Paola Esposito - Butoh dance as an aesthetic episteme for an anthropology of interiority
16.1.26 16-17PM
This talk presents findings from my long-term research on butoh, a dance form that emerged in Japan in the post-war period and later evolved in an eclectic trans-local art form. Framing butoh as an anthropological object of study, the first part of the paper details some of its sensory phenomenological and praxiographic specificities as a creative movement practice. I go on to describe butoh as a style of knowing with and through the body which can contribute to reshaping one’s experience of the bodymind. The last part of the talk adopts butoh as a heuristic tool for a performative anthropology interested in the anthropology of interiority.

Daniel Stein - Periodical Perceptions of Black Life: The Brownies’ Book and African American Modernism

Brownies' Book is a magazine for children and young adults that was published by W.E.B. Du Bois and Jessie Fauset for two years (1920-1921). Alongside Alain Locke's The New Negro, it is one of the most important publications of the Harlem Renaissance. As an intermedia periodical, it offers a wide range of material for reflection on African American modernity, with a focus on perceptions of black life.
