Full textAbstract:
La Réunion is a former French colony where the coffee, vanilla — and later the sugarcane industry — brought together the mostly enslaved and indentured people from Madagascar, Africa, India, China and France. A quintessential part of this hybrid culture has been the development of maloya, an improvised music-and-dance form that so alienated French colonial authorities and landowners that it was unofficially banned until 1981. While maloya music has been taught since 1987 at Conservatoire de La Réunion and has reached international stages, maloya dance itself has rarely been explored academically, often relegated to the rank of superficial entertainment. The aim of the present research is to interrogate maloya: what it means to me as a practitioner of maloya and what it means as a culturally embodied art form.
Using the principles of practice-led research methodology and the research methods of a/r/tography (including qualitative interview methods, as well as studio practice, performance creation, teaching activities and narrative writing familiar with autoethnography), the research interrogates my subjective experience as a maloya artist, researcher and teacher in Australia. As an art form, the research identifies the improvised technique of maloya dance. The research argues that maloya is comprised of elements of La Réunion’s history: dislocation, slavery, ‘third space’, hybridization and freedom. Thus, analysing the teaching of maloya in Australia is the teaching of Réunionese identity. The different spaces, the different audiences and the different intentions of the dancer all play into how the dancer moves. When performed at an International Arts Festival, maloya is different to its presence at a backyard neighbourhood party or in a sacred ritual honouring the ancestors.
The research is neither definitive nor interested in providing a generalisable formula for a transnational theory on adapting dance for different audiences or for different purposes (such as for performance or for teaching), rather the motivation behind the research is to fully interrogate an underexplored dance form and to better understand the origins and composition of a dance form that I carry in every step of my feet. Maloya is the conceptualisation and representation of who I am and how key Réunionese artists see themselves through maloya. The research argues that maloya contributes to identity formation, maintenance and evolution and that the history of surviving dispossession and oppression informs a certain type of cultural, linguistic and artistic identity, similar to the powerful idea of batarsité.
As a teacher of maloya in Australia, it became clear that the dance as an artistic representation informs the negotiation of intersecting identities and that this perspective — in conjunction with the participant observation, field trips and interviews with maloya artists and experts — sits comfortably alongside my subjective experience of teaching and performing maloya. The research is an important critical yet subjective interrogation of a dance form that is embraced by its people as not only a powerful symbol of freedom from oppression, but also emblematic of everyday life on a post-colonial island.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is the result of more than ten years involvement with outdoor dance events
in Aotearoa, with a specific focus on Te Wai Pounamu (South Island) and Otautahi
(Christchurch). Two symbiotic themes are explored here – that of the significance of the
landscape in inspiring a conversion to tribal-based spirituality at the events, and the role
of the music in ‘painting’ a picture of Aotearoa in sound, with an emphasis on those
musicians heard in the outdoor dance zones. With no major publications or studies
specific to Aotearoa to reference, a framework based on global post-rave culture has been
included in each chapter so that similarities and differences to Aotearoa dance culture
may be established. Using theoretical frameworks that include Hakim Bey’s TAZ
(Temporary Autonomous Zone), the carnivalesque, and tribalism, the overriding theme to
emerge is that of utopia, a concept that in Aotearoa is also central to the Pākehā
mythology that often stands in for a hidden violent colonial history, of which te Tiriti o
Waitangi (the Treaty of Waitangi) has been a source of division since it was signed in
1840. Thus, in the Introduction several well-known local songs have been discussed in
relation to both the Pākehā mythology and the history of te Tiriti in order to contextualise
the discussion of the importance of Māori and Pākehā integration in the dance zones in
the following chapters.
The thesis comprises of two main themes: the events and the music. At the events I
took a participatory-observer approach that included working as rubbish crew, which
provided a wealth of information about the waste created by the organisers and vendors,
and the packaging brought in by the dancers. Thus the utopian visions that were felt on
the dancefloor are balanced with descriptions of the dystopian reality that when the
dancers and volunteers go home, becomes the responsibility of a strong core of
‘afterparty’ crew.
Musically, the development of a local electronic sound that is influenced by the
environmental soundscape, along with the emergence of a live roots reggae scene that
promotes both positivity and political engagement, has aided spiritual conversion in the
dance zones. Whereas electronic acts and DJ’s were the norm at the Gathering a decade
ago, in 2008 the stages at dance events are a mixture of electronic and live acts, along
with DJ’s, and most of the performers are local. Influenced by a strong reggae movement
in Aotearoa, along with Jamaican/UK dance styles such as dub and drum and bass, local
‘roots’ musicians are weaving a new philosophy that is based on ancient tribal practices,
environmentalism and the aroha (love) principles of outdoor dance culture. The sound of
the landscape is in the music, whilst the vocals outline new utopian visions for Aotearoa
that acknowledge the many cultures that make up this land. Thus, in Aotearoa dance
music lies the kernel of hope that Aotearoa dance culture may yet evolve to fulfil its
potential.

Full textAbstract:
Electronic dance music is a genre that has been long in the making. Starting with disco in the 1970s, dance culture genres evolved into house, acid house, techno, garage, 2-step, hardcore, gabba, san frandisco, electro, and many others. This paper studies the transformation of electronic sound, and the contributing/impeding factors involved. Drug use is heavily related to the creation and enjoyment of music, and features prominently in the history of dance culture. Starting with the use of acid in the 1960s and progressing to the use of acid, Quaaludes, poppers, speed in the 1970s, with MDA featured in clubs toward the end of the decade. The 1980s began the recreational use of MDMA, but not until the late 80s in UK acid parties did it become known as the party drug that it is known as today. MDMA use then spread rampantly throughout the US as the UK culture was exported and emulated. UK acid parties were the precursor to raves, which were illegal, and the backlash from the law was incredible and organized. Slowly licensing laws became more relaxed, and permits became easier to obtain, making future raves more legal, but according to ravers, less fun, ending at 2am instead of 8am, and forcing the drugs scene underground, rather than having them openly solicited. Organized crime in the UK got much worse as gangs realized the potential profits of selling drugs, and the scene forever changed because of this in the early 90s. The raves of the early 90s in New York, the Midwest, and San Francisco, were paradise in comparison. San Francisco enjoyed the most freedom, and beach raves became common. The electronic dance culture found a home in large festivals, and perhaps because of this the future of electronic music remains uncertain, especially with the casualties that have recently happened relating to ecstasy use, and complications in organizing such massive events.

