Methodologies in the study of dance: ethnology
See Cohen, 1998
Dance ethnology has been developed as a field primarily by North American researchers interested in understanding the cultural diversity of dancing. This approach is situated within scholarly institutions, including university departments, professional associations, and journals. Dance ethnologists also contribute to other domains of activity in interactions with performers, presenters, audiences, and other dance enthusiasts. In the United States, dance ethnology has tended, like ethnomusicology, to study non-Western dance genres abroad or among immigrant groups, and, like folkloristics, to examine the dances of the traditional rural and new urban folk groups. In Europe the parallel discipline of ethnochoreology developed much earlier from roots in folklore and musicology; its scholars have focused primarily on the study of their own national traditions, although this agenda has broadened in recent years to include the traditions of immigrant groups and urban contemporary dance.

My paper outlines an anthropological approach to dance focusing on the body’s interpretation within the contexts of space, sensuality, theater, fashion, aesthetic quality, and the development of gesture systems of the body. The study addresses the question whether the bareness of the body and space may be defined as a form of emptiness or rather as a case of sincere manifestation and revolves around the issues of social and personal attitudes related to dance performance, including mimetic performers, limits of social body norms, and the possibilities of survival, especially the changes in the female body’s perceptual and social roles and strategies.
