![]() ![]() In order to compare these corporal expressions, I conducted a film analysis of a synthetic set of choreographic cells. I based my analysis on two audiovisual essays – In Corpo Tango and Philosophies of the Body in the Cariri of Ceará – that address Tango in Argentina and Reisado from Brazil. Many body movements and choreographic cells are currently conceived as forms of resistance. The audiovisual recording of artistic performances in urban spaces brings into the current debate the historical and choreographic links with the influence of Afro-descendant culture on both countries. Examples of this idea can be found in comparative research on traditional dances in Brazil and Argentina. In Latin America, many of the cultural manifestations of the body, which were previously discredited in academic circles, are currently at the centre of interdisciplinary research, thanks to their being captured " in situ " by performers, philosophers and cultural researchers in the form of audiovisual essays. Comparative audiovisual research within Cultural Studies has emerged in recent years as an interdisciplinary form of critique and social intervention.
