Voici le programme 2016-2017 du Dance Studies Colloquium que vous pouvez suivre en live streaming à cette adresse :www.temple.edu/boyer/dance/RRPremière séance, le 13 septembre prochain : Clare Croft, "Jill Johnson's Political Embodiments"Tuesday, September 13, 5:30 - 7pm, Chat Lounge, Gladfelter Hall, 10th fl., Temple UniversityAbout Jill Johnson's Political EmbodimentsJill Johnston has often been described as a dance critic or a lesbian feminist activist. Rarely has Johnston’s work as the crucial writer on postmodern dance and a foundational voice of lesbian feminism been considered together. This talk examines how Johnston’s emphasis on the physical as a way of knowing and “speaking,” and on physical engagement as a way of re-imagining hierarchies knits together her work in dance and activism. Specifically, the talk will focus on two major events in Johnston’s career that both happened in 1971: the publication of Marmalade Me, the first book-length publication of her dance writing and her participation in the now infamous panel featuring Johnston and three other feminists, with Norman Mailer as moderator. The talk moves beyond biography toward imagining the larger implications of thinking about Johnston’s arts criticism and activism: how might the two modes, taken together, create what Croft calls a “queer lesbian” stance on the body?About Clare CroftClare Croft is a dance historian, theorist, and sometimes dance dramaturg and curator.
