- W2655141343 abstract "The body has not been a prestigious topic among scholars of the arts. Aesthetician Roman Ingarden (1986, 46) has written: We may doubt whether so-called dance music, when employed only as a means of keeping the dancers in step and arousing in them a specific passion for expression through movement, is music in the strict sense of the word. In this passage, Ingarden appears merely to be establishing objective criteria for what counts as music; yet he relies on the dismissal of the body that recurs consistently throughout Western culture. As we shall see, such attitudes have distorted the ways we tell the history of European music, but they have especially warped Western reactions to Africanbased musics-musics that often strive to animate the body in dance. The most notorious of these reactions are the censorious yet prurient accounts of African music and dance that appear in records of European colonizers. To explorers, traders, and missionaries accustomed to particular codes of physical propriety, the bodily gestures in African ritual often seemed clear evidence of savagery; the performances they observed appeared to confirm the absence of culture among these people whom the Europeans were all too ready to exploit. Such reactions have been carefully documented in studies of black culture by scholars such as Lynne Emery (1972), and the labeling of dance rhythms as primitive continues to plague the reception of African-American musics even today-in dismissals of disco or rap, for example (on Europeans' misperceptions of other cultures, see also Pratt [1992]). SUSAN MCCLARY is professor of musicology at McGill University. She has published critical essays on music ranging from Monteverdi to Madonna. Her books include Feminine Endings: Music, Gender, and Sexuality (University of Minnesota Press, 1990) and Music and Society (Cambridge University Press, 1989), coedited with Richard Leppert. ROBERT WALSER is professor of musicology at Dartmouth College. He is the author of Running with the Devil: Power, Gender, and Madness in Heavy Metal Music (Weslyn University Press, 1993) and articles about Miles Davis, Prince, and Public Enemy." @default.
