Dance as Text: Ideologies of the Baroque Body is a historical and theoretical examination of French court ballet of the late Renaissance and early baroque. Franko's analysis blends archival research with critical and cultural theory in order to resituate the burlesque tradition in its politically volatile context. He reveals the ideological tensions underlying experiments with autonomous dance in the early modern.

Dance and literary studies have traditionally been at odds: dancers and dance critics have understood academic analysis to be overly invested in the mind at the expense of body signification; literary critics and theorists have seen dance studies as anti-theoretical, even anti-intellectual. Bodies of the Text is the first book-length study of the interconnections between the two arts and the body of writing about them. The essays, by scholar-critics of dance and literature, explore dances actual and fictional to offer powerful new insights into issues of gender, race, ethnicity, popular culture, feminist aesthetics, historical "embodiment," identity politics, and narrativity. The general introduction traces the genealogy of dance studies in the academy to suggest why critical and theoretical attention to dance--and dance's challenges to writing--is both compelling and overdue. A milestone in interdisciplinary studies, Bodies of the Text opens both its fields to new inquiry, new theoretical precision, and to new readers and writers.

This collection of new essays explores the many ways in which writing relates to corporeality and how the two work together to create, resist or mark the body of the "Other." Contributors draw on varied backgrounds to examine different movement practices. They focus on movement as a meaning-making process, including the choreographic act of writing. The challenges faced by marginalized bodies are discussed, along with the ability of a body to question, contest and re-write historical narratives.

A groundbreaking investigation into issues of gender, power and representation of sovereignty in French Baroque dance repertoires -- in particular, court ballet -- and in today's performances of them. Mark Franko uses powerful interpretive tools derived from historiography and critical theory, especially the work of German-Jewish philosopher Walter Benjamin, to offer the reader both a historical and a theoretical interpretation of this genre of dance in France (c. 1600-1750), as well as its aftermath and legacy today. Through doing so, he reaches conclusions about how sovereignty and power were both perceived by viewers at the time and how they were represented through dance, given that it was the noble class who devised and performed court ballets. Other thinkers whose work is interrogated to further our understanding of the performance of power in French Baroque court ballet include: Ernst Kantorowicz, Judith Butler, Louis Marin, Eric Auerbach, Georgio Agamben, Jacques Derrida, Pierre Klossowski, Guy Debord, Carl Schmitt, Michel Foucault With wide breadth, and work by historians, philosophers, political scientist, critical theorists, musicologists and dance historians, this is the culmination of a career's-worth of scholarship and research in the field.

Excerpt from The Chalif Text Book of Dancing, Vol. 5 In presenting this volume to the favor of the teaching and dancing profession we do not claim to cover the whole field of toe dancing, nor to say that if one merely practice all the exercises of this book one will become a beautiful toe dancer. Such a limited student would certainly not, for the beautiful toe dancer must be a beautiful dancer as well, and in good dancing every part of the body is included. There is not room between the front and back covers of one book to tell all that is known about teaching how to dance beautifully. That would require at least one hundred volumes. The present work deals mostly with the legs; nor does it tell all about their technique either, for the toe dancer is expected to do many "stunts" with the legs, as well as the more natural movements of hopping and leaping, and none of those are included here. All that we claim to teach thru the following exercises is how to strengthen the toes so that they can carry the weight of the whole body, without giving way under the strain, and how to walk and stand correctly on the points.

"During the first third of the twentieth century, innovators and developers of modern dance evolved exercise systems, established schools, and published books on "dancing" illustrated by numerous photographs. Some of the books are by dancer-authors: Isadora Duncan, Raymond Duncan, Mary Beegle, Helen Moller, Margaret H'Doubler, Eleanor Elder, and Margaret Morris. These media - books and photographs - are also used by art critics, Charles Caffin and John E. Crawford Flitch and photographer, Arnold Genthe in books on dancing and dancers during this period, analysis of their works adds other dimensions to this study. The social, political, and cultural movements of radical utopianism, idealization of nature, rational recreation, anti-Victorianism, and the adulation of ancient Greek culture contribute to understanding the forces which influenced the newly emerging art forms of modern dance and photography."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
