  • A Delicate Balance Negotiating Isolation and Globalization in the Burmese Performing Arts Catherine Diamond
    A Delicate Balance Negotiating Isolation and Globalization in the Burmese Performing Arts Catherine Diamond If you walk on and on, you get to your destination. If you question much, you get your information. If you do not sleep and idle, you preserve your life! (Maung Htin Aung 1959:87) So go the three lines of wisdom offered to the lazy student Maung Pauk Khaing in the well- known eponymous folk tale. A group of impoverished village youngsters, led by their teacher Daw Khin Thida, adapted the tale in 2007 in their first attempt to perform a play. From a well-to-do family that does not understand her philanthropic impulses, Khin Thida, an English teacher by profession, works at her free school in Insein, a suburb of Yangon (Rangoon) infamous for its prison. The shy students practiced first in Burmese for their village audience, and then in English for some foreign donors who were coming to visit the school. Khin Thida has also bought land in Bagan (Pagan) and is building a culture center there, hoping to attract the street children who currently pander to tourists at the site’s immense network of temples.

Chapter 2 Another Look at the History of Tango The Intimate Connection of Rural ·and Urban Music in Argentina at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century Julia Chindemi and Pablo Vila Since the late nineteenth century, popular music has actively participated in the formation of different identities in Argentine society, becoming a very relevant discourse in the production, not only of significant subjectivities, but also of emotional and affective agencies. In the imaginary of the majority of Argentines, the tango is identified as "music of the city," fundame ntally linked to the city of Buenos Aires and its neighborhoods. In this imaginary, the music of the capital of the country is distinguished from the music of the provinces (including the province of Buenos Aires), which has been called campera, musica criolla, native, folk music, etc.

  • Performance Tango Or Tango Milonguero ?
    Performance Tango or Tango Milonguero ? Collected notes : Susana Miller: Two styles of Argentine tango, performance and milonguero, bring about a controversy in the dance community. Some attribute a false dichotomy between these styles. False because, in reality, they are complimentary. In a certain aspect, performance tango and milonguero tango are two sides of the same coin. The Milonguero, or "close embrace" style is danced in the crowded clubs of Buenos Aires. It evolved to compensate for large numbers of couples dancing in limited space. The Milonguero style is a rich and complex form of body signals and incorporates deep respect for the music and its varied rhythms. The result is a form of Tango that allows for simplicity of steps while encouraging a natural connection between the dancers. However, tango is known throughout the world because of performance tango. The beauty and splendor of its figures are spread by TV and on the stages of theaters across great distances to far away places. In this tango the couple separates in order to execute complicated figures and steps that have more visual appeal. They separate because it would be difficult to see the "closed" tango in a large theater of 500 or more people. The body work, particularly the leg motions, would not engender great interest. In the performance tango the steps are based on milonguero style, but are enlarged and embellished, and become choreographies that cross the stage diagonally, creating displays and making full use of the ample space available. The tango is known throughout the world thanks to the artists, very fine and expert dancers, and thanks to their inspiration and the hours of daily work that they devoted to their talent.

  • Psychoanalysis and Tango: Complex Arts of Grief Therapy Psychoanalysis and Tango Dancing During This Pandemic
    **DO NOT CIRCULATE OR PUBLISH: FOR 11/09/2020 SFCP SCIENTIFIC MEETING ONLY** No part of this paper may be used or reproduced in any form without the prior written permission from Dr. Dawn Farber. `Psychoanalysis and Tango: Complex Arts of Grief Therapy Psychoanalysis and tango dancing during this pandemic Psychoanalysis: “What the patient brings into the field of therapy is a body haunted by an absent other, a body whose gestures find no witness, no reciprocal, for their appeal. And to the therapist, these gestures hold in presence an absence which yearns for some lost other…an absence which galvanizes a field between patient and therapist, establishing a magnetic tension…a field in which each infects the other with desire and longing…” (Romanyshyn, 1998, p.52). Psychoanalysis: “The purest form of listening is to listen without memory or desire. Every session must have no history and no future…Out of darkness and formlessness something emerges.” Bion, (1967). Both: “Argentine tango and the teaching of tango present optimal processes that are systematic and subsymbolic, that occur within awareness and underlie the internal organization and interpersonal communication…In the analytic interchange as in the complex interactions of the tango, subsymbolic communication provides the guide to bodily and emotional exploration and integration.” (Bucci, p.45). I started to write this essay pre-pandemic, taking a kaleidoscopic view of the myriad connections (geographical, historical) and affinities in sensibility between psychoanalysis and tango. As we started to shelter in place, distance socially and abstain from all but essential social contact, my inevitable central thesis for this paper emerged.

