Through close analysis of primary and secondary source material related to Katherine Dunham'sTango(1954), this article examines the protest message of this dance work within the political and social context of the time. The article focuses first on Dunham's understanding of the Argentine populist political movement known as Peronism, and secondly on the Argentine reception of the piece's protest against Juan Domingo Perón's government. The article argues that, contrary to existing interpretations of the work,Tangoarticulated with the cultural policies promoted by Perón's government, rather than working as a protest performance against it.

凯瑟琳·邓纳姆和庇隆主义：邓纳姆探戈的分析（1954）

通过仔细分析与凯瑟琳·邓纳姆 (Katherine Dunham) 相关的一手和二手资料探戈（1954 年），本文在当时的政治和社会背景下审视了这部舞蹈作品的抗议信息。这篇文章首先关注的是邓纳姆对被称为庇隆主义的阿根廷民粹主义政治运动的理解，其次是阿根廷对这篇文章抗议胡安·多明戈·庇隆政府的态度。文章认为，与对作品的现有解释相反，探戈与庇隆政府推动的文化政策相结合，而不是作为反对它的抗议表演。
