Abstract

La belle danse, style chorégraphique du XVIIIe siècle, se diffuse en présence et par des écrits: traités, partitions en notation Beauchamps-Feuillet. A partir de ce sujet, l'ouvrage problématise les liens entre danse, écriture et lecture. Danser précède ou suit l'écriture de la danse - qui suppose de concevoir un style chorégraphique, de l'élaborer, de le transformer. Écrire la danse permet ainsi de stimuler l'imaginaire corporel. Parallèlement, la lire, c'est-à-dire la simuler ou l'incorporer, implique de la comprendre, de l'interpréter, et d'en concevoir certains enjeux. Ce volume place ainsi la pratique et la critique des arts chorégraphiques à l'intersection du sensible et du conceptuel.

Abstract

Dance travels as does thought about dance. This book renews thinking about the moving body by drawing on dance practice and performance from across the world. Eighteen internationally recognised scholars show how dance can challenge our thoughts and feelings about our own and other cultures, our emotions and prejudices, and our sense of public and private space. In so doing, they offer a multi-layered response to ideas of affect and emotion, culture and politics, and ultimately, the place of dance and art itself within society. The chapters in this collection arise from a number of different political and historical contexts. By teasing out their detail and situating dance within them, art is given a political charge. That charge is informed by the work of Michel Foucault, Stuart Hall, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, Rancière and Luce Irigaray as well as their forebears such as Spinoza, Plato and Freud. Taken together, Choreography and Corporeality: RELAY in Motion puts thought into motion, without forgetting its origins in the social world.

Abstract

André Lepecki surveys a decade of experimental choreography to uncover the dual meaning of 'performance' in the twenty-first century: not just an aesthetic category, but a mode of political power. He demonstrates the enduring ability of performance to critique and subvert this power, examining this relationship through five 'singularities' in contemporary dance: thingness, animality, persistence, darkness, and solidity. Exploring the works of Mette Ingvartsen, Yvonne Rainer, Ralph Lemon, Jérôme Bel and others, Lepecki uses his concept of 'singularity'--the resistance of categorization and aesthetic identification--to examine the function of dance and performance in political and artistic debate.

Abstract

Wer schreibt die Tanzgeschichte und aufgrund von welchen Annahmen und Interessen? Wie findet Erinnerung Eingang in historiografische Prozesse und welche Rolle spielt dabei der Körper? Diese Fragen prägen seit den 1990er-Jahren die europäische Tanzszene und bilden Anlass für eine grundlegende Revision der Tanzgeschichtsschreibung. Ausgehend von Arbeiten u.a. von Boris Charmatz, Olga de Soto, Foofwa d'Imobilité und Thomas Lebrun, entwirft Julia Wehren das Konzept der »choreografischen Historiografien«. Sie hält der Flüchtigkeit des Tanzes seine Geschichtlichkeit entgegen und plädiert für eine Erweiterung des Archivs um den Körper in Bewegung. »Das Buch [kann] mit Gewinn als Einführung in ein weitverzweigtes Gebiet gelesen werden, an dem die Tanzwissenschaft seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre sehr interessiert ist und mit dem sich Wehren produktiv auseinandersetzt.« Katja Schneider, Forum Modernes Theater, 2 (2018) »[Der Autorin] gelingt nicht nur ein präziser Überblick über die wichtigsten Ansätze tanzwissenschaftlicher Archivforschung. Vielmehr verankert sie den tanzenden Körper selbst ganz explizit als das zentrale Archiv schlechthin.« Janine Schulze-Fellmann, tanz, 10 (2016) »Das Buch entwickelt in anschaulicher Darstellung ein Konzept der Tanzhistoriografie, dass die Entwicklungen seit den 1990er Jahren berücksichtigt und zu einer systematischen Betrachtung dieses Phänomens auffordert, das sich durch Tourneetätigkeit und Institutionalisierung immer noch und weiterhin in einem fortwährenden Entwicklungsprozess befindet.« Peter Dahms, TanzInfo Berlin, 03.06.2016 Besprochen in: KunstKulturLifestyle, 18.05.2016 Up To Dance, 4 (2016) Auskunft, 37/1 (2017), Assia M.

Abstract

"Choreographing Copyright provides a historical and cultural analysis of U.S.-based dance-makers' investment in intellectual property rights. Although federal copyright law in the U.S. did not recognize choreography as a protectable class prior to the 1976 Copyright Act, efforts to win copyright protection for dance began eight decades earlier. In a series of case studies stretching from the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first, the book reconstructs those efforts and teases out their raced and gendered politics. Rather than chart a narrative of progress, the book shows how dancers working in a range of genres have embraced intellectual property rights as a means to both consolidate and contest racial and gendered power. A number of the artists featured in Choreographing Copyright are well-known white figures in the history of American dance, including modern dancers Loie Fuller, Hanya Holm, and Martha Graham, and ballet artists Agnes de Mille and George Balanchine. But the book also uncovers a host of marginalized figures - from the South Asian dancer Mohammed Ismail, to the African American pantomimist Johnny Hudgins, to the African American blues singer Alberta Hunter, to the white burlesque dancer Faith Dane - who were equally interested in positioning themselves as subjects rather than objects of property, as possessive individuals rather than exchangeable commodities. Choreographic copyright, the book argues, has been a site for the reinforcement of gendered white privilege as well as for challenges to it. Drawing on critical race and feminist theories and on cultural studies of copyright, Choreographing Copyright offers fresh insight into such issues as: the raced and gendered hierarchies that govern the theatrical marketplace, white women's historically contingent relationship to property rights, legacies of ownership of black bodies and appropriation of non-white labor, and the tension between dance's ephemerality and its reproducibility"--

Abstract

Wars in this century are radically different from the major conflicts of the 20th century--more amorphous, asymmetrical, globally connected, and unending. Choreographies of 21st Century Wars is the first book to analyze the interface between choreography and wars in this century, a pertinent inquiry since choreography has long been linked to war and military training. The book draws on recent political theory that posits shifts in the kinds of wars occurring since the First and Second World Wars and the Cold War, all of which were wars between major world powers. Given the dominance of today's more indeterminate, asymmetrical, less decisive wars, we ask if choreography, as an organizing structure and knowledge system, might not also need revision in order to reflect on, and intercede in, a globalized world of continuous warfare. In an introduction and sixteen chapters, authors from a number of disciplines investigate how choreography and war in this century impinge on each other. Choreographers write of how they have related to contemporary war in specific works, while other contributors investigate the interconnections between war and choreography through theatrical works, dances, military rituals and drills, the choreography of video war games and television shows. Issues investigated include torture and terror, the status of war refugees, concerns surrounding fighting and peacekeeping soldiers, national identity tied to military training, and more. The anthology is of interest to scholars in dance, performance, theater, and cultural studies, as well as the social sciences.