  • Dancers of Tango Argentino Use Imagery for Interaction and Improvisation
    Journal of Cognitive Semiotics , IV (1): 76-124. http://www.cognitivesemiotics.com . Michael Kimmel University of Vienna Intersubjectivity at Close Quarters: How Dancers of Tango Argentino Use Imagery for Interaction and Improvisation The article explores the prerequisites of embodied ‘conversations’ in the improvisational pair dance tango argentino . Tango has been characterized as a dialog of two bodies. Using first- and second-person phenomenological methods, I investigate the skills that enable two dancers to move as a super-individual ensemble, to communicate without time lag, and to feel the partner’s intention at every moment. How can two persons – walking in opposite directions and with partly different knowledge – remain in contact throughout, when every moment can be an invention? I analyze these feats through the lens of image schemas such as BALANCE , FORCE , PATH , and UP -DOWN (Johnson 1987). Technique-related discourse – with its use of didactic metaphor – abounds with image-schematic vectors, geometries, and construal operations like profiling. These enable the tango process: from posture, via walking technique and kinetics, to attention and contact skills. Dancers who organize their muscles efficiently – e.g., through core tension – and who respect postural ‘grammar’ – e.g., a good axis – enable embodied dialog by being receptive to their partners and being manoeuvrable. Super-individual imagery that defines ‘good’ states for a couple to stick to, along with relational attention management and kinetic calibration of joint walking, turns the dyad into a single action unit. My further objective is a micro-phenomenological analysis of joint improvisation. This requires a theory to explain dynamic sensing, the combining of repertory knowledge with this, and the managing of both in small increments.

  • Argentine Tango: Another Behavioral Addiction?
    Journal of Behavioral Addictions 2(3), pp. 179–186 (2013) JournalDOI: of10.1556/JBA.2.2013.007 Behavioral Addictions First publishedDOI: 10.1556/JBA.2.2013.007 online June 14, 2013 Argentine tango: Another behavioral addiction? REMI TARGHETTA1#, BERTRAND NALPAS1,2*# and PASCAL PERNEY1 1Service d’Addictologie, CHU Caremeau, Nîmes, France 2Inserm U1016, Nîmes, France (Received: December 14, 2012; revision received: February 22, 2013; second revision received: April 8, 2013; accepted: April 9, 2013) Background: Behavioral addiction is an emerging concept based on the resemblance between symptoms or feelings provided by drugs and those obtained with various behaviors such as gambling, etc. Following an observational study of a tango dancer exhibiting criteria of dependence on this dance, we performed a survey to assess whether this case was unique or frequently encountered in the tango dancing community. Methods: We designed an online survey based on both the DSM-IV and Goodman’s criteria of dependence; we added questions relative to the positive and negative effects of tango dancing and a self-evaluation of the degree of addiction to tango. The questionnaire was sent via Internet to all the tango dancers subscribing to “ToutTango”, an electronic monthly journal. The prevalence of dependence was analyzed using DSM-IV, Goodman’s criteria and self-rating scores separately. Results: 1,129 tango dancers answered the questionnaire. Dependence rates were 45.1, 6.9 and 35.9%, respectively, according to the DSM-IV, Goodman’s criteria and self-rating scores. Physical symptoms of withdrawal were reported by 20% of the entire sample and one-third described a strong craving for dancing.