Barnes, Duncan Martin. "Selling the modern day tribe: The commodification of rave culture." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2018. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/2107.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines youth and rave culture from the late 1980s to the present. It considers the history as well as the global and local impact of rave. I provide a visual ethnographic study from 1999-2014, based on my work as a commercial photographer of the Perth, Western Australian scene. While critically reflecting on existing subcultural research this thesis adds another dimension – the effect that global corporations have had in reshaping subcultural practices, specifically the commodification of rave culture in the form of the contemporary electronic dance festival.
The research incorporates both qualitative and quantitative data to interrogate media coverage on rave culture as well as interviews and first hand experience within the rave scene. I analyse mainstream print and electronic media reporting of rave as a deviant youth subcultural practice linked to the use of the drug ecstasy. I consider the effect this had on rave and it’s rebranding to become known in contemporary times as EDM (electronic dance music). As a result I examine how rave has shifted from a youth subcultural activity to being not only mainstream and commercial, but also owned and controlled by global corporations. My discussion of the conventions of festival/music scenes will demonstrate how rave, which once operated outside ‘acceptable’ boundaries, has become a part of the conventional norm.
A unique aspect of this thesis is the inclusion and analysis of my photographs taken over a 15 year period that document the changes that occurred as rave transitioned from a subversive underground scene to corporate run multimillion dollar events. The photographs are also compiled into an accompanying monograph. The monograph allows for an immersive visual experience of non-staged event images and predetermined studio and location photographs. The book offers what words alone cannot fully engage with – a representation of what was and remains a highly visual scene, based on fashion, performance and settings.

Full textAbstract:
In-depth interviews were conducted with women who use ecstasy for recreation, mainly in the context of the dance event. The aim was to discover the meaning of ecstasy use, and its surrounding culture, for women in the late 1990s. A further endeavour involved disclosing how the body was experienced at the dance event and what this meant to the women. Existential phenomenological analysis led to the following key conclusions. The dance event is experienced as a social space that allows women to be themselves and find a strong sense of belonging. There may be apparent dependence upon the experiences surrounding ecstasy. But, the journey of ecstasy use allows alterations in attitude, and transitions in life, to be experienced, which the women view positively. The women use ecstasy for pleasure, believe themselves to be independent in their use, and do not view their actions as deviant. These findings are important to scholarly literature on female drug users because they redress the gender balance by presenting the specific experiences of women. They also have implications for social policy and health service provision, in the sense that this description of a social world enables understanding, enhances communication and, thus, betters education.

Resumo: A pesquisa reconstrói a história do Grupo Cultural Meninas de Sinhá formado, majoritariamente, por mulheres negras, da terceira idade, moradoras de uma favela da cidade de Belo Horizonte, que conquistaram reconhecimento com a prática de difusão das cantigas de roda. A reconstrução da trajetória de desenvolvimento do grupo teve como principal suporte metodológico a história oral e o diálogo com outras pesquisas. As mudanças ocorridas a partir da vivência de uma prática mais ritualística para uma prática burilada pela produção cultural ampliaram o reconhecimento do grupo. Portanto, a análise da prática é realizada pelos seus elementos constitutivos: o mito fundador, a ciranda, a dança, a música e a produção cultural
Abstract: This research reconstructs the story of the cultural group Meninas de Sinhá, which is mainly formed by middle-aged black women who live in a slum in Belo Horizonte and gained recognition through the performance of circle songs. The reconstruction of the group¿s trajectory had oral history and dialogue with other research reports as its methodological support. The changes which occurred from a more ritualistic approach to a practice guided by cultural production increased the group recognition. Therefore, the analysis of the practice is made from its constituent elements: the foundation myth, the ciranda, dance, music and cultural production

Introduction -- "Back to this subculture thing": literature review and methodology -- "The crowd went berserk": dance music and club culture in Sydney and Australia -- "Once you find a groove you've got to keep it locked": the role and significance of the DJ -- "There's a great myth about that": DJ culture in Sydney -- "You're not a real DJ unless you play vinyl": technology and formats: the progression of dance music and DJ culture -- "What is underground really?": defining the structure, significance and meaning of dance culture -- "Where are they going to go next?": shifting the focus of dance music studies.
The development of contemporary, post-disco dance music and its associated culture, as representative of a (supposedly) underground, radical subculture, has been given extensive consideration within popular music studies. Significantly less attention has been given to the commercial, mainstream manifestations of this music. Furthermore, demonstrating the influence of subculture theory, existing studies of dance culture focus largely on youth-based audience participation, and as such, those who engage with dance music on a professional level have been somewhat overlooked. In an attempt to rectify these imbalances, this study examines the contemporary commercial dance music scene in Sydney, Australia, incorporating an analytical framework that revolves mainly around the work of DJs and the commercial scene they operate within.--An ethnographic methodological approach underpins the majority of this thesis, with interviews forming the main source of research material. Beginning with a discussion of the existing academic literature on dance culture and dance scenes, an historical context is subsequently established through a section that traces the development of dance culture from an underground phenomenon to a mainstream leisure activity, both within and outside Australia.--The ideas, opinions and interpretations of a selection of local DJs and other music industry practitioners who work in Sydney are central to the analysis of DJ culture herein. Issues discussed include the interaction and relationship between the DJ and their crowd, the technology and formats employed by DJs, and the DJ's multiple roles as entertainer, consumer and educator. The final part of the study gives consideration to the structure of the Sydney dance scene, in regard to the frequently used, but rarely critically analysed, terms 'underground' and 'mainstream'. The thesis concludes with a discussion that challenges the structural rigidity imposed by subcultural theory and scene-based analysis, arguing instead for a greater degree of fluidity in the theoretical approaches taken towards the study of contemporary dance music scenes.

Full textAbstract:
“Dance and forget your sickness” - An ethnological study of the interaction between patients and the medical conceptual world, and the role of music in a healing process. This study is based on interviews with four people. It describes their experiences with the health care system and the role of music in their lives. What these people have in common is that their illnesses are not verifiable from a normal medical perspective. The overall purpose is to describe this interaction with medical care and discuss what role music might have in the mitigation of the perceived illness. The patient-healthcare interaction is analysed from a theoretical discourse perspective. The analysis reveals some of the mechanisms in the medical establishment’s discourse that reinforce its own conclusions by simplifying what is actually quite complex; the inner world of the patient. Considering the powerful position medical science has taken in our modern world it is relevant for medicine to be able to respond to and manage health problems arising in complex personal processes, or what can be described as existential illness. This study describes how the current healthcare establishment has come to focus unilaterally on physical health, supplanting the existential dimension of health that it cannot respond to. The results of this study showed that all people experienced that (current established) healthcare alone could not cure their illness in a satisfactory manner. The study also showed that music played a major role in the relief of specific symptoms. Music also helped patients find meaning, despite their illness, as part of a greater cultural and social world.daniel@varia.nu

