Session 5
Performance & the embodiment of privilege
Berggren
(2014) Hip hop feminism in Sweden: Intersectionality, feminist critique and female masculinity
Often hip hop >< race, class BUT it's also >< gender, sexuality
how
women negotiate gender norms of hip hop
in the case of Sweden
poststructuralist discourse analysis
the proper hip hop subject - black man >> a female artist (+white + mother) - a paradox
not only how female rappers challenge the norms, but also how they reproduce them
one of the topics - hip hop scene itself
the question of
female masculinity
playing classical elements of dominant forms of masculinity - agression, violence, "getting the girls"
Hermans
(2016) Differences in itself: Redefining disability through dance
dance as dominated by aesthetic of perfect bodies. Now - aesthetic of difference
focus on appearance (shape, technique, body as an object, Korper) > focus on how movement is connected to a sense of self (Leib) >> classified > experienced body BUT it's too binary, these concepts are interrelated
case study - dance film "The Cost of Living"
criticism: assumes an abled spectator, the only one disabled > "special" position, pity, heroism
Villa (2011)
Embodiment is always more: Intersectionality, subjection and the body
Case - the subculture of Argentine tango
Tango men/women are more than just men/women. They are extremely stereotypical
The concept of "performative mimesis" (mimetic acts - variations). The embodiment always fails (coz we are more than a social position, we are excessive as individuals)
"do embodiment"
danger of intersectional analysis - reductionism
the difference between categorical (more abstract) & practivcal logic
subject (discoursive position, institutionalized) vs individual + performative mimesis (Judith Butler)
Polasek, K.M. & Roper E.A. (2011), “Negotiating the gay male stereotype in ballet and modern dance’
homophobia in the dance community
the way heterosexual dancers deal with gay male stereotypes
