a practice such as tango. Tango involves place, space and bodies in the here and now, but it also has a history - inseparable from politics - preceding its contemporary globalisation and commodification in 'a political economy of passion' (Saviliano, 1995), and images of this history continue to infuse the meaning of tango outside Argentina and Uruguay. The writing of such a multidimensional cartography also seems to demand a way of writing yet to be invented.
