Chorégraphies du genre
« Chorégraphies du genre » met la danse au centre de la discussion autour des identités de genre, à penser par et avec la chorégraphie, définie comme la tradition de codes et de conventions au travers desquels est construite la signification en danse. L’article questionne la rapidité avec laquelle les termes de performance et de performativité ont été adoptés pour penser le genre, et insiste sur une lecture incorporée, au-delà des oppositions (th…
Sharing Dancing
Shifting Power in Maine
Between 2013 and 2019, a Maine Health Access Foundation community-based initiative provided place-based funding to communities to address system gaps and inefficiencies that impede the ability of Maine’s most vulnerable individuals to obtain essential services and supports. To rebalance power between the funder and grantees, the foundation introduced grantmaking practices such as long-term, flexible funding and new ways of relating to and support…
Guts ’n’ Brains
Looking back on my time at the Center from here, Los Angeles, now, one year into the Covid pandemic, it is both astonishing and deeply moving to remember what interweaving cultures of performance felt like
Dancing the Energy/Energizing the Dancing
Valuing Dance
Because dance materializes through and for people, because we learn to dance from others and often present dance to others, the moment of its transmission is one of dance's central and defining features. 'Valuing Dance' looks at the occasion when dancing passes from one person to another as an act of exchange, one that is redolent with symbolic meanings, including those associated with its history and all the labour that has gone into its making.…
Why Is There Always Energy for Dancing
This essay undertakes to illuminate the work of Randy Martin by surveying a range of theories offering hypothetical answers to the question of why dance seems to generate more energy than it demands, an experience often reported by those who engage in it. Coming from the disparate disciplines of social history, psychology, neurobiology, phenomenology, and aesthetics, these theories do not necessarily conflict with one another nor do they agree ab…
Movement after Randy Martin
This section collects a series of short reflections on the life, camaraderie, and scholarship of Randy Martin, a longtime member of the Social Text editorial collective. In place of definitive, authoritative analyses of Martin's work, these pieces present a montage of personal snapshots by people that collaborated, moved, thought, wrote, edited, and learned with him
Improvising Yoga
This chapter explores improvisation during the practice of yoga as a way to consider Foucault’s concept of “techniques of the self.” It describes and analyzes the way that the thinking body and the thinking mind can improvise together to construct a corporeality that resists the docilization of the body that is exerted through advertising, fitness, and health regimens. It thereby contributes to the investigation of improvisation and the politics …

Worlding Dance
Critical Theory and Performance
Choreographies of Protest
This essay reconstructs nonviolent protest during three moments in recent US history-the lunch counter sit-ins of 1960, the ACT-UP die-ins of the late 1980s, and the Seattle WTO protests in 1999, asking of them the kinds of questions that a dance scholar might pose. By showing how bodies make articulate choices based on their intelligent assessment of other bodies, the essay frames a new perspective on individual agency and collective action

Choreographies of Gender
Danses de l'écriture, courses dansantes et anthropologie de la kinesthésie
A Dance of Writing, a Dance of Running, and the Anthropology of Kinesthesia. A practical knowledge of dance, which grounds socio-political reality in the identity and differences of bodies, enables the reinterpretation of two famous anthropological anecdotes from Levi-Strauss and Geertz

The Dancing Body in Renaissance Choreography
The Signifying Body
For Rainer, the significance of Cage's contribution to art has nothing to do with allowing viewers to comprehend the excellence of as Cage himself suggests. Instead, Rainer heralds Cage's work because it undermines the determinate and hierarchical organization of meaning in the world of art and in the world, and thereby provides techniques for assessing the ideological functioning of the message, You are leading an excellent life, as one message …
