« Les chiens se poursuivent, sautent au nez des chevaux et je ne sais rien qui donne l'idée du jeu le plus heureusement libre que les ébats des marsouins qui se voient au large, émerger, plonger, vaincre un navire à la course […]. Est-ce déjà de la danse ? » Formulée en 1936, cette interrogation de Paul Valéry sur la danse interpelle les propos sur la modernité de cet art de la Belle époque à nos jours. Dès lors, anathèmes et glorifications entrent en scène et animent les débats. Œuvres, non-œuvres, danse, non-danse, etc. : bien vite le monde des arts accroît son vocabulaire jusqu'à intégrer à ses définitions des dé-définitions. S'incarnant en de multiples figures, ces formulations disparates et parfois paradoxales tentent de saisir et d'interpréter les nombreuses métamorphoses qui, au mépris des usages, touchent l'univers des œuvres et, d'un même geste, l'ordre du (bon) goût. Invitant histoire culturelle, histoire des arts et esthétique, c'est ce monde fascinant que ce livre propose d'explorer en scrutant une époque allant des avant-gardes artistiques à la « crise de l'art ».

Dance's galvanizing and transformative presence in art and theory over the last decade becomes part of a broader investigation of its dialogue with modernism's legacies. This collection surveys the choreographic turn in the artistic imagination from the 1950s onwards, and in doing so outlines the philosophies of movement instrumental to the development of experimental dance. By introducing and discussing the concepts of embodiment and corporeality, choreopolitics, and the notion of dance in an expanded field, Dance establishes the aesthetics and politics of dance as a major impetus in contemporary culture. It offers testimonies and writings by influential visual artists whose work has taken inspiration from dance and choreography. Dance because of its ephemerality, corporeality, precariousness, scoring, and performativity is arguably the art form that most clearly engages the politics of aesthetics in contemporary culture. Dance's ephemerality suggests the possibility of an escape from the regimes of commodification and fetishization in the arts. Its corporeality can embody critiques of representation inscribed in bodies and subjects. Its precariousness underlines the fragility of contemporary states of being. Scoring links it with conceptual art, as language becomes the articulator for possible as well as impossible modes of action. Finally, because dance always establishes a contract, or promise, between its choreographic planning and its actualization in movement, it reveals an essential performativity in its aesthetic project—a central concern for both art and critical thought in our time.
