DISCOURSES AND DANCE

An Introduction to the Analysis of the Resistance of Philosophy and Theory towards Dance

There is no greater enemy to the human body than being.

Antonin Artaud (1947)

INTRODUCTION

The aim of this study is to show that the practices, histories, and currencies of dance in relation to culture, society, and politics must be open311 to critical and analytical debate. And that debate must be free from the “traps of anecdotal narratives” and thereby theorised as a critical and analytical discourse with enough abstraction to be applied to the “epistemological critique” of the knowledge of contemporary dance. That means that, under the specific conditions of a transitional culture and sociality, under which I speak and write, I am trying to derive a theorisation of dance, art, culture, society, and politics as Althusserian material theoretical practices:

So a practice of theory does exist; theory is a specific practice which acts upon its own object and ends in its own product: a knowledge. Considered in itself, any theoretical work presupposes a given raw material and some “means of production” (the concepts of the ‘theory’ and the way they are used: the method).312
