- Class Description:
- This course explores the historiography of dance in Asia, Middle East and Africa during the twentieth century through the present. We will focus on how performance and the reconstruction of dance practices relates to the context of patronage under traditional formation of state, colonialism and globalization. The staging of dance, and the artistic and aesthetic choices influenced by this complex history, cannot be separated from the terrain of body and politics in which they were created. From this theoretical perspective, we will explore and analyze negotiations among practitioners, which often reclaim and disclaim specific historical paths (for example: national dance, court dance, folk dance and contemporary dance). The course examine how the changing political terrain manifests through dance. We will also examine the pros and cons of the dance archive, how different primary and secondary sources such as literature, video, photographs, and other original documents capture dance as an ephemeral form. It examine how the political economy of dance practices influences the negotiation of their ownership, circulation, and distribution.
