| Abstract | |
This study discusses aspects of dance spectatorship as a phenomenon present in texts of dance criticism. Firstly, a theoretical investigation allows the exploration of different methodological possibilities for the characterisation of criticism, making comparisons to other forms of texts written about dance pieces, but also being informed by concepts borrowed from language studies and semiotics, thus identifying the structures that operate the association between dance and its audiences as similar to those in the association criticism develops between its readers and the pieces being critiqued. By identifying criticism as one of the stages of dance spectatorship, this type of writing can be characterised by its primordial function as mediation established by the critic between readers and dance works, through the presentation and discussion of some of the elements and operations involved in the processes of creating and understanding criticism ¿ notably its aspects of Description, Contextualisation, Interpretation and Evaluation of the works, that determine the means used by the critiques to create the effects of Prolonging and Displacing the reader¿s aesthetic experience. To illustrate the theoretical discussion, in a second moment two different analises are proposed, guided by a corpus of examples of dance critiques, identifying how these processes are presented, how they are organised, and how they work inside these examples, in three different levels: the production of critiques, que reception of the critiques and the shaping of dance spectatorship by the critiques. Thus, the phenomenon of mediation operated by criticism is demonstrated as a feedback system: one that is built by aspects of spectatorship at the same time as it acts as an agent in the creation of dance spectatorship (AU) | |
