This autoethnography explores a dance scholar's previous choreographic trajectory, positioning the author's career within the sixties and seventies Black Arts Movement for social change. Osumare explores several iterations of her dance lecture-demonstration in particular, which was produced over two decades and three continents, demonstrating how temporal and spatial shifts affect the content and context of a choreographic work.

The result is a consideration of how being Black, female, and a dancer provides a particular sociohistorical lens.

Author(s): Demerson, Rainy Consuelo | Advisor(s): Kraut, Anthea | Abstract: This dissertation examines the choreographic techniques of Black women alongside the steps and missteps of scholars and activists in the #RhodesMustFall and #FeesMustFall movements in South Africa. I present contemporary dance as a site of decolonization by composing a kaleidoscopic vision of dance as a process of becoming in entangled time/space, where movement is both a political and kinesthetic manifestation of African philosophies of feminism and interdependence. This interdisciplinary project includes ethnography, performance analysis, and embodied research based on three trips to South Africa between 2017 and 2019. Analysis of performances and interviews in Makhanda, Los Angeles, and New York City accompany that of embodied research in the form of workshops and performances in Tshwane. By relating student protests to choreographies by Dada Masilo and Mamela Nyamza, I argue that Black women use unique c...

The history of the term Black dance is explored with particular attention to contemporary and ongoing debates on its meaning, use and application. A summary of important historical and current uses of the term are engaged and explored in depth. A definition for Black dance and its application are provided in the context of an ongoing argument for its use given the experiences of Black people living in a postmodern global world within the context of a persistent and pernicious politicized, racist system.

Загадочность употребляемого П.А. Сорокиным термина «идеациональный» разрешается его лексической преемственностью по отношению к термину «идеация», использовавшегося ранним Э. Гуссерлем. Близость этих терминов позволяет обратить внимание на сходство философии истории Э. Гуссерля и П.А. Сорокина. The mystery of the term "ideational" used by P.A. Sorokin is explained by its lexical continuity in relation to the term "ideation" used by the early E. Husserl. The proximity of these terms allows us to draw attention to the similarity of the philosophy of history of E. Husserl and P.A. Sorokin.
