Abstract

Chapter 6, Eros and objectivisation, takes its point of departure in tango's image as a sensual and erotic dance. Plato argues in various works that carnal eros (desire) must be transcended and transformed into the recognition of eternal beauty. He grounds the realisation of beauty in representations elicited by our visual sense and cognitive capabilities. Dancing is intrinsically somatic and sensory. This chapter devises a theory of beauty experiences that builds upon our embodied desires by proposing that the dynamic relationship between agency and patiency opens up an experience of the transcendence of the (agential) subject. This is possible when the dancer feels that they are danced by the dance proper, affording a simple awareness of movement while moving. The chapter also examines the importance of music for the formation and dissolution of the dancing agent. The chapter concludes that a beautiful experience of dancing must be understood as a somatic awareness that is, in equal measures, an awareness of action and in action. A pleasurable awareness of the flow of interaction reenters the interaction as an integral part of it.

Abstract

La psychanalyste et le danseur chorégraphe explorent, dans un dialogue abordant les concepts d'itinérance, d'intime, de jeu et de créativité, la complexité du langage corporel développé par le tango argentin. Dans un échange entre partenaires de danse, cette technique permettrait de déployer une subjectivité et de susciter une rencontre avec l'altérité. ©Electre 2023 Comme un tango, ce livre est une discussion à deux. Au fil de leurs échanges parfois légers et poétiques, les auteurs ont aussi tenté d'explorer la complexité du singulier et de l'universel portés par cette danse en croisant leurs regards, somme d'expériences, de réflexions et d'anecdotes. Le Tango argentin soutiendrait un langage et l'articulation d'une langue rendant possible une conversation silencieuse par les corps. Avec ce dialogue des partenaires, il permettrait de construire et de déployer, pour celui qui l'investit, sa subjectivité, sa rencontre avec l'altérité et sa sociabilité. Ce dialogue hybride entre la danse et la psychanalyse aborde les spécificités de cette culture comme l'itinérance, l'intime, le jeu, la rencontre, la créativité et la place cruciale de la musique. Autant de facettes clés qui permettent à la communauté tanguera de faire société dans les bals de tango : les milongas.[4ème de couverture]