Full textAbstract:
The use of music for healing is ubiquitous in every human community. Music Therapy, however, as the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional, may not share the same pervasive prevalence in human society. This study explored how a culturally-sensitive music therapy process may be designed among baTonga of Mazabuka, particularly in relation to the participants’ existing understandings of masabe (musical healing ritual) Participants' perceptions of musical healing rituals of masabe were explored through focus groups, as well as, if the participants were amenable, to the use of musical healing rituals. We then designed a music therapy session together. The participants expressed delight at their involvement in the study as it communicated interest in their lives. The study affirmed their worldview and how that could be incorporated into wellness responses associated with their community. The study found that baTonga rely on musical healing rituals as they are aligned to their relational cosmology and accommodates their perceptions of wellbeing. BaTonga ritual music is rich in symbolism and imagery. Because buTonga personhood might be experienced at the intersection of the individual and the community, and at the intersection of the individual, the community and the natural environment, this study found that music therapy here would benefit from drawing on ecologically-informed community music therapy approaches. A music therapist’s role in buTonga may be seen similarly to how the role of a mun’ganga (an afflicted shamanic healer) is perceived in the community. The study argues that there is indeed a place for culture-centred, culturally sensitive and inclusive anti-oppressive music therapy among BuTonga. This research study contributes to the ongoing conversation about evolving meanings, theories, approaches and practices of music therapy.Dissertation (MMus)--University of Pretoria, 2019.

Full textAbstract:
Dans la capitale péruvienne, trois danses continuent de rythmer la vie des Ayacuchanos émigrés bien que leurs contextes de performance aient subi des changements radicaux. Il s‟agit de danses de compétition réservées à des artistes spécialistes : la danse des ciseaux, celle des huaylías et celle des negritos de cinta. Dans les villages de la sierra, ces expressions représentent de véritables rituels qui s‟inscrivent au coeur des relations socioreligieuses de la communauté : elles les figurent mais participent aussi à leur renouvellement et à leur équilibre. Associée à celle qui en découle dans le domaine agricole, cette action contribue à unir la communauté et à assurer sa perpétuation tout en prenant en compte les changements et les évolutions. Ce rôle est appuyé par les modèles musico-chorégraphiques eux-mêmes puisqu‟ils laissent une grande marge de liberté et incitent à la variation et à la création. Les artistes, fins connaisseurs des usages sociaux, offrent ainsi un reflet de la société dans ce qu‟ils dansent et jouent. Le public, lui, gère la nouveauté à la fois pendant la performance mais aussi à travers les diverses mémoires qui se construisent autour des danses. De ce fait, le milieu de Lima apporte essentiellement l‟innovation et celui de la sierra la valide. Les trois danses agissent aussi dans ce sens sur le plan social : elles favorisent une certaine indépendance entre le milieu migrant et les villages tout en maintenant une unité communautaire en dehors d‟un territoire physique. Ainsi, malgré la migration, leur rôle n‟a pas vraiment changé mais s‟est juste adapté à la nouvelle situationIn the Peruvian capital, the Ayacuchano migrants‟ life is still governed by the rhythm of three dances even if their performances have undergone radical changes in their circumstances. They are competition dances restricted to specialist dancers, i.e. the scissors dance, the huaylías‟ dance and the dance of the negritos de cinta. In the sierra villages, these expressions represent genuine rituals which lie deep within the community‟s socio-religious relationships: they are their symbols but they also participate in renewing and ensuring their equilibrium. Being combined with following actions at an agricultural level, this activity contributes to uniting the community and securing its perpetuation while taking into account changes and evolutions. This role is backed up by musical-choreographic patterns since these patterns leave significant room for interpretation and encourage variations and creation. Thus the artists who are real connoisseurs of social practices present a reflection of society in what they dance or perform. As for audiences, they control the latest elements both during the performance and within the different memories built around dances. In fact the Lima milieu essentially provides innovation and the sierra environment ratifies it. The three dances also have a similar influence at a social level: they favour some independence between the migrant environment and the villages while preserving a unity of the community outside a physical territory. Consequently in spite of migration, their role has not really changed; it has simply adapted itself to the new situation

Full textAbstract:
Esta dissertação apresenta as controvérsias que envolvem músicos, produtores e públicos apreciadores no que diz respeito ao forró, seus bailes, danças e músicas. A partir das denominações que se atribuem aos estilos desse gênero musical (como forró eletrônico, pé-deserra e universitário), este trabalho visa a discorrer sobre os significados atribuídos a tais termos em diferentes contextos e por atores distintos na disputa pela definição e legitimação da maneira de se tocar o forró. Mais do que distinguir um tipo específico de fazer musical, essas classificações ajudam a configurar gostos, opiniões e a organizar os bailes de forró presentes na cidade de São Paulo, local privilegiado da pesquisa. Esses bailes ocorrem em vários bairros da metrópole e abrangem diferentes circuitos e classes sociais. As classificações dadas ao forró ajudam também a delimitar os significados dessas classes sociais em contextos distintos e relacionar o que se faz no Sudeste do País ao que é produzido no Nordeste, local tido como origem do gênero. Assim, tenta-se compreender como e por que se configura essa associação entre um gênero de música popular, uma forma de lazer e a hierarquização dos espaços onde ocorrem suas práticas, a partir do ponto de vista da distinção social. O principal objetivo da pesquisa, portanto, é compreender como se dá, a partir da confluência dos três elementos (música, dança e baile) e das distintas representações de sua origem, a produção social da diferença que separa músicos, públicos e demais apreciadores em espaços e circuitos diversos.This dissertation presents the controversies in which musicians, producers and publics are involved with in what concerns forró, its parties, dances and music. In view of the denominations given to the styles of forró as a musical genre (such as electronic forró, pé-deserra and universitário), this work aims at exposing the meanings comprised by those words in different contexts, by different actors in the dispute over the definition and authentication of how to play the forró. More than to distinguish a specific kind of music making, those assortments of forró help form tastes, opinions and organize forró parties in São Paulo, the site focused on on the research. The parties occur in several neighborhoods of the metropolis and embrace different social classes and circuits. The classifications attributed to the forró also help to delimit the meanings of these social classes in different contexts and connect what is made in the Southeast of the country to what is produced in the Northeast, place know as the point of origin of forró. Thus, this dissertation asks how and why there is, from the point of view of the social distinction, an association among a popular musical genre, a source of leisure and the hierarchy of the spaces where forró parties take place. The main objective of this research, therefore, is, from the confluence of these three elements (music, dance and party) and from the distinct representations of the forró\'s origin, understand how the social production of difference that separates musicians, producers, publics and any other appraisers in various places and social circuits is made.

