Dance Fields Conference Boa NEW
Dance Fields Conference April 19th – 22nd 2017 Book of Abstracts (Chronologically listed) SESSIONSPANELSPRACTICALSWORKSHOPSROUND TABLES Thursday, April 20th 10:00 – 11:30 Session I Chair: Ann R. David Michael Huxley Dance Studies in the UK 1974-1984: A historical consideration of the boundaries of research and the dancer’s voice The first Study of Dance Conference was held at the University of Leeds in 1981. The following year saw the First Conference of British Dance Scholars in London, leading to the inauguration of the Society for Dance Research and then the publication of its journal, Dance Research. Since 1984, the field of dance studies in the UK has both developed and been debated. My paper draws on archival and other sources to reconsider this period historically. With the benefit of current ideas of what constitutes dance, practice, research, and history, it is possible to consider the early years of UK Dance Studies afresh. In the twenty-first-century there are some accepted notions of dance studies. I would argue that they have established boundaries, but that these are often unstated. The period is re-examined with a view to uncovering a broader, and indeed more inclusive, idea of dance studies. In this, attention is given to the researches of practitioners in the period; both published, including in New Dance, and unpublished. Whilst recognising the significant scholarship of the period, the paper also considers the ideas that dancers gave voice to. The analysis is taken further by considering the unexamined discourses that helped enable research in dance in the UK to develop in the way it did. -

A Mediated Magic the Indian Presence in European Modernism
A Mediated Magic The Indian Presence in European Modernism AN INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ARRANGED BY AXEL AND MARGARET AX:SON JOHNSON FOUNDATION IN STOCKHOLM AND ENGELSBERG ON THE 28TH OF AUGUST 2017 Front cover: Mandala by Carl Gustav Jung. A Mediated Magic The Indian Presence in European Modernism AN INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ARRANGED BY AXEL AND MARGARET AX:SON JOHNSON FOUNDATION IN STOCKHOLM AND ENGELSBERG ON THE 28TH OF AUGUST 2017 4 Outline A Mediated Magic – The Indian Presence in European Modernism * This seminar is an initiative to discuss the impact of India in the history of ideas, philosophy and the arts at the turn of the 20th century. It is a part of Indian Influences on the West, a larger project run by Axel and Margaret Ax:son Johnson Foundation during 2016-2018 and part of the Foundation’s ongoing effort to further the dissemi- nation of scholarly knowledge within the Humanities and Social Sciences. In 2016, the Foundation partnered with Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi to hold a workshop on Indian Roots of European Modernism: The Visual and Performing Arts which is now being developed further. The aim is to investigate the historical and philosophical influences of Indian thought upon art, music, dance, theatre and psychology in the West at the turn of the 20th century. There was already a strong base for the circulation of Indian ideas via Schopenhauer’s enchantment with Hinduism (in turn via Antequil-Duperron’s Latin translations of some Upanishads), followed by the Schlegel brothers’ translation in 1823. Yet, few know of Richard Wagner’s unfinished opera called the Buddha Project, Les Ballets Russes or Serge Diaghilev’s debt to Anna Pavlova’s Le Ballet Hindou. -
Social Reforms and Classical Music in British Literature and Culture from 1870 to 1945
Music Made Meaningful: Social Reforms and Classical Music in British Literature and Culture from 1870 to 1945 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David Henry Deutsch, M. A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Sebastian Knowles, Advisor David Adams Mark Conroy Copyright by David H. Deutsch 2011 Abstract This dissertation examines the importance of classical music portrayed in British literature as a means to indicate social worth, intellectual ability, and political identity. Most scholars of music and literature emphasize the abstract, avant-garde influence of quartets and fugues on novels and poetry, overlooking the broader cultural implications of music in Britain. This project demonstrates how, from the 1870s, authors such as Benjamin Jowett, Walter Pater and Oscar Wilde used diverse appreciations of opera and instrumental music to make socio-economic and moral distinctions, as well as to portray political cohesion through communal pleasures. Turning to literature written after 1900, I show how modernist authors such as T. S. Eliot, James Joyce, and Virginia Woolf revised these late-Victorian themes and used an ability to understand classical music as a litmus test for determining a character‟s placement within intellectual hierarchies. To locate these literary concerns within their cultural context, I uncover how journalists depicted concerts in domestic and institutional settings to indicate the value of communities that could create and sustain an art increasingly recognized as nationally important. Having established the social significance of classical music, I detail how writers relied on musical proclivities to justify the value of alienated subcultures to the larger British populace. -

The Construction and Representation of National and Racial Identities in London West End Revue 1910-1930 David Paul Linton Goldsmiths College University of London English and Comparative Literatures Declaration I declare that the work presented in this thesis is entirely my own work and has not been submitted for a degree at another university.

The central research question is: what do these representations of national and racial identities in West End revue tell us about wider British culture and society in this period? In answering this question, I explore and develop a number of understandings of how national and racial identity operated in mainstream popular culture. -

Sullivan-Journal
Sullivan-Journal Sullivan-Journal Nr. 6 (Dezember 2011) Vor 150 Jahren beendete Arthur Sullivan im April 1861 sein Studium am Konservatorium in Leipzig. Sein Thema für die Abschlussarbeit war die Bühnenmusik zu Shakespeares Drama Der Sturm (The Tempest), die am 6. April 1861 bei einem Konzert im Leipziger Gewandhaus vorgestellt wurde. Aus gegebenem Anlass widmet sich dementsprechend 150 Jahre nach der Uraufführung ein Beitrag im 6. Sullivan-Journal diesem Werk, das Sullivan im Folgejahr bei der englischen Erstaufführung in London am 5. April 1862 berühmt machte. Aus der frühen Phase seines Schaffens stammt auch das Konzert für Cello und Orchester (1866). Hierauf wer- fen wir einen Blick mit Beiträgen von beiden Seiten des Atlantiks: Richard Silverman (USA) und unser Mitglied David Mackie (Schottland) beleuchten die musikalische Struktur und die Rekonstruktion von Sullivans Cellokonzert. Darüber hinaus befassen wir uns in einem historischen und einem neueren Beitrag mit der Konzertouvertüre Marmion (1867), mit einem neuen Blickwinkel auf Sullivans Opernschaffen und einem vielfach vernachlässigten Bereich in Sullivans Œuvre, dem Ballett. Victoria and Merrie England entstand 1897 zum Diamantenen Thronjubiläum von Königin Victoria. Ihr zu Ehren entwarf Sullivan ein Ballett, das – ähnlich wie das Finale von Smetanas Libussa – Episo- den aus Legende und Geschichte auf die Bühne bringt. Mit diesem Beitrag verweisen wir zu- gleich auf das 60-jährige Thronjubiläum von Königin Elizabeth II., das im Sommer 2012 gefei- ert wird. Und schließlich hat unser Mitglied John Balls aus Norwich (der Partnerstadt von Koblenz) sich intensiv mit Sullivans Beziehung zu einem der bekanntesten Musikfestivals des 19. Jahr- hunderts, dem Norwich Tiennial Festival, auseinander gesetzt.
