ABSTRACT Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Cotonou, Benin, the essay explores historical and contemporary dynamics pertaining to the different ways in which salsa is creatively appropriated in Benin. The analysis of the specificities of Beninese salsa dialogues with the ever-growing body of literature interrogating the ability of the Black Atlantic heuristic to grasp South-South transatlantic cultural circulations. I thereby redefine the transatlantic affiliations that are perceptible through the beninisation of salsa as emanating instead from what I call the Creole Atlantic.

在贝宁跳舞莎莎：连接克里奥尔大西洋

摘要本文借鉴了在贝宁科托努进行的人种志田野调查，探讨了在贝宁创造性地使用莎莎酱的不同方式的历史和当代动态。贝宁萨尔萨人对话与不断增长的文学主体之间的特殊性分析，质疑了黑大西洋试探派掌握南南跨大西洋文化流通的能力。因此，我重新定义了跨大西洋的从属关系，这种联系可以通过莎莎的贝宁化来体现，而不是从我所谓的克里奥尔语大西洋发出。
