Abstract

Long treated as peripheral to music history, dance has become prominent within musicological research, as a prime and popular subject for an increasing number of books, articles, conference papers and special symposiums. Despite this growing interest, there remains no thorough-going critical examination of the ways in which musicologists might engage with dance, thinking not only about specific repertoires or genres, but about fundamental commonalities between the two, including embodiment, agency, subjectivity and consciousness. This volume begins to fill this gap. Ten chapters illustrate a range of conceptual, historical and interpretive approaches that advance the interdisciplinary study of music and dance. This methodological eclecticism is a defining feature of the volume, integrating insights from critical theory, film and cultural studies, the visual arts, phenomenology, cultural anthropology and literary criticism into the study of music and dance.

Abstract

For the Tumbuka people of Malawi, traditional medical practices are saturated with music. In this groundbreaking ethnography, Steven M. Friedson explores a health care system populated by dancing prophets, singing patients, and drummed spirits. Tumbuka healers diagnose diseases by enacting divination trances in which they "see" the causes of past events and their consequences for patients. Music is the structural nexus where healer, patient, and spirit meet--it is the energizing heat that fuels the trance, transforming both the bodily and social functioning of the individual. Friedson shows how the sound of the ng'oma drum, the clapping of the choir, call-and-response singing, and the jangle of tin belts and iron anklets do not simply accompany other more important ritual activities--they are the very substance of a sacred clinical reality. This novel look at the relation between music and mental and biological health will interest medical anthropologists, Africanists, and religious scholars as well as ethnomusicologists.

Abstract

Wer schreibt die Tanzgeschichte und aufgrund von welchen Annahmen und Interessen? Wie findet Erinnerung Eingang in historiografische Prozesse und welche Rolle spielt dabei der Körper? Diese Fragen prägen seit den 1990er-Jahren die europäische Tanzszene und bilden Anlass für eine grundlegende Revision der Tanzgeschichtsschreibung. Ausgehend von Arbeiten u.a. von Boris Charmatz, Olga de Soto, Foofwa d'Imobilité und Thomas Lebrun, entwirft Julia Wehren das Konzept der »choreografischen Historiografien«. Sie hält der Flüchtigkeit des Tanzes seine Geschichtlichkeit entgegen und plädiert für eine Erweiterung des Archivs um den Körper in Bewegung. »Das Buch [kann] mit Gewinn als Einführung in ein weitverzweigtes Gebiet gelesen werden, an dem die Tanzwissenschaft seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre sehr interessiert ist und mit dem sich Wehren produktiv auseinandersetzt.« Katja Schneider, Forum Modernes Theater, 2 (2018) »[Der Autorin] gelingt nicht nur ein präziser Überblick über die wichtigsten Ansätze tanzwissenschaftlicher Archivforschung. Vielmehr verankert sie den tanzenden Körper selbst ganz explizit als das zentrale Archiv schlechthin.« Janine Schulze-Fellmann, tanz, 10 (2016) »Das Buch entwickelt in anschaulicher Darstellung ein Konzept der Tanzhistoriografie, dass die Entwicklungen seit den 1990er Jahren berücksichtigt und zu einer systematischen Betrachtung dieses Phänomens auffordert, das sich durch Tourneetätigkeit und Institutionalisierung immer noch und weiterhin in einem fortwährenden Entwicklungsprozess befindet.« Peter Dahms, TanzInfo Berlin, 03.06.2016 Besprochen in: KunstKulturLifestyle, 18.05.2016 Up To Dance, 4 (2016) Auskunft, 37/1 (2017), Assia M. Harwazinski
