- W10337416 abstract "Dance as art has been philosophically characterized as involving the natural expressiveness of human movements. But while some authors find the defense of expressiveness essential, others claim that it is not relevant to the understanding of dance and favour instead a focus on style, a supposedly more significant artistic feature.1 This paper is an attempt to provide an alternative account to both these positions, with the first (namely, that the dancers are supposed to convey emotions to us by their naturally expressive movements) seeming too naturalistic and the second (that dance only consists in the performance of complicated gestures of a certain style) overly stylistic. The aim here is to consider the bodily movements neither from the perspective of spectators ‘naively’ attributing some naturally expressive properties to a dance, nor from the point of view of dancers whose main intention is to correctly perform a set of specific technical gestures. As we will see, dance cannot be properly analyzed by means of concepts implying a radical bifurcation of nature and culture, or of the audience’s appreciation and the artists’ intention. Firstly, I will show that, as tempting as it seems to a philosopher of dance, insofar as the medium of the art form is the human body in movement, the notion of natural expressiveness is not unanimously accepted. Further thinkers have repudiated it for its misleading comparison with our common expressive behaviour. This essay will raise two objections to the empiricist implications of an aesthetic theory of dance appreciation focused upon the notion of natural expressiveness. First, such a theory seems indifferent to the cognitive aspects of aesthetic appreciation. It reduces our experience of dance to direct perception. Second, this perspective implies anti-realist, or at least relativist views according to which expressive properties are not real or objective, but subjective and relative to the individuals who perceive them. Secondly, I will urge that the style approach, in overestimating the intentional and conventional features of dance, is not a relevant alternative to natural expressiveness. Again, two objections will be developed. On the" @default.
