This dissertation has two goals. Substantively, it aims to write a long-neglected transnational and transcultural history of dance in modern China from the early 1900s to the late 1970s, focusing on key moments, figures, organizations, and dance works in relation to their particular historical contexts. Theoretically, it strives to explore the complicated relationship between the bodily dance and dancing body on the one hand, and words, narrative (together with other forms of representation), and ideology on the other. Therefore, conceptually, this study places dance on a plane spanned by two axes: the vertical axis is the word-dance relation, and the horizontal one is the transcultural and transnational dimension. Moving this plane across historical time, this project attempts to capture the dynamics through which the rise and fall of various forces competing, struggling, or collaborating along these two axes had shaped the landscape of dance in China. By highlighting the unique nature of dance, which turns the body into a (non-linguistic and often non-representational) dynamic engine of meaning generation and communication, this project challenges, first, the common conceptions of the body as a passive fetish or metaphor, on which external meanings are inscribed, and second, the hegemonic semiotic system of language- and representation-based paradigms, without, however, detaching dance from its concrete relation with the constraints of these conceptions and paradigms in the analysis.
