‘Cafetín de Buenos Aires’, a window on modern city: loneliness and melancolia in the experience of the 1930s and 1940s

Abstract

In his analysis of Baudelaire liric, Walter Benjamin addresses the city, crowd, melancolia and traumatic shock resulting from the impact of modernity on the sensitivity of intellectuals and ococentist readers. The modern experience and circulation of ideas brings Paris and Buenos Aires closer together, and the same themes are recreated at this new Libyan demonstration, the tango-cancion. In this work, I analyse how some poets of the tang react to modernity and develop a social identity around melancolia and sociability mechanisms and spaces, taking into account the representations on “Argentinian man” present in the papers of Ortega y Gasset and Scalabrini Ortiz.