Este trabalho trata da circulação de notícias do maxixe brasileiro nos jornais estadunidenses no começo do século XX. Os periódicos colhidos no repositório Newspaperarchive foram sistematizados nos moldes de um corpus documental. Este foi o principal objetivo do trabalho ora apresentado: produzir um instrumento de pesquisa através da construção de uma coletânea com todas as matérias a respeito do maxixe brasileiro, publicadas nos jornais dos Estados Unidos, na forma de anúncios, artigos, contos, notas, notícias e poemas, entre 1906 momento em que encontramos a primeira notícia focalizando o tema , e o final dos anos 1930, quando já vinha se desenvolvendo no Brasil uma música tipicamente nacional e os produtos da cultura brasileira já tinham circulado pelo mundo, especialmente Europa e Estados Unidos. No período estudado, música popular é música de divertimento, feita para dançar. Dançar nos salões do Brasil, nos dancings de Paris, nos ballrooms americanos, mais do que moda, era uma forma de participar da sociedade, de se inteirar das novidades, dos passos mais conhecidos, afinal a música popular e a dança coreográfica são expressões artísticas que transitam entre as diferentes classes sociais. O maxixe nasceu miscigenado, reflete a misturada de ritmos e gêneros, presentes no Brasil desde o século XVIII, como o batuque, o lundu (ambos de matriz africana). Mas, recebeu também forte influência de gêneros europeus como a modinha, e mais tarde da polca (século XIX) e do choro uma invenção brasileira. Como toda dança, causou escândalo quando surgiu, em virtude dos movimentos considerados ousados, extravagantes e lascivos. Pouco a pouco, os passos exibidos nos cabarés do Rio de Janeiro transformaram-se, adequando-se aos ambientes dignos da sociedade brasileira, e é assim que passam a ocupar os salões frequentados pelas classes mais abastadas. No eixo internacional, Paris foi a bússola que orientou e pautou os códigos de comportamento no mundo inteiro, principalmente durante a Belle Époque. As viagens de músicos, agentes, mecenas etc. e de objetos sonoros através do Atlântico são vistas pela perspectiva da transculturação. O contato entre grupos de culturas diferentes contribui para que os artistas e sua arte se transformem e isso ocorre independente do processo de dominação econômica, uma vez que todos passam por mudanças (dominados e dominantes). Por outro lado, o conceito de triangulação é apropriado para compreender o modo como circulam os objetos sonoros e dançantes, e proporciona o mapeamento dos lugares por onde transitaram tais objetos, colaborando para a percepção dos aspectos que estão em jogo na circulação deles. Nos Estados Unidos, as escolas, as universidades e a técnica, de um lado; e a família e os professores de dança, de outro, foram centrais ao processo de branqueamento que permitiu a aceitação do maxixe. Por outro lado, o teatro de caráter trovadoresco - onde se inclui o vaudeville e, mais tarde, os musicais no teatro e no cinema, colaboraram para que a música e a dança maxixe continuassem presentes naquele país, avançando além dos anos 1930. A difusão do maxixe obedeceu à lógica da indústria cultural, articulando-se aos mecanismos de reprodutibilidade próprios do mercado.This paper explores the circulation of Brazilian maxixe news in American newspapers at the beginning of the 20th century. The journals collected in the Newspaperarchive repository were systematized in the form of a documentary corpus. This was the main objective of the work presented here: to produce a research instrument through the construction of a collection of all the Brazilian maxixe materials, published in the United States newspapers, in the form of advertisements, articles, short stories, notes, news and poems, between 1906 - when we found the first news focusing on the theme - and the late 1930s, when Brazilian music was already developing in Brazil, and the products of Brazilian culture had already circulated throughout the world, especially in Europe and the United States. In the period studied, popular music is fun music, made for dancing. Dancing in the halls of Brazil, in the dancings of Paris, in the American ballrooms, more than fashion, was a way to participate in society, to find out about the news, the best known steps, after all, popular music and choreographic dance are artistic expressions which pass through the different social classes. Maxixe was born miscegenated, reflects the \"mixed\" rhythms and genres, present in Brazil since before the 18th century, such as the batuque, the lundu (both African matrix). But it was also strongly influenced by European genres such as modinha, and later by the polka (19th century) and choro - a Brazilian invention. Like all dance, it caused scandal when it arose, by virtue of the movements considered daring, extravagant and lascivious. Little by little, the steps displayed in the cabarets of Rio de Janeiro were transformed, adapting themselves to the \"dignified\" places of Brazilian society, and that is how they began to occupy the ballrooms frequented by the wealthiest classes. On the international axis, Paris was the compass that guided and led the codes of behavior throughout the world, especially during the Belle Époque. The trips of musicians, agents, patrons, etc. and sound objects across the Atlantic are seen from the perspective of transculturation. The contact between groups of different cultures contributes to the transformation of artists and their art, and this occurs independently of the process of economic domination, since all undergo changes (dominated and dominant). On the other hand, the concept of triangulation is appropriate to understand the way the sound and dance objects circulate, and it provides a mapping of the places through which these objects transited, collaborating to the perception of the aspects that are at play in their circulation. In the United States, schools, universities and technique, on the one hand; And family and dance teachers on the other, were central to the bleaching process that allowed the acceptance of the maxixe. On the other hand, theater like a vaudeville and, later, musicals in the theater and in the cinema, collaborated so that the music and the maxixe dance continued present in that country, advancing beyond the 1930s. Diffusion of the maxixe obeyed the logic of the cultural industry, articulating itself to the mechanisms of reproducibility proper to the market.

Informacinė sklaida šiomis dienomis yra kaip niekad intensyvi ir įvairialypė. Komunikacinių kanalų gausa ir įvairovė sukuria galimybę aktyviai dalyvauti komunikaciniuose procesuose net pačioms mažiausioms ir uždariausioms visuomenės grupėms. Nuo to, kokiais visuomenės informavimo kanalais ir kokio pobūdžio informacija skelbiama apie tam tikrą grupę, gali priklausyti tiek jos visuomeninio įvaizdžio kaita, tiek tolimesnės raidos tendencijos. Elektroninės šokių muzikos subkultūra – viena iš įdomesnių sociokultūrinių grupių, kurios komunikacijos pobūdis su žiniasklaida ir yra šio darbo objektas. Darbe užsibrėžtas tikslas atskleisti žiniasklaidos ir elektroninės šokių muzikos subkultūros santykį, įvertinti šio santykio kiekybinius ir kokybinius pokyčius per dešimtmetį, išryškinti komunikacinius ypatumus bei išsiaiškinti komunikacijos privalumus ir trūkumus.

