- W1577252162 abstract "'Grace Under Pressure: Re-reading Giselle' is a close readingof the Romantic ballet Giselle (1841) , focusing on the BirminghamRoyal Ballet production of 3 March 1992. The Preface provides apersonal introduction, and notes the status of ballet within dancestudies and the academy. It also observes that in choosing Giselleas a text one is required to reassess the historical treatment ofemotion and beauty within academic feminism. Chapter One givesan historical background to Giselle, a literature review and amethodological overview. Ballet has received relatively littleattention from the academy in comparison with other performingarts. Whilst dance scholarship is a growth area in the university,ballet remains neglected. Hence, in order to bring theory acrossfrom areas of greater academic activity, this thesis is structuredaround textual juxtaposition. Thus Chapter Two compares the plotof Giselle with that of the film Blade Runner, and Chapter Threecompares the movement of Giselle with that in the book SEX byMadonna. These comparative texts were also first viewed in 1992:whilst Giselle is usually categorized as 'High' art, however, theybelong in the popular domain. This thesis demonstrates that thecomparative texts differ from their own genres, dystopian fictionand pornography. Consequently, Giselle is shown to be materiallydifferent from other Romantic ballets, particularly in its selfreflexivecritical framework. Chapter Four concludes thediscussion of the 1841 and the 1992 Giselles, and focuses on therepercussions of this study for the academy and the productionand reception of ballet. Throughout this thesis runs theassumption, common in dance studies but less overt in EnglishLiterature, that academic activity is a personal and politicalactivity, and that a study such as this requires that one engagewith the status of academic enquiry both within and without theacademy." @default.
