Narrativas corporales: La danza como creación de sentido Toro Calonje, Alejandra López-Aparicio Pérez, Isidro Comunicación Cuerpo Danza contemporánea Semiología Lingüística Percepción Communication Body Contemporary dance Semiology Lingüísticos Perception Comunicação Corpo Dança contemporânea Semiologia Linguística Percepção Since the origins of humanity, dance has resented the permanent need to define itself as art. Its lack of codes to read it, its absence of legitimacy in powerful circles, the emergence of contemporary dance -which broke the parameters set by classical ballet-, have made it difficult for it to be approached by the great disciplines: the definition that has been provided for it by Philosophy, Anthropology or History would not be enough to give dance its true depth today. That is why a multidisciplinary research trend is emerging that is still searching for its roots to consolidate itself, and which has as its specificity the very practice of dance: dance research. What is dance? What does a dancing body transmit? How does dance communicate? From a historical journey of the emergence of contemporary dance, we will answer these questions by examining their narrative forms. Our conclusion -which is far from being closed- will establish that dance has to do with the body, memory, emotion, perception, and otherness. With the creation of sense, a concept we took from Aude Thuries, PhD in dance research. A proposal that we could call "linguistics of dance". 2019-02-20T12:54:41Z 2019-02-20T12:54:41Z 2018 journal article Toro Calonje, Alejandra; López-Aparicio Pérez, Isidro.