Plenty of various communication channels enable even the smallest and most reserved society groups to participate in communication processes actively. The choice of certain communication channels and information, that should be published, may influence the changes of the group‘s public image as well as further development of it. Electronic dance music subculture is one of the most interesting sociocultural groups, therefore its communication with mass media has been chosen as the object of this paperwork. The goal of this paperwork is to reveal the relation between electronic dance music subculture and the media, to evaluate both quantitative and qualitative changes of this relation during the last decade, to highlight the most important features of the communication of this subculture, to find its main advantages and disadvantages. The hypothesis of the research suggests that the electronic dance music subculture is more visible in the media than it was a decade ago, that the problematic context of the messages is rarer, and the content of the messages is more positive and commercial. In order to achieve the chosen goal and to prove the hypothesis there were messages about the subculture, published in the news portal delfi.lt in October–November of 2001, 2002 and 2009, examined, and several experts – electronic dance music subculture members, media editors and culture researchers – interviewed.

Älvsjö är stark trafikknytpunkt med goda pendeltåg- och bussförbindelser och en målpunkt för alla besökare till populära Stockholmsmässan. En Kulturskola i Älvsjö skulle förstärka och utveckla platsen ytterligare som en mötesplats och koppla ihop Älvsjö centrum, Älvsjö station med Stockholmsmässan. En kulturell mötesplats där barn och ungdomar mellan 6-22 år kan mötas i samband med kulturella aktiviteter såsom dans, musik, teater och bild. Konceptet är att skapa ett tydligt publikt stråk genom byggnaden som tar besökaren från stationen ner till parken och eventuellt vidare till Stockholmsmässan. Kulturstråket är publikt och tillgänglig för alla och skall synliggöra aktiviteterna som sker i byggnaden. Låta folk ta del av det som sker på kulturskolan i form av utställningar och framträdanden i anslutning till kulturstråket. Kulturstråket är navet i kulturskolan där barn, ungdomar och deras föräldrar samlas i väntan på lektionerna. Kulturstråket är själva foajén och huvudrummet i kulturskolan där även andra besökare kan använda det som passage och beskåda det som sker i byggnaden med alla dess kulturella aktiviteter.

A cultural meeting place where children and young people between 6-22 years can meet in conjunction with cultural activities such as dance, music, theater and art. The concept is to create a distinct public way through the building that takes the visitor from the Älvsjö station down to the park and possibly further on to Stockholmsmässan. The Cultural highway is public and accessible for everybody. Let people take note of what is happening in the cultural school and be part of the exhibitions and performances taking place. The Cultural highway is the hub of the cultural school where childrens, teenagers and their parents gathers in anticipation of the lessons. The Cultural highway is the foyer and the main room in the school where other visitors can use it as a passage and take part of what happens in the building with all its cultural activities.

Full textAbstract:
In der Arbeit wird das Zusammentreffen der aus dem Club kommenden Electronic Dance Music (EDM) mit dem massenmedial konsolidierten Musikvideo untersucht. Diskutiert wird die These eines ästhetischen Paradigmenwechsels, der sich dadurch im Musikvideo vollzieht. Dieser beruht vor allem auf der musikalischen Figur des instrumentalen, modularen Tracks, die sich signifikant von der des Songs unterscheidet. Der originäre Zweck des Musikvideos, den Auftritt des Interpreten auf dem Monitor zu visualisieren, steht also mit dem Track zur Disposition oder wird gar obsolet; das erfordert neue Strategien der Bebilderung. Teil I und II der Arbeit verorten Musikvideo und EDM im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs und versammeln die jeweiligen ästhetischen Attribute. In Teil III wird anhand der Club Visuals die Beziehung von Tracks und Bildern erörtert, um darüber die veränderte Klang-Bild-Konstellation im Musikvideo durch EDM herzuleiten. In Teil IV werden die Erkenntnisse anhand der Fallstudie, dem Musikvideo „Windowlicker“ von Aphex Twin (Musik) und Chris Cunningham (Regie) aus dem Jahr 1999 ausgewertet und angewendet. Die Arbeit möchte die Dimension der ästhetischen Studien um das Musikvideo erweitern und verdeutlichen, wie sich das Musikvideo auch unter veränderten klanglichen Bedingungen als unentbehrlicher Bestandteil der Aufführung von Popmusik in der Monitorkultur erweist und als künstlerisches Genre unbedingt ernst zu nehmen ist, da sich in ihm zeitgenössische Avantgarden abbilden können.This thesis explores the relationship between Electronic Dance Music (EDM) which originated in clubs, and the mass media consolidated music video. Focussing on how EDM influences the music video, an aesthetic paradigm shift on the latter is discussed. This change stemmed mainly from the structure of the instrumental, modular EDM track, which is significantly different from the structure of the song. Originally, the music video was intended as way of visualising the performance of the artist on the monitor; however, the advent of instrumental EDM tracks posed critical problems for this approach, and arguably renders it obsolete. New strategies of illustrations are required. Parts I and II of this thesis analyse music video and EDM through scientific discourses in an attempt to define their respective aesthetic attributes. In part III the relationship between tracks and images in club visuals is discussed in order to illustrate the singularity of this dialogue. In part IV, conclusions from the foregoing sections are evaluated and applied to a study of “Windowlicker” by British artist Aphex Twin, the video to which was directed by Chris Cunningham in 1999. The purpose of this thesis is to extend the aesthetic studies of the music video to clarify its status as an essential part of popular music in monitor culture. As an artistic genre it has to be taken seriously because it can display contemporary avant-gardes.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore emerging issues surrounding gendered fear, threat, and violence perpetration at music festivals – particularly events that feature a synthesis of jam band and electronic dance music acts – a genre termed jamtronica by its fans. Though gendered violence perpetration and prevention have been widely studied within other party-oriented settings (i.e., sexual violence perpetration on college campuses), very little research exists to address how wider disparities of gender and sexuality permeate a community whose members frequently claim the scene’s immunity from external inequalities.
In this three-year multi-sited ethnography, I incorporate participant observations, group and individual interviews, and textual analyses to progressively layer investigations into: 1) festival-goers’ gender-bifurcated perceptions of the problems they face within the event arena; 2) how institutional and interactional inequalities fuel gender-sexual expectations that exacerbate the risks with which festival-going women’s contend; and, 3) how jamtronica’s “libertarian and libertine” codes complicate women’s negotiations of (sub)cultural agency, expression, and safety. Findings derived across fourteen sites, interviews with 179 festival participants, and countless material texts suggest that men and women do perceive festival “problems” in very different ways – subsequently leading women to calculatedly navigate festival terrains, interactions, and self-presentations in ways that festival-going men seldom must. Protected by scene norms that paradoxically elevate personal autonomy and group integration, festival-going men’s homosocial displays of masculinity (through pranks, drinking and drug use, and even sexual predation) often goes unchallenged – or, is seemingly even encouraged.
In an environment that both scholars and study participants claim to eclipse mainstream inequalities of gender and sexuality, a closer look reveals the multiplex ways that festival-going women risk their physical, social, and sexual well-beings in order to pursue the emancipatory promises that jamtronica music festival community discourses purport. For this understudied, yet rapidly growing, subcultural scene, this study offers conceptual and analytical foundations to event-specific violence prevention programming, as well as gender and sexuality-centric initiatives paramount to ever-diversifying jamtronica music festival communities.

