#CallforPaper: #Eros and #Thanatos: #Bodies in #Dance

https://journals.aau.dk/index.php/JOS/announcement/view/212

"Suggested #topics include, but are not limited to:

#Somaesthetics in Dance: Exploring the application of somaesthetics in understanding the lived experience of dancers, choreographers, and spectators in the context of the themes of Eros and/or Thanatos.
Erotic Bodies in Dance: Investigating the manifestation of Eros in dance, examining how choreography, movement, and expression convey sensuality, desire, and connection. How do dancers and/or choreographers embody and communicate the erotic aspects of human experience through their physicality? Can Eros be choreographed or is it always an improvisation?
Mortality and Transformation: Exploring the theme of Thanatos in dance, investigating how the art form serves as a vehicle for expressing the themes of mortality, loss, and transformation. How can dance be a means of confronting and transcending the inevitability of death?
The Interplay of Eros and Thanatos: Analyzing the intersection of Eros and Thanatos within dance narratives and performances. How do choreographers and dancers navigate the balance (or perhaps imbalance) between these forces, and what narratives emerge from this interplay?
A Focus on theorists and a critical appreciation of their contributions in the context of these themes: for example, and especially, the work of Nietzsche, Freud; Bataille, and Lacan.
A Focus on practice and practitioners including critical responses to dance works (such as, for example, Maurice Bejart’s ”Eros Thanatos”), the decoding of dance practices, and practitioner essays on creative and destructive processes in choreography, improvisation and dance practice.
