El valor narrativo de la comunicación en la danza contemporánea: \"habitus\" , musicalidad y emoción

Abstract. The richness of dance comes from the need to work with an individual body. Still, the body ofthe dancer belongs to plural context, crossed by artistic and social traditions, which locate the artists ina given field. We claim that role conflict is an essential component of the structure of collective artisticcreativity. We address the production of discourse in a British dance company, with data that spawnsfrom the ethnography ‘Dance and Cognition’, directed by David Kirsh at the University of California,together with WayneMcGregor-Random Dance. Our Critical Discourse Analysis is based on multipleinterviews to the dancers and choreographer. Our findings show how creativity in dance seems to beempirically observable, and thus embodied and distributed shaped by the dance habitus of the particularsocial context.Keywords: narrative; dance; habitus; emotion; music; memory.