The school as a place is a platform for meetings and cultural expression. The design of the building touches both old as well as later architecture and creates a relationship between them that reflects the ambiguous identity of Älvsjö. The school building creates an imaginative sphere for learning and for play, which claims child culture's inviolable right to space in the city.

Paul Dukas (1865-1935) is a formidable figure in early twentieth-century French music, yet little recent scholarship has properly recognised his importance. To remedy this situation this dissertation explores Paul Dukas's last large-scale work La Peri, poeme danse (composed in 1911), with the specific aim of revealing ways in which musical multimedia correspond in order to express the scenario in a balletic context.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur la mise en scène des répertoires traditionnels ouïghours, dans sa forme musicale, chorégraphique et théâtrale. Depuis plusieurs décennies, les grands spectacles pluridisciplinaires mettent en scène l’héritage culturel ouïghour. Ces spectacles, créés par les artistes de la communauté eux-mêmes, visent cette même communauté. Ils passent par des processus de réarrangement, de canonisation et surtout de théâtralisation (à l’occidentale) pour rendre l’art traditionnel brut présentable sur une scène. Ces constats mènent à s’interroger sur la manière dont la société ouïghour contemporaine écoute ses musiques et regarde ses danses. Les questions du rôle de l’art et de la culture dans la vie quotidienne et de leur impact sur le sentiment d’appartenance nationale sont au cœur de ces réflexions. Ce travail s’intéresse à l’origine de la professionnalisation issue des mouvements réformistes dans les années 1920-30. La création de troupes artistiques a joué à la fois un rôle éducatif et divertissant, mais aussi de symbole de résistance. Au cours du siècle, ce mouvement artistique a traversé plusieurs périodes, parfois même douloureuses. Mais aujourd’hui, la scène artistique est productive et de plus en plus active. Cette thèse s'appuyant sur l’étude de sources, sur des enquêtes de terrain, l’analyse des discours et des spectacles, essaye de dégager les mécanismes de représentation de soi des artistes ouïghours, en tant que peuple et nation, aux yeux du monde extérieur. En affirmant l'identité ethnique, ces mises en scènes participent efficacement à la construction nationale, un combat qui touche toute la communauté ouïghour, et tente de dresser une image reconnue tant par ses membres qu’aux yeux du mondeThis thesis focuses on the staging of Uyghur traditional art in its musical, chorographical and theatrical forms. For decades, large multidisciplinary performances depicted the Uyghur cultural heritages. Distended to share with their own, these performances are created by the artists of the community. Rearrangement, canonization, dramatizing (in Western style) are used to transform traditional art, to be more attractive on stage. This created an outstanding “bricolage” of all aspect of one culture, to be put in one space and in a limited time. These findings lead to questioning the ways of listening to music and watching dance in contemporary Uighur society. Equally, this phenomenon questions the role of art and culture in their everyday life. Furthermore, the impact of all these transformation on the sense of national identity is at the heart of our reflections. This thesis is interested in the origin of artistic professionalization established by the reform movements in the 1920s-30s, which played a role of educating and at the same time entertaining the population/poeple, and became a symbole of resistence in the region. Today, the stage represents an important aspect of uyghur society. After many years of fieldwork, analysing the discourse and different kinds of professional performances this thesis identifies the self- representation mechanisms of Uyghurs, as one nation, one ethnic group, to the outside world. It relies on historical sources, years of fieldwork in different regions of Xinjiang, includes different kinds of professional or amateur performances, and interviews of the actors and experts's discourse

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse propose d'étudier la comédie musicale hollywoodienne classique à travers la notion anglo-saxonne d'entertainment. Combinant l'étude thématique du genre à des analyses détaillées d'extraits, elle porte un intérêt particulier aux numéros musicaux. Après avoir exploré différentes approches scientifiques de l'entertainment, nous comparons plusieurs genres cinématographiques d'entertainment pour dévoiler des principes communs ; par l'analyse de discours de spectateurs, nous précisons l'entertainment trouvé dans les comédies musicales. Une étude des représentations du musical hollywoodien montre comment les thèmes et les valeurs abordées redoublent d'efficacité par leur traduction en musique et en danse. L'entertainment apparaît, enfin, comme un processus performatif qui fonctionne en matrice et reconfigure les représentations issues des matrices socioculturelles fondamentales. L'agencement du spectacle conformément aux principes de l'entertainment façonne un monde organisé selon certaines normes sociales et genrées. Si la comédie musicale semble un terrain favorable à l'exercice d'un regard dominant (masculin, blanc et hétérosexuel), cette primauté du spectacle crée des possibilités de réceptions alternatives. Certains interprètes emblématiques participent aux principes de l'entertainment, tout en apparaissant en rupture avec ses normes coercitives par leur manière de chanter ou de danser. A travers des études de cas nous montrons comment ces figures recomposent de façon variable les stéréotypes genrés. Le concept d'accordance, défini comme la capacité du couple vedette à produire l'entertainment, permet de repenser les relations se jouant dans le chant et la danseIn this research, I investigate the notion of entertainment to understand how Hollywood musicals provide a specific pleasure and prescribe distinctive values. I use feminist, gay and queer theories in order to develop an alternative to historical and aesthetic approaches to the Hollywood musical that characterize French research. I focus on musical numbers: the translation mechanisms in song and dance they imply have remained largely under-investigated. I first outline the fundamental principles of entertainment by discussing scientific approaches and looking into film genres. I also characterize the specificity of entertainment in musicals by analyzing audience reactions. I then demonstrate through representation analyses how themes and prescribed values gain intensity in musicals because they are enacted using music and dance. Finally I indicate how musicals influence entertainment itself. I show how entertainment runs as a performative matrix, reconfiguring representations based on fundamental socio-cultural matrices. Performances organize the world following certain social and gendered norms. If musicals are fertile ground to enact a dominant gaze (male, white, heterosexual), they also create opportunities for alternative ones because they put show above narrative. Some iconic performers entertain their audience through unique singing or dancing techniques, thereby subverting norms. I detail how such performers reshuffle gender stereotypes using case studies. Finally I analyze how relationships develop through song and dance using the concept of accordance, i. E. Star couples' ability to entertain

