  • Summary

    Pablo Palomino analyzes broader cultural themes and aesthetic currents in lyrics from the tango’s Golden Age. He considers the historical context in which tango lyrics became a sentimental, philosophical, and aesthetic lens for several generations of listeners in Argentina and beyond through a unique mix of modernism and vernacular speech. He then examines the poetry around three central themes that emerged in the Golden Age: the urban space, the sociological and poetic issue of the relationship between love and self, and the modern experience itself.
