Abstract

MONTES, María de los Ángeles. Some Key Elements Necessary to Understand the Current Validity of the Romantic Poetry of Argentine Tango from the Perspective of a Study on Reception. Signo pensam. [online]. 2016, vol.35, n.68, pp.118-132. ISSN 0120-4823.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.syp35-68.acev.

In this communication, we share the results of a sociosemiotic research that took place in Córdoba around the interpretations made by the current Argentine tango consumers in order to take ownership of this popular poetry built on a morality which stands in stark contrast with the middle class morality of these consumers. For this purpose, two rounds of interviews were conducted to a theoretical sample of 33 and 26 subjects so as to inquire about the preferences and beliefs in which they base their selections. Finally, a hypothesis is offered which allows for the comprehension of why the romantic poetry of tango is their main selection: the type of love they have acquired is in part coherent with these poems, and, when it is not, it is enough for them to judge this particular case as less concordant with the topic, instead of revising the interpretative prototype.

Keywords : reception; interpretative operations; prototypes; love; romantic poetry.