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the way "healing" may be seen to be represented and enacted by three recent New Zealand music theatre productions: Once Were Warriors, the Musical-Drama; The Whale Rider, On Stage; and Footprints/Tapuwae, a bicultural opera. This thesis addresses the ways each of these music theatre productions can be seen to dramatise ideologically informed notions of Maori cultural health through the encounter of Maori performance practices with American and European music theatre forms. Because the original colonial encounter between Maori and Pakeha was a wounding process, it may be possible that in order to construct a theatrical meeting between the "colonised" Maori and the "colonial" non-Maori, "healing" is an essential element by which to foster an idea of the post-colonial, bicultural togetherness of the nation. In all three productions, Maori song and dance forms are incorporated into a distinctive form of western music theatre: the American musical; the international spectacle; Wagnerian opera. Wagner's attempts to regenerate German culture through his music dramas can be compared to Maori renaissance idea(l)s of cultural "healing" through a "return" to Maori myths, traditions and song and dance.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal analisar de que modo a multiplicidade de espaços existente na Síria forma regiões de expressões artísticas diversas. As músicas e as danças desse país contêm, intrínsecos às suas escalas e gestos, os elementos do espaço percebido pelo homem. Nesta pesquisa, ressalta-se que o espaço interfere, mas não determina estas escolhas; outros fatores - aqui abordados - também contribuem para a elaboração artística. No presente trabalho, o espaço, constituído da paisagem mais as relações nela estabelecidas, não é considerado neutro. Ele age sobre as pessoas, assim como estas agem sobre ele; o homem está em contínua - e nem sempre consciente - relação com os atributos do seu meio. Como se analisa aqui, a estrutura espacial, a temperatura e a umidade de uma região, sua paisagem sonora (conjunto de sons ao qual um lugar está submetido), os sons e os gestos do cotidiano e outras estruturas maiores interferirão no repertório de sons que é escolhido para fazer música. Além disso, estes elementos imprimirão marcas posturais e de tonicidade muscular, que afetarão os movimentos utilizados para dançar.This work has as its main objective to analyze how the multiplicity of spaces that exists in Syria forms regions of artistic expressions different among them. The music and dances of this country have, intrinsic to their scales and gestures, elements coming from the space noticed by the man. In this research, it is emphasized that the space interferes, but do not determines theses choices; other factors considered here also contribute to the artistic elaboration. In this work, the space, constituted by the landscape plus the relations set in it, is not considered neutral. It acts on people as they act on him; man is in continuous - and not always conscientious - connection with his environment attributes. As we analyze here, the special structure, the temperature and the humidity of a region, its sonorous landscape (sounds to which a place is submitted), the daily sounds ahd gestures plus other major structures interfere in the sounds repertoire that is chosen to make music. Furthermore, these elements will impress postural marks and marks of muscular tonus that affect movements used to dance.

Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts begann sich der Tanzmusik-Markt zu internationalisieren und die europäischen Staaten orientierten sich zunehmend an Trends, die von den USA ausgingen. Die Übernahme afroamerikanischer Charakteristika in die Interpretation, Instrumentation und Kompositionen europäischer Tanz- und Unterhaltungsmusik (TUM) wurde ab den 1930er Jahren, in der Hochzeit swingender Bigbands, zur Regel. Ich möchte in der vorliegenden kulturwissenschaftlichen Arbeit der Frage nachgehen, inwieweit diese Internationalisierung der TUM im Osten Deutschlands nach 1945 weiterhin Bestand hatte. Dort galt ja die USA und der Westen nun als »Klassenfeind«. Gelang es der staatlichen Kulturpolitik, das sozialistische Musik-Feld in ihrem Sinne zu dominieren? Wurde also in der sowjetischen Besatzungszone (SBZ) und frühen DDR eine andere, »nationalere« und sozialistischere Tanzmusik produziert und rezipiert als in Westdeutschland?
Mittels einer hermeneutischen Untersuchung relevanter Musikdiskurse und einer möglichst umfassenden Einbeziehung aller im Musik-Feld tätigen Akteure und ihrer Strategien gelang es mir, ein differenziertes Bild zu zeichnen. Ein Ergebnis ist die Diagnose zweier getrennter Welten: einer Kulturpolitik, welche die öffentliche zensierte Meinung in der DDR bestimmte und westlich beeinflusste Tanzmusik ablehnte. Und andererseits das Musikgeschäft in alltäglichen Tanzabenden, Radioprogrammen und Schallplattenproduktionen, welches gezwungen war, sich an internationalen Trends zu orientieren, wollte es nicht Tänzer brüskieren oder Hörer an die »Westsender« verlieren. Diese Kluft zwischen Intention und Wirklichkeit, unter der vor allem die ausübenden Tanzmusiker zu leiden hatten, konnte zumindest bis zum Mauerbau 1961 nicht überwunden werden. Das lag unter anderem auch an der Uneinigkeit unter den staatlichen Musikexperten, wie genau die Kriterien einer vom Westen unabhängigen Tanzmusik auszusehen haben. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht eingehend das Tanzmusikgeschäft in Dresden, hat aber den Anspruch, auch für andere Städte der DDR in diesem Zeitraum zu gelten.In the beginning of the 20th century, the market for dance music began to become more international, and also the european states imported more and more trends like the new jazz idiomes from the USA. In the 1930`s, when swing was to become the first worldwide pop music, lots of dance bands also in germany integrated the new stilistics in their everyday music work. In this cultural study i would like to ask, if this internationalism in dance music was lasting through the years of early cold war until 1961. In the eastern part of germany under soviet government structures, the USA was the military and cultural enemy. Western dance music like swing and R`n`B had to be replaced by somewhat socialist and nationalist dance music, so the governmental culture politics. Became their wishes reality? Does exist such genre in popular music? With the help of hermeneutics, analysis of relevant discourses and the strategies of musicians, politicians and writers, it is possible to state two worlds of music life in the young GDR. On the one hand, the censored public opinion, in which all western trends in dance music were damned. On the other side, the socialist music business with live music, radio broadcasting and music production, in which music influenced from afroamerican, latin american, jazz and country genres represented a big part. Because radio listeners for example could easily switch to western stations and so be distant from political propaganda. Or the dance halls, which had to consider the wishes of the mostly young dancers for new genres like rock`n`roll because of financial issues. The gap between this two worlds couldn`t be closed until 1961, and especially the dance musicians had to be creative in this regard. The situation became more complex because of the cluelessness of the music experts, how a genuine socialist dance music had to sound like. This study explores the dance music business and cultural politics in dresden, but it claims to be representative also for other cities in the young GDR.

