- Inhalt
- In this seminar we will focus on a form of cultural expression that has long constituted an underrated field of research: dance, particularly modern dance. Not the least spurred by an increased critical attention to performativity and the body, dance studies have engaged in a dialogue with cultural studies since the mid-1980s and turned to explore aspects like the ideological underpinnings of stylized movement practices, the materiality of the body in motion, and the relevance of categories of age, race, gender, and sexuality for constructions and the reception of bodies in motion. Considering these theoretical concerns for our analyses, we will look at the philosophy and practice of key figures of modern dance - most notably Isadora Duncan, Katherine Dunham, Martha Graham, Zora Neal Hurston, and Alvin Ailey - and examine how these dancers engage the body and its social meanings in very different ways and to very different effects and purposes. In that context, we will explicate the relation of modern dance to sociocultural and historical paradigms of the period between 1910 and 1950.
