  • Figure Skating and the Anthropology of Dance: the Case of Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin
    Andrée Grau: Figure Skating and the Anthropology of Dance: The Case of Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin Figure Skating and the Anthropology of Dance: The Case of Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin Andrée Grau Roehampton University, [email protected] Abstract In this paper, I address a number of topics relevant to anthropology generally and to the anthropology of dance specifically. I consider issues of classification and taxonomies; of interculturalism and transnationalism; of representation, exoticisation and internalised racism. I examine dance, hierarchies and discrimination, and discuss boundaries between dance and non-dance. For example, dance scholars, with a few exceptions, rarely write about figure skating, although it is cognate to Western theatre dance genres, especially ballet. Figure skating is sport, even in its ice dancing incarnation, whilst dance is art even in its ballet competition incarnations. I use as a case study the Russian skaters Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin, who choreographed an ‘Australian Aboriginal Dance’ for their original routine for the 2010 European skating championships and Olympics. This offended Aboriginal elders who made a complaint to the Russian ambassador. I examine the controversy around the routine, how it was reported in the press and how the audience responded in Internet forums, focusing especially on the way Australian Aborigines con- tinue to be portrayed as stone age in popular media. KEY WORDS: aesthetics, Australian Aborigines, ballet, Internet forums, dance, ice ska- ting, taxonomies Introduction One of the premises of the anthropology of dance, is that the term ‘dance’ is problematic as it carries preconceptions of what this activity engages with, which is rooted into a Western way of understanding the body in space and time, situating it in a particular relationship to a soundscape.

Competition and practice will be held at SAP Center at San Jose and Solar4America Ice at San Jose. The 2021 U.S. Championships will return to San Jose for the fourth time (1996, 2012 and 2018), and the first since 2018. The annual event, held since 1914, is the nation’s most prestigious figure skating event, with past champions including Michelle Kwan, Kristi Yamaguchi, Brian Boitano and Scott Hamilton. Champions will be crowned in ladies, men’s, pairs and ice dance at the championship and junior levels. “The Bay Area is synonymous with so many skating greats, so it’s special to return our marquee domestic event to the city of San Jose in the year of our organization’s 100-year anniversary,” U.S. Figure Skating President Anne Cammett said. “We’re confident that with the strong support of the local community and the many activities that will take place as part of our centennial celebration, the 2021 U.S. Championships will be exciting for skaters and fans alike.” In San Jose, the event will take place at the SAP Center at San Jose, with Solar4America Ice at San Jose serving as the official practice venue and the host of U.S.

Notice that tags and page/paragraph number are included on every notecard. You MUST have a paraphrase on each card; direct quotations are optional. Quote cards should include a draft sentence in which you practice working the quote into your paper.

Attention Grabber Title: it wasn't always easy for women Source: Wickham, M. (1997). Superstars of women's track & field. Philadelphia, PA: Chelsea House. http://dx.doi.org/0791043940 Pages: 6 Tags: 2 quote, today Direct Quote: The only thing keeping an athlete back is the limitations of her body and her ability to dream. Paraphrase: Today, many people take women in track and field for granted. Today, there is not much, if not any, discrimination or regulations against women competing on the track. Today, "the only thing keeping an athlete back is the limitations of her body and her ability to dream" (Wickham, 1997, p. 6). But this wasn't always the case for women. They had to fight for what we have today. B. Thesis Statement: American women have evolved significantly in their rights for being able to compete in track and field in the Olympics, starting with their struggles as early as ancient Greece. Once they have gained their right to compete in 1928, the years leading to today have shown an increase in women's rights and they have been able to reshape the image of track and field.