Full textAbstract:
À mi-chemin entre un café, un jardin d’agrément, un bal et une scène théâtrale, les cafés-concerts et les music-halls représentent les divertissements les plus importants du XIXe siècle. Espaces spectaculaires qui accueillent des sociabilités hétérogènes et qui combinent une double fonction artistique et festive, l’identité socioculturelle de ces nouveaux loisirs s’est d’abord élaborée par opposition au statut du lieu d’art. Le postulat de la rareté des répertoires et des artistes issus des cafés-concerts et des music-halls dans l’historiographie des arts scéniques, et dans la transmission des savoirs en danse, nous a conduits à enquêter sur les raisons et les enjeux de cette mise à l’écart. « Lieux dangereux et vulgaires », « spectacles immoraux », « artistes insipides », sont les expressions symptomatiques d’une perception négative fondée sur un ensemble idéologique qui concourt à dessiner les contours d’une illégitimité culturelle. Une première étape de la recherche vise à analyser les principes de distinction sociale et de hiérarchisation artistique en œuvre dans le processus de délégitimation des cafés-concerts et des music-halls, en puisant dans les sources produites par les institutions en charge du contrôle des spectacles au XIXe siècle. Catégorisés en tant qu’objets populaires, les arguments déployés par les instances administratives et la police des théâtres révèlent en premier lieu le fondement d’une idéologie de classe, focalisée sur les origines prétendues populaires de ces divertissements. Entre le Second Empire et la Troisième République, l’histoire des cafés-concerts et des music-halls est traversée par un phénomène de féminisation qui bouleverse les pratiques et les représentations associées à ces espaces et participe à resémantiser leurs premières attributions sociales et symboliques. La seconde phase de ce travail s’intéresse aux effets d’un processus qui interagit sur les plans socioculturel, professionnel et symbolique par une présence féminine érotisée et qui tend à bâtir la catégorie du divertissement comme appartenant au genre féminin. Afin d’interroger les échanges entre altérités féminines et corporéités populaires sur les scènes des cafés-concerts et des music-halls durant la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, la thèse mobilise deux catégories d’artistes féminines — les effeuilleuses et les danseuses de chahut-cancan — réunies autour d’un geste scénique et érotique commun : le déshabillage. L’étude de ce geste ouvre un troisième champ de questionnements sur les rapports entre l’érotique et l’illégitime dans les pratiques professionnelles de femmes qui exercent un métier artistique au sein d’un lieu spectaculaire à la fois déconsidéré et hautement érotisé. À travers les différentes étapes qui jalonnent cette recherche, la réflexion cherche à rendre compte de l’impact du déshabillage érotique sur la sensibilité d’une époque, sur le statut social des femmes, mais également sur les mouvements internes de professionnalisation des artistes de café-concert et de music-hall au XIXe siècle, et plus globalement, sur l’héritage historiographique de ces divertissementsHalfway between a café, a pleasure garden, a ball and a theatrical stage, café-concert and music hall are the main entertainment places in the 19th century. Spectacular spaces that welcome heterogeneous sociability and combine a dual artistic and festive function, the socio-cultural identity of these new leisure activities was first developed as opposed to the status of the art place. The postulate of the rarity of repertoires and artists from café-concert and music hall in the historiography of performing arts, and in the transmission of knowledge in dance, has led us to investigate the reasons of this exclusion and the issues at stake. "Dangerous and vulgar places", "immoral performances", "insipid artists", are symptomatic expressions of a negative perception based on an ideological set that contributes to drawing the contours of cultural illegitimacy. The first stage of the research consists in analysing the principles of social distinction and artistic hierarchy in the process of delegitimization of café-concert and music hall, based on the sources from the institutions responsible for controlling 19th century performances. Categorized as popular objects, the arguments put forward by the administrative authorities and the theatre police reveal first and foremost the basis of a class ideology, focused on the supposedly popular origins of these entertainments. Between the Second Empire and the Third Republic, the history of café-concert and music hall was marked by a phenomenon of feminization that disrupted the practices and representations associated with these places and helped to redefine their first social and symbolic attributions. The second stage of this work focuses on the effects of a process that interacts socioculturally, professionally and symbolically through an eroticized female presence, and that tends to build the entertainment category as belonging to the female gender. In order to question the exchanges between female otherness and popular corporealities on the stages of café-concert and music hall during the second half of the 19th century, the thesis focuses on two categories of female artists — the effeuilleuse (strippers) and the chahut-cancan dancers — gathered around a common scenic and erotic gesture: undressing

Full textAbstract:
Cette étude entend proposer une histoire des élèves de la danse de l'Académie de musique au XIXe siècle (1783-1913). À travers l’étude des étapes de la mise en place institutionnelle de cette école émerge l'identité des élèves de la danse comme apprentis danseurs. Au-delà d'une histoire administrative, ce sont bien les conditions socioéconomiques de l’enfance au travail que révèle ce travail de thèse. Des questions économiques relatives à leur formation aux pratiques culturelles de la danse, les élèves de l'Académie de musique sont au coeur de la vie urbaine et théâtrale parisienne du XIXe siècle. Enfin, l’examen de la circulation des danseurs et des pédagogies à l'échelle européenne a permis d’identifier les mécanismes d’un discours de domination culturelle, construit et revendiqué par l'Académie de musique, à l’échelle du monde occidentalThis study aims at introducing a story of the Music Academy ballet students in the 19th century (1783-1913). The ballet students’ identities and their positions as apprentices come to light through the different steps of the institutional setting-up of that Academy. This thesis goes beyond administrative history and unveils the genuine socioeconomic conditions of children at work. For many reasons going from economic issues concerning their training to ballet cultural practises, the Music Academy students are at the heart of urban and theatrical life of XIXth century Paris. Eventually, an analysis of the ballet dancers ‘ freedom of movement and of the different teaching methods in Europe allows to pinpoint the mechanisms of a cultural domination speech, built by the music Academy and claimed to come from it too, throughout the Western world
