Mapping Irish movement: Dance, politics, history.

Mapping Irish movement: Dance, politics, history. - 383 p.

Adviser: Barbara Browning.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2003.

This dissertation is an interdisciplinary study of dance and social choreography in Ireland from the Act of Union in 1801 to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. I consider various forms of bodily and social movement as physical cartographies that kinetically contest and shape “the nation”. I am concerned with how dance and other forms of physical culture such as sports, parades, protest marches and pilgrimages have mobilized aesthetic and political conceptions of space in Ireland and Northern Ireland. These practices are specifically considered in relation to notions of territory and geopolitical constructs such as “nation”, “land” and “landscape”. Just as geographers “produce” spaces through the process of mapping, I contend that moving bodies powerfully construct alternate cultural, political and social landscapes.

520 $a This dissertation is an interdisciplinary study of dance and social choreography in Ireland from the Act of Union in 1801 to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. I consider various forms of bodily and social movement as physical cartographies that kinetically contest and shape “the nation”. I am concerned with how dance and other forms of physical culture such as sports, parades, protest marches and pilgrimages have mobilized aesthetic and political conceptions of space in Ireland and Northern Ireland.

520 $a This project examines the physical and spatial history of colonization in Ireland and traces the choreographic nature of Irish resistance movements. Colonial efforts to discipline the Irish landscape were accompanied by the cartographic fixing of the body (and its movement) through acts of mapping. Both the body of the land and the bodies of Irish inhabitants were “emplotted” through the implementation of a strict system of religious discipline, the adoption of European manners and habits, and the suppression of Irish popular culture. These actions were met with actions, gestures and movements of resistance that gave corporeal shape to the mobilizations for Irish independence. Choreography is forwarded as a cartography of the moving body and a map for encountering a nation that is continually in flux. In addition to attending to those moments when the nation is choreographed, I also consider historical moments when dance/movement resists a restrictive choreography. This project examines the tension between the push for national unity, and the ruptures that destabilize and thus reconfigure the national landscape.
