This article addresses the narrative politics (Ortner, 2006) that take part in the construction of agency of the tango dancers who want to conciliate their profession with their maternity. From the analysis of the musical tango compositions of the first two decades of the twentieth century and the exploration of the film Un tango más (2015), the study inquiries the ways in which these stories are nourished by the cultural politics of the difference and gender inequality. Also, how they participate in the organization of experiences and the construction of cultural representations, senses and imaginary about mothers and dancers in the professional tango dance circuit in Buenos Aires. Based on the information collected during an ethnographic fieldwork made between 2013 and 2020 – in which professional dancers who are also mothers were followed–, one concludes that the narratives associated with the figures of the mother and the tango’s milonguita keep on operating in the subjectivities of many artists and generating tensions in different ways – and in diverse grades – in their daily practices. These tensions also generate, at times, feelings of deep incompatibility between the maternity and the tango. |

Este artículo indaga acerca de la política narrativa (Ortner, 2006) que participa en la construcción de agencia de las bailarinas de tango que desean conciliar su profesión con su maternidad. A partir del análisis de las composiciones musicales de tango de las primeras dos décadas del siglo veinte y de la exploración del registro fílmico Un tango más (2015), el estudio se pregunta por los modos en que estas historias se nutren de la política cultural de la diferencia y la desigualdad de género y por cómo participan en la organización experiencias y la construcción de representaciones, sentidos e imaginarios sobre la madre y la bailarina en el circuito profesional del tango danza en Buenos Aires. En base a los datos relevados durante un trabajo de campo etnográfico realizado entre 2013 y 2020 –en el que se siguió a bailarinas profesionales que también son madres–, se concluye que las narrativas asociadas a las figuras de la madre y la milonguita del tango continúan operando en las subjetividades de muchas artistas y entran en tensión de diferentes maneras –y en diversos grados– en sus prácticas cotidianas. Estas tensiones generan, por momentos, sentimientos de profunda incompatibilidad entre la maternidad y el tango. Este artigo investiga a política narrativa (Ortner, 2006) que participa da construção da agência de dançarinas de tango que desejam conciliar a profissão com a maternidade. A partir da análise das composições musicais do tango das duas primeiras décadas do século XX e da exploração do disco fílmico "Un tango más" (2015), o estudo indaga sobre as formas como essas histórias se nutrem da política cultural do (diferença) e desigualdade de gênero e como as experiências participam na organização e na construção de sentidos e imaginários sobre a mãe e a dançarina no circuito profissional de dança do tango em Buenos Aires. Com base nos dados coletados durante um trabalho de campo etnográfico realizado entre 2013 e 2020 - onde foram acompanhadas dançarinas profissionais que também são mães - conclui-se que as narrativas associadas às figuras da mãe e do tango milonguita continuam operando nas subjetividades de muitos artistas e entram em tensão de maneiras diferentes - e em graus variados - em suas práticas diárias. Essas tensões geram, por vezes, sentimentos de profunda incompatibilidade entre a maternidade e o tango. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
