Copyright and choreography, particularly as tied with whiteness, have a refractory history. This book examines the evolution of choreographic works from being federally non-copyrightable, unless they partook of dramatic or narrative structures, to becoming a category of works potentially copyrightable under the 1976 Copyright Act. Crucial to this evolution is the development of whiteness as status property, both as an aesthetic and cultural force and a legally accepted and protected form of property. The choreographic inheritances of LoiÌe Fuller, George Balanchine, and Martha Graham are particularly important to map because these constitute crucial sites upon which negotiations on how to package bodies of both choreographers and dancers--as racialized, sexualized, nationalized, and classed--are staged, reflective of larger social, political, and cultural tensions"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Comparing aesthetics of whiteness and nonwhiteness in relation to American dance -- LoiÌe Fuller, "Goddess of Light," and Josephine Baker, 'Black Venus" : non-narrative choreography as mere 'spectacle' -- George Balanchine, "Genius of American Dance" : whiteness, choreography, copyrightability in American dance -- Martha Graham, "Picasso of American Dance," and Katherine Dunham, 'Matriarch of Black Dance' : exoticism and nonwhiteness in American dance -- Moving into new directions : Cunningham and Ailey. 650 0 $a Copyright $x Choreography $z United States. 650 0 $a Performing arts $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 7 $a LAW / Intellectual Property / Copyright. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a PERFORMING ARTS / Dance / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / General. $2 bisacsh 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://www.netread.com/jcusers2/bk1388/961/9781137321961/image/lgcover.9781137321961.jpg 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217025700.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=220BE8AAA36B11E3A3DF8D90DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
