Are we approaches Banes identified, privileged the experimental formalisms talking about popular social dances such as salsa, merengue, and of the booming downtown New York dance scene at the time but also bachata? What about modern or postmodern dance - as long as connected to the long history of social, folkloric, and concert dance Latin@s are dancing? In a nightclub, on a stage, or on a screen? And among Latin@ communities in the U.S. what exactly are we supposed to wear to the Latin@ Dance? Though these parameters may be fuzzy, the essays on Latin@ Dance in this Since the late 1990s, scholars have turned to the archives, stages, collection all demonstrate the vitality of latinidad -- the performative screens, and social settings of Latin@ dance in the United States. They repertoires and practices through which Latin@ expressive culture have produced groundbreaking scholarship on contemporary and coheres as meeting points for Latin American-descent communities. historical U.S. Latin@ dance practices and their continuing influence not only within local Latin@ communities but in the national and Latinidad brings under its realm an incredibly diverse population with international dance circuits as well. Here we showcase the work of varied histories and routes of migration to or forceful annexation into the scholars who approach Latin@ dance as both a growing field of inquiry United States. Latinidad also comprises contemporary living conditions within contemporary dance studies and a significant object of study for across a range of politico-economic factors such as race, gender, the project of Latin@ Studies. What Banes announced as a new wave, class, and sexuality. In short, we’ve got a lot going on -- including is now a maturing community of practice that, as documented in the tensions.

Notably, Banes’ presentation advanced the notion that Latin@ choreographers embraced Latina/o, rather than Hispanic, as a banner for the “new” directions of a dance practice. Such a practice was born from within Latin@ communities invested in Cindy García and Ramón H. Rivera-Servera A word from the Guest Editors www.sdhs.org PAGE 3 Unsettling Latinidad: José Limón in “Lament for Ignacio Sanchez Mejías” James Moreno Mexican-born modern dance choreographer, José Limón (1908- Limón replied through a movement vocabulary blending abstract and 1972), formed The José Limón Dance Company in 1946 and placed mimetic gestures. His movements were taught and bound throughout his mentor, Doris Humphrey as Artistic Director, a role she performed the dance, using tense bodily relationships to dramatize the already for the next twelve years. During this association, Humphrey theatricalized ritual between man and bull. He often moved through choreographed dances for Limón in which he performed as both a space in a hobbled way, beating the ground with one foot while hopping culturally marked and culturally unmarked figure. This article examines on the other. His arms and hands regularly moved up and down the the first of Humphrey and Limón’s collaborations, Lament for Ignacio central axis of his body, sometimes miming the stabbing motions of Sanchez Mejías (1946) based on Federico García Lorca’s poem of the a torero. For his costume, Limón went bear-chested and wore ballet same name. In it, Limón portrayed the renowned Andalusian bullfighter slippers and pants. His pants were reminiscent of a torero’s taleguilla, Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, who was gored and killed in the ring. the bullfighter’s tight fitting pants that go to just below the knee. My title, “Unsettling Latinidad”, refers to the ways that Limón’s performance in Lament unsettled latinidad from a fixed geo-political location. Limón’s recognition as both a culturally marked and unmarked figure showed that latinidad was not a fixed or static cultural identity, but a fluid concept that could be connected to, or disconnected from bodies. By culturally marked body I mean a body that is marked as different from dominant and normative cultures (Manning 2006, xv). For example, in the postwar period explored in this paper, the male European-American, or white male body, embodied the dominant normative culture in the United States. This made the white male body culturally unmarked and Limón, culturally marked. However, since Limón was also recognized as culturally unmarked, he unsettled perceptions that tied race to blood and land and revealed flux as a constant rather than anomalous attribute of cultural identity. The Dance By the early 1940s, an arthritic hip had stopped Humphrey from dancing and Lament was the first dance she composed without physically demonstrating the choreography. Through their long working association (Limón had previously danced with the Humphrey/ Weidman Dance Company for ten years) Humphrey and Limón had cultivated a shared movement sensibility that allowed them to construct choreography through images and descriptions of emotions and moods. For example, in rehearsal, Humphrey guided Limón with verbal cues: “[n]ow you are listening, now you hear the bull bellow, now you José Limón in Doris Humphrey’s Lament for Ignacio Sanchez Mejías at Jacob’s Pillow. hear the trumpet, now you have a feeling of strangulation.

  • Passacaglia PRINT
    On Shifting Grounds: Meandering, Modulating, and Möbius Passacaglias David Feurzeig Passacaglias challenge a prevailing assumption underlying traditional tonal analysis: that tonal motion proceeds along a unidirectional “arrow of time.” The term “continuous variation,” which describes characteristic passacaglia technique in contrast to sectional “Theme and Variations” movements, suggests as much: the musical impetus continues forward even as the underlying progression circles back to its starting point. A passacaglia describes a kind of loop. 1 But the loop of a traditional passacaglia is a rather flattened one, ovoid rather than circular. For most of the pattern, the tonal motion proceeds in one direction—from tonic to dominant—then quickly drops back to the tonic, like a skier going gradually up and rapidly down a slope. The looping may be smoother in tonic-requiring passacaglia themes (those which end on the dominant) than in tonic- providing themes, as the dominant harmony propels the music across the “seam” between successive statements of the harmonic pattern. But in both types, a clear dominant-tonic cadence tends to work against a sense of seamless circularity. This is not the case for some more recent passacaglias. A modern compositional type, which to my knowledge has not been discussed before as such, is the modulatory passacaglia.2 Modulating passacaglia themes subvert tonal closure via progressions which employ elements of traditional tonality but veer away from the putative tonal center. Passacaglias built on these themes may take on a more truly circular form, with no obvious start or endpoint. This structural ambiguity is foreshadowed in some Baroque ground-bass compositions.

    No. 2, 2014 “SEARCHING AND SEARCHING WE HAVE COME TO FIND”: HISTORIES AND CIRCULATIONS OF HIP HOP IN PERU Kyle E. Jones Purdue University While ethnographic and historiographic research on hip hop has predominantly focused on large metropolises, less attention has been paid to smaller regional cities and the specific ways hip hop travels between urban locales. This paper examines the movements of youth and hip hop practices in Peru, tracing moments of exchange and interaction to contribute an alternative perspective for understanding how hip hop has taken shape across Peru. Such an approach extends the scholarship on hip hop’s socio-spatial dynamics and provides a rich lens through which to understand the ways particular hip hop practices and social forms emerge. Situating the experiences and recollections of hip hoppers from several cities in 1990s and 2000s Peru, while drawing parallels with other forms of expression, also illustrates how hip hop’s histories and circulations reflect longer-standing patterns of mobility, cultural appropriation, and the centrality of expressive forms in navigating changing circumstances of Peruvian urban life. Desde otras ciudades (Arequipa, Puno, Tacna, Cuzco, Canta, Huacho, Barranca, Trujillo, Huancayo, Piura, San Martín, etc.) hay muchísima historia más que contar.

A great deal of emphasis is placed on purity and its loss, relating nuevo flamenco with the whole history of flamenco and its discourses, as well as tracing its relationship to other musical genres, mainly jazz. While centred on the process of fusion and crossover it also explores through music the characteristics and implications that nuevo flamenco and its discourses have impinged on related issues as Gypsy identity and cultural authenticity.
