O processo explosivo do bandoneón na formatação do tango

Abstract

Bandoneón’s explosive process in tango’s formatting – Explosive Process is the term used by Yuri Lotman to describe the qualitative changes that occur by introducing new information in a system of communication and culture, forcing it to restructure its semiotic layers. Unlike the gradual processes, explosives are unexpected and, to some extent, untranslatable, expressing the condition of ambiguity of boundaries which accomplishes the translating function between the own and the stranger. In this paper, we seek to associate the stranger bandoneón to the explosive process that would have formatted the tango, assigning it a distinctive feature that remains today as a sign of tango.
