Watching Musical Symbols Grow
The changing forms of gestures used in choral conducting (both in rehearsal and performance) exemplify processes of symbol growth that challenge interpretations of Charles S. Peirce’s later hexadic semiotic as aligning with highly deterministic, (post-)structuralist theories of semiosis. The case in point discussed, a performance of Charles Ives’s A Christmas Carol, demonstrates that the Dynamic Object represented via the conductor’s changing ges…
Like a shark in the ocean
During the mid-1970s the extraordinarily dangerous style of free solo climbing (climbing without protection) emerged in the collective practice of a small community of "Stonemaster" climbers actively developing new climbing routes and the new "free" style of roped climbing in what is now Joshua Tree National Park, California. While its emergence might be interpreted as an affectively-driven, macho embodied social semiotic or ethnomotricity, in ac…

Foucault's Turn From Phenomenology
No critic of phenomenology, arguably, has been more influential in prefiguring recent discourses on power, gender, and sexuality that have emerged in dance studies in recent decades than the philosopher-historian-critic Michel Foucault. The number of dance scholars directly citing Foucault, and the number influenced indirectly by his ideas through intermediary theorists such as Judith Butler-perhaps the single most popular one-is so large as to r…
Bouldering in Yosemite
A representationalist-constructivist bias is prevalent in contemporary anthropological research on meaning making, particularly research on large-scale domains of human life. This bias assumes that conceptual and imagined forms of sign processing originate and determine all significance manifesting in environments signifying as greater than local. Lived experience, however, also can originate and influence, if not fully determine, large-scale pro…
Sensing Dance
Bali, the Camera, and Dance
Working in Bali in the late 1930s, anthropologists Gregory Bateson and Margaret Mead made an extraordinary advance in the understanding of human performance. They observed bodily practices constituting processes of signification that resembled linguistic communication far more closely than had ever been suspected. The Mead/Bateson theory of human performance prefigured research in performance studies that has only recently begun to challenge post…
Dancing from Past to Present
Choreographies of Tourism in Yosemite Valley
Tourism is often understood to be a trans-cultural phenomenon that radically alters the places in which it operates. As the leading phenomenologist of place Edward Casey has written, ‘To be cultura
Tourism-terrorism
Tourism destinations are increasingly subject to locational forms of violence that enable certain conceptualizations of terrorism. This enabling is undermined to some extent when touristic landscaping is understood from a phenomenological perspective and the darker side of its placelike character is illuminated. Touristic landscapes are capable of producing injurious, traumatic forms of disemplacement via their consumption-oriented spatializing o…

Giving the Body Its Due
Two Homes One Heart
When Seeing Is Believing
This article explores the changing subjective and objective visual significance of the sinulog dance of Cebu City, Philippines-a pre-Hispanic healing ritual adapted to the folk Catholic worship of the Santo Niho, and recently transformed into a secular, cultural performance. In the new context, the objectifying visual aspects of the sinulog developed predominant and autonomous relationships to other sensory experiences of the dancing, in particul…

Body, Movement, and Culture
In Body, Movement, and Culture , Sally Ann Ness provides an original interpretive account of three forms of sinulog dancing practiced in Cebu City in the Philippines: a healing ritual, a dance drama, and a "cultural" exhibition dance. Ness's examination of these dance forms yields rich insights into the cultural predicament of this Philippine city and the way in which kinesthetic and visual symbols interact to create meaning. Ness scrutinizes the…
Understanding Cultural Performance
Trobriand Cricket: An Ingenious Response to Colonialism was made in 1973 by anthropologist Jerry W. Leach and filmmaker Gary Kildea. As the interpretive camp in anthropology grows, and as interest in the way different peoples perform their culture increases, the importance of as a tool in anthropological education expands as well. Film offers the sort of text most appropriate for the study of cultural performance; however, the use of in anthropol…
